Teenagersdodge ecurity guards to put their names on trains and buses. But over the past decade, graffiti has all but disappeared from Britain's cities. Between 2007 and 2012 the number of incidents of graffiti recorded by the British Transport Police fell by 63%. A survey by the Environment Ministry shows that fewer places are blighted by tags than ever. Graffiti are increasingly confined to sanctioned walls, such as the Stockwell ball courts. In time the practice may die out entirely. The most obvious reason for the decline in tagging and train-painting is better policing. Numerous CCTV cameras mean it is harder to get away with painting 川egally. And punishments are more severe. A generational shift is apparent, too. Fewer teenagers are getting into painting walls. They prefer to play with iPads and video games. Some have gone to art school and want to make money from their paintings. The Internet means that painters can win far more attention by posting pictures online than they can by breaking into a railway yard. Taggersand graffiti artists mostly grew up in the 1980s and 1990s.Those men and almost all are menare now older and less willing to take risks. Graffiti may eventually disappear. But for now the hobby is almost respectable. The former graffiti artists paint abandoned warehouses at the weekend. It has become something to do on a Sunday afternoon a slightly healthier alternative to sitting and watching football.1 .Teenagers are not afraid of being caught by security guards when they put their names on trains and buses. F2 .Less tags can be found in public places nowadays.T3 .Because of better policing graffiti decreases. T4 .Some teenagers go to art school in order to learn to paint walls. F5.Taggers and graffiti artists are still willing to take risks 選擇題（每題10分）Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory（E|3第安人保護區(qū)）that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life. Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead, Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete運動員）in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team. In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the 1500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping and throwing contests. People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events.

With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald's is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald's, called the Big Mac Inde X 巨無霸 指數(shù)）.That's not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald's in India doesn't serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans. Not everyone in the world has been happy to greetRonald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism（沙文主義）,and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and bad food. II The next year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonald's, killing a 27-year-old employee. No one claimed responsibility. But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald's is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE? BA. McDonald's was founded in 1948.B. McDonald's has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.C. McDonald's has over 30,000 locations in the world now.2. The word ubiquitous in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean CA. very crowdedB. very cleanC. existing everywhere3. From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that AA. McDonald's designs its menu to suit the local peopleB. millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald'sC. the McDonald's menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as theBig Mac4. What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald's? AA. They destroyed a McDonald's under construction.B. They protested outside a McDonald's.C. They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald's.5. In C, an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald's restaurant in France.A.1998B. 1999C.2000選擇題（每題10分） 正誤判斷題I've been living in the country for more than 10 years. It means quietness, privacy, harmony and peace for me. Living in the country requires an active lifestyle. It involves activities like doing daily chores, preparing firewood for winter heating, feeding animals including pets and livestock, tending the garden, or securing fences, etc. For me, the most attractive activities are fishing, hunting and hiking. I enjoy seeing what nature has to offer everyday through a simple walk down the little trail, or a relaxing drive along the country road with patches of green grass ornamented with wildlife sightings of birds, moose, bears, deer, etc. Living the country life helps us appreciate some of the simpler things, things that make us feel good about ourselves and the world. It may be just a get together on a Saturday at the local farmers market, or a project or a problem that the community might pull together to help solve. I have participated in a few community projects, like dealing with out-of-control grass fires, a roof that collapsed from a large snow fall, or even helping a recent widow with fire wood for the winter. Sometimes I am surprised by how much benefit we receive from helping others and as for this community I can' t say enough.I really enjoy living the country life. I know it' s not for everyone, but I know it's for me.1. The author has lived in the countryside for more than adecade, and he/she loves living there.T2. Living in the country is not busy at all.F3.

The newspaper says we should sort trash.Molly: That would be great! I always hate it when people mixing all the trash together.Peter: E Many communities have already done that.Molly: Yeah. The benefits of sorting out trash are obvious.Peter: For instance?Molly: If trash is sorted, it can be transferred to factories instead of the disposal plant.Peter: That makes sense. BMolly: With trash separated, pollution caused by incineration can be avoided.Peter: It is high time for us to sort out the trash. Trash is trash only when everything is mixed together.C they can be useful again.Molly: A Things like paper, glass, and plastics can all be recycled. They can be reused.Peter: Sorting is good. D If people have no idea how to sort their trash, they will still put all waste in the same bag. Molly: You are right. People should be informed about how to do that in the first place. Moreover, sorting trash should be made easy for us. Otherwise, few people would bother to do it.Peter: I hope everything goes smoothly!Molly: I believe it will.單元自測3一、選擇填空，從A、B、C三個選項中選出一個能填入空白處的最佳選項。（每題10分）題目1-These are certainly beautiful flowers.

But the meaning of it varies in different social contexts.Liu Hui: Why does it exist in modern society?Dr. Smith: Well, researchers link educational inequality to socioeconomic, racial and geographic reasons.Liu Hui: So it is very likely that educational inequality exists in different forms in different countries.Dr. Smith: Yeah, you are right. For example, in the UnitedStates, although skin color is linked to other forms of inequality, it is evident in education.Liu Hui: Educational inequality exists in China, too. For example, the college entrance rate is much higher in Beijingthan in other provinces. How do you think can we someday eradicate the inequality?Dr. Smith: It's impossible to answer such a big question in few words.

For many studentsB. a major barrierC. equality in access to educationD. different peopleE. non-traditional studentsThe National Union of Students (NUS) welcomes the news that greater numbers of black and disabled students are studying at UK universities, but there is still a lot of work to be done on widening access, writes the union's president, Gemma Tumelty. A recent Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG)equalities review showed that significant numbers of potential students felt their disability was B to accessing higher education （HE）. This is simply unacceptable.Equality and diversity is not entirely a “numbers game” and before too much praise is given we need to hear more from E , not just about their experience of accessinghigher education but also going through the system. Equality in society is absolutely, and fundamentally, linked to C. A, university is the place where they will be first exposed to different cultures and D. As well as fighting for better access, the NUS wants to see diversity properly valued and promoted within the student experience. Many pay lip service to the value of diversity, but is this recognized and promoted as a core asset to those who go through the HE system?Equality in society can be promoted by equality and diversity at university. But the benefits of university as a positive, diverse environment must be seen by students as adding “value” as much as any other factors before the numbers game is really won by the champions of diversity.選擇題（每題10分） 選擇題It can be really frustrating （使人沮喪的）for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny” members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that? Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classesof while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular
