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; these 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.(1)Before the release of Justice League, many people showed their ______.A. pity for the director, Zack SnyderB. concern about the film's qualityC. higher expectation of the new directorD. support for the actor, Ben Affleck(2)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.(3)In Paragraph 5 the author mainly wants to express his ______.A. views on the film's weaknessB. advice to the film's directorC. love for the filmD. expectation of the film's sequels(4)The author mentioned another film producer to ______.A. stress the importance of fun in a filmB. show Justice League's lack of a serious plotC. serve as a warning to the producer of Justice LeagueD. set an example for the producer of Justice League【答案】(1)B(2)D(3)A(4)C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文,介绍了作者对《正义联盟》这部电影的看法。

And the book has inspired many plays and movies. The first play was put on in 1844. The first two movies were silent films made in 1901 and 1908. Since then, the story has been remade more than 60 times for television and cinema. What makes such a tale so attractive? Audiences have always loved a good plot, a villain(反面人物) who harms other people or breaks the law, and the ending of right over wrong. The book offers all three.The book tells the story of a man named Ebenezer Scrooge. He is mean and cruel(残忍的) to his clerk and turns away his only living relative. One night, Scrooge is visited by three spirits. The first shows scenes from Scrooge's youth that led to this present state. The second takes him to the homes of his clerk and his nephew. Here Scrooge sees that people can be happy without lots of money. The spirit also shows him the desperate poor people of London. The third spirit shows Scrooge will die alone, and no one will care if he continues to live as he has. At last the message is understood, and Scrooge repents. He becomes generous and caring to all around him, especially to his clerk's sick son, Tiny Tim.Every year, thousands of people watch A Christmas Carol. Why? They may be touched by its lessons on the true meanings of wealth and happiness. They may enjoy the special effects and feelings or watching every year may be just a habit.

"I tried to pick it up and it was really heavy and I saw teeth on it." The bone weighed about 50 pounds. They eventually got the bone to their home and fitted it in their tub (浴盆), but it took their collective strength, might and a golf cart, to carry the large Mastodon bone."They didn't expect to find that," Michael's mom said. "Now that they have, I believe that they will be more aware of their surroundings and what they're digging up when they are digging and playing.""We've gotten a lot of petrified (石化的) wood and Civil War relics from the area and that's what I thought it was," the brothers' mother said. "This is our first set of teeth we've found. So we thought it was their imagination. We were quite surprised to see that it was not their imagination."They were exploring near the brothers' home.

A recent study shows that people aren't totally truthful about their television-watching habits.The study in question was conducted at Ball State University in the US. Researchers there wanted to find out how much television people view according to their age. The study was paid for by a council associated with the Nielsen Company, which determines television ratings. The conclusions were that people spend more than 8 hours a day looking at a screen. This included cell phones and computers,but the majority were television screens.There are three interesting things about this study. The first is that people are exposed to more than one hour of advertisements per day. The second is that even with access to DVDs and internet videos, television is still the most popular media source. The third is that the amount of screen-watching people do is relatively the same from the ages of 18-65.So, if everyone is watching television, why lie about it? Well, if someone admits they watch television for five or six hours, they could be considered a couch potato. Michael Phillips, one of the study's main researchers, says, “There's a social stigma for people who watch too much television. Sometimes, however, watching the latest reality show or the funniest sitcom gives co-workers and friends fun things to talk about.”Even if you do watch a lot of television, perhaps we can use this study as a reason to be honest with ourselves about how much time we spend in front of the television. I mean, after all, everyone else is doing it...(1)Why do people lie about how much TV they watch?A. Because the show they watched is not the latest.B. Because they may be laughed at by co-workers or friends.C. Because they don't want others to know what they watched.D. Because there's something negative attached to watching too much TV.(2)Which of the following is true according to the study?A. The most popular media source is the internet.B. 18-year-olds watch more TV than someone in their 60s.C. People are exposed to over than an hour of advertisement a day.D. Researchers say that people watch over 8 eight hours of television a week.(3)How could people feel to be considered as a couch potato?A. comfortableB. ashamedC. excitedD. satisfied(4)What idea does the author mainly want to express with the article?A. what the effects of watching TV are.B. how much television we should watch every day.C. there are some interesting facts of watching TV.D. people lie about how much television they watch.【答案】(1)D(2)C(3)B(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,作者分析了人们瞒报看电视的时间的原因。

2.阅读理解Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.King's Art CentreA day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.You could attend a class teaching you how to learn from the masters' or get more creative with paint—free of charge.The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.The Botanic GardenThe Garden has over 8,000 plant species;it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.The multibranched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above bluegreen leaves, and is not one to miss.Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.The Garden is also a place for wildlife enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid' is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.Byron's PoolMany stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of "mess and drunkenness". However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron's Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don't trust me, then perhaps you'll take it from Virginia Woolf—over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.(1)According to the passage, there is a small charge for ______.A. seeing an exhibitionB. learning life drawingC. working with local artistsD. attending the masters' class(2)"Torch Aloe" and "Venus Flytrap" are ______.A. common insectsB. rarely seen snakesC. impressive plantsD. wildlife-enthusiasts (3)In the passage Byron's Pool is described as a lake ______.A. owned by Lord ByronB. surrounded by fieldsC. located in GrantchesterD. discovered by Virginia Woolf(4)What is the passage mainly about?A. Unknown stories of Cambridge University.B. The colourful life in the countryside.C. A way to become creative in art.D. Some places for weekend break.【答案】(1)B(2)C(3)B(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文,介绍了几处周末度假的好去处。
