    If you’ve ever seen a James Bond movie you’ll know that the hero gets around in a smart Aston Martin car. Even if you know full well that you could never afford such an expensive vehicle, you don’t forget the name, or the car. Why? You have been subjected to product placement.
    Companies pay for a film to place their products in the movie. Product placement took off in the West in the 1980s and is now catching on in China. Two Hunan Satellite TV series are recent examples：Ugly Wudi and Let’s Go Watch the Meteror Shower（《一起去看流星雨》）. Shampoo, mobile phones, cars— anything can be product-placed. Advertisers value the great appeal (吸引力) of the movies, knowing that a successful film can showcase their goods to hundreds of thousands of viewers. But when product placement takes over, artistic value can take a back seat.
    Cai Zhiyong has been product-placing for years. The Beijing-based advertiser admits there is a conflict between art and business. He explains cash-strapped filmmakers often have to sacrifice (牺牲) the quality of their work because they need money from advertisers. In the original story for Meteor Shower, the heroine’s mother owned an ice cream shop. But no ice cream company wanted to give away money to the film. For this reason, the story was changed. In the film the man drinks 20 cups of milk tea where it was originally intended that he would eat ice cream.
    Even here incredible, you may see the power of business over the movies, since the flim was perhaps written so that a product could be placed— whether it was ice cream or milk tea.
    James Bond movies are mentioned in the first paragraph to show _________.
    A. how popular James Bond is      B. how great the Aston Martin car is
    C. how to make a movie more artistic   D. how well product placement works
    Product placement can have a bad effect on the _________ of a movie.
    A. sound effect            B. appeal       
    C. commercial success         D. artistic value
    What does the underlined word “cash-strapped” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
    A. Short of money.        B. Self-moneymaking
    C. With a lot of cash.           D. Intending to earn money
    We can learn from the example of Meteor Shower that __________.
    A. business has a big say in the movie 
    B. the original story was not good for a movie
    C. filmmakers care more about making money.
    D. milk tea companies are more successful than ice cream companies.

    My son and I were trying to sell the house we had repaired but in the barn(谷仓)there were bats(蝙蝠)and they would not leave. The barn was their home. They told us so in their own way. They hung there in the barn and seemed determined to stay for the season. Don’t worry about it, Dad, " Patrick said. They keep down the mosquitoes(蚊子).”
    Unfortunately they also kept the buyers away. when we had asked a person to sell　the house for us he had refused to show it because of the bats. Bats are popular, “Patrick comforted me. They’re ecological(生态学的).”Isn’t there a machine you can buy that produces high frequency sounds to keep bats away?” “I don’t know,” said Patrick. But I like bats, and whoever buys this house will probably like them too. “Probably?” I hated that word. “How many bats are　there ,anyway?” “I counted about 90 last night,” said Patrick. “They were dropping out from under the edge of the roof.” “You mean there are more — outside?” “They’re everywhere, Dad. But look at it this way. When the cold weather comes, they’ll be off to Mexico. Maybe in the spring we can keep them out. Don’t worry about it,” he said for the hundredth time. “It’s not a problem.”
    The bat expert I called was even more active than Patrick. I think you’ve got a large number there,” he said in wonder, I’ve been trying to attract bats to our house for 25 years. A single bat eats up his weight in mosquitoes and black flies three times every night. You’re a very lucky man.” I offered to share my luck with him. He could take them away. Bats have a remarkable homing instinct(本能),”he said, “They’d fly straight back even if I transported them 100 miles. Once they have settled, you can’t stop them from coming back.” I was silent.
    Finally we managed to rent “(出租)the house to a young family, who were also interested in buying it. What about the bats?” I said to Patrick.
    “Oh, they love the bats,” he said. “No mosquitoes. No black flies. It’s one of the things that attracted them.”
    “Do you think they will really buy the blouse?”
    “Probably.”
    “Probably? Well, if they do ,I suppose I’ll have to admit that I was wrong.”
    “You mean you’re going to eat your words?”
    “Yes, I am.”
    36.  What was the problem the author had with his house?
    A.?Bats were living in the barn and wouldn't go away.
    B.?The author and his son couldn't sleep well because of the bats.
    C.?The author and his son might be able to stay for the season.
    D.?The house was still badly in need of repair.
    37.?What did Patrick suggest the author should do to stop the bats living in the barn?
    A.?He should buy a high frequency machine.
    B.?He should move them one hundred miles away.
    C.?He should reduce the number of mosquitoes.
    D.?He should close the barn in the spring.
    38.?Why did the author fall silent when he talked with the bat specialist?
    A.?He felt sure about the situation.
    B.?He found out that it would be impossible to remove the bats.
    C.?He learned that he would be able to share his luck with the expert.
    D.?He liked the advice given by the expert.
    39?What happened regarding the house in the end?
    A.?Some people agreed to rent the house.
    B.?The author failed to find anybody who wanted to live in the house.
    C.?The bat expert made the decision to buy the house.
    D.?The bats left the house for Mexico in the spring.
    40.?Why did the author think he might have to “eat his words”?

