How to become a better student 

Maybe you are an average（普通的；平常的）student with an average intellect．You probably think you will never be a top student．This is not necessarily so．Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to be．The following suggestions may be helpful to you.

1．

When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do．Be sure to set aside enough time to complete the work that you are normally assigned each week．Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy all of your free time．Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment, hobbies and relaxation.

2．

Look around the house for a good study area．Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything, but study materials．No radio or television．When you sit to work, concentrate/focus on the subject.

3．

This means looking a passage over quickly but thoroughly before you begin to read it more carefully．Scanning a passage lets you preview the material and get a general idea of the content．Scanning will help you double your reading speed and improve your comprehension.

4．

Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says．Real listening in class means less work later．Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

5．

When you get home from school, go over your notes．Review the important points that your teacher mentions and you will remember them longer.

Develop a good attitude about tests．The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject．Tests do more than just provide grades; they let you know what you need to study more, and they help to make your new knowledge permanent（長(zhǎng)久的；永久的）.

China has become an increasingly appealing market for Hollywood films, so it was inevitable that Academy Award-winning director James Cameron would touch down in Beijing Wednesday to promote his latest big-budget movie, Avatar.

During his 20-hour stay in the city, he shared with local media and some lucky fans details of his new film and shared his insights on China's growing film industry．

Having toured numerous countries for the promotion of Avatar since the film globally premiered on December 10, Cameron said he anticipated the visit to China for some time

and apologized for his hoarse and tired voice.

"It is so sad for a director not being able to shout," he joked at the beginning of the press conference Wednesday afternoon, announcing that the 3D science fiction film will open in China on January 4.

Cameron collected 360 million yuan （US$52.7 million） at the box office in China with his blockbuster Titanic in 1998, a record that held for ten years until it was broken by Transformers in 2008.

Considering that another computer-generated, live action flick, 2012, has sold more movie tickets in China than in the US, the director said he is positive about Avatar's performance in China.

"Our partner here, the China Film Group, has given us great confidence," he explained, saying that the number of 3D screens has grown from 500 to 600 in the past month, a never-seen-before growth in Chinese mainland.

China is second only to the US as the country with the most 3D screens．Cameron said the screening of Avatar in China has specific importance as a test of future 3D film development.

"I'm very interested in the 3D film market in China．I cannot predict the box office results here, but I look forward to the test results." 

1．Cameron is hopeful about Avatar’s performance in China because ____.

     A．Avatar is a newly-released 3D movie

     B．Transformer held the record of box office in China

     C．Avatar is directed by him alone

2．Which of the following has the closest meaning to “anticipated” in Paragraph 3?

     A．Participated.        B．Paid.                 C．Expected．        D．Delayed

3．The passage is most probably taken from ____.

     A．a(chǎn) science book       B．a(chǎn) newspaper       C．a(chǎn) story book     D．a(chǎn) magazine

4．Why did Cameron come to China?

     A．To promote his latest film Avatar.

     B．To test the future development of 3D film in China.

     D．To make a 20-hour trip in Beijing.

請(qǐng)仔細(xì)觀察下面兩幅圖畫(huà)，理解其含義，然后就“人與自然”這一話題寫(xiě)一篇英語(yǔ)短文。

注意：1．可適當(dāng)增加細(xì)節(jié)，以使行文連貫；

2．詞數(shù)：120左右。

We’ve used the wind as an energy source for a long time．The Babylonians and Chinese were using wind power to pump water for irrigating crops 4,000 years ago, and sailing boats were around long before that．Wind power was used in the Middle Ages, in Europe, to grind（磨碎） corn, which is where the term “windmill” comes from．

We can use the energy in the wind by building a tall tower, with a large propellor（螺旋槳） on the top．The wind blows the propellor round, which turns a generator to produce electricity．We tend to build many of these towers together, to make a “wind farm” and produce more electricity．The more towers, the more wind, and the larger the propellors, the more electricity we can make．It's only worth building wind farms in places that have strong, steady winds, although boats and caravans（大篷車(chē)）increasingly have small wind generators to help keep their batteries charged．

The best places for wind farms are in coastal areas, at the tops of rounded hills, open plains and gaps in mountains — places where the wind is strong and reliable．Some are offshore．To be worthwhile, you need an average wind speed of around 25 km/h．Most wind farms in the UK are in Cornwall or Wales．Isolated places such as farms may have their own wind generators．In California, several “wind farms” supply electricity to homes around Los Angeles．

The propellors are large, to obtain energy from the largest possible volume of air．The blades can be angled to cope with varying wind speeds．Some designs use vertical turbines （垂直渦輪機(jī)）, which don’t need to be turned to face the wind．The towers are tall, to get the propellors as high as possible, up to where the wind is stronger．This means that the land beneath can still be used for farming．

1．The first paragraph aims to introduce to us _______．

    A．the function of wind power            B．the source of wind power

    C．the nations using wind power             D．the history of using wind power

2．The best places for building the wind farm are places where _______．

    A．boats and caravans can often be seen    B．isolated farms don’t have enough electricity

    C．there are less human activities               D．the wind is strong and reliable

3．We can infer from the passage that _______．

    A．wind farms will not take up too much farming land

    B．wind farms need no fuel because wind is free

    C．the blades can be angled to turn to face the wind wherever it comes from

    D．the higher and larger the towers are, the stronger the wind is

4．What can be a suitable title for the passage?

      A．Where to build a wind farm．              B．ABC of the using of wind energy．

      C．How to make best use of wind．          D．Wind energy is the best energy．

1．Which one of the following activities requires the longest time to complete?

     A．Fun in Mandarin

     A．Baking Workshop                       B．Lollipops Life Science

  C．Flower anti Card Making                D．Kids’ Dining Etiquette course

3．Which of the following statements is true?

     A．Participators need not bring any materials for the activities．

     B．All activities are aimed at primary school children only．

     C．All participants will receive a free gift upon registration．

     D．All activities are organized throughout the year．

4．A couple with three children aged 6, 9 and 14 want them to attend the same activities together．The number of activities they can attend is_______ ．

l         Putting Movies on Mobiles

Movies in the theater get their recognition at awards ceremonies such as the Oscars．But how about movies for phones? They are getting their turn at MoFilm — the first mobile film festival.

The first MoFilm competition received 250 entries from more than 100 countries．Entries were restricted to films that were five minutes or less in length — ideal for viewing and sharing on mobile phones．An independent jury then selected a shortlist of five film-makers．The winner was chosen from the shortlist by an audience voting using their phones.

l         New Platforms

The awards highlight the increasing impact that mobile phones are making in the entertainment industry．Many grassroots filmmakers start out with short films．They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work．Therefore, mobile phones are increasingly being seen as a new platform for these short works.
　　It is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a way to have that expression be seen by a wide audience．Just think about how many people have mobile phones in the world!

l         New Technology Advances

MoFilm is pioneering content for mobile and online services that is a world away from Hollywood．The majority of films made for mobiles are now short in length, taking into account the screen size．However this could be overcome as technology advances.
　　In the near future, longer films will likely be seen on the mobile phone．And there are mobile companies creating phones where users can watch movies at higher quality．

Wherever you see movies, one thing is certain: the quality of work, the simple ability at story telling, and the thing that inspires someone to tell a story can really come from anywhere.

A．movies in the theater got their recognition
