1.When you think of the cinema,the phrase"watching a movie"probably comes to mind,and,in fact,moviemakers work very hard to make their films interesting visually (視覺上).But movies also contain stories,dialogues,music,and sound effects-things that people don't need to see in order to enjoy.
Movie reviewer Marty Klein has created a website called Blindspots to help visually impaired (損壞的) people choose movies that they can follow without the help of an assistant to explain what is happening on the screen.Klein gives movies a rating from 1to 10based on several factors.A movie receives a high rating if there are only a few main characters whose voices are easy to recognize.Klein also likes an interesting story without too many changes in time and place.A large amount of dialogue between the characters is better than long silences or noisy action scenes.
Of course,blind or visually impaired people can enjoy many films with help from a friend who doesn't mind explaining the parts of a movie that can only be seen.But that means that someone is talking during the movie,which could annoy some audience members.It also means that blind people cannot go to the movies independently.To solve these problems,some movie theaters have begun to offer recorded audio descriptions of the movements,scenery,and special effects that other audience members can see on the screen.Blind moviegoers receive a wireless headset to wear during the movie.This allows them to listen to the narration while still hearing a movie's music and other sounds that surround them in the theater.
Another blind movie reviewer,Jay Forry,writes movie reviews that are published on his website,Blindside Reviews.He also writes for newspapers and is a guest on radio shows.Forry gives movies one of five ratings,including,"So good,blind people will like it"and"I'm glad I couldn't see it."Forry became a writer after going blind at the age of 28and deciding to go to college.His first articles appeared in the college newspaper,and Forry's writing skills and sense of humor are what keep people reading his reviews or listening to them on the radio.After"watching"The Sixth Sense,F(xiàn)orry commented that he thought the movie was excellent,but that he envied the boy who was the main character:"He had six senses,and I only have four."

53.What is the main idea of the article?A
A.Marty Klein and Jay Forry write movie reviews for blind people and help them.
B.There are several problems about blind people bringing assistants to the movies.
C.Many blind people do not enjoy going to movies for their impaired vision.
D.Movie reviews and new technology are making it easier for blind people to enjoy movies.
54.Which movie might receive a good rating from Marty Klein?C
A.An action film with many fighting scenes.
B.A drama that often changes between the past and the present.
C.A comedy with four main characters and lots of conversation.
D.A space adventure with many explosions and special effects.
55.Why does the writer include this quotation:"He had six senses,and I only have four."?B
A.To show Forry's sense of humor.
B.To compare Forry to the boy in the movie.
C.To present Forry's envy of the boy in the movie.
D.To recommend the movie The Sixth Sense to readers.

On hearing this,the little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted,crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace.He looked up at the store owner and softly replied,"Well,I don't run so well myself and the little puppy will need someone who understands!"

6.American society is not nap(午睡)friendly.In fact,says David Dinges,a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine."There's even a ban against admitting we need sleep."Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work.A proverb says:"Some sleep five hours,nature requires seven,laziness nine and wickedness(邪惡) eleven."
Wrong!The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them."We have to totally change our attitude toward napping,"says Dr William Dement of Stanford University,the godfather of sleep research.
Last year a national commission(委員會(huì)) led by Dement put forward an"American sleep debt"which one member said was as important as the national debt.The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness:people causing industrial accidents of falling asleep while working.This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House.According to recent reports,our President is trying to take a half-hour nap every afternoon.
About 60percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity.We seem to have"a mid-afternoon quiet state",or"a secondary sleep gate".Sleeping 15minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed.Clearly,we were born to nap.
We Superstars of Napping don't nap just to make up for the lost sleep after a night shift(夜班).Rather,we take it,whenever,wherever and at whatever time we feel like it.I myself have napped in buses,cars,planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries,offices and museums.

56.It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep isA.
A.unbearable B.unfit      C.harmful      D.unfriendly
57.The research done by the Dement commission shows thatC.
A.Americans who sleep too much usually get into debts
B.the commission blamed the national debts on people's sleep
C.not enough sleep is no good for Americans and their country
D.napping at work has caused America many industrial and traffic accidents
58.The writer writes this passage in order toD.
A.warn us of the risks of napping
B.show us the dangers of sleeplessness
C.introduce a national commission on sleepiness in America
D.convince the readers of the necessity of napping
59.From the passage,we can learn that"American sleep debt"is the result ofA.
A.the wrong attitude the Americans traditionally hold toward sleep
B.the sleep policy made by the American government
C.the rapid development of American industry
D.the Americans'worry about the dangers of sleepiness
60.The last paragraph tells us that it isD.
A.preferable to have a sound sleep after a night shift
B.good practice not to nap at work
C.essential to make up for lost sleep
D.natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for it.

