  “Hello?” she asked in a louder voice. “Hello, anybody?”

  There was still no answer. Dinah began to cry. She stood up and began walking forward slowly along the port side aisle (走廊). “Keep count!” part of her mind warned. “Keep count how many rows you pass, or you'll get lost and never find your way back again.” She stopped at the port side row seats just ahead of the row in which she and Aunt Vicky had been sitting and bent, arms outstretched, fingers splayed. She was hoping to touch the sleeping face of the man sitting here. She knew there was a man here, because Aunt Vieky had spoken to him only a minute or so before the plane took off. When he spoke back to her, his voice had come from the seat directly in front of Dinah's own. She knew that; marking the locations of voices was part of her life, an ordinary fact of existence like breathing. The sleeping man would jump up when her outstretched fingers touched him, but Dinah was beyond eating.

  Except the seat was empty.

  Completely empty.

  Dinah straightened again, her cheek wet, her head pounding with fright. They couldn't have been to the washroom together, could they? Of course not. Perhaps there were two washrooms. In a plane this big there must be two washrooms. Except that didn't matter, either.

  Aunt Vicky wouldn't have left her purse, no matter what, Dinah was sure of that.

  She began to walk slowly forward, stopping at each row of seats, reaching into the two closest to her, aiming to find someone. Nobody; the other, no. The other rows, no, no, still no! Every seat she investigated was empty.

  This can't be! This just can't be! She thought wildly. They were all around as when we got on! I heard them! I felt them! —where have they all gone?

  At some point, while she slept, her aunt and everyone else on Flight 29 had disappeared!

1.It is inferred from the passage that ________.

[  ]

A.no one in the plane answered Dinah because they were sleeping

B.all the people, including Aunt Vicky had got off the plane while Dinah was sleeping

C.all the people, including Aunt Vicky had somehow disappeared without Dinah's acknowledge

D.Aunt Vicky had really gone to the washroom with the man

2.There is one sentence missing in the passage. Which of the following do you think is the best to fill in the blank?

[  ]

A.I saw them!

B.I smelled them!

C.I touched them!

D.I tasted them!

[  ]

A.she loved to touch people's faces

B.she had to because she was blind

C.she didn't want to open her eyes

D.she was toe frightened to open her eyes

  Watching 3D films such as Avatar could give some viewers headaches, experts have warned.

  The success of James Cameron's science-fiction blockbuster(卖座的大片), which has already taken more than $1 billion(£600 million)at the box office, is fuelling a surge in popularity for three-dimensional movies and new 3D television sets.

  But prolonged viewing may result in an aching head, according to Dr Michael Rosenberg, an ophthalmology(眼科学)professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago.

  He said:"There are a lot of people walking around with very minor eye problems, for example a minor muscle imbalance, which under normal circumstances the brain deals with naturally."

  Watching a 3D movie confronts viewers with an entirely new sensory experience."That translates into greater mental effort, making it easier to get a headache," he said.

  Dr Deborah Friedman, a professor of ophthalmology and neurology(神经学)at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York, said:"If your eyes are a little off to begin with then it's really throwing a whole degree of effort that your brain now needs to exert.This disparity for some people will give them a headache."

  Experts say there are no studies tracking how common it is to get a headache after watching a 3D film.

  Rick Heineman, a spokesman for RealD, which provides 3D equipment to cinemas, said headaches and nausea were the main reasons 3D technology never took off before.

  But he said new digital technology addresses many of the problems that had previously caused sore heads.

(1)

What can we learn from what Dr Michael Rosenberg said?

[  ]

A.

A lot of people prefer walking around with very minor eye problems to sitting silently watching 3D films.

B.

The brain can deal with very minor eye problems under normal circumstances naturally.

C.

A lot of people haven’t got very minor eye problems when viewing films under normal circumstances.

D.

People come into very minor eye problems and a minor muscle imbalance when watching 3D films.

(2)

What does the underlined word “prolonged” in the 3rd paragraph mean?

[  ]

A.

continuous

B.

constant

C.

regular

D.

long-time

(3)

According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

[  ]

A.

It has taken less than $1 billion to make the popularity of three-dimensional movies and new 3D television sets.

B.

Watching a 3D movie leaves viewers confronted with an entirely new sensory experience.

C.

There are studies tracking how common it is to get a headache after watching a 3D film.

D.

Rick Heineman said that 3D technology would never take off headaches and nausea in future.

(4)

What’s the main idea of the passage?

[  ]

A.

The expert warns the readers not to watch 3D films because of resulting in an aching head.

B.

New digital technology gives viewers headaches and eye problems.

C.

The experts are studying how to get rid of many of the problems that have previously caused sore heads.

D.

Viewing 3D films may result in some side-effect problems such as headaches.
