Section B
Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
There aren’t many actors around the world who have enough self
confidence to turn down an offer from Steven Spielberg.Maybe that
was why Juliette Binoche gave him a choice.She said she’d be happy
to be in Jurassic Park as long as she could play a dinosaur.Of course
he turned her down and it was probably a good thing.It’s difficult to
imagine Juliette ripping people apart with her teeth.However,her
decision doesn’t seem to have done her career any harm.She has
gone on to make a string of hits,including The Unbearable Lightness of Being ,The English Patient (for which she won an Oscar)and Chocolat.
Success in the United States has not been so easy for other
foreign stars.Gerald Depardieu is a good example.Since his first
film in 1967,his filmography (影片集锦)lists 172acting credits.
But he has struggled on the other side of the pond.While some of
his films have been popular in the US,they have usually been
French films that travelled.One possible exception was Green Card ,
directed by Peter Weir,where he plays a French immigrant who goes through a fake wedding in order to stay and work in the United States.This is a predictable but sweet romantic comedy which typecasts (分配同一类型角色)its lead actors in terms of national stereotypes.While some reviewers were kind,others shredded both the film and Depardieu’s performance.
While Monsieur Depardieu hasn’t received the recognition he would have liked in the United States,one Mexican actor has achieved almost instant success.Gael Garcia Bernal first gained recognition in Amores Perros in 2000and a year later in Y tu mama tambien .Since then he has appeared with hometown hero,Brad Pitt in Babel and,under the direction of top producer and director,Jim Jarmusch,he starred in Limits of Control .He
hasn’t picked
up an Oscar yet,but he

was nominated for a BAFTA(英国电影电视艺术学院奖)in2005for his performance as the South American hero revolutionary Che Guevara,in Motorcycle Diaries.In the same year he played American music icon Elvis Presley in The King.

A.have been made in Hollywood
B.have only been seen in Europe
C.have been made in France,but seen in other countries,too

58.The last sentence in Para2“o thers shredded both the film and Depardieu’s performance”
means others thought Depardieu’s performance and the film were______.
plex
B.interesting
C.terrible
D.impressive

Section B
Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them.There are four choices marked A,B,C and D.choose the one that fits best according to the Information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Despite an advertisement campaign suggesting wall-to-wall special effects,“Bridge of Terabithia”is grounded in reality far more than in fantasy.Adapting Katherine Paterson’s award-winning novel,the screenwriters David Paterson and Jeff Stockwell have produced a thoughtful and extremely affecting story of a transformative friendship between two unusually gifted children.The result is a movie whose emotional depth could appeal more to adults than to their children.
Jess Aarons(Josh Hutcherson)is a sixth grader with four sisters,financially tensed parents and a talent for drawing.An introverted(内向的)kid who is regularly picked on by the school buses,Jess forms a bond with a new student named Leslie(Anna Sophia Robb),a free spirit whose parents,both writers,are fondly neglectful.An attraction between outsiders,their friendship feeds on her words and his pictures;together they create an imaginary kingdom in the woods behind their homes,a world they can control and where their minds can wander free.
Beautifully capturing a time when a bully in school can occur as large as a monster in a nightmare and the encouragement of a teacher can alter the course of a life,“Bridge to Terabithia”keeps the fantasy in the background to find magic in the everyday.Gabor Csupo directs this,his first feature,like someone close to the pain of being different,fascinated in tiny,perfect details.
With strong performances from all the leads,“Bridge to Terabithia”is able to handle adult topics with sensitivity.As the emotional landscape darkens,those who haven’t read the book may be surprised at the sorrow the filmmakers cause without ever resorting to horror or terror.In other words,your children may cry,but they won’t be traumatized so badly.
Consistently smart and delicate as a spider web,“Bridge to Terabithia”is the kind of children’s movie rarely seen nowadays.At a time when many public schools are being forced to cut music and art from the curriculum,the story’s insistence on the healing power of a cultivated imagination is both welcome and essential.
56.The second paragraph indicates that Jess and Leslie________.
A.lost their control over the imaginary kingdom
B.looked down on their individual realities
C.formed a good friendship despite their different talents
D.wrote a book about a magical land called Terabithia
57.Which of the following words is most likely to replace“traumatized”(paragraph4)?
A.criticized
B.ignored
C.delighted
D.shocked
58.The two children most likely________.
A.skipped school to play in the woods behind their campus
B.created an imaginary world as an escape from reality
C.disappointed their parents with their over-active imaginations
D.won against the bullies at school with strong performances
59.Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with?
A.The fantasy components of the movie were too over-done.
B.The movie is motional but not much too dramatic.
C.“Bridge to Terabithia”has a negative impact on public school education.
D.Children shouldn’t watch the film as they are too young to understand the topics.

