二、完形填空（共20小題；每小題1分，滿分20分）

Going back to school after working for a long time has not been easy. What makes it extra / 16 is the Western liberal arts style of teaching. It emphasizes discussions， 17 is not compatible with my disposition and different from the Chinese style of teaching that I am used to.

Most of my classes are 18， about a dozen people. Most students who 19 speak up are from Englishspeaking countries. Being shy and especially aversive to confrontation， I am usually quiet. 20， Im not the only one. In my corner of 21 are students from Asia or other nonEnglish speaking areas.

People are 22 to speak up for different reasons. Not being able to speak fluent English， or at least worried about 23 oneself for grammatical errors， might be an important one， especially in an Englishtaught program.

For me， not being sure of whether I am making a 24 and fresh point is the biggest factor. Having survived and thrived in the examoriented， right / wronganswerfocused Chinese education system， I feel 25 not knowing the “correct answer”.

26， this insecurity turns into frustration. I feel 27 in my seat while listening to my classmates speak. On one hand， Im angry at myself for not being brave； at the same time I dismiss what the others are saying. But in truth， its just an excuse to 28 my feeling of inferiority over feeling like others know so much about so many things.

Of course， over time I learned the merits of this style of teaching and learning. The biggest 29 of being in a program with people from all over the world is that everybody brings in 30 new. Whats obvious to me， a Chinese， might not be so obvious to them. Sometimes its important to state the 31.

Still it is hard for me to 32 in class discussions. 33， just because someone does not like speaking up in public， doesnt mean one cannot think. Just because someone cannot think on their 34， doesnt mean they cant do good research. Just 35 someone is always speaking， doesnt mean they always make good points.

16. A. difficultB. easy

A

The college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy （自主性） and the development of adult identity. However， now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence， during which many of todays students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.

For previous generations， college was decisive break from parental control； guidance and support needed help from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades， however， continued connection with and dependence on family， thanks to cellphones， email and social media， have increased significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility， universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.

To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility， college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation. This process involves “trying on” new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually （在思維方面） and personally. While we should provide “safe spaces” within colleges， we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered on debate and questioning.

Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college community （群體） differs from the family， many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging. If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern， they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.endprint

Moreover， the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults： the response to being controlled by their elders. If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined （規(guī)定） and controlled， the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.

It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out， particularly when there are reasons to do so. Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency. What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescents desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world. Therefore， there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth.

Every college discussion about community values， social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and selfregulation， of the necessary tension between safety and selfdiscovery.

A. growth and responsibility

B. autonomy and responsibility

C. identity and responsibility

D. identity and autonomy

37. Whats the authors attitude toward continued parental guidance to college students？

B. To foster students intellectual and personal development.

C. To provide a safe world without tension for students.

D. To define and regulate students social behavior.

Dubais skyline already features the worlds tallest building and a fivestar hotel located on its own island， but the city is set to get yet another distinctive structure in 2020： the worlds first rotating skyscraper.

Designed by IsraeliItalian architect David Fisher， the residential and commercial property will reportedly stand 1，375 feet tall and feature 80 floors capable of rotating a full 360 degrees， allowing guests the opportunity to enjoy everchanging views of Dubai through its floortoceiling windows， according to LuxuryLaunches.com.

Voiceactivated technology will allow building residents and guests to aim their apartment views at their preferred skyscapers， too.

“Hotel guests will be given the unique opportunity to shape the building and choose their view， thus redefining completely luxury in the hospitality sector，” design firm Dynamic Architecture details on its official website.

“In doing so， they will also design the building and the skyline of the city.”

The tower will also be able to provide its own power utilizing wind turbines located between floors， as well as solar powers on the roof. Fisher even says the building will generate 10 times more energy than it uses， reports Inhabitant.endprint

A promotional YouTube video posted by Dynamic Architecture in 2010 suggests that， like the fivestar Burj Al Arab hotel， the tower will sit on a plot of reclaimed land off the coast of the city.

Inhabitant reports that individual apartments are expected to start at $30 million. Amenities will include swimming pools， elevated gardens， and an elevator that will bring the guests cars directly to their apartments.

Apart from its residences， Dynamic Architects categorizes the tower as a “future hotel” on its site， although they say they prefer to describe its lodgings as “wellness experiences”.

It is common for a Chinese person to have an English name. We have been told that Chinese pin yin is so difficult that our foreign friends may not able to pronounce our Chinese names correctly. For the sake of communicating convenience， we often prefer to use an English name when making friends with foreigners.

