Most of you love watching movies. They can be funny, sad, imaginative, inspiring, and so much more! There are so many possibilities and so many great movies to watch!

The making of a movie usually begins with a script (剧本).   36   The producer is the person who is responsible for coordinating(协调) aspects of the film like budget and scheduling. The producer plans out how the project will be carried out and he usually starts by hiring a director!  

       37  The director will usually identify themes or feelings that he or she wants the movie to convey to its audience and will then assemble(聚集) all the other people who will be needed, such as costume-designers, makeup artists, special effects crew, stuntmen, cameramen, and, of course, actors!

    Next, shooting begins!   38   Often a director will want to get several “takes” (versions) of a scene or moment and usually only a few minutes of the movie are finished in one day’s work.   39   So once filming is completed, the director must then work with editors to piece them all together, deciding which takes to use and adding in any special effects or touch-ups.

    The entire process from acquiring the script to editing the scenes generally takes months or even years! Once it’s ready, the finished movie is then distributed to movie theatres.   40 

A.  Scenes are also usually not shot in order.

B.  The actual filming can be a slow process.

C.  The way that movies are made has changed a lot over time.

D.  It gets bought by a movie studio or a producer.

E.  The producer plays a very important role in making a movie.

F.  In movies, the director’s job is to bring the script to life on camera.

G.  People can watch and enjoy it in the theatre.

Everyone looks forward to progress, whether in one's personal life or in the general society. Progress indicates a person's ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead a better way of doing things. All these, however, remains true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.

However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who miss the “good old days”, efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes efficient, people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to. The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or to see each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication gadgets, such as mobile phones and iPads, people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally. A personal visit carries with it the additional feature of having to be in the person's presence for as long as the visit lasts. We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off.

With efficiency also comes mass production. Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today. Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done. However, with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handcrafts (手工艺品) are now produced in a factory. Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.

Nevertheless, we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view. In fact, progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.

It is people's attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society. Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people's attitude. The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society. When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs, a new “past” is created.

70. According to Paragraph 1, progress can benefit people when they are willing to       .

A. live a better life                      B. look for better methods

C. change ways of living                 D. accept technology and advance steadily

Dear Editor，

I'm sorry to occupy your precious time, and I really want to tell you anything about the problem of some people keeping too many pets nowadays. I take the problem more and more seriously for a following reasons. First of all, as it is known to people, pets make so much noise that it troubled residents a lot. What's more, it is widely accepted that animal waste pollutes the environment, where makes people quite uncomfortable. Many owners like taking their pets to public place where they may frighten children or even bite people. The mostly important is that pets can spread some diseases and this has attracted much attention.

Take all these factors into consideration, I sincerely hope that I can get help from you and expect the media do something for this.

                                                               Yours,

Wang Lin

Yesterday I started the Year of Giving, my first day of a year-long journey into exploring the act of giving and the meaning of charity. I chose December 15 as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me.

I had a rather busy day yesterday, ironic (具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $ 10 to. I was running late and decided to do it afterwards.

After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out DuPont Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willingly accept my $ 10. He wasn’t there, but I did see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely, so I approached him. Now I had to figure out what I was going to say. I think I said something like, “Hi, can I sit down here?” “I would like to know if I could give you $ 10?” He asked me to repeat what I had said, I did; then he looked at me funny, got up and left.

I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I don’t know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give $ 10 to someone every day and that I wanted to give my $ 10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the things that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves.

4. The author set the starting date on December 15 to ____.

A. help the charity                                B. honor his mother

C. make an exploration                         D. fulfill a wish for his mum

5. In the author’s first attempt to give away the money, ____.

A. he was considered ridiculous             B. he hesitated for a long time

C. he was forced to donate the money    D. he had no time to take action

6. In the author’s second attempt, the gentleman refused his offer because ____.

A. he didn’t need other’s help                B. he thought more for others

C. he didn’t care about money               D. he wanted to get more money

7. We can refer that the author was inspired by ____.

A. true friendship                                        B. his own kindness

C. generous donations　                           D. human’s good nature

When asked what she wanted to do before her 50th birthday, racing across America was not the first thing that came to mind — that is, until Lisa Priestly’s doctor asked her to be a part of her team.

On June 12, eight cyclists on Lisa’s team, including an athletic trainer, a yoga teacher, an underwear model, a Parisian hairdresser, will compete in the Race Across America(RAAM) to raise funds for Charlie’s Champions Foundation(CCF).

