Years later，during her final illness，Mother （45）C various items for my sister and brother．"But the desk，"she'd repeat，"is for Elizabeth．"I sensed Mother communicating with this gift，a communication I'd craved（渴望） for 50years．
My mother was（46）A in the Victorian belief that emotions were（47）D．I never saw her angry，never saw her cry．I knew she loved me；she expressed it in （48）B．But as a teenager I （49）D heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter．They never happened．And a gulf（鸿沟） opened between us．
As （50）C  passed and I raised my own family，I began to understand her．Forgive me，I wrote，for having been critical．In（51）A words，I asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me．
I mailed the letter and waited （52）B for her reply．None came．Eagerness turned to disappointment，then acceptance and，finally，（53）C．I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother．I only knew that I had written it．I could stop trying to make her into（54）A she was not．For the last 15years of her life we enjoyed a relationship on her   light，caring，cheerful．
Now the（55）B of her desk told me，as she'd never been able to，that she was pleased that （56）D was my chosen work．
The desk stayed in our attic （阁楼） for nearly a year before we turned a bedroom into a study．（57）Bat last I brought the desk down，it was dusty from months of storage．（58）A，I polished the drawers．Pulling out the secret compartment，I found papers inside．And a one-page letter，（59）C and  refolded many times．
Send me a reply，my letter asks，in any way you choose．Mother，you（60）D chose the act that speaks louder than words．

For a short film，less than four minutes，before the main attraction you think you've come for，you are going to love this free extra．I stood there with my mouth wide open at the end as many others did．It's fantastic!The effects are the Hollywood standard as no expense is spared．I was lucky enough to try the film three times on the first day and I still want to go back again．

