CloseWhen I was sixteen I left school and went to work in butcher’s shop. The manager was a young man, only a few years older than me. And he was very ambitious. Also, he was a little bit dishonest. When customers asked for best steak he would sell them poor-quality beef. He used to do this to young housewives, who if the meat was tough, blamed themselves for not cooking it properly. Sometimes, he did not give the correct change and the customer did not notice.One day, just before Christmas, we decided to close early because we had sold all our meat, except for one small turkey. As I was going to lock the door, a woman rushed in and said that she really had to have a ten-pound turkey. The manager tried to sell her the only one we had left. “It’s too small,” she said. The manager said he would get another one and went to the back of the shop with the turkey. I knew we did not have any more, so I followed him to see what he was going to do. He pulled and stretched the turkey to make it look bigger and then went back and said, “Here you are, madam. Here is the bigger one.”“Yes,” she said, “but not much bigger. I’ll take both of them.”Henry bought some presents and came out of the shop. Although the sun had clouded over, he did not feel like hurrying. There was just the time he needed to do what he wanted. He only regretted that it was not quite warm enough to sit down at one of those little tables on the pavement and take a cup of coffee. This would have reminded him of his first trip abroad and the delight he had taken in such everyday difference as the drinking of coffee in the open air. He wanted to experience all these simple pleasures again. As he walked though the quiet London Street and turned into the avenue in which he lived, he felt so glad to be alive that he almost shouted out with joy.In thirteenth-century Wales, there was a handsome young prince called Llewellyn. He was very fond of hunting and often liked to go out into the forests and mountains with his favorite hunting-dog, whose name was gelert. One day, however, he left gelert at home to guard his baby son who was only a few months old. In the evening when the prince returned from hunting he saw that his house was in a terrible mess. The furniture had been knocked over and there was blood on the walls. He could not find his baby son. Then he saw his dog gelert run towards him, covered in blood. The prince thought that the dog had killed his son. Prince Llewellyn became violently angry, seized his sword and killed the dog with one blow.However, when he looked around his house more carefully he found his son lying under a chair, alive and well. Then he saw the dead body of a huge wolf. He realized that gelert had saved his son’s life by fighting and killing the wolf. The prince was horrified at the mistake he had made and when he buried his dog he built an enormous pile of stones to mark the spot, which can still be seen today. He never went hunting again.In village on the east coast of Scotland, people were waiting anxiously for news. Two of their fishing-boats had been caught in the storm which had blown up during the night. In the cottages round the harbor people stood by their doors too worried to talk.The rest of the fishing fleet had reached the harbor before dark, and the men from these ships waited and watched with the wives and families of the missing men. Some had brought thickblankets and some flasks of hot drinks, knowing that the men would be cold and tired. As dawn began to break over in the east, a small point of light was seen in the darkness of the water and a few minutes later, there was a shout. Before long, the two boats were turning in past the lighthouse, to the safety of the harbor. The men were helped out of their boats and although they were stiff with cold and tiredness they were all safe.Men have lived in groups and societies at all times and in all places, as far as we know. They do not seem able to survive as human beings unless the live in close cooperation with one another. The most basic of these human groups is the family in its various forms. The most important reason for this is the simple fact that human beings take many years to develop. In infancy they are the most helpless of all earthly creatures. For several years after birth, a child has to be fed, clothed and protected day and night. In all societies such duties normally fall to a family group of some kind.Men form groups for countless other reasons. For instance, it is only by cooperating that they are able to control their environment and defend themselves.The impression that more women shoplift than men may be due to publicity. As a recent report on shoplifting pointed out: “every week, newspapers report the conviction of some middle-aged woman of blameless reputation who has stolen, for quite unexplained motives, some objects of little value which she could easily have afforded to buy. Most psychiatrists have at some time seen patients who were accused of this sort of theft.This raises the question of whether the middle class have a better chance of getting off shop-lifting charges than working class. The shops insist that they are concerned solely with whether customers have paid for the goods. Their accent, class or ability to browbeat, is unimportant. But, if charged, the middle class are undoubtedly in a better situation. They are more likely to have, or call in, a solicitor, and they are financially able to risk paying legal costs. The solicitor or friends or relations-may suggest a psychological assessment. And a “respectable”first-time offender, backed by a psychological explanation of a momentary aberration, and defended by a solicitor, surely goes into the dock with more chance of acquittal than someone without these attributes.Publications that come out at regular intervals of more than one day are known as periodicals. The majority of periodicals go to press between a week and six weeks before publication and they are therefore able to print topical news stories and articles in a way that a book cannot. This is one advantage that the periodical has over the book. Other advantages are that periodicals are cheaper, they are easier to read, and their content is more varied.Periodicals differ from newspapers because they do not concentrate upon giving the reader a summary of the immediate news. There are also physical differences. Most periodicals are printed on better paper, they are smaller and are staple or stitched together so that they last longer. The line between newspaper and periodicals is not clearly drawn, however, because some weeklies that appear in newspaper form are really periodicals.Great differences exist between the various types of periodicals. They cater for wide variety of tastes and may be concerned with anything from the technical aspects of frying fish and chips to trends in present-day African literature. They include magazines of all types, trade and technicaljournals, reviews, children’s magazines and comics.A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than to read it out of a book and, if a parent can produce an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. On the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think, well-authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises from the child having been told the story on only one occasion. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girl-friend.No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child has ever believed that it was.。