This race is also significant for Lisa as she recovers from a back injury in her early 40s, not knowing at that point if she could take on a serious endurance event again. But, as she worked to heal her body through yoga and qigong, she eventually began cycling, riding in the LiveStrong Challenge and teaching indoor spinning classes. Now, feeling better than ever, Lisa’s sights are set on her biggest challenge yet: the Race Across America — a 3,000 mile cycling event from Oceanside, Calif. to Annapolis, MD.

RAAM is considered the toughest endurance event in the world as over 250 international cyclists race 24 hours a day for eight days straight through winds, heat, darkness and altitudes of 10,000 feet hoping to win the title. “Mt. Everest is more dangerous, but RAAM is much harder,” Mt. Everest climber and three-time solo RAAM winner, Wolfgang Fasching, said in a statement.

Supported by eight crew members, this eight-person team will take shifts with each person cycling an average of four hours a day around the clock in an effort to raise funds for Charlie’s Champions, a foundation named in honor of a young boy who has battled leukemia for much of his life. The funds raised will support the Winthrop University Hospital’s Cancer Center for Kids in Mineola, N.Y., which offers medical programs that assist children like Charlie to live to their fullest potential while fighting for their lives.

24. Why did Lisa decide to take part in the Race Across America?

    A. To fulfill her lifelong dream.           B. To celebrate her 50th birthday.

    C. To raise money for a foundation.       D. To show her recovery from injury.  

25. It can be inferred that the members of Lisa’s team _____.

     A. were friends for many years         B. were patients of her doctor

    C. got training from Fasching                 D. came from all walks of life

26. After getting a back injury, Lisa _____.

     A. quit her job and gave up exercise        B. worked as a volunteer at a hospital

    C. set up an eight-person cycling team    D. wondered if she could fully recover 

27. What can we learn about RAAM?

    A. It is organized by CCF.          

     B. It covers as far as Mt. Everest.

     C. It will last for more than a week. 

     D. It is an event organized by the US government.

　    Scientists who try to predict earthquakes have gotten some new helpers recently—animals.

　　That’s right, animals. Scientists have begun to understand what farmers have known for thousands of years. Animals often seem to know in advance that an earthquake is coming, and they show their fear by acting in strange ways. Before a Chinese quake in 1975, snakes awoke from their winter sleep early only to freeze to death in the cold air. Cows broke their halters (缰绳) and tried to escape. Chickens refused to enter their cage. All of this unusual behavior, as well as physical changes in the earth, warned Chinese scientists of the coming quake. They moved people away from the danger zone and saved thousands of lives.

　　One task for scientists today is to learn exactly which types of animal behavior predict quakes. It’s not an easy job. First of all not every animal reacts to the danger of an earthquake. Just before a California quake in 1977, for example, an Arabian horse became very nervous and tried to break out of his enclosure. The Australian horse next to him, however, remained perfectly calm. It’s also difficult at times to tell the difference between normal animal restlessness and “earthquake nerves”. A zoo keeper once called earthquake researchers to say that his cougar (美洲狮) had been acting strangely. It turned out that the cat had an upset stomach.

　　A second task for scientists is to find out exactly what kind of warnings the animals receive. They know that animals sense far more of the world than humans do. Many animals can see, hear, and smell things that people do not even notice. Some can sense tiny changes in air pressure, gravity, or the magnetism of Earth. This extra sense probably helps animals predict quakes.

　　A good example of this occurred with a group of dogs. They were shut in an area that was being shaken by a series of tiny earthquakes. (Several small quakes often come before or after a large one.) Before each quake a low booming sound was heard. Each boom caused the dogs to bark wildly. Then the dogs began to bark during a silent period. A scientist who was recording quakes looked at his machine. It was acting as though there were a loud noise too. The scientist realized that the dogs had reacted to a booming noise. They also sensed the tiny quake that followed it. The machine recorded both, though humans felt and heard nothing.

In this case there was a machine to monitor what the dogs were sensing. Many times, however, our machines record nothing extraordinary, even though animals know a quake is coming. The animals might be sensing something we measure but do not recognize as a warning. Discovering what animals sense, and learning how they know it is a danger signal, is a job for future scientists.

