In the judges’ eyes,   6, the film was just not artsy enough.In an interview with sina.com after the award presentation, Wang Xiaoshuai admitted that the main reason why the film  7was because it was a bit too commercial for the judges.“Yes, it’s a pity.But a film can’t just fulfill a director’s ambition.It should also  8a market, and keep the investors’ needs  9, ” Wang said.“So, we had to add some commercial elements into this film.”

Wang Xiaoshuai and the main actors   10Wang Xueqi and Fan Bingbing in this film, have got a modest attitude.“We didn’t   11too much when we came,” said Fan in a press conference.“This time we’ve   12great communication with filmmakers around the world–that’s what we came here for.”

  “Where's the light?” my dad used to ask me that when I was little.It's one of those questions that parents use to find out how   1   their young children are.Whenever he asked me, I pointed at him.

  My dad, a good provider and guide, has always   2   with us the value of living an honest life.He did not grow up in a close-knit family like the one he has with us.His father died when he was very young and his mother was too busy to be with him, so my dad found himself alone and felt   3  -lacking nurturing and love, short of family happiness.

  My father is a self-made man.Many hurdles(障碍)lay in his path, but his dream of a better life kept him   4  .At 14, he began taking part-time jobs to support himself.  5   the demands on his time, he graduated from high school at the top of his class.

  Dad loved reading, and always looked for opportunities to   6   himself.One day, when he was sitting under a tree   7   in a book, a kind-hearted man saw him and asked him why he wasn't in school.Dad replied that he had no money for college.The man saw his   8   to study, and recommended him to Baguio College as a working student.Thanks to this man, Dad got his Bachelor of Arts degree, then went on to study Law and became a successful lawyer.He wrote a   9   read textbook on Philippine law.

  Looking at my father now, I can see that he is   10   a hardworking and determined man, pouring his energy into his career but without forgetting his family.When I was at school he never   11   to attend parent-teacher meetings or come to singing contests that I took part in.He put me and my brother through college and   12   us in our chosen careers.He gives us encouragement and tells us that education is the key to achieving any goal.

As dangerous as sharks may have seed to people after watching Jaws, which was released on June 20,1975, the recent disastrous decrease in their numbers show that people have proven far more dangerous to sharks.

    This disastrous decline is due in large part to commercial fishing of sharks. “The market for

shark fins(鱼翅)in East Asia opened up thanks to changes in their economy, increasing their

ability to spend money on things such as shark fin soup,” Burgess said.

However, the biggest worry for sharks and their relatives, the skates and rays, which are suffering a similar fate, “is how they are killed incidentally when fishermen try and take other fish—the problem of bycatch(渔业混获),” Burgess explained. “They may be thrown back afterward, but they’re still dead.”

The key of the problems behind bringing sharks back is that “they’re not the same as other fish,” Burgess said, “Sharks are slow growing and slow to reach maturity. Sharks are live bearers, which means females keep their young in their body just like us, but instead of nine months, it takes 12 to 18 months or more in sharks. Also, sharks generally can’t give birth again until a year after they’ve given birth—sometimes they’re on a three-year cycle. So once you get a shark population knocked down, this ‘life in the slow lane’ means that recovery is measured in decades rather than years.”\

Burgess said, “I’m on the recovery team for it, but the recovery plan for that is over the course of 100 years. So I won’t see them recover, nor will you, nor will your children. That’s what it means when these animals go down—they’re down a long time.”

Any measures aimed at saving sharks must not only consider byeatch, “which is the real killer right now,” but also encourage interactional cooperation, Burgess said.

“Sharks are very migratory, and many species cross borders,” he said. “We can protect them only by getting many govemment to come aboard. That’s the hardest part about this.”

The text mainly tells us       .

       A.shark fins are valuable    B.sharks are dangerous

       C.bycatch brings bad effects       D.sharks are in danger

The number of sharks is decreasing mostly because of      .

Dr.Ferguson energetically pushed the preparations for his departure,and in person directed the construction of his balloon.For a long time past he had been applying himself to the study of the Arab language and the various Mandingoe idioms,and,thanks to his talents in language,he had made rapid progress.

In the meanwhile,his friend,the sportsman,never let him out of

his sight-afraid,no doubt,that the doctor might take his departure,without saying a word to anybody.On this subject,he tried to discourage him with the most persuasive arguments,which,however,did NOT persuade Samuel Ferguson,and wasted his breath,by which the latter seemed to be but slightly moved.In fine,Dick felt that the doctor was slipping through his fingers.

? The poor Scot was really to be pitied.He could not look upon the

blue sky without a wild terror: when asleep,he felt dizziness(眩晕)that made his head turn around;and every night he had visions of crashing down from immeasurable heights.

We must add that,during these nightmares,he once or twice fell out of bed. His first care then was to show Ferguson a severe bump(肿块)that he had received on the fall.“And yet,”he

would add,with warmth,“that was at the height of only three feet一not an inch more一and such a bump as this! Only think,then!”

This appeal,full of sad meaning as it was,did not seem to touch the doctor's heart.Not even the shadow of a doubt was ever suggested;and Samuel made an intolerable misuse of the first person plural:“‘Our’balloon,‘our’ car ;‘our’expedition.”

???? Dick trembled at them,although he was determined not to go ; he did not want to annoy his friend.Let us also disclose the fact that,without knowing exactly why himself,he had sent to Edinburgh for a certain selection of heavy clothing,and his best hunting-tools and fire-arms.

1.Why did Dr.Ferguson start to learn new languages?

A.To keep himself occupied.

B.To get ready for the departure.

C.To show his talent in language.

D.To Know more about? balloon construction.

2.We Call infer from the passage that Dick ____.

A.suffered from a disease during the nights

B.got hurt in a fall from the balloon in the evening

C.decided to take the adventure with the doctor at last

D.equipped himself with arms to frighten his friend

3.Which word best describes Dr.Ferguson’s attitude towards his balloon flight?

A.Excited.???? B.Optimistic.? C.Worried.??? D.Determined

4.What’s the writing pattern of the passage?

A.News.?????? B.Fiction.???? C.Journal.?? D.Biography.
