I'm Jessica, a big fan of James Bond. I've got most of the Bond films
on DVD. We've recently bought Quantum of Solace, in which Daniel
Craig plays the role of Bond. I don't know why the film has got that
name—but it's a great movie, anyway.
All the actors who've played James Bond have been great, but Daniel
Craig, who's made lots of other films, plays the role better than any of
them. Though he doesn't talk much, I think he's the most perfect actor for
the role. He even does a few of the more dangerous things in the film himself, instead of getting someone else to do them. I sometimes wondered whether he would be clever to defeat（击败）the bad people—but I'm not going to tell you the ending
The actress who stars with Craig gives a fantastic performance too—I loved all the fashionable clothes she wore!
The director probably had a hard job making this Bond film as full of action as earlier ones But the excitement starts just at the beginning, with a car running after another quickly along a mountain road, and plenty of other exciting scenes, too—Bond jumping off tall buildings and so on However, I found the story difficult to understand, and it also seemed to be over very quickly—it lasted less than two hours. I also felt there weren't as many jokes as in the old Bond films. And where was all the funny Bond equipment（装备）—the underwater car or exploding watch that everyone laughed at? This is amore serious, darker Bond film, but I still really enjoy it
34. What can a reader find out from Jessica's article?
A. What other films Daniel Craig has made.
B. Which other actors have played James Bond.
C. Why she thinks Daniel Craig is the best James Bond.
D. Whether Quantum of Solace is her favourite Bond film.
35. How does Daniel Craig play James Bond in the new Bond film?
A. He has a lot to say to the actress.
B. He himself performs some dangerous action scenes.
C. He wears some fashionable clothes.
D. He looks strong enough to fight the bad people.
36. What is Jessica trying to do in her article?
A. To tell readers about the Bond DVDs she owns.
B. To explain what first attracted her to Bond films.
C. To give a balanced review of a Bond film she has seen.
D. To describe how Daniel Craig got the role of James Bond.
C

C. 阅读与回答问题。

（共5题, 每题2分, 计10分）
snail caterpillar earthworm
went up to his mother and asked, "Why was I born with a shell that grew so hard and heavy?" His mother said, "Because we don't have bones to hold us up. We can only move slowly, so we need a shell to protect us. "
The baby snail asked again, ""The caterpillar has no bones, either, and she can't move quickly. Why can she live without a shell?" The mother snail answered, "That's because a caterpillar will
become a butterfly. She can fly high into the sky. Then the sky can protect her. "
The baby snail had one more question, "But the earthworm moves like us. He has no bones and he won't turn into butterfly. Why doesn't he carry a hard and heavy shell?" His mother said, "He can dig a hole and hide in the ground, and then the earth can protect him. "
The baby snail then cried, "We are so poor! We have no protection from the sky or from the ground!?" His mother smiled at him, "That's why we have a shell. My dear, imagine that if we don't have the shells, what will happen to us? Hot sun will dry out our bodies and we'll have nowhere to sleep. What's worse, we'll die in the heavy rain. How terrible it is! We don't depend on the sky or the ground for protection. We should depend on ourselves. "
