   The Tri Service General Hospital yesterday held a ceremony for 35 children who completed a hospital-sponsored weight-loss program during their summer vacation.

   The students lost an average of 2.34 kilograms during the past two months, and the student who lost the most, the nine-year-old Howard Chang, shed more than six kilograms.

“My weight dropped to 48.3 from 54.4 kilograms, and my classmates won't be able to call me ‘porker’ anymore,” Chang said happily.

“Howard calculated the calories of everything he ate during his participation in the program,” his mother said.

“He would deliberate before eating even a slice of pizza because it has 350 calories,” the mother said.

When asked what he most wanted to do following the accomplishment, Chang replied, “Eat at McDonald's.”

1. What is the problem common to the children who participated in the program?

2. What do you think the word “shed” means in this passage?

3. Why is Howard Chang specifically mentioned in the passage?

一、簡答題(10%)

 說明︰1. 閱讀下面這篇文章，然後簡答下列問題。答案必須寫在「答案卷」上。

            2. 請依序作答，並標明題號。答案應簡明扼要，不必用完整句，最多三個英文

               單詞(words)。每題2分，共10分。注意：請勿抄下整句或整行，否則不予計分。

        Every time we watch apes in their cages we are startled by their manlike behavior.  The monkey house has a strange fascination.  The visitors would be even more startled if they were fully aware of all the existing similarities between them and these animals.  These include not only external behavior, but also all the organs, the whole skeleton, every single bone and tooth.  The brain of a chimpanzee has the same internal structure and on its surface the same pattern of folds as the human brain, which, however, is three times as large.  The way the mother chimpanzee nurses its young is not unlike that of the human mother.  These and thousands of other features point to a blood relationship in the truest sense of the word.  This can be clearly demonstrated by comparing the genes of chimpanzees and those of humans: the difference between them is just about 2 percent.

  1. Write down two physical similarities between humans and apes.

  2. Where is the monkey house most probably located?

  3. What is the main difference between a chimpanzee’s brain and a human’s?

  4. What is the most precise way to prove a close blood relationship between humans and chimpanzees?

  5. What activity shows that a mother chimpanzee and a human mother are very similar to each other?

 2.請依序作答，並標明題號。答案應簡明扼要，只寫重要詞彙(key words)，約二至三個英文單詞(words)。每題2分，共10分。注意：請勿抄下整句或整行，否則不予計分。

       South America is a place of striking beauty and wonder. The heart of this continent is the Amazon Rainforest, a vast paradise watered by one of the world’s greatest rivers. Because of the tremendous amount of oxygen produced in this area, it has been called the “lungs of the earth.”

       A team of scientists, teachers, and students, the AmazonQuest team, recently explored some of the wonders of the Amazon Rainforest. They canoed down rivers, hiked along muddy trails, and climbed into the forest to explore and learn. The following is a report by one of the team members:

       “I watched a small piece of the Amazon Rainforest disappear today. This morning, two men from the village of Roaboia led us into the forest. For 20 minutes, we walked along a path past tall weeds, banana trees, and low brush. Our destination was a 150-foot tall capirana tree, by far the biggest tree around. It would take 10 people holding hands to surround the base of its trunk.

       The men took out an axe and an electric saw and started cutting into the tree’s silky smooth skin. As beautiful as they are, people here chop down capirana trees for their wood. With a loud roar, the saw chewed into the 150-year old tree. Then, in about 30 minutes after the cutting began, the giant tree crashed down violently and shook the ground under our feet.

       This, of course, is just one of the millions of trees that fall in the Amazon each year. Brazil’s Environmental Ministry estimates that in 1970, 99 percent of the original Amazon Rainforest remained, but in 2000, only 85 percent. It is estimated that more than 33 million acres of Amazonian Rainforest disappear every year. That means that 64 acres of the rainforest is lost every minute.”

(1) Which place is called “the lungs of the earth”?

(2) What kinds of people are on the AmazonQuest team?

(3) How long did it take the two men to cut down the giant capirana tree?

(4) Between 1970 and 2000, what percentage of the original Amazon Rainforest was cut down?

(5) According to this report, about how many acres of the Amazon Rainforest are lost every second?
