任务型阅读

某校正在开展课外阅读小组活动Peter, Helen, Catherine, Elizabeth和Jessica想根据自己小组成员的喜好找一篇英语阅读材料。阅读下面某报纸的文章摘要（A, B, C, D, E, F），选出适合他们的文章，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。

1．Peter’s group members are fond of an article which can help them to find something that can both challenge their intelligence and provide entertainment．

2．Helen’s group members are fashionable and fond of advanced technology．They like reading something that can provide them with inspirations in achieving success and changing people’s way of life．

3．Catherine’s group members are athletic and spend a lot of time working out．They are fond of any stories about stars in the sports world．

4．Elizabeth’s group members want to read some articles which can help them keep pace with the trend of fashion．They hope to find in the article some hints on helping improve their appearances．

5．Jessica’s group members are keen on becoming volunteers and therefore are looking for some articles that can increase their chances of being chosen．

（A）

Wang’s little big ideas

Apps are transforming smart phones into multi-tasking gadgets that can locate a good restaurant and even help you with your love life．As the iPhone4 hits China, Zhang Chunmei meets the Chinese programmer behind an App Store bestseller to find how a tiny idea can make a big difference and how apps influence our digital lifestyle．

（B）

Showcase for talent

Susan Boyle, you better watch out．Semifinal day on China’s Got Talent is fast approaching and these contestants（竞争者） just might push you off your pedestal （宝座）．Like them or hate them, there’s no denying the contestants are causing something of a stir across the country．The performers singled out on this page will certainly offer a show about which you’ll have something to say．

（C）

Top of the crops

You might think Fashion Week is about dresses rather than hairstyles．But you’d be wrong．Whether the models are in New York, London or Milan, who’s sporting the prettiest, trendiest or most shocking hairstyle is as hot a topic as the clothes on the catwalk．Despite the many hair highlights of the 2010 Fashion Week, we’ve managed to comb through the masses of material to pick a few of our favorites here．

（D）

Movie messes with your head

Driving home from a screening of Inception, my husband said to me: “I don’t know how you are going to write about this movie．” “What, you mean without giving anything away?” I asked．“No,” he said．“I don’t know how you are going to explain what it’s about．” The film, by writer-director Christopher Nolan, is a gorgeous（极好的）, technically perfect symphony（交响曲） of images and ideas．

（E）

Woods to split

The marriage between the golf star and his wife is officially over．Official divorce papers state that “the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken”, thus bringing to an end the couple’s six-year marriage．Woods and Nordgren have lived apart since Woods’ November 2009 car crash, which was followed by Woods’ public admission of a series of affairs with other women．

（F）

Flowers set to bloom

What exactly does it take for a young woman to be considered a “campus flower?” Some say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but surely there must be certain essential criteria．Perhaps we can get some answers by taking a closer look inside the training camp of the Universiade Star in Shenzhen, a competition organized to select the guides, waiters, torchbearers and flag bearers for the 2011 games．

They will be Slumdogs no more．The two kid actors who broke our hearts in the Academy Award—winning “Slumdog Millionaire” are being moved out of their miserable Mumbai slum（贫民区） into real homes with roofs and doors and walls．

Rubina Ali and Azharuddin Ismail，who played the young Versions of the two main characters，won’t have to pay anything—their new digs are free．“These two children have brought honors to the country，” said Gautam Chatterjee．head of Mumbai’s housing authority．So for 10 -year-old Azharuddin，it’s goodbye to the simple tent by a busy road that was his family home．And for 9-year-old Rubina，it’s goodbye to the one room house she shared with her family．

Details（细节）about when the families will be moved—or if they will have things we take for granted like indoor plumbing（水暖管道）一were not known．Still，there was lots of joy in the actors’ households．“We ale happy that we will have a permanent roof over our heads．”said Rubina’s dad，Rafiq Qureshi，told The Times of India newspaper．

Casting agents discovered Rubina and Azharuddin in the terrible Garib Nagar slum．There was a worldwide outcry when it was discovered the kids were still living there even as the movie easily made$100 million．

Director Danny Boyle, who also won a best director Oscar, refused to admit exploiting the child actors. He said they were paid above local wages for 30 days of work, enrolled in school for the first time ever - and had a fund set up to pay for their tuition, health care and “basic living costs.”

Also, Fox Searchlight Pictures flew the kids and seven of the Indian children who appeared in the movie to Hollywood for the Oscar ceremony. Indian media reported the sudden generosity by Mumbai housing officials has more to do with politics than pride in the kids.

1．Judging from the article, it may be improper to think of Slumdog Millionaire as ______

A．successful B．profitable

C．moving D．amusing

2．Rubina.Ali and Azharuddin Ismail ______

A．are both professional actors

B．played different versions of the same character

C．have both been poor in real life

D．enjoyed life as millionaires in the film

3．How have the kids' families reacted to the offer of the housing authorities?

A．They are happy to accept it.

B．They're doubtful about it.

C．They'd rather remain where they live.

D．Only one family is willing to move.

4．What did Director Danny Boyle do to the two kids?

A．He let them live as famous stars.

B．He provided houses for their families.

C．He gave them all they deserved.

D．He gave them less than expected.

5．We can infer from the article that ______

A．decision on Academy Award winners involves racial discrimination

B．Indian media was trying to praise Mumbai's housing authority

C．the writer is afraid the kids' new houses won't be satisfactory

D．Rubina Ali and Azharuddin Ismail's families do not take pride in them
