Many of his stories are set in his hometown of Maine. When he was a young boy, King witnessed one of his friends being struck and killed by a train. Some people have suggested that this is why he frequently writes about death. But when he wrote a biography about becoming a writer, he did not mention this incident. In 1970,he got a degree in English from the University of Maine. He occasionally sold short stories from 1971 to 1973,but it wasn’t until 1974 that he published his first novel Carrie. Surprisingly, he had given up on this story in its early stages and thrown it away. Luckily, his wife found it in the rubbish can and told him to keep working on it. He made enough money from publishing that book to be able to write full time. Since then, he has become one of the most famous writers in the world. 【17题详解】

Wellington: Huawei has started a rugby-themed media campaign in a bid to win over New Zealand’s public after the country’s security agency blocked the Chinese tec hnology giant’s equipment from being used in a nationwide Internet network.
“5G without Huawei is like rugby without New Zealand,” ads in New Zealand’s two largest newspapers read alongside a photo of players competing in a ball. Large posters also appeal to the country’s love of the sport. In November, New Zealand’s Government Communications Security Department (GCSD) told Spark it couldn’t use equipment from Huawei-the worlds largest telecommunication equipment company—in the building of its 5G network be cause an unspecific “significant network security risk was identified”. Spark is now in the process of seeing if it can make changes to prevent those risks, although GCSD has declined to publicly say how that would happen.
Huawei’s newspaper ad goes on to argue the decision would mean less advanced technology and higher prices for New Zealand customers. The ads come after the company last month publicly offered to only use New Zealand, rather than Chinese, staff to build the network—in a bid to ease fears—and called for an urgent meeting with the government, denying (否认) there had been any wrongdoing.
Western spy agencies have increasingly raised security concerns about Huawei—China’s largest telecommunications company-over what they say are possible links to the Chinese government, with the United States reportedly pressing Five Eyes intelligence network allies (同盟国) to avoid the company. Australia and Canada were the first countries to ban Huawei from a building of 5G networks.
The company has repeatedly denied accusations.
New Zealand’s top politicians have repeatedly denied the GCSD decision was influenced by other Western powers and say it’s about the particular technology being suggested, not China. They have also denied suggestions New Zealand’s diploma tic ties with China have been tense over the decision, with the official promotion of a major China—New Zealand tourism project now postponed.
24. Why did Huawei make the ad?
A. To ask New Zealanders for advice.
B. To tell New Zealanders how powerful it is.
C. To get support from the public in New Zealand.
D. To argue with the government of New Zealand.
25. What will happen if New Zealanders force Huawei out?
A. They will be blamed by Chinese.
B. They will be tricked by Americans.
C. They will lose a chance of being stronger.
D. They will miss advanced technology and pay more.
26. Why does GCSD refuse to state the risks clearly?
A. They are secret.
B. They are imaginary.
C. They are difficult to decide.
D. They are beyond description.
27. Which country plays the key role in the campaign against Huawei?
A. Australia.
B. USA.
C. New Zealand.
D. Canada. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

华为在新西兰推出广告宣传：没有华为的5G就像没有新西兰的橄榄球。

【24题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第一段第一句话Huawei has started a rugby-themed media campaign in a b id to win over New Zealand’s public after the country’s security agency blocked the Chinese technology giant’s equipment from being used in a nationwide Internet network.可知华为已经展开了以橄榄球为基调的媒体宣传活动，试图在新西兰安全机构禁止在5G网中使用华为的设备后赢得该国公众的支持。

可知华为制作这份广告是为了取得新西兰公众的支持，故选C。

【25题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第三段第一句话Huawei’s newspaper ad goes on to argue the decision would mean less advanced technology and higher prices for New Zealand customers.可知华为的报纸广告争辩说这个决定意味着新西兰用户将无法享受最先进的技术和支付更高的价格。