They're col orful, beautiful? also lightweight. I d on't want to carry anything heavy.Man: Ah, I d on't think you shoul d give handkerchiefs. They aren't a good gift in Chinese culture.Woman: Why not?Man: A handkerchief is a symbol of saying goodbye.Woman: Saying goodbye?Man: Yeah, like when you're going away ... and peopl e are crying, so they need a handkerchief. Actually, I've heard that one of the best things to give is a dinner -- not a present, but a big dinner. It's good for business.Number 2: ArgentinaWoman: This is interesting. Did you know that in Argentina you shoul d never give clothing unl ess you know the person really well?Man: Don't give clothing? Why not?Woman: Cl othing -- even things like ties -- are too personal. Only good friends give them.Man: Huh? I never thought of a tie as being personal ... just uncomfortabl e. What should you bring?Woman: I d on't know. Maybe something for the house.Number 3: SwitzerlandMan: We're meeting Mr. Mertz and his wife for dinner. Maybe I should take fl owers or something ... Yeah, I'll pick up some redroses.Woman: You'd better not give them roses. In Switzerland, they could be a symbol of l ove and romance.Man: Oh, I didn't know that.Woman: I think candy or chocolate might be better.Number 4: ItalyWoman: I'd like some fl owers. Uh ... those. About ten, I guess.Man: Ma'am, I d on't think you should give ten fl owers. In Italy, even numbers -- 2, 4, 6, and so on -- are bad luck.Woman: Even numbers are bad luck? OK, I'll take nine fl owers then. Number 5: JapanWoman: May I help you?Man: I'm going to stay with a family in Japan. I need to get something for them. Woman: Pen sets are always a good gift.Man: Oh, that's a good id ea. Let's see ... There are sets with a pen and pencil ... and bigger sets with four pens.Woman: You said you're going to Japan?Man: Yeah.Woman: Don't give a set of four pens -- in fact, d on't give four of anything. Man: Why not?Woman: The Japanese word for "four" sounds like the word for "d eath." It's bad luck.Man: Thanks for telling me. I'll take the pen and pencil set.Woman: Good choice.

Mr Proglio appears to agree with EDF’s21. He told France’s parliament this month that he was unsure whether EDF should expand to America by completing the deal with Constellation. “He doesn’t want EDF to22too many hares at the same time,” says a person close to the government. Yet Mr Proglio seems to have grandiose ideas of his own. EDF’s next-generation reactor, called the EPR, is designed by Areva, another state-controlled French firm. Areva is in difficulty because the first EPR, under construction in Finland, is well behind23and far over budget. This week Mr Proglio said that EDF should take control of the bit of Areva that builds reactors. The idea is a radical one, and Areva will certainly resist it—but it indicates the uncertainty surrounding EDF’s strategy.

2009英语语言文学完形填空全文Obtaining Linguistic DataMany procedures are available for obtaining data about a language. They range from a carefully planned, intensive field investigation in a foreign country to a casualintrospection about one's mother tongue carried out in an armchair at home.In all cases, someone has to act as a source of language data - an informant. Informants are(ideally) native speakers of a language, who provide utterances for analysis and other kinds of information about the language(e.g. translations, comments about correctness, or judgements on usage). Often, when studying their mother tongue, linguists act as their own informants, judging the ambiguity, acceptability, or other properties of utterances against their own intuitions. The convenience of this approach makes it widely used, and it is considered the norm in the generative approach to linguistics. But a linguist's personal judgements are often uncertain, or disagree with the judgements of other linguists, at which point recourse is needed to more objective methods of enquiry, using non-linguists as informants. The latter procedure is unavoidable when working on foreign languages,or child speech.Many factors must be considered when selecting informants - whether one is working with single speakers(a common situation when languages have not been described before), two people interacting, small groups or large-scale samples. Age, sex, social background and other aspects of identity are important, as these factors are known to influence the kind of language used. The topic of conversation and the characteristics of the social setting(e.g. the level of formality) are also highly relevant, as are the personal qualities of the informants(e.g. their fluency and consistency). For larger studies, scrupulous attention has been paid to the sampling theory employed, and in all cases, decisions have to be made about the bestinvestigative techniques to use.Today, researchers often tape-record informants. This enables the linguist's claims about the language to be checked, and provides a way of making those claims more accurate('difficult' pieces of speech can be listened to repeatedly). But obtaining naturalistic, good-quality data is never easy. People talk abnormally when they knowthey are being recorded, and sound quality can be poor. A variety of tape-recording procedures have thus been devised to minimise the 'observer's paradox'(how to observe the way people behave when they are not bening observed). Some recordings are made without the speaker being aware of the fact - a procedure that obtains very natural data, though ethical objections must be anticipated. Alternatively, attempts can be made to make the speaker forget about the recording, such as keeping the tape recorder out of sight, or using radio microphones. A useful technique is to introduce a topic that quickly involves the speaker, and stimulates a natural language style(e.g. asking older informants about how times have changed in theirlocality).An audio tape recording does not solve all the linguist's problems, however. Speech is often unclear and ambiguous. Where possible , therefore, the recording has to be supplemented by the observer's written comments on the non-verbal behaviour of the participants, and about the context in general. A facial expression, for example, can dramatically alter the meaning of what is said. Video recordings avoid these problems to a large extent, but even they have limitations(the camera connot be everywhere), and transcriptions always benefit from any additional commentaryprovided by an observer.Linguists also make great use of structured sessions, in