I read that 38 top scientists meeting in Denmark said we should forget about global warming. W: Yes, they said global warming is important, but there are other problemswe should solve like AIDS, hunger, and Malaria. "First things first" is their theme.Q: What do some of the top scientists think about global warming? Question 2M: It's suicide! We're killing ourselves with acid rain. Smoke from burntcoal mixes with sunlight to create poisonous sulfuric acid that destroys plants, animals and people like us. W: Hold on! What you've said is true, but governments everywhere arepunishing polluters and encouraging alternate energy sources likesolarpower and wind power. Things are looking up.Q:What is the woman's point of view?Question 3W:Water pollution in my home town is very serious. I think it's high time that the government take some measures to tackle the problem before it's too late.M:I think I'm gonna make your eyes green with envy if I tell you that the water in my home town is well conserved.Q:What can we learn from the dialog?Question 4W:John, are you interested in joining in our club to raise money for the protection of wild birds in the States?M:Why not? I learnt from an article the other day that the wildlife in our country is diminishing. I'll certainly do my part. It's really sad if we can only see wild birds in zoos.Q:What is the man going to do?Question 5W:Mark, did you hear about "black pollution"? I know that "white pollution"refers to plastic pollution. Is "black pollution" related to coal or air exhausted by factories?M:No, honey. It's the pollution by the waste rubber. It's a serious problem in our country.Q:What causes "black pollution"?Every day, the average person breathes in about 20,000 liters ofair. Every time we breathe, we risk inhaling dangerous chemicals that have found their way into the air.Air pollution includes all pollutants found in the atmosphere. These dangerous substances can be either in the form of gases or particles. Air pollution can be found both outdoors and indoors. Pollutants can be trapped inside buildings, causing indoor pollution that lasts for a longtime.The sources of air pollution are both natural and human-based. As one might expect, humans have been producing increasing amounts of pollution as time has progressed, and they now account for the majority of pollutants released into the air.Air pollution has been a problem throughout history. Even in Ancient Rome people complained about smoke put into the atmosphere.The effects of air pollution are diverse and numerous. Air pollution can have serious consequences for the health of human beings, and severely affects the natural ecosystem.Because it is located in the atmosphere, air pollution is able to travel easily. As a result, air pollution is a global problem and has been the subject of global cooperation and conflict.Some areas now suffer more than others from air pollution. Cities with large numbers of automobiles or those that use great quantities of coal often suffer most severely from air pollution problems.The panda is found only in the western mountains of China. It is one of the most popular animals in the world. Although it is protected by the Chinese government by strict laws, it is still in serious danger of extinction.Experts guess that there are altogether fewer than 1,000 giant pandas left in China. The pandas live in bamboo forests in the high mountains. Their numbers fell dramatically earlier this century when large areas of bamboo forest were cut down and turned over to agriculture.To deal with the crisis, experts suggested that special reserves be set up in the remaining forest to protect the pandas.Also, pandas were taken into zoos to begin a breeding program and the pandas bred there could one day be returned to the wild. Since the panda is a national symbol in China, the program received a lot of attention. However, the panda is a very solitary creature, and the number of pandas in the wild continues to drop. For years, zoos have spent millions of dollars to place pandas together in breeding pairs. Almost all of these actions have ended in failure. As a result, experts predict that pandas will be extinct within 40 to 100 years unless drastic measures are taken.Because of the strangely solitary nature of the giant panda, the debateabout the use of cloning in conservation has emerged in China.Today mankind faces the loss of one endangered species after another through the destruction of the environment. People cannot afford to lose the panda, which is found nowhere outside China.。

Hw went to a bar and had several drinks. When he was done, he stood up and walked toward the door. The barman shouted after him, “Hey mister, are you going to pay for those drinks?”Tom turned around an d replied, “I have already paid you,” and then walked out of the bar. Almost immediately he saw one of his friends Richard and told him about the barman, “Just go in there and drink all you want, then get up and leave. When the barman asks you to pay the bill, just tell him you have already paid.”This sounded easy enough, so Richard went in and has several drinks. The barman went to him and said, “Before you came in, another man was here. When I asked him to pay his bill, he told me he’d paid, but I don’t remember him paying me.”Richard said, “I would love to stay and hear your story, but I don’t have time. Can I havemy change please?”1. A2.B3.D4.C5.CTask 3: Why not just print money?What’s the solution to a recession, a time of little econom ic activity? Just print money! Sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Let’s see if this will work by using an example.Let’s pretend that all the students in your class make up the ENTER population of the country, and the teacher represents the government. Let’s a lso pretend each student has exactly $1.00.Since we are in a recession, let’s have the teacher, who represents the government, print money. He prints $1.00 more for everyone. Now everyone has $1.00 more to spend. More money to spend sounds like a great way to get us out of recession, since more money to spend means demand for goods and services.Then if that works, why don’t we give MORE money away? How about $100? Now we have lots of money to spend. So no more recession, right?Not really, because we have only looked at one side of the problem. As more and more people receive more and more money, what’ll happen?Since everyone has more money, the students all go shopping to spend that extra money. This causes the demand for goods and services to rise, and people who sell goods and services raise price. For example, if you could buy a new music CD at $10 in the past, now the price could be $1,000! This is called inflation.So, the original reason for printing all this money was to help get us of recession, but we have only replaced one problem with another.1.T2.T3.F4.F5.FIV. Speaking OutModel 1 I want to blow it all.John: Hey, Se-Jin, do you want to come shopping with me? My dad just gave me my monthly allowance and I want to blow it all.Se-Jin: That sounds just like you, John! What do you want to buy?John: I don’t know…Some music CDs, maybe.Se-Jin: If you spend all that money on things you don’t even know if you want, you won’t have any money left when you need it.John: But if I just save my money, that doesn’t s sound like much fun either. Besides, I need some new CDs.Se-Jin: You also need a financial advisor!Now Your TurnA: Hey, do you want to come shopping with me? I just got some money from my part-time job, and I want to get rid of it right away.B: That’s your style. What do you want to buy?A: I don’t know…some fashionable clothes, maybe.B: If you waste all your money on things you don’t even know if you want, you’ll be out of money completely when you need it.A: But if I ju st hold on to my money…that doesn’t make much sense either. I really need some new clothes. What’s the point of saving lots of money without fun?B: As I see it, you need a person to look after your money.Model 2 Can money buy everything?Peter: I’m try ing to think of ways to become rich. If I could get my hands on a lot of money, I’ll be really happy.Jane: Do you really think so? I’m not so sure.Peter: Of course, why wouldn’t I? I’d be able to have anything I want.Jane: Well, there are plenty of peop le who have a lot of money but aren’t happy. What do you say to that?Peter: But if I became a millionaire, I’d buy whatever I wanted.Jane: Can you buy true love? Can you buy the moon?Peter: Maybe not, but I can buy a house with a lot of modern conveniences. Jane: So many people think like you do, buy look at all the divorces, suicides and murders among wealthy people. How do you explain that?Peter: Maybe there’s something in what you said.Now Your TurnA: I really hope I can make a fortune. If I had a lot of money, I’d be as happy as a king.B: Do you really believe so? I have my doubts about it.A: Of course, why wouldn’t I? If I were a millionaire, there’s nothing I couldn’tbuy.B: Well, can you but health? Can you but true friendship?B: Maybe not. But I can but a big house and car, and make my life more comfortable.A: Maybe you have a point there. Money can bring material comforts. But don’t forget, there are also divorces and suicides among wealthy people.B: Well, there is some truth in what you said. Money cannot but real happiness. Model 3 I wonder if you could give me a loan.John: Hey, Se-Jin, I was just on my way to find you.Se-Jin: What’s up, John?John: Se-Jin, I’m kind of broke, and you usually have a bundle tucked away. I wonder if you could give me a loan.Se-Jin: Dream on! I’m hard up myself.John: You see, I want to buy some new stereo equipment, and I’m just about a hundred short.Se-Jin: Why not save up for it?John: The stores have all stuff on a huge sales promotion right now. I could save at least 30 percent!S-Jin: John, I’d lend you money if you were in a jam. But a new stereo isn’t an emergency.John: Then I’m afraid I have to find someone who is more easy-going.Now Your TurnA: Hi, I was trying to catch up with you.B: What happened?A: Money had burned a hole in my pocket. You usually have some savings. I wonder if you can lend me some money?B: You’re daydreaming. I’m short of money myself.A: Look, I want to buy a digital camera, and I’m only short of 150 bucks.B: Why not save towards it?A: The camera is on sale right now. This can save me almost 25 percent.B: Well, I’d lend you the money if you were in real redouble. But a new camera isn’t urgent.A: Then I’m afraid I’ll have to try someone who’s more generous.V. L et’s TalkStory of a MiserThere was a miser who loved money more than anything else. Just before he died, he said to his wife, “Now, listen. When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me.

