AThe most famous war movies reflect the American public’s continuous fascination with World War II and the Vietnam War. Many movies of this kind have been well–received when they were first shown, but few of them have enjoyed lasting fame and popularity. The films on the list of the five most famous war movies still remain fresh and are popular among many people.The Longest DayAn all-star cast recreates D-Day and the Normandy attack, the greatest landing and aerial(空中的) invasion in history. This is probably the most famous war movie because of the large number of big stars who have roles in the film.Apocalypse NowThis is a famous war movie because of its description of the Vietnam War and excellent performance from Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen and Robert Duvall. The film, full of memorable scenes and quotes, is widely viewed as a masterpiece of movie making.The Dirty DozenLee Marvin, playing an officer who thinks and acts independently, is appointed to train twelve prisoners, most of whom have been sentenced to death, to go on a suicide mission to kill several Nazi generals. If any of the men makes it back, they may get a pardon. This is one of the most popular war movies ever made.PlatoonThis famous war movie is the fictional account of a platoon(排) in Vietnam that is divided into two competing groups. The plot is partly based on the director Oliver Stone’s real life experience.MidwayThis is probably the most famous war movie e ver made about navy. It’s based on the battle between Japanese and American aircraft carrier groups near Hawaii in World War II that resulted in a decisive American victory.21. What are the most important themes of the movies mentioned above?A. World War II and the Vietnam War.B. Competitions in the Vietnam War.C. Fights between Nazi generals and soldiers.D. D-Day landing and the Normandy attack.22. The text is meant to _____.A. describe five most famous movie postersB. choose the best war movie among the fiveC. introduce five masterpieces of American filmsD. celebrate the success of the five American films23. What can we infer from the underlined sentence?A. The prisoners will be punished if they fail.B. The prisoners might be willing to have a try.C. The prisoners might be scared and run away.D. The prisoners have to take Nazi generals back.BBig cats have existed on the earth for millions of years, though scientists aren’t sure exactly how long. But a new study indicates that a skull(颅骨) of a snow leopard(豹) relative that was recently unearthed is4.4 million years old. That makes it the oldest big cat fossil(化石) ever found.A team of US and Chinese scientists unearthed the skull in Tibet. This creature is not a direct ancestor to big cats, but it is closely related to the snow leopard, study leader Jack Tseng told the Associated Press. The fossil lends evidence to the belief that big cats existed in Asia and spread out from there.Big cats are at the top of the food chain and have few predators of their own. Big cats include snow leopards, clouded leopards, tigers and lions. Based on genetic judgements, most scientists believe they first existed in Central Asia. But previously, the oldest known big cat fossil was 3.6 million years old and found in Africa.The new fossil findings were published in the November 13 issue of the science journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. Tseng and his team were fossil hunting in the Himalayas in 2010when they discovered some bones, including the buried cat skull. The researchers were able to determine its age by studying the surrounding rocks and soil. The skull indicates that the animal was about the size of a clouded leopard, which can grow up to 50 pounds. In 2012, the team returned to unearth more cat bones.David Polly from Indiana University told the Associated Press that the fossil is “convincingly older than the current record holder”. He added that there could be even older big cat fossils in the Tibetan plateau to uncover.24. What does the newly unearthed skull prove?A. Big cats might have their origins in Asia.B. The oldest fossil is 4.4 million years old.C. The snow leopard is the oldest big cat.D. The skull is of big cats’ direct ancestor.25. