Passage Three
    One winter evening Mr. Blake was driving in his car along an isolated country road. He had been to New York, in which he had withdrawn 10,000 dollars from the bank.
    He was then going back home with the money, which he had put in his pocket. At the loneliest part of the road a middle-aged man in poor clothes stopped him and asked for a lift. Mr. Blake told him to get into the car and continued on his way. As he talked to the man he learned that he had been in prison for robbery and had escaped out of prison three days ago. Mr. Blake was very worried at the thought of the 10,000 dollars in his pocket.
    Suddenly he saw a police-car and had a clever idea. He had just reached a small town where the speed limit was 40 miles an hour. He pressed down the accelerator and drove the car as fast as it would go. He looked back and saw the police-car had seen this and had begun to chase him. After a mile or so the police-car overtook him and ordered him to stop.
    Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
    32.Where did the story happen?
    33.Who was the middle-aged man?
    34.How fast could a car drive in the small town mentioned?
    35.Why did Mr. Blake drive his car as fast as it could go?

These courses are called Intensive English Language Programs and(45) they are the most common type of course taken by overseas students.
    In addition to language tuition, Intensive English Language Programs give students (46) the chance to get to know the school where they will be studying, and become more familiar with the American academic environment.
    Part ⅣReading Comprehension(Reading in Depth)
    Section A
    47. F 此處需填入一個動詞原形,可選范圍縮小到A、C、F、H、M和N,冒號后面的內容,顯然是在對marginal land進行定義,故答案為F。
    48. B 此處需要填入一個名詞或動名詞,可選范圍縮小到A、B、C、I、J、K、M和N,根據(jù)前半句the last to be planted under good conditions marginal land肯定是首先要放棄的,故正確答案為B。

    53. N 此處需要填入一個名詞,根據(jù)下文cattle對marginal land的破壞可確定正確答案為N。
    54. D 此處需要填入一個形容詞,根據(jù)下文的描述可知,這里是指一個有效的方法,因此正確答案為D。