Look, this is a cool TV commercial. “Things go better with Coke!”Laura: I think the Peps i commercial is just as attractive: “The choice of a new generation!”Bob: Y eah, but the competitors are just canceling out each other‟s efforts.Laura: That‟s quite true. They both spend piles of money to increase their market shares, but neither gains.Bob: I‟m afraid the extra costs of advertising will be passed on to the consumers.Laura: I hear that the advertising produces a good image of a product, and that leads to consumer brand loyalty.Bob: What do you mean by consumer brand loyalty?Laura: It means consumers are loyal to a certain product and keep buying it. Also, they‟re willing to pay more.Bob: It seems contradictory. In other words, more sales mean lower production costs, but more advertising means higher costs to the consumer. In the end the winner is of course the company.

Instead they want the end-user—that‟s you—to fallin love with their product.Jane: I see.

He was born in Salzburg, Austria, in 1756. Before the age of four, he had shown great musical talent. His father then decided to let him start taking harpsichord lessons. The boy‟s reputation as a musical talent grew fast. At five, he was composing music. Form that time on, Mozart was performing n concerts and writing music. By his early teens, he had mastered the piano, violin and harpsichord, and was writing symphonies and operas. His first major opera was performed in Milan in 1770, when he was only fourteen. At fifteen, Mozart became the conductor for an orchestra in Salzburg. In 1781, he left for Vienna, where he was in great demand as both a performer and a composition teacher. His first opera was a success. But life was not easy because he was a poor businessman, and his finances were always in a bad state. His music from the next decade was not very popular, and he eventually fell back on his teaching jobs for a living. In 1788 he stopped performing in public, preferring only to compose. He died in 1791 at the age of thirty-five. Although he lived only a short life, he composed over 600 works.1. Which of the following is true of Mozart? D2. How long has Mozart‟s fame lasted? A3.

Let‟s TalkThe Origin of the Song “Happy Birthday to You”The story of the song “Happy Birthday to You” Began as a sweet one, but later became bitter. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at a kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the principal of the same school, wrote a song together for the children, entitled “Good Morning to All”. When Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister‟s knowledge in the area of kindergarten education, …Good Morning to All”was sure to be a success. The sister published the song in a collection entitled “Song Stories of the Kindergarten”in 1893. Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University‟s Teachers College, a gentleman by the name Robert Coleman published the song, without the sisters‟permission. He added a second part, which is the familiar “Happy Birthday to You”.Mr. Coleman‟s addition of the second part made the song popular and, finally, the sisters” original first part disappeared. “Happy Birthday to You”had altogether replaced the sisters‟original song “Good Morning to All”. In 1916 Patty took legal action against Mr. Coleman. In court, she succeeded in proving that hey were the real owners of the song.1.teacher at a kindergarten2.Good Morning to All3.Happy Birthday to You4.Happy Birthday to You Good Morning to AllPossible Retelling for the Teacher‟s ReferenceThe story of “Happy Birthday to You” was a nice, sweet on eat the very beginning, but later turned into a bitter one. There were two sisters: one was Mildred Hill, and the other Patty Hill. The former had great musical talents, while the latter had knowledge of kindergarten education. Bu combining their abilities, the two produced a song called “Good Morning to All”. It was a success, and later published in a collection of songs for kindergartens.Thirty-one years later a man named Coleman published the song without the sisters‟ permission. To make things worse, he added a second part, which is the present “Happy Birthday to You”. This new song soon became popular and eventually it replaced the sisters‟ first part altogether. Then, in 1916, Patty took legal action against Coleman. In court she managed to prove that she and her sister really owned the song.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1: KaraokeDalin: It‟s Mike‟s birthday on Friday, so a bunch of us are going to go to the karaoke bar. Would you like to come with us?Laura: Karaoke bar?

F3.T4.T5.FTask 2: When was music first sent down a telephone line?So you think downloading music from the Internet through a phone line is a really cool modern thing? Not so. In 1896, Thaddeus Cahill Filed a patent on the instrument for transmitting music electronically, and until 1914 he sent music signals down telephone lines with this instrument. And he wasn‟t even the first. Elisha Gray transmitted music over a telephone line in 1876, which was the same year the telephone was invented. Gray invented the first electronic music instrument in 1874, calling it the “Musical Telegraph”. Alexander Graham Bell also designed an experimental “Electric Harp”for speech to be transmitted over a telephone line using technology similar to Gray‟s. Bell was a speech teacher for the deaf. In 1879 he created an instrument to measure hearing loss. That is why the degrees of loudness came to be measured in bels or decibels.5-4-2-1-3Task 3: Thank You for the MusicI‟m nothing special, in fact I‟m a bit of a boreIf I tell a joke, you‟re probably heard it beforeBut I have a talent, a wonderful thing…Cause everyone listens when I start to singI‟m so grateful and proudAll I want is to sing it out loudSo I sayThank you for the music, the songs I‟m singingThanks for all the joy they‟re bringingWho can live without it, I ask in all honestlyWhat would life beWithout a song or a dance what are weSo I say thank you for the musicFor giving it to meMother says I was a dancer before I could walkShe says I began to sing long before I could talkAnd I‟ve often wondered, how did it all startWho found out that nothing can capture a heartLike a melody canWell, whoever it was, I‟m a fanSo I sayThank you for the music, the songs I‟m singing…SpeakingMusical MemoriesTony: Listen! Quick, turn up the radio! Isn‟t that “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?”Nancy: Yeah, it is, but what‟s the big deal?Tony: When I was a little boy, my grandmother took me to see the movie The Lion King. That‟s the Elton John song from the movie.Nancy: I still can‟t understand why it‟s so important to you.Tony: Because it was the first movie I ever saw with my grandma and because I really loved spending time with her. It is my favorite song of all times!Nancy: The first time Tom and I went on a date, we went to see Titanic. I always think of the song “My Heart Will Go On” as our song!

At least we have the movies to watch in the meantime.Amy: By the way, have you seen the trailer yet?Peter: Yeah. It was great! I think the movie itself will be really scary.Amy: It surely will! All that writing on the wall in blood…It scares me to death just to think about it!Both the girl and the boy are excited/crazy about the movie and the hero Harry Potter. The boy heard that the writer J.K. Rowling has written the latest book, which is Book Seven, though the girl is still waiting for Book Five. The boy has been the trailer and believes the film will be scary. The girl shares that view because of the writing on the wall in blood.Task 2: A Great ActorThere was once a great actor who could no longer remember his lines. After several years of searching, he finally found a theater that was willing to give him a try. The director said, “This is the most important part, and it has only one line. At the opening you walk onto stage carrying a rose. You hold the rose to your nose with just one finger and thumb, smell it deeply and then say the line on praise of the rose: …Ah, the sweet smell of my love.‟” The actor was excited. All day long before the play he practiced his line over and over again. Finally, the time came. The curtain went up, the actor walked onto the stage, looked at the audience, and with great emotion said the line, “Ah, the sweet smell of my love.” The audience exploded in laughter. Only the director was furious! “Ahhhhhh! You damned fool!”he cried. “You‟ve ruined my play! You‟ve ruined me!”The actor was puzzled, “What happened? Did I forget my line?”“No!” shouted the director. “You forget the rose!”1.D2.C3.D4.A5.BTask 3: Movie ReviewsI love movies! And after I see them, I like to comment on them. These are movies I saw this year I would like to recommend: Among comedies I highly recommend “Monsoon Wedding”. It‟s an Indian movie. The story is about an Indian wedding. Preparations for the wedding bring out funny and sad situations touching on love and a past rape. This movie shows some of the wonderful customs of India, and the importance of family and love. It‟s great!Among dramas, I like “Adaptation”. It is an excellent movie! But for me the first part of the movie was too fast to follow. I hope to see it again on DVD with captions.“The Pianist” is set in the Second World War. It‟s about a young Polish-Jewish pianist, who lives in Warsaw with his family. The Nazis sent his family to die in the concentration camps. He was safe, but would have died without unusually good luck and the kindness of a few non-Jews. This is a powerful movie with thought-provoking themes.“Rabbit-Proof Fence” is set in the 1930s in Australia, and it‟s based on real events. It is about three native girls who are separated from their families by the racist police who send them to special centers. There the girls are taught practical skills, and the government tries to integrate them into white Australian society. They can away from the camp and walked 1,500 miles to find their mothers. This is a sad, touching story that you should not miss.1.He likes to see movies and comment on them.2.Four.3.Three.4.One.IV.

