題目列表(包括答案和解析)

The blockbuster film Titanic has brought millions of dollars and thousands of people to the theaters and continues to touch people today in their homes. Why is this film so successful? It is a combination of many different things. Among these are many different elements. Looking at some of these elements will show how the director and others involved were able to create an emotionally charged movie that appealed to millions.
The film uses one thematic(主題的) element called - The Truth of Human Nature. The two main characters seem to represent noble people. Most of the other characters in the film are shown as non-tolerant, rude and cold-hearted people. The element of focusing on the two main characters' love and emotion seems symbolic of an ideal state.
There are also social problems addressed. This is done in a few different ways. The most noticeable way is that the lower class people remain locked in the basement as the ship goes down. Throughout Titanic, the lighting is very important. The poor, lower class people are always shown in very warm-coloured light that gives them a sense of life and happiness. On the other hand, the rich, upper class are always shown in a flat light portraying the feeling of hardness and coldness. By using these techniques, they show the issue of class segregation(種族隔離), and they create stereotypes. The main characters are able to break free of these stereotypes and be together. This is the solution to the segregation problem.
As you can see, Titanic took a lot of thinking and preparation to film in a manner that would create emotion and bring to the surface the issues and story of the great ship.
【小題1】The underlined word “blockbuster” in the first paragraph probably means “________”.

A.something very successful
B.a(chǎn) highly explosive bomb
C.something worth a lot of money
D.a(chǎn) touching story
【小題2】In Titanic, the scene of the lower class people remaining locked in the basement as the ship goes down is used to ________.
A.criticize non-tolerant and cold-hearted rich people
B.enlarge the scene of the film
C.make the film more attractive
D.emphasize the condition of the poor at that time
【小題3】Why were different colours of light used in the film Titanic? ________
A.They were used to show the difference between the rich and the poor.
B.The director was determined to achieve good visual effect.
C.The social status was represented by the color of light in the past.
D.The use of light was the main technique the director made use of.
【小題4】What can we infer from the passage? _________
A.The segregation problem in the society can be solved by using the light.
B.Though love is the main theme of Titanic, it also reflects some social problems.

Go ahead,talk to your dog.
As many a dog owner will prove, our furry friends are listening. Now, for the doubters, there is scientific proof that they understand much of what they hear. A border collie called Rico can fetch at least 200 objects by name, researchers in Germany say. The dog also appears to learn words for new objects as easily as a 3-year-old child would. Its word-learning skill is as good as that of a parrot or chimpanzee.
In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them randomly into 20 sets of 10 objects each. The dog waited with one of his owners in one room, while an experimenter put a set of 10 objects into another room. Then, the owner told the dog to fetch one of the items. The dog had to go to the other room and bring the object back.
In four trials, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. Because the dog couldn't see anyone to get visual clues about what to bring back, the scientists concluded that he must understand the meanings of certain words.
In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names he already knew. The dog's owner then told him to fetch the object, using a word Rico had never heard.
In 7 out of 10 trials, Rico picked the right object, suggesting that he figured out the answer by process of elimination. A month later, he remembered half of the new names, which further impressed the researchers.
Rico is probably smarter than the average dog, the scientists say. For one thing, he's a border collie, a breed known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to retrieve toys by their names since he was 9 months old.
It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your pup every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!
48.The passage is probably taken from a book on _____
A.pets B.environment    C.culture     D.nutrition
49.It is implied that ____
A.Rico is probably cleverer than the average dog
B.Only a few dogs can talk back to its owner
C.if a chimpanzee is trained ,it can also recognize the names of objects
D.All dogs can understand words
50.How long is it since Rico’s owner began to train him?
A.nine months  B.3years    C.over nine years      D.more than eight years
51.Rico can do all the following except _____
A.understanding the meanings of certain words.
B.picking the right object by process of elimination
C.remembering all of the new names he learned    D.retrieving toys by their names

The day before Father’s Day, Mrs. Berry asked her students to __36 ___ a card for their fathers. She passed out paper and pieces of cloth.
Elizabeth looked for a while at the blue cloth and began to cut it. Then she  folded (折)her paper in half and began writing. When Elizabeth finally looked at the message the teacher gave on the paper, she noticed something else. She felt her   37  grow hot — she hadn’t heard that anyone who didn’t have a father could make one for a grandfather or an uncle.
As her teacher walked to her, Elizabeth tried  38 her card with her arm, but Mrs Berry gently  39 it so that she could read it. Elizabeth sat  40 , waiting for her to say something, but she saw a  41 roll down Mrs Berry’s face. She had never made Mrs Berry so upset.

46 are you talking about?” asked Mrs Berry.
“My Father’s Day card. I know you’re upset because I didn’t do it  47 .”
“Elizabeth, that was the  48  card in the whole class. It was so  49  that it made me cry.”
Elizabeth was so  50 that she ran out of the classroom.
When her mom came home from work that night, Elizabeth  51 to give her the card early.
On the front of the card was a  52 of Elizabeth’s mom, with a blue piece of cloth cut like her hair. Inside the card she had written:
Dear Mom,
I know you work really hard to be both a mommy and a(n)  53 . I want to thank you and  54 you a happy Father’s Day!
Love,
Elizabeth
When her mom read the card she started  55 , just like Mrs Berry did.

Imagine, one day, getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours, and then, after a full day of work, going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.
Sounds unusual, doesn't it? But it's not that unrealistic, with the development of China’s high-speed railway system. And that’s not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan— to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and eventually Eastern Europe.
China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, eventually reaching London and Singapore.
China has proposed three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.
If China’s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two days.
The new system would still follow China’s high-speed railway standard. And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanes.
China’s bullet train (高速客車), the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the world’s fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours.
Of course, there are some technical challenges to overcome. There are so many issues that need to be settled, such as safety, rail gauge (軌距), maintenance of railway tracks. So, it’s important to pay attention to every detail.
But the key issue is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion.
China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment. Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development.
It’ll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business, tourism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those countries.
For China, such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop China’s far west. We foresee that in the coming decades, millions of people will migrate to the western regions, where the land is empty and resources unused. With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And they’ll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.
【小題1】China’s new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because _______.

A.China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regions
B.China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways
C.China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries
D.the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation, business and tourism
【小題2】According to the passage, the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is _______.
A.technical issuesB.safety of the system
C.financial problemsD.maintenance of railway tracks
【小題3】Which of the following words best describes the author’s attitude towards China’s high-speed railway plan?
A.Critical.B.Reserved.C.DoubtfulD.Positive.

Do dogs understand us?
Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.
A border collie博德牧羊犬 named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).
In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.
In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.
The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by the process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.          
Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品種)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.
It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!

Since China has become a member of WTO, the price of cars has been going down. More and more families have got or are thinking of buying cars. There are advantages and disadvantages of this. Automobile industry will develop with growing demand of cars. This will provide more job opportunities. More people will be employed in the car repairing. There will be more gas stations, too. And travel is made more convenient than before.

But the building of new roads takes a much longer time than the development of car industry. And many more cars require a much larger parking space. With more cars on the road the problem of air pollution will become even more serious. So I think people will have to think of a way to solve these problems before everything  gets out of control.
