Cameron set his hope high.(67)BBut he didn't know anything about cinema.What's more,he lived far away from Hollywood,the place for him to realize his dreams.
(68)EHis father told him they would be moving to California and living only a few miles from Hollwood.At that time,he had a great desire to attend film school,but his family couldn't afford it.So he went to study physics at Fullerton College.
Before long Cameron dropped out of college and began earning his living as a truck driver.But he still hadn't given up his dream of becoming a movie maker.His first professional film job was an art director in 1980,and in 1984 he wrote and directed the Terminator.(69)AAfter it came a series of successful science fiction action films.

分析 本文是讲述了著名导演卡梅伦的事迹,他因为《太空漫游》这部电影有了拍电影的想法,随后他通过自己的努力实现了自己的梦想,取得了一些列的成就,包括电影《泰坦尼克号》的拍摄.

解答 66.F.推理判断题.根据下一句是:The movie was Stanley Kubrick's 2001:A Space Odyssey.这部电影是2001年库布里克斯坦利的:太空漫游.所以前面应该是看了这部电影.这里F项"这发生在一个晚上他看了这部电影之后."最符合题意,故选F.
67.B.推理判断题.根据上文Cameron set his hope high.卡梅伦的期望很高.后一句是:But he didn'tknow anything about cinema.但是他不了解任何跟计算机有关的知识,这里B项"他想要拍电影"最符合题意,故选B.
68.E.推理判断题.根据后文His father told him they would be moving to California and living onlya few miles from Hollywood.他的父亲告诉他他们将要搬到加尼福尼亚,住在离好莱坞比较近的地方.所以这里应该是情况出现了转折,这里E项"然而卡梅伦在1971年有一个很幸运的转折"最符合题意,故选E.
69.A.推理判断题.根据后文after it came a series of successful science fiction action films.从那以后出现了一系列成功的科幻动作电影.由此可见卡梅伦的这个作品是成功的,这里A项"这个一个巨大的成功"最符合题意,故选A.
70.D.推理判断题.根据后文But it ended up earning almost  2 billion可知这部电影要花2亿英镑;故选D.

点评 考察学生的推理判断能力和联系上下文的能力,在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.此类的填空题一定要联系上下文,根据上下文的内容加上自己的理解,再作出正确的判断.

12.You may have read about confidence.But reading about confidence,and actually achieving it,are very different issues.You can read about it your entire life,but you will not have it until you make a move to achieve it.
If you are going to do something about your confidence level,you really have to make a posi-tive decision to get started,and then get along with it.(36)EWatching and reading about it will not do you any good at all.The reality is that you are going to have to make that first critical move.
Reading theory alone is not enough.(37)BWhy,you might ask?Confidence is not theory.
It is a feeling and a state of mind.Therefore,it is not possible for anyone to build confidence with-out having to do something about it.
Money and gold will not buy yon confidence.It is not something that comes ready-made,off the shelf in a supermarket.The responsibility lies with one person and one person only.(38)AAs soon as you take some sort of action,something will happen:you will gain experience.
Whatever that experience is,it becomes an asset(所有物)that is yours to use and also to share.
Someday that experience may help you.(39)FKeep doing things,repeatedly if necessary,and
your knowledge and skill base will grow.As it grows,your confidence will increase.The better you get at whatever it is,the more confidence you will have,Furthermore,that extra knowledge and experience forms a foundation for the next level.(40)G

A.And that is you.
B.Action is required.
C.You will probably make mistakes.
D.Self-confidence is something unique.
E.If you do nothing,then nothing will happen.
F.It may even help you to advise somebody else.
G.Before you know it,you will be building a skyscraper.
4.NOISE
    The people who lived in Rome 2,000 years ago were already talking about the noise in their
city.They couldn't sleep,they said,with all the people and carriages in the streets.For them noise was only a trouble,but for us it has become a real danger.We know that sounds of an ordinary city are loud enough to cause serious harm to the people's hearing--in the United States,one person out of twenty has suffered some hearing loss.(66)FIt has increased greatly in the 20th century with the development of machines.We live
surrounded by loud planes,trucks,buses,radios,machines--that make such loud noises day and
night up to 90 or 100 decibels(分贝).A usual talk reaches 55 decibels.A jet plane goes to 100
decibels and more."Pop"music reaches around 118 decibels.At 120 decibels the ear stops
hearing sound,and the ear suffers a lot.
    However,the human ear does not judge clearly the degree of loudness of a noise.A sound ten decibels louder than another one is felt as twice as loud,when,in fact,it is ten times louder.
 (67)EBut it is not only our hearing that is harmed.It has been known that loud noises,over a period of time,cause loss of sleep,anger,and many other problems.(68)GCan anything be done to make our world more quiet?We know how to build quieter machines,if the public wants them.But shop-assistants say that people who buy motorbikes like the loudest ones because they sound more loudly.(69)AIn America the drivers in some cities are fined fifty dollars for honking;they may lose their right to drive if they do it again.People who carry noisy radios in public places may lose them if they are caught with them.(70)DEven so,say the scientists,in twenty years the cities will be twice as loud as they are
today because of the increase of the population.People will have to shout to be heard at the dinner table.Unless,of course,they have all become completely deaf!

