【题目】About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a filmstudio (影棚) to take part in a crowdscene. Although our “act” would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.

We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big moviecamera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in “snow”. Two more fans were turned on, and a “strong wind” blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.

The next scene was a complete contrast (对比). The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!

Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film “stars”!

【1】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. A cameraman.

B. A workman for scene setting.

D. The author’s experience of being a crowdscene actor.

2】The author felt cold because of _________.

A. the heavy snowfall

B. the manmade scene

C. the three fans

D. the strong wind

3What can you inter from the passage?

A. At the time it did snow.

B. The author was a director.

C. A new scene would be shot.

D. The authors actlasted a short time.

【题目】Lunch hours are getting shorter and shorter , and even disappearing in some parts of today’s working world . With fewer employees but more tasks to be accomplished in a day , many Americans treat lunch not as a break but as just another task to squeeze into an already over-booked day . But do quick meals at the desk actually improve productivity over more leisurely meals ? According to the latest study published in the journal PLOS ONE , they could help you get more done .

The researchers only studied 32 employees , so the findings are arguable . But when they assigned one group to eat at their desks and the other to dine with a colleague at a restaurant , they found that those who ate lunch together showed a decline in their performance on tests that measured concentration , memory and the ability to catch errors and read emotions in facial expression following lunch than before lunch . Both groups ate the same meals , but those who ate alone were only given 20 minutes to consume their food , while the paired participants were allowed one hour in the restaurant . Those who ate alone did not have as large a drop in their cognitive(认知)processing as those who ate in the restaurant .

There were too many factors at play to determine which had the strongest influence on cognitive control . Whatever factor was responsible , however , the group that took a restaurant lunch break came back more relaxed , say the author , and that likely affected their cognitive sharpness Sharing a meal outside the office with a friend appears to have a calming effect , and while it reduces intellectual skills , it could foster social harmony and teamwork , which may be an important feature of some work tasks .

But don’t feel sorry for the lone lunchers . It turns out that since they were able to maintain their cognitive skills following the meal , they might be in a better position to think creatively for projects that require more solutions or approaches .

1What can we learn about the research ?

A. Its findings are unlikely to raise argument .

B. Both groups were given one hour for lunch .

C. The employees having lunch together performed worse in all aspects .

D. The cognitive skills of the group eating alone declined less than the other .

2Sharing a meal with a friend can help __________ .

A. enhance the cognitive sharpness B. improve harmonious teamwork

C. finish all the work afterwards D. maintain the intellectual skills

3What task does the author think is more suitable for those dining alone ?

A. The task requiring cooperation . B. The task requiring calming effect .

C. The task requiring creativity . D. The task requiring harmony .

【题目】It’s pretty clear that the new animated film Trolls is meant for kids , but there are a couple of PG-13 offerings this week that might be worth looking into .

Trolls

If you’re a parent , you may find this consistent cheeriness super annoying . Kids will love it , though . Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake lead an all-star voice cast in this animated musical adventure in which the Trolls try to avoid being captured and swallowed by a group of evil monsters known as the Bergens . Fine for all ages .

Doctor Strange

He is a character your kids may not have heard of before the release of this film : Doctor Stephen Strange , a once-brilliant surgeon who suffers a serious accident , reinvents himself through magic . Tutored by the powerful Ancient One , he becomes a warrior in a battle between good and evil that takes place across various dimensions(维度). Fierce combat and urban destruction in this effects – laden Marvel blockbuster might look frightening for younger viewers . It’s intense but also a lot of fun . OK for kids around 8-10 and older – especially if they’re familiar with the Marvel movies .

Loving

This is a serious , grown-up movie , but its subject is inspiring , which makes it worthwhile for the older kids . Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga star in the drama based on a true story . They were an interracial couple – he was white , and she was black . While the two married legally in Washington DC , they found the practice was still against the law back home in rural Virginia . Their fight to keep their family together , which went all the way to the Supreme Court , changed the laws regarding interracial marriage nationwide . It’s beautifully written , shot and acted , making it appropriate – and recommended – for viewers around 12 and older .

1Parents might be annoyed by the movie Trolls due to __________ .

A. its special effects B. its simple subject

C. its continual liveliness D. its rude language

2Kids are likely to enjoy the movie Doctor Strange if __________ .