which they systematically ask their informants for utterances that describe certain actions, objects or behaviour. With a bilingual informant, or through use of an interpreter, it is possible to use translation techniques('How do you say table in your language?').A large number of points can be covered in a short time, using interview worksheets and questionnaires. Often, the researcher wishes to obtain information about just a single variable, in which case a restricted set of questions may be used: a particular feature of pronunciation, for example, can be elicited by asking the informant to say a restricted set of words. There are also several direct methods of elicitation, such as asking informants to fill in the blanks in a substitution frame(e.g I__see a car), or feeding them the wrong stimulus for correction('Is itpossible to say I no can see?').A representative sample of language, compiled for the purpose of linguistic analysis, is known as a corpus. A corpus enables the linguist to make unbiased statements about frequency of usage, and it provides accessible data for the use of differentresearchers. Its range and size are variable. Some corpora attempt to cover the language as a whole, taking extracts from many kinds of text; others are extremely selective, providing a collection of material that deals only with a particular linguistic feature. The size of the porpus depends on practical factors, such as the time available to collect, process and store the data: it can take up to several hours to provide an accurate transcription of a few minutes of speech. Sometimes a small sample of data will be enough to decide a linguistic hypothesis; by contrast, corpora in major research projects can total millions of words. An important principle is that all corpora, whatever their size, are inevitably limited in their coverage, and always need to be supplemented by data derived from the intuitions of native speakers of the language, through either introspection or experimentation.。

But the boycott was not heeded by the Church's followers proving that,where Uncle Walt is concerned,not even God's word is law.改错部分15个15分这里选取改错（1-10，还有5个）driven by short spurts of intense change.In the latest chapter in this debate,researchers report that it appears that when new languages spin-off from older one,(1)_there is an initial introductory burst of alterations to vocabulary.Then,the language intends to settle and accumulate gradual changes(2)_over a long period of time.The team believes this discreteevolutionarypattern occurs when a social group tries to forge a separate identification.(3)_Study co-author Mark Pagel says that the latest study grew out ofan earlier finding in which he and colleagues determined that about20percent of genetic changes among species occur they first(4)_split off,whereas the re st happens gradually.“It was very natural(5)_with us to wonder if a similar process of evolution happens incultural(6)_groups,"Pagel says.‘‘We treat the words that the differentlanguagesuse almost identically so to the way we use genes...The more divergent(7)_two species are,the less their genes have in common,just like themore(8)_divergent two languages are,the less their words have in common.”Theteam focused on three of the world's major language families in itsstudy:Bantu,Indo-European andAustronesian.They constructedgenealogicaltrees—similar to those they had created previously in their2006species-related studyalbeit this time the trees traced existed languages(9)一back to their common roots;the length of a“branch”indicates theextent of(10)_word replacement that took place as each old language morphed intoits current form.1.one——ones2.intends—tends3.identification一identity4.occur they—中间加个when5.happens—happen6.with—for7.so—/8.like—as9.existed—existing10.indicates一indicated阅读是根据GRE、GMAT阅读改编的，下面是部分原文Passage1The recent change to all-volunteer armed forces in the United States will eventually produce a gradual increase in the proportion of women in the armed forces and in the variety of women’s assignments,but probably not the dramatic gains for women that might have been expected.This is so even though the armed forces operate in an ethos of institutional change oriented toward occupational equality and under the federal sanction of equal pay for equal work.The difficulty is that women are unlikely to be trained for any direct combat operations.A significant portion of the larger society remains uncomfortable as yet with extending equality in this direction.Therefore,for women in the military,the search for equality will still be based on functional equivalence,not identity or even similarity of task. Opportunities seem certain to arise.The growing emphasis on deterrence is bound to offer increasing scope for women to become involved in novel types of noncombat military assignments.17.The primary purpose of the passage is to(A)present an overview of the different types of assignments available to womenin the new United States all-volunteer armed forces(B)present a reasoned prognosis of the status of women in the new United Statesall-volunteer armed forces(C)present the new United States all-volunteer armed forces as a model case ofequal employment policies in action(D)analyze reforms in the new United States all-volunteer armed forcesnecessitated by the increasing number of women in the military(E)analyze the use of functional equivalence as a substitute for occupationalequality in the new United States all-volunteer armed forces18.According to the passage,despite the United States armed forces’commitment tooccupational equality for women in the military,certain other factors preclude women’s(A)receiving equal pay for equal work(B)having access to positions of responsibility at most levels(C)drawing assignments from a wider range of assignments than before(D)benefiting from opportunities arising from new noncombat functions(E)being assigned all of the military tasks that are assigned to men19.The passage implies that which of the following is a factor conducive to a moreequitable representation of women in the United States armed forces than hasexisted in the past?