Shows that are all about movies
“Filmspotting〞
“Film spotting〞 has been producing weekly programs of insightful film analysis since 2005. Episodes typically begin with an in-depth discussion of one major new theatrical release. A reliable highlights is a Massacre Theater, in which the hosts gamely re-enact(重演) a scene and invite listeners to guess which movie it is from.
“How did these get made?〞
The actors Paul Scheer , June Diane Raphael and Jason Mantzoukas host this discussion that doesn’t aim to pile hate on bad films so much as make detailed fun of them but try to figure out how they came to be. The hosts are so attractive that th e commentary doesn’t come off as negative; even when they discuss true duds, their real love of movies shines through.
“The Rewatchables “
“The Rewatchables “ taps into the universal joy of revisiting a favorite movie-and the less universal joy of doing it with a bunch of deeply knowledgeable friends. Each episode finds Bill Simmons, host of the show, and a cast of guests examining a movie that may not be an obvious classic, but is a culturally significant film that you have likely seen at least once.
“Scri petnotes〞
Billed as a show about “ screenwriting and things that are interesting to screen writers〞, “Scripetnotes〞 offers specific advice on screenwriting. The show’s regular Three Page Challenge, in which the two hosts, Craig Mazin and John August, comment on the sample of an audience- submitted screenplay, is invaluable whether you are an ambitious screenwriter or a curious film fan.
1.What is the most interesting part of the “FilmSpotting〞?
A.Re-enacting a new theoretical release
B.Involving people in guessing movies
C.Reviewing culturally significant films
D.Acting with the audience-submitted screenplay
2.What does the show hosted by Bill Simmons focus on.
A.Revisiting popular films
B.Making remarks on bad films
C.Recommending worth-watching classics
D.Exploring the way the film business works.m

Rain beat against the window, matching my mood. I should have known that my new job at the hospital was too good to be true. Throughout the day, rumors (传言) warned that the newest employee from each department would be laid off.
I was the newest one in the training department.
My boss appeared. “You probably know we’re cutting back,〞 he said. “Administration wants us to offer outplacement classes to help those employees find other jobs, showing them how to act in an interview, for example.〞“Fine,〞I answered unwillingly, not knowing what else to say.
I decided to go home early that day. In the hall, I met the lady who brought us cookies every Friday. She was a little woman with gray hair. Only her head and the top of her green apron were visible over the cart (小车) loaded with cleaning supplies. At least she had a job!
At the final meeting, laid-off workers formed a line at the door. A colleague whispered, “I can’t believe our Cookie Lady is being laid off. We’ll miss her as much as we’ll miss her cookies.〞 When the colleague spoke to her in Spanish, I knew my classes would be useless for her and I realized how much better off was than this poor woman.
I decided to do something for her. I wrote to a newspaper expressing how I felt about the unselfishness of the Cookie Lady who needed a job. A few days later, my article appeared in the newspaper and the Cookie Lady was allowed to stay in her position. On the same day, I received a letter, which seemed so unlikely that I read it twice. “An editor of a local magazine likes your piece and wants you to call her next time you’re looking for work …〞

这是一篇记叙文。

文章主要讲了一个雨天，作者心情忐忑，害怕自己被裁员。

后来，作者得知一位善良的“饼干女士〞被裁掉时，作者给报社写了一篇文章，让人们了解了“饼干女士〞的故事。

最终，不仅“饼干女士〞的工作保住了，作者自己也得到了杂志社编辑的赏识。

4.推理判断题。

根据第一段“Rain beat against the window, matching my mood. I should have known that my new job at the hospital was too good to be true. Throughout the day, rumors (传言) warned that the newest employee from each department would be laid off. I was the newest one in the training department.〞〔雨打在窗户上，与我的心情相匹配。

我应该知道我在医院的新工作太好了，以至于感觉有些不真实。

一整天，有传言说每个部门的最新的员工都会被解雇。

我是培训部最新的一个〕可推知那个雨天，作者害怕被解雇，所以感觉很紧张不安。

应当选A。

根据第二段“Administration wants us to offer outplacement classes to help those employees find other jobs, showing them how to act in an interview, for example.〞〔政府希望我们提供再就业课程，帮助这些员工找到其他工作，比如教他们在面试中如何表现〕可知作者被要求帮助下岗工人。