Section B
Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
One recent night,while I was leafing through its pages of an old journal,my eyes met a quote by the British writer Graham Greene that I had marked.“A prejudice had something in common with an ideal.”In other words,ideals---general descriptions of people’s expectations of themselves and others---can often lead us to unreasonable ideas.It got me thinking about how we often allow ourselves to generalize about groups of people.We like to stereotype people by the color of their skin,the year of their birth or any other related factors.
I grew up in a multi-racial corner of America.The different groups were often subject to narrow stereotypes:Jewish people were“greedy,”Mexicans were“poorly educated,”and Asians were“good at math.”These labels were taught to us from a young age.They wormed their way
into our belief systems,harming how we came to see others.It made me sad growing up to see people repeat these stereotypes as if they were true.The rush-to-judgment of people breeds a culture of discrimination(歧视).
You can also see these over-generalized description being made against today’s Chinese people.Whether it be a lack of interest or worry among millennials(千禧一代)being described as “monkish,”or“dad-fashion(复古作风)”which has given the“greasy middle-aged men”tag, stereotypes always seem to gain a foothold in the consciousness of our society.But these generalizations do real harm as these myths may become part of the wider population.
It’s about time that we,as a society,walked away from generalizations and stereotypes.I leave you with the words of Martin Luther King Jr.from his famous“I Have a Dream”speech:“I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin,but by the content of their character.”By reserving judgment and really getting to know the individual,you might just find your irrational ideas have no foundation.
56.According to the passage,how do people tend to judge others?
A.By describing people’s personalities.
B.By truly getting to know those around.
C.By observing their noticeable features.
D.By following Martin Luther King’s speech
57.According to the author,a culture of discrimination appears because__________.
A.people live in places of various races
B.people are born with unreasonable ideas
C.prejudices slightly influence people’s belief system
D.people usually make judgments without thinking twice
58.Examples of“millennials”and“dad-fashion”are mentioned in Paragraph3to reveal_______.
A.generalizations have unfavourable position in society
B.generalizations have a negative influence on our society
C.generalizations are found peculiar to the middle-aged Chinese
D.generalizations make today’s Chinese people lack interest or worry
59.The passage is mainly concerned with________.
A.the common prejudice
B.people’s expectation of themselves
C.the groundless worries
D.the famous speech of Martin Luther King

(A)
What to endure before publication?
It takes a lot to write a novel.Even those who haven’t tried would say,“Well,duh!”to this. But it’s not much the mind space or the considerable time it takes to write a novel that is as discouraging as how many times any writer must go back to the drawing board for yet another draft.To really ready a novel for publication,a writer must spend time with his or her book.Like any promising relationship,you,the writer,must date your novel,take it out to dinner,meet its parents,and see it through its most trying and desperate times.As a writer,you have to stay up all night with your novel crying and talking and sometimes even pulling your hair out before that perfect moment of inspiration can truly help you cross the finish line.
For many published authors I know,myself included,a completed novel takes them about10, that’s right,10drafts,and at least a year of real editing.Will you be spending every single second editing your novel?No,of course not.Just as drafts need some real time on the surgery table,they also need rest in the recovery room.You don’t nurse a relationship by spending every waking second them until you can’t stand the sight of each other,and you can’t produce a novel by breathing down its literary neck.However,a novel should undergo many drafts---and different kinds of drafts—before declaring it ready for an agent or editor to see.
Everyone has their own way to write a novel,and not all craft advice(or even craft“rules”) should all be followed by everyone,but when it comes to the many drafts of a novel,there are specific things a writer should focus on during each revision to help create a smooth transition from the initial idea to final products.
56.People are discouraged from writing a novel mainly because it requires_____.
A.a good publisher
B.too much thinking
C.tons of working time
D.frequent revisions
57.What do writers do in the course of creating a novel?
A.They spend every minute with the novel.
B.They treat the novel as a lover.
C.They go out with some readers for dinner.
D.They hurt themselves to stay awake.
58.By“breathing down its literary neck”in Paragraph2,the author most probably means _____.
A.writing casually thus failing to take readers’breath away
B.letting go a single mistake thus annoying the readers
C.X-raying the work thus finding each literary mistake
D.sticking too close to the work thus causing anxiety
59.Which of the following is most likely to come after the last paragraph?
A.The importance of using proper transitional words in writing.
B.The writing experience shared by famous successful write.
C.Tips on how to make ten drafts to complete a good novel.

