 Aftershock,a movie about the 1976 Tangshan earthquake,has grossed over 160 million yuan at the Chinese box office since its opening on July 22,the State Administration of Radio Film and Television (SARFT) said Monday.

  The movie earned more than 100 million yuan within three days of its release,breaking the Chinese box office record previously held by The Founding of a Republic.

  Aftershock set its first box office record on its release day when it earned 36. 2 million yuan―the highest box office ever for a local movie on its opening day.

  It is about a mother's threedecade journey leading to an emotional reunion with the daugh?ter she thought she had lost in the earthquake. The Tangshan earthquake left more than 240,000 dead.

  A survey on sina. com,one of China's major news portals,shows nearly half of the 20 ,015 people surveyed said the movie was "very good and surpassed expectations".

About one quarter of those surveyed said the great performances of the movie's cast moved them the most.

  Also there was laughter during the movie's screening,especially when advertisements were inserted into the story line of the movie and given closeup shots.

  Fifteen minutes of the movie's total length of two and a half hours were for these advertise?ments,which have drawn criticism from the media as well as the public.

  In an interview with Xinhua on Monday,Zhang Hongsen,vice director of the SARFT film department said advertisements placed in movies were necessary for film makers to make profits,as piracy poses a threat to their revenues.

  He said a tougher crackdown on piracy was essential to solving the problem of such adver?tisements placed into movies.

 We know the famous ones―the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells,but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper (雨刮器) ? Shouldn't we know who they are?

  Joan McLean thinks so. In fact,McLean,a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range,feels so strongly about this matter that she's developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning "who" invented "what"，McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the "why" and "how" questions. According to McLean, "When students learn the answers to these questions,they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try,"

  Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean's statement. "If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's inven?tion ,"said Tommy Lee,a senior physics major, "I would never have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive. " Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.

  So,just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well,Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy,but Anderson still wanted to see the sights,so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield,she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a builtin device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham,Alabama,Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas,a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside,became the first windshield wiper.

  Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan's traffic light. It's equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett's innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?

(   ) 1. By mentioning "traffic light" and " windshield wiper" , the author indicates that countless inventions are         .

   A. beneficial,because their inventors are famous

   B. beneficial,though their inventors are less famous

   C. not useful,because their inventors are less famous

   D. not useful,though their inventors are famous

(   ) 2. Professor Joan McLean's course aims to .

   A. add colour and variety to students' campus life

   B. inform students of the windshield wiper's invention

   C. carry out the requirements by Mountain University

   D. prepare students to try their own inventions

(   ) 3. Tommy Lee's invention of the unbreakable umbrella was         .

   A. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer

   B. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper

   C. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm

   D. not related to Professor Joan McLean's lectures

(   ) 4. Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?

   A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?

   B. How to Design a Builtin Device for Cleaning the Window?

   C. Shouldn't We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?

   D. Shouldn't We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?

 David Wroblewski's The Story of Edgar Sawtelle explores the silent world of the novel's hero,Edgar Sawtelle,living in Wisconsin during the middle of the 20th century. Born unable to speak,the boy seems to prefer the language of dogs more than the words of people. From his earliest memories,his favorite job on the farm was to name the new born dogs. As he grows older,his connection with the dogs becomes deeper. He helps to train them through sign lan?guage.

  The novel begins with Edgar's grandfather,telling readers about how the dog farm began. When Edgar's father,Gar,dies strangely,Edgar blames his uncle,Claude,his father's younger brother,who has meant nothing but trouble for the family. When Claude falls in love with Edgar's mother,Trudy,Edgar is shocked and very angry.

  The story is filled with loving family memories until Claude arrives,returning to the farm he abandoned long ago. Edgar finds Claude to be twofaced. The man presents his best side to Edgar's mother. She falls in love with him,allowing him to fill in the vacant spaces left behind from her husband's death. Edgar sees the other side of Claude,a side that Edgar finds danger?ous.

  When tensions become too strong between Edgar and Claude,Edgar takes his favorite dogs and runs away from home. For the story itself,this tension raises the level of curiosity for the reader. It is at this point that the novel takes on the form of a mystery or a sort of detective story. Edgar fears that the police are looking for him because of an accidental death that he played a part in. Readers may worry that Edgar might be caught because Claude tells local offi?cials that Edgar committed murder. In the end,it is Edgar against Claude―a fight to the finish. Unfortunately,there are no winners.