(A)The all-volunteer character of the present armed forces(B)The past service records of women who had assignments functionallyequivalent to men’s assignments(C)The level of awareness on the part of the larger society of military issues(D)A decline in the proportion of deterrence oriented noncombat assignments(E)Restrictive past policies governing the military assignments open to women20.The“dramatic gains for women”(line5)and the attitude,as described in lines11-12,of a“significant portion of the larger society”are logically related to each other inasmuch as the author puts forward the latter as(A)a public response to achievement of the former(B)the major reason for absence of the former(C)a precondition for any prospect of achieving the former(D)a catalyst for a further extension of the former(E)a reason for some of the former being lost againPassage2Of the thousands of specimens of meteorites found on Earth and known to science,only about100are igneous;that is,they have undergone melting by volcanic action at some time since the planets were first formed.These igneous meteorites are known as achondritesbecause they lack chondrules—small stony spherules found in the thousands of meteorit es (called“chondrites”)composed primarily of unaltered minerals that condensed from dust and gas at the origin of the solar system.Achondrites are the only known samples of volcanic rocks originating outside the Earth-Moon system.Most are thought to have been dislodged by interbody impact from asteroids,with diameters offrom10to500kilometers,in solar orbit between Mars and Jupiter.Shergottites,the name given to three anomalous achondrites so far discovered on Earth, present scientists with a genuine enigma.Shergottites crystallized from molten rock less than 1.1billion years ago(some3.5billion years later than typical achondrites)and were presumably ejected into space when an object impacted on a body similar in chemical composition to Earth.While most meteorites appear to derive from comparatively small bodies,shergottites exhibit properties that indicate that their source was a large planet,conceivably Mars.In order to account for such an unlikely source,some unusual factor must be invoked,because the impact needed to accelerate a fragment of rock to escape the gravitational field of a body even as small as the Moon is so great that no meteorites of lunar origin have been discovered.While some scientists speculate that shergottites derive from Io(a volcanically active moon of Jupiter),recent measurements suggest that since Io’s surface is rich in sulfur and sodium,the chemical composition of its volcanic products would probably be unlike that of the shergottites.Moreover,any fragments dislodged from Io by interbody impact would be unlikely to escape the gravitational pull of Jupiter.The only other logical source of shergottites is Mars.Space-probe photographs indicate the existence of giant volcanoes on the Martian surface.From the small number of impact craters that appear on Martian lava flows,one can estimate that the planet was volcanically active as recently as a half-billion years ago—and may be active today.The great objection to the Martian origin of shergottites is the absence of lunar meteorites onEarth.An impact capable of ejecting a fragment of the Martian surface into an Earth-intersecting orbit is even less probable than such an event on the Moon,in view of the Moon’s smaller size and closer proximity to Earth.A recent study suggests,however,that permafrost ices below the surface of Mars may have altered the effects of impact on it.If the ices had been rapidly vaporized by an impacting object,the expanding gases might have helped the ejected fragments reach escape velocity.Finally,analyses performed by space probes show a remarkable chemical similarity between Martian soil and the shergottites.21.The passage implies which of the following about shergottites?I.They are products of volcanic activity.II.They derive from a planet larger than Earth.III.They come from a planetary body with a chemical composition similar to that of Io.(A)I only(B)II only(C)I and II only(D)II and III only(E)I,II,and III22.According to the passage,a meteorite discovered on Earth is unlikely to havecome from a large planet for which of the following reasons?(A)There are fewer large planets in the solar system than there are asteroids.(B)Most large planets have been volcanically inactive for more than a billionyears.(C)The gravitational pull of a large planet would probably prohibit fragmentsfrom escaping its orbit.(D)There are no chondrites occurring naturally on Earth and probably none onother large planets.(E)Interbody impact is much rarer on large than on small planets because of thedensity of the atmosphere on large planets.23.The passage suggests that the age of shergottites is probably(A)still entirely undetermined(B)less than that of most other achondrites(C)about3.5billion years(D)the same as that of typical achondrites(E)greater than that of the Earth24.According to the passage,the presence of chondrules in a meteorite indicates thatthe meteorite(A)has probably come from Mars(B)is older than the solar system itself(C)has not been melted since the solar system formed(D)is certainly less than4billion years old(E)is a small fragment of an asteroid25.The passage provides information to answer which of the following questions?(A)What is the precise age of the solar system?(B)How did shergottites get their name?(C)What are the chemical properties shared by shergottites and Martian soils?(D)How volcanically active is the planet Jupiter?(E)What is a major feature of the Martian surface?26.It can be inferred from the passage that each of the following is a consideration indetermining whether a particular planet is a possible source of shergottites that have been discovered on Earth EXCEPT the(A)planet’s size(B)planet’s distance from Earth(C)strength of the planet’s field of gravity(D)proximity of the planet to its moons(E)chemical composition of the planet’s surface27.It can be inferred from the passage that most meteorites found on Earth containwhich of the following?(A)Crystals(B)Chondrules(C)Metals(D)Sodium(E)SulfurPassage3The transplantation of organs from one individual to another normally involves two major problems:(1)organ rejection is likely unless the transplantation antigens of both individuals are nearly identical,and(2)the introduction of any unmatched transplantation antigens induces the development by the recipient of donor-specific lymphocytes that will produce violent rejection of further transplantations from that donor.However,we have found that among many strains of rats these“normal”rules of transplantation are not obeyed by liver transplants.Not only are liver transplants never rejected,but theyeven induce a state of donor-specific unresponsiveness in which subsequent transplants of other organs,such as skin,from that donor are accepted permanently.Our hypothesis is that(1)many strains of rats simply cannot mount a sufficiently vigorous destructive immune-response(using lymphocytes)to outstrip the liver’s relatively great capacity to protect itself from immune-response damage and that(2)the systemic unresponsiveness observed is due to concentration of the recipient’s donor-specific lymphocytes at the site of the liver transplant.17.The primary purpose of the passage is to treat the accepted generalizations aboutorgan transplantation in which of the following ways?