( A ) When thinking of boutiques (精品店), we often imagine jewelry and clothing shops that women frequent. But are there boutiques for men? Yes! Nestled (坐落于) in the Hualong Mountain area of Hsinchu County lies a mens boutique. That is (25) _ Kevin Lo, sales manager at Musclecar GT, describes this company (26) _ reproduces high-quality parts for classic cars. The average customers are 40-to 65-year-old men from around the world. Finding spare parts is (27) _ (big) problem for collectors of classic cars. But this company can help collectors overcome this challenge because they deal with cars built from 1932 to 1974. Using reverse engineering, Musclecar GT builds a copy of each car.

Molds (模具) of the parts (29) _ (develop), and necessary machinery for the production line is made. The edges of the machines are hand scanned so no faults will occur on the final product. Skilled workers are needed for the entire production process. Knowing that only older workers had the needed skills, owner Lo Hsiuhsien then (30) _ (encourage) them to teach young people what they knew. These young employees, who are enthusiastic about cars, know that quality comes first. People can order furniture or decorations for their restaurants to give them a 1950s diner feeling. They can also have couches or tables in their houses made from classic car parts. Those interested in getting a feel for (31) _ this is like can easily find it at Lo Sir Classic Car Manor near Bei Pu. Visitors can stop by (32) _ a cup of coffee or lunch and view some of the classic cars. ( B ) The most common mistakes (33) _ (lead) to a bad back are poor body mechanics and unhealthy habits. How you move objects, your posture, not stretching before exercising and the wrong kind of shoes all contribute to one of the most common medical problems today. Back pain affects eight out of 10 people in their lifetime, according to the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Douglas Won, founder and director of Minimally Invasive SpineCARE and Star Medical Center in Plano, Texas, offers some tips to improve back health: First, maintain proper body mechanics:l Stretch (34) _ exercising or doing any tough activity. Push heavy objects across the floor instead of pulling or lifting them.l (35) _ lifting is necessary, lift with your knees, not your back.l Avoid sudden movements and twisting motions when carrying objects-even a bag of groceries can do serious harm when (36) _ (handle) improperly.l Maintain good posture as often as possible. When standing, your weight (37) _ be balanced smoothly and regularly on both feet to avoid injuring your muscles and joints.l Wear proper shoes.

This can result in spasms (痉挛), muscle twists and stressed nerves that are painful and can lead to more serious problems.Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. package B. appealing C. elimination D. alternative E. limited F. practically G. matched H. creatively I. unique J. temporary K. enclosedWhen young people begin to live independently, home-hunting can involve some stress. But they would do well to remember that a new _41_ is available -micro-homes.Called tiny houses, these houses have all living necessities in a small _42_, including kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Generally under 50 square meters, most tiny houses accommodate just one or two people though some claim the space for more. Whats lost in size is not lost in design as these homes are often quite unique and modern in design.Besides an attractive appearance, tiny houses can also boast _43_ practical features. Making the best of urban space, the 72-to 122-centimeter-wide Keret House in Warsaw, the worlds narrowest home, filled in a corridor. The prototype (原型) home Ecocapsule uses solar power, wind power and rainwater collection to enable its owner to live _44_ anywhere. A system of rails allows the DALE micro-home to adjust room size and number as well as adding the option of an open or _45_ courtyard.Visually _46_ as micro-homes are, there are a few drawbacks to consider before getting comfortable on a mini-couch. Moving into a tiny house requires the _47_ of most non-essentials, no matter the emotional connection to them. Guests will also mostly be out of the question as the _48_ space may even cause an unaccompanied individual to experience some cabin fever. And finally, a micro-home is likely a(n) _49_ living option for most people since they will probably start families and acquire more possessions.Though the limitations will scare some, there is usually a benefit. A small size results in a small price tag and small bills, making tiny houses easier to save up for and budget. And though you wont have much stuff around the house, this can provide the comfort of simple living and maintenance. Micro-homes are also practically mobile and boast eco-friendliness that cant be _50_ by other homes. They probably arent for everyone or forever, but when it comes to your next (or first) home, they could be just what you need.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Lets face it: while we go to the office to work, no one is expected to keep their head down the entire time theyre there. Yet companies expect _51_ out of their employees: thats why theyre paying you to be there. No talking or socializing at all is one _52_, while the other is being able to talk to whomever you want, whenever you want, about whatever you want, even if you never quite manage to make it to your desk until 11:00 a.m. Both examples are _53_ unrealistic. So first we have the entire gray area in between those two, and thats just during office time. The phrase people-oriented is generally used to _54_ something that vaguely represents a company where everyone is pleasant and happy. Its fun to work there, everyone likes his or her job and each employee is _55_ well and fairly. Know any companies like that? People-oriented is a traditional and unclear phrase that needs _56_ to make sure your definition is the same as the companys and that you can spot a _57_ if there is one. So what do you mean by people-oriented? Do you want a company that promotes from within and doesnt _58_ gathering at the water cooler? A company where management makes a practice of being _59_? A place where customers are of great _60_ both in philosophy and actuality, or one that is involved in its community and requires each _61_ to join or participate in a specific event once or twice each year? When you look closer at what this phrase means to you, youll discover that some aspects are more important to you than others. Knowing what you mean by this phrase gives you the power to discover if the companys _62_ is the same as yours. Why bother leaving a message that may not be _63_ for days when you can reach someone instantly with a text or instant message? That seems to be increasingly dominant viewpoint, anyway. When texting and instant messaging for _64_ needs, keep in mind some tips from workplace and career experts. Marla Harr, a business etiquette consultant and trainer, says that when relying on texting and messaging for work, you should _65_ that the person you want to send a text message wants to receive and communicate in that way.51.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Located in northern Manitoba on the west side of Hudson Bay, Churchill is out in the middle of nowhere. But polar bears like it that way. They spend summers on the tundra (苔原) around Churchill. In the fall, they wait anxiously along the shore of Hudson Bay for the ice to form. Then they go out onto the frozen sea to hunt ringed seals - their favorite food. October and November are the best polar-bear viewing times. From tundra vehicles, visit