即如果新西兰人强迫华为退出，他们会错失先进的技术，付出更多的金钱。

故选D。

【26题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第二段第三、四句In November, New Zealand’s Government Communications Security Department (GCSD) told Spark it couldn’t use equipment from Huawei-the worlds largest telecommunication equipment company—in the building of its 5G network because an unspecific “significant network security risk was identified”. Spark is now in the process of seeing if it can make changes to prevent those risks, although GCSD has declined to publicly say how that would happen.（去年11月，新西
兰的政府通信安全局(GCSD)通知电信公司Spark不能在其推出的5G网中使用来自华
为的设备，因为“发现了严重的网络安全风险”。

现在Spark正在检讨是否能够采取措施阻止这些风险，尽管当局拒绝公开透露将会发生什么。

）及第三段第二句The ads come after the company last month publicly offered to only use New Zealand, rather than Chinese, staff to build the network—in a bid to ease fears—and called for an urgent meeting with the government, denying (否认) there had been any wrongdoing.（此前华为公开提出可以只使用新西兰籍员工而不是中国员工来建设这个网路来缓和担忧，呼吁跟政府紧急会面，并否认有任何不当的做法。

）可知根据以上可以推断，当局所谓的风险是“无中生有”的。

所以选项B正确。

【27题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第四段第一句话后半部分with the United States reportedly pressing Five Eyes intelligence network allies (同盟国) to avoid the company.可知据报道美国给五眼情报网的盟国施压，要求它们避免采用华为的设备。

根据以上推断，美国出于政治动机打压华为最为积极。

故选B。

C
Pinewood Studios is located (位于) about twenty miles west of central London and named after the pinetrees in the grounds. Pinewood has been at the heart of both British and international film production. The house, Heatherden Hall, was bought by Charles Boot in 1934, and he and J. Arthur Rank became partners in the project to build the studios. Pinewood proved pioneering in its use of the “unit system” that al lowed more than one film to be made at a time,and this enabled Pinewood to achieve the highest output of all the studios in the world. The first film to be completed at Pinewood was Talk of the Devil (1936, Reed) while the immediate postwar period saw six major productions including the praised Oliver Twist ( 1948 , Lean ) and The Red Shoes ( 1948 , Powell and Press-burger).
The 1950s saw countless productions including the Doctor series and
medical comedy, which were the fathers to the Carry On films: the series started with Doctor in the House (1954,Thomas) and led to a further six films. Other notable films of the 1950s age include The Prince and the Showgirl ( 1957 Olivier ) starring Marilyn Monroe, Carve Her Name with Pride (1958 , Gilbert), North West Frontier (1959 Thompson) and The Thirty-Nine Steps (1959, Thomas). The Thirty-Nine Steps was a reworking of John Buchan’s novel originally filmed by Hitchcock in 1935. Because of its new ideas and skills, American production companies crowded to Pinewood and a major reinvestment (再投资) was required. During the 1960s,four new stages were built to accommodate every aspect of film and television production. This period also saw the start of the association between Pinewood and the James Bond series, which started in 1962 with Dr No (Young). The studios have continued to produce imaginative and technically challenging material such as Superman (1978,Donner), Superman Ⅱ (1980,Lester),Superman Ⅲ (1983, Lester), Superman Ⅳ: The Quest for Peace (1987, Furie),and Batman (1989,Burton).
28. How long is the history of Pinewood Studios’ first film?
A. About 60 years.
B. About 70 years.
C. More than 80 years.
D. More than 100 years.
29. What made Pinewood Studios produce most?
A. Its famous actors and actresses.
B. Putting the unit system into use.
C. Its proper location and translation.
D. The serious attitude of its leaders
30. Which film was completed during the early postwar period?
A. The Red Shoes.
B. The Quest for Peace.
C. The Thirty-Nine Steps.
D. The Prince and the Showgirl.
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The ups and downs of Pinewood Studios.
B. The best films made by Pinewood Studios.
C. The location and characters of pinewood Studios.
D. The history and achievements of Pinewood Studios.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. D