Let‟s TalkAlfred HitchcockAlfred Hitchcock was a British director. His movies frequently show innocent people caught up in situations beyond their control or even understanding.Hitchcock preferred the use of suspense in his movies. In surprise, the director provides the viewer with frightening things. In suspense, the director tells or shows things to the audience which the characters in the movie do not know, and then skillfully builds up tension around what will happen when the characters finally learn the truth. Hitchcock had a great sense of humor. Once at a Frenchairport, a suspicious customs official looked at Hitchcock‟s passport, which was marked simply PRODUCER. The curious official asked, “And what do you produce?”“Gooseflesh.”replied Hitchcock.Alfred Hitchcock always managed to make a brief appearance in his movies: He was sometimes getting on a bus, or crossing a street, pr walking in front of a store, or across the courtyard in an apartment. However, for the movie Lifeboat in 1944, he was faced with a difficult problem. The entire movie was set in a lifeboat out at sea, and there were only a few characters in the boat. Originally, he wanted to float by as a dead body, but he was afraid he‟d sink! His clever solution was to place a photograph of himself in a newspaper that one of the characters read during the course of the movie.1. A2.C3.DVI.

RowlingQ: How did you get the idea for Harry Potter?A: I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and the idea for Harry just fell into my head. At that point it was essentially the idea for a body who didn‟t know he was a wizard. Q: Did you always plan to write Harry‟s story in more than one book? If so, how many?A: I always conceived it as a seven-book series because I decided that it would take seven years, from age eleven to seventeen, inclusive, to train as a wizard, and each of the books would deal with one year of Harry‟s life at the school.Q: Any clues about the next book?A: I don‟t want to i\give anything away, but I tell you that the books are getting darker. Harry‟s going to have quite a bit to deal with as he gets older. Sorry if they get too scary!Q: Of the many things you must have heard people say about Harry Potter, what are some of your favorites?A: My very favorite was from a twelve-year-old Scottish girl who came to hear me read at the Edinburgh book festival. At the end of the festival, the queue for signing was very long. When the girl finally reached me, she said, “I didn‟t WANT there to be so many people here, because this is MY books!” That is exactly how I feel about my favorite books.

Let‟s TalkThe Origin of the Song “Happy Birthday to You”The story of the song “Happy Birthday to You”Began as a sweet one, but later became bitter. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at a kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the principal of the same school, wrote a song together for the children, entitled “Good Morning to All”. When Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister‟s knowledge in the area of kindergarten education, …Good Morning to All” was sure tobe a success. The sister published the song in a collection entitled “Song Stories of the Kindergarten” in 1893. Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty H i ll became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University‟s Teachers College, a gentleman by the name Robert Coleman published the song, without the sisters‟permission. He added a second part, which is the familiar “Happy Birthday to You”.Mr. Coleman‟s addition of the second part made the song popular and, finally, the sisters”original first part disappeared. “Happy Birthday to You”had altogether replaced the sisters‟original song “Good Morning to All”. In 1916 Patty took legal action against Mr. Coleman. In court, she succeeded in proving that hey were the real owners of the song.1. teacher at a kindergarten2. Good Morning to All3.

F3.T4.T5.FTask 2: When was music first sent down a telephone line?So you think downloading music from the Internet through a phone line is a really cool modern thing? Not so. In 1896, Thaddeus Cahill Filed a patent on the instrument for transmitting music electronically, and until 1914 he sent music signals down telephone lines with this instrument. And he wasn‟t even the first. Elisha Gray transmitted music over a telephone line in 1876, which was the same year the telephone was invented. Gray invented the first electronic music instrument in 1874, calling it the “Musical Telegraph”. Alexander Graham Bell also designed an experimental“Electric Harp”for speech to be transmitted over a telephone line using technology similar to Gray‟s. Bell was a speech teacher for the deaf. In 1879 he created an instrument to measure hearing loss. That is why the degrees of loudness came to be measured in bels or decibels.5-4-2-1-3Task 3: Thank You for the MusicI‟m nothing special, in fact I‟m a bit of a boreIf I tell a joke, you‟re probably heard it beforeBut I have a talent, a wonderful thing…Cause everyone listens when I start to singI‟m so grateful and proudAll I want is to sing it out loudSo I sayThank you for the music, the songs I‟m singingThanks for all the joy they‟re bringingWho can live without it, I ask in all honestlyWhat would life beWithout a song or a dance what are weSo I say thank you for the musicFor giving it to meMother says I was a dancer before I could walkShe says I began to sing long before I could talkAnd I‟ve often wondered, how did it all startWho found out that nothing can capture a heartLike a melody canWell, whoever it was, I‟m a fanSo I sayThank you for the music, the songs I‟m singing…SpeakingMusical MemoriesTony: Listen! Quick, turn up the radio! Isn‟t that “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?”Nancy: Yeah, it is, but what‟s the big deal?Tony: When I was a little boy, my grandmother took me to see the movie The Lion King. That‟s the Elton John song from the movie.Nancy: I still can‟t understand why it‟s so important to you.Tony: Because it was the first movie I ever saw with my grandma and because I really loved spending time with her. It is my favorite song of all times! Nancy: The first time Tom and I went on a date, we went to see Titanic. I always think of the song “My Heart Will Go On” as our song! Whenever I hear it, I think of that night.Tony: Oh, I can understand why you love that song! Isn‟t it interesting all the memories we connect with songs?UNIT2II. Listening Skills1.

I‟m crazy about Harry Potter. Have you heard that J.K. Rowling has added another book to the series?Amy: She‟s already written Book Seven? I‟m still waiting for Book Five…Peter: I know. Who isn‟t? At least we have the movies to watch in the meantime.Amy: By the way, have you seen the trailer yet?Peter: Yeah. It was great! I think the movie itself will be really scary.Amy: It surely will! All that writing on the wall in blood… It scares me to death just to think about it!Both the girl and the boy are excited/crazy about the movie and the hero Harry Potter. The boy heard that the writer J.K. Rowling has written the latest book, which is Book Seven, though the girl is still waiting for Book Five. The boy has been the trailer and believes the film will be scary. The girl shares that view because of the writing on the wall in blood.Task 2: A Great ActorThere was once a great actor who could no longer remember his lines. After several years of searching, he finally found a theater that was willing to give him a try. The director said, “This is the most important part, and it has only one line. At the opening you walk onto stage carrying a rose. You hold the rose to your nose with just one finger and thumb, smell it deeply and then say the line on praise of the rose: …Ah, the sweet smell of my love.‟” The actor was excited. All day long before the play he practiced his line over and over again. Finally, the time came. The curtain went up, the actor walked onto the stage, looked at the audience, and with great emotion said the line, “Ah, the sweet smell of my love.”The audience exploded in laughter. Only the director was furious! “Ahhhhhh! You damned fool!”he cried. “You‟ve ruined my play! You‟ve ruined me!”The actor was puzzled, “What happened? Did I forget my line?”“No!” shouted the director. “You forget the rose!”1.D2.C3.D4.A5.BTask 3: Movie ReviewsI love movies! And after I see them, I like to comment on them. These are movies I saw this year I would like to recommend: Among comedies I highly recommend “Monsoon Wedding”. It‟s an Indian movie. The story is about an Indian wedding. Preparations for the wedding bring out funny and sad situations touching on love and a past rape. This movie shows some of the wonderful customs of India, and the importance of family and love. It‟s great!Among dramas, I like “Adaptation”. It is an excellent movie! But for me the first part of the movie was too fast to follow. I hope to see it again on DVD with captions. “The Pianist”is set in the Second World War. It‟s about a young Polish-Jewish pianist, who lives in Warsaw with his family. The Nazis sent his family to die in the concentration camps. He was safe, but would have died without unusually good luck and the kindness of a few non-Jews. This is a powerful movie with thought-provoking themes.“Rabbit-Proof Fence”is set in the 1930s in Australia, and it‟s based on real events. It is about three native girls who are separated from their families by the racist police who send them to special centers. There the girls are taught practical skills, and the government tries to integrate them into white Australian society. They can away from the camp and walked 1,500 miles to find their mothers. This is a sad, touching story that you should not miss.1. He likes to see movies and comment on them.2. Four.3. Three.IV.

