　　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。During times of trouble, Franklin Delano Roosevelt spoke from a small room without a fireplace in the White House basement to millions of Americans. In his calm and conversational manner, he reassured（使……恢復信心）the nation in the depths of the Great Depression（大蕭條）and through a World War.Saul Bellow described his own experience of listening to President Roosevelt, hold the nation together, using only a radio and the power of his personality.

　　“I can recall walking eastward on the Chicago Midway… drivers had pulled over, parking bumper to bumper, and turned on their radios to hear Roosevelt. They had rolled down the windows and opened the car doors. Everywhere the same voice, its odd Eastern accent, which in anyone else would have angered Midwesterners. You could follow without missing a single word as you walked by. You felt joined to these unknown drivers, men and women…”

　　The nation needed the assurance of those Fireside Chats, the first of which was delivered on March 12, 1933. Between a quarter and a third of the work force was unemployed. Every bank in America had been closed for at least eight days. It’s hard for us to imagine. It was the hardest time of the Great Depression.

　　The “Fireside” was symbolic（象征性的）; most of the chats came from a small room in the White House basement. Frances Perkins, Roosevelt’s Secretary of Labor, described the change that would come over him just before the broadcasts: “His face would smile and light up as though he were actually sitting on the front porch(門廊) or in the parlor with them. People felt this, and came to respect and love him.”

　　In that first radio visit, Roosevelt began by explaining how the banking system worked: “When you put money in a bank, the bank does not place the money into a safe—deposit vault（金庫房. It invests your money in many different forms of credit—bonds, mortgages.” He went on to announce that the banks would reopen the next day.

　　68. The main purpose of the article is to

　　A. give examples of the power of radio broadcasting

　　B. make people examine their attitudes toward money

　　C. suggest that Roosevelt was America’s greatest president

　　D. show how Roosevelt reassured Americans during hard times

　　69. According to the article, the Fireside Chats raised the hopes of Americans because President Roosevelt

　　A. spoke to them in a friendly and confident tone

　　B. explained to them how to invest their money

　　C. was open about his own fears for the country

　　D. used humor to draw their attention away from their problems

　　70. The name “Fireside Chats” was probably intended to

　　A. demand listeners to protect resources

　　B. encourage spirited discussion among listeners

　　C. request people to desire for hope and reassurance

　　D. persuade Americans to talk with their families

　　71. Saul Bellow’s description of his own experience of listening to President Roosevelt shows

　　A. how popular and encouraging Roosevelt’s Fireside Chats were

　　B. how easily Roosevelt’s Fireside Chats could be understood

　　C. what great interest general public took in national affairs

　　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。When 47-year-old volunteer Susan Boyle stepped on to the stage of Britain’s Got Talent and announced she was unemployed, had never been married and “never been kissed, actually”, few in the audience would have wondered why. This Ms. Boyle, looking unfashionable, from a village in Scotland, shocked the three judges and the audience with the song “I Dreamed a Dream” from the musical Les Miserables on a show of “Britain’s Got Talent”, one of the hottest reality shows in Britain.

　　She couldn’t hide the awkwardness when walking to the center of the stage in a housedress, and everyone—including the judges—seemed laughing at her when she said she wanted to be as successful as Elaine Paige. As soon as she began singing, however, everyone present fell silent, then rose within seconds to applaud her incredible voice as the celebrity(名人) judges sat open-mouthed, and remained standing to the end.

　　After her performance, one of the judges Piers Morgan said, “Without doubt that was the biggest surprise I’ve had in three years of this show. When you stood there everyone was laughing at you. No one is laughing now. That was amazing.” Actress Amanda Holden followed, “I am so thrilled because I know that everybody was against you. I honestly think that we were all being cynical(憤世嫉俗的)and I think that’s the biggest wake-up call ever.”

　　Susan obviously won over the hearts of millions around the world with sensation spreading across the Atlantic. Hollywood actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore—who between them have nearly 1.5 million followers—speak highly of her. Kutcher posted a link to the video clip(片段). The Scottish talent made her live American debut(露面) via satellite connection on CBS’s The Early Show, doing an interview and singing live from her room. And she already accepted an invitation from talk show host Oprah Winfrey.

　　Now Boyle has become one of the world’s hottest celebrities. The video clip of her performance has been viewed more than 50 million times on YouTube, becoming a hit on the Internet. Not long ago she came to China and was warmly welcomed.

