e manager of international science at NASA(National Aeronautics and Space Administration), any height gain “ probably went away very quickly because fluid(體液 ) gradually got more and more in the discs between the bones in the spine.” Kelly also said reports that he had grown a full centimeters were exaggerated. “ I don’ t know where that came from. I did measure myself and it was an inch and a half, so maybe somebody just decided to just round up and write it as a fact,” he told reporters in his first extended media appearance since his rectum. The details are of great importance because a team of doctors is carefully researching all the differences between Kelly and his twin, who is also a spaceman but who stayed on Earth to take part in the study. The details of those ongoing studies are secret for now, as scientists will do further analysis and provide their findings for other researches before publishing them. The idea is to learn more about the harmful effects of spaceflight before NASA green lights any deeper space mission to Mars, journeys that would last a year or more. 32.

Both are clever young men, and both are anxious to master a good knowledge of the language. 36 : A can write short letters and read easy news but cannot read any passage in the classics(經典名著 ), while B can read here and there in some classics but cannot write short letters or read easy news. 37 ? I believe you would prefer to be like A rather than B. You should. I am sorry to find that among Chinese learners of English there seem to be more like B than like A. The trouble lies mainly in what is read. 38 ? I mean to ask what you take as your main reading material. Is it a novel or a volume(冊 ) of essays written more than a hundred years ago? If it is, my advice to you is to change it for something else. Your main reading material must have been written far less than a hundred years ago, a few weeks ago if possible, must have been written in simple English, and must have been written by an Englishman or an American. 39 . But I think I have to make some general remarks. Your main reading material needs not to be a literary masterpiece(文學著作 ). Nor need it be written by a famous author. A short passage in a magazine is better than a novel or some long essays. You must have noted that in the above I have talked about only what your main reading material should be. 40 , which may be a little more difficult, but which still had better not be a classic of more than a hundred years ago. A. Well, what do you read B. What you read must be very easy for you C. When you read a short story, you may read it only for pleasure D. But they got very different results E. You should also read something else F. Which of your two friends would you prefer to be like G. I am not going to give a list of books here 第三部分 英語知識運用(共三節(jié),滿分 45 分) 第一節(jié) 完形填空 (共 20 小題:每小題 分,滿分 30 分 ) 閱讀下面短文,從短文后各題所給的四個選項 (A、 B、 C 和 D)中,選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。 My first stop was Paris. Even though Paris is quite big, I decided to 41 it on foot in order to experience the romantic and artistic(藝術的 ) Paris atmosphere as much as possible. Since my hotel was in Montmartre, the north of Paris, I started my city 42 from that area. In Paris, there were plenty of small shops of art works, chocolate and bars which were well 43 in an artistic style. After walking for an hour and half, I finally reached the worldwide wellknown Eiffel Tower. 44 , when I saw it in reality for the first time, it didn39。t look as breathtaking as I had 45 . It looked more like an ugly thing made of brown rotted irons(銹鐵 ). I only took some pictures and then 46 . While I was sitting on a bench to rest, an old man’ s voice attracted my 47 , “ Bonjour!” (‘ Hi’ in English) when I turned around, I found the 48 came from an elderly Fren
