There are thousands of film and music festivals in and out of Austin, but there is nothing like ATX. Our focus is on the celebration of the medium: looking back at its history, where it is now, and where it is headed. Our weekend consists of screenings and events where participants can hear from actors, writers, directors, involved in all stages of bringing their favourite series to the small screen.

We have the function of a traditional film festival with screenings followed by Q&As from creators; and a series of events including parties, social media events, and “super secret happy hours”. Unlike traditional festivals, however, we celebrate the history of the medium as well as the future. Since we arrange 50% for the biggest television fans and 50% for those working or wanting to work in the industry, our panels (专家小组) range in topics from “behind the scenes” looks at your favourite series, to more technical topics on where the medium and how technology is headed. Eventually, ATX Television Festival has the goal of serving both the community and industry professionals equally by giving them the opportunity to discuss and celebrate all aspects of TV together.

Austin is approximately in the middle of America, making travel from East or West coast more convenient. Austin TV production has a long history. We love our city and try to be part of our community by showing small businesses, local food, and working with arts organizations like Texas Film Commission, and Austin Film Festival—though we are not the “Austin Television Festival”. We are a national event that works with our members coming from all over the world.

Co?founders Caitlin McFarland and Emily Gipson have spent a decade in a variety of areas of the entertainment industry—from film & television production to working within the network & studio systems. Combining their knowledge, along with numerous good industry professionals that make up the Advisory Board, they are introducing a one?of?a?kind festival experience.

1.What is special about ATX?

A. The films are performed there alive.

B. Actors compete there for better films.

C. Audiences can enjoy more than films there.

D. Audiences can choose their favorite films to see.

2.What do panels do at ATX?

A. They play roles in the films.

B. They monitor the creation of the films

C. They see how audiences react to their films.

D. They offer a technological perspective of films.

3.What does the author mean by “we are not the ‘Austin Television Festival’” in paragraph 3?

A. The festival is celebrated nationwide.

B. The audiences are mainly from abroad.

C. The locals are uninterested in the event.

D. People can enjoy the festival worldwide.

4.What may be the best title of the passage?

A. Films in ATX B. Trip to Austin

C. ATX Television Festival D. Festivals in Austin

When I first got an e-mail account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime.

If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?

This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam e-mails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passes on to the consumer.

For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.

1.What does the underlined word “correspondence” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. messages B. ideas

C. connections D. programs

2.According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam?

A. Companies rely on e-mail for communications.

B. More people in the world communicate by e-mail.

C. Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.

D. More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.

3.According to the author, who is the final victim of spam?

A. The business B. The advertiser

C. The employee D. The consumer

4.What is the purpose of the text?

A. To inform B. To educate

C. To persuade D. To instruct

Saturday, 22 April , 2017

We are currently on a camp-site near Calais, on our way to the UK, and it is pouring with rain. As if gods want to prepare us for the UK at all costs. As if we don't know what rain is... Our ferry to the green isles will leave tomorrow at 10.30 and despite the rain, I am really looking forward to it.

It has taken us a while to get here, as we already left El Chorro on 4 April. After rushing through Spain in two days, however, we came to an inevitable slow-down when we entered France. Inevitable, as France has simply too much to offer for us. So as soon as we crossed the Pyrenees, our driving sequence became something like driving a few kilometres, visiting a castle, driving a few kilometres, taking pictures of a nice church, driving a few kilometres, having a quick peek at a fleas market, driving a few kilometres, visiting a museum etc. When we entered Brittany the real sightseeing started, in Vannes, in Lorient, in Brest and then on to Normandy: Le Mont St Michel, Bayeux and finally, finally the D-Day beaches. I always wanted to visit these, for obvious reasons I would say, but my father, realistic as he was, calculated the chances that it would rain a considerable amount of days of a three-week holiday and always decided against it. But a few days ago I finally stepped onto Gold Beach (where the Brits landed) and I was greeted by the Norman sun. A beautiful day.

1.It was _____ when the writer was on his way to the UK.

A. pouring B. foggy

C. snowy D. sunny

2.According to the passage, the Pyrenees must be a place in_____.

A. Spain B. France

C. Netherland D. Normandy

3.Which of the following statement is NOT true?

A. They spent 2 days in Spain traveling.

B. The writer thought France has a lot of places to visit.

C. The writer thought the real sightseeing was in E1 Chorro, and in Brest.

D. The writer’s father was a realistic person.

4.The passage probably comes from _______.

A. a travel journal B. a science fiction

C. a news report D. a film review

How to be a safe and smart searcher

Several keywords will help to find better results. 1. If you want to find out about seagulls (海鸥), for example, search for “bird seagull” and not just “seagull”, because seagull might also be the name of anything else, from a hotel to a documentary film.

Exact references can help you find what you're looking for. If you are looking for an exact phrase or sentence, e.g. “seagulls are very clever”, type it between inverted commas (“”) and only exact matches will be shown. 2.

Avoid common words like “a” or “the” in a search. These aren't always helpful and are usually unnecessary.

Remove unwanted results by adding a minus symbol (?). For example, “Seagull?hotel?film” would leave out all references to hotels and films.

Check your spelling. Make sure that you spell every word in the search box correctly. 3. That's because sometimes there are mistyped words existing.

Have a filter (筛选程序). It's a good idea to filter your online searchers, especially when you are searching for pictures. Ask an adult to help you add a filtering system. There are lots of filtering software options (可选择的事物) available.

4. Some search engines personalize the results, so check out the option of using a search engine that doesn't do this and you will get different results.

Make sure the reliability. Reliability is very important when you are searching on the Internet. Always ask yourself, “Is this reliable?” Don't make the mistake of believing everything you see. Some websites are unreliable and some information is false. 5.

A.Make sure that you're using the safest search settings.

B.The smallest typing mistakes can bring unwanted results.

C.Check your information on other websites before accepting it.

D.Use more than one keyword when you are doing a search.

E.Experiment with different search engines until you find the one that's best for you.

F.This is useful when you want to find something you've already seen but lost.

G.But finding the right information among thousands of links can be a real challenge.
