When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul—he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other—but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core （核心）of our relationship off the screen. We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back—he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are se riously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ag o. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.24. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?A. Paul Newman wanted it.B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent.C. He wasn’t famous enough.D. The director recommended someone else.25. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A. They were of the same age.B. They worked in the same theater.C. They were both good actors.D.

What is the a uthor’s purpose in writing the test?A. To show his love of films.B. To remember a frienD.C. To introduce a new movie.D. To share his acting experience.CTerrafugia Inc .said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The wehicle-named the Transition –has two seats wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffi C. The car needs a runway.Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those forpilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The basic data of the Transition.B. The advantages of flying cars.C. The potential market for flying cars. C. The designers of the Transition.29. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?A. It causes traffic jams.B. It is difficult to operate.C. It is very expensive.D. It bums too much fuel.30. What is the govern ment’s attitude to the development of the flying car?A. CautiousB. Favorable.C. Ambiguous.D. Disapproving.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Flying Car at Auto ShowB. The Transition’s Fist FlightC. Pilots’ Dream Coming TrueD. Flying Car Closer to RealityDWhen a leafy plant is under attack ，it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out. But is anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbors react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned .The attacker who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turneD. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .Thedamage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors , relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant j ust made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talkin g to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was excha nged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.32. What does a plant do when it is under attack?A. It makes noises.B. It gets help from other plants.C. It stands quietlyD. It sends out certain chemicals.33. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?A. The attackers get attackeD.B. The insects gather under the table.C. The plants get ready to fight back.D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.34. Scientists find from their studies that plants can .A. predict natural disastersB. protect themselves against insectsC. talk to one another intentionallyD. help their neighbors when necessary35. what can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The word is changing faster than ever.B. People have stronger senses than beforeC. The world is more complex than it seemsD. People in Darwin’s time were imaginative.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

青花瓷发展的黄金时代是明朝永乐、宣德时期，与郑和下西洋在时间上重合，这不能不使我们思考：航海与瓷器同时达到鼎盛，仅仅是历史的偶然吗？从历史事实来看，郑和下西洋为青花瓷的迅速崛起提供了历史契机。
近三十年的航海历程推动了作为商品的青花瓷大量生产与外销，不仅促进技术创新，使青花瓷达到瓷器新工艺的顶峰，而且改变了中国瓷器发展的走向，带来了人们审美观念的更新。
这也就意味着，如果没有郑和远航带来活跃的对外贸易，青花瓷也许会像在元代一样，只是中国瓷器的诸多品种之一，而不会成为主流，更不会成为中国瓷器的代表。
由此可见，青花瓷崛起是郑和航海时代技术创新与文化交融的硕果，中外交往的繁盛在推动文明大交融的同时，也推动了生产技术与文化艺术的创新发展。
作为中外文明交融的结晶，青花瓷真正成为中国瓷器的主流，则是因为成化年间原料本土化带来了民窑青花瓷的崛起。
民窑遍地开花，进入商业化模式之后，几乎形成了青花瓷一统天下的局面。
一种海外流行的时尚由此成为中国本土的时尚，中国传统的人物、花鸟、山水，与外来的伊斯兰风格融为一体，青花瓷成为中国瓷器的代表，进而走向世界，最终万里同风，成为世界时尚。
一般来说，一个时代有一个时代的文化，而时尚兴盛则是社会快速变化的标志。

Let me explain a little about it.As you may know already, it's a required meeting once a week.I expect you to do all the experiments and keep the results in your lab notebook.I'll collect the notebooks every two weeks.You'll be graded on lab notebooks and quizzes.But the most important information I want to give you now is about safety.First of all, you must wear shoes that cover your feet in the lab.Tennis shoes are OK. Also, don't wear loose clothes, long scarves, big necklaces, or loose belts —they get caught in something or fall into liquid.Another thing to do for safety is cleaning up.Be sure to put the waste in the correct containers.We can't mix liquid with paper. This is extremely important.I don't want any fires in this room.You are responsible for washing out your own lab equipment and putting it away.If you don't do this, I will take away points from your grade.Nobody's going to clean up after you. OK, any questions?。

I don ' t know how many peoplewould have done that; they would have liste ned to their age nts or the studio powers.The frien dship that grew out of the experie nee of making that film and The Sti ng four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age differenee, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft （技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other - but always with an un derly ing affecti on. Those were also at the core （核心）of our relati on ship off the scree n.We shared the brief that if you te erwoungtiitiahave success, you should put somethingback - he with his Newman ' s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival.

The vehicle-named the Tran siti on —has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be drive n like a car. TheTran siti on, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minu tes last mon th, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallo n tank of gas and bums 5 gall ons per hour in the air. On the groun d, it gets 35 miles per gall on.Around 100 people have already put dow n a $10, 000 deposit to get a Tran siti on whe n they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don ' t expect it to show up in too many drivewaysIt ' s expected to cost $279, 000. And it won ' t help if you ' re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runw Inven tors have bee n tryi ng to make flyi ng cars si nce the 1930s, accord ing to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety sta ndards.Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration ' s decision five yea ago to create a separate set of sta ndards for light sport aircraft, which are lower tha n those pilots of larger planes Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The basic data of the Tran siti on.B. The adva ntages of flying cars.C. The pote ntial market for flying cars. C. The desig ners of the Tran siti on.29. Why is the Transition uniikely to show up in too many driveways?A. It causes traffic jams.B. It is difficult to operate.C. It is very expe nsive.D. It bums too much fuel.30. What is the government ' s attitude to the development of the flying car?A. CautiousB. Favorable.C. Ambiguous.D. Disapprovi ng.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Flying Car at Auto ShowB. The Transition ' s Fist FlightC. Pilots ' Dream Comi ng TrueD. Flyi ng Car Closer to RealityDWhen a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldw in, reported that young maple trees gett ing bitte n by in sects send out aparticular smell that n eighbori ng pla nts can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile orga nic compo un ds,VOCs for short.Scien tists have found that all kinds of pla nts give out VOCs whe n being attacked. It ' way of crying out. But is anyone liste ning? Appare ntly. Because we can watch the n eighbours react.Some pla nts pump out smelly chemicals to keep in sects away. But others do double duty. They pump out perfumes desig ned to attract differe nt in sects who are n atural en emies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.In study after study, it appears that these chemical con versati ons help the n eighbors. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don ' t know. Maybe the first plant jus made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own bran ches, and so, in effect, was talk ing to itself.
