4.On June 10,2003,I graduated from U of T,Scarborough.As I stood at University College waiting with hundreds of others,I suddenly felt overcome with emotion.My very long and personal journey to convocation had started 20 years earlier on the St.George campus.
I first enrolled at U of T through the Transitional Year Programme in 1983.At the time I was a 30-year-old mother of two girls and married to"the boy next door."I was both excited and terrified,and felt a little like Rita in the movie Educating Rita-traveling daily to classes in high heels.I decided that it would be better for my family if I attended classes closer to home,so I transferred to Scarborough for my second year.After picking up the girls from school,I'd bring them back to the studio where I rehearsed.Much to my horror,they would crawl around on the catwalks high above me.They were 10and 12and loved being at"Mom's school."
My life changed drastically that year.On June 10,1986,my husband of 13years was killed in a horrific accident.I picked up my life the best I could under the circumstances and returned to U of T,but failed to get all the credits I needed.Twenty years later,on the eve of my 50th birthday,I e-mailed an old professor,who encouraged me to sign up for a new class he was teaching about writing for the theatre.This time I made it all the way through.
As I stepped inside Convocation Hall,I searched the crowd for my girls,now in their thirties.They were in the highest balcony,waving frantically at me-just as they had done from the catwalk in my drama class so long ago.I will never forget the look on the girls faces as they called out"Hi Mom."I finally felt complete.

24.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word"convocation"in Paragraph 1?C
A.Birthday party.
B.College credits.
C.Graduation ceremony.
D.Drama class.
25.When the author graduated from U of T,she was probably aroundD years old.
A.twenty   B.thirty   C.forty   D.fifty
26.What do we know about the author's daughters?D
A.They helped her with housework when she attended college.
B.They played with her during her rehearsals.
C.They comforted her when she lost her husband.
D.They were proud of her success in the end.
27.Which word can best describe the author's attitude towards her studies?B
A.Curious.B.Persistent.C.Sympathetic.D.Optimistic.

25.D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段Twenty years later,on the eve of my 50th birthday,I e-mailed an old professor,who encouraged me to sign up for a new class he was teaching about writing for the theatre可知作者畢業(yè)是大概50歲;故選D.
26.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段They were in the highest balcony,waving frantically at me-just as they had done from the catwalk in my drama class so long ago可知作者的孩子對于作者的成就感到驕傲;故選D.
27.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章I e-mailed an old professor,who encouraged me to sign up for a new class he was teaching about writing for the theatre.This time I made it all the way through可知作者對她學(xué)習(xí)的態(tài)度是堅(jiān)持不懈的;故選B.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷..

Dear Sir,
 I'm writing to tell you thatWhether Middle School Students Can Carry Mobile phones (Cell-phones) at the class meeting.
Forty percent students agreed,for they thought it was convenient for them to communicate with their relatives and friends.(高分句型一) They also thought they could surf the Internet to search for some information and store some useful information in the m.Besides,they could play games for rest if they feel tired after a long time's study.
However,sixty percent of us were against it.They said the radiation of cell-phones was harmful to health,and the ringing sound did somewhat affect the cell-phone holders and others.(高分句型二)Also,cell-phones were luxurious things for middle school students and it was easy to lead them to compare with each other.
As far as I am concerned,I agree with the majority.It is not suitable for middle school students to have cell-phones.We can get in touch with others by other means and we can read more books to enrich ourselves.(高分句型三)
Best wishes.
Yours,
Kate.

