一、閱讀理解

• 1．I am an ordinary 17-year-old girl.I go to school，chat to my friends and play my guitar.I don't have much in my mind.At least，that's what most people thjye.aik.In fact，life changed drastically （巨大地） for me and my family in the summer of 2011，when I was 10.It was a beautiful summer's day when my dad had his accident.He had gone out for a bike ride and seemed to be taking a lot longer than usual.When Mum called him to check if everything was all right，a nurse answered the phone.I was inside the house and could hear her speaking to someone in the garden.As I looked out of the door.
     I knew something terrible had happened.She looked stricken（受困 擾的） and I stood worriedly in the doorway until she hung up and told me Dad was in hospital.He had been involved in a road accident and had a severe injury.On that beautiful day，we didn't have many details about what was going on because the nurse couldn't disclose a lot through the phone and the unknown was the scariest thing.I had no idea whether my dad was going to live.My mum went alone to the hospital and I stayed at my grandparents' house.I was too shaken to do anything，so I just sat quietly and hoped that everything would be OK.I don't have any siblings （兄弟姐妹），so Mum and I were the only ones in the house for the eight months when Dad was in hospjye.aial.It seemed empty and quiet especially as Mum was sometimes at work when I got back from school.Before Dad went into hospital there had always been someone there asking me about my day and helping me with homework.Now there wasn't.I became more independent and tried to take care of myself as much as possible.When I think about my life，I split （分成） it into before and after the accident because I feel like a very different，more mature person than the one I was before.Most people's childhood fades slowly into adolescence and then adult life，but mine ended abruptly （突然地）.I was forced to grow up.

• 2．Like clockwork，nearly every fourth February includes one extra day.February 29th，also known as Leap Day，isn't exactly a holiday.Instead，it's there to make your calendar agree with the earth's rotation （旋轉） around the sun.
     According to history，Roman emperor Julius Caesar is the "father" of Leap Year.Until he came along，people had used a 355-day calendar，which was 10.25 days shorter than the solar year.Roman officials were supposed to add an extra month every now and then to keep the seasons exactly where they should be.But that didn't work out all that well.When special occasions started shifting into different seasons around 45 BCE，Caesar asked experts for advice and then announced that the empire should use a 12-month，365-day calendar，which he named after himself.Caesar's Julian calendar included a Leap Day every four years.
  Though Leap Day makes your calendar match the earth's rotation around the sun，it causes a different kind of problem for leapsters.When should these February 29th babies celebrate their birthdays during the other three-quarters of their lives？Some party on February 28th，while others prefer a two-day celebration that lasts from the last day of February to the first day of March.
     Leap Day can be a nuisance in the legal system.In 2006，a court in USA was deciding whether criminal John Melo could be set free two days early since his 10-year sentence included two Leap Days.In the case，the judge decided that since the man was sentenced to prison for years，not days.Leap Day didn't make a bit of difference.
     Though a few timekeepers have pushed for calendars that don't include Leap Day，almost all experts and societies agree that Leap Day is the best method to keep the calendar working well.
  
  （1）Why was Leap Day created？

  
  A．To celebrate special occasions.
  B．To honor Emperor Julius Caesar.
  C．To keep pace with the solar year.
  D．To show all the seasons.
  （2）What is the problem with the birthday celebration of February 29th babies？

  
  A．It is sometimes delayed.
  B．It lasts at least two days.
  C．It has to be held every other year.
  D．It may take place on different dates.
  （3）What does the underlined word "nuisance" in Paragraph 4 mean？

  
  A．Joke.
  B．Topic.
  C．Trouble.
  D．Mistake.
  （4）What is the attitude of most experts towards Leap Day？

  
  A．Critical.
  B．Supportive.
  C．Doubtful
  D．Cautious.

• 4．The Internet is full of headlines that grab your attention with buzzwords （流行詞）．But often when we click through，we find the content hardly delivers and it wastes our time．We close the page，feeling we've been cheated．These types of headlines are called "click bait"．
      A headline on Businesslnsider．com reads： "This phrase will make you seem more polite"．First，when you click through，you find another headline： "Four words to seem more polite．" Then，on reading the article，you find it's actually an essay about sympathy．And what are the four words？They're "Wow，that sounds hard．" On some video websites，you might encounter headlines such as "Here's what happens when six puppies visited a campus"．Turns out it's just some uneventful dog footage （鏡頭）．
     Nowadays，with the popularity of social media，many news outlets tweet （推送） click bait links to their stories．These tweets take advantage of the curiosity gap or attempt to draw the reader into a story using a question in the headline．These click bait headlines are so annoying that someone is attempting to save people time by exposing news outlet click bait through social media．The Twitter account @SavedYouAClick，run by Jake Beckman，is one such example．
     Beckman's method is to grab tweets linking to a story and retweet them with a click-saving comment．For example，CNET tweeted "So iOS 8 appears to be jailbreakable but…"，with a link to its coverage of Apple's product announcements．Beckman retweeted it with this comment attached： "…it hasn't been jailbroken yet．"
     Since founding the account，Beckman's Twitter experiment has brought him more than 131，000 followers．Beckman said that @SavedYouAClick is…"just my way of trying to help the Internet be less temble．" Asked about his goal，he said， "I'd love to see publishers think about the experience of their readers first．I think there's an enormous opportunity for publishers to provide readers with informative updates that include links so you can click through and read more．
  
  （1）The article on Businesslnsider．com turns out to be

  ．
  A．useful suggestions on politeness
  B．an essay about another topic
  C．an article hard to understand
  D．a link to a video website
  （2）Why are readers often cheated by tricky headlines？

  
  A．Social media has become more popular．
  B．Readers have questions to be solved．
  C．Such headlines are fairly attractive．
  D．There're always stories behind them．
  （3）Beckman attached his comment to CNET's tweet to

  ．
  A．criticize CNET
  B．save readers' time
  C．advertise apple's new product
  D．tell readers something about iOS 8
  （4）In the last paragraph，Beckman appeals that

  ．

  B．readers think about their needs before reading
  C．publishers provide more information for readers
