    A

    A month after Hurricane Katrina，I returned home in New Orleans．There lay my house，reduced to waist-high rains，smelly and dirty． Before the trip，I’d had my car fixed．When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill．she noticed my Louisiana license plate．“You from New Orleans? ”she asked．I said l was，

    “No charge．”She said，and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet．The next day I went for a haircut，and the same thing happened．

    As my wife was studying in Florid，we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage(抵押贷款)on our ruined house．We looked at many places，but none was satisfactory．We’d begun to accept that we’d have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while，when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kennedy in California．He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for State，an online

    magazine and wanted to give us (“no conditions attached”)a new house across the lake from New Orleans．It sounded too good to be true，but I replied，thanking him for his exceptional generosity，that we had no plans to go back．Then a poet of the University of Florida offered to let his house to me while he went to England on his one-year-paid leave．The rent was rather reasonable．Imentioned the poet’s offer to James Kennedy，and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months．

    Throughout this painful experience，the kindness of strangers backs my faith in humanity．It’s almost worth losing you worldly possessions to be reminded that people really want to be kind when given a channel．

    ②A poet offered his house to us．

    ③Our home was reduced to ruins．

    ④The garage employee charged us nothing．

    ⑤We came back to New Orleans．

    A．④③⑤①② B．③④⑤②①

    C．④③⑤②① D．③④⑤①②

    2.What do you know about James Kennedy?

    A．He was a friend of the writer．

    B．He offered the writer a house in California．

    C．He worked for an online magazine．

    D．He was concerned about the writer’s sufferings．

    3.It can be inferred from the passage that ．

    A．The mortgage on the ruined house didn’t need to be paid off

    B．The house rents in New Orleans were reasonable after the hurricane

    C．The writer rebuilt his faith in humanity by losing his worldly possessions

    D．The writer made it through the painful period with people's kindness

    4.How is the passage developed?

    A．By showing contrasting facts．

    B．By making classification

    C．By giving examples．

    D．By analyzing causes and effects．

    C

    A crisis is on the way．Global warming? The world economy? No，the decline of reading．People are just not doing it anymore，especially the young．Who’s responsible? What is responsible? The Internet，of course，and everything that comes with it—Facebook，Twitter，etc..

    There’s been a warning about the coming death of literate civilization for a long time．In the 20th century，first it was the movies，then radio，then television that seemed to end the written world．None did．Reading survived；in fact it not only survived，it has developed better．The world is more literate than ever before — there are more and more readers．and more and more books．

    The fact that we often get our reading material online today is not something we should worry over．The electronic and digital revolution of the last two decades has arguably shown the way forward for reading and for writing．Interconnectivity allows for the possibility of a reading experience that was barely imaginable before．Where traditional books had to make do with photographs and illustrations，an e-book can provide readers with an unlimited number of links：to texts，pictures，and videos．

    On the other hand，there is the danger of trivialization(碎片化)．One Twitter group is offering its followers single-sentence-long“digests”of the great novels．War and Peace in a sentence? You must be joking．We should fear the fragmentation(碎片)of reading．There is the danger that the high-speed connectivity of the Internet will reduce our attention span—that we will be incapable of reading anything of length or which requires deep concentration．

    In such a fast-changing world，in which reality seems to be remade each day，we need the ability to focus and understand what is happening to us．This has always been the function of literature and we should be careful not to let it disappear．Our society needs to be able to imagine the possibility of someone entirely in pace with modern technology but able to make sense of a dynamic，confusing world．

    1.In Paragraph 2，we can learn ．

    A．the disappearance of traditional books

    B．the development of human civilization

    C．the historical challenges for reading

    D．the birth of pioneering e-books

    2.According to the passage，the advantage of e-books is ．

    A．1imited link

    B．imaginative design

    C．low cost

    D．varied contents

    3.How does the author feel towards single-sentence-long novels?

    A．Doubtful B．Worried

    C．Shocked D．Hopeful

    4.What is the main idea of the passage?

    A．Technology is an opportunity and a challenge for traditional reading．

    B．Technology pushes the way forward for reading and writing．

    C．Interconnectivity is a feature of new reading experience．

    D．Technology offers a greater variety of reading practice．

    In spite of the uncertainty of the economy, the movie industry has been stricken by a box-office outburst. Suddenly it seems as if everyone is going to the movies, with ticket sales this year up 17.5 percent, to $1.7 billion.

    And it is not just because ticket prices are higher. Attendance has also jumped, by nearly 16 percent. If that pace continues through the year, it would amount to the biggest box-office increase in at least two decades.

    Americans, for the moment, just want to hide in a very dark place. People want to forget their troubles, and they want to be with other people. Helping feed the outburst is the mix of movies, which have been more audience-friendly in recent months as the studios have tried to adjust after the discouraging sales of more serious films.

    As she stood in line at the 18-screen Bridge theater complex here on Thursday to buy weekend tickets for “Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience,” Angel Hernandez was not thinking much about escaping reality. Instead, Ms. Hernandez, a Los Angeles parking lot attendant and mother of four young girls, was focused on one very specific reality: her wallet.

    “Spending hundreds of dollars to take them to Disneyland is ridiculous right now,” she said. “For $60 and some candy money I can still be a good mom and give them a little fun.”

    A lot of parents may have been thinking the same thing Friday, as “Jonas Brothers” sold out more than 800 theaters, and was expected to sell a powerful $25 million or more in tickets.

    The film industry appears to have had a hand in its recent good luck. Over the last year or two, studios have released movies that are happier, scarier or just less depressing than what came before. After poor results for a rush of serious dramas built around the Middle East, Hollywood got back to comedies.

    1.Which of the following is not a reason for the improvement of the movie industry?

    A. A growing number of people are going to the cinema.

    B. People are richer with the development of economy.

    C. More comedies are made than serious films.

    D. People have to pay more to watch a movie.

    2.Ms. Hernandez purchased the movie tickets because ________.

    A. she tried to escape reality

    B. she was a crazy movie fan

    C. she was fond of Disneyland

    D. she wanted to please her kids

    3.According to the text, which of the following number is not used to describe the shooting up of the movie industry?

    A. 17.5% B. $1.7 billion

    C. $60 D. $25 million

    4.The passage is developed mainly by ________.

    A. presenting the effect and analyzing the causes

    B. following the order of time

    C. describing problems and drawing a conclusion

    D. making comparison of ideas
