27、 a white blanket and had an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose。He looked very thin and had a whiteandblack beard.“We are following his condition minute by minute but we dont hold out too much hope,”Shadnoush said.State radio had originally reported the mans age sa57.But doctors said that when he wa
28、s first brought to the hospital he had been able to give his first name ,Jalil ,and his age,56.He then slipped into a coma overnight.He was the first survivor to come alive out of the ruins of the ancient Silk Road city 1000kilometres southeast of Teheran since a woman in her 90s was rescued on Janu
29、ary3.The December 26 earthquake ,which measured 6.8 on the Richter scale ,struck just before dawn, destroying 90 percent of the citys buildings and killing more than 30000 people.Experts say it is very rare for people to survive for more than 72 hours in such conditions .Temperatures have fallen to

37、onsciousnessBPersonally，I like Chinese New Years movies very much. Because they are filled with joyous themes ，and this kind of movie is a good choice for people who finally finish a years hard work and wish to add some refreshment to their new year.And it proved to be true that Chinese New Years mo
38、vies are in need, for they were well received by common people in the late 1990s.However,after less than 10 years of flourishing，they are now facing a great decline in box of fice income.I think the failure of Chinese New years movies is for two main reasons：lack of creation and low quality of produ
39、ction.Audiences are not fools。They watch movies in order to get satisfaction，happiness and :enlightenment（启发），not to be tricked by meaningless，same stories。If a movie tells a boring story，how can filmmakers expect applause（鼓掌）from the audience。And at the same time we hope that directors choose actor
40、s and actresses carefully。The success of a movie is mostly determined by a fine story and good performances。If performers arent able to communicate a characters emotions exactly，no matter how wonderful a story is, the movie may be a failure. So a popular New Years movie ought to be creative and elab
41、orately（精心地）produced。My favourite Chinese New Years ，movie is “Be There or Be Square”（Bu Jian Bu San）,directed by Feng Xiaogang。Its a story about love and life。The hero is a Chinese man who struggles hard in the US。One day ,he meets a girl from Beijing。The two share the same goal：making their fortun
42、es in America。After a series of ups and downs，they fail to realize their dreams。But，they finally fall in love with each other and decide to go back to China to make a brand mew start。 Feng is good at providing humorous and simple lines with deep and strongly felt meaning。As far as the audience is co
43、ncerned，it was acceptable and interesting。And the leading actor and actress showed superior performances。They cooperated so well and acted so naturally that it seemed they were truly a pair of lovers.From the simple but moving story，I got a lot。Besides money and fame，there are many other beautiful t
44、hings worth pursuing（追求）and loving.Good stories and actors are what the audience desire。Whether Chinese New Years movies will last in the New Years film market depends mostly on the filmmakers attitude towards movie production. I hope that in the coming new year，I can spend several hours in a cinema
45、 enjoying a good movie instead of just chatting with my friends to escape a boring movie.（ ）61From the passage we know_。A. the author thinks highly of the present New Years moviesB. the author are complaining of some New Years moviesC. people dont need New Years movies nowD. none of New Years movies
46、 are well produced（ ）62In the opinion of the author，New Years movie should solve the following problems except_。Alack of creationBlowquality of productionC directorscareful choices of actors and actressesDsimplicity（ ）63Ong of the things that make the author like the movie“Be There or Be Square”（Bu
47、Jian Bu San）is_。Ahumor，simplicity and satisfactory endBnature，enlightenment and sad backgroundCgood theme，good performances and a brand new startDcreation，good production and natural performances（ ）64.Filmmakersattitude to movie production will_。Amostly determine whether the New Years film market wi

49、s described in history books and movies like“Tora，Tora，Tora”。Elliott died on Saturday of complications（并发症）form a stroke（中风）,his family said。The former Army radar operator detected incoming Japanese aircraft on December 7，1941.He then gave a warning，but it was brushed aside。Nearly an hour later，the
50、enemy planes reached the US Navys fleet（舰队）in the harbour。In a 50year anniversary（周年）story，a reporter from the USs Associated Press told how Elliott and another soldier，Joseph L.Lockard，had been on duty that day since 4 am at Kahuku Point on the northern tip of Oahu Island，Hawaii。They had been famil

