    II. 阅读理解（Reading comprehension）（共20小题，计35分）
    A）选择题：阅读下面短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。（答案涂在答题纸上）
    A
        Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood, in the United States. However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay, and so the film industry there is called “Bollywood”. Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year as Hollywood—more than 800 films a year.
    The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing, Bollywood movies are much longer than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, action, adventure, mystery, and romance. Because Bollywood films contain so many different features, this style of film is sometimes called a “masala” film. (“Masala” is an Indian word for a mixture of spices. )
    Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way the movies are made. It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script is even finished. The director and writers can make up the story while the film is being made. Sometimes they will even write the script by hand instead of taking time to type it.

    Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several movies at the same time. They may even shoot scenes for several films on the same day using the same clothes and scenery (舞台布景）. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies. The average Bollywood film, with a budget （预算） of only two million U.S. dollars, seems very cheap compared to the average budget of sixty million U.S. dollars for a Hollywood film—thirty times as much!
    51. The main topic of the passage is ________.
    A. famous stars in Bollywood
    B. how Hollywood movies are made
    C. the differences between two movie industries
    D. the history of movie-making in India
    52. What is NOT true about Mumbai?
    A. It is the movie capital of India.
    B. Its new name is Bombay.
    C. More movies are made there than in Hollywood.
    D. The film industry there is called “Bollywood”.
    53. Why are Bollywood films often called “masala” films?
    A. They have interesting stories.
    B. They are much longer than Hollywood films.
    C. They show Indian culture.
    D. They mix different styles of movies.
    54. Bollywood movies are cheap to make because ________.
    A. they are shorter than Hollywood films
    B. the scripts are written by hand
    C. the movies do not use any special effects
    D. most movies reuse things from other movies
    55. Which of these statements would the writer probably agree with?
    A. Most Bollywood movies are very similar.
    B. It takes a lot of money to make a good movie.
    C. Only Indian people can understand Bollywood movies.
    D. Hollywood movies are too violent.

    请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选山最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
    Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. Many guests like the idea because they don't have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.
    Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources (资源) and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.
    Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life:  Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen（食堂）, use your own bowl and chopsticks instead of disposable ones.
    1. Why do many hotels provide guests with some disposable things?
    A. Let their guests be convenient during their travelling.
    B. Hope their guests use less disposable things.
    C. Wish their guests to save money.
    D. Want their guests to use more disposable things.
    2. Some Beijing hotels will no longer provide guests with ____.
    A. cheap food and drink                     B. disposable things
    C. good service                                     D. free TV programmes
    3. Which of the following is NOT true?
    A. Many disposable things are made of plastic.
    B. Throwing disposable things away is a waste of natural resources.
    C. Plastic is very bad for the environment.
    D. Plastic breaks down easily.
    4. What can we do to make our world a better place at home and school?
    A. Use shopping bags made of plastic.           
    B. Do not throw away paper cups.
    C. Use disposable plates, bowls and chopsticks.  
    D. Do not forget to reuse daily necessities（日用品）.
    5. We can tell from the story that ____.
    A. people don't like disposable things at all
    B. we can't use paper or plastic bowls at school
    C. we should use less plastic things and protect our environment
    D. hotels won't provide disposable things because they want to save money

    If your life feels like it is lacking the power that you want and the motivation that you need, sometimes all you have to do is shift your point of view.
    By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things, you are more likely to have the incentive（刺激，诱因） to follow through on your goals. You are less likely to be held back by negative ideas that might limit your performance.
    Your life can be enhanced（增强的）, and your happiness enriched, when you choose to change your perspective（远景、希望）. Don't leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously on their own. You must go in the direction of your hopes and aspirations. Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not necessarily control over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way.
    Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust; learn to rise above anxiety and doubt. Turn your "worry hours" into "productive hours". Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile effort that you can be involved in. You will see beautiful things happen when you allow yourself to experience the joys of life. You will find happiness when you adopt positive thinking into your daily routine and make it an important part of your world.

    A. Live every day                                                           B.Treat every day actively

    Sweet potatoes are fat-free, high in fiber and full of the vitamins that research suggests reduce your risk of life-shortening diseases. To stay healthy, we must eat more fruits and vegetables, and sweet potatoes are a great source of beta carotene(胡萝卜素) and other carotenoids(which the body turns into vitamin A). According to a study of the diets of almost 90,000 nurses, eating about one cup a day of fruits and vegetables rich in carotenoids can cut your risk of stroke in half and reduce your risk of heart disease by 22 percent. Other research suggests beta carotene protects against breast, lung and stomach cancers.
    Beta carotene is the most famous member of the carotenoids family. In face, a medium-sized sweet potato contains nearly 12mg of beta carotene(anti-aging experts usually suggest 6 to 11 mg per day). Sweet potatoes are also a low-fat source of vitamin E. Research has linked high E diets with a lower risk of heart disease. This vitamin pill in an orange jacket also packs a vitamin C punchit which has more C than apricots (a kind of fruit). Research suggests that vitamin C protects against ailments (小疾) ranging from cataracts(an eye disease) to cancer. In addition, a UCLA (University of California Los Angeles) study linked high vitamin C diets with a longer life. Recent studies have showed that antioxidant Vitamins C, E and beta carotene fight a fierce battle against free radicals (自由基），which cause cell damage and lead to various illness. Therefore, to keep fit, eat more sweet potatoes.

