题目内容

 Many people have seen Harry Potter and The Halfblood Prince since it came out last July. And just like the readers of the Harry Potter books,the theater audience have included children,teenagers,and adults.

  The Halfblood Prince is the sixth Harry Potter movie,and is based on the sixth in the se?ries of seven books written by the author J. K. Rowling. The story of the final book,The Deathly Hallows,is going to be told in not one but two movies,which will come out in 2010 and 2011.

  In some ways,The Halfblood Prince is just like the other stories:Harry is again the hero fighting against the forces of evil,a lot of the action takes place at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,and there are familiar things such as the game of Quidditch (sort of like soccer,although it is played in the sky and the players ride on broomsticks) .

  One of the differences with this movie is that we see less of the evil wizard Lord Voldemort,but there is still a lot of evil in the story―in fact,most movie critics say The Halfblood Prince feels "darker" than the other movies because you can feel the presence of Voldemort most of the time.

  This is certainly true at the beginning of the movie,when there is an attack on London by Voldemort's followers,the "Death Eaters". Like a few other things in the movie,this was not in the book of The Halfblood Prince,and might therefore be a surprise for many Harry Potter fans.

  Another difference is that the movie spends more time looking at the relationships between the students at Hogwarts. Harry,Ron,Hermione,and the others are now teenagers rather than children―there is even a little romance in the story.

  Daniel Radcliffe,19, Harry Potter in the movie,said he will be "very sad" when the series movies end,but also excited because he will be able to play different roles.

(   ) 1. We can learn from the passage that         .

   A. the focus of the final movie is to be " romance"

   B. Daniel will play different roles in the final movie

   C. There will be eight Harry Potter series of movies in all

   D. J. K. Rowling wrote about an attack on London in the sixth book

(   ) 2. The passage is mainly about         .

   A. the popularity of J. K. Rowling

   B. The Deathly Hallows,the final book

   C. the sixth movie of Harry Potter series

   D. the differences between the sixth movie and the final one

(   ) 3. "The Death Eaters" in Paragraph 5 are         .

   A. part of the evil side   B. heroes against Voldemort's followers

   C. Harry Potter's fans   D. new friends in the Hogwarts School

(   ) 4. What mainly makes the sixth movie of the series different from the others?

   A. The main characters have grown up.

   B. The game of Quidditch can't be seen in it.

   C. The less presence of Voldemort makes viewers feel easier.

   D. Harry Potter develops a friendship with Ron and Hermione.

A篇:本文主要介绍了哈利波特电影第六部' 与其他几部的不同之处。

1. c细节理解题。由第二段"rte ft#-Bfood Prince is the sixth Harry Potter movie,and is based on the sixth in the series of seven books written by the author J. K. Rowling. The story of the final book,The Deathly Hallows,is going to be told in not one but two movies"可知C为正确答案。文中讲到第六部电影中有"爱情"内容,不是最后一部电影,A不正确。文章最后一句话"but also excited because he will be able to play different roles"并非说他在最后一部电影中扮演不同角色,B不正确。文中第五段讲到"袭击伦敦"这一情节在小说中没有,因此D不正确。

2. C主旨大意题。通篇介绍的是第六部电影的不同之处,因此,正确答案为 C.

3. A词义猜测题。从文章第五段的介绍"Voldemort's followers,the ' Death Eaters '" 可以看出Death Eaters是伏地魔的追随者,而并非与伏地魔战斗的英雄。

4. A细节理解题。文章的第六段谈到这部电影与其他几部不同之处在于更多的篇幅放在几个主要人物成长后的情感关系上。由第三段"and there are familiar things such as the game of Quidditch"可知答案B不正确。由第四段"The Half-Blood Prince feels i darker' than the other movies because you can feel the presence of Voldemort most of the time."可知答案C不正确。主要人物之间发展友谊并不是这部电影的不同之处,在前面的几部电影中已有相关内容,因此D不正确。

 Tall people live happier lives than their more vertically challenged peers,according to a new study. It is 1        that most miserable men are almost an inch shorter than average.

  Researchers found that shorter people tended to be more 2        with their lot in life.

  The study interviewed more than 450,000 adults about 3        they viewed their life.

  The volunteers were asked to 4        themselves somewhere on a " life ladder" and asked about their emotions.

  5       the findings,people who were taller were also more likely to be 6        about their life and were more likely to judge themselves as happy. They were also 7        likely to feel a range of 8       emotions including sadness and physical pain,9       they were more likely to experience stress and anger,and 10       they were women,to worry.

  Men who reported that their lives were the " worst possible" were in general more than eight tenths of an inch,or two centimeters,11       than the average height.

  Women who 12        themselves as " on the bottom step" on the life ladder were shorter than the average woman 13        half all inch,or 1. 3 centimeters.

  17      ,there was no such clear link when it came to 18       ,with just small differences in height.

Cohan,illustrated by Warren Kimble Walker,23 pp., $16. 95 (ages 5〜8) Who remembers George M. Cohan's 1906 musical,George Washington Jr.?

  The Longest Season By Cal Ripken Jr.,illustrated by Ron Mazellan Philomel,32 pp., $16. 99 (ages 6 and up) By playing in 2,632 continous majorleague baseball games,Cal Ripken Jr. gave new meaning to the concept of showing up. But his book deals with the low point of his career,in 1988,when the Baltimore Orioles set another kind of record by losing their first 21 games. His teammates included his younger brother Bill. Their manager was Cal Ripken Sr.,who was fired after six losses. The book is dramatically illustrated,but Ripken was a far better ballplayer than writer. He explores one of sports' most neglected (疏忽) topics―what you learn by losing―but stays safely within lockerroom cliches (陈词滥调) .Still,it should prompt discussions―about winning and losing.
