　　第二部分：閱讀理解（第一節(jié)20小題，第二節(jié)5小題；每小題2分，滿分50分）

　　第一節(jié)：閱讀下列材料，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題紙上將該選項(xiàng)標(biāo)號(hào)涂黑。

　　A

　　Gavin Joseph, a teenager with Asperger’s Syndrome, was beaten up by a group of people for just being different. Asperger’s Syndrome is a developmental disorder that affects a person’s ability to socialize. But instead of putting them into prison for what they did to him, Gavin offered them a chance to become more tolerant and understanding.

　　On Thursday night, some kids were talking about how “it’s weird(怪異的)” that he is always by himself, attending events alone and watching people, and it was “creepy” that he wanted to be friends with people he didn’t know.

　　On Friday night, another kid that overheard that conversation decided to take matters into his own hands and become judge and jury, and this is the result of that. He didn’t ask questions, didn’t get to know Gavin, never met him, and didn’t give him a chance to leave. Gavin was called to meet someone, surrounded by people he didn’t know, choked, punched(用拳猛擊), and left lying on the pavement so he would “l(fā)earn his lesson”.

　　Gavin emerged from the attack with a concussion(腦震蕩), a fractured nose, a bruised esophagus(食道) and some damage to his eyes, but thankfully, none of the injuries resulted in permanent damage.

　　But here’s the truly amazing part — Gavin refused to press charges against the people who did this to him. Instead of wanting to see them punished, he wants to see them educated. Gavin asked that his attackers do community service that is disability-related. According to his mother, Gavin also asked that they watch a 20-minute video statement he taped while their families were present so they could see the damage they did and hear the event from his perspective.

　　“If you are reading this, I hope you talk to your teens,” his mother wrote. “Tell them about disabilities you can’t see, teach them to be tolerant of people that are different, teach them that if they continuously see someone alone that maybe it is not their choice to be alone, remind them to ask questions first and get to know one another.”

　　41. Gavin is always alone because he

　　.

　　A. enjoys being alone

　　B. is always upsetting

　　C. suffers from a disease

　　D. doesn’t like his schoolmates

　　42. Which word can best replace the underlined word “creepy” in Paragraph 2?

　　A. Fun.

　　B. Strange.

　　C. Natural.

　　D. Inspiring.

　　43. Why was Gavin beaten by a group of people?

　　A. He hurt some kids before.

　　B. He is different from normal people.

　　C. He refused to make friends with a kid.

　　D. He didn’t take school lessons seriously.

　　44. How did Gavin react to his injuries?

　　A. He fought back bravely.

　　B. He was too scared to react.

　　C. He decided to turn to court for help.

　　D. He wanted to see the attackers educated.

　　45. We can conclude that Gavin’s way of reacting was

　　.

　　A. interesting

　　B. praiseworthy

　　C. disappointing

　　D. unreasonable

　　B

　　After a fight and before forgiveness often comes an apology. But saying “I’m sorry” comes more easily for some people than doing that for others. A new study suggests that specific personality traits offer clues about whether a person is likely to offer a sincere apology.

　　Psychologist Andrew Howell and his colleagues at Grant MacEwan University in Edmonton designed a questionnaire to measure a person’s willingness to beg someone’s pardon. They asked participants to indicate their level of agreement with a series of statements, such as “My continued anger often gets in the way of me apologizing” or “If I think no one will know what I have done, I am not likely to apologize.” The researchers then used the answers to determine every participant’s “proclivity(傾向) to apologize,” and they cross-referenced(相互參照) these scores with results from a variety of personality assessments.

　　From the beginning, Howell was confident that people with high marks on compassion and agreeability would be willing apologizers — and the study results confirmed his hypothesis(假設(shè)). But the experiment also turned up some surprising traits of the unrepentant(不思悔改的).

　　People with low self-esteem, for example, were less inclined to apologize, even though they probably feel bad after a conflict. Unlike people who experience guilt about a specific action and feel sorry for the person they have wronged, individuals who experience generalized shame may actually be feeling sorry for themselves.

　　In contrast, “people who are sure of themselves have the capacity to confess to wrongdoing and admit it,” Howell suggests. But just the right amount of self-esteem is the key. The study also found that narcissists — people who, in Howell’s words, “are very egocentric, with an overly grand view of themselves” — were reluctant to offer an apology.

　　The researchers were most surprised to find that a strong sense of justice was negatively correlated with a willingness to apologize, perhaps suggesting that contrition(懺悔) and an “eye for an eye” philosophy are incompatible(不相容的). Reconciliation(和解) may end a conflict, but it cannot always settle a score.

　　46. What method did Andrew Howell and his colleagues use in the study?

　　A. Observing people.

　　B. Interviewing people.

　　C. Doing lab experiments.

　　D. Collecting information.

　　47. What kind of people are more likely to apologize?

　　A. Intelligent people.

　　B. Confident people.

　　C. People valuing fairness.

　　D. People feeling sorry for themselves.

　　48. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggests

　　.

　　A. an end of conflict doesn’t mean wrongdoers have been punished

　　B. “an eye for an eye” philosophy cannot solve an argument

　　C. only by deep regret can one learn the lesson of his wrongdoing

　　D. unsatisfactory compromises cannot end a conflict peacefully

　　49. The study done by Andrew Howell and his colleagues reveals

　　.

　　A. what influences one to be a willing apologizer

　　B. when people might apologize willingly
