　　Booking Online and Saving the Eavironment

　　When you are loking to book a holiday, it is unlikely that you will think about how

　　green your booking decision is, but it is something that you should think about. By“green"

　　we mean the impact on the envronment.

　　When looking to book a holiday, you will probably find that you are faced with two

　　main decisions. The first is to go into a travel agency, pick up brochures (宣傳冊), read

　　through them and go back with just one and book with the travel agents directly or over the

　　phone. The second is to go onto the Intemet.

　　The Intemet holds many advantages over the travel agencies. The main one is

　　convenience. You can go online to look at holidays at any time of the day. The travel agents,

　　however, are usually very busy at times when people can actually go, i.e. lunch hours or at the

　　weekend. You could use the telephone, but you wouldn't be able to see the pictures or the

　　details of the holidays, so you would probably be sent a brochure anyway.

　　There are websites on the Internet that make shopping for bholiday deals much easier.

　　These websites are known as price comparison websites. They search through lots of different

　　tour operators, and the results are displayed on one page, from which you can choose.

　　繭語(一)試題第1而(g而)

　　Compared with the travel agencies, booking online is greener. The piles of brochures are

　　definitely not green, and the amount of unncessary paper used can't be good for the

　　environment. In the days of the Intemnet, there is really no need for such a large amount of

　　paper to be wasted. So booking online will not only save you time and efort, it will do a ltle

　　bit towards saving the environment, too!

　　第二部分:閱讀選擇(第11~15題，每題2分，共10分)

　　閱讀下面短文，請從短文后所給各題的4個選項(A、B、C、D)中選出1個最佳

　　選項，并在答題卡相應位置上將該項涂黑。

　　Urban Gardening

　　Urban gardening refers to the practice of planting a garden in the city. Apartments, town

　　homes, and other areas with lttle or no land are being used for gardening. This method of

　　gardening is becoming more common as the amount of land for gardening in cities is

　　becoming smaller and smaller.

　　Containers, hanging baskets and raised beds are examples of items people use to create a

　　garden in a confined space. Some cities also offer a shared community garden for people who

　　have no Ioom to grow plants at bhome.

　　Many types of plants can be grown in containers and baskets. Tomatoes and peppers, for

　　instance, can grow in containers on windowsills (窗臺). Plants grown on a windowsill should

　　usually receive at least six to eight hours of sunlight daily. Herbs are often grown in

　　containers or baskets in the kitchen. They do not require much space and can be bhandy for

　　cooking.

　　People who want to grow more plants may use raised beds which are usually made of

　　wood pieces and flld with a mixture of soil and fertilizers. They can be built on top of any

　　hard surface, including roof tops. People like them because the beds ofen cost much less than

　　most other methods of gardening.

　　Community gardening could be an option for anyone who does not have space for a

　　garden at home. Most cities that offer this will rent a small plot of land to someone for a fee,

　　or allow them to use it ftee of charge. Instead of dividing the land into separate plots, some

　　cities allow everyone in the neighborhood to share and work on the same land. This method

　　could be beneficial for people in the neighbothood who share the passion for growing things.

　　Lack of Sleep Is Dangerous

　　Do you know that if you miss out too much sleep you will die? It's true! If you stay

　　awake for a long. long time, your brain and body will break down.

　　Gardner.

　　doctor.

　　What happened?_ 27_ Then his brain started to lose sense. On day 4, he thought a

　　street sign was really a person. On day 6, he began to speak very slowly. On day 9, he

　　couldn't finish sentences. On day 10, Randy thought he saw a forest in the next

　　room._ 28__ Eventually, after he'd broken the world record, Randy was told to go to sleep.

　　Experiments that keep people awake for dangerously long periods are always stopped before

　　the patients break down.

　　Rats, however, aren't so well cared for._ 29. That's sooner than if they'd been

　　allowed to sleep but were given no food. They get really thin. But that's not because they stop

　　eating- -quite the opposite. Even though these rats are eating food, their bodies can't process

　　it in the normal way. On top of that, their ltte bodies lose more heat than normal, which

　　makes them weak. This means that they need more food to stay at a healthy

　　temperature._ 30

　　B. Normally rats wouldn't catch a cold.

　　C. Towards the end, the health of these rats is failing.
