• 11．Do you love holidays but hate the increase in weight that follows？You are not alone.
     Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods.Many people，however，are worried about the weight that comes along with these delicious foods.
     With proper planning，though，it is possible to control your weight.The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much.You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy.The following suggestions may be of some help to you.
     Don't miss meals.Before you leave home for a feast（宴會），have a small，lowfat snack.This may help to keep you from getting too excited before delicious foods.
     Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables.
     A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full.
     Use a small plate；a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.
     Better not have highfat foods.Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.
     Choose lean meat.Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.
     If you have a sweet tooth，try mints（薄荷）and fruit.They don't have fat content as cream and chocolate.

• 12．The forest of today will not be the forests of tomorrow.Rising temperatures，trees being cut down，development and climate-change-caused disasters are changing the very makeup of the Earth's forests，new research published in Science finds.
     Older，bigger trees are being lost at an alarming rate，making the planet's forests shorter and younger.The change is being driven at different rates by different causes in different places，the study's authors say，but the consequences will be global.
     Old growth forests absorb and store massive amounts of climate-warming CO₂.They provide habitats for rare and endangered species and promote rich biodiversity.Researchers found that the world lost roughly one-third of its old growth forests between 1900 and 2015.In North America and Europe，they found that tree mortality（死亡率） has doubled in the past 40 years.
     "Warming temperatures，wildfires，logging and insect outbreaks were among the many causes of the decline，" says Nate McDowell，the study's lead author. "What's perhaps more concerning is that the trajectory（發展軌跡） of all these disturbances is generally increasing over time and is expected to continue increasing in the future." he says.
     McDowell's focus is on how trees are affected by rising temperatures，arguably the biggest driver of forest change.To get a broader understanding of how forests are changing globally，he brought in more than 20 other researchers in different fields.Together，they examined more than 160 previous studies about tree mortality and its global causes，applying current satellite data and modeling to create a look at the Earth's changing forests to date.
     "It's not a shock，but it's very sad，" says Kristina，an ecologist and leader of the ForestGEO Ecosystems &Climate Program who helped with the research. "We as a human society are hitting these forests so rapidly with so many different changes that they can't keep up." she says.
  
  （1）What can we know from the figures in the paragraph 3？

  
  A．More trees should be planted in no time.
  B．We are losing old growth forests quickly.
  C．Forests are important habitats for wildlife.
  D．Different trees can absorb CO₂ differently.
  （2）What can we say about McDowell's research？

  
  A．Timely and long-standing.
  B．All-sided and careful.
  C．Time-limited and regional.
  D．Traditional and extensive.
  （3）What's Kristina's attitude towards the findings of the research？

  
  A．Worried.
  B．Optimistic.
  C．Supportive.
  D．Indifferent.
  （4）What's the writer's purpose of writing the passage？

  
  A．To call on people to plant more trees.
  B．To discuss the influence of climate change.
  C．To warn against the loss of old growth forests.
  D．To compare forests of today with those of the future.

第二節 （共1小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）

• 15．Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking.（1）

  Do you want to be a good public speaker？Here are some principles you must master.
     People want to listen to someone who is interesting，relaxed and comfortable.Too often，when you stand up to give a speech，you focus on the "public" at the expense of the "speaking."（2）

  Focus on the speaking.Talk directly to your audience，be yourself and make a connection.
     Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes.Yet，the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking.People's attention wanders constantly.In fact，most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker's message.So，don't stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it's a truly serious one.（3）

  
     Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.（4）

  And like everything else in life，that takes practice.Remember，even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.
     （5）

  It's rare to hear someone say， "I wish that speaker had spoken longer." On the other hand，you probably can't count the times that you've thought， "I'm glad that talk is over.It seemed to go on forever!" So surprise your audience.Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated.It's better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.
  
  A.Do the opposite.
  B.You want to be an effective public speaker.
  C.You don't need to apologize for a minor slip.
  D.When it comes to public speaking，less is usually more.
  E.The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience.
  F.Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners.
  G.However，the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.

• 19．閱讀下面短文，根據所給情節進行續寫，使之構成一個完整的故事。
      "I'm going to miss you so much，Poppy，" said the tall，thin teenager.He bent down to hug his old friend goodbye.He stood up，hugged his parents，and smiled，trying not to let his emotions get the better of him.
      His parents were not quite able to keep theirs under control.They had driven their son several hours out of town to the university where he would soon be living and studying.It was time to say goodbye for now at least.The family hugged and smiled through misty eyes and then laughed.
      The boy lifted the last bag onto his shoulder，and flashed a bright smile. "I guess this is it，" he said. "I'll see you back home in a month，okay？" His parents nodded，and they watched as he walked out of sight into the crowds of hundreds of students and parents.The boy's mother turned to the dog，"Okay，Poppy，time to go back home."
      The house seemed quiet as a tomb without the boy living there.All that week，Poppy didn't seem interested in her dinner，her favorite toy，or even in her daily walk.Her owners were sad too，but they knew their son would be back to visit.Poppy didn't.
      They offered the dog some of her favorite peanut butter treats.They even let her sit on the sofa，but the old girl just wasn't her usual cheerful self.Her owners started to get worried. "What should we do to cheer Poppy up？" asked Dad. "We've tried everything."
      "I have an idea，but it might be a little crazy，" smiled Mom. "Without anybody left in the house but us，this place could use a bit of fun.Let's get a little dog for Poppy."
      It didn't take long before they walked through the front door carrying a big box.Poppy welcomed them home as usual but when she saw the box，she stopped.She put her nose on it.Her tail began wagging（擺動）ever so slowly，then faster as she caught the smell.
