15、y, making history as the first movie from a black director to win the film industrys highest honor in 86 years of the Oscars. Can anyone tell me your ideas about this movie? Great Martin“12 Years a Slave is a surprisingly underwhelming movie. It is more of a string of pictures about several heartles
16、s and evil white men(and women) who are just mean without the motivation of running a plantation on their minds. There is very little character development and most of the film relies on what the audience already knows and feels about slavery. “ Gemini JeffNever have I been stunned into an emotional
17、 silence after watching a film in the theater. Ive come out of films before thinking, My god, that was unbelievable, like when I saw The Lord of the Rings for the first time, but this film just hits you on another level entirely. You sit there after its over, wondering if what youve just experienced
18、 is real. The day after, you feel the same. “ Paul Johnson“This movie is just an average movie about slavery. Are you kidding me, segregation movies are a dime a dozen and this movie beat out Gravity for Golden Globes? Gravity has never been done before. 12 Years a Slave I watched once and will neve
19、r watch again. I watched Gravity 5 times and still love it. Emma Smith“This movie was realistic and engaging at every second. Even the dramatic pauses were worthwhile and definitely not a waste of time. The script inferred and hinted at events rather than just plain saying them, and that was genius.

23、se. D. It amazes the audience with its special effects. B One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopele
24、ss”, “pitiful”, and “dying”, which sounded ominous. “Though Christmas is coming, dont expect any presents this year.” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. Id never seen him cry before. The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroo
25、m I heard him say. “ What? Hes all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs, “The hospital said we canould bring Richard home! “ “Thank god!” I heard Mum cry. From the window upstairs, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderf

Memories of a happy family.C Franz Kafka wrote that “a book must be the ax (斧子) for the frozen sea inside us.” I once shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didnt seem to require any explanat
29、ion.Wed just finished John Steinbecks novel Of Mice and Men. When we read the end together out loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I. “Are you crying?” one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. “I am,” I told her, “and the funn
30、y thing is that Ive read it many times.”But they understood. When George shoots Lennie, the tragedy is that we realize it is always going to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York city public middle school, Ive taught kids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irresponsible parents; ki
31、ds who are parents themselves; kids who are homeless; kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods. They understand, more than I ever will, the novels terrible logic the giving way of dreams to fate (命运).For the last seven years, I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher, reading classic works of l
32、iterature with small groups of students from grades six to eight. I originally proposed this idea to my headmaster after learning that a former excellent student of mine had transferred out of a selective high school one that often attracts the literary-minded children of Manhattans upper classes in
33、to a less competitive setting. The daughter of immigrants, with a father in prison, she perhaps felt uncomfortable with her new classmates. I thought additional “cultural capital” could help students like her develop better in high school, where they would unavoidably meet, perhaps for the first tim
34、e, students who came from homes lined with bookshelves, whose parents had earned Ph. D.s.Along with Of Mice and Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. The students didnt always read from the expected point of view. About The Red Pony, one student
35、 said, “Its about being a man; its about manliness.” I had never before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady Macbeths soliloquies (独白) read as raps (说唱), but both made sense; the interpretations were playful, but serious. Once introduced to Steinbecks writing, one bo
36、y went on to read The Grapes of Wrath and told me repeatedly how amazing it was that “all these people hate each other, and theyre all white.” His historical view was broadening, his sense of his own country deepening. Year after year, former students visited and told me how prepared they had felt i
37、n their first year in college as a result of the classes.Year after year, however, we are increasing the number of practice tests. We are trying to teach students to read increasingly complex texts, not for emotional punch (碰撞) but for text complexity. Yet, we cannot enrich (充实) the minds of our stu
38、dents by testing them on texts that ignore their hearts. We are teaching them that words do not amaze but confuse. We may succeed in raising test scores, but we will fail to teach them that reading can be transformative and that it belongs to them.39. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 probably mea
39、n that a book helps to _.A. realize our dreams B. give support to our life C. smooth away difficulties D. awake our emotions40. Why were the students able to understand the novel Of Mice and Men?A. Because they spent much time reading it.B. Because they had read the novel before.C. Because they came
40、 from a public school.D. Because they had similar life experiences.41. The girl left the selective high school possibly because_.A. she was a literary-minded girl B. her parents were immigrantsC. she couldnt fit in with her class D. her father was then in prison42. To the authors surprise, the stude
41、nts read the novels_.A. creatively B. passively C. repeatedly D. carelesslyDHolidays are really important. Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.But holidays are expensive and, for thos
42、e on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.For working parents, the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowanc
43、e amounts to only five weeks, there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some, this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experie
44、nced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of
45、 group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children, welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays, much of this is missed.While teachers are holidaying in the UK, many of their pupils spend the who
46、le six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.In setting out its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council
47、(委员会）is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. We believe this will give real “down time” for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in le
48、arning.We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.43. The underlined word “they” in the
49、second paragraph refers to “_”.A. environments B. holidays C. wages D. benefits44. It is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to _. A. 2 weeksB. 4.5 weeksC. 5 weeksD. 6 weeks45. The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students _.A. obtain the cheapest holidays without a
50、dditional costsB. get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in schoolC. benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environment D. have more school days to improve their study46. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for
51、their childrenB. the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried outC. the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real “down time”D. some school staff will say “No” to the plans for a shorter summer holiday EDo you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start
52、 yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently its because we have mirror neurons (神经元）in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate(模仿) it, whether or not
53、we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other peo
54、ple. Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they
55、gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much rese
56、arch suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders. Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information c
57、oncerning how humans behave and interact(互动). Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent(相等物) for neuroscience of what Einsteins theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else doeswell, perhaps youll understand why.47. Mirror neur
58、ons can explain _.A. why we cry when we are hurtB. why we cough when we suffer from a coldC. why we smile when we see someone else smileD. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late48. The underlined word “triggered” in the third paragraph probably means “_”.A. set offB. cut offC. built upD.
59、broken up49. We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _.A. relate to human behavior and interactionB. control human physical actions and feelingsC. result in bad behavior and social disordersD. determine our knowledge and language abilities50. What is the passage mainly about?A. Ways to fin
