题目内容
8.It was the last day of final examinations at a large college.On the steps of one building,a group of engineering students were discussing the exam that was about to begin.On their faces was confidence.This was their last exam before they graduated (毕业) and found jobs.Some talked of jobs they already had; others of jobs they would get.With four years of college study,they felt ready and able to conquer(征服) the world.
The coming exam,they knew,would be easy.The professor(教授) had said they could bring any books or notes they wanted,but they couldn't talk to each other during the test.
They walked into the classroom.The professor passed out the papers.The students'smiles became wide as they saw that there were only five essay-type questions.
Three hours passed and the exam came to an end.Then the professor began to collect the papers.The students no longer looked confident.They seemed worried.No one spoke as the professor faced the class with the papers in her hand.
She looked at all the worried faces in front of her,and then asked,"How many students completed all five questions?"
Not a hand was put up.
"How many of you answered four?"Still no hands.
"Three?Two?"The students moved restlessly in their seats.
"One,then.Certainly somebody finished one."But the class stayed silent.The professor put down the papers."That is just what I expected,"she said.
"I just wanted to make sure you realize that even though you have studied engineering for four years,there are still many things about the subject you don't know.Instead of testing you on what you learned in this class,I've given you questions that skilled engineers face in the world outside the classroom.You can't expect to be an expert(专家) on the day you graduate.You have to learn as you go."
Then,smiling,she added,"You will all pass this course,but remember that your education has just begun."
24.What does the underlined word"restlessly"mean in the passage?D
A.confidently B.proudly C.excitedly D.nervously
25.Why did the professor design the final exam in such a way?A
A.To make the students realize that they still had much to learn after graduation.
B.To find out whether the students could put what they had learned into practice.
C.To show that she had much more knowledge than her students in engineering.
D.To examine whether the students learned what they had been taught in her class.
26.What can be the best title of the passage?D
A.A Playful Joke B.A Lucky Chance
C.A Strange Professor D.A Special Exam.

5.Every year movies festivals around the world present awards for best director.Some of this festival began ten years ago,and their list of winners for best director are quite long.However,among all the names of winners,it's not easy to find the names of female directors.
The Cannes Film festival is the first major movie festival to name female director as best director of the year in 1961,A Russian director called Yuliya Solnsteva won at Cannes.Since then,some movies directed by female directors have one Best Picture.But no female directors have one Best Director at Cannes.
The Best Director award at the Berlin International Film Festival is called the Silver Bear award.Only one woman has succeeded in winning it so far.She was Astrid Henning-Jensen from Denmark.Over her career,she directed more than 20movies and in 1979,she won the Silver Bear for her movie Winterborn.
It is the most difficult for female directors to win Best Director in the Oscars in the USA.In fact,since the Oscars began in 1929,only four women have ever been nominated for Best Director.The first woman to actually win this award was Kathryn Bigelow for directing The Hurt Locker.She received the award in 2010.
Over the years,women have directed many wonderful movies.People like them even though they don't win awards.And they make nice films.For example,Nora Ephron directed the great romantic-comedy Sleepless in Seattle and Vicky Jenson directed a wonderful animated movie Shrek.