几天后，我的文章出现在报纸上，饼干女士被允许待在她的位置上〕可知作者通过让别人知道了饼干女士的故事，来帮助她。

应当选C。

7.推理判断题。

根据最后一段“A few days later, my article appeared in the newspaper and the Cookie Lady was allowed to stay in her position. On the same day, I received a letter, which seemed so unlikely that I read it twice. “An editor of a local magazine likes your piece and wants you to call her next time you’re looking for work …〞〔几天后，我的文章出现在报纸上，饼干女士被允许待在她的位置上。

就在同一天，我收到了一封信，这封信似乎不太可能，我看了两遍。

“一家当地杂志的编辑喜欢你的文章，希望你下次找工作的时候给她打个……〞〕可知作者在帮助饼干女士保住工作的同时，自己也收到了杂志社编辑递出的橄榄枝。

这是一篇说明文。

文中说明了如果你有跑步的计划，那么你必须买的第一件东西就是一双好的跑鞋，作者建议自己去鞋店亲自试穿挑选跑鞋。

文章还主要就如何挑选一双好的跑步鞋提出了一些建议。

8.推理判断题。

根据第一段“If you have plans to run, then the first thing that you have to purchase is a good pair of running shoes. Put simply, how can you possibly run without running shoes, right? There are many ways about how to choose the right running shoes but these ways differ from one person to another. That is why first-hand experience is greatly recommended. By this we mean that you have to go to the store yourself to check and try on a pair of running shoes
that you are looking at to see whether or not they are good for your feet and comfortable.〞可知如果你有跑步的计划，那么你必须买的第一件东西就是一双好的跑鞋。

简单地说，你怎么可能不穿跑鞋跑步，对吗？关于如何选择适宜的跑鞋有很多方法，但这些方法因人而异。

所以大大推荐亲身体验。

我们的意思是，你必须亲自去商店检查并试穿你正在看的一双跑鞋，看看它们是否对你的脚好和舒适。

由此可知，在文章的开头，作者强调了选择适宜的跑鞋的必要性。

应当选C。

9.词句猜测题。

根据划线词后文“By this we mean that you have to go to the store yourself to check and try on a pair of running shoes that you are looking at to see whether or not they are good for your feet and comfortable.( 我们的意思是你要去商店自己检查和尝试一双你正在看的跑鞋，看看他们是否对你的脚好和舒适)〞可知划线词所在句意思为：所以大大推荐亲身体验。

即划线词意思与D选项“通过自己做某事获得的经验〞最接近。

应当选D。

10.细节理解题。

根据第三段“In the end, whatever you choose to buy should not require you to spend too much. That is to say, you have to make sure that what you buy is just right for your budget and the kind of activity you plan to take part in. This is to ensure as well that whatever you buy can be used for a long time.〞可知最后，无论你选择购置什么，都不应该让你花费太多。

也就是说，你必须确保你所买的东西刚好适合你的预算和你计划参加的活动种类。

这也是为了确保你所买的东西可以长期使用。

由此可知，作者在第三段建议我们考虑跑鞋的价格。

应当选B。

11.主旨大意题。

根据第一段中“If you have plans to run, then the first thing that you have to purchase is a good pair of running shoes. Put simply, how can you possibly run without running shoes, right? There are many ways about how to choose the right running shoes but these ways differ from one person to another.〞可知如果你有跑步的计划，那么你必须买的第一件东西就是一双好的跑鞋。