(A)Explicate their main features(B)Suggest an alternative to them(C)Examine their virtues and limitations(D)Criticize the major evidence used to support them(E)Present findings that qualify them18.It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes that an importantdifference among strains of rats is the(A)size of their livers(B)constitution of their skin(C)strength of their immune-response reactions(D)sensitivity of their antigens(E)adaptability of their lymphocytes19.According to the hypothesis of the author,after a successful liver transplant,thereason that rats do not reject further transplants of other organs from the same donor is that the(A)transplantation antigens of the donor and the recipientbecome matched(B)lymphocytes of the recipient are weakened by the activity of the transplantedliver(C)subsequently transplanted organ is able to repair the damage caused by therecipient’s immune-response reaction(D)transplanted liver continues to be the primary locus for the recipient’simmune-response reaction(E)recipient is unable to manufacture the lymphocytes necessary for theimmune-response reaction20.Which of the following new findings about strains of rats that do not normallyreject liver transplants,if true,would support the authors’hypothesis?I.Stomach transplants are accepted by the recipients in all cases.II.Increasing the strength of the recipient’s immune-response reaction can induce liver-transplant rejection./doc/0b1806541.html,ans from any other donor can be transplanted without rejection after liver transplantation.IV.Preventing lymphocytes from being concentrated at the liver transplant produces acceptance of skin transplants.(A)II only(B)I and III only(C)II and IV only(D)I,II,and III only(E)I,III,and IV onlyPassage4Three passions,simple but overwhelmingly strong,have governed my life:the longing for love,the search for knowledge,and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.These passions,like great winds,have blown me hither and thither,in a wayward course,over a deep ocean of anguish,reaching to the very verge of despair.I have sought love,first,because it brings ecstasy---ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours for this joy.I have sought it,next, because it relieves loneliness---that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss.I have sought it,finally,because in the union of love I have seen,in a mystic miniature,the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought,and though it might seem too good for human life,this is what---at last---I have found.With equal passion I have sought knowledge.I have wished to understand the hearts of men.I have wished to know why the stars shine.And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux.A little of this,but not much,I have achieved.Love and knowledge,so far as they were possible,led upward toward the heavens. But always it brought me back to earth.Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart.Children in famine,victims tortured by oppressors,helpless old people a hated burden to their sons,and the whole world of loneliness,poverty,and pain make a mockery of what human life should be.I long to alleviate the evil,but I cannot,and I too suffer.This has been my life.I have found it worth living,and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.Passage7Practically speaking,the artistic maturing of the cinema was the single-handed achievement of David W.Griffith(1875-1948).Before Griffith,photography in dramatic films consisted of little more than placing the actors before a stationary camera and showing them in full length as they would have appeared on stage.From the beginning of his career as a director,however,Griffith,because of his love of Victorian painting,employed composition.He conceived of the camera image as having a foreground and a rear ground,as well as the middle distance preferred by most directors.By1910he was using close-ups to reveal significant details of the scene or of the acting and extreme long shots to achieve a sense of spectacle and distance.His appreciation of the camera’s possibilities produced novel dramatic effects.By splitting an event into fragments and recording each from the most suitable camera position,he could significantly vary the emphasis from camera shot to camera shot.Griffith also achieved dramatic effects by means of creative editing.By juxtaposing images and varying the speed and rhythm of their presentation,he could control the dramatic intensity of the events as the story progressed.Despite the reluctance of his producers,who feared that the public would not be able to follow a plot that was made up of such juxtaposed images,Griffith persisted,and experimented as well with other elements of cinematic syntax that have become standard ever since.These included the flashback,permitting broad psychological and emotional exploration as well as narrative that was notchronological,and the crosscut between two parallel actions to heighten suspense and excitement.In thus exploiting fully the possibilities of editing,Griffith transposed devices of the Victorian novel to film and gave film mastery of time as well as space.Besides developing the cinema’s language,Griffith immensely broadened its range and treatment of subjects.His early output was remarkably eclectic:it included not only the standard comedies,melodramas,westerns,and thrillers,but also such novelties as adaptations from Browning and Tennyson,and treatments of social issues.As his successes mounted,his ambitions grew,and with them the whole of American cinema.When he remade Enoch Arden in1911,he insisted that a subject of such importance could not be treated in the then conventional length of one reel.Griffith’s introduction of the American-made multireel picture began an immense revolution.Two years later,Judith of Bethulia,an elaborate historicophilosophical spectacle,reached the unprecedented length of four reels,or one hour’s running time.From our contemporary viewpoint,the pretensions of this film may seem a trifle ludicrous,but at the time it provoked endless debate and discussion and gave a new intellectual respectability to the cinema.21.The primary purpose of the passage is to(A)discuss the importance of Griffith to the development of the cinema(B)describe the impact on cinema of the flashback and other editing innovations(C)deplore the state of American cinema before the advent of Griffith(D)analyze the changes in the cinema wrought by theintroduction of themultireel film(E)document Griffith’s impact on the choice of subject matter in American films22.The author suggests that Griffith’s film innovations hada direct effect on all ofthe following EXCEPT:(A)film editing(B)camera work(C)scene composing(D)sound editing(E)directing23.It can be inferred from the passage that before1910the normal running time of afilm was(A)15minutes or less(B)between15and30minutes(C)between30and45minutes(D)between45minutes and1hour(E)1hour or more24.The author asserts that Griffith introduced all of the following into Americancinema EXCEPT:(A)consideration of social issues(B)adaptations from Tennyson(C)the flashback and other editing techniques(D)photographic approaches inspired by Victorian painting(E)dramatic plots suggested by Victorian theater25.The author suggests that Griffith’s contributions to the cinema had which of thefollowing results?I.Literary works,especially Victorian novels,became popular sources for filmsubjects.II.Audience appreciation of other film directors’experimentations with cinematic syntax was increased.III.Many of the artistic limitations thought to be inherent in filmmaking were shown to be really nonexistent.