That’s what Oliver serves his customers in the new movie Oliver’s Organic Ice Cream.The one-minute film was created by kids. A film is a movie. The young students learned their moviemaking skills at the Jacob Burns Film Center. The center is in Pleasantville, New York. Kids who go there learn how to make movies and music videos.The character Oliver and his treats are animated. In an animated movie, objects, such as ice cream and paper dolls, appear to be alive or moving.Animated movies are made up of hundreds of pictures. It takes 15 pictures to make just one second of film. To make a movie that lasts one minute, students need to take about 900 frames. A frame is a picture.Animation expert Joe Summerhays teaches kids the steps to shoot a movie. He says what they learn behind the scenes, however, also counts. Students create their films in small groups. They have to agree on every decision.― The benefit of the class is less animation and more problem-solving,‖ Summerhays said. ―It’s all about teamwork.‖About 4,000 kids have made movies at the Jacob Burns Film Center. Mikey Price, 11, of Briarcliff Manor, New York, is one of them. ―I’m actually making a real movie,‖ he said. ―It’s an adventure.‖56.

I was being physically and verbally abused on a daily basis. I was financially tied to him after he spent all my savings to pay his debts but I wanted to be free!For the longest time I was too embarrassed to tell my mother about the situation. She had warned me about him. But, eventually, I worked up the courage to tell her and she sent me the money I needed to leave. Before the money arrived, he found out what I planned to do. I was scared of what he might do that I decided to leave without taking all my belongings and just getout there.Then, on my way to safety, my car died! I had automobile insurance (thanks to my mom) so I called the AAA and had them pull the car to a garage. It turned out the repair was going to cost $800 and the money my mom sent hadn’t arriv ed by that point.The owner of the garage must have known something was up because he asked what was wrong. I told him a brief version of my story and promised him I could pay him in two days. He never told me his name but I will never forget him or what he did for me that day! He fixed the car immediately and told me he would not accept any payment – ever! He said he had a daughter almost my age and hoped that if she ever needed help in the future then some stranger might do the same for her.Since then I have tried to help people in my own way. Now I have a beautiful twelve-year-old daughter and I hope throughout her life she can help others and be helped when she needs it, like I was!63. The author wanted to break up with her fiancé because ________.A. he was too poor to support the familyB. she was badly treated by him every dayC. he owed a lot of money to other peopleD. her mother had warned her about him64.

Confident.B. Modest.C. Helpful.D. Clever.DThe surprising experiment I am about to describe proves that air is all around you and that it proves down upon you. Air pressure is a wonderful force. When you swim underwater, you can feel water push down your body. The air all around you does the same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere. This layer surrounds the Earth, extending to about five kilometers above the Earth’s surface.The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home. But make sure that you are supervised, because you will need to use matches. Now for the experiment！What you need•A hard-boiled egg without the shell•A bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the egg•A piece of paper•A matchMethod1）Check that the paper will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.2）Tear the paper into strips and put the strips into the bottle.3）Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle.4）Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.ResultAstonishingly, the egg will be sucked into the bottle. Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment. But be careful when you handle matches.Why it happenedAs the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen （air）in the bottle. The egg acts as a seal (封条) in the neck of the bottle, so no more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle. The air pressure must equalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. The outside air pressure against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! The proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on it.67. Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment?A. The bottle could break.B. You need to light the paper with a match.C. The egg needs to be shelled.D. The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.68. In the experiment, the burning inside the bottle can___.A. equalize the air pressure inside and outsideB. make a seal in the neck of the bottleC. finish up the oxygen inside the bottleD. produce more oxygen inside the bottle69. How did the egg put into the bottle？A. The oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in.B. It became salt without the shell.C. The neck of the bottle was wide enough.D. The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle.70. The experiment is carried cut to prove ______.A. water pushes on your body when you swim underwater.B. the earth is surrounded by a layer of air called the atmosphere.C. the pressure of air around us has a powerful force.D. the air pressure is not equalized around us.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。