　　Psychologists have discovered that even the most independent-minded of us will conform to social pressure when we are with a group of people. In one classic experiment, people were shown a vertical（垂直的） line and asked to find a line of identical length from a selection of three.

　　You might think that this is an absurdly easy task, and when people perform it by themselves they do it very well. However, psychologists have discovered that we are very easily swayed by the opinions of other people when we do this task in a group. In one study, a group of three people was set up, where two of the people were confederates（同伙） of the experimenter. When the confederates deliberately gave wrong answers, people were often swayed to give the wrong answer also. In fact, 75% of people gave at least one wrong answer, with some people conforming to peer pressure on every occasion.

　　But why do people conform in this way? In an easy task like this, it seems that people do not want to step out of line with the prevailing opinion of the group. On more difficult tasks, people also conform because they lose confidence in their own ability to make decisions and prefer to trust the majority opinion instead.

　　A typical example of this kind of conformity arises when we come across people in distress. Would you help a woman who has been attacked in the street? It turns out that you are much more likely to go to her assistance if you are alone. When other people are also around, a diffusion of responsibility occurs. People are paralysed into inaction, because everyone assumes that someone else will go to the woman's assistance.

　　63. In Paragraph 1, the underlined word “conform” probably means “　 ”.

　　A. seek independence B. disobey orders

　　C. follow what others doD. seek pleasure

　　64. What is the purpose of the experiment described in Paragraph 2?

　　A. To explain why people would be influenced by the opinions of others.

　　B. To prove that people are easily influenced by the opinions of others.

　　C. To train the confederates of the experimenter as independent-minded.

　　D. To describe how people would be influenced by the opinions of others.

　　65. In the last paragraph, according to the author, why wouldn’t one help the woman?

　　A. He thinks he has no responsibilities to give a hand.

　　B. He thinks he has nothing to do with it.

　　C. He is too shy to give his helping hand.

　　D. He thinks someone else will offer assistance.

　　66. What method does the author mainly use to develop the text?

　　A. Giving examples.B. Cause-effect analysis.　

　　C. Comparative analysis.D. Process analysis.

　　SCS Global Services （SCS） has evaluated a new methodology for measuring the carbon sequestration（封存） ability of soil under the Verified（驗證） Carbon Standard （VCS）, a leading greenhouse gas （GHG） accounting system. The methodology, developed by The Earth Partners, will allow land managers who sequester GHGs in grasslands and farmlands to produce carbon credits for sale in the voluntary market.

　　Managers of grasslands and farmlands can increase carbon sequestration in soil by practices such as changing grazing（放牧） practices and operating treatments designed to improve the variety and productivity of plant groups. The Earth Partners is presently piloting this methodology with farmers across seven million acres of the Palouse River and Columbia Plateau regions in the Pacific Northwest.

　　“The VCS program has achieved an important milestone in now combining grassland and rangeland carbon offset（抵消，補償） projects," said Dr. Robert J. Hrubes, Executive Vice President of SCS."SCS looks forward to approving and verifying agricultural carbon offset projects that use this very powerful new methodology."

　　The VM0021 Soil Carbon Quantification Methodology is based on decades of soil carbon research and testing conducted by top soil scientists. The methodology was developed by The Earth Partners and verified by Environmental Services, Inc. as well as SCS Global Services. It is the first soil carbon methodology to be approved for use under the VCS.

　　"This widely tested methodology is the first to specially deal with soils in a market," said Steven I. Apfelbaum, Chairman of Applied Ecological Services, Inc. and Director of Science with The Earth Partners. According to Apfelbaum, soils represent the second largest living sink of carbon on the planet.

　　68. The new methodology is assessed according to　.

　　A. The Earth PartnersB. the Verified Carbon Standard

　　C. Environmental Services, Inc.D. Applied Ecological Services, Inc.

　　69. Carbon sequestration in soil can be strengthened by　.

　　A. selling carbon credits in the voluntary market

　　B. changing grazing practices and operating treatments

　　C. reducing the variety and productivity of plant groups

　　D. decreasing farmlands in the Pacific Northwest

　　70. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

　　A. The VCS program proves to be successful in carbon offset projects.

　　B. Many soil Carbon Methodologies have already been approved for use.

　　C. The new methodology has been tested in many fields including soil.