(A)II only(B)III only(C)I and II only(D)II and III only(E)I,II,and III26.It can be inferred from the passage that Griffith would be most likely to agreewith which of the following statements?(A)The good director will attempt to explore new ideas as quickly as possible.(B)The most important element contributing to a film’s success is the ability ofthe actors.(C)The camera must be considered an integral and active element in the creationof a film.(D)The cinema should emphasize serious and sober examinations offundamental human problems.(E)The proper composition of scenes in a film is more important than the detailsof their editing.27.The author’s attitude toward photography in the cinema before Griffith can bestbe described as(A)sympathetic(B)nostalgic(C)amused(D)condescending(E)hostile作文25分小作文，三句格言，任选一写篇250的记叙文（自己亲身经历）1A little knowledge is a dangerous

Two new books about him may (2) readers back to the original novels with renewed zest. The first is a (3) appreciation by Sir Frank Kermode, who, at 90, is one of the grand old men of British literary scholarship. The second, by Wendy Moffat, digs to the (4) of Forster’s private self. When asked to （5）the Clark Lectures at Cambridge University in 2007, Sir Frank chose Forster as his （6）. Forster himself had delivered the Clark Lectures in 1927 on “Aspects of the Novel”. By then he was no longer a publishing novelist, （7）the success he had enjoyed with “A Room with a View”, “Howards End” and his final masterpiece, “A Passage to India”, which（8）out in 1924. Forster would live on until 1970, a fellow of King’s College, Cambridge, publishing essays and criticism. But as a novelist he was （9）.Towards the （10）of his life, Forster explained in his unpublished diary why he had given up on the novel: “I should have been a more famous writer if I had written or rather published more, but sex has （11）the latter…how annoyed I am with Society for wasting my time by making homosexuality criminal.” Forster was never going to be a （12）homosexual like Oscar Wilde. Until the first world war, and an （13）at the age of 38 with a soldier on a beach near Alexandria, he was painfully virginal. He eventually found happiness in a ménage à trois with a married policeman and his wife. But he was never （14）to bohemianism either in sex or in art. Unlike others of his generation, who broke the （15）of literary form by experimenting with modernism, Forster’s genius was quieter. Both as a writer and as a moralist, he regarded the exploration of （16）forms and ideas as dubious, valuing messy humanity instead. A belief in compromise, tolerance and kindness （17）his liberalism. Some regarded this as woolly thinking—a famous Cambridge critic, F.R. Leavis, believed his Clark Lectures were characterised by “intellectual nullity”. But the Forster in both these books comes across as covertly sophisticated. If his novels have not got the self-conscious “art” of Henry James, it is because Forster wished to （18）with the vagaries of human experience rather than to （19）a separate aesthetic universe. He was not, however, anti-art. Sir Frank （20）on the importance of music in Fo rster’s work, including the use of literary leitmotifs that （21）through his novels like musical themes. Forster loved Richard Wagner and felt an （22）with Marcel Proust, a writer for whom musical phrasing was a （23）both for art and for life. He wrote the li bretto for “Billy Budd” by Benjamin Britten, a British composer who called him “our most musical novelist”. Would Forster’s imagination have been （24）if he had been able to write openly about homosexuality? Sir Frank is not convinced by “Maurice”, his one novel about same-sex love, which was published only after his death. Its central （25）, between an upper-middle-class man and his working-class lover, has been （26）as sentimental, its happy ending dismissed as wish-fulfilment. Although it does not achieve t he depth of “A Passage to India”—a book that was inspired, at a tangent, by Forster’s intense, romantic friendship with a Western-educated, upper-class Indian, Syed Ross Masood—Ms Moffat, nevertheless, makes a （27）case for its significanceSir Frank is affectionate, but not uncritical. He finds （28）snobbery, for example, in Forster’s treatment ofLeonard Bast, the pathetic clerk with literary aspirations in “Howards End”. Forster was, （29）, more compassionate in life than he was in art. The man who （30）from Ms Moffat’s biography is ineffably human.Key；1 associated 2 send 3 critical 4 root 5 give 6 subject 7 despite 8 came 9 silent 10 end 11 prevented 12 reckless 13 encounter 14 drawn 15 mould 16 abstract 17 underpinned 18 connect 19 create 20 expounds 21 run 22 affinity 23 paradigm 24 liberated 25 relationship 26 described 27 persuasive 28 unpleasant 29 perhaps 30 emerges（subject, prevent, draw, run, send, relationship, perhaps, silent, paradigm, underpin, critical, end, encounter, expound, affinity, despite, connect, root, persuasive, reckless, unpleasant, mould, associate, abstract, give, liberate, come, emerge, create, describe）三．猎手与猎物(marvel, fill, hunger, visualize, arm, knack, chronicle, gawking, excel, prowl, brushes, hand, view, odd, preserve, sense, divide, show, spread, introduce, check, exploit, unsuspecting, available, echo, juxtaposition, escaping, hold, arresting, greet)All it takes to be a photographer, Henri Cartier-Bresson once said, is “one finger, one eye and two legs”. He (1) photography as a way of engaging with the world. He quietly stalked his subjects—Balinese dancers, Mongolian wrestlers, New York bankers—until that “decisive moment” when the right composition (2) the frame. It all came so naturally. He rarely used a light meter or (3) his aperture setting, and he seldom took more than a few shots of a single subject. With the instinct of a hunter, he knew when to click the shutter: “I (4) the streets all day, feeling very strung-up and ready to pounce, det ermined to ‘trap’ life—to (5) life in the act of living.”Born in 1908 in Paris, the eldest son of wealthy cotton-thread manufacturers, Cartier-Bresson had a lusty, rebellious (6) for travel. With a head full of Rimbaud and a copy of “Ulysses” under his (7), he set off for west Africa in search of adventure. (He aspired to be a painter, but Gertrude Stein suggested he drop the (8).) He bought his first Leica in the Côte d’Ivoire when he was 23. Light and quiet, the camera had just come onto the market, and it was a revelation. It fitted into his pocket, along with a few rolls of film. “Nobody took pictures that were better at (9) the portability of the camera,” says Peter Galassi, the chief curator of photography at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, wher e “Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Modern Century” is on (10).The show, many years in the making, is drawn primarily