遠東英文 BOOK I Lesson 5 – Lesson 8 字彙複習 ＋ （文法）名詞 (I) 閱讀測驗 < 1> Everywhere you look there are signs: in shop windows, in the street, in offices, outside churches. Signs can be very funny. For instance, in a New York restaurant window there was a sign which read, 'Open seven days a week (except Mondays)'. Here is another example of a funny sign, this time on the door of a repair shop, 'We can repair anything.' Written below that were the following words, 'Please knock on the door - the doorbell is broken.' Sometimes signs are funny because the English is wrong, giving the sign another meaning. For example, in an air ticket office in Copenhagen, Denmark, there was a sign which read, 'We take your luggage and send it in all directions.' Some signs are supposed to be funny because they get the message across better. At a zoo in Australia, there is a sign which reads, 'Visitors who throw things at the crocodiles will be asked to go in and get them.' This sign is funny as well as practical. While some signs are funny, others are just silly. On a highway in Kenya there is a sign which reads, 'No entry when this sign is underwater.' Or what would you think if you came across a poster like this one? 'Are you an adult that cannot read? If so, we can help.' What can we learn from these funny signs? You have to be careful when using English for signs. First, the sign may be confusing. Second, the sign might have an entirely different meaning. ( ) 1. Sometimes a sign can be funny because _______.

His men thought this was dangerous, and asked him to take some of them along. But Robin would not listen. When Robin entered the church, he was recognized by a rich merchant. The merchant warned the Sheriff of Nottingham that the King's enemy was here, and the city gates were shut. The Sheriff's soldiers came. Robin killed four of them before they captured him. When they heard about Robin's capture, his men were worried. But only Little John would go to Nottingham to try and rescue Robin. On the way, he met a King's soldier. The man was traveling to Nottingham to take Robin back to London, where the King would have him killed. Little John killed the man, took his clothes, and went to Nottingham. He told the Sheriff he had come to take Robin Hood to London. Seeing Little John's size, the Sheriff did not fear Robin's escape from this "soldier", and let them go. Little John tied Robin to a horse, and they left Nottingham. Outside the city walls, Little John freed Robin, and changed out of the soldier's clothes.

The cars and trucks they are driving crash into wild animals and pets that have wandered onto a road. While this situation is bad for drivers, it's getting worse and worse for the animals. More than 65,000 deer were killed in Michigan in 2002. On a two-mile part of Highway 441 in Florida, 3,356 dead animals were found in one year. These included 1,291 snakes, 1,333 frogs, 374 turtles, 265 birds, 72 mammals, 29 alligators, and 1 unlucky lizard. When drivers are killed by crashing into deer, in most cases the driver slows down for one deer, then speeds up and hits another. In the fall, young deer are as big as their mothers. But they are still young, and still follow their mothers. Females often have two fawns, so drivers who see one deer should slow down and look for more. For every dead animal lying on the road, three or four more die unseen. Badly injured, they crawl off and die away from the road. In fact, there is no way of knowing how many animals get hit every day by vehicles. ( ) 1. What is this passage mainly about? (A) The various dangers of driving in America. (B) The causes of road accidents in America. (C) North American animals and their habits. (D) Animals getting killed on American roads. ( ) 2. We know from the passage that _______.

How many dead frogs were found on part of Highway 441 in one year? (A) 3,356. (B) 2,002. (C) 1,333. (D) 1,291. ( ) 4. The word "fawns" in the second paragraph probably means _______. (A) accidents (B) mothers (C) car drivers (D) baby deer ( ) 5. Why is it impossible to know exactly how many animals are killed by vehicles? (A) Not all animals die on the roads. (B) There are too many of them to count. (C) The roads are crowded with cars. (D) Some animals are too small to see. <4> Most people, when cooking a new dish, follow a recipe (食譜). But have you ever wondered how top chefs (主廚) cook? How do they make so many amazing dishes? Do they remember lots of recipes that took them years to learn? In fact, they don't need to. Of course, there are famous recipes that every chef learns. But a good chef can work without them because he understands the basics of cooking. A good chef knows what ingredients are made of and how they react when cooked. In short, he understands the science of cooking. And so can you. After you learn the science of frying, roasting, grilling, braising, and so on, all you need to know is what type of meat you are cooking. Then you can decide which method is best. With fruits and vegetables, if you know how they react to heat, acid (酸), oil, water, sugar and salt, you know enough to make a thousand different dishes. So, a good understanding of your ingredients will open new doors in cooking. These doors will always be closed for someone who only uses recipes. Learn the methods and processes of food science, and you too can become a creative cook and win the admiration of your family and friends. ( ) 1. This passage does NOT tell us how _______. (A) chefs do their work (B) chefs make a good salad (C) to become more popular (D) to improve your cooking ( ) 2. What does the writer of the passage say about good chefs?

(A) can open the door to better cooking (B) will find it hard to make new friends (C) cannot learn to be creative with food (D) only learn the basics of food science <5> When I was a child, my parents started a new business. They didn't have much time to take care of my sister, my brother, and me. They were busy working and spent a lot of time in other countries. Whenever they were away, they sent us to our grandfather's house. Grandpa was a fruit farmer who lived on the side of a mountain. We loved staying at his home because the air was so fresh and the scenery so beautiful. There was no air or noise pollution. We could smell the flowers and the grass when we breathed. When we got up in the morning, we could hear the birds and insects all around. There was a yard in front of Grandpa's house. We played games and ran around the yard. There were also many fruit trees and a small river not far away. You could see fish and tiny shrimps in the clear mountain water. We liked to take our shoes and socks off and play in the cool river. We made up games to play whenever we were at Grandpa's house. I remember one time we had recently seen a movie about Robin Hood. He was a hero who robbed the rich and helped the poor. We acted in our own Robin Hood story, and I played Robin, of course. That is one of the best among hundreds of happy memories of my childhood. ( ) 1.