16.The first time she saw Bryce Loski,she flipped.The first time he saw Juli Baker,he ran.For six years of living close by,they had played the same game of cat-and-mouse (Juli was the cat; Bryce was the unfortunate mouse).
For years Juli dreamed of one thing:her first kiss from the boy.Nothing else seemed to matter.But when Juli's favorite sycamore tree is threatened by developers,things begin to change.She begins to see things and places and people in a different light.Things,for years,she thought to be important,become things she can live without; and people she thought to be the center of her universe,become nothing more than a star in a faraway galaxy.
Things begin changing with Bryce also.It all begins with the eggs…which then cause a domino effect of changes with his relationships with his best friend,his father,the Bakers and,ultimately,Juli.
I had seen this book on the shelf at bookstores for years,but never bothered to pick it up because it looked to be another book from Jerry Spinelli (not exactly my favorite author in the world) and so,continually,I would walk past it without giving it a second glance.If by chance I had picked it up,I most likely would not have read it,since the summary on the back didn't seem too appealing.It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago that I heard about Flipped the movie.I read an interview with Callan McAuliffe (the actor who portrays Bryce) and thought that  Flipped was a romance right up my alley; cute,innocent and as far from Jane Austin as you could get.After reading the interview and a summary of the movie,I found the plot-line to be somewhat appealing and a definite breath of fresh air opposed to the dark material I have been recently reading and writing.I found the book a few days later in a Goodwill bookstore and finished it in three days.
The story isn't what you would consider deep…it isn't shallow and pointless either…I guess you could say it's the perfect balance of life-lessons and innocence.
You read about Bryce and Juli (each from their own points of view) and how,throughout six years,their lives and views and opinions change and develop.Flipped is somewhat of a coming of age story about two kids learning to see life from the other's point of view and learning that growing up isn't about staying the same,but changing; changing likes and dislikes; changing friends and crushes and views on family.
Uniquely written,every other chapter showing the same scenes and events,only from the other's point of view,you see how the saying,"Two sides to every story,"is true.You are able to see both Juli and Bryce's reasons for doing what they do and saying what they say…not just what the other sees.
It will be interesting to see how this writing style comes into play in the movie.Overall I thought this story was incredibly cute and light-hearted,although it didn't entirely meet my expectations.Especially the ending.I felt as though it ended quite abruptly and that there was more story that needed to be told.
But even with that,after having taken a step back and taken my mind off of Flipped,I find the story has stuck with me and stayed in the back of my mind,making me highly anticipate seeing this book turned to a film.I understand why it has been so popular for almost two decades and am looking forward to seeing Flipped on the big screen soon.

14.Families can be made up of all kinds of different people(or in this case,fish).That's the big idea behind the recently-released movie,F(xiàn)inding Dory.
Finding Dory is the sequel(續(xù)集)to the very popular movie Finding Nemo,which came out 14 years ago.Both are cartoon movies.
In Finding Dory,a forgetful blue fish named Dory becomes lost,and must be reunited with special people in her life.likeable Dory has short-term memory loss,which means that she can remember things that happened a long time ago,but can't remember things that just happened.It's a condition that causes trouble when she becomes lost,because she has trouble remembering directions like"turn left and then right."Thanks to her good friends like the fish named Nemo,and his father,Marlin,she finally finds her way back.
Finding Dory is a beautifully drawn film that is attractive to look at.And,although the title gives away some of the plot(情節(jié)),there are enough turns throughout the movie to make it interesting.
Much of the film takes place out of water---in a marine wildlife centre and even on a highway-so the filmmakers had to be very creative about finding ways for the fish to move from place to place.At one point,Dory is in a coffee pot full of water,carried by a very clever octopus(章魚).
Finding Dory has been very popular with audiences since it opened on June 8,2016.In fact,it has already made $136.2 million in ticket sales.
The characters in the film were"voiced"by popular actors including Ellen DeGeneres(a talk-show host) as Dory and Ty Burrell (Phil Dunphy on TV's Modern Family) as a Beluga whale.
Ellen DeGeneres has waited a"long,long,long,long,long,long time"for the next film in the Nemo series.She said in a media release from the film's creators,Disney/Pixar,"It's got a lot of heart,and it's really funny."

25.What is the purpose of the passage?B
A.To tell the readers about Dory
B.To introduce a film to the readers
C.To describe the plot of Finding Dory
D.To make a comparison between Finding Nemo and Finding Dory
26.Which statement is TRUE about Dory according to the passage?A
A.Dory becomes lost because of her memory loss
B.Dory's father,Marlin,helps her find her way back
C.Dory like to move from place to place
D.Dory's home is a coffee pot full of water
27.Finding Dory is popular with audiences mainly becauseC.
A.it's about a forgetful blue fish
B.it's the sequel to the movie Finding Nemo
C.it's a beautifully drawn film with many turns in it
D.the characters in the film were"voiced"by popular actors.
