一、閱讀理解（共40分）

• 1．Throughout the history of music education，many music educators have adopted technology in the classroom．Alice Keith and D．C．Boyle were said to be the first music educators in the US to use the radio for teaching music．Another advocate who promoted the use of technology was Marguerite V．Hood，born on March 14，1903 in Drayton，North Dakota．Hood graduated high school early，at the age of sixteen．She then attended Jamestown College，where she graduated with degrees in romance languages and music．
  Hood's professional career led her to Montana in 1923．In 1930，Hood became Montana's second state music supervisor（監督員）．During Hood's teaching career，the radio was used as an educational tool．Montana received poor radio reception because of the mountain，so Hood created local radio station broadcast because radios were cost effective．Hood began the music education radio broadcast project，Montana School of the Air，in 1937．These broadcast aired weekly on four radio stations and received positive reviews because they allowed students to be reached all over the USA．
  The National Broadcasting Company played a major role in music education．It would broadcast musical examples for students in public school．Walter Damrosch directed the radio program，Music Appreciation Hour．Two other popular music broadcast programs were Alice in Orchestralia and the Standard Symphony Hour．These broadcasts were a creative teaching approach which inspirited active listening and music appreciation．Before the birth of radio，listening to music was limited to live performances and the skill of the teacher to play music．
  The influence of the radio in the 1930s can similarly be compared to some of today's technology，such as iPods and computers．Technology has become much more widely available in the classroom since the 1930s．Today，children have access to many musical devices（設備） and options that weren't available in the 1930s．In reality，technology has been used in music classrooms throughout the US with the intent to improve the quality of music education for students．

• 3．Perhaps you've had to put up with a moody，uncooperative teenager，or you may well have been one yourself.A new study suggests that dogs go through a similar stage of stubbornness and disobedience（不順從）when they hit adolescence at about eight months old.
     Looking at the behaviour of a total of 378 canines（犬），researchers found that the animals were more obedient and more responsive either side of that eight-month mark- but only when it came to their owners，not to less familiar trainers.
     So not only do dogs appear to have a difficult adolescence just like we do，they also share the frustration that we often feel towards our parents or caregivers when we hit our teenage years.That has big implications for long-term canine care and sheltering.
     "This is a very important time in a dog's life，" says animal behaviour researcher Lucy Asher，from Newcastle University in the UK. "This is when dogs are often rehomed because they are no longer a cute little puppy and suddenly，their owners find they are more challenging and they can no longer control them or train them." "But as with human teenage children，owners need to be aware that their dog is going through a special stage and it will pass."
     In one experiment with 93 Labrador retrievers（狗），golden retrievers and their cross breeds（雜交品種），the dogs at eight months old were found to take longer and be loather to respond to a "sit" command given by their caregiver than they were when just five months old.The eight-month-olds didn't show the same stubbornness when the command was given by a stranger，though.
     The researchers found further evidence of this effect in survey data gathered on 285 Labradors，golden retrievers，German shepherds and their cross breeds.Dog owners and trainers less familiar with the dogs were asked to evaluate the animals 'trainability' by answering questions on obedience and how quickly commands were responded to.
     Again，the caregivers ranked their dogs as less obedient at eight months old compared with five months old or 12 months old.The trainers reported that obedience increased between the ages of five months and eight months.
  
  （1）What is the function of the first sentence in the first paragraph？

  
  A．To raise a problem of teenagers.
  B．To lead to the main topic of the passage.
  C．To give the background information of the passage.
  D．To generalize the whole passage.
  （2）What is true according to the passage？

  
  A．Dog's special stage is permanent.
  B．Dogs are more obedient at 5 months old compared with 12 months old.
  C．Dogs of 8 months tend to listen to a stranger only.
  D．Dogs' owners may find it more challenging to control the dogs of 8 months.
  （3）Which one can replace the underlined word in the fifth paragraph？

  
  A．more obedient
  B．more likely
  C．more satisfied
  D．more unwilling
  （4）Which can be a suitable title for the text？

  
  A．Dog's obedience.
  B．Dog's stubbornness.
  C．Dog's adolescence.
  D．Dog's trainability.

• 4．Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are，like a nearby port or river．People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade．New York City，for example，is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River．Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million．But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time．Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight．In 1896，Dawson，Canada，was unmapped wilderness（荒野）．But gold was discovered there in 1897，and two years later，it was one of the largest cities in the West，with a population of 30，000．
     Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris．People went there for gold．They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers．The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning．An avalanche（雪崩） once closed the path，killing 63 people．For many who made it to Dawson，however，the rewards were worth the difficult trip．Of the first 20，000 people who dug for gold，4，000 got rich．About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives．
     But no matter how rich they were，Dawson was never comfortable．Necessities like food and wood were very expensive．But soon，the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found．The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down，and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska，they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come．Today，people still come and go-to see where the Canadian gold rush happened．Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City-its present population is 762．
  
  （1）What attracted the early settlers to New York City？

  
  A．Its business culture．
  B．Its small population．
  C．Its geographical position．
  D．Its favourable climate．
  （2）What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson？

  
  A．Two-thirds of them stayed there．
  B．One out of five people got rich．
  C．Almost everyone gave up．
  D．Half of them died．
  （3）What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson？

  
  A．They found the city too crowded．
  B．They wanted to try their luck elsewhere．
  C．They were unable to stand the winter．
  D．They were short of food．
  （4）What is the text mainly about？

  
  A．The rise and fall of a city．
  B．The gold rush in Canada．
  C．Journeys into the wilderness．
  D．Tourism in Dawson．

• 5．Is Fresh Air Really Good for You？
  We all grew up hearing people tell us to "go out and get some fresh air．" （1）

  According to recent studies，the answer is a big YES，if the air quality in your camping area is good．
     （2）

  If the air you're breathing is clean-which it would be if you're away from the smog of cities-then the air is filled with life-giving，energizing oxygen．If you exercise out of doors，your body will learn to breathe more deeply，allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles（肌肉）and your brain．
     Recently，people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing（治療）．（3）

  In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery（恢復）．It turns out that just looking at green，growing things can reduce stress，lower blood pressure，and make people happy．Greenery is good for us．Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead．（4）

  It gives us a great feeling of peace．
     （5）

  While the sun's rays can age and harm our skin，they also give us Vitamin D．To make sure you get enough Vitamin D-but still protect your skin-put on sunscreen right as you head outside．It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working，and that's plenty of time for your skin to take in a day's worth of Vitamin D．
  
  A．Fresh air cleans our lungs．
  B．So what are you waiting for？
  C．Being in nature refreshes us．
  D．Another advantage of getting fresh air is sunlight．
  E．But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said？
  F．Just as importantly，we tend to connect fresh air with health care．
  G．All across the country，recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens．