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?A. relatives.B.enemies.C. partners.D. protectors26. How do t he researchers know the skull’s age?A. By measuring its size and forehead.B. By examining other bones around it.C. By studying its chemical composition.D. By exploring the rocks and soil around it.27. Where was “the current record holder” in the last paragraph found?A. Asia.B. Africa.C. America.D. Australia.CBritish planning experts are heading to China to advise on building cities that do not damage the environment. They will address mayors on the need to avoid U.S. Model by building dense(稠密的) cities with low-carbon buildings and good public transport. Their visit follows a report warning that the road-based U.S. Model could make climate change impossible to control.Europe’s densely-populated cities, with strong public transport links, are held up as an example for China to follow. By good planning and spending a little more, livable new cities could be built with low-carbon infrastructure(基础设施). In China many institutions are taking the climate more seriously than before and the traveling group from Britain’s Town and Country Planning Association will meet officials from the Chinese government’s economic research agency in a workshop on low-carbon buildings.They will also meet officers in fast-growing Shenyang, which has more than six million inhabitants(居民). On another day they will present their ideas at the National Academy. Several of China’s major cities suffer heavy traffic jams. Some of their leaders are now looking for new ideas to make cities more densely-populated, while the mayors of some fast-growing cities are hoping to build in a less energy-consuming way.China also suffers a crisis of agricultural land, so high-density planning has many benefits. Kate Henderson said “As more and more people across the world move from rural to urban areas we must guarantee our cities grow stably.” This means delivering schools, parks and public transport alongside emp loyment areas and housing. “We look forward to sharing our thinking on how Garden City principles can be applied—both to creating new cities and to renewing existing ones.”28. Why does the writer mention U.S. Model in the passage?A. To show the advantag es of Europe’s Model.B. To enrich our knowledge about City Model.C. To tell us its disadvantages and give us a warning.D. To convey American experts’ views on city planning.29. What is unique for Europe’s densely-populated cities?A. The road-based Model is good for the environment.B. It can speed up the growth of the newly-built cities.C. Its inhabitants enjoy the convenience of the wide roads.D. Its designs focus on low-carbon buildings and public transport.30. What does t he underlined word “they” in Para3 refer to?A. British planning experts.B. M ayors from China’s major cities.C. Officers from Shenyang.D. Leaders from Chinese institutions.31. What is the best way to make Chinese cities grow stably?A. By saving more agricultural lands.B. By building apartments near working areas.C. By persuading people to move to rural parts.D. By building environment-friendly dense cities.DRun, swim, lift weights, do yoga—do something, because it’s good for you. Many studies te ll us that regular exercise not only helps our bodies but improves memory, and eases anxiety. But what is happening to the mind during workout to create all these benefits?A new study from Sweden suggests that a specific protein found in trained muscles might contribute toexercise's mental benefits. This protein, the researchers found, might help our bodies process molecules that, if out of balance, can stress us and contribute to depression(萎靡不振). The findings were published in the journal Cell.To test this, the researchers kept attacking some mice with flashing lights, loud noises and interrupting their sleep for weeks. Predictably, this treatment makes the mice show signs and biochemical markers of depression.But not all the mice showed those signs. One group, specially raised to have high levels of a protein called PGC-1alpha1 (the one in trained muscles), did not show those depression signs. PGC-1alpha1 increases production of an enzyme that breaks down a chemical called kynurenine. Kynurenine helps the body respond to an activated immune system(活性免疫系统), but it also plays a role in depression.“Our original research assumption was that trained muscle would produce a substance(物质) with beneficial effects on the brain,” Jorge Ruas of the Karolinska Ins titute told . “We actually found the opposite: well-trained muscle produces an enzyme that removes harmful substances away from the body.”This study was in mice, but it lines up nicely with all the other lines of evidence that exercise is good for mental health.32. According to the study, which of the following is bad for your mental health?A. Protein.B. Molecule.C. Enzyme.D. Kynurenine33. What conclusion have the researchers drawn from the study?A. Unbalanced exercise leads you to depression.B. Well-fed mice survive better though being ill-treated.C. Trained muscle produces a substance good for brain.D. Regular exercise helps to clear rubbish away from body.34. According to the last paragraph, the result of the study is _____.A. reliableB. doubtfulC. predictableD. ambiguous35. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Why do you need regular exercise?B. What matters most for your body?C. How does exercise help your brain?D. Why are mice chosen for the study?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
