17.People fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944,when she starred in National Velvet-the story of Velvet Brown,a young girl who wins first place in a famous horse race.At first,the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet.However,they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trained-and added three inches to her height in four months!Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best by a child actress.
Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932.Her parents,both Americans,had moved there for business reasons.When World War II started,theTaylors moved to Beverly Hills,California,and there Elizabeth started acting in movies.After her success as a child star,Taylor had no trouble moving into adult roles and won twice for Best Actress:Butterfield 8(1960)and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?(1966)Taylor'sfame(名声)andpopularitygaveheralotofpowerwiththemovieindustry,soshewasabletodemandveryhighpayforhermovies.In1963,shereceived1million for her part in Cleopatra-the highest pay received by any star up to that time.
Elizabeth Taylor is a legend of our time.Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet,she has been lucky:she has beauty,fame and wealth.But she is also a hard worker.Taylor seldom acts in movies any more.Instead,she puts her time and efforts into her businesses,and into helping others-several years ago,she founded an organization that has raised more than $40million for research and education.

33.The producers didn't let Taylor play the part of Velvet at first because they thought sheC.
A.did not play well enough                 
B.was too young
C.was small in size                          
D.did not show much interest
34.Taylor became Best Actress at the age ofB.
A.12               
B.28               
C.31               
D.34
35.The underlined word"legend"meansB.
A.a story which is popular in the world
B.a famous person who is successful and respected by other people
C.a famous actress who doesn't like acting
D.a rich and kind-hearted person who made money all her life.
14.As the saying goes,"Change is not always for the better".Take social interaction,for example!We now live in an era in which many teenagers spend hours locked away in their bedrooms shooting virtual soldiers and hitting zombies over the head with digital baseball bats,while others sit home alone,chatting with friends,not in person,but through social networks.Teachers,politicians and parents have genuine reasons to argue that young people like this are in danger of losing the ability to connect with one another,to develop genuine relationships and to separate the fictional world of the Xbox or the Play Station from the real world.
Others worry about the increasing breakdown of the family unit within the UK and link that to the increase of youth crime and antisocial behavior,or the problems that some young people have with drugs or alcohol.These issues are particularly common in areas of poverty and,in the light of the economic crisis,are unlikely to improve.Indeed,the gap between rich and poor in the UK could well increase,as unemployment figures rise and the cost of higher education increases.
But being a teenager in the 21st century is not all doom and gloom,Young people in the UK today can enjoy living in a far more multicultural,integrated society in which opportunities are more equal and which is increasingly environmentally aware.They benefit from better child protection policies,a wider range of educational activities and clearer guidance on leading healthy lifestyles.
And as they grow up,this generation will benefit from huge technological inventions which will have an impact on almost every aspect of their lives,from entertainment to transport.They will see medical advances which could put an end to diseases like malaria and rid the world of AIDS.They will live longer,work smarter and they will even have a greater understanding of nature and the universe.

33.What does the author think about life in the 21st century?B
A.Life is going to get duller and simpler in the 21st century.
B.There is both good and bad in life in the 21st century.
C.Life will be easier because nobody will be out of employment.
D.People will be healthier because there will be no diseases in the 21st century.
34.According to the passage which of the following statements is true?A
A.The union of a family unit plays an important role in a harmonious society.
B.Family problems cause young children to lock themselves in their bedrooms.
C.Strict families have introduced better child protection policies.
D.All children in breakdown families tend to be aggressive.
35.In the passage,parents fear thatA.
A.their children might be lost in their digital world
B.their children will be in danger in the 21st century
C.their possible divorce may lead their children to crime and antisocial behavior
D.their children may develop genuine relationships with other people.
1.Television has turned 88 years old on September 7,2015,and it has never looked better.In its youth,television was a piece of furniture with a tiny,round screen showing unclear pictures of low budget programs.In spite of its shortcomings,it became well-received.Between 1950 and 1963,the number of American families with a television jumped from 9% to 92% of the population.
As the audience got larger,the technology got better.Television sets became more reliable through the 1960s.Both of the reception and the picture improved.The major networks started broadcasting programs in color.
Even greater improvements were coming according to Sanford Brown,who wrote an article for the Post in 1967.Surprisingly,just about every prediction he made in the article became a reality.For example:All sets in the not distant future will be color instruments.He also predicted that TV sets would become smaller,simpler,more reliable and less expensive and may forever put the TV repairman out of work.Smaller sets do not,of course,mean smaller screens.TV engineers expect screens to get much bigger.However,today's 3D TV is even farther away,if it's coming at all.There is some doubt whether the public would be eager to pay for it,in view of people's cold reception given to 3D movies.
But the technology with the greatest potential,according to Brown,was cable television (有线电视),which was still in its early stages then.As he predicted,the future of cable television was highly interactive.It wasn't cable television that gave Americans their electronic connection to the world,however.It was the Internet.He even foresaw the future office:using picture phones,big screen televisions for conferences,and computers providing information,at the touch of a button.
Brown ever said,"The future of television is no longer a question of what we can invent.It's a question of what we want."

29.What can we infer about television sets in the 1960s?A
A.They were very popular with Americans.
B.The reception showed no improvement
C.They showed black-and-white pictures
D.They were out of order now and then
30.Which of the followings did Sanford Brown fail to predict?B
A.Television's good quality.
B.The invention of 3-D TV.
C.The future office's model
D.The potential of cable TV.
31.What is the text mainly about?C
A.The shortcomings of television.
B.The bright future of television.
C.The development of television.
D.The invention of television.