16．It is widely known that any English conversation begins with The Weather．Such a fixation with the we ather finds expression in Dr．Johnson's famous comment that"When two English meet，their first talk is of weather．"Though Johnson's observation is as accurate now as it was over two hundred years ago，most commentators fail to come up with a convincing explanation for this English weather-speak．
   Bill Bryson，for example，concludes that，as the English weather is not at all exciting，the obsession with it can hardly be understood．He argues that"To an outsider，the most striking thing about the English weather is that there is not very much of it．"Simply，the reason is that the unusual and unpredictable weather is almost unknown in the British Isles．
  Jeremy Paxman，however，disagrees with Bryson，arguing that the English weather is by nature attractive．Bryson is wrong，he says，because the English preference for the weather has nothing to do with the natural phenomena．"The interest is less in the phenomena themselves，but in uncertainty．"According to him，the weather in England is very changeable and uncertain and it attracts the En glish as well as the outsider．
  Bryson and Paxman stand for common misconceptions about the weather-speak among the English．Both commentators，somehow，are missing the point．The English weather conversation is not really about the weather at all．English weather-speak is a system of signs，which is developed to help the speakers overcome the natural reserve and actually talk to each other．Everyone knows conversations starting with weather-speak are not requests for weather data．Rather，they are routine greetings，conversation starters or the blank"fillers"．In other words，English weather-speak is a means of social bonding．
32．The author mentions Dr．Johnson's comment to show thatD．
A．most commentators agree with Dr．Johnson
B．Dr．Johnson is famous for his weather observation
C．the comment was accurate two hundred years ago
D．English conversations usually start with the weather
33．What does the underlined word"obsession"most probably refer to？B
A．A social trend．
B．An emoti onal state．
C．A historical concept．
D．An unknown phenomenon．
34．According to the passage，Jeremy Paxman believes thatD．
A．Bill Bryson has little knowledge of the weather
B．there is nothing special about the English weather
C．the English weather attracts people to the British Isles
D．English people talk about the weather for its uncertainty
35．What is the author's main purpose of writing the passage？A
A．To explain what English weather-speak is about．
B．To analyze misconceptions about the English weather．
C．To find fault with both Bill Bryson and Jeremy Paxman．
D．To convince people that the English weather is changeable．
2．Scriptwriters love to complain．They are disrespected by producers，regarded dispensable （可有可无的） by directors，not duly credited by critics，treated like employees by actors-although few complain about being historically and chronically overpaid．Another thing they don't complain about is"the exhaustion of narrative"，though it weighs very much on their minds．For scriptwriters to complain about the insufficiency of original ideas would be like a salesman complaining about a lack of inventory．It's not good for business．
Writers have always known there are a limited number of storylines．And it is increasingly difficult to get out in front of a viewer's expectations．Almost every possible subject has not only been covered but covered exhaustively．How many hours of serial killer plot has the average viewer seen？Fifty？A hundred？This becomes painfully clear to any writer who attempts to orally tell his story （scriptwriter is closer to the oral tradition than it is to literature）．Originality has always been in short supply．Does the proliferation （泛滥） of media mean that it is harder to be original today than it was 50years ago？Well，yea．Today's viewers live in a biosphere of narrative．Twenty-four-seven，multimedia，all the time．When a storyteller competes for a viewer's attention，he not only competes with simultaneously occurring narratives，he competes with the variations of his own narrative．That's real competition．This exhaustion of narrative is behind the rise of recent"counter-narrative"entertainments，such as：
1．Reality TV．Any regular viewer knows that reality television follows its own scripted formulas，but the appearance of being unscripted is essential to its appeal．Weary of so much predicable plot，the jaded viewer turns to reality．
2．Anecdotal narrative．The attraction of films such as Slacker and its mumblecore progeny （呢喃类） is the enjoyment of watching behavior impeded by the artifice of plot．It is not"fake"，not"designed"（although of course it is）．
3．Reenactment drama．Whether based on famous events or lesser-known ones，reenactment entertainment sells the premise that these events actually happened and were not cooked up by a staff of writers （though，again，if not actually cooked up，they were seasoned and served by writers）．
4．Video games．The ability of the viewer to participate in the storytelling process creates an illusion of non-plan．
5．Mini-mini drama．Part of the appeal of three-to five-minute stories created for cellphones，YouTube and original programming is the illusion of not being crafted narratives．Just bits of life．
6．Documentaries．A staple of filmed entertainment since its beginnings，documentaries，historically the poor cousins of commercial cinema，have grown in number and viewership，an increase owed in part to the desire of viewers to look beyond predictable narratives．
Storytelling began as ceremony and evolved into ritual．It was commercialized in the medieval times，became big business in the 19th century and international industry in the 20th．The traditional concept of movies，a projected image in a dark room of viewers，feels increasingly old．Narrative will mutate （变异） and endure．Audio-visual entertainment is changing and narrative will change with it．
74．According to the author，scriptwriters seldom complain of havingB．
A．been looked down upon by producers
B．suffered the exhaustion of narrative
C．been considered unimportant by directors
D．been badly treated by actors and actresses
75．In which of the following entertainment forms can the viewers take part in its narrative process？B
A．Reenactment
B．Video games
C．Mini-mini drama
D．Documentaries．
76．Which of the following statements is TRUE to the fact？A
A．Narrative became commercialized in the middle age．
B．Storytelling became commercialized after the Middle Ages．
C．Narrative became a worldwide industry in the 19th century．
D．Storytelling grew into large business in the 20th century．
77．Which of the following statements is NOT in agreement with the author's ideas？C
A．Scriptwriting is nearer to the oral tradition than it is to literature．
B．Narrative exhaustion is responsible for the rise of anti-narrative entertainment．
C．It is less difficult to be original today than it was half a century ago．
D．The appearance of being unscripted is important to the appeal of Reality TV．
9．The television news feature about Ben Heckmann，an eighth grader from Farmington，Minn was breathless in its praise．"At 14，he has accomplished something many adults can't achieve，"the reporter said．"Ben is a twice-published author．"But Ben's two"Velvet Black"books，describing a fictional rock band，were not picked from a pile of manuscripts（手稿） by an eagle eyed publisher．They were self-published，at a cost of﹩400 by  Ben's parents．
Over the past five years，print-on-demand technology and a growing number of self?publishing companies whose books can be sold online have inspired writers of all ages to avoid the traditional gatekeeping system for determining who could call himself a"published author．"
The mothers and fathers who foot the bill say they are simply trying to encourage their children，in the same way that other parents buy equipment for a promising baseball player．But others see self-publishing as a lost opportunity to teach children about hardship and perseverance．Mr Robbins，a critic，thinks it is wonderful to start writing at a young age，but worries self-publishing sends the wrong message．"There are no prodigies（神童） in literature，"he said．"Literature requires experience，in a way that mathematics and music do not．"Alan Rinzler，a publishing industry veteran，suggested parents hire a professional editor like him to work with their child to tear a manuscript apart and help make it better．
Ben's father，Ken，said Ben's ambitions"weren't to knock Harry Potter off the list，"but"to get that good feeling inside that you've done something．"
Ajla Dizdarevic，12，who has self?published two books of poetry，has been on television and in local newspapers．Being a published author，she said，"was always a dream of mine．"Her new dream：three books by age 15．

66．Which of the following is true of Ben？C
A．His manuscripts were favored by the publisher．
B．His self-published books were well received．
C．He has achieved something unusual for his age．
D．He was thought little of by the public media．
67．What makes it possible for writers of all ages to self-publish their works？D
A．The rapid increase of online readership．
B．The increasing number of publishers．
C．The immediate access to marketing agencies．
