    The slavery drama “12 Years a Slave” won the Academy Award for best picture on Sunday, making history as the first movie from a black director to win the film industry's highest honor in 86 years of the Oscars．Can anyone tell me your ideas about this movie? —— GreatMartin
    “12 Years a Slave is a surprisingly underwhelming movie．It is more of a string of picture about several heartless and evil white men(and women)who are just mean without the motivation of running a plantation on their minds．There is very little character development and most of the film relies on what the audience already knows and feels about slavery．” 一一GeminiJef
    ‘‘Never have I been stunned into an emotional silence after watching a film in the theater．I've come out of films before thinking” My god，that was unbelievable”，like when I saw The Lord of the Rings for the first time，but this film just hits you on another level entirely．You sit there after it’s over，wondering if what you’d just experienced was real．The day after．you feel the same．”一一Pauljohnson
    “This movie is just an average movie about slavery．Are you kidding me，segregation movies are a dime a dozen and this movie beat out Gravity for Golden Globes? Gravity has never been done before．12 Years a Slave I watched once and will never watch again．I watched Gravity 5 times and still love it．’’一一Dominionator
    “This movie was realistic and engaging at every second．Even the dramatic pauses were worthwhile and definitely not a waste of time．The script inferred and hinted at events rather than just plain saying them，and that was genius．Outstanding photography，amazing special effects and the acting is top notch．There were a few people that walked out during some scenes．What a shame!” 一一Apols
    小题1:The main purpose of GreatMartin’s writing is __________ .
    A．to give a brief introduction of the movie
    B．to share his own opinions with others
    C．to invite answers to his question
    D．to explain why he asks the question
    小题2:The underlined word “stunned’’ in the third paragraph probably means __________ .
    A．puzzledB．shockedC．disappointedD．concerned
    小题3:Among the four speakers，who made positive comments on the movie?
    A．GeminiJef and PauljohnsonB．Pauljohnson and Dominionator
    C．GeminiJef and DominionatorD．Pauljohnson and Apols
    小题4:Which of the following best states Pauljotmson’s ideas about l2 Years a Slave?
    A．It leaves little room for character development．
    B．It reaches the height of The Lord of the Rings．
    C．It doesn’t deserve such high praise．
    D．It amazes the audience with its special effects．

    小题1:C
    小题2:B
    小题3:D
    小题4:B

    试题分析: 本文是人们对于电影“为奴十二载”的一些评论。该电影获得了第86届奥斯卡最佳影片奖和第71届金球奖。正如让Paul Johnson感到震惊的是，该电影的确是以真人真事改编的，而且它完全达到了电影“指环王”所达到的水平。
    小题1:C。细节理解题。根据首段中Can anyone tell me your ideas about this movie?可知Great Martin的目的是想了解人们对这部电影的看法，故答案选C。
    小题2:B。词义猜测题。从文章第三段I've come out of films before thinking” My god，that was unbelievable”可知Gemini Jef对此感觉难以置信，由此推断stunned意思是“吃惊的，震惊的”，故答案选B。
    小题3:D。细节理解题。从文章倒数第一段“This movie was realistic and engaging at every second和倒数第三段内容wondering if what you’d just experienced was real．The day after．you feel the same可知这两个人对这部影片做出了积极的评价，故答案选D。
    小题4:B。细节理解题。从文章第三段内容I've come out of films before thinking……，like when I saw The Lord of the Rings for the first time，but this film just hits you on another level entirely可知作者看这部电影时的感觉和看The Lord of the Rings的感觉一样，认为这部影片达到了那部电影的水平，故答案选B。

    It happened to me recently, I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President.A friend I wsa talking to agreed with me that it was,in his words,”a brilliantly written book”.However,he then went on to talk about Mr.Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his back-ground at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.
    And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't.  In the World Book Day's" Report on Guilty Secrets" ,Dreams From My Father is at number 9.  The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I'm not one to Lie too often (I'd hate to be caught out) , I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten.  But I am pleased to say that,  un- like 42 percent of peoples I have read the book at number one, George Orwell's 1984.  I think
    it's really brilliant.
    The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie  about having read Jane Austen,  Charles Dickens ,  Fyodor Dostoevsky  (I haven ' tread him, but haven't lied about it either) and Herman Melville.
    Asked why  they lied, the most common reason was to "impress" someone they were speaking to.  This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth !
    But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. K Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella ( ah,  the big sellers, in other words).  Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I' lI come clean: I do thi8 and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).
    小题1:Which of the fokllowing is a "guilty secret" according io the world Book Day report?
    A．42% of people pretended to have read 1984.
    B．Charles Dickens is very low on the top--tcn list.
    C．The author admitted having read 9 books
    D．Dreams From My Father is hardly read.
    小题2:How did the author find his friend a book liar?
    A．By mentioning a famous name.B．By discussing the book itself