    B.?He might be mistaken about being unable to sell the house.
    C.?He realized he might be wrong about the bats’ actions.
    D.?He was happy about selling the house.

    IN a 30-minute film called The Chase, a girl tries to catch a thief and finally takes him down with martial arts (武术) skills.
    Anything special? Thirteen-year-old US girl Sophia Tran wrote, shot and performed in the film. She played the girl in the movie and her father, Steven, played the thief.
    Now an eighth-grader at Ladera Ranch Middle School, California, Tran wrote The Chase over the summer of 2008. She shot the film in the fall of 2008 before holding the premiere (首映式) at her home in January the next year.
    “It is important to have passion in filmmaking or you are not going to make it,” the quiet teenager said with a smile. “Also, you should read a lot of books about filmmaking.”
    Tran thinks that many screenplays don't have any “suspense (悬念) as the film progresses.” She is now working on a movie which she says will be a suspense story.
    Steven says his daughter has enjoyed drama and action movies since she was 7.
    “She started to be interested in how stories are adapted (改编) to a screenplay,” Steven said. “And she wrote her own books when she was in second grade.”
    But Tran also has a big heart. She sold DVD copies of her film The Chase for $10 each to family and friends. She then donated $400 from the DVD sales to her school to buy new computers.

    A. a thief          B. a doctor                       C. a girl           D. a police woman

    Watson entered Mr Smith’s office. The Boss was a hard man. He fired people who didn’t do well without giving them a second chance.
    “Watson,” said Mr Smith, “this past year your department hasn’t earned money. We’re going to drop that department. It’s finished. I’ m sorry, —but you’ll have to go.” “But, sir—if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”
    “What’s that!” said the Boss. “Riverside! I didn’t know you had a boy there. That’s an expensive school for a man with your salary.”
    “1 know, sir. But he likes it there so much! He’s a star trackman（田径运动员） and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ（冠军） there.”
    The Boss sat perfectly still for a long time—a faraway （恍惚的） look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, “We’ve got to close your department, Watson. But you’ll take over a new job in another department. It means longer hours—maybe more pay. Now get out. You’re here for life.”
    Watson got out, with surprise in his face. Then the Boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie’s last letter from Riverside School —written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain. The letter read:
    I can’t say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were. I guess it’s the same everywhere when you’re a cripple (跛脚的人). But don’t worry about me, Dad. They’ve got a good chemistry department here. And there’s one boy here who is really great. He’s a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best friend I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ. Something big—that he won’t even know about.
    Your son,
    Herbie

