     Teachers spend countless years trying to make history come alive for their students. However, US Director
Shawn Levy tries to do this on film in the recently released (發(fā)行) Night at the Museum.
     The film is adapted from Milan Trenc's book of the same name. It brings to life a world where dinosaurs
wander the earth, a former president rides again, warlike early Asians return, and cowboys and Roman soldiers
seek to bring back their old goals.
     The familiar comedy star Ben Stiller acts as a luckless dreamer named Larry Daley. He takes a position(職
位) as night watchman at the New York Museum of Natural History.
     On Larry's first night, he's left alone by the three aging guards he's replacing. They fail to inform him of
the museum's rather unusual nightlife.
     Soon Larry finds himself chased(追逐) down the hallways by the very lively skeleton(骨架, 骷髏) of a
dinosaur, in the middle of a confrontation(交鋒) with Asian warriors. He is caught in a battle between a
cowboy and a Roman general and meets face-to-face with former US president Teddy Roosevelt, played by
Robin Williams.
      They are each from an exhibit that has come to life through the magic of a priceless Egyptian tablet(藥
片).
      While the film fails to develop very much in some areas (for example, Larry's troubled relationship with a
son), it does have enough special effects, and jokes to amuse the audience.
     Bottom Line: Definitely not Oscar-worthy, but a great way to relax during a holiday.
1.The purpose of this passage is to ________.
A. introduce a book called Night at the Museum
B. introduce a movie called Night at the Museum
C. made known a US director Shawn Levy

2. We can know from the first paragraph that _________.
A. teachers don't do well in their jobs
B. a director can do a better job than teachers
C. people can learn some history through a film
D. all history classes should be stopped
3. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. The film has the same name as the book.
B. Larry Daley is a character in the film.
C. Teddy Roosevelt was once a US president.
D. All magic Egyptian tablets are on exhibition.
4. On Larry's first night in the film, ________.
A. three aging guards are involved in a battle
B. he doesn't know the unusual nightlife beforehand(預先)
C. a Roman general plays many jokes on a cowboy
D. he is caught by a wandering dinosaur

閱讀下列短文, 從每題所給的四個選項 (A、B、C和D) 中, 選出最佳選項
A New Zealand fishermen caught what may prove to be a world-record-breaking colossal squid(魷魚).
In the cold, dark waters of the Antarctic hides a creature with eight arms, two super long tentacles(觸須) and eyes as big as dinner plates. Sound like something out of a science fiction movie? Think again.
On February 21, New Zealand fishermen landed a colossal squid the length of a school bus. They had been fishing with long lines for Chilean sea bass in the waters off the coast of New Zealand when they caught the rare squid. With two hours of hard work, the crew skillfully pulled the creature into a net and dragged in aboard their ship.
Scientists evaluate that the animal weighs about a half ton and is about 40 feet long. That would make this colossal squid the biggest on record.
First identified in 1925 after two tentacles were found in a whale’s stomach, the colossal squid has long been a mystery. The animals are not easy to observe because they can go down to ocean depths of 6,500 feet. What scientists do know from studying the bodies of a half dozen colossal squids is that they are fierce hunters.
The recently captured colossal squid has been frozen to keep it for scientific study. It will be transported to New Zealand’s national museum, Te Papa, in the capital city of Wellington. Experts believe it to be the first adult male ever caught undamaged. Scientists hope to learn more about the colossal squid’s diet, behavior and reproductive(繁殖)patterns.
“Scientists will be very interested in this amazing creature, ”said New Zealand Fisheries Minister Jim Anderson. “It adds immeasurably to our understanding of the marine environment. ”
1. Why is it usually difficult for experts to observe the squid?
A. Because it moves too fast                       B. Because it is too large.
C. Because it is dangerous.                      D. Because it can go down to deep ocean.
2. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The squid is from a science fiction story 
B. The fishermen often meet colossal squids
C. Scientists know much about the colossal squid. 
D. The fishermen had some difficulty catching the large squid.
3. What’s the purpose of catching such a huge squid?
A. To make it into food  B. To set a world record 
C. To do research on it  D. To display it for visitors
4. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The biggest squid ever found                      B. Scientific research on squid
C. The lifestyle of the colossal squid         D. How the fishermen caught the squid
