第二部分 閱讀理解（共兩節，滿分30分）第一節（共4小題；每小題6分，滿分30分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

• 1．I'm a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year.In the society where my peers （同齡人） and I live，we tend to accept the rat race values.As students，we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs.I enjoy studying and have consistently received A's in my classes.There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams.It was a great accomplishment.
     Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad.Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home.Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged （嘮叨） him to let her go to work.Their constant arguing bothered me，so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job.He agreed，and their relationship has improved since then.
     My most proud achievement，however，is my successful work in the local old folks' home.My grandparents had raised me since I was a child.I wept （哭泣） bitterly when they died.Unlike many of my classmates，I do not take part in my school's community service to earn points.I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I'm contributing to a worthwhile cause.This is where I can help.I talk to the elderly，assist them with their daily life，and listen to their problems，glory days and the hardships they experienced.
     Last year，I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time.Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year.When I reflect on my accomplishments，I'm especially proud of my service at the old folks' home，so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future.I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate as well as find great satisfaction in it，after all.

• 2．There was a time in the 1960's and 1970's when some people believed that coffee would replace tea as Britain's favourite drink，but that did not happen，and today，tea remains Britain's favourite drink.
     To say that the British are fond of tea is something of an understatement.From the Royal（皇室的）Family down to the homeless and the out-of-work，tea is more than just a pleasure.It is an important part of life!
     The popularity of tea in the United Kingdom has a long history.It was in 1657 that Thomas Garway，the owner of a coffee house，sold the first tea in London.The drink soon became popular as another choice besides coffee.
     In those days，however，tea was not something for anyone.For a century and a half，it remained an expensive drink.Many bosses served a cup of it to their workers in the middle of the morning，thus inventing a lasting British institution，the "tea break".But as a social drink outside the workplace，tea was served for the nobility（貴族）and for the growing middle classes.Among those who had the money for tea，it became very popular as a drink to be enjoyed in cafés and "tea gardens".
     It was the 7th Duchess of Bedford who，in around 1800，started the popular "afternoon tea"，which took place at about four o'clock.At about the same time，the Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread with something（e.g.jye.ai）between them，and before long，a small meal at the end of the afternoon with tea and sandwiches had become part of a way of life.
     As tea became much cheaper during the nineteenth century，its popularity spread right through British society.In working-class households，it was served with the main meal of the day，eaten when workers returned home after a day's labour.This meal has become known as "high tea".
     Today，tea can be drunk at any time of day.Most people in Britain drink tea for breakfast.The mid-morning "tea break" is an institution in British offices and factories.Later in the day，"afternoon tea" is still a way of life in the south of England and among the middle classes，while "high tea" has remained a tradition in the north of Britain.
  
  （1）Who played an important part in the beginning of tea time in England？

  
  A．Thomas Garway.
  B．The Royal Family.
  C．The Earl of Sandwich.
  D．The Duchess of Bedford.
  （2）What does the underlined word "institution" mean in Paragraph 4？

  
  A．drink
  B．workplace
  C．tradition
  D．order
  （3）What can we learn from the passage？

  
  A．The "tea break" kept the workers from being sleepy after lunch.
  B．Workers could enjoy a cup of tea in "tea gardens" at their workplace.
  C．"High tea" was usually served with the main meal for the middle classes.
  D．The "afternoon tea" together with sandwiches became popular in around 1800.
  （4）What is the best title of the passage？

  
  A．The Popularity of Tea
  B．Tea and the British
  C．Tea and the Middle Class
  D．The History of Tea

• 3．A night at the movies is always a good idea.But when you leave the theater and realize you just dropped ＄45 on a ticket and some snacks，you'll wish you had been patient enough to wait until the movie came out on Netflix.The average movie ticket price in the United States in 2000 was ＄5.39；now，a ticket is over ＄9.
  The main reason that movie tickets have gotten so expensive is because of inflation （通貨膨脹）.It was actually more expensive to go to the movies in the 70s than it is now.A ticket in 1978 cost ＄2.34.If you plug that into an inflation calculator，the same ticket would cost you ＄9.46 today.According to the National Association of Theater Owners，the average cost for a ticket today is ＄9.11.
  Another reason you need to spend some of your life savings to see a movie on the big screen is that theaters are competing with streaming services that produce their own films，such as Netflix，Hulu，and Amazon.And let's be honest，sitting at home on your sofa or in your bed is more comfortable than sitting in a cold theater.
  Because of streaming technology，theaters have to do something to bring in customers.Attractions—including alcohol，reclining seats （躺椅），surround sound，and 3-D movies are all examples of that.And those upgrades come at a price，leading to more expensive tickets.
  "There's all that extra cost，and it's really important for theater owners and companies to make that experience as enjoyable as possible，" Patrick Corcoran，vice president of the National Association of Theatre Owners told Marketplace. "Because you're offering a superb experience—audience expectations are for the latest and greatest technology.Audiences are willing to pay more for a particular experience."
  
  
  （1）According to the passage，what makes movie tickets so expensive？

  
  A．The viewers are wealthier than before.
  B．The movie theatres offer popcorns，alcohol for free.
  C．Inflation has made the ticket price appear higher than before.
  D．The popular movies with famous stars deserve the high price.
  （2）We can learn from the passage that

  .
  A．Netflix is always a better choice for movie viewers than theatres
  B．with comfortable seats，theatres are more attractive than streaming services
  C．the viewers actually pay more for the updates of the movie theatres
  D．the theater owners and companies update the theaters to make the theatres famous
  （3）Which of the following would Patrick Corcoran most probably agree with？

  
  A．It's unwise for viewers to pay so much to watch a movie in the theater.
  B．The high price of a movie ticket is supposed to agree with a wonderful experience.
  C．It's a waste of money to provide the latest technology in the theatre.
  D．The viewers would prefer to sit at home on the sofas or in the beds.
  （4）What is the best title for the text？

  
  A．Behind the Increasing Price of Movie Tickets
  B．Technological Improvement on Movie Theatres
  C．The Competition between Movie Theatre and Streaming Services
  D．How to Save the Viewers' Wallets

• 5．The end of the library？ When was the last time you went to your local library？Last week？A month ago？A year ago？For many reasons，fewer people borrow books from libraries.With advances in technology，it is now possible for people to download and read whatever they like on electronic devices such as Kindles at any time.It has been argued that doing this is cheaper than buying hard-copy books. （1）

  
      Call me old-fashioned. （2）

  I like to have printed books lining my bookshelves.I love the smell of a new book and I enjoy leafing through paper pages.Besides，libraries offer a quiet place to sit，read，think and do research，and a real escape from the outside world.When I was at university，I often spent hours at the library and borrowed numerous journals，articles and other printed materials，as it was just too expensive to buy new books every week. （3）

  They're particularly suitable for students.
     （4）

  At home，my local library hosted actors，historians and other speakers during the town's yearly art and literature festival.Well-known authors are also invited to libraries to give speeches or lead discussions about their work.These events are a great way to attract people of all ages in the community. （5）

  
      There are still many fantastic ways to use libraries.Maybe we just need to try to recognise them.
  
  A.Libraries are free.
  B.I've never got into the e-book.
  C.I made friends with the school librarian.
  D.Libraries often organise a series of interesting activities.
  E.They're also a great way to encourage the use of libraries.
