Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet.

Passage 1

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.

(76) You must have been troubled by when to say “I love you” because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.

What if you say it first and your partner doesn’t love you back? Or if they do say it but you don’t feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve-racking(緊張) and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn’t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand first?

“A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal,” says psychologist Sidney Crown. “But love is seldom equal.” (77) All relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in.“That feeling of ‘I’ve always loved you more’ may be subverted (顛覆，破壞) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(大聲爭吵).” In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. “The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings,” says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. “The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says ‘I love you’ first may also be the one who says ‘I’m bored with you’ first.” Hall believes that much depends on how “I love you” is said and the motivation of the person saying it. “Is it said when they’re drunk? Is it said before their partner flies off on holiday, and what it really means is ‘Please don’t be unfaithful to me’? By saying ‘I love you’, they really saying ‘Do you love me?’ If so, wouldn’t it just be more honest to say that?” Collins agrees that intention is everything. “It’s not what is said, but how it’s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker.”

【答案與解析】

1、C 主旨大意題。本文主要講述說“我愛你”的時機，是采取主動還是處于被動，以及說話者的動機。故C項正確。

2、D 事實細節題。“You must have been troubled by when to say ‘I love you’ because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.”也就是說人們為何時說“我愛你”而煩惱。其他三項均不符合文意。

3、A 事實細節題。由關鍵詞a good relationship定位“A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal”。

4、C 詞義辨析題。由關鍵詞with the upper hand定位第三段中間“The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative”即“……的人掌握主動權。”故推測with the upper hand意思是“占了上風”。

5、A 事實細節題。從第三段末考林的話語中可以分析出說話人的動機決定一切。故A項正確。

Passage 2

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.

There are two methods of fighting, the one by law, the other by force; the first method is that of men, the second of beasts; but as the first method is often insufficient, one must have recourse to the second. It is, therefore, necessary for a prince to know how to use both the beast and the man. This was covertly taught to the rulers by ancient writers, who relate how Achilles and many others of those ancient princes were given Chiron the centaur to be brought up and educated under his discipline. The parable of this semi-animal, semi-human teacher is meant to indicate that a prince must know how to use both natures, and that one without the other is not durable.

A prince, being thus obliged to know well how to act as a beast, must imitate the fox, and the lion, for the lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. Those that wish to be only lions do not understand this. Therefore, a prudent ruler ought not to keep faith when by doing so it would be against his interest, and the reasons which made him bind himself no longer exist. (78) If men were all good, this percept would not be a good one; but as they are bad, and would not observe their faith with you, so you are not bound to keep faith with them.Nor have legitimate grounds ever failed a prince who wishes to show colorable excuse for the unfulfillment of his promise. Of this one could furnish an infinite number of examples, and also how many times peace has been broken, and how man promises rendered worthless, by the faithlessness of princes, and those that have best been able to imitate the fox have succeeded best. But it is necessary to be able to disguise this character well, and to be a great feigner and dissembler, and men are so simple and so ready to obey present necessities, that the one who deceives will always find those who allow themselves be to deceived.

6 The writer does not believe that ______.

A. the truth makes men free

B. people can protect themselves

C. princes are human

D. leaders have to be consistent

7 “Prince” in the passage designates ______.

A. anyone in power

B. elected officials

C. aristocrats
