Whether youre dealing with an occasional (偶爾) pimple or fighting against bad breakouts (爆發(fā)), there are a lot of myths about how to bring acne (粉刺) under control. Think you know the best way to deal with breakouts? Take our quiz and test your acne IQ! 1. True or false? Eating chocolate and French fries causes acne. False. What you eat plays little or no part in causing acne. Food allergies (過敏) could cause some skin problems, but studies show no connection between the sugars and fats in your favourite junk foods and acne. Of course, eating healthy food wont hurt you, either. 2. You should always pop a pimple. False. When you pop a pimple, the bacteria (細菌) and dead cells (細胞) in it may go into surrounding skin and cause more skin problems. Popping a pimple wont make it go away much faster. It will just look a little different- and maybe much worse. 3. Scrubbing (擦洗) your face three times a day helps make acne go away. False. Sorry, you cant scrub acne away. Scrubbing hurts skin and can make acne look worse.Instead, go easy on your skin. Gently wash your face with mild (溫和的) soap and water, then pat dry, once or twice a day. And skip the washcloth; your (clean) hands will do the trick. 31. Which of the following might cause acne according to the passage?A. Eating chocolate B. Eating French fries C. Food allergies D. Eating healthy food32. Which of the following will help you deal with acne according to the passage?A. To pop a pimple B. To wash your face as often as possibleC. To scrub your acne D. To pat your face instead of using a washcloth33. Which can be inferred from the passage?A. The less you do with acne, the better.B. Dont use soap when you wash your face.C. Popping a pimple can help cure acne.D. People who have acne should eat less junk food. ( Maybe right, but cant be inferred from passage?)34. Whats the main purpose of the passage?A. To test your IQ. B. To teach you how to prevent acne.C. To promote the selling of a certain kind of soap. D. To teach you how to deal with acne breakouts.（B）Believe it or not, you cant escape Disney world. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Winnie the Pooh look out from T-shirts, school bags and lunch boxes. Cartoons such as "Snow White" and "The Lion King" shape the childhoods of countless kids.While Disneys products might have been your favourites as a child, you may not have realized that Disney has tried to shape your imagination. "The Little Mermaid" is a good example. The lesson of the original tale was the evils of lust (欲望的惡魔). In the original story, the mermaid lusts after the prince but the prince does not choose her. In the end, she dies while the sea witch lives. In Disneys film, the lesson is completely lost because the mermaid lives. The prince picks her, and the sea witch dies. Disney completely leaves out the destructive nature of lust. According to US writer Elizabeth Bell, Disney tries to keep its innocence (天真) by taking violence, sex, and race struggles out of the movies. However, these are all real-life problems that children must face. While "family-friendly" treatment is the way Disney has dealt with classic fairy tales, its films spread American values. Aladdin and the lamp is a well-known story. Though the film is set in an Arabian city, its treatment of romance is very much American: young people choose their own mates and recognize the right person right away. Even parents accept the love when they see their childrens happiness. Aladdin and heroine Jasmine have physical contact during their first meeting. The common American advice "be yourself" works. Whats more, some critics (評論家) have pointed out that Disney visually makes fun of Arab culture in the film. For example, a holy (神圣的) man hurts himself playing with fire, and thieves with scimitars (彎刀) run through the streets. Disney is called the top promoter of Americanization. "It is a danger to our cultural diversity (多樣性)," said Akio Igarashi, a professor in a Japanese university. 35. How does the writer show the danger of Disney products?A. By examples and quotation (引言). B. By presenting different sides of an argument.C. By listing childrens favourite Disney figures.D. By pointing out the real-life problems kids face.36. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Disney deals with classic fairy tales in a family-friendly way.B. Disney films try to avoid violence, sex and race problems.C. Disney films are falling out of favour of many children.D. The Disney Little Mermaid does not show the evils of lust.37. Which of the following is NOT a problem with Disney films?A. They leave out real life problems that children must face.B. The original lesson contained by fairy tales is lost in Disney films.C. They are a danger to cultural diversity. D. Disney figures can often be seen in schools.38. What is the purpose of the story?A. To introduce to you some fairy tales that Disney has remade.B. To tell you about some important American values.C. To show you the negative effects Disney can have.D. To promote American values. （C）Saturday，March 24th We have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand(泰國).

Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets. Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents. He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.42. According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that _. A. life for a child is comparatively easy B. a child is always loved whatever he does C. if much is given to a child, he must do something in return D. only children are interested in life43. After a child grows up, he _. A. will have little time playing B. has to be successful in finding a job C. can still ask for help in time of trouble D. should be able to take care of himself44. The underlined word "responsibilities" in the second paragraph means_. A. duties B. jobs C. suggestions D. desires45. The main idea of the passage is _ . A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains B. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardC. childhood is the most enjoyable time in ones lifeD. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life 第II卷 非選擇題 （60分） 五、短文改錯 （101分）對標有題號的每一行作出判斷；如無錯誤，在該行右邊橫線上畫一個勾()；如有錯誤(每行只有一個錯誤)，則在那個錯的詞下劃一橫線，在該行右邊橫線上寫出改正后的詞。 When I was a middle school student, I think 46.
