题目内容

【题目】12-year-old Robert Looks Twice appears to be the typical all-American boy. He is the quarterback of his school’s football team, student council president and one of the top students in his class.

But he hasn’t forgotten his Lakota Sioux root. Unlike most children on the reservation (居留地), he keeps his hair long, a symbol of strength, and he performs at powwows (祈祷仪式), traditionally known as wacipis, where he is a champion of the traditional Lakota dance. Robert was inspired to start dancing by his grandfather, John Tail, who had a small role in the famous film about Indian Amercans, Dances with Wolves. Six years ago, John passed away, and Robert wears little wolves on his clothes in his memory.

We are told that his last name, “ Looks Twice”, came about because his ancestors were cautious and always took a second look.

Robert lives in a trailer (拖车) with his grandmother, uncle and eight other cousins. When he gives us a tour, the trailer is falling apart. “ It is getting ready to cave in (坍塌),” says Robert about the kitchen floor. The family also put trash bags on the ceiling, because it’s leaking. “ When it rains it gets all my shirts wet,” he says of another leak in his bedroom. Often the electricity goes off and the family have to use the burners on the stove to heat the house.

This kind of poverty is typical of the reservation. The reservation is the third poorest county in America, and Robert’s community, Manderson, is known for its high crime rate. But despite all the temptations (诱惑) of drugs and alcohol around him, Robert remain focused on being the first person in his family to go to college and then a very big dream.

“ I want to be the first Native American President,” Robert said. “ I want to build better houses and clean up the reservation, because it’s bad. Get people off the drugs and alcohol and spend that money on their children. Build a better school and playground. Try to get a mall down here to help people get work.”

【1】What can we learn from Robert’s experience?

A. Everyone should persist in chasing their dreams.

B. The poor can get more help from others.

C. It is never too late to study.

D. It is necessary for everyone to go to college.

【2】Unlike Robert, what do most children on the reservation do?

A. They dance like their ancestors.

B. They don’t worship their grandfather.

C. They keep their hair short.

D. They have Lakota Sioux roots.

【3】What does Robert do, even though he is living in terrible conditions?

A. He helps people get off drugs and alcohol.

B. He helps people get work by getting a mall.

C. He keeps working toward his dream.

D. He is beginning to build a better house.

【4】Why is Robert said to be a typical American boy?

A. He like traveling.

B. He has a higher position in his family.

C. He wants to be the first Native American President.

D. He is excellent in all respects.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】C

【4】D

【题目】The influence of America is increasing in my country. Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do these things every day.

I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the programs and documentaries (纪录片) we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to see are made in Hollywood.

In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe.

American culture is a part of Spanish life now. It’s certain that many things from America are as much a part of people’s lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. I’ve known about Coca Cola for my whole life.

However, it’s different with Western fast food. For example, I don’t think McDonald’s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people. The Spanish people normally eat at home.

On the other hand, maybe McDonald’s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It’s true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald’s, and it is more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. In any case, it’s obvious that American culture is becoming more and more a part of our lives every day.

【1】From the first paragraph we can know that ____.

A. the influence of America on Spain can be found everywhere

B. most Spanish people don’t like to listen to their own music

C. fast food spreads from Spain to the United States

D. some Spanish actors go to America to improve their acting skills

【2】 What plays an important part in the spreading of American culture in Spain?

A. American novels. B. Hollywood movies.

C. McDonald’s. D. American music.

【3】 Why did the government set some rules for the films shown in Spain?

A. To protect foreign culture in Spain.

B. To earn more money from Spanish films.

C. To limit the number of foreign movies.

D. To unite the European Community.

【4】What do you think Spanish tapas (in the last paragraph)might be?

A. The name of a drink. B. The name of a restaurant.

C. A clothing brand. D. A certain kind of food.

【题目】—The relation between the actor and his girlfriend has been worsening.

—I know. It has got to they have to get separated.

A. where B. how C. which D. what

Painting a picture of Picasso

Pablo Picasso was born in Spain, in 1881. His father, 【1】 was also an artist, encouraged him 【2】 (start) drawing at a very young age.

These lively meetings at the café led to two 【6】 (importance) events in Picasso’s life: first, he met the poet Jaime Sabartes and the painter Carlos Casagemas, who became his closest friends; second, he decided to devote his life 【7】 experimenting with different styles of art instead of producing traditional art. In October 1900, Picasso 【8】 (leave) Barcelona for the bright lights of Paris, and his life as a wandering artist really began.

Yesterday I paid a visit to the Hong’en Temple Park with my friends. The park was full of fresh and beauty flowers. When I was enjoying the wonderful scenery around, something unpleasant catch my eye. A young couple on the grass was eating, talking and laughing loudly even if they were the only people in the world. What’s better, they spat and even threw rubbish onto the grass, ignoring the sign “No littering” nearby. What a shame!

Such behavior left me in thought. If all visitors to the Hong’en Temple Park do as the young couples did, the park will be severely polluting and soon turned into a huge dustbin. I think both of us should mind our behavior in the public places. Only in this way can we live more comfortable and beautiful surroundings.