from the huge archive of work (11) by the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation in Paris, founded a year before he died in 2004. From the thousands (12), Mr Galassi has selected 300 images from 1929 to 1989, a fifth of which have never been seen publicly before.As cameras grew smaller and picture magazines bigger, Cartier-Bresson became a globe-trotting hired (13). But though he had a (14) for being in the right place at the right time—in India at the time of Gandhi’s assassination, in China during the Cultural Revolution—he did not really have a nose for a good scoop. What he (15) at was seeing things in a different way from most other people.The visitor is (16) by a wall of four photographs: a crowd of flag-waving, bespectacled Nixon-supporters in Texas in 1960 (the illustration above (17) a couple of more sedate fans in Indiana); a cluster of Chinese youth (18) at a television in Beijing in 1958; a mass of French mourners in coats holding hands in 1962; and a group of wizened and rather menacing old men in Sardinia, lounging in straw-like grass, also in 1962. The (19) of these images shows not just Cartier-Bresson’s range but also his gift for group portraits. When snapping a spectacle—a coronation, say, or a parade—he trained his camera on the (20) bystanders.The show is (21) into sections, starting with some of Cartier-Bresson’s most (22) surrealist work from the 1930s, such as a sunbather in Trieste, Italy, whose white body (23) a sliver of white in the grass, and his self-assured prostitutes in Mexico City. Then came the war (he was a prisoner in Germany for three years before （24）) followed by his career as photojournalist and portrait photographer.There is much to （25）at, such as the pictures of China in 1948, which capture the photographer’s powerful （26）of formal composition. Some of the curator’s choices seem a bit (27) and the written descriptions, which add little, are occasionally heavy-handed. One section, for instance, is (28) as Cartier-Bresson’s criticism of “American vulgarity, greed and racism”. But the visitor is left with a remarkable (29) of the transformations of the 20th century—the rise of industrialisation, the fall of colonialism, the (30) of commercialism and the grand-scale shift in world order—all captured by a lone man and his camera.Key;1 visualised 2 filled 3 checked 4 prowled 5 preserve 6 hunger 7 arm 8 brushes 9 exploiting 10 view 11 held 12 available 13 hand 14 knack 15 excelled 16 greeted 17 shows 18 gawking 19 juxtaposition 20 unsuspecting 21 divided 22 arresting 23 echoes 24 escaping 25 marvel 26 sense 27 odd 28 introduced 29 chronicle 30 spread (marvel, fill, hunger, visualize, arm, knack, chronicle, gawking, excel, prowl, brushes, hand, view, odd, preserve, sense, divide, show, spread, introduce, check, exploit, unsuspecting, available, echo, juxtaposition, escaping, hold, arresting, greet)。

It was at primary school that Gu Huijing first became interested in cars after watching some car-themed movies. Born in2004 inShenzhen, Guangdong province, Gu decided to major in automobiles (汽车) when she was in junior high.She's driven by interest, but she is also a realist. “I think the future of the automobile industry is bright because we cannot live without food, clothes, houses and cars,” she said.In April, she won first prize at a competition for vehicle maintenance (车辆维修) in Dongguan city, which drew 33 teams from different cities across the province.“I thought it couldn't be that hard to repair cars when I started to take courses, but I was totally wrong,” Gu said. When she started learning in 2019, she was frequently confused by various problems. “And competition within our school is intense, so I had to work extra hard,” she said.Her teacher once tried to persuade her to give up as she was a sophomore (大二学生), and wasn't as knowledgeable as the seniors, and no women had ever been selected for the competition before. “But I insisted that I would carry on,” she said. Finally, her training and hard work won her the only place to stand for her school at the competition.A woman winning first prize in a vehicle maintenance competition became a hot topic on-line, causing heated discussions over gender (性别) and career choices. “Women should not be influenced by old-fashioned thinking, and should do whatever it takes to discover their interests and strengths. There are more possibilities out there,” one netizen wrote.Gu said, “Many people think vehicle maintenance is a job for men. That's wrong. I don't think gender has anything to do with choice of jobs.” “I have a goal and I will work harder to make it happen,” she added. “I will be responsible for my choices.”4. What was a cause of Gu's choosing automobiles as her major?A. The love for automobiles.B. The guidance from her parents.C. The high popularity of automobiles.D. The determination to contribute to society.5. Why did Gu's teacher advise her to quit the competition?A. She lacked the knowledge related to it.B. She had never taken part in a competition before.C. She was unlikely to win the competition.D. Women were not allowed to enter the competition.6. Which of the following best describes Gu Huijing?A. Creative and caring.B. Determined and hard-working.C. Independent and humorous.D. Honest and courageous.7. What would be the best title for the text?A. There Is No End To LearningB. Teenage Girl Wins Car Repair ContestC. Vehicle Maintenance Catches OnD. Taking Challenge Leads To SuccessCIt’s a big change from homeless teen to Yale (耶鲁)medical school student, butperseverancepaid off for Chelesa Fearce of Clayton County, Georgia.Fearce was a fourth grader when her mom was diagnosed (诊断) with Lymphoma (淋巴瘤).That began a hard time for the family. They had to move in and out of shelters,hotels and even the family car.“I know I have been made stronger. I was homeless. My family slept on the floor and we were lucky if we got more than one full meal a day. Getting a shower, food and clean clothes was an everyday struggle,” Fearce said in a speech she gave at her high school graduation ceremony. Fearce overcame her day-to-day struggles by focusing on a better day. “I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore. And that helped me get through,” she told WSBTV.Fearce was determined to be a good role model for her younger sister. She found inspiration in her late grandmother, struggling with deadly diseases, who gave Fearce emotional support. In her junior and senior year, Fearce took both high school and college courses, missing out on the free meals she depended on so she could get to her college classes. Despite having to use her cellphone to study after the shelter lights were turned off at night, she not only graduated as valedictorian (毕业生代表) of her 2013 class with a 4.5 grade average, but was alsogiven a ride scholarship—including a meal plan to Spelman College in Atlanta.After graduation, she worked full time for two years at the National Institutes for Health inBethesda,Maryland,doing research on drugs.