(A)
The lives of the Ancient Greeks revolved(运转)around Eris,a concept by which they defined the universe.They believed that the world existed in a condition of opposites.If there was good, then there was evil；if there was love,then there was hatred;joy,then sorrow;war,then peace;and so on.The Greeks believed that good Eris occurred when one held a balanced outlook on life and
coped with problems as they arose.It was a kind of ease of living that came from trying to bring together the great opposing forces in nature.Bad Eris was evident in the violent conditions that ruled men’s lives.Although these things were found in nature and sometimes could not be controlled,it was believed that bad Eris occurred when one ignored a problem,letting it grow larger until it destroyed not only that person,but his family as well.The Ancient Greeks saw Eris as a goddess:Eris,the Goddess of Discord,better known as Trouble.
One myth that expresses this concept of bad Eris deals with the marriage of King Peleus and the river goddess Thetis.Zeus,the supreme ruler,learns that Thetis would bear a child strong enough to destroy its father.Not wanting to father his own ruin,Zeus convinces Thetis to marry a human,a mortal(凡人)whose child could never challenge the gods.He promises her,among other things,the greatest wedding in all of Heaven and Earth and allows the couple to invite whomever they please.This is one of the first mixed marriages of Greek Mythology and the lesson learned from it still applies today.They do invite everyone...except Eris,the Goddess of Discord.In other words,instead of facing the problems brought on by a mixed marriage,they turn their backs on them.They refused to deal directly with their problems and the result is tragic.In her fury(狂怒),Eris arrives,ruins the wedding,causes a jealous argument between the three major goddesses over a golden apple,and sets in place the conditions that lead to the Trojan War.The war would take place20years in the future,but it would result in the death of the only child of the bride and groom,Achilles.Eris would destroy the parents’hopes for their future,leaving the couple with no legal heirs(继承人)to the throne.
Hence,when we are told,“If you don’t invite trouble,trouble comes,”it means that if we don’t deal with our problems,our problems will deal with us...with a revenge!It is easy to see why the Greeks considered many of their myths learning myths,for this one teaches us the best way to defeat that which can destroy us.
56.Bad Eris is defined in the passage as_______.
A.the violent conditions of life.
B.the problems man encounters.
C.the evil goddess who has a golden apple.
D.the murderer of generations.
57.Zeus married Thetis off because_______.
A.he needed to buy the loyalty of a great king of mankind.
B.he feared the gods would create bad Eris by competing over her.
C.he feared the Trojan War would be fought over her.
D.he feared being a father of a boy who would kill him in the future.
58.Zeus did not fear a child of King Peleus because_______.
A.he knew that the child could not climb Mt.Olympus and manage to kill a god.
B.he knew that the child would be killed in the Trojan War which would happen in20years.
C.he knew that no matter how strong a mortal child was,he couldn’t overthrow an immortal god.
D.he knew that Thetis would always love him above everyone else.
59.What does the myth in the passage want to tell us?
A.Do not consider a mixed marriage.
B.Do not anger the gods.
C.Do not ignore the problems that arise in life.
D.Do not take myths seriously.

