It is reached by a delightful road that drops down 700 meters over two huge “steps” of rock to the sea. Tourists go down to Apollonia in the afternoon, after they have spent the morning in Cyrene. Both places were cities long ago, and they are full of interesting and beautiful ruins. There is more to be seen in Cyrene — on the ground, you understand. If you want to know the excitement of an underwater city, Apollonia is the ruins of Apollonia are on the mainland. Some are on an island a thousand meters from the short. The rest now lie between, under eight or ten meters of water. The sea is warm, seldom rough. It is often almost as clear as a still day, then, swim out towards the island. Swim under water as much as you can, with your eyes open. Look you see a street, with houses and shops on both sides. Their roofs have fallen in, but the walls are standing. Some shops have a big stone table — a counter perhaps ？C and stone shelves. At the end of this street you come to a square. It has a wide pavement all around, and some buildings open directly on to the pavement. Were they cafes? Did the waiters put tables and chairs on the pavement in summer long ago? Over two thousand years ago the king of Egypt visited the city. He brought his daughter Cleopatra with him. She was ten years old at the time, and her father built a huge swimming bath for her. You can still see Cleopatra's Bath, behind the cafes in the square. And you will not be surprised to hear that it is still full of water!16.

These halls are popularly called "dorms". Residence halls may offer various types of living accommodations. There are single rooms, in which a student lives alone but there probably are a good many more double rooms, which two students share. Some dorms have sets of rooms, where small groups of students have separate bedrooms but share a bathroom and maybe a study are usually a number of conveniences available for those living in university residence halls. Most have washing machines and clothes dryers for use by the residents. Many dorms have kitchens where students can prepare light meals: Residence halls generally provide not only room and board but public rooms and recreational facilities (娛樂(lè)設(shè)施) and sometimes study rooms for their use. If you live in a dormitory you need to know what the rules and regulations are. Meals usually are served at only certain hours, and you must be there at those hours if you expect to eat. There may be only certain hours when visitors may come, or they may be limited to certain areas of the dormitory. Often cooking in bedrooms is prohibited (禁止), and the use of certain pieces of electrical equipment such as coffee pots or hair dryers may be in a residence hall carries certain obligation (義務(wù)). You have to be considerate of others, especially during study hours. Telephone calls and visits by friends should be short. You have to cooperate in keeping the room as neat as possible. It is sometimes hard to be tolerant of another person's habits that may differ from your own. 21.

Students who feel they are say it is because they pay attention; remember what the person says; and ask questions based on what the other has said; or it is because they like people and are interested in them. They feel they are poor listeners when they think about something else while the other is talking or when they're tired, or not interested in what she or he is talking about. In fact, there are a variety of ways to listen, just as there are a variety of ways to say something. Human beings are complex and concealing. Often we don't say what we want to say, or say exactly the opposite of what we want to say. Sometimes, we aren't honest or direct with another because we think we don't have the right or are afraid of what will happen if we are. The body "talks", too, sometimes more honestly than the different ways of talking need different ways of listening. To keep the seesaw going in conversations and in relationships, we need to understand and use these different ways, especially if our goal is to be a caring, thoughtful person. By knowing how to listen in various ways, you can be accurate in picking up messages no matter how they are masked or distorted (變形了的) or how they are delivered. Some messages are heard just by listening silently; some, by holding a hand or giving a hug (擁抱). But to be able to respond accurately, you need to hear accurately. Most people listen only with their ears. Too few listen with their hearts as well as their ears, listening to the other's, sharing of his or her hopes, joys, . According to the passage, listening only with ears may happen to us when .A) we are emotionally tired C) we are so interested in the topicB) we are physically disabled D) we are asked many questions27.

The word "seesaw" (Line 1, Para. 3) probably means .A) communication C) understandingB) purpose D) friendship30. According to the passage our failure to give proper response to the speaker is probably because .A) we misunderstand what he says C) he speaks in a distorted wayB) we don't like the speaker D) he speaks in a different languageQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following FourSuperstition (迷信) is a difficult question. We cannot quite say that superstition in Britain is dead. Its history is too long and too recent for that, and indeed you will find many remains of it in modem Britain. But they are only connected chiefly with vague beliefs of good luck and bad luck. It is unlucky, for instance, to walk under a ladder, or to spill salt, or break a mirror, or to have anything to do with number 13; whereas a horseshoe brings good luck, and people jokingly "touch wood" to prevent the return of a past misfortune. There are still many strange country remedies against sickness which are obviously superstitions. Most of all, there is still a surprising amount of interest in fortune-telling, . in the form of "horoscopes" (占星術(shù)) in newspapers and women's magazines — though for most people this is nothing more than an amusement, which they may well be slightly ashamed of. But the real measure of superstition is fear. In this sense there is no superstition in Britain. British people as a whole do not believe in evil influences or evil spirits. Sickness and misfortune do not come from devils, but are the result of chance or foolishness or inefficiency. Devils belong only to history books. Devils exist only in the mind — usually the minds of others. Magic is simply an interesting word for performingtricks. Fairies (童話(huà)故事中的仙女) are pretty little winged creatures in "fairy stories" for children and any adult who believed in fairies or magic or devils would be considered slightly mad. Thus, modem Britain has largely emerged from superstition, and the future seems to consist not of devils, but of matter and machines. 31. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to .A) criticize British people's superstitious beliefs B) show British people's attitudes towards superstitious beliefs todayC) describe various superstitious beliefs still practiced in modern BritainD) emphasize the influence of superstition upon the British people32.
