If so, you may have wondered how these things could happen without _37_the people in the film. The man who knows the _38_
16、 is the “special-effects” man. He has one of the most important jobs in the film _39_. He may be _40_ to create a flood or to make a battlefield explode. But he may also be told to create a _41_ effect which is much less exciting, though just as important to the success of the film. In a _42_ for on
17、e movie there was a big glass bowl _43_with water in which small fish _44_ swimming. The director of the movie_45_ the fish to stop swimming suddenly _46_ they seemed to stare at(盯着) an actor.

19、icity allowing the fish to be free. _53_ he got the humorous effect the director wanted. _54_in other parts of movie making there are those who have developed _55_ skill in creating certain kinds of effects.

23、ay in May, and Fathers Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathe
24、rs. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care. These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mothers Day people wear carnations. A red one stands for a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious servi
25、ces(宗教仪式) to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves. On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. They often have outdoor BBQs for Fathers Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories. Another tradition is to give cards
26、and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephones companies and
27、 other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.56.Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A Parents bring childrenB Parents give love and care to childrenC Parents educate children to be good persons.D Parents pass away before children grow up57.What do you
28、know from the passage?A Mothers Day and Fathers Day are both in May.B Fewer women worked outside the home in the pastC Not all the children respect their parentsD Fathers are not as important as mothers at home58.Which do you think is right about “carnation”?A It only has two kinds of color.B It is
29、a special kind of clothes people wear on Mothers Day or Fathers Day.C Its a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.59.What do you think “florists” do?A They sell flowersB They made bread or pastryC They offer enough room for having f
30、amily parties.D They sell special clothes for Mothers Day and Fathers Day.B Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the l
31、anguage he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other peoples. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycleThey compare their own performances w
32、ith those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake. If it is a matter in mathematics or science, g
33、ive him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time in such routine(日常的) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to m
34、easure their own understanding, how to know what he does not know.60.According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by_.A listening to skilled peoples advice.B asking older people many questionsC making mistakes and having them correctedD doing what other people do61.Which of
35、 the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do?.A Give children correct answersB Allow children to mark mistakes.C Point out childrens mistakes to them.D Let children mark their own work62.According to the writer, teachers in school should _A allow children to learn from each otherB poi
36、nt out childrens mistakes whenever foundC correct childrens mistakes as soon as possibleD give children more book knowledge63.The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are_A different from learning other skillsB the same as learning skillsC more important than other
37、skillsD not really important skills64.The title of this passage could probably be_A Let Us Teachers Stop WorkB Let Us Make Children LearnC Let Children Correct Their ExercisesD Let Children Learn by ThemselvesC That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, wal
38、king home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both ac
39、ting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers(抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under
40、blankets. About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment b
41、uilding and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasnt cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where Id heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowher
42、e to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck(垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an
43、 amused look in his eyes. “Is this what youre looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape. It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldnt get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldnt
44、 be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.65.How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A Cold and sickB Lucky and hopefulC Satisfied and cheerfulD Disappointed and helpless66.From the first paragraph, we learn that the writer was busy_.A solving her problem
45、 at the bankB taking part in various city activitiesC learning acting in an evening schoolD preparing for the first night show67.On her way home the writer_A lost her wallet unknowinglyB was stopped by a garbage truck driverC was robbed of her wallet by a man with a knifeD found some homeless people
46、 following her68.In the fifth paragraph, why did the writer say she was dreaming?A Someone offered to take her back homeB A red-haired man came to see her.C She heard someone call her nameD Her wallet was found in a garbage truck69.From the text, we can infer that the writer_A would stop working at