But I think this Star Wars episode was incredible!Laura: Why do you think so?John: Well, one of the most spectacular things about it was the special effects. State-of-the-artspecial effects were the main reason for the success of the previous episodes. Laura: You‟re right. The special effects were amazing! And I like the fact that they created somany fantastic settings and other-worldly costumes, weapons and creatures.

Why do you think so?A: Well, it‟s so interesting that the lives of the lions were similar to the lives of human beings.B: You‟re right. The murder in The Lion King was almost the same as the murder in the Shakespearean play Hamlet.Model 3 The plot is first-class.John: It‟s kind of cool that they still used the same Star Wars theme song for this movie.Laura: Yeah! It just reminds me of the previous Star Wars scenes.John: I know exactly what you mean! Hearing that song makes me think of the past. Laura: I think the plot was first-class. But I don‟t think the character development was that strong.John: Do you think that has anything to do with the casting of the movie? Laura: No, the casting was great; the actors are excellent, but I think the acting was a little weak. They just didn‟t have a lot of funny or meaningful lines. John: Well, maybe, but I liked the little kid that played “Skywalker”. I can‟t imagine anyone else playing that part.Laura: Yeah, I liked him too. He‟s soooo cute!Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: What do you think about the movie?B: I think the plot was first-class.

His movies frequently show innocent people caught up in situations beyond their control or even understanding.Hitchcock preferred the use of suspense in his movies. In surprise, the director provides the viewer with frightening things. In suspense, the director tells or shows things to the audience which the characters in the movie do not know, and then skillfully builds up tension around what will happen when the characters finally learn the truth. Hitchcock had a great sense of humor. Once at a French airport, a suspicious customs official looked at Hitchcock‟s passport, which was marked simply PRODUCER. The curious official asked, “And what do you produce?”“Gooseflesh.”replied Hitchcock.Alfred Hitchcock always managed to make a brief appearance in his movies: He was sometimes getting on a bus, or crossing a street, pr walking in front of a store, or across the courtyard in an apartment. However, for the movie Lifeboat in 1944, he was faced with a difficult problem. The entire movie was set in a lifeboat out at sea, and there were only a few characters in the boat.

Furthering Listening and Speaking ListeningTask 1: Only One LinePeter has always wanted to be an actor, but never succeeded because he had a hard time memorizing lines. A friend of his told him about a small part in a play. He promised Peter that he could do it because he‟s only have to remember one line. Peter decided to take the part. His only line was, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Peter practiced and practiced, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” On the opening night of the play Peter was very nervous. Backstage, he practiced his line, over and over again, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!Listen, I hear the guns roar!”Finally came his turn, Peter went onto stage. He heard a loud BOOM and cried out in spite of himself, “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?”1. memorizing lines2. remember one line3. I hear the guns roar4. a loud boom5. his lineTask 2: An Interview with J.K. RowlingQ: How did you get the idea for Harry Potter?A: I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and the idea for Harry just fell into my head. At that point it was essentially the idea for a body who didn‟t know he was a wizard.Q: Did you always plan to write Harry‟s story in more than one book? If so, how many? A: I always conceived it as a seven-book series because I decided that it would take seven years, from age eleven to seventeen, inclusive, to train as a wizard, and each of the books would deal with one year of Harry‟s life at the school. Q: Any clues about the next book?A: I don‟t want to i\give anything away, but I tell you that the books are getting darker. Harry‟s going to have quite a bit to deal with as he gets older. Sorry if they get too scary!Q: Of the many things you must have heard people say about Harry Potter, what are some of your favorites?A: My very favorite was from a twelve-year-old Scottish girl who came to hear me read at the Edinburgh book festival. At the end of the festival, the queue for signing was very long. When the girl finally reached me, she said, “I didn‟t WANT there to be so many people here, because this is MY books!” That is exactly how I feel about my favorite books. Nobody else has a right to know them; let alone like them!1.T2.F3.F4.T5.FTask 3: The Secret of the Next Harry Potter BookThe Harry Potter books rapidly became one of the most in-demand book series among young readers and have earned large sums of money.

