Passage 1
     The Information Highway is the road that links computer users to a large number of on-line services;
the Web, e-mail, and software, to mention just a few. Not long ago, the information Highway was a new
road, with not many users. Now, everyone seems to want to take a drive, with over 30 million families
connected worldwide. Not surprisingly, this well-traveled highway is starting to look like a well-traveled
highway. Traffic jams can cause many serious problems, forcing the system to close down for repair.
Naturally, accidents will happen on such a crowed road, and usually victims are some files, gone forever.
Then, of course, there's Mr. Cool, with his new broad-band connection, who speeds down the highway
faster than most of us can go. But don't trick yourself; he pays for that speeding.

信息匹配：阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
首先请阅读下列近期热播的国外影视作品的海报及提示性文字：
A. When it comes to the essential story line, the movie is all about a bird traveling
several thousand miles for the purpose of setting up a rare bird family.
B. Cracks explore the evil force developed within a closed society, the single-minded
violence of the mob mentality, and the seductive charm of the heroine.
C. Eleven years after Sidney Prescott tangled with a mad killer, the Scream series
has been exhumed. It was fun and breezy in 1996. In 2011, it's about as fresh as
the whiff.
D. Soul surfer portrays the comeback spirit and faith of shark attack survivor and
champion surfer Bethany Hamilton.
E. Although it is a better fantasy than a comedy, this movie never fully embraces
either side of the dramatic types and ends up a bastard of mixed blood.
F. This movie is a richer and more compelling thriller involving a cat-and-mouse
game than the average roller coaster ride into tension and misery. And it also has
a "clean" ending.

以下是这些影视作品的背景简介或故事梗概。请将相关背景简介或故事梗概与影视作品的海报及提示
性文字匹配起来。
(     )1. Having spent most of her life in the worlds of Finland and toughened herself with half her teen years'
harsh training as a killer, she decides that she is ready to enter society. Her first mission is to kill Marissa, her
mother's killer. The plan goes much as expected, except the "Marissa" is an imposter. Hanna becomes the prey
in a cat-and-mouse game with the real Marissa, causing tension and misery.
(     )2. Blu is a domesticated macaw from the jungles of South America. If Linda, his owner, brings him to
Rio, the bird can mate the last female blue macaw and re-start the species. Blu's encounter with his bride-to-be,
Jewel, doesn't go well, but the two aren't given much time to get to know each other before a gang of bird-hunter
s spirits them away. Now it's up to Blu and Jewel to escape the criminals.
(     )3. Perhaps surprisingly, it works reasonably well until the jokes get in the way, testifying to how durable
fantasy clichés are. Yet, considering the talent involved on both sides of the camera, audiences may be expecting
more. Even though it emerges from an uncrowded genre in which the competition is sparse. Your Highness is
forgettable and it likely won't take long before it is forgotten.
(     )4. The film begins with the heroine at age 13, already a champion surfer who has been winning trophies
since she was 9. On an idyllic Hawaii day, she is practicing for next competition when a shark strikes, biting off
her left arm. She makes a quick physical recovery and is back on her surfboard after several weeks, but her
spiritual recovery is more complicated as she struggle to believe she can-and should-keep surfing. She goes out
their and shows the world she can be a beacon for human soul.
 (     )5. The Ghost Face Killer has chosen this year to emerge from the winter long sleep, and his targets appear
to be Sidney and those few remaining family members. Scream 4 offers little more than a group of familiar
characters wandering around a horror movie setting and uttering self-referential one-liners as the body count
mounts. The story is thin and belabored─more an excuse to encounter old friends and revel in new gore than
that "revision" promised by the promotional material.

下面是这些书的简要内容。请把相关的内容与它们的书名匹配起来。
(     )1. This picture book explores the life of a tree that has deep roots,long arms,and many children. She
provides shelter for many animals and bears fruit. The author uses colorful, simple, yet detailed watercolor
illustrations to convey her words. The charming pictures show the many aspects in the life of a tree down
to the caterpillars that eat the leaves. It is good for pre-school children.
(     )2. This charming picture book highlights the life of a garden, from planting seeds to harvesting. With
the narrator as guide, the reader is led through a variety of free verse and occasionally rhymed poems that
fill in the story of a garden and its inhabitants. The pictures, delightful watercolors in bright pastels, add to
the whimsical feel of the poems. Young readers will certainly enjoy this fun and fanciful text.
(     )3. This is a story from 1956 which introduces a little boy who likes to go fishing with a tree limb, a
woman, and a pin. Although he never catches anything, on this particular day he finally does hook three big
ones, but the little one gets away. The boy pulls them home in his wagon and his mother cooks them for
supper. The swinging rhythms of the text and the good humor evident in the illustrations remain fun for the
youngest readers.
(     )4. This useful, attractive, oversize volume uses its height well, employing a tree metaphor to show the
earth's various kinds of life and how all living things from bacteria to the largest mammals, are related. Each
spread covers one branch of the animal kingdom. To make the enormity of species understandable, Strauss
equates individual species (e. g.,1 0,000 bacteria) with one leaf on the tree.
(     )5. This is a story about how a grandfather teaches his eager granddaughter to catch speckled trout from
the stream in springtime. After a whole day on the lake, only Grandpa is lucky. The next morning the young
fisherman hurries to the dock alone, and soon she hooks the catch of a lifetime. Young readers will appreciate
this story that celebrates the special bond between the older and younger generation, while brilliant watercolor
illustrations capture the beauty of the natural world.
