　　2. The most common testing point in Part V involves word choice. You can identify these items because the four answer choices look alike or have similar meanings. Use the context of the sentence to help you choose the answer, and look for any grammar clues that help you eliminate distractors.

　　3. The second most common type of item in Part V involves word form. You can recognize these because the answer choices are all forms of the same word. Use the endings of the words to determine which choice is correct in the context of the sentence.

　　4. Verb problems are the third most common item type in Part V. The answer choices for these items are four forms of the same verb. Look for time words and other clues.

　　5. If the correct choice is not obvious, eliminate choices that are clearly incorrect and guess. Put a mark by items that you found difficult so that you can come back to them if you have time. Never leave any items unanswered.

　　托業考試之閱讀理解練習題

　　Hotels were among the earliest facilities that bound the United States together.They were both creatures and creators of communities,as well as symptoms of the frenetic quest for community.Even in the first part of the nineteenth century,Americans were private,business and pleasure purposes.Conventions were the new occasions,and hotels were distinctively American facilities making conventions possible.The first national convention of a major party to choose a candidate for President (that of the National Republican party,which met on December 12,1831,and nominated Henry Clay for President)was held in Baltimore,at a hotel that was then reputed to be the best in the country.The presence in Baltimore of Barnum's City Hotel,a six-story building with two hundred apartments helps explain why many other early national political conventions were held there.

　　In the longer run,too.American hotels made other national conventions not only possible but pleasant and convivial.The growing custom of regularly assembling from afar the representatives of all kinds of groups -not only for political conventions,but also for commercial,professional,learned,and avocational ones -in turn supported the multiplying hotels.By mid-twentieth century,conventions accounted for over third of the yearly room occupancy of all hotels in the nation,about eighteen thousand different conventions were held annually with a total attendance of about ten million persons.

　　Nineteenth-century American hotelkeepers,who were no longer the genial,deferential "hosts"of the eighteenth-century European inn,became leading citizens.Holding a large stake in the community,they exercised power to make it prosper.As owners or managers of the local "palace of the public",they were makers and shapers of a principal community attraction.Travelers from abroad were mildly shocked by this high social position.

　　Question 8-17

　　Beads were probably the first durable ornaments humans possessed,and the intimate relationship they had with their owners is reflected in the fact that beads are among the most common items found in ancient archaeological sites.In the past,as today,men,women,and children adorned themselves with beads.In some cultures still,certain beads are often worn from birth until death,and then are buried with their owners for the afterlife.Abrasion due to daily wear alters the surface features of beads,and if they are buried for long,the effects of corrosion can further change their appearance.Thus,interest is imparted to the bead both by use and the effects of time.

　　Besides their wearability,either as jewelry or incorporated into articles of attire,beads possess the desirable characteristics of every collectible,they are durable,portable,available in infinite variety,and often valuable in their original cultural context as well as in today's market.Pleasing to look at and touch,beads come in shapes,colors,and materials that almost compel one to handle them and to sort them.

　　Beads are miniature bundles of secrets waiting to be revealed:their history,manufacture,cultural context,economic role,and ornamental use are all points of information one hopes to unravel.Even the most mundane beads may have traveled great distances and been exposed to many human experiences.The bead researcher must gather information from many diverse fields.In addition to having to be a generalist while specializing in what may seem to be a narrow field,the researcher is faced with the problem of primary materials that have little or no documentation.Many ancient beads that are of ethnographic interest have often been separated from their original cultural context.

　　The special attractions of beads contribute to the uniqueness of bead research.While often regarded as the "small change of civilizations",beads are a part of every culture,and they can often be used to date archaeological sites and to designate the degree of mercantile,technological,and cultural sophistication.

　　Question 18-31

　　In the world of birds,bill design is a prime example of evolutionary fine-tuning.Shorebirds such as oystercatchers use their bills to pry open the tightly sealed shells of their prey,hummingbirds have stiletto-like bills to probe the deepest nectar-bearing flowers,and kiwis smell out earthworms thanks to nostrils located at the tip of their beaks.But few birds are more intimately tied to their source of sustenance than are crossbills.Two species of these finches,named for the way the upper and lower parts of their bills cross,rather than meet in the middle,reside in the evergreen forests of North America and feed on the seeds held within the cones of coniferous trees.

　　The efficiency of the bill is evident when a crossbill locates a cone.Using a lateral motion of its lower mandible,the bird separates two overlapping scales on the cone and exposes the seed.The crossed mandibles enable the bird to exert a powerful biting force at the bill tips,which is critical for maneuvering them between the scales and spreading the scales apart.Next,the crossbill snakes its long tongue into the gap and draws out the seed.Using the combined action of the bill and tongue,the bird cracks open and discards the woody seed covering action and swallows the nutritious inner kernel.This whole process takes but a few seconds and is repeated hundreds of times a day.

　　The bills of different crossbill species and subspecies vary -some are stout and deep,others more slander and shallow.As a rule,large-billed crossbills are better at securing seeds from large cones,while small-billed crossbills are more deft at removing the seeds from small,thin-scaled cones.Moreover,the degree to which cones are naturally slightly open or tightly closed helps determine which bill design is the best.

　　One anomaly is the subspecies of red crossbill known as the Newfoundland crossbill.This bird has a large,robust bill,yet most of Newfoundland's conifers have small cones,the same kind of cones that the slender-billed white-wings rely on.

　　18.What does the passage mainly discuss?

　　(A)The importance of conifers in evergreen forests

　　(B)The efficiency of the bill of the crossbill

　　(C)The variety of food available in a forest

　　(D)The different techniques birds use to obtain food

　　19.Which of the following statements best represents the type of "evolutionary fine -turning"mentioned in line1?

　　(A)Different shapes of bills have evolved depending on the available food supply

　　(B)White -wing crossbills have evolved from red crossbills

　　(C)Newfoundland's conifers have evolved small cones

　　(D)Several subspecies of crossbills have evolved from two species

　　20.Why does the author mention oystercatchers,hummingbirds,and kiwis in lines 2-4?

　　(A)They are examples of birds that live in the forest

　　(B)Their beaks are similar to the beak of the crossbill

　　(C)They illustrate the relationship between bill design and food supply

　　(D)They are closely related to the crossbill

　　21.Crossbills are a type of

　　(A)shorebird

　　(B)hummingbird