Because of the long wait since Book Four, they are guessing many things. Some think that Professor Lupin will die or that Harry and his friend Ron may be related!J.K. Rowling herself has only said that Book Five will be shorter and scarier than Book Four. To make sure her readers hear only rumors, she locks all her ideas for the books in a hidden place.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer to each question.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog.What is the value of the humanities? Why should we study the humanities given the currenteconomic recession? In this new era of continuous unemployment slides and shrinking university funds, questions about the importance of the humanities in a complex and technologically demanding world have taken on new urgency.While the humanities may not seem as important as engineering, chemistry, or any of the other "hard" sciences, it still plays a significant role in the world. There is a great misunderstanding of what the humanities are and what they can do. People often assume that the humanities are just about reading the great literary and philosophical works and understanding the question of what living is for.I would argue that humanities –at least from a Cultural Studies perspective –is much more than reading the classic works and speculating about the meaning of life. In Cultural Studies, we apply theory to practice. Thinking and acting outside of the ivory tower, Cultural Studies attempts to produce research that engages with the public. As a cultural researcher, I am constantly asking myself the "So what?" question. Why does this topic matter? Why should people care?This continuous self-questioning helps bridge the gap between theory and practice. While I am learning for the sake of learning, I believe scholars have the responsibility to think about the ways in which their research relates to the larger picture. What is the point of research if it doesn't affect the way people think about and act in the world?One thing I think Cultural Studies does effectively is rethinking the way we have traditionally thought about things. In Cultural Studies, few things –if anything –are taken for granted. Our research is largely driven by the question of what it means to be human. Through critical and creative engagement, we attempt to speculate on a question in a way that inspires people to imagine what might be instead of what is.This critical and creative engagement is especially important given the worsening state of the economy and the need for creative ways of being in the world.1. Why has the question of studying the humanities taken on new urgency?A. More people have realized its importance.B. It has become a more interesting topic.C. It's driven by the current economic downturn.D. It's compelled by today's complex world.2. According to the author, what's the assumption of the general public?A. "Hard" sciences are more important than the humanities.B. Most people don't know who they are and what they can do.C. People don't really understand the meaning of life.D. The humanities are only to do with literatures and philosophies.3. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. It asks "So what?" question.B. It argues to support the humanities.C. It produces research to get involved with people.D. It tries to think and act outside of the ivory tower.4. What is the author's point in Paragraph 4?A. Do the research that will impact on people.B. Bridge the gap between theory and practice.C. Learn things for the sake of learning.D. Lake the responsibility to do research.5. According to the author, "rethinking" means ________.A. to think what it means to be humanB. to believe nothing is certainC. to question the traditional way of thinkingD. to use a unique way of thinkingQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Today, colleges and universities are under strong attack. Teachers are not doing a good job of teaching, and students are not doing a good job of learning. College graduates lack both basic skills and general knowledge.One aspect of college education, too seldom challenged, is the lecture system. One problem with lectures is that listening intelligently is hard work. Reading the same material in a textbook is a more efficient way to learn because students can adjust the speed as they need to until the subject matter becomes clear to them. Even simply paying attention is very difficult: people can listen at a rate of 400 to 600 words a minute, while the most enthusiastic professor talks at a much faster speed.Worse still, attending lectures is passive learning, at least for inexperienced listeners. Active learning, in which students write essays or perform experiments and then have their work evaluated by an instructor, is far more beneficial for those who have not yet fully learned how to learn. While it's true that techniques of active listening can enhance the value of a lecture, few students possess such skills at the beginning of their college careers. What they do is usually write everything down.Students need to question their professors and to have their ideas taken seriously. Only then will they develop the analytical skills required to think intelligently and creatively. Most students learn best by engaging in frequent and even heated debate. Smaller classes in which students are required to involve themselves in discussion put an end to students' passivity. Students become actively involved when forced to question their own ideas as well as the professor's. Classes like this require energy, imagination, and commitment from both the teacher and students. Students are compelled to share responsibility for their own intellectual growth.Lectures will never entirely disappear from the university both because they seem to be economically necessary and they spring from a long tradition. If lecture classes were restricted to junior and senior undergraduates, they would be far less destructive of students' interest and enthusiasms than the present system.6. Why does the author argue that a lecture class is not efficient?A. Students don't have listening ability at the beginning.B. Many teachers don't care about students' comprehension.C. Students learn things at an extremely slow speed.D. Teachers may evaluate students' work later.7. "Passive learning" means ________.A. learning things slowly in a lecture classB. studying on one's own at homeC. writing everything down from the lectureD. anticipating the teacher's next point8. According to the author, what kind of learning is more efficient?A. Question professors.B. Take small classes.C. Have class discussion.D. Engage in debate.9. Why does the author think asking questions is important in active learning?A. Because it can help students learn more creatively and quickly.B. Because it can improve students' analytical skills.C. Because it can challenge themselves and the professor.D. Because it can make them look smart.10. The author predicts that ________.A. lectures will die out eventuallyB. lectures will be as destructive as todayC. lectures will still exist at college and universitiesD. lectures won't destroy students' interest in learningQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog.After men landed on the moon in 1969, astronauts (宇航员) around the world had a problem –there were no other places they could go! Even today, the other planets are still too far away for astronauts to fly to. So while rockets and robots can go to other planets, manned flights have to stay closer to home. Therefore, manned space programs have turned their attention to solving problems related to living and working in space.Currently, NASA's (US National Aeronautics and Space Administration) manned space explorationprogram focuses on the space shuttle program. NASA now operates three space shuttles, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavor. Unfortunately, two of NASA's shuttles, Challenger and Columbia, were lost through accidents. Seven astronauts died in each accident. The program completed 135 missions when the program ended with the successful landing at the Kennedy Space Center on July 21, 2011. These missions have included putting satellites into orbit, photographing the earth, studying space, conducting experiments related to working in space, and connecting with various manned space station in orbit.Throughout the short history of the exploration of space, several space stations have been put into orbit. The first manned space station was the Soviet station Salyut 1, put into orbit in 1971. Later, in 1986, the Soviet Union launched the Mir space station. Mir stayed in orbit until March 23, 2001. Over that time, 104 astronauts visited the station to stay for various lengths of time. The person who has spent the longest in space so far is Russian astronaut Valeri Polyakov. Working as the doctor aboard the station, he lived on Mir for 438 days without returning to earth. In total, Polyakov worked aboard Mir for 678 days before retiring.Today, astronauts from around the world are working together to complete the International Space Station (ISS). The construction began in 1998, and the US Orbital Segment was completed in 2011. Operations are expected to continue until at least 2020. In the long run, it is hoped that the ISS will be a place where people can live and work all year round.11. Why can't astronauts travel to other planets now?A. Because there are not enough space shuttles.B. Because there have been too many rocket accidents.C. Because the journey would take too long for human.D. Because there are too many problems here on Earth.12. What is the fact of NASA's manned space exploration program?A. Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavor were lost through accidents.B. Challenger and Columbia are the current space shuttles.C. Seven astronauts died in accidents.D. NASA had completed 135 missions by July 21, 2011.13. What is TRUE about Valeri Polyakov?A. He has spent more time in space than anyone else.B. He stayed aboard Mir for 678 days at one time.C. He is still an astronaut though he is retired.D. He often helped the doctor at the Mir space station.14. What is TRUE about the International Space Station?A. It is being built by the United States alone.B. It will be launched into space in 2011.C. It was completed in 1998.D. It will eventually have people living and working there.15. What is the best title for this passage?A. Valeri Polyakov —An Amazing AstronautB. The Past and Future of Space TravelC. Space Cities of the FutureD. Living and Working on the International Space StationQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the same passage or dialog.What do Leonardo da Vinci (达芬奇) and Albert Einstein have in common? They were both left-handed, along with other famous people including Pablo Picasso (毕加索). In fact, an estimated 11 percent of Americans and Europeans are left-handed.Most people around the world are right-handed. This fact also seems to have held true throughout history. In 1977, scientists studied works of art made at various time in history starting with cave drawings from 15,000 B.C. and ending with paintings from the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works of art are right-handed, so scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common.Many researchers claim to have found relationships between left-handedness and various physical and mental characteristics, such as blond hair, blue eyes, vegetarianism, and sleep difficulties. Other studies have found a higher-than-normal level of left-handed people in certain occupations, including professional baseball and tennis players, architects, lawyers, as well as prisoners. However, some of these connections are very weak, and others haven't been proven.What makes a person become right-handed rather than left-handed? As yet, no one really knows for sure. One simple idea suggests that people normally get right-handedness from their parents. Studies have found that two right-handed parents have only 9.5 percent chance of having a left-handed child, while two left-handed parents have a 26 percent chance of having a left-handed child. Another common theory is that left-handed people suffer mild brain damage during their birth.Whatever the reasons behind it, people's attitudes toward left-handedness have changed a lot over the years. Statistics show that although 13 percent of young people (10-12 years old) are left-handed, only 6 percent of the elderly are left-handed. Left-handed children used to be punished until they began using their right hand like other children, but today people who are left-handed are no longer looked down upon nor are they considered abnormal.For most people today either case is perfectly acceptable. There are even a number of shops now that specialize in selling products designed for left-handed people, such as left-handed scissors, can openers, guitars, and even a left-handed camera. Don't you think it's wonderful?16. From studying works of art, scientists have learned that ________.A. left-handed people are better artistsB. most artists are left-handedC. most people in history were right-handedD. cave drawings were drawn using both hands17. What is talking about in the Paragraph 3?A. People with certain characteristics are better at certain jobs.B. Left-handed people are better at some jobs.C. Left-handedness is linked with certain characters and occupations.D. There are some reasons why people are left-handed.18. Why is a person right-handed?A. It is caused by the person's parents.B. It is due to the environment the person lives in.C. It is suffered a mild brain damage at birth.D. It is not sure about specific reasons yet.19. What can be assumed about the children of two left-handed parents?A. Many of them are left-handed.B. Most of them are right-handed.C. Most of them use both hands equally.D. Very few of them are left-handed.20. Left-handed children ________.A. are usually looked down uponB. are exceptionally talented like EinsteinC. are thought of as abnormalD. were often forced to become right-handedQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the same passage or dialog.Worldwide, 40 million new passenger cars are built every year. A recent survey estimates that the number of cars will triple over the next 20 years. Most of this growth will take place in China. In comparison, the United States has been completely transformed by cars.Cars did not become necessities for families in the United States until after World War II. Prior to that time, cars were seen mainly as toys for the rich. By the end of the war, however, people were tired of saving their money. They were ready to have some fun. Unlike Europe and Japan, whose industries had been wiped out by World War II, factories in the United States could quickly be changed from production of wartime items to mass production of such luxury items as cars.As cars grew in popularity in the United States, there were also changes in lifestyle. Farmers who were once isolated from society by rural life now took weekend trips into the city. Also, workers in the cities no longer needed to live in inner-city housing in order to keep their jobs at nearby factories. Those who made enough money moved out of the cities and into the suburbs. Nowthat each family had its own car, going to work from the suburbs became a common practice.Cars not only changed the way people lived, but also changed the way they thought. Traditionally, because young people spent most of their time outside school in and around the home, the strongest role models for teenagers were their parents. However, once they had access to their own cars, teens began spending more time out with friends. Therefore, they became less likely to follow the behavior of their parents and more likely to follow their friends'.One thing producers paid little attention to, however, was safety. It wasn't until the mid-1960s that consumers began to demand that all car companies include at least a few common safety features in new cars. These new standards eventually led to safety features such as seat belts, air bags, anti-lock brakes, and automatic door locks.21. Why cars didn't sell as well in Europe as in the United States?A. Because people weren't interested in cars.B. Because fewer factories were able to make cars.C. Because people couldn't afford cars.D. Because fewer people lived on farms.22. According to the passage, what was the greatest benefit of cars to American life?A. They provided people with more freedom to travel.B. They encouraged people to drive cars to and from work.C. They led to the development of drive-in movies and drive-through restaurants.D. They allowed teenagers to spend more time with their friends.23. The main point of Paragraph 4 is that cars ________.A. caused families to grow closerB. changed the thoughts of teenagersC. changed the lives of adultsD. made everyday life easy and fun24. What caused the change of the car safety features?A. Many car accidents during 1960s.B. The regulations by the government.C. The standards by the car company.D. Customers who would purchase cars.25. What's the main theme of the passage?A. The US has most of the cars in the world.B. China will soon surpass the US in the car market.C. Americans' lives have changed a lot with the car industry.D.

