     Movie magic can defy reality, but actors are inescapably human.They grow and change, and don't
necessarily change for the better.
     Harry Potter actors, who are now saying their final goodbyes to their roles, have all become
fully-fledged(成熟的) grown-ups, worlds apart from the little kids who began the Hogwarts' adventures
in 2001.
     While many fans feel sad that the magical franchise is coming to an end, some feel even sadder to see
how much the actors have changed over the years.
     "Daniel Radcliffe (who plays Harry Potter) went from being a really cute kid to a thin, pale-looking
guy," said Filipino Internet User Lealuvy."I kind of wish he stayed a kid forever.''
     Radcliffe himself doesn't seem to be bothered by his change of appearance.In an interview with GQ
magazine last week,
he teased himself: "If people find me sexy(性感的) or cool, it's because they like short, little, nerdy guys.
And we do have our niche(合适的职业)."
     Meanwhile, actors growing up to be handsome have their headaches.
     Harry Melling, who played Potter's cousin Dudley Dursley, told The Telegraph that he was almost
recast for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when producers discovered he' d lost a lot of weight
he had as a kid.He was too thin for the part.
     "They (the producers) did this double take, 'Oh my God, we are going to have to do something', and
I felt guilty," said Meiling.
     Aside from changes in looks, the gradual personality change of child stars is another big concern of
audience and producers.
     Miley Cyrus began her career at 13 in Disney's hit TV series Hannah Montana.
     When Cyrus decided to show her adult personality by releasing "sexy" photos, people began to get
uneasy about her.Reports said that furious Disney bosses were considering replacing Cyrus with a more
clean-cut teen star.
     Cyrus finally kept her role after public apologies.But some parents banned their children watching the
show.
     "My daughter has been banned from watching the show," supermodel Cindy Crawford told
Showbiz Spy."I really don't think Miley Cyrus is much of a role model for my kid."

1.The underlined word "defy" in Paragraph 1 means "_____".

A.control
B.challenge
C.clarify
D.abandon

2.Which one is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Actors always grow and change for the better.

A.people think him sexy or cool
B.people like short, little, nerdy guys

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项

A New Zealand fishermen caught what may prove to be a world-record-breaking colossal squid(鱿鱼).

In the cold, dark waters of the Antarctic hides a creature with eight arms, two super long tentacles(触须) 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

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

There is no clear advice on how to use your body language. What you do might be interpreted(诠释)in several ways, depending on the surroundings and who you are talking to. You’ll probably want to use body language differently when talking to your boss compared to when you talk to a girl you’re interested in. The following are some effective ways to improve your body language.

First, to change your body language you must be aware of your body language. Notice

how you sit, how you stand , how you use your hands and legs, and what you do while talking to someone.

You might want to practice in front of a mirror. It might seem silly but no one is watching you. This will give you good feedback(反馈)on how you look to other people and also give you an opportunity to practice a bit before going out into the world.

Another tip is to close your eyes and visualize how you would stand and sit to feel confident, open and relaxed or whatever you want to communicate. See yourself move like that version of yourself. Then try it out.

You might also want to observe friends, role models, movie stars or other people you think have good body language. Observe what they do and you don’t and take bits and pieces you like from them. Try using what you can learn from them.

Some of these tips might seem like you are faking(假装) something. But fake it till you make it a useful way to learn something new. And remember, feelings work backwards too. If you smile a bit more you will feel happier. If you sit up straight you will feel more energetic and in control. If you slow down your movements you’ll feel calmer.

56.What’s the purpose of the passage?

A.To show the importance of body language.

B.To compare spoken language with body language.

C.To give some tips on improving body language.

D.To introduce different kinds of body language.

57.We can learn from the passage that_________.

A.body language is not as important as spoken language.

B.movie stars and models always have good body language.

C.using more body language can make us more popular.

D.different body language should be used in different situations.

58.The underlined word “visualize” in Paragraph 4 means_________.

A.see in one’s mind B.discuss with somebody

C.look in the mirror D.Practice again and again

59.What does the author mainly want to say in the last paragraph?

A.Don’t hide your true feelings. B.It’s a good idea to imitate some people .

C.Try to stay calm all the time. D.Go on learning more about body language.