  The Story of Edgar Sawtelle was Wroblewski's first novel. It took him ten years to com?plete it. Literary critics praise the author's writing,especially in the first half of the story. Some critics,however,hold the opposite opinion. And,some have found the second half to be too artificially operated.

  Andy Steele lives just a few blocks from the campus of Black Hills State University in Spearfish,S. D. ，so coming to class isn't the problem. But he doesn't like lectures much,isn't a morning person,and wants time during the day to repair motorcycles.

  So Steele,a fulltime senior business major,has been taking as many classes as he can from the South Dakota state system's online offerings. He gets better grades and learns more,he says,and insists he isn't missing out on the college experience.

"I still know a lot of people from my first two years living on campus,and I still meet a lot of people," he says. But now,he sets his own schedule.

  At least 2. 3 million people took some kinds of online courses in 2004,according to a recent survey by The Sloan Consortium,an online education group,and twothirds of colleges offering " face-to-face" courses also offer online ones. But what were once two distinct types of classes are looking more and more alike and often dipping into the same pool of students.

  At some schools,online courses originally intended for nontraditional students living far from campus have proved surprisingly popular with oncampus students. A recent study by South Dakota's Board of Regents found 42 percent of the students enrolled in its distance education courses weren't so distant,they were located on campus at the university that was hosting the online courses.

  Numbers vary depending on the policies (政策) of particular colleges,but other schools also have students mixing and matching online and "face-to-face" credits. Motives range from lifestyle to offering a job schedule to getting into highdemand courses.

  Washington State had about 325 oncampus undergraduates taking one or more distance courses last year. As many as 9,000 students took both distance and inperson classes at Arizona State last year.

"Business is really about providing options to their customers,and that's really what we want to do," said Sheila Aaker,extended services coordinator at Black Hills State.

(   ) 5. What's the main idea of the passage?

   A. More and more students prefer to stay at home,chatting on line.

   B. Online course is becoming the only way of learning.

   C. More and more students prefer classes on line.

   D. What does the online course really look like?

(   ) 6. The online course in some universities were first arranged for those         .

   A. who lived on the campus

   B. who lived far away from schools

   C. who had no money to go to school

   D. who were very interested in the computer

(   ) 7. The underlined part "two distinct types of classes" (in paragraph 4) probably refers to "         ”，

   A. face-to-face courses and online courses

   B. rich students and poor students

   C. colleges and universities

   D. students living away and students living nearby

(   ) 8. According to the passage,which of the following do you think is NOT true?

   A. There are some university students in Washington State taking at least one distance course last year.

   B. A recent study shows about two fifths students enrolled in its distanceeducation courses live not so far from campus.

   C. Andy Steele,living quite away from his university,has to get up early every morning.

   D. Steele,who is a business major,has the online course from the state system.

 The speaker,a teacher from a community college,addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, "High school English teachers are not doing their jobs. " He described the inadequacies of his students,all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.

  My topic is not standards nor its decline (降低) .What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young;he has been teaching for sixteen years,and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.

  My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century,it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies (缺陷) .But since then,English teachers have been under constant attack.

  The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves,they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years,they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate. .

  Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not noticed as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to today's young people,it naturally follows that today's English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise,young people would not commit offenses against the language.

(   ) 1. The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that        .

   A. the language of the younger generation is usually inferior to that of the older generation

   B. the students had a poor command of English because they didn't work hard enough

   C. he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen years

   D. English teachers should be held responsible for the students' poor command of English

(   ) 2. In the author's opinion,the speaker         .

   A. gave a correct judgment of the English level of the students

   B. had exaggerated the language problems of the students

   C. was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobs

   D. could think and speak intelligently

(   ) 3. The author's attitude towards the speaker's remarks is         .

   A. neutral   B. positive   C. critical   D. compromising

(   ) 4. In the passage the author argues that         .

   A. it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the students

   B. young people would not commit offences against the language if the teachers did their jobs properly

   C. to eliminate language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and ears

   D. to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generations

5. Appreciation of works of art        a particular kind of interest.(bound)

对于艺术作品的欣赏必然受到一种特殊的兴趣爱好的支配。