Questions1to5are based on the same passage or dialog. What is the value of the humanities?Why should we study the humanities given the currenteconomic recession?In this new era of continuous unemployment slides and shrinking university funds, questions about the importance of the humanities in a complex and technologically demanding world have taken on new urgency.While the humanities may not seem as important as engineering,chemistry,or any of the other"hard" sciences,it still plays a significant role in the world. There is a great misunderstanding of what the humanities are and what they can do.People often assume that the humanities are just about reading the great literary andphilosophical works and understanding the question of what living is for.I would argue that humanities–at least from a Cultural Studies perspective–is much more than reading the classic works and speculating about the meaning of life. In Cultural Studies,we apply theory to practice.Thinking and acting outside of the ivory tower,Cultural Studies attempts to produce research that engages with the public. As a cultural researcher,I am constantly asking myself the"So what?"question.Why does this topic matter?Why should people care?This continuous self-questioning helps bridge the gap between theory and practice.While I am learning for the sake of learning,I believe scholars have the responsibility to think about the ways in which their research relates to the larger picture.What is the point of research if it doesn't affect the way people think about and act in the world?One thing I think Cultural Studies does effectively is rethinking the way we have traditionally thought about things.In Cultural Studies,few things–if anything–are taken for granted.Our research is largely driven bythe question of what it means to be human.Through critical and creative engagement,we attempt to speculate on a question in a way that inspires people to imagine what might be instead of what is.This critical and creative engagement is especially important given the worsening state of the economy and the need for creative ways of being in the world.1.Why has the question of studying the humanities taken on new urgency?A.More people have realized its importance.B.It has become a more interesting topic.C.It's driven by the current economic downturn.D.It's compelled by today's complex world.2.According to the author,what's the assumption of the general public?A."Hard"sciences are more important than the humanities.B.Most people don't know who they are and what they can do.C.People don't really understand the meaning of life.D.The humanities are only to do with literatures and philosophies.3.What does Paragraph3mainly talk about?A.It asks"So what?"question.B.It argues to support the humanities.C.It produces research to get involved with people.D.It tries to think and act outside of the ivory tower.4.What is the author's point in Paragraph4?A.Do the research that will impact on people.B.Bridge the gap between theory and practice.C.Learn things for the sake of learning.ke the responsibility to do research.5.According to the author,"rethinking"means________.A.to think what it means to be humanB.to believe nothing is certainC.to question the traditional way of thinkingD.to use a unique way of thinkingQuestions6to10are based on the same passage or dialog. Today,colleges and universities are under strong attack. Teachers are not doing a good job of teaching,and students are not doing a good job of learning.College graduates lack both basic skills and general knowledge.One aspect of college education,too seldom challenged, is the lecture system.One problem with lectures is that listening intelligently is hard work.Reading the samematerial in a textbook is a more efficient way to learn because students can adjust the speed as they need to until the subject matter becomes clear to them.Even simply paying attention is very difficult:people can listen at a rate of400to600words a minute,while the most enthusiastic professor talks at a much faster speed. Worse still,attending lectures is passive learning,at least for inexperienced listeners.Active learning,in which students write essays or perform experiments and then have their work evaluated by an instructor,is far more beneficial for those who have not yet fully learned how to learn.While it's true that techniques of active listening can enhance the value of a lecture,few students possess such skills at the beginning of their college careers.What they do is usually write everything down. Students need to question their professors and to have their ideas taken seriously.Only then will they develop the analytical skills required to think intelligently and creatively.Most students learn best by engaging in frequent and even heated debate.Smaller classes in which students are required to involve themselves in discussion put an end to students'passivity.Students becomeactively involved when forced to question their own ideas as well as the professor's.Classes like this require energy,imagination,and commitment from both the teacher and students.Students are compelled to share responsibility for their own intellectual growth. Lectures will never entirely disappear from the university both because they seem to be economically necessary and they spring from a long tradition.If lecture classes were restricted to junior and senior undergraduates,they would be far less destructive of students'interest and enthusiasms than the present system.6.Why does the author argue that a lecture class is not efficient?A.Students don't have listening ability at the beginning.B.Many teachers don't care about students'comprehension.C.Students learn things at an extremely slow speed.D.Teachers may evaluate students'work later.7."Passive learning"means________.A.learning things slowly in a lecture classB.studying on one's own at homeC.writing everything down from the lectureD.anticipating the teacher's next point8.According to the author,what kind of learning is more efficient?A.Question professors.B.Take small classes.C.Have class discussion.D.Engage in debate.9.Why does the author think asking questions is important in active learning?A.Because it can help students learn more creatively and quickly.B.Because it can improve students'analytical skills.C.Because it can challenge themselves and the professor.D.Because it can make them look smart.10.The author predicts that________.A.lectures will die out eventuallyB.lectures will be as destructive as todayC.lectures will still exist at college and universitiesD.lectures won't destroy students'interest in learning Questions11to15are based on the same passage or dialog. After men landed on the moon in1969,astronauts(宇航员) around the world had a problem–there were no other places they could go!Even today,the other planets are still toofar away for astronauts to fly to.So while rockets and robots can go to other planets,manned flights have to stay closer to home.Therefore,manned space programs have turned their attention to solving problems related to living and working in space.Currently,NASA's(US National Aeronautics and Space Administration)manned space explorationprogram focuses on the space shuttle program.NASA now operates three space shuttles,Discovery,Atlantis,and Endeavor.Unfortunately,two of NASA's shuttles, Challenger and Columbia,were lost through accidents. Seven astronauts died in each accident.The program completed135missions when the program ended with the successful landing at the Kennedy Space Center on July21, 2011.These missions have included putting satellites into orbit,photographing the earth,studying space, conducting experiments related to working in space,and connecting with various manned space station in orbit. Throughout the short history of the exploration of space, several space stations have been put into orbit.The first manned space station was the Soviet station Salyut1,put into orbit ter,in1986,the Soviet Unionlaunched the Mir space station.Mir stayed in orbit until March23,2001.Over that time,104astronauts visited the station to stay for various lengths of time.The person who has spent the longest in space so far is Russian astronaut Valeri Polyakov.Working as the doctor aboard the station,he lived on Mir for438days without returning to earth.In total,Polyakov worked aboard Mir for678days before retiring.Today,astronauts from around the world are working together to complete the International Space Station(ISS). The construction began in1998,and the US Orbital Segment was completed in2011.Operations are expected to continue until at least2020.In the long run,it is hoped that the ISS will be a place where people can live and work all year round.11.Why can't astronauts travel to other planets now?A.Because there are not enough space shuttles.B.Because there have been too many rocket accidents.C.Because the journey would take too long for human.D.Because there are too many problems here on Earth.12.What is the fact of NASA's manned space exploration program?A.Discovery,Atlantis,and Endeavor were lost through accidents.B.Challenger and Columbia are the current space shuttles.C.Seven astronauts died in accidents.D.NASA had completed135missions by July21,2011.13.What is TRUE about Valeri Polyakov?A.He has spent more time in space than anyone else.B.He stayed aboard Mir for678days at one time.C.He is still an astronaut though he is retired.D.He often helped the doctor at the Mir space station.14.What is TRUE about the International Space Station?A.It is being built by the United States alone.B.It will be launched into space in2011.C.It was completed in1998.D.It will eventually have people living and working there.15.What is the best title for this passage?A.Valeri Polyakov—An Amazing AstronautB.The Past and Future of Space TravelC.Space Cities of the FutureD.Living and Working on the International Space Station Questions16to20are based on the same passage or dialog. What do Leonardo da Vinci(达芬奇)and Albert Einstein havein common?They were both left-handed,along with other famous people including Pablo Picasso(毕加索).In fact, an estimated11percent of Americans and Europeans are left-handed.Most people around the world are right-handed.This fact also seems to have held true throughout history.In1977, scientists studied works of art made at various time in history starting with cave drawings from15,000B.C.and ending with paintings from the1950s.Most of the people shown in these works of art are right-handed,so scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common. Many researchers claim to have found relationships between left-handedness and various physical and mental characteristics,such as blond hair,blue eyes, vegetarianism,and sleep difficulties.Other studies have found a higher-than-normal level of left-handed people in certain occupations,including professional baseball and tennis players,architects,lawyers,as well as prisoners. However,some of these connections are very weak,and others haven't been proven.What makes a person become right-handed rather than left-handed?As yet,no one really knows for sure.Onesimple idea suggests that people normally get right-handedness from their parents.Studies have found that two right-handed parents have only9.5percent chance of having a left-handed child,while two left-handed parents have a26percent chance of having a left-handed child.Another common theory is that left-handed people suffer mild brain damage during their birth.Whatever the reasons behind it,people's attitudes toward left-handedness have changed a lot over the years. Statistics show that although13percent of young people (10-12years old)are left-handed,only6percent of the elderly are left-handed.Left-handed children used to be punished until they began using their right hand like other children,but today people who are left-handed are no longer looked down upon nor are they considered abnormal. For most people today either case is perfectly acceptable. There are even a number of shops now that specialize in selling products designed for left-handed people,such as left-handed scissors,can openers,guitars,and even a left-handed camera.Don't you think it's wonderful? 16.From studying works of art,scientists have learned that________.A.left-handed people are better artistsB.most artists are left-handedC.most people in history were right-handedD.cave drawings were drawn using both hands17.What is talking about in the Paragraph3?A.People with certain characteristics are better at certain jobs.B.Left-handed people are better at some jobs.C.Left-handedness is linked with certain characters and occupations.D.There are some reasons why people are left-handed.18.Why is a person right-handed?A.It is caused by the person's parents.B.It is due to the environment the person lives in.C.It is suffered a mild brain damage at birth.D.It is not sure about specific reasons yet.19.What can be assumed about the children of two left-handed parents?A.Many of them are left-handed.B.Most of them are right-handed.C.Most of them use both hands equally.D.Very few of them are left-handed.20.Left-handed children________.A.are usually looked down uponB.are exceptionally talented like EinsteinC.are thought of as abnormalD.were often forced to become right-handedQuestions21to25are based on the same passage or dialog. Worldwide,40million new passenger cars are built every year.A recent survey estimates that the number of cars will triple over the next20years.Most of this growth will take place in China.In comparison,the United States has been completely transformed by cars.Cars did not become necessities for families in the United States until after World War II.Prior to that time,cars were seen mainly as toys for the rich.By the end of the war,however,people were tired of saving their money.They were ready to have some fun.Unlike Europe and Japan,whose industries had been wiped out by World War II,factories in the United States could quickly be changed from production of wartime items to mass production of such luxury items as cars.As cars grew in popularity in the United States,there were also changes in lifestyle.Farmers who were once isolatedfrom society by rural life now took weekend trips into the city.Also,workers in the cities no longer needed to live in inner-city housing in order to keep their jobs at nearby factories.Those who made enough money moved out of the cities and into the suburbs.Nowthat each family had its own car,going to work from the suburbs became a common practice.Cars not only changed the way people lived,but also changed the way they thought.Traditionally,because young people spent most of their time outside school in and around the home,the strongest role models for teenagers were their parents.However,once they had access to their own cars,teens began spending more time out with friends. Therefore,they became less likely to follow the behavior of their parents and more likely to follow their friends'. One thing producers paid little attention to,however,was safety.It wasn't until the mid-1960s that consumers began to demand that all car companies include at least a few common safety features in new cars.These new standards eventually led to safety features such as seat belts,air bags,anti-lock brakes,and automatic door locks.21.Why cars didn't sell as well in Europe as in the UnitedStates?A.Because people weren't interested in cars.B.Because fewer factories were able to make cars.C.Because people couldn't afford cars.D.Because fewer people lived on farms.22.According to the passage,what was the greatest benefit of cars to American life?A.They provided people with more freedom to travel.B.They encouraged people to drive cars to and from work.C.They led to the development of drive-in movies and drive-through restaurants.D.They allowed teenagers to spend more time with their friends.23.The main point of Paragraph4is that cars________.A.caused families to grow closerB.changed the thoughts of teenagersC.changed the lives of adultsD.made everyday life easy and fun24.What caused the change of the car safety features?A.Many car accidents during1960s.B.The regulations by the government.C.The standards by the car company.D.Customers who would purchase cars.25.What's the main theme of the passage?A.The US has most of the cars in the world.B.China will soon surpass the US in the car market.C.Americans'lives have changed a lot with the car industry.D.Europeans were living in poverty after World War II.。