59. Through the passage the writer hopes to explore __________.

A. why animals send a danger signal before an earthquake

B. how animals know when an earthquake is coming

C. why animals have good sense of danger

D. how much animals know about an earthquake

60. During an earthquake in China in 1975, _________.

A. chickens refused to go out of their cage

B. snakes were frozen to death in their caves

C. snakes awoke from their winter sleep earlier

D. cows broke their halters and escaped from their sheds

61. Which of the following is one of earthquake nerves according to the passage?

A. An Arabian horse tried to escape from his enclosure.

B. A cougar had an upset stomach unexpectedly.

C. An Australian horse was perfectly calm.

D. A cat acted very strangely in a zoo.

62. The scientists did an experiment with a group of dogs to _________.

A. find out that the machine could record unusual happenings

B. compare the reactions of animals and those of humans

C. prove that animals could sense more than humans

D. find out what exact warnings animals sent

The earth provides us with almost everything that we need to eat, sleep, work and entertain. To do all this, we use the earth’s resources. Because some of us have more buying power, they end up using more resources than they usually need. At the same time, we also create a great deal of waste and pollution. So we also need to think about how much land we use to deal with that waste. Then two things happen: first, large numbers of the world’s population get much less resources than they need to live; second, the earth is damaged.

The amounts of resources we consumed are like footprints. They show whose lifestyles are a burden on the earth and whose lifestyles are not. Because a few people eat up most of the earth’s resources, the majority have to bear the consequences—like pollution. This is the ecological footprints that the earth keeps in its memory.

Some years ago, a famous expert, called William Rees, developed this idea of the ecological footprints. Today, this idea has become like a magnifying glass (放大镜). It allows us to see whether we are living lives in a way that keeps the earth in a reasonably good shape. Once the earth goes out of shape, there is no hope for human beings.

Countries like the United States and Canada have big ecological footprints. Rees calculated that the average amount of energy and materials consumed by a Canadian is what a land of 4.3 hectares can produce. India has a footprint of 0.4. This means that the energy and materials consumed by an Indian is what 0.4 hectares of land can produce. But if we look more carefully, we will find that even within India, the footprints of the city Indian are much larger than the rural Indian.

Three Japanese tourists taking a holiday in Australia got stuck when their GPS told them they could drive from the mainland to an island, failing to mention the 15 kilometres of water and mud in between.

As they drove their hired car from Moreton Bay to nearby North Stradbroke Island, they started to notice the firm surface they were driving on giving way to the well-known bay mud. However, being confident that their GPS would direct them to a road soon, they decided to drive on, managing to travel around 500 metres before their car was up to its tires in mud. To make matters worse, the tide(潮汐) started to come in and soon forced them to seek help and abandon the vehicle. Just four hours later the car was trapped in two metres of water — to the great amusement of onlookers on the shore and passengers on passing boats and ferries.

Yuzu Noda, 21, said she was listening to the GPS and “it told us we could drive down there. It kept saying it would navigate(导航) us to a road. But we got stuck…there’s lots of mud.” She and her travel companions Tomonari Saeki, 22, and Keita Osada, 21, instead had to give up their plans for a day trip to the island and headed back to the Gold Coast of a lift from the RACQ tow truck(吊车) driver who was called to the trapped car. No such luck for the hired car though – after assessing the situation, no attempt was made to recover it. The students from Tokyo, who are due to return home tomorrow, said the experience would not put them off returning to Australia for another visit. Mr. Tomonari said, “It has rained every day on our six day holiday. Hopefully next time we come back it will be sunny.”

The car was covered by insurance, but the tourists will have to pay up to about $1500 in extra charges.

60. The three Japanese tourists got stuck because          .

A. there was no way to the island                       B. their GPS was broken during their journey

C. their GPS had given the wrong information     D. their car was not made in Japan

61. They didn’t abandon their car until          .

A. some onlookers went to save them           B. they got stuck in the mud

C. there came the tide                               D. they managed to travel around 500 metres

62. How did these Japanese students get back?

A. They had to walk back to their living place.     B. They had to take a lift from the tow truck driver.

C. They had to repair their GPS and drove back.    D. They had to turn to passengers on boats and ferries.

63. According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A. The passengers saved these students in the end.   B. Mr. Tomonari got very down after the journey.

C. No money has to be paid thanks to insurance.     D. The car was left where it was trapped.