52、quarters，and the operators were told it was a flight of B17 Flying Fortresses due in from California。They kept tracking for practice，and the blip grew so large that Lockard figured the set was broken。They turned it off at 7:45,after the blip disappeared behind Oahus mountains.About 10minutes later，t
53、he first bombs were falling on the battleships in the harbour.Later that morning，then Elliott and Lockard arrived back at their base，they learned the significance of what they had observed.Elliott served in the Army until 1945,and then worked for New Jersey Bell Telephone for 33 years before retirin
54、g. In Later years，his warning at Pearl Harbour brought him reward。The actions of the radar operators were described in the 1970 movie “Tora，Tora，Tora，”and on television specials and in history books.（ ）65What made George E.Elliott Jr rewarded?AHis job BHis invention.

The rover sent back a few colour photos on Monday. The scientists were overjoyed by the success. Two of every three past purpose of landings on Mars

What more could you ask for? ”said Charles Elachi，director of NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory.|The first images from Spirit show a flat，winddamaged surface dotted with small rock

64、 for me。It is the time when I realize that the books my English teacher assigned（布置）to me are not going to read themselves and that I have a difficult month in front of me.You might think that I dont what to spend my summer reading ,but thats not the problem:I love reading .On the first day of my su
65、mmer holiday this year, I went to the library and got“A Gathering of Old Men”by AfricanAmerican writer Ernest Gaines. Ienjoyed it very much. I read all the magazines that my parents subscribe to（订阅）and spend about 30 minutes every day with the morning paper.So why do I hate summer reading for school
66、? Because the books on summer reading lists are often slowgoing and just uninviting （不吸引人）。Teachers and librarians dont understand that summer reading can be entertaining as well as educational. They choose books that a friend of my mothers calls“spinach books”：good for you ,but not much fun to take
67、 in .Every summer, I read them，hate them and get bitter about the experience.This bitterness started three years ago when Iwas about to begin high school。As preparation，my English teacher told me to read“The Age of Innocence”（纯青年代）by American author Edith Wharton，Im sure there are many people who en
68、joyed“The Age of Innocence”come might even say its their favourite book.But I dont think any of these people read it as a 14yearold boy on his summer vacation.“The Age of Innocence”is the story of a forbidden romance in New York 100 years ago.At 14,my only experience with romance was my love for bas
69、eball .I couldnt imagine being in love, much less being in love, much less being in love in 1900.“The Age of Innocence”was totally different to my life.Most of my required summer reading has been like thatbooks written in a style that plays up the adjectives and plays down the verbs。I guess teachers
70、 dont think exciting plots make for “good literature”,To me, though ,a good writer describes events and characters in a way that makes the reader want to know what happens next.If I were making up a summer reading list ,it would include“The Friends of Eddie Coyle”by George V.Higgins.“The Right Stuff
71、”by Tom Wolfe, and “Into Thin Air”by Jon Krakauer。These aer all books that have literary value but，just as important，can also entertain kids on vacation。If the teachers could stand a little fun in the books they assign，my Augusts would be a lot more enjoyable.（ ）71The author thinks he/she will have

We have a vast library of “golden old songs” classics, as well as the “latest pop songs”.For those of you who like a bit of background with your favorite music theres The History of Pop or The Road to Music. These two series bring you the language of pop music and information about th
93、e periods and the artists. If you want to hear the artists themselves, theres a new series called About the Big Hits. This is based on interviews with popular singers and song writers. They talk to us about the meanings and ideas behind the songs.If you want to understand the words to the big music
94、hits, Pop World is the program for you. After all its hard enough for native English speakers to understand most pop songs so, if English isnt your first language, you shouldnt be surprised if the words to many songs leave you in the dark.15 ABBAA 610 ACBCA 1115 BBCBA 1620 ACCBC 2125 BCCBC 2630 DACA

96、which means water plays a very important part in our everyday life. We cant live without water. But to our sadness, the lack of water in some parts of the world is frightening and some people still waste it carelessly. Also, the limited water resources are not equally used in the world. Forturnately the government has begun to take measures against it. It will help a lot , but it is farfrom enough. Its hoped that everyone should make better use of it and not waste it. Lets value water, lets value our lives.