Once again DC Comics and Warner Bros.have divided fans and critics over their latest superhero film.
There had been worrying news about Justice League in the months before its release,with a lot of reshoots of scenes,a new director being brought in to finish the film after original director Zack Snyder’s tragic loss of his daughter and,of course,a lot of talk about Ben Affleck’s future in the role of Batman.
Some people are saying that Justice League is another big disappointment,that it could have been incredible and instead fails to really entertain.Others say that Warner Bros,have finally got
it right and that the future for the League looks bright.My opinion lies somewhere in the middle. The film was by no means a disappointment:it was exciting,funny and a lot of fun to watch. There’s something special about watching the heroes from your childhood brought to life on the big screen and maybe that is affecting my opinion.
However,I will say that a lot of work needs to be done if the producer wants to make a great success.Although the film was good,it was obvious which scenes had been reshot and how the characters had been changed.I also have to mention the several scenes in which the special effects were very badly done;there are the kinds of problems that you don’t expect to see in a film with such a big budget.
Another point to add is that it is good to see the producer making Superman slightly a brighter character and adding some jokes to the plot to keep things fun.But the producer must be careful not to make the mistake that another film producer---here,not mentioning the name---is coming very close to doing:turning all of the films into bright and colorful shows and losing a lot of seriously good stories.
In the end,Justice League is not a perfect film but it is definitely not a terrible one.A lot of work is still to be done but I hope that DC does not completely lose its darker side.
56.Before the release of Justice League,many people showed their________.
A.pity for the director,Zack Snyder
B.concern about the film’s quality
C.higher expectation of the new director
D.support for the actor,Ben Affleck
57.According to the author,what’s special about Justice League?
A.It advocates social justice.
B.It brings lots of fun to the audience.
C.It has some brave heroes.
D.It brings back childhood memories.
58.In Paragraph5the author mainly wants to express his_________.
A.views on the film’s weakness
B.advice to the film’s director
C.love for the film
D.expectation of the film’s sequels
59.The author mentioned another film producer to________.
A.stress the importance of fun in a film
B.show Justice League’s lack of a serious plot
C.serve as a warning to the producer of Justice League
D.set an example for the producer of Justice League

I’m a student in my fourth year of a biomedical science degree at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen,but I also work38hours a week at Sainsbury’s to make ends meet.I do three night shifts a week,plus overtime if I can get it.Monday is the most occupied day for me--I work from 10pm until8am on Saturday and Sunday nights,earning just over£100a night,and then I have to be at my first lecture at9am on Monday.By the time I finish lectures,at2pm,I’m exhausted, but I know I have to be back at work by10pm.
I constantly have to force myself to stay awake,and to be alert,whatever it takes.A packet of Skittles and a Red Bull usually helps.The work I do at Sainsbury’s is very physical like stacking shelves.I’m lucky because I’m an active person and the amount I lift at work is nothing compared with the weights I lift in the gym.I know I have the strength to bear it.
I’m originally from Nigeria.I came here when I was seven,growing up in Croydon,south London.Money was tight.My parents gave me everything I needed,but there was no money to spend on luxuries.I worked hard at school though and,with the help of GT Scholars,I got some of the best A-level grades in my class.
Unfortunately,though I had applied for“settled”British residential status when very young, the Home Office waited until I was in sixth form to approve my application.That meant I wasn’t eligible for a student loan.The only way I could afford to go to university was that if I got a job that would pay for all my living costs and my parents,who work in market research,paid for my tuition fees.In Scotland,that’s about£7,000a year.
I don’t have much time to socialize because of my job.Ideally,I would also like to have more time to study so I can excel at my course.Yes,I have a lot on my plate,but working hard
isn’t new to me.Growing up,my parents and my mentors in the church and at GT Scholars cultivated in me the importance of working hard for what I want in life.
My dream is to do an MA in physiotherapy next year and then get a job working for the NHS. But right now,I’m just focused on trying to get the best grades I can.Whenever I find life hard,I tell myself this is about my future.I don’t need much,but I would like to worry less about money and have more free time.That is what I look forward to the most.
56.Why does the author work long hours and sometimes overtime every week?
A.To help his parents pay off the debts.