“My name is Li Sichen， but you can call me Lily.” I always say my English name when I introduce myself to foreigners. Lily is the name given to me by a foreign English teacher when I attended my first English class at the age of seven. Years later， I got my second English name “Stella” from a Chinese English teacher at college. I choose which name I use depending on my mood.endprint

Honestly， I am not a fan of my English names. Compared with my Chinese name， they are too plain and common. But I still used them when I studied in the UK.

However， recent news indicates a trend that a growing number of young Chinese students overseas are not willing to replace their Chinese names with English ones.

“Say my Name” is a video clip made by Chinese students at Columbia University that went viral on social networking websites last week. The video， in which Chinese students explain the cultural meanings and implication of their names， is a discontented response to recent actions at Columbia University that some Chinese nametags were taken off dormitory doors.

Traditionally， the image of Chinese people is known to be meek when faced with conflicts， especially for those living overseas. Being a minority abroad， they usually choose to keep low key and intentionally mute their voice as a way to avoid unnecessary troubles and to stay safe.

I remember there was a time when Chinese who had an English name were considered yangqi. Some Chinese would use an English name even in a Chinese environment. However， I think this will soon be outdated.

46. People prefer to use an English name when making friends with foreigners in order to .

A. pronounce correctly

B. communicate conveniently

C. communicate fluently

D. pronounce accurately

47. What is True about the writers name？

A. Lily is the name given to her by a Chinese English teacher.

B. Her second English name “Stella” was from her English teacher.

C. She prefers to use her English name Lily when making friends.

D. She calls herself Lily when she introduces herself to foreigners.

48. The underlined word ‘meek most likely means .

A. offensiveB. modest

C. aggressiveD. neutral

49. What is the authors opinion about “Some Chinese would use an English name even in a Chinese environment”？

A. She thinks this will soon be popular.

B. She thinks this will soon be accepted.

C. She thinks this will soon be out of date.

D. She thinks this will soon be avoided.

50. What can be inferred from the passage？

A. It is common for a Chinese person to have an English name.

B. All Chinese would use an English name in a Chinese environment.

C. Young Chinese students are willing to use their Chinese names.

D. Chinese names are likely to be used between foreigners in the future.endprint

五、書面表達（滿分25分）

請閱讀下面短文，并按照要求用英語寫一篇150詞左右的文章。

One of the most significant actions of your life is that you support someone when you help him or her through a challenging time. However， the best part is that when you support others， you are also supporting yourself. When you refuse to give support to others， it is usually a sign that you are also stopping giving support to yourself.

I was hooked on a story about Donna， which clearly showed the power of support.

Several months ago， Donna had just broken up with her boyfriend and had a difficult time accepting the loss. She refused to be accompanied and stayed at home alone， weeping all the time， which certainly was not helping.

Early one morning， Donna received a phone call with some terrible news： her best friends brother had been killed in an accident. Donna had known this friend， Mary， and her brother nearly her entire life， and the news was devastating. Donna overcame her sadness and got the car soon and drove to Marys house to be with her.

At the funeral and afterwards， she held Mary close while she cried endless tears， sat by her side as the waves of grief washed over Mary， and slept next to her to make sure she did not wake up alone. During that time she hardly felt any sadness in her heart.

Several weeks later， when life began to return to normal， Donna realized that the level of support she had given Mary far overtook any support she had offered herself during her dark time. She was able to use the support she had given her friend as a mirror for the support she needed.endprint

When you find yourself unable to support others， see if theres something within yourself that is not supporting. On the contrary， when you give complete support to others， itll mirror those places within you that require the same level of attention.

五、One possible version：

Donna had a difficult time when she broke up with her boyfriend. She gave Marry support. Meanwhile， she gained the support she needed.

Helping others is helping oneself. Helping others is not only helpful to others， but also beneficial to both of us. When we help others， we feel a sense of happiness from our inner heart. In addition， we can build a good relationship with others. For example， my deskmate asked me a puzzling Maths problem after class. I was confused at that time， but I tried my best. Eventually， I got the answer. Both of us were impressed with that answer when it appeared in the following examination.

The National Examination is approaching. Everyone would like to be admitted to our ideal university. Helping each other is a must when we face this difficult situation. Seldom can a man reach the summit of success alone. Reach out your helping hand， and you will achieve more than you can imagine. （162 words）
