Some people want to be shot into space after their death, others want to lie deep under the sea. But most people want to go into the freezer(冷藏庫)e are believers in cryogenics(低温冷凍學).

Now some diseases can’t be cured, but they may be cured sometime in the future. So some people hope that their bodies can be frozen after they die. When a cure is found, warm up his or her body, bring it back to life and take the cure. Once the body is frozen, it is kept in liquid nitrogen(液態氮) at a temperature of 328 degrees below zero.

Now around a thousand people are going to take cryogenic treatment(處理), though most scientists say it won’t work. If we freeze huge creatures(生物) like humans, every one of their cells(細胞) will be broken. Can they be brought back to life in the future?

In general，laws for children are a good thing.

One hundred years ago in industrial countries, children worked 18 hours a day in a factory at age seven. The factory owner could beat a child who fell asleep or was not fast enough. Both parents and teachers could do the same.

Today, there are many laws about children all over the world. Some people think children must obey rules or they should be punished，others do not agree. The Inuits or Eskimos in Alaska almost never punish their children. The parents don’t hit them. If the children go too far，the parents punish them by making fun of them.

Children in other parts of the world are not as lucky as Eskimo children. American parents can spank(打……臀部) their children at home，but a teacher cannot hit a child in a public school. This is also true in Germany. In contrast(對比), it is against the law for anyone to hit a child in Sweden. Swedish parents cannot spank their children. The children also have a special government official who works for their rights. There is even a plan for children to divorce from their parents though this is not a law yet! 根據短文內容回答下列各問題。

1. How were children treated in industrial countries 100years ago?

________________________________________.

2. What does the author mean by “go too far?”

【參考答案】

通常而言，為兒童制定法律是件好事。100多年前，在工業國家，7歲大的孩子在工廠一天要工作18小時，工廠的老闆可以打小孩，家長和老師們也可以這樣做。今天世界上有很多保護兒童的法律。有些人認為兒童應該遵紀守法，否則就要受到懲罰。其他人則不同，愛斯基摩人從不懲罰兒童。如果孩子們做得太過份了，父母親用開玩笑的方式來懲罰他們。在其他地方則不同，美國的家長可以在家打孩子的屁股，但老師不能在學校打學生。德國跟美國一樣。但在瑞士任何人都不能打孩子，並有專門的政府部門來維護孩子們的權利。

1. They were treated very badly.

2. Do something too much.

3. No, he can’t.

4. None can do that.

5. A plan for ending the children’s relationship with their parents.

“Can I catch the 10:35 train to London?” the man asked. He looked worried.

The old porter looked at him for a few seconds and said, “Well, sir. I’d like to help you, but I can’t answer your question because I don’t know how fast you can run.” Then he explained to the man, “The 10:35 train to London left five minutes ago. Can you run fast enough to catch it?”

【答案與解析】

通讀全文, 故事講述的是車站搬運工John Smith有一天在火車站同一名旅客間的一段對話，故事很幽默。

第一個問題是一個細節題，第1段清楚地説明了他的工作：John Smith was an old porter。porter的意思的“(車站、碼頭) 的搬運工人”，如果考生不認識這個詞，也可以由He worked at the station. Every day he was busy carrying heavy things for the people.這兩句話瞭解他的`工作性質。因此第一個問題的回答：John’s job was to carry heavy things for the people at station. / He was a porter.

第二個問題是一個推理題，問題:這名旅客要去哪裏。由文中這句旅客的問話Can I catch the 10:35 train to London?很容易推斷出他要去倫敦。

第三個問題仍要求考生推理得出答案，問題：為什麼此人看上去很急的樣子朝火車趕去。很顯然是因為他在趕火車。對why提問要用because進行回答，第三個問題的回答是Because he wanted to catch the 10:35 train to London.

第四個問題是推理題, 問的是：這名旅客趕到火車站的時間。由下文John的回答The 10:35 train to London left five minutes ago可知火車已開走，這名旅客趕到的時間是大約10: 40，因此第四題的回答是It was about10：40 (twenty to eleven) 。第五個問題是歸納題, 考查考生對文章大意的理解。這個問題的回答實際上就是全文的中心句, 在第一自然段裏已做了介紹。He was careful with his work. He was kind to everyone and always ready to help others.