You might just miss it.Q: What does the man mean?1. A2.D3.B4.C5.BIII. Listening InTask 1: Waiting for the New Harry Potter MovieAmy: I’m so excited about finally seeing this movie!Peter: Me too. I’m crazy about Harry Potter. Have you heard that J.K. Rowling has added another book to the series? Amy: She’s already written Book Seven? I’m still waiting for Book Five…Peter: I know. Who isn’t? At least we have the movies to watch in the meantime.Amy: By the way, have you seen the trailer yet?Peter: Yeah. It was great! I think the movie itself will be really scary.Amy: It surely will! All that writing on the wall in blood… It scares me to death just to think about it!Both the girl and the boy are excited/crazy about the movie and the hero Harry Potter. The boy heard that the writer J.K. Rowling has written the latest book, which is Book Seven, though the girl is still waiting for Book Five. The boy has been the trailer and believes the film will be scary. The girl shares that view because of the writing on the wall in blood.Task 2: A Great ActorThere was once a great actor who could no longer remember his lines. After several years of searching, he finally found a theater that was willing to give him a try. The director said, “This is the most important part, and it has only one line. At the opening you walk onto stage carrying a rose. You hold the rose to your nose with just one finger and thumb, smell it deeply and then say the line on praise of the rose: ‘Ah, the sweet smell of my love.’” The actor was excited. All day long before the play he practiced his line over and over again. Finally, the time came. The curtain went up, the actor walked onto the stage, looked at the audience, and with great emotion said the line, “Ah, the sweet smell of my love.”The audience exploded in laughter. Only the director was furious! “Ahhhhhh! You damned fool!”he cried. “You’ve ruined my play! You’ve ruined me!” The actor was puzzled, “What happened? Did I forget my line?”“No!” shouted the director. “You forget the rose!”1.D2.C3.D4.A5.BTask 3: Movie ReviewsI love movies! And after I see them, I like to comment on them. These are movies I saw this year I would like to recommend: Among comedies I highly recommend “Monsoon Wedding”. It’s an Indian movie. The story is about an Indian wedding. Preparations for the wedding bring out funny and sad situations touching on love and a past rape. This movie shows some of the wonderful customs of India, and the importance of family and love. It’s great!Among dramas, I like “Adaptation”. It is an excellent movie! But for me the first part of the movie was too fast to follow.I hope to see it again on DVD with captions.“The Pianist”is set in the Second World War. It’s about a young Polish-Jewish pianist, who lives in Warsaw with his family. The Nazis sent his family to die in the concentration camps. He was safe, but would have died without unusually good luck and the kindness of a few non-Jews. This is a powerful movie with thought-provoking themes.“Rabbit-Proof Fence” is set in the 1930s in Australia, and it’s based on real events. It is about three native girls who are separated from their families by the racist police who send them to special centers. There the girls are taught practical skills, and the government tries to integrate them into white Australian society. They can away from the camp and walked 1,500 miles to find their mothers. This is a sad, touching story that you should not miss.1.He likes to see movies and comment on them.2.Four.3.Three.4.One.Model 1 Will you come withme?John: Laura, I amwondering if you’re freetomorrow night.Laura: Well, I guess I am.Why?John: I’ve got two StarWars premiere tickets.Will you come with me?Laura: Yeah, definitely!Thanks for inviting me!John: It’s my pleasure.Laura: I really wanted tosee Star Wars on theopening night, but the tickets were sold out. How did you manage to get hold of them?John: A friend of mine works at the “Pepsi” headquarters, which is a major sponsor of the movie. So he was able to get the tickets for free.Laura: Wow, people are paying as much as $200 each on the black market. I’m flattered you went through all this trouble just for me.John: You’re welcome.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Hi, are you busy this weekend?B: Yes. What’s on your mind?A: I’ve got two tickets for the car exhibition. Would you like to go with me?B: Sure. Thanks for your invitation.A: It’s nothing.B: I’ve been wanting to see exhibition, but it was not at all easy to get a ticket. How did you manage to get two tickets? A: A friend of mine works at the exhibition center. She was able to get three free tickets.B: Wow, people are paying almost 100 yuan for a ticket on the black market. Thank you very much indeed for inviting me. A: No problem.Model 2 What did you think about the movie?John: So…what did you think about the movie?Laura: Well… I think this Star Wars episode is an excellent piece of work, but not as good as theprevious ones.John: Really? But I think this Star Wars episode was incredible!Laura: Why do you think so?John: Well, one of the most spectacular things about it was the special effects. State-of-the-art special effects were the main reason for the success of the previous episodes.Laura: You’re right. The special effects were amazing! And I like the fact that they created so many fantastic settings and other-worldly costumes, weapons and creatures.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: What did you think about The Lion King?B: Well… I think this cartoon was pretty good, but not as good as Beauty and the Beast. It’s a killer flick.A: Really? But I think The Lion King was unbelievably good.B: I thought it was just OK. Why do you think so?A: Well, it’s so interesting that the lives of the lions were similar to the lives of human beings.B: You’re right. The murder in The Lion King was almost the same as the murder in the Shakespearean play Hamlet.Model 3 The plot is first-class.John: It’s kind of cool that they still used the same Star Wars theme song for this movie.Laura: Yeah! It just reminds me of the previous Star Wars scenes.John: I know exactly what you mean! Hearing that song makes me think of the past.Laura: I think the plot was first-class. But I don’t think the character development was that strong.John: Do you think that has anything to do with the casting of the movie?Laura: No, the casting was great; the actors are excellent, but I think the acting was a little weak. They just didn’t have a lot of funny or meaningful lines.John: Well, maybe, but I liked the little kid that played “Skywalker”. I can’t imagine anyone else playing that part.Laura: Yeah, I liked him too. He’s soooo cute!Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: What do you think about the movie?B: I think the plot was first-class. But I don’t think the character development was so strong.A: Yes, the characterization was rather weak. Do you think it is because of the casting of the movie?B: No, the cast was strong. But the acting was rather poor. And the lines are not interesting at all.A: Well, maybe. But I liked the heroine of the movie. She is excellent.B: Yeah, I liked her too. She’s adorable!V. Let’s TalkAlfred HitchcockAlfred Hitchcock was a British director. His movies frequently show innocent people caught up in situations beyond their control or even understanding.Hitchcock preferred the use of suspense in his movies. In surprise, the director provides the viewer with frightening things. In suspense, the director tells or shows things to the audience which the characters in the movie do not know, and then skillfully builds up tension around what will happen when the characters finally learn the truth. Hitchcock had a great sense of humor. Once at a French airport, a suspicious customs official looked at Hitchcock’s passport, which was marked simply PRODUCER. The curious official asked, “And what do you produce?”“Gooseflesh.” replied Hitchcock.Alfred Hitchcock always managed to make a brief appearance in his movies: He was sometimes getting on a bus, or crossing a street, pr walking in front of a store, or across the courtyard in an apartment. However, for the movie Lifeboat in 1944, he was faced with a difficult problem. The entire movie was set in a lifeboat out at sea, and there were only a few characters in the boat. Originally, he wanted to float by as a dead body, but he was afraid he’d sink! His clever solution was to placea photograph of himself in a newspaper that one of the characters read during the course of the movie.1. A2.C3.DVI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingListeningTask 1: Only One LinePeter has always wanted to be an actor, but never succeeded because he had a hard time memorizing lines. A friend of his told him about a small part in a play. He promised Peter that he could do it because he’s only have to remember one line. Peter decided to take the part. His only line was, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!”Peter practiced and practiced, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” On the opening night of the play Peter was very nervous. Backstage, he practiced his line, over and over again, “Listen, I hear the guns roar! Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Finally came his turn, Peter went onto stage. He heard a loud BOOM and cried out in spite of himself, “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?”1.memorizing lines2.remember one line3.I hear the guns roar4. a loud boom5.his lineTask 2: An Interview with J.K. RowlingQ: How did you get the idea for Harry Potter?A: I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and the idea for Harry just fell into my head. At that point it was essentially the idea for a body who didn’t know he was a wizard.Q: Did you always plan to write Harry’s story in more than one book? If so, how many?A: I always conceived it as a seven-book series because I decided that it would take seven years, from age eleven to seventeen, inclusive, to train as a wizard, and each of the books would deal with one year of Harry’s life at the school.Q: Any clues about the next book?A: I don’t want to i\give anything away, but I tell you that the books are getting darker. Harry’s going to have quitea bit to deal with as he gets older. Sorry if they get too scary!Q: Of the many things you must have heard people say about Harry Potter, what are some of your favorites?A: My very favorite was from a twelve-year-old Scottish girl who came to hear me read at the Edinburgh book festival. At the end of the festival, the queue for signing was very long. When the girl finally reached me, she said, “I didn’t WANT there to be so many people here, because this is MY books!” That is exactly how I feel about my favorite books. Nobody else has a right to know them; let alone like them!1.T2.F3.F4.T5.FTask 3: The Secret of the Next Harry Potter BookThe Harry Potter books rapidly became one of the most in-demand book series among young readers and have earned large sums of money. Movies based on the books won several Oscar nominations. Readers are now keen to know the plot of the next book. Harry Potter movie fans will get a long-awaited treat. The movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret is finally about to come out. This time around, Harry discovers a frightening secret at Hogwarts School. Eager readers of the first four Harry Potter books are also trying to discover a secret, the secret plot of the fifth book in the series. Because of the long wait since Book Four, they are guessing many things. Some think that Professor Lupin will die or that Harry and his friend Ron may be related!J.K. Rowling herself has only said that Book Five will be shorter and scarier than Book Four. To make sure her readers hear only rumors, she locks all her ideas for the books in a hidden place. Since the next book does not come out until 2003, formow Harry’s secret is safe with her!1. D2.C3.A4.BSpeakingViews on MoviesInterviewer: Hello, Robert and Richard, I’d like to ask you something about movies. Do you prefer going to the theater or watching movies on video at home?Robert: I prefer, personally, going to the theater, because I believe there are certain movies that come over better when you see them in a large theater. The sound effect is much better.Interviewer: What about you, Richard?Richard: Just the opposite. It’s more comfortable to sit at home.Interviewer: There’re many different movie genres, for example, science fiction, action, comedy, romance. What’s your personal favorite?Robert: My favorite would be action movies.Richard: And mine would be nice movies that touch me deeply.Interviewer: How do you like the old black and white movies of the forties, and fifties compared with the modern blockbusters? Robert: For their time, the movies of the forties and fifties were excellent. But try to compare them with today’s technology, and you’ll find there isn’t anything to compare. It’s so superior today.Richard: I agree.。