I boarded a small plane together with my sister and42other passengers.While flying over the mountains,the plane encountered violent airflow.Losing control suddenly,it hit an unknown mountain peak.The impact of the crash claimed the lives of a few passengers immediately,
leaving many injured including my sister.
Adding a slight chance of being found out,we waited in the open,as opposed to waiting in the plane,even though it was freezing cold.At night,we slept side by side to keep ourselves warm and melted snow into water.We knew our food couldn’t last us long,sticking to the hope that we would be rescued soon.
We knew from radio that the outside world was trying to look for the missing aircraft. However,the aircraft was white and blended in with the snow,making it impossible to be seen from the ter,our hope was dead when we found out via our radio that the rescue effort ended.
Now climbing over the mountains ourselves to search for help seemed to be our only chance of survival.Although the crash site was an awful place,with urine（尿）everywhere and smelling of death,I still wished to stay there.But my sister would give in to her injuries soon if we were not rescued.Thus,together with two other people,Canessa and Vizintin,I decided to walk through the icy wilderness for help.Carrying some food and water,the three climbers started our journey. If we had known anything about climbing,we would have realized that we were already finished. The mountain we were about to challenge was one with slopes so steep that it would scare away a team of expert climbers.Our ignorance provided our only chance.
We endured exhaustion and starvation and we had reached the top.
To our horror,we found nothing.Disappointed,we were about to give up hope when I spotted a valley at the base of the mountain and again we started making our way down the mountain.
Eventually,at the bottom of the mountain we were helped by a local farmer who called the police for help.I then guided the rescue team via a helicopter to the crash site.Finally,after we had endured nineteen cruel days,the world found out that there were16survivors who had cheated death despite the odds.
56.Why did they stay outside the plane?
A.Because they didn’t want to stay with dead people inside.
B.Because it’s easier to obtain melted snow for water.
C.Because they hoped to be seen by the rescue people.
D.Because other passengers were against staying inside.
57.Why did the author leave the crash site despite his wish to stay?
A.Because he could get help from two experienced climbers.
B.Because his sister might die without timely medical help.
C.Because the crash site was too terrible for him to stay in.
D.Because he would like to be tested by the steep mountain slopes.

Flu is killing us.The usual response to the annual flu is not enough to fight against the risks we currently face,let alone prepare us for an even deadlier widespread flu that most experts agree will come in the future.Yes,we have an annual vaccine(疫苗),and everyone qualified should get it without question.The reality,however,is that less than half Americans get the flu vaccines.And
the flu vaccines we have are only60%effective in the best years and10%effective in the worst years.We urgently need a much more effective flu vaccine.
In the U.S.alone,seasonal flu can cause up to36million infections,three-quarters of a million hospitalizations and56,000deaths.We are not investing the resources needed to protect ourselves,our loved ones and our communities.
Why not?We haven’t been hit by a truly destructive widespread disease in a long time.So as individuals,we let down our guard as our leaders quietly defund and destaff the services we need to protect us.
The risk of continued foot dragging is huge.In a severe widespread disease,the U.S.health care system could be defeated in just lions of people would be infected by the virus, and would die in the weeks and months following the initial outbreak.
The cost of preventing epidemics(流行病)is roughly a tenth of what it costs to cope with them when they hit.In2012,a call was issued for an annual billion-dollar mitment to the development of a universal flu vaccine.Six years later,the search for a universal vaccine remains seriously underfunded.
The simple reason lies in our collective satisfaction.As soon as headlines about the flu are gone,hospitals are emptied of flu patients,and school and workplace absence rates decline,we go back to business as usual.
Leading scientists and public health officials have the capability to keep us much safer from flu.They need your quick and decisive support to succeed.Your action today may be a matter of life and death for you and your loved ones.
56.The problem of the current flu vaccines is that_____.
A.they are not available every year
B.most Americans are not allowed to get them
C.not everyone is qualified for them
D.many people still catch flu after getting them
57.What does the author mean by“continued foot dragging”in Paragraph4?
A.Hospitals cannot meet the needs of patients during flu outbreaks.
B.The leaders continue to drag the feet of the patients infected with flu.
C.Individuals aren’t alert enough to the underinvestment in flu prevention.
D.Flu will certainly become a severe widespread disease in the near future.
58.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Science is currently not so developed as to keep us safer from flu.。