47、nightB would stay on in San FranciscoC would make friends with cleaners.D would give up her job at the bankDBringing Art into Hospitals. The medical world is slowly realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play an important role in helping patients to recover(康复). As part of a
48、nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the museums and into public places, some of the countrys best artists have been called in to change older hospitals and to soften the hard, modern buildings. Of the 2500 national health service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have collections of
49、art in passages(走廊), waiting areas and treatment rooms. These recent movements were first started by one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should b
50、e enjoyed by more people. A common hospital waiting room might have as many as 5000 visitors each week. What a good place to hold exhibitions(展览) of art! Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britains first
51、hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates. The effect is amazing. Now in the passages and waiting rooms the visitors experience a full view of fresh colors, playful images(形象) and restful courtyards. The quality of the environme
52、nt may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that a patient who had a view onto gardens needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with(与相比) patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.70.Some best artists
53、of Britain have been called in to_A set up new hospitalsB make the corners of hospital collect paintingsC bring art into hospitalsD help patients recover from serious illness71.After the improvement of the hospital environment, _A patients no longer take drugs to kill their painsB patients dont have
54、 to stay long in hospitalC patients need fewer pain killers when they suffer from an illnessD patients feel happy in hospital72.It can be inferred from the passage that_A the role of hospital environment is being recognizedB hospital artists have done more than doctorsC exhibitions attract more peop
55、le in hospitals than in museumsD the hospitals is a better place for people than the museum in BritainE Before Nicholas Clapp got there, he had half hoped that he might run into some of Ubars ruins sticking(凸出) out of the sand. But finding the city wasnt that easy. During the summer, he and his 40 h
56、elpers dug at 35 different spots. The only things they found were ground spiders, giant ticks, and deadly snakes. Just before Thanksgiving says Clapp, “We were within a whisker of total failure.” But then Clapps team looked at the high-tech maps again and saw something surprising. Many of the carava
57、n routes(沙漠商队路线)on the high-tech maps came together on the same spot marked “Omani Marketplace” on Ptolomys map. Two maps, made almost 2000 years apart, pointed the team toward the same area! In December 1991, Clapp arrived at the spot where, according to the maps, the caravans met. Clapp had a hand
58、held instrument that could detect(探测) objects below the ground. It showed ruins under the sand! He and his team started digging. And then they found it! A tower buried in the sand. They slowly unearthed a giant, eight-sided fortress(堡垒). It had nine towers and many rooms. People had lived in this fo
59、rtress 2000 years ago. Outside its walls, they had found buried remains of nearly 40 campsites. They seemed to be camping areas for traders(商人). More digging found shards, or pieces of pottery(陶瓷) from ancient Rome, Greece, China, Egypt, and Syria. Diggers and scientists agree that people were here
60、for about 5000 years. Clapp and his team were excited as they continued to discover more pieces of the past that seemed to prove that it was the lost city of Ubar. “We started with this hopeless myth(神秘),” says Clapp, “and then finally found the truth behind the myth.” But is this unearthed site rea
61、lly the once-great Ubar? Experts arent totally persuaded. Donald Whitcomb is an archeologist(考古学家) at the University of Chicago. He doubts that Clapp really discovered Ubar. “Theres probably some truth to this myth,” he says. “But Ubar is described as a place with walls all made of gold, and the rub
62、ies and emeralds(宝石).” No gold or precious stones have been found by Clapp. “Im not sure whether they discovered Ubar because Im not sure if Ubar really existed,” Whitcomb says.73.The following statements are true according to the reading EXCEPT_.A Clapp made this discovery with the help of caravan
63、routes on the mapsB Clapp made this discovery with the help of some high technologyC Clapp was not sure that he had found Ubar D Donald Whitcomb was not sure if Clapp had found Ubar74.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined part?A We were ready for any failureB We were on the
64、point of giving up hopesC We would never stop digging though there was difficulty.D We decided that we had failed to find Ubar.75.It can be inferred from the reading that Nicholas Clapp is _A a person of courageB a person of determinationC a very young personD a person who is good for nothing第二卷听取信息

And once my parents listened to the radio for news and other information, but now we watch the news and other programs on TV. Another big change is in the housing conditions. When they got married about twenty years ago, my parents lived in a small room crowded with furniture, but now we have moved into a big new three-room apartment. In short, changes in our life in the past twenty years have brought us comfort and convenience.(98 words)
