第 18 题： Reading Comprehension:
The days of elderly womendoing nothing b ut cooking huge meals on holidays are gone.
Enter the Red Hat Society — a group holding the belief that old ladies should have
fun.
"My grandmothers didn't do anything but keep house and serve everybody. They were
programmed to do that," said Emily Cornette, head of a chapter of the 7-year-old
Red Hat Society.
While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, womenhave sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age. But the generation now turning 50 is the
baby boomers ( 生育高峰期出生的人 ), and the same people who refused their parents'
way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old.
If you take into consideration feminism ( 女权主义 ), a bit of spare money, and better
health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable ( 必然的 ). In
this society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple ( 紫色的 ) clothes, while the
women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing.
"The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: 'When I
am an old woman, I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesn't go,'" said Ellen Cooper, who founded the Red Hat Society in 1998. When the ladies started to wear
the red hats, they attracted lots of attention.
"The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone
else," Cooper said. "Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for
themselves." This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing
anything useful. "We're a ladies' play group. It couldn't be simpler," added Cooper's
assistant Joe Heywood.

第 19 题： Reading Comprehension:
Taiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely clever act of
stealing or an even cleverer cheat ( 诈骗 ).Either way, it could be the perfect crime ( 犯罪 ), because the criminals are birds — homing pigeons!
The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car. if you want the car back, pay up then. The car owner is directed to a park, told where to find
a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside. Carrying the
money in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off.
There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay at-home car thief, however, may in fact be the work
of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind one that avoids ( 避免 ) not only
collecting money but going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer
Chen says that the criminal probably has played a double trick, he gets money for
things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else
do it and then waits for the car-owner to place an ad ( 启示 ) in the newspaper asking
for help.
The theory is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been
returned. Also, the amount of money demanded— under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars — seems too little for a car worth many times more.
Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story.
And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal.
"We have more important things to do," he said.
1小题>

第 20 题： Reading Comprehension:
Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old
daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked
around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that
offered the teenager's intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe.
"The safety issue is a big one," says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn't
alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and
the same question was always asked, what about crime? But when college officials
always gave the same answer—"That's not a problem here," Mahoney began to feel
uneasy.
"No crime whatsoever?" comments Mahoney today. "I just don't buy it." Nor should
he. in 1999 the U.S. Department of Education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious
crimes on or around our campuses. "Parents need to understand that times have changed
since t hey went to college,"says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus.
"Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation."
But getting accurate information isn't easy. Colleges must report crime statistics
by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking
dangerous. "The truth may not always be obvious," warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc., the nation's leading campus safety watchdog group.
To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts
around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.

第 21 题： Reading Comprehension:
The house was quiet at 5 am and Tim's mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big
freezer broke the quiet. He'd dreamt of the cave last night. The purring of the
freezer had been the sea.
Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early
for breakfast. He'd eat after he'd been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea.
He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else?
Sandwiches-but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for
sandwiches, she'd want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some
biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table:
Gone to Michael's. Back tonight. Tim.
The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn't up. Even
the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet.
The sandhills still breathed heat from yesterday's sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.
The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea.
The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.
Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beach was still
empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky. He could see the cave now, even darker
in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed
away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn't go in
all the way.
1小题>
