题目内容

【题目】Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood, in the United States. However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay, and so the film industry(产业)there is called “Bollywood”. Each year, Bollywood makes twice as many movies as Hollywood.

The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing, Bollywood movies are longer than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, adventure, mystery and romance. Because Bollywood films has so many different characters, this style of film is called a “masala” film. Masala is an Indian word for a mixture(混合) of spices(调味品).

Another big difference is the way the movies are made. It takes longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script(剧本) is finished. The director and writers can make up the story while the filming is being made. Sometimes they even write the script by hand instead of typing it.

Bollywood actors are so popular that some of them may even work on several movies at the same time. They may even make several different films on the same day using the same costumes(戏装) and scenery. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps to keep the cost(成本) of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(ABCD)中选出最佳选项。

Electronic book publishing has many of the same risks and opportunities as electronic music publishing. By delivering text direct to the user’s computer screen, the e-book could cut down costs, and allow creators to deal directly with their audience, bypassing (绕过) traditional publishers and readers. But it also raises the possibility of mass piracy (盗版). Phil Rance, founder and managing director of Online Originals, a London-based e-book publisher, sums it up. “No one wants Napster (在线音乐服务) to happen to books.”

Indeed, the most popular MP3 have put the frighteners on (威胁) an industry that generally operates some way behind the “bleeding edge”. The Mata Group, a leading US-based market researcher, says publishers are far too concerned about protecting their rights, “We believe all the recent legal control over Napster is like putting a finger in a river that is already overflowing. Publishers need to deal with reality and come up with new ways to develop wide electronic distribution (分布), asking the question: ‘How can we use the certainty of wide distribution to our advantage?’”

At the moment, most publishers would like to limit the use of e-books to the person who bought them, or to the computer used to download them. If that can be done, e-books become just an extra income stream in a publishing industry that would continue to operate the way it does today, according to Terry Robinson, business manager for Adobe’s e-paper group. “If you’ve cracked digital rights aspect, you’ve cracked the market,” he says.

Robert Nichols, Books Director at BOL agrees, “Rights management is absolutely important. Publishers just say that ‘until copyright is secure, we’re not going to talk’.”

【1】Which of the following can be the best title for this text?

A. Changes Brought by E-books

【2】According to the text, what do e-books and electronic music have in common?

A. They result in piracy.

B. They lead to price reduction.

C. They avoid industry management.

D. They bring in more money to creators.

【3】What do publishers care most about e-books?

A. Copyright. B. Price.

C. Quality. D. Popularity.

【题目】Students from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it,they wore aquatic (水上的)shoes they designed and created.

Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175-foot lake on campus in record time—just over a minute. Quinones,who wore oversized boat-like shoes,also won last year and will receive $ 500.

Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for Architecture Professor Jaime Canaves'Materials and Methods Construction Class.“It's traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that,” Canaves said.“We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.”

A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the community. The youngest person to ever participate was a 9-year-old girl who competed in place of her mother,while the oldest was a 67-year-old female.

A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers. He shouted encouraging words,but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.

“A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better,” he said. It is also a lesson in life for the students.

“Anything,including walking on water,is possible,if you do the research,test it and go through the design process seriously.

【题目】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。选项中有两项为多余选项。

It’s natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave. 【1】 But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages? Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body?

Scientists have recently tackled these questions. They found that when a person is looking at your face, she might not believe what she sees if your body language doesn’t match the feeling that your face shows.

2 Previously, they had found that the tone of a person’s voice can be more important than the words that are spoken. For example, most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, “I’m so excited.”

When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected that the face was more important. To test if this was true, psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated(孤立的)faces and isolated bodies (with faces blurred out(模糊的)) that showed anger or fear. 3___

An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth. 4 A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to defend.

These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people. Even when people pay attention to the face, body language subtly(微妙地) influences which emotion they read.

5 If you want to be understood, it helps to avoid sending mixed messages./p>

A. Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists.

B. Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people.

C. So, your body language is important for telling people how you feel.

D. When you do this, your face and body work together to show your friends that you’re happy to see them.

E. An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle, as if ready to fight.

F. They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies

G. Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds.