Chelesa Fearce: A Girl of Many TalentsDI was checking out at the supermarket counter on Wednesday night, ready to pay for my bananas, when all ofa sudden, fear came upon me. My wallet was gone. And I could only have left it one place: the G9 bus, from which I had gotten off minutes earlier and which was now speeding to some stops. The moment of realizing it was gone was followed by mental math. How much time and money would it cost to replace the credit cards, the driver's license, the expensive lipstick ($ 55!).Two hours after I was back at my house, I heard a knock on the door. My husband answered while I sat in the dining room on the phone with a credit card company. "Does Jennifer live here?" I heard someone say. In her hand was my wallet, without a penny missing. She left before I could offer my gratitude to her.After I posted the story, I heard from her boyfriend, who identified the good citizen as Erin Ball, a 26-year-oldgirl working for a trade organization.Once I figured out her, I called to thank her. She said she spotted my wallet and thought that it's more dangerous to go to a stranger's house than leaving the wallet with the driver, but she still decided to take the chance. "If I were in that situation, I would want someone to try to find me," she said. Ball doesn't find her actions particularly excellent. She added, "It's not hard to do small things for people."After Ball found my wallet, she decided to post a picture of my driver's license online before going to my house, trying to see if anyone knew me. No sooner had she left my doorstep than I got emails from two neighbors who recognized my face, both offering to help me find my missing property.Ball found my house on a bitterly cold night for which I was extremely grateful. Looking back, I'm not surprised someone had wanted to help a stranger. A warm current of honesty and harmony is running through this town.12. What do we know about the author according to paragraph 1?A. She missed the G9 bus.B. She paid for her bananas.C. She replaced the credit cards.D. She found she had left her wallet on the bus.13. Who helped the author find Ball?A. The G9 driver.B. The girl's boyfriend.C. The author's neighbors.D. The author's husband.14. What did Ball do first after finding the wallet?A. Ball called the author.B. Ball went to the author's house.C. Ball gave the wallet to the bus driver.D. Ball posted a photo of the author's driving license.15. Which of the following best describes Erin Ball?A. Humorous and kind.B. Generous and demanding.C. Honest and warm-hearted.D. Caring and outgoing.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

EDF has kept costs under control better than Areva, but it may still struggle to stick to the €4 billion budget it has set for the EPR it is building at Flamanville on France’s northern coast (pictured). Whereas EDF’s existing fleet of plants produces power at an average cost of around €30 per megawatt hour (MWh), says Ms Savvantidou, the cost of energy from its new plants will be around €55-60/MWh, and could rise as high as €70 if projects run over budget. EDF26sells power for about €39/MWh on average, according to Citigroup.
The rising cost of building new nuclear plants is another worry. Higher prices for cement and steel, the complexity of building new designs for the first time and onerous safety requirements are all adding to EDF’s bills and threatening profits. “Every morning we get a new safety request,” complains one executive. The24of the nuclear supply-chain over recent decades (there is only one supplier in the world for some components) and the sudden rush by multiple governments to spur construction are also25of inflation.
EDF is also facing operational troubles. France has had to import large quantities of electricity this year because almost a third of its nuclear plants went out of14at some point, either because of strikes or for15. France’s grid operator recently warned that the country could even suffer power16this winter. One17cause, says Sofia Savvantidou of Citigroup, an investment bank, is many years of underinvestment. As well as spending more on everyday maintenance, EDF will need to invest to extend the life of its French reactors from 40 to 60 years. A few years ago it thought the cost would be18, but now it reckons it will need to spend €400m on each plant.

TEXT 1
NEXT week Henri Proglio will become the boss of EDF Group, the state-controlled French firm which is the world’s biggest1utility and operator of nuclear reactors. With its proud corporate culture, its2to long-term planning and its powerful unions (the Con jointly runs the firm, in effect), EDF is sometimes described as a miniature3of France itself. Last year it began a4campaign to build nuclear plants around the world. But to the dismay of advocates of a nuclear renaissance, the cost and complexity of embarking on several big projects at once is weighing on the firm, despite its size and government backing.
EDF has long exported its nuclear-energy expertise, but earned only advisory fees for its efforts. It helped build China’s nuclear fleet, for example, for a few million euros. Now, as growth at home slows, it wants to make bigger5by building and6nuclear plants of its own abroad. After all, it is one of very few utilities that can7to build several reactors by itself, without sharing the risk with partners or governments. And in an industry which atrophied after accidents at Three Mile Island in America and Chernobyl in8is now Ukraine, it has relatively extensive recent experience of building and operating modern nuclear plants.
Mr Proglio appears to agree with EDF’s21. He told France’s parliament this month that he was unsure whether EDF should expand to America by completing the deal with Constellation. “He doesn’t want EDF to22too many hares at the same time,” says a person close to the government. Yet Mr Proglio seems to have grandiose ideas of his own. EDF’s next-generation reactor, called the EPR, is designed by Areva, another state-controlled French firm. Areva is in difficulty because the first EPR, under construction in Finland, is well behind23and far over budget. This week Mr Proglio said that EDF should take control of the bit of Areva that builds reactors. The idea is a radical one, and Areva will certainly resist it—but it indicates the uncertainty surrounding EDF’s strategy.