    Among rich countries, people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity(生产力) per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed.
    In most countries and at most times in history, as people have become richer they have chosen to work less. In other words they have decided to “spend” a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But not in the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be greatly lower taxes in America, which increase the rewards to work. Another may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives.
    Longer hours do of course increase the GDP(国内生产总值). So the United States has produced more per worker than, say, France. The United States also has more of its people at work, while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home. The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40% higher than in France, even though productivity per hour worked is the same.
    It is not clear which of the two situations is better. As we have seen, work has to be compared with other values like family life, which often get lost in its interest. It is too early to explain the different trends（趋势）in happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance?
    小题1:Which of the following countries has more of its people at work?
    A．Spain.B．France.C．Germany.D．America.
    小题2:What message can we get from the text?
    A．The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America.
    B．Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US.
    C．People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer.
    D．Americans are happier than Europeans.
    小题3:Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
    A．Americans and Europeans
    B．Staying at Home
    C．Work and Productivity
    D．Work and Happiness

    iPhone owners are vainer (虚荣) and spend more on clothes and grooming(仪容) than those who have BlackBerrys and Android phones, new research claims.

    BlackBerry owners earn the most and are more likely to have long-term relationships, while people with Android handsets are most creative and the best cooks.
    The study, carried out by TalkTalk Mobile, surveyed 2,000 owners of the three major smartphone brands to determine whether the choice of handset was an extension(延伸) of their personality. The study rated users in various walks of life using a point scoring system including personalities, daily habits and the type of industries they work in.
    Other results from the study found that people with an iPhone are more image conscious  and generally rate themselves more attractive than those with other handsets. They are most likely to describe themselves as adventurous, bright and are most likely to work in media, publishing and education. They also believe their boss rates them highly. Apple owners also tend to have done more travelling and are the most active on social media sites.
    BlackBerry owners were found to be the least punctual(准时的) ,but despite putting in the least hours at work they are the most active phone user—sending more texts and making more calls in the average day than any other phone user. They are more social and have more friends overall. They also earn nearly two and a half thousand pounds a year more than other smarphone owners, with an average salary of $27,406. BlackBerry users classed themselves so loud and mainly work in the health, finance or property sectors. They were also found to drink more tea and coffee each day than any other phone user.
    Android owners were found to watch more TV than others and drink the most alcohol—consuming more in an average week than iPhone and BlackBerry drinkers. They have the most jobs in engineering, the government and public services and environmental services. They have the best manners and are more shy and relaxed than their counterparts.
    Dan Meader, Director of Mobile at TalkTalk, said, “Many of us have our mobile phones on us almost constantly so they do become an extension of us in many ways. It’s interesting to see then how the choice in handset may reflect different aspects of personality and the results do show some unusual differences.”
    小题1:What do we know about BlaceBerry users?
    A．They work latest.B．They drink most alcohol.
    C．They are the highest earners.D．They are values most by their bosses.
    小题2:The underlined words “image conscious”(Paragraph4) mean caring about        .
    A．incomeB．appearanceC．social mediaD．interpersonal relationships
    小题3:What were Android users found to be like?
    A．Loud.B．Brave.C．Polite.D．Confident.
    小题4:Dan Meader may agree that the kind of mobile phone we use           .
    A．will decide the way we live our life
    B．can be a window into the lives we lead
    C．can change our personalities gradually
    D．has become the most important part of our life
    小题5:How is the text organized?
    A．By drawing comparisons.B．By giving reasons only.
    C．By providing examples.D．By giving solutions.

