There is just one large lot left to build on,and the theater would use up all of that space.Some people are excited at the idea of finally having our own movie theater.Others would rather travel ten miles to the nearest theater to keep our quiet town the way it is.They say it is enough to have Marvin’s Movie Video Rentals.After all,Marvin’s store keeps thousands of the latest videos.There are certainly benefits to renting videos.For one thing,you can plan your own schedule when it is convenient for you.You can relax on your sofa,and take a break whenever you need one.You can also talk to others without bothering any strangers seated nearby.In additional,it is a less expensive way to view a movie compared to going to a theater.On the other hand,seeing a movie in a theater is an experience all its own.First,you can see the movie on wide screen as the filmmaker intended.To be viewed on a television screen,a film must be changed in some way to make it smaller.One is the “pan-and-s can” method,which involves removing some of the details in the picture.The other way,called “letterboxing”,keeps the image the way it is on the big screen,with one annoying exception; because the big-screen version is wide,the same picture on a television screen must be long and narrow.Another problem is sound.The sound from a television cannot compare to the sound system in a theater.Your experience of a movie improves when you can clearly hear all of the sounds.Furthermore,at home,viewing companions often talk during a movie,which makes you miss out on what’s happening in the film.Besides,having a movie theater will not mean that you can’t still go to Marvin’s! You will just have a choice that you didn’t have before.Isn’t it time for Havenswood residents to enjoy a little progress?28.The underlined word “lot” in Paragraph 1 means “__________”.A.a great numberB.a complete groupC.an area of landD.a result of chance29.How does the author mainly state his point?A.By using examples.B.By making a comparison.C.By carrying out a surveyD.By presenting different people’s view.30.Why do some people think it is enough to have Marvin’s Movie Video Rentals?A.Marvin’s store stocks lots of recent videos.B.It’ very convenient to go to Marvin’s store.C.the owner of the store is friendly and helpful.D.It is more comfortable to see films at home than in the theater.31.What is the author’s attitude towards building a new cinema?A.Cautious.B.Approving.C.Doubtful.D.Worried.DStaying positive through the cold season could be your best defense against getting ill,a new American study suggests.In an experiment that exposed healthy volunteers to a cold or flu virus,researchers found that people with a generally sunny character were less likely to fail ill.The findings,published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, build on evidence that a “positive emotional style” can help ward off the common cold and other illness.Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective―as in happiness improving immune function―and subjective―as in happy people being less troubled by a sore throat or runny nose.“People with a positive emotional style may have different immune responses to the virus,” explained lead study author Dr Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.“And when they do get a cold,they may interpret their illness as being less severe.”Cohen and his colleagues has found in a previous study that happier people seemed less likely to catch a cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional quality itself had the effect.For the new study,the researchers had 193 healthy adults complete standard measures of personality qualities, physicals health,and emotional “style”.Those who tended to be happy,energetic and easy –going were judged as having a positive emotional style,while those who were often unhappy,tense,and hostile had a negative style.Afterwards,the researchers gave them nose drops containing either a cold virus or a particular flu virus.Over the next six days,the volunteers reported on any aches,pains,sneezing they had,while the researchers collected objective data.Cohen and his colleagues found that happy people were less likely to develop a cold.What’s more,when happy folks did develop a cold,their symptoms were less severe than expected based on objective measures.On the contrary,people with negative characters were not at increased risk of developing a cold based onobjective measures,though they did tend to get down about their symptoms.“We find that it’s really positive emotions that have the big effect,” Cohen said,“not the negative ones.”So can a bad-tempered person fight a cold by deciding to be happy?32.The purpose of Cohen’s new study was to.A.find effective ways to fight illnessesB.test peopl e’s different immune responses to cold virusC.tell differences between happy people and unhappy peopleD.examine whether health was related to emotional styles33.The underlined phrase “ward-off” in Paragraph 2 means “”.A.get close toB.keep way fromC.get used toD.go on with34.How did Cohen reach his conclusion?A.By comparing the experimental results of different groups.B.By asking the volunteers to complete a form.C.By collecting data among people with a cold.D.By observing the voluntee rs’ symptoms.35.Cohen’s new study showed that.A.an emotional style is difficult to changeB.happy people are immune to cold virusC.people attitudes towards illnesses are differentD.happiness itself helps protect people from cold第二节（15小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。
