CCTV cameras catch action In UK,Closed Circuit Television ( CCTV) cameras are everywhere. They help the police solve crimes and keep the streets safe .But that's not all they do. They also catch people doing very stupid or smart things.
One of the videos is of a British woman Mary Bale.She clearly doesn’t like cats. In 2010 she was caught on CCTV throwing one into a dustbin. The video shows Mary walking down a quiet street. All of a sudden,she notices Lola the cat jump onto a fence. Mary stops to pick up Lola and drops her into a large dustbin. Lola was saved fifteen hours later.And Mary was arrested for causing unnecessary suffering to an animal. She was fined (罚款) £ 250 and was not allowed to own pets for five years.
Another video shows ‘‘Britain's drunkest man”. He's been at a party at London's Savoy Hotel. And he’d obviously had a few too many glasses of beer. At about 2 a. m., he was kicked out for being too drunk.So,he decided to walk home. On the way,CCTV cameras filmed him falling down stairs and crossing the roads madly...A Savoy Hotel waiter later said, “It's amazing he didn't hurt himself badly." Sometimes they also record smart events. Once a British band The Get Out Clause didn't have any money to make a music video. So,they came up with an unbelievable idea.They set up their instruments ( 乐器 ) and played a song in front of eight CCTV cameras. And then,according to the English Freedom of Information Act,they asked for a copy of all the footages (视频) ，which they edited. The result is that a totally new music video was made,and it didn't cost them a penny.

Passage 12(2011黑龙江哈尔滨，A)
Venice is an attractive city in Italy.Tourists throughoul ihe world love traveling to Venice. But sometimes you’ll have such strange expe- riences.One moment you walk across tlie Rialto Bridge ,and there ’s nothing speoial.Unfortunately,when you come back to the bridge an hour later,it’s underwater and everyone's wearing rain hoots.
That?s just the way it has always been,which may be considered seriously by Italian government. Before the sea comes to Venice,the government has decided to build the MOSE gates. Actually (实际上) , there were many kinds of gates that were built to stop the floods,hut all the gates were just built on the ground. Besides,the flooding was becoming worse. Industrial (工业的) factories buill nearby on the mainland also made the condition get worse,causing the city to sink about 0. 75 feet in the 20th century.
So the Italian government asked some of Italy's biggest construction and engineering companies to build the MOSE project,which was planned to be built under the sea water to stop floods. Now the government are using 3 000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion euros (欧元) on it.The MOSE gates are being built at the inlets (海湾) .Each MOSE gate is 197 feet long,28. 5 to 37 feet tall,and weighs up to 22 tons. It's nearly the size of a 20-story building. Before the gates are in use,they are under the sea and full of water. When the flood comes,the water in the gates will be poured out,and then the gates will be filled with air. So the gates can go up with the sea water. Once they’re in the right place,they will stop the sea water pouring into Venice.These gates will be able to deal with floods up to 10 feet,and as long as the sea level (平面) rises no more than two feet in the next 100 years,the MOSE will work as expected.
The MOSE project is now two-thirds done.The head engineer,Giovanni Cecconi,said, uThis is a war.During the war,it's not impor?tant that you win. Ifs important that youVe alive. We're alive. 'Anyway,this project is saving Venice from falling.

A. 建筑 B. 农业 C. 交通
2. Before building the MOSE gates,the Italian government stop the floods.
A. never built gates on the ground
B. built many kinds of gates on the ground
C. built some gates which were under the ground
3. When the flood comes, can describe the working steps of the MOSE gates.
A. a—?b—>c B. b——>^c C. b—>c—?a
4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The Italian government are using 3 000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion dollars on the MOSE.
B. The MOSE project is half done now.
C. Each MOSE gate is 197 feet long,28. 5 to 37 feet tall,and weighs up to 22 tons.

Passage 4(2015 湖北黄冈)
Recently the students in our school all take pari in sports. They fall into three groups.
The students who put much more stress on their study go to the playground.They just want to go back to their classrooms with a clearer and quicker mind. Most of them choose long-distance running. So they can be well regarded as study-oriented (倾向的) sports participants ( 参加者 ) .
The students in the second group are real sports lovers.They put aside their studies for a match. They join in the sport that interests them most.They may be called fun-oriented sports participants.

Bollywood ： the Hollywood of India
You might be surprised to learn that India produces about 800 movies a year,and that number continues to grow.Just as the movie capital of the United States is Hollywood,the movie capital of India is Bombay (孟买) ，but it is usually called “Bollywood”，a combination (结合) of the words Bombay and Hollywood.
No Bollywood movie is thought complete without a few songs and dances.In fact,music is an important part of Bollywood movies. Even a bad movie can still do well if the music is good.

Bollywood stars are followed by news reporters just as often as Hollywood stars.The personal lives of actors and actresses catch the headlines (头版头条) ，just as they do in the United States.
The Oscars are a very exciting time of the year for actors and actresses in America. Bollywood has its own form of the Oscars,and they are also very exciting.

阅读下面短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。每空一词。
Many people would like to watch sports matches.First,you need to know about audience manners.
Most sporting arenas (竞技场) have rules for audience written on the back oi the tickets. Read your ticket carefully before you arrive.Try to reach your seat half an hour before the start of the event and don't leave when a game is in progress. When you leave,remember to take away your soft drink bottles and other rubbish.
During exciting games,try to control yourself.Don’t criticize (批评) the performance of players and coaches. Be careful with your words,since some may cause anger among other people in the audience.
Clapping is a special form of body language you can use to communicate wilh players,but you should do it properly. When players first appear,clap your hands together to welcome them,but don't go on for too long. After an excellent performance,clap warmly. If someone fails,your clapping will help encourage them.
Clapping is not welcome,however,while players need to keep their attention. Various sports have various rules for the audience.
Enjoy artistic gymnastics ( 体操 ) silently. But lots of cheering can really help basketball and football players. When you watch snooker and table tennis matches,flash photography is not allowed. Mobile phones are not allowed in shooting centers.
To be a good audience,you should take time to learn the game particular rules and related culture of each event.