A.Some countries are trying to make laws.
B.People will become completely deaf in the future.
C.When a sound is getting louder and louder,our ears are in danger.
D.In fact,it will take everybody's hard work to keep city noises from increasing.
E.Since we cannot measure the increase or decrease of noise,we never know in what danger we are.
F.And all over the world the situation is getting worse all the time since noise increases with the population.
G.Such problems have been found among factory workers,and people who operate loud machines,or often go to pop music concerts.
1.Do you know what a big dream is?(71)COr,is a big dream something that provides only entertainment?Children dream big dreams,but there are three barriers to realizing dreams.They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.
    The Self
    Immediately following the birth of a big dream,a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen.This inside voice is the ego(自我).It's there for protecting and should be listened to.(72)EMost people are influenced by the inside voice.That's why only a handful of people make their dream come true.
   (73)A
Family and friends are a lot like the ego.They want to protect those they love,so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won't come true.Sometimes,family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most,out of their own fear of being left behind.
The World
    If one gets past the first two barriers,one has to face the world.(74)FIn the past,big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world.Fortunately,in most of the world today,big dreamers just get laughed at.
The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action.When children have confidence and then take action,they will be ready to accept any failure.The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well.(75)D 

A.Family and Friends
B.How Big Dreams Die
C.Does a big dream show one's future?
D.They simply fail until they succeed.
E.Sometimes it is right,but more often it is wrong
F.It is the last and the most terrible barrier.
G.And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.
8."Nature does not hurry,yet everything is accomplished."---Lao Tzu
If you are in a city where everyone rushes,realize that you don't have to be like everyone else.You can be different.You can walk instead of driving in rush hour traffic.You can be on your iPhone or Blackberry less,and disconnected sometimes.Your environment doesn't control your life---you do.I'm not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower.(71)D
1.Do less.
Cut back on your projects,on your task list,on how much you try to do each day.Focus not on quantity but on quality.(72)F Save smaller,routine tasks for later in the day,but give yourself time to focus.
2.Have fewer meetings.
(73)B And they eat into your day,forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small windows,and making you rush.
3.(74)A
When you do the important things with focus,without rush,there will be things that get pushed back,and that don't get done.And you need to ask yourself:how necessary are these things?What would happen if I stopped doing them?
4.Practice mindfulness.
Simply learn to live in the present,rather than things so much about future or the past.When you eat,fully appreciate your food.When you are with someone,be with them fully.When you are walking,appreciate your surroundings,no matter where you are.
Try these things out.Life is better when unrushed.
(75)E

A.Start to put off or cancel the unnecessary.
B.Meetings are usually a"big waste of time".
C.The world likely won't end if you don't pass one of the examinations.
D.But here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt,if they work for your life.
E.Remember the quote:if nature can get everything done without rushing,so can you.
F.Pick 2-3important things---or even just one important thing---and work on those first.
G.Give yourself more time to get ready and get there.
18.The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet,chat and go where we have never been before.
But just as in face to face communication,there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when you are online.(63)D Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes.
For anything you're about to send:ask yourself,"Would I say this to the person's face?"if the answer is no,rewrite and reread.(64)G
If someone in the chat room is rude to you,your instinct(本能)is to fire back in the same manner.But try not to do so.(65)E If it was caused by a disagreement with another member,try to fix the situation by politely discussing it.Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
(66)A Offer advice when asked by newcomers,as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate.When someone makes a mistake,whether it's a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer,be kind about it.If it's a small mistake,you may not need to say anything.Even if you feel strongly about it,think twice before saying anything.Having good manners yourself doesn't give you permission to correct everyone else.(67)B At the same time,if you find you are wrong,be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age,sex and marital status(婚姻状况).Unless you know the person very well,and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information,don't ask such questions.

A.Everyone was new to the network once.
B.If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake,point it out politely.
C.It's natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.
D.The basic rule is simple:treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
E.You should either ignore the person,or use your chat software to block their messages.
F.When you send short messages to a person online,you must say something beautiful to hear.
G.Repeat the process till you feel sure that you'd feel comfortable saying the words to the person's face.