A new Magic Bench designed by Disney Research lets you interact (互动) with lovely animated (动画的) character—and no special glasses or earphones are required. Instead, the complete environment-the seat, the sitter and the cartoon characters-is mirrored on a screen opposite the bench making it possible for others to watch the scene unfold.
How does the illusion work? A camera and sensor catch images and gather depth information about physical objects the bench and the person. And then computer translates them into the 3D animations. Meanwhile sensors of touch built into the bench deliver shaking that is happening at the same time and speed to animated actions on the screen, creating the illusion that the animated figures are occupying real-world space next to the user.
“Our goal for this project w as: hear a character coming, see them enter the space, and feel them sit next to you,” said Moshe Mahler, principal digital artist at Disney Research. Unlike the traditional mobile technology, one of whose limitations is that only a single user can see its illusion, the Magic Bench allows groups of people to gather in a single environment and collectively participate in an augmented—reality (扩充实境) experience, all at the same time.
In a video show, a small cartoon donkey runs into view and kicks the bench, causing sharp sound and making the seated person jump in surprise. Another test shows two people on the bench, reacting as they feel an animated rabbit skip up beside them and jump up and down. When a user passes his hand over the rabbit, a shadow moves across its head, as though it were occupying the same physical space as the person next to it.
32. What does the Magic Bench need to work properly?
A. Special glasses.
B. Earphones.
C. A mirror.
D. A screen.
33. What does the underlined word “illusion” in Par agraph 2 refer to?
A. The shaking that is happening.
B. The 3d animations on the screen.
C. The figures about physical objects.
D. The interaction with animated figures.
34. What’s the Magic Bench different from the traditional technology?
A. Its fantasy can be seen only by a single user.
B. It is designed to create more animated characters.
C. It allows many people to experience the fantasy together.
D. Its user and the animated character occupy the same space. 35. Which is the best title of the text? A. Magic Bench Puts You in the Picture B. Audience Become Cartoon Characters C. Entertainment Industry Enters a New Stage D. Disney’s Cartoon Figures Come into Reality【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】这是一篇说明文。

迪斯尼公司设计出了一种新的“魔法椅”。

使用特殊眼镜或耳机，在观看影视作品时，画面可以与人互动。

【32题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第一段最后一句Instead, the complete environment-the seat, the sitter and the cartoon characters-is mirrored on a screen opposite the bench making it possible for others to watch the scene unfold.可知the Magic Bench需要一块屏幕才能正常发挥作用，故选D。

【33题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据下文 A camera and sensor catch images and gather depth information about physical objects the bench and the person. Meanwhile sensors of touch built into the bench deliver shaking that is happening at
the same time and speed to animated actions on the screen, creating the illusion that the animated figures are occupying real-world space next to the user.可知摄像机和传感器捕捉图像，收集关于椅子及人的深度信息。

然后由电脑把它们转换成3D动画。

与此同时，内置在椅子里的触摸传感器可以将震动同时传送到屏幕上，从而产生动画人物占据用户旁边真实空间的错觉。

故可知划线部分单词意思为“与动画人物的互动；错觉”故选D。

【34题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第三段最后一句话Unlike the traditional mobile technology, one of whose limitations is that only a single user can see its illusion, the Magic Bench allows groups of people to gather in a single environment and collectively participate in an augmented—reality (扩充实境) experience, all at the same time.可知传统的移动技术有局限性，其中之一就是只有一个用户可以看到它的错觉，Magic Bench允许一群人聚集在一个环境中，并在同一时间内集体参与增强现实体验。

即Magic Bench与传统技术不同在于它能让许多人一起体验幻想。

故选C。

a century of history.
Unfortunately, movies are not made to last. ___37___ Already the losses are high. Only 20% of US feature films from the 1910s to 1920s survive. Of the American features produced before 1950, about half exist. For independently produced works, we have no way of knowing how much has been lost.

The Movie Preservation Guide is designed for these organizations. ___38___ These institutions have collections of moving pictures but lack information about how to take care of them. The guide contains basic facts for “beginners”—professionals trained in history but unschooled in this technical area.
The guide grew from user workshops at Duke University. At the sessions, beginners talked with technical experts about what they needed to know to preserve and make available their movie collections. ___39___ Following the advice, the guide describes methods for handling and storing moving pictures that are practical for research institutions with limited resources. ___40___ The guide has been translated into Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