    The adderis the only poisonous snake nativeto Britain. Adders have the most highly developed poison injecting mechanism of all snakes, but they are not aggressive animals. Adders will only use their poison as a last means of defence, usually if caught or trodden on. No one has died from adder bites in Britain for over 20 years. By far the most common smake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British sanke with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high gournd. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.
    Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal . Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.
    All snakes have small teeth, so it follows tha tall snakes can bite, but only te bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move  very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.
    The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon severa things, one of which is the boidy-wight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites in Britain ,and thought these bites can make some pepe very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.
    小题1:What does the underlined phrase “ trodden on” probably mean?
    A．Found outB．Heard fromC．Stepped on.D．Robbed of.
    小题2:Where are adders to be found?
    A．In fertile fields in Scotland.
    B．On wild land throughout Britain.
    C．In many parts of Britain and Ireland.
    D．Everywhere in Britian except Scotland
    小题3:What should you do if you are with someone who is bitten by an adder?
    A．Catch the biting adder at onece.
    B．Don’t worry about the bitten person.
    C．Don’t try to treat the bite by yourself.
    D．Operate on the person as soon as possible.
    小题4:What’s the best title of the passage?
    A．Poisonous SnakesB．Adders in Britain
    C．Take Care oif Sake BitesD．Protec Endangered Adders

    Forget Twitter and Facebook, Google and the Kindle. Television is still the most influential medium around. Indeed, for many of the poorest regions(地区)of the world, it remains the next big thing—finally becomes globally available. And that is a good thing, because the TV revolution is changing lives for the better.
    Across the developing world, around 45% of families had a TV in 1995; by 2005 the number had climbed above 60% . That is some way behind the U.S. ,where there are more TVs than people, and where people now easily get access to the Internet. Five million more families in sub-Saharan Africa will get a TV over the next five years. In 2005 , after the fall of the Taliban（塔利班）,which had banned TV, I in 5 Afghans had one. The global total is another 150 million by 2013—pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families.
    Television’s most powerful effect will be on the lives of women. In India, researchers Robert Jensen and Emily Oster found that when TVs reached villages, women were more likely to go to the market without their husbands approval and less likely to want a boy rather than a girl. They were more likely to make decisions over child health care. TV is also a powerful medium for adult education. In the Indian state of Gujarat, Chitrageet is a popular show that plays Bollywood songs with words in Gujarati on the screen. Within six months, viewers had made a small but significant improvement in their reading skills.
    Too much TV has been associated with violence, overweight and loneliness. However, TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide.
    小题1:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．Americans used to get access to the Internet easily.
    B．The world’s TV sets will total 150 million by 2013.
    C．45% of families in the developing countries had a TV in 2005.
    D．Over two thirds of families in the world will have a TV by 2013.
    小题2:The author intends to ____________.
    A．stress the advantages of TV to people’s lives
    B．persuade women to become more independent
    C．encourage people to improve their reading skills
    D．introduce the readers some websites such as Google
    小题3:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．TV Will Rule the World B．TV Will Disturb the World
    C．TV Will Better the WorldD．TV Will Remain in World

    Sitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands. Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldn't forget that Charles Darwin (1809-1882) arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired (启发) his famous work, On the Origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwin's footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands. The islands are certainly a paradise (天堂) for wildlife, as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be. The most well-known animal of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise(巨型海龟), which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Sanra Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago(群岛). Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself. Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures: diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air. Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time.
    小题1: What do we know about Darwin's visit to the islands?
    A．He studied different creatures on the islands
    B．He completed his famous book on the islands
    C．He was touched by the geography of the islands
    D．He was attracted by well-known animals of the islands
    小题2:  Which of the following plays a role in making the islands "a paradise for wildlife"?
    A．Animals on the islands feed on grass.
    B．Local government forbids killing wildlife.
    C．People cannot visit the islands as they wish.
    D．Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals.
    小题3:  Your stay on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of_________.
    A．The beautiful sea views
    B．Darwin's inspiring trip
    C．a closer view of animals
    D．various daring activities
    小题4:  Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
    A．A Unique Attraction for Wildlife Lovers
    B．Calapagos as a Paradise for Adventures
    C．Charles Darwin as a Symbol of Galapagos
    D．A Successful Example of Wildlife Protection
