10、another.And the characteristics also help guide directors towards what is going to be the next big cinematic presentation.The RegularsThey are basically amateur movie critics themselves due to the amount of movies they watch.They do not decide more between movies and can generally see two or even th
11、ree in one sitting.So older people are the regulars due to their plenty of free time they have.The Young ParentsChildrens movies are their entertainment of choice,and they tend to choose light-hearted humor over everything.Usually friendly,the group are great at socializing.As for the movie category
12、 for children,directors trust this group as they know what is wanted and expected in the types of movies.The CoupleThey are quick to get into the cinema and usually buy what is required by the female partner.What is usually a similar theme in their movies is at least a hinting at a love story of som
13、e sort.These groups are excellent test subjects for the production of Nicholas Sparks type movies as they feel like their love story is the next big production and thus directors are drawn towards them.The Noisy Teens3 These types can interrupt a movie countless times.Though they may buy tons of foo
14、d,they seem somehow not to send the food into their mouths and employees find much food is left on the floor as if a food fight went on during the film.Action and adventure movies come out usually for this crowd because the plot and fast-paced nature of the film usually keep the teens at bay for tha

16、ike to judge the quality of the love-story films.23.Which group will probably pay little attention to the subject of the movie?A.The Couple.B.The Young Parents.C.The Regulars.D.The Rowdy Teens.BFor the past two years I have been travelling and living abroad.Home has become more of a feeling than a p
17、lace.I feel at home when I am with my family in London,but I also feel at home in Italy with friends I love.What I used to take as nothing special is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows.It is more complicated than that.This is one of the reasons that celebrating the new
18、 year has become very important for me.I do not care about New Years resolutions-living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life,so I dont feel the need to plan for change:I live for change.New Years Eve has become my time to reconnect wit
19、h the friends that make me feel at home.Every year we try to reunite wherever we are and remember the time when we knew each other so well that we felt like a family.It is a moment to recognize and get to know each other again.Last year,we travelled to a cottage in Ireland where we had no Internet a
20、nd no neighbors.In the middle of the countryside,away from our big and constantly changing lives,we were able to become like a little family again.This year,we went to Barcelona.It was a very big change.We were surrounded by culture and life and joy.There were bars and parties.It was different,but o
21、ne thing stayed very much the same-I felt at home again and we felt like a family again.A lot of people feel that New Years Eve cannot live up to expectations.Ideas such as the“New Years kiss”and“resolutions”create a lot of pressure for people to have a night to remember,a night that will change the
22、ir lives and perhaps make the next year worth living.I think those people are missing the point.If Christmas is about family,why cant New Year be about friends?24What does the underlined word“It”in Paragraph l probably mean?AFamily.BLiving abroad.CHome.D.Staying with friends.25Why doesnt the author
23、care about New Years resolutions?ANew Years resolutions cannot be reached.BHis lifestyle makes him always ready for change.CIts meaningless to make any big changes in life.4 DMaking New Years resolutions creates much pressure.26What does the author try to convey through his experiences in Ireland an
24、d Barcelona?ALife is peaceful and enjoyable.BLiving abroad is a happy experience.CStaying with friends makes one feel at home.DTravelling abroad enriches ones life experience.27Which of the following can be the best title for the text?ANew Years Celebration:How?BTrue Friendship:What?CLiving Abroad:C
25、omfortable or Complicated?DChange:Plan it or Make it?CIt is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socio-economic backgrounds tend to do less well in the education system.In an attempt to help the children of poor families,a nationwide program called“Headstart”was started in the US in
26、1965.A lot of money was poured into it.It took children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school.But the results have been disappointing,because the program began too late.Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in
27、 language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process.At the end of each day,“Headstart”children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.To improve the results,another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the childs first teachers.This pro
28、gram was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life.The four-year study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different social-economic status,age and family structu
29、re.The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child.The program also gave the parents some guidance,and useful skills on child development.At three,the children involved in the“Missouri”program were evaluated with the children selected from the sam
30、e socio-economic background and family situations.The results were obvious.The children in the program were more advanced in language development,problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers.They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or family structure.Th
31、e one factor that was found to affect the childs development was the poor quality of parent-child interaction.That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.The“Missouri”program compares quite distinctly with the“Headstart”program.Without a similar focus on parent education and on the v
32、ital importance of the first three years,some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome educational unfairness.28.What caused the failure of the“Headstart”program?A.The large number of poor families.B.The disapproval from children.C.The late start of the program.D.The long period of
33、time.29.What do we know about the“Missouri”program?A.It focused on the childrens first school teachers.B.It helped the children return to the same home.C.It made the children improved in many aspects.D.It gave the parents advice on their development.5 30.According to the passage,what is likely to in
34、fluence childrens performance?A.The number of family members.B.The parent-child communication.C.The intelligence of their parents.D.The teacher-student relationship.31.How does the author develop the passage?A.By listing figures.B.By making comparisons.C.By giving examples.D.By drawing conclusions.D
35、With the possible exception of equal rights,perhaps the most controversial issue across the United States today is the death penalty(刑罚).Many argue that it is an effective deterrent(威慑)to murder,while others maintain there is no convincing evidence that the death penalty reduces the number of murder
36、s.The principal argument advanced by those opposed to the death penalty,basically,is that it is cruel and inhuman punishment,which is the mark of a brutal society,and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as a deterrent to crime anyway.In our opinion,the death penalty is a necessary evil.
37、Throughout recorded history there have always been those extreme individuals in every society who were capable of terribly violent crimes such as murder.But some are more extreme than others.For example,it is one thing to take the life of another in a fit of blind rage,but quite another to coldly pl
38、ot and carry out the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher.Thus,murder,like all other crimes,is a matter of relative degree.While it could be argued with some conviction that the criminal in the first instance should be merely separated from society,such should not be the fate of th
39、e latter type murderer.The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to debate.But the overwhelming majority of citizens believe that the death penalty protects them.Their belief is strengthened by evidence which shows that the death penalty deters murder.For example,from 1954 t
40、o 1963,when the death penalty was consistently imposed in California,the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100,000 population.Since 1964 the death penalty has been carried out only once,and the murder rate has risen to 10.4 murders for each 100,000 population.The sharp cli
41、mb in the states murder rate,which began when executions stopped,is no coincidence.It is convincing evidence that the death penalty does deter many murderers.If the bill reestablishing the death penalty is banned,innocent people will be murderedsome whose lives may have been saved if the death penal
42、ty were in effect.This is literally a life or death matter.The lives of thousands of innocent people must be protected.32.The principal purpose of this passage is to_.A.argue for the value of the death penaltyB.initiate a banC.criticize the governmentD.speak for the majority33.According to the Parag
43、raph 4,it can be inferred that_.A.the death penalty is the most controversial issue in the United States todayB.the ban of the bill reestablishing the death penalty is of little importanceC.the second type of murderers should be sentenced to deathD.the value of the death penalty as a deterrent to cr
44、ime is not to be debated34.The passage attempts to establish a relationship between_.A.the effects of execution and the effects of isolation6 B.the murder rate and the imposition of the death penaltyC.the importance of equal rights and that of the death penaltyD.executions and murders35.The authors

49、clinical veterinarian Jennifer Flower,DVM,MS.“Given that we are globally producing over 320 million tons of plastic annually,the marine environment is taking a big hit from our daily disposal of plastic.38 For example,newborn fish are mistaking tiny bits of plastic waste for food.If they die,there w
50、ill be fewer big fishand that could damage the food chain.Often our society is so focused on making our lives more convenient in the short term,but in the long run,our health and the health of marine life are at the expense of those everyday conveniences.”39A recent report suggests that when heated,