13.We Chinese are not big huggers.A handshake or a pat on the shoulder is enough to convey our friendship or affection to one another.So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out in preparation for a hug,some of us feel awkward.Many questions go through our head.Where should I put my arms?What distance should I maintain?Should our chests touch?
But it isn't just people from cultures that are conservative in expressing physical contact who find hugging confusing.Hugs can cause discomfort or even distress in people who value their personal space.
In a recent article for The Wall Street Journal,US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a"medium touch"culture,Americans do seem to be hugging more.From politicians to celebrities,hugs are given to friends,strangers and enemies alike,whether they are willing or not;and the public has been quick to pick up the practice.
Public figures know that nothing expresses likeability(親和力)like a good hug.US First Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign leaders like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the Queen of England.Pop superstar Lady Gaga is also a hug enthusiast,telling her fans that"I will always,always,try my very best to wrap my arms around you when I meet you."
But not all are grateful to be hugged,even by the most influential and famous.To them,any hug is offensive if it's not sincere.Amanda Hess,writing for US magazine Slate,says public figures should stop imposing hugs on everyone they meet.For them,a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship,compassion or affection.It's all part of a show.

28.Chinese people don't enjoy hugs becauseA.
A.they are conservative in physical touch
B.they don't know how to hug correctly
C.they think a handshake is the best way to convey friendship
D.they feel awkward to communicate with westerners
29.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase"pick up the practice"?B
A.Enjoy the medium touch culture.    B.Follow the trend.
C.Give hugs to enemies.              D.Resist physical touch.
30.Public figures like giving hugs toD.
A.obtain public support    B.show sincere friendship
C.express enthusiasm       D.win fellowship or affection
31.What can we learn from the last paragraph?D
A.People are grateful to hugs of any kind.
B.A hug is a gesture of friendship.
C.A famous person's hug is usually sincere.
D.An insincere hug is a part of show.

10.閱讀下面短文并回答問題,然后將答案寫到答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上(請(qǐng)注意問題后的詞數(shù)要求).
[1]The health of our children and young people matters to us,and it matters to them.We should help them understand what makes and keeps them healthy and what to do when they have worries,are not feeling so good,or are simply ill.
[2]While health promotion,the process of enabling people to manage and improve their own health,plays a key role.a(chǎn) key significant and early point of private contact with health services for a teenager is their GP.While GPs continue to improve in terms of their confidence and ability to make a child patient feel comfortable,it is not yet a guaranteed good experience for teenagers-they may not always.while talking to a doctor and some express feeling embarrassed while seeking advice from their GP
[3]Thus,two changes are required  Firstly,better professional development.GPs do have some training in child development but it is not enough After all,learning how to talk to 12-18 year olds,and even more importantly,how to listen to what they have to say and encourage them to speak up; and to be confident that they understand what is said to them before they leave,takes time  Secondly,we can include young people as the"teachers"here to help GPs learn how to interact effectively with their younger patients.GPs would benefit from feedback about their manners,the quality and simplicity of their communication and their way of explaining treatments and next steps-going beyond theory to learning by doing.
[4]In addition.children and young people are those with the time and energy to put into making our communities healthy.As enthusiastic learners,teenagers contribute through voluntary activities far more than adults and are deeply interested in the health services.And in doing so they are able to educate themselves in ways which can change lives.
76.What's the author's purpose of writing this passage?(no more than 15 words )To give suggestions on how to help children/teenagers improve their health
77.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words.(no more than 3 words)
feel comfortable/be comfortable/be relaxed/take things easy/take it easy
78.What's the meaning of the underlined word"interact"in Paragraph 3?(no more than 3 words)communicate/exchange ideas/have a talk
79.Complete the following statement according to Paragraph 4.(no more than 5 words)Young people can make contributions to the health services byParticipating in/taking part in voluntary activities 
80.Du you think teenagers should participate in the health services?State your reasons.(no more than 20 words)yes,I do.Because health services are important to teenagers and the best way of promotion is learning by doing.

11.Most of the time,people wear hats to protect themselves from harsh weather conditions.Hats are also worn to show politeness and as signs of social position.But nowadays,hats,especially women's hats,are much more than that.More exactly,hats have changed into fashion and style symbols by many movie stars.What's more,people now consider many different features (特點(diǎn))when choosing even a simple hat.Many designers point out that,when choosing the right hat,it's important to consider the color of your skin as well as your hair,your height,and the shape of your face.

First of all,the color of the hat should match the color of your skin and hair.For instance,black hats should be avoided if you are dark skinned.If a purple hat is placed on top of red hair,one will look as attractive as a summer flower.Second,the height of the hat is also an important point.Tall women should not go for hats with tall crowns,just as short women should choose hats with upturned brims to give the look of height.Third,and most importantly,the shape of the face decides the kind of hat one should pick.A small,gentle hat that fits the head looks good on a small face.However,women with big,round faces should choose a different style.

As the saying goes,"Fine feathers make fine birds."A good hat can not only help your dress but also support your features,so why not choose the best possible one next time you want to be in public?
44.What does the underlined word"harsh"in Paragraph 1 probably mean?C
A.good           B.strange         C.poor            D.different
45.According to the article,which of the following women would look most attractive?B
A.A big-faced woman who wears a small,nice hat.
B.A short red-haired woman who wears a purple hat.
C.A tall woman who wears a hat with a huge upturned brim.
D.A small dark-skinned woman who wears a black hat with a tall crown.
46.What does the last paragraph suggest?B
A.Hats are worn on the head to keep warm.
B.Hats can help you look better in public.
C.Hats are not as important as character.
D.Hats can make you look much taller.
47.What is the best title for the article?C
A.How to Show Your Social Position        
B.How to Improve Your Features
C.How to Choose a Proper Hat             
D.How to Design a Nice Hat.