    Several southwestern provinces in China are now experiencing the worst drought(旱灾) since the 1950s. The drought has left 18 million people and 11 million farm animals in Yunnan, Guangxi, Sichuan and Chongqing without enough water supplies. And it has affected 5 million hectares of crops in the provinces.
    According to China’s Meteorological Administration (中国气象局), the average daily temperature in Yunnan over the past six months has been two degrees higher than normal. And the province has had only half the rainfall of an ordinary year. In Qinglong county, Guizhou, there had been no rain for 268 days until March 25, when it finally rained for three hours.
    To ensure the safety of drinking water, local governments have taken emergency action. Workers in parts of Yunnan are drilling (钻空) daily in the hope of digging 1035 wells by mid-May. Among them, 52 have already started working and 288 are under way, providing 20 percent of the required drinking water. Meanwhile, Yunnan province intends to send more migrants (农民工) to work outside the province as the drought worsens. This will not only help to deal with the drinking water shortages, but also increase those farmers’ income. The government will offer free skill training and organize job fairs.

    A. the worsening drought
    B. the shortage of drinking water

    How clean are the nation’s homes?
    According to a survey by CIF, there’s room for improvement all over Britain.
    Love or hate it — cleaning your home is one job you simply can’t ignore（忽视）. But that’s not to say everyone spends the same amount of time or effort on making their places spotless. A new survey by CIF— experts on making tough cleaning jobs easier—— shows that when it comes to washing windows or cleaning the oven（烤箱）,where you live in the UK it may show how much effort you put into the task.
    BATHROOM
    25% of men have never cleaned the toilet — but those in Wales are the worst. Nearly four in 10 Welsh men said they never cleaned anywhere in the house. Hate cleaning the shower head? You’re not alone — a  quarter of a million Brits say the same. 20% of Scots regard window-cleaning as their most hated job.
    KITCHEN
    36% of people in the south-east say cleaning the cooker is their hated task. 68% of those in the north-east spend more than six hours a week cleaning their homes — especially the kitchen — in sharp contrast to the 49% of Welsh and West Country folk, who put their hands up to cleaning for under an hour.
    BEDROOM
    18% believe cleaning starts here: that’s the percentage of women who clean wearing their dressing gowns. 51% of women in the north-west may be staying in bed and giving their husband a cuddle（拥抱）—as a thank-you for helping them clean. In other places, there are far fewer helpful men.
    LIVING ROOM
    32% of women in the north-east turn up the stereo to help make the dusting more fun. Almost six in 10 women agree, however, that cleaning is seriously energetic exercise.
    SHIFT THE DIRT WITH CIF
    It’s no secret that the right cleaning products will cut cleaning time and effort in half— and no one knows that better than How Clean Is Your house? Presenters Aggie Mackenzie and Kim Woodburn. For solutions（解决办法）to all your cleaning needs, here are some of CIF’s top tips:
    ·Stop a lot of build-up on your shower head—give it a quick squirt（喷洒）with CIF bathroom spray once a week.
    ·Stainless steel（不锈钢）tools seem to need endless cleaning. The CIF Wild Qrchid Qxy-Gel-it lifts dirt easily and leaves the kitchen smelling fresh and clean.
    ·Cooking outside? CIF cream will get your barbecue （烤架）spotlessly clean, ready for those long, lazy summer evenings. Perfect!
    小题1:The main purpose of this passage is to ______.
    A．tell us the results of a certain survey
    B．advertise a certain product
    C．advise men to do more cleaning housework
    D．tell us which is the hardest job at home
    小题2:It can be concluded from the survey that people in different parts of Britain______.
    A．have different views on house cleaning
    B．spend different amounts of time and effort on house cleaning
    C．like to do different kinds of housework
    D．have different ways to do housework
    小题3:According to the survey,______ spend the most time cleaning their homes.
    A．the WelshB．people in the north-west
    C．people in the south-eastD．people in the north-east
    小题4:CIF in the passage probably refers to ______.
    A．an organization doing research on housework
    B．a group of experts who give advice on doing housework
    C．a company providing advice and products on cleaning
    D．a company providing cleaning services