简单地说，你怎么可能不穿跑鞋跑步，对吗?关于如何选择适宜的跑鞋有很多方法，但这些方法因人而异。

结合文中说明了如果你有跑步的计划，那么你必须买的第一件东西就是一双好的跑鞋，作者建议自己去鞋店亲自试穿挑选跑鞋。

文章还主要就如何挑选一双好的跑步
鞋提出了一些建议。

由此可知，A选项“如何选择适宜的跑鞋〞最符合文章标题。

应当选A。

Is smile just a facial expression? Of course not! It is not only used to express pleasure, affection, and friendliness, but also the commonest way to show our good will perfectly without saying anything. A Chinese saying runs: "Never hit a person who is smiling at you." It is a time-proven fact that smile is a language all its own — a universal language — understood by the people of every nation in the world. We may not speak the same tongue as our foreign neighbors, but we smile in the same tongue. We need no interpreter for thus expressing love, happiness, or good will.
One day while shopping in a small town in southern California, it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality conflicted with mine. He seemed quite unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase.
I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store. On the outside stood
a young man in his early twenties. His expressive brown eyes met and held mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, brilliant smile covered his face. The magic power of that smile made all bitterness within me melt, and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding. "Beautiful day, isn't it?" I remarked, in passing. Then, obeying an impulse (冲动), I turned back. "I really owe you a debt of gratitude," I said softly. His smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer. A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby. The woman stepped forward and eyed me inquiringly. "Carlos, he no speak English," she volunteered. "You want I should tell him something?" At that moment I felt changed. Carlos' smile had made a big person of me. My friendliness and good will toward all mankind stood ten feet tall. "Yes," my reply was enthusiastic and sincere, "Tell him I said, 'Thank you!'" "Thank you?" The woman seemed slightly confused.
I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave. "Just tell him that."
I insisted. "He'll understand. I am sure!"
Oh, what a smile can do! Although I have never seen that young man again, I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning. From that day on, I became smile-conscious, and I practice the art diligently, anywhere and everywhere, with everybody.
12.Why did the writer march angrily out of the store?
A.He bought nothing.
B.He was unlucky to meet with an unfriendly clerk.
C.He was unfriendly.
D.He conflicted with the clerk in the store.
13.What do you think of the woman?
A.Curious and sincere
B.Helpful and curious
C.Enthusiastic and diligent
D.Warm-hearted and honest
14.In the following paragraph, what may the writer mention?
A.How he used smile to solve problems
B.How hard he tried to look for the young man
C.The lesson Carols had taught him
D.How he became a big person of ten feet tall
15.What is the best title for the passage?
A.An Unfriendly Clerk.
B.A Powerful Smile.
C.A Helpful Woman.
D.An Impressive Young Man.

本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。

文章作者通过自己的亲身经历说明了微笑的强大力量。

作者在一家商店因为不友好的店员非常生气，出来后遇到了一个年轻人，年轻人对着作者微笑，微笑的魔力融化了作者内心所有的苦楚，也让作者意识到了微笑的强大力量。

12.细节理解题。

根据第二段中He seemed quite unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store.可知他似乎很不友好，一点也不关心我是不是打算买东西。

我什么也没买，怒气冲冲地走出了商店。

由此可知，作家愤怒地走出商店，是因为他不幸遇到了一个不友好的店员。

应当选B。

13.推理判断题。

根据第二段中The woman stepped forward and eyed me inquiringly. "Carlos, he no speak English," she volunteered. "You want I should tell him something?"可知“Carlos他不会说英语，〞她主动说。

“你想让我告诉他一些事情吗?〞由此可推知，这个女人并不认识作者，但是看到作者和语言不通的Carlos说话，她主动上前告诉作者Carlos不会说英语，还想给作者传话，说明这个女人乐于助人且好奇。

应当选B。

14.推理判断题。

根据最后一段中From that day on, I became smile-conscious, and
I practice the art diligently, anywhere and everywhere, with everybody.可知从那天起，我开始有意识地微笑，并且在任何地方，任何地方，和每个人一起努力练习微笑的艺术。

由此可推知，在接下来的段落中，作者可能会提到他如何用微笑解决问题。

应当选A。

15.主旨大意题。

根据第一段中Is smile just a facial expression? Of course not!
It is not only used to express pleasure, affection, and friendliness, but also the commonest way to show our good will perfectly without saying anything.可知微笑只是一种面部表情吗？当然不是！它不仅用来表达快乐、感情和友好，而且是最常见的，不用说什么，就可以完美地表达我们的善意的方式。

结合文章作者通过自己的亲身经历说明了微笑的强大力量。

作者在一家商店因为不友好的店员非常生气，出来后遇到了一个年轻人，年轻人对着作者微笑，微笑的魔力融化了作者内心所有的苦楚，也让作者意识到了微笑的强大力量。

由此可知，B选项“微笑的强大力量〞最符合文章标题。

应当选B。
