    You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.

    Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls too.

    1.Stuntmen earn their living by ______.

    A. playing their dirty tricks

    B. selling their special skills

    C. jumping out of high windows

    D. jumping from fast moving trains

    2.When a stuntman falls from a high building, ______.

    A. he needs little protection

    B. he will be covered with a mattress

    C. his life is endangered

    D. his safety is generally all right

    3.Which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance?

    A. Strength.B. Exactness.C. Speed.D. Carefulness.

    4.What can be inferred from the author' s example of the Norwegian stuntman?

    A. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.

    B. The percentage of serious accidents is high.

    C. Parachutes must be of good quality.

    D. The cliff is too high.

    This afternoon I was having a PE lesson while I fell down and hurt my foot. I was in greatly pain at that moment, but I tried to act as if nothing has happened until the class was over. Though I had difficulty walk back to my classroom, I still didn’t tell anyone but even refused the offer of help of my classmates. As result, the hurt in my foot became bad. Now I know I am wrong.

    Are you addicted to computer games? Do you stay up all night playing them? Do you feel happy after you play computer games?

    There’s no doubt that the excitement and appealing of games these days makes them hard to put down. We are attracted by the choice when it comes to gaming: You can role play—creating your own fantasy characters and stories, giving you a chance to step out of everyday life into an imaginary world. And there are shooting games where you can let out your anger and depression in violent situations where you kill people with guns. You can get excited from the games.

    However, can these kinds of games really be fun and can being absorbed in virtual reality be good for us? Should we worry about their effects on our health? Popular games like Grand Theft Auto have been blamed for everything from falling results at school to causing acts of extreme violence. Internet safety adviser, Alan MacKenzie, thinks “any people understandably will just think that a game is just a game and not realizing the exact content that’s in there”. He gives an example of the violence, which he says is “wholly inappropriate for anybody, not to mention children.”

    Others will argue that gaming is a harmless form of entertainment. There is evidence that playing video games could actually be good for us. Some games like Game of Thrones and World of Warcraft are educational and using games certainly can help children learn good qualities. Studies have also shown that the skills used in playing games can cause growth in certain areas of the brain, the ability to think in 3D and even improve our eyesight.

    Video game players are also no longer just simple creatures. For some, gaming is having a positive effect on their social lives with games like Halo and World of Warcraft often being played in groups. When your group works together to win the game, your sense of achievement is higher than when winning by yourself.

    So every coin has two sides. It seems today, gaming isn’t just for game fans and if used in a proper way, we can all take part. If video games have two sides, what side do you stand by?

    1.The writer used a lot of questions at the beginning to _______.

    A. show his worries about the effect on health

    B. lead into the topic of the passage

    C. ask the reader for their own opinions about games

    D. doubt the advantage of playing computer games

    2.Paragraph 3 mainly talks about _______.

    A. the contents of the game are complex

    B. games contain extreme violence

    C. popular games lead to students’ falling results at school

    D. gaming is a harmful form of entertainment

    3.According to the passage, which of the following shows the good influence on social lives?

    A. Han Meimei passed the exam after playing the games.

    B. Li Hua leant many English words from playing games.

    C. Sunyan worked well with his teammates

    D. Yang Li let out his anger and expressions.

    4.In Paragraph 4, the author supports his idea _______.

    A. by giving some examples

    B. with descriptive words

    C. by providing some numbers

    D. with some research results

    根据短文内容,从文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

    How to Do Well in Exams

    Do not underestimate(低估) the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination. The closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and retaining(保持） crucial(关键的） information. But do not overdo it. 1. An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work by game. It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it.

    On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack two of everything you need （pens, pencils, erasers, etc.）, then make your way to the examination hall in good time. 2.

    Once in your seat, simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. Close your eyes and take in a few slow, deep breaths to help you relax. When you turn over the test paper, spend a short period reading through all the instructions and questions, paying particular attention to key verbs such as "discuss", "compare" and "evaluate". 3. It is always wise to allow for 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you wish to tackle, begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest. It will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered question down on paper. Also remember to write clearly, and do not be afraid to express the unexpected: after all, examiners can get very bored marking stereotypical answers.

    4. If you do need something else to focus on to help collect your thoughts, choose a fixture in the room, such as the ceiling - or anything else that will not allow you to be distracted.

    Finally, once you have finished, never hang around outside afterwards to attend the discussion by other students. 5.

    A. Do not arrive too early, though, as other people's anxiety can be contagious(有传染性), and you may suffer from undue（过度的） panic.

    B. Try not to be tempted to look at those around you, or at the clock.

    C. When you get home, read the examination paper through and look up all the words you didn't understand.

    D. Sleep, exercise and relaxation are all just as important.

    E. Map out a quick plan of points you wish to make and how much time you should spend on each question.

    F. Go and have a well-earned rest, then prepare for your next exam.

    G. Underestimate the test in your mind.

    A drunken burglar（盗贼） in the Orrell Park area of Liverpool, ended up leaping out of a window after a 10-year-old girl asked him to prove he was a superhero.

    The drunken thief who pretended he was Superman to stop a child raising the alarm has been caught after he leapt from the apartment building in his pants to make the girl convinced.

    Thief Ethan Adamson, 25, told police that he had broken into a fifth-floor flat after a drinking session, believing it was empty.

    But he was horrified when the owner’s 10-year-old daughter woke up while he was there.

    From his hospital bed, the thief told reporters, “To keep her quiet, I told her I was really Superman and I’d soon be flying off back to my secret headquarters.”

    “She called my bluff (吓唬) and told me, ‘If you’re Superman, show me you can fly or I’ll scream’.

    “I had no choice so I stripped to my pants to look more like a superhero and went to the window. I saw another roof below and I thought I could make it but it turned out to be a lot further down than thought. I know it doesn’t make sense but it did to me when I was drunk.”

    Police later found him on the roof in just his yellow pants, covered in cuts and bruises after a baffled neighbor heard his cries of pain.

    He now faces seven years behind bars for burglary.

    Police spokesman Frank Amado said, “He was in quite a serious state and couldn’t move until we got up there using ladders. He was treated for his injuries and we got him some fresh clothes, before taking him to hospital where he is being kept under guard until he is well enough to be arrested.”

    1.What does the underlined part in the passage mean?

    A. I could land safely on the roof.

    B. I could make the girl trust me.

    C. I could prove I was a superhero.

    D. I could make a successful escape.

    2.What’s the right order of the event?

    a. Ethan Adamson told reporters of the burglary.

    b. The 10-year-old girl called Ethan Adamson’s bluff.

    c. Ethan Adamson attended a drinking session.

    d. Ethan Adamson leapt out of a window.

    A. cabd B. dbca C. cbda D. dcab

    3.Which of the following is TRUE?

    A. Adamson was set free a few days after staying in hospital.

    B. Adamson was badly treated before he was rushed to hospital.

    C. Adamson was being watched while he was in hospital.

    D. Adamson was sent to the police station before he’s taken to hospital.

    4.What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?

    A. To report on a joking burglary.

    B. To call our attention to the burglary.

    C. To explain how the burglar was caught.

    D. To look back on an adventure story.