    Culture means any human behavior that is learned in human society. All of the meaningful parts of a culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning. From this view point, all human groups have a culture. Culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies.
    Culture is necessary for the survival and existence of human beings as human beings. Practically everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do is learned through taking part in a socio-cultural system. This statement is well supported by some well-written cases. Here is one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society. In the province of Kidnaper in India, the director of a children’s home was told by local villagers that there were “ghost（鬼）” in the forest. Upon looking into the case, the director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living with a pack of wolves in the forest. These children were the ghosts described by the local people. In his diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala(as the older child was named) and Amala(the name given to the younger child).
    Kamala was a terrible-looking being—the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulders. Close at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first, but smaller in size. Their eyes were very bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. They were very fond of raw meat and raw milk. Gradually, as they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours like squirrels. Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human behavior by taking part in a cultural community. They learn a certain human language as well as certain kinds of human behavior through their membership in a certain cultural community.
    1. From the passage we can learn that               .
    A. human beings can develop human abilities only if they are raised by their biological parents
    B. Amala and Kamala were raised in forest by ghosts
    C. human beings will not grow up human unless they are raised by human beings in human culture
    D. culture refers only to the high art and classical music of a particular society
    2. Who were the “ghosts” of the Kidnapper forest seen by the local villagers?
    A. They were two children Amala and Kamala, who ran on fours.
    B. They were two squirrels, Amala and Kamala, who ran on fours.
    C. They were two young wolves, Amala and Kamala, whose eyes were bright and sharp.
    D. They were two children, Amala and Kamala, who were growing up in a children’s home.
    3. How would you understand the description by the director “they began going on all fours,” in his
    diary?
    A. They began to continue with all their four eyes.
    B. They started walking with their four feet.
    C. They began going with their four hands.
    D. They started walking with both their hands and feet.
    4. Which of the following do you think is the best title to this passage?
    A. Wolf-children                                   B. Culture and Human Behavior
    C. Culture and Language Learning              D. A director’s Diary

    You need to know when the events of a text take place. This will help you to see the __21__ of the text — the reason things happen in a certain order. Some texts   22   a period of many years, like Wuthering Heights. Others go through a __23__ period of time — many poems try to capture one moment in time. Narrators (讲述者) can be immediate eyewitness, or they may be __24     the past. Some texts present two views of events: an eyewitness version, and a second version, __25__ on the same events much later. This happens in Great Expectations, where the narrator, Pip, sometimes speaks and acts like a __26__, and sometimes like a mature adult. Look out for the __27__ that the events fit together, and how they are caused. This is called the plot—the story of the text. Action in a text is either__28__, or happens by chance. Take notes on how the action is described, eg. if the tone is angry or __29__ . Try to work out how the language of the passage is being used to create the tone, the characters and the descriptions. You should also ask why the text has been written in the way it has — your notes on who, what, when, where and how will help you to    30    your own conclusions.
    21. A. structure                    B. content                     C. character                  D. substance

    I have said enough to you about the fact that no two native speakers of English speak it alike, but perhaps you are clever enough to ask me whether I myself speak it in the same way.
    I must    21     at once that I do not. Nobody does. I am at present speaking to an audience of many thousands of gramophonists（学话者）, many of    22     are trying hard to follow my words, syllable by syllable. If I were to speak to you as carelessly as I speak to my wife at home, this record would be    23    ; and if I were to speak to my wife at home as carefully as I am speaking to you, she would think that I was going mad.
    As a public speaker I have to take care that every word I say is heard clearly at the far    24    of large halls containing thousands of people. “But at home, when I have to consider only my wife sitting    25     six feet of me at breakfast, I take so little pains with my speech that very often,    26     giving me the expected answer, she says, “Don’t mumble, and don’t turn you head away when you speak. I can’t hear a word you are saying.” And she also is a little careless. Sometimes I have to say “what” two or three times during our meal. And she    27     me of growing deafer and deafer, though she does not say so, because, as I am now over seventy, it might be true.
    We all have company manners. If you were to    28     a strange family and to listen through the keyhole before going in---not that I would suggest for a moment that you are capable of doing such a very unladylike or ungentlemanlike thing; but still, if, in your enthusiasm for studying languages you could bring yourself to do it just for a few seconds to hear how a family speak to one another when there is    29     listening to them, and then walk into the room and hear how very    30     they speak in your presence, the change would surprise you. Even when our home manners are as good as our company manners---and of course they ought to be better --- they are always different; and the difference is greater in speech than in anything else.
    21.  A. admit                     B. accept               C. refuse               D. deny
    22.  A. them                B. who                  C. whom               D. us
    23   A. useful               B. important          C. useless              D. helpful
    24.  A. side                 B. end                   C. distance             D. length
    25.   A. within               B. at                            C. from                 D. by
    26.   A. other than         B. except for          C. apart form         D. instead of

    29.   A. nobody else       B. nobody             C. someone else     D. someone
