You may surf the internet to choose some films for the long holidays. Read the following introductions for movies that are showing at the moment. And then answer questions.

Happiness (Romance) ★★★★

Happiness tells the story of two people (Lisa Turbot and Danny Roy) who work for different advertising companies. They talk on the phone all the time and don’t like each other. But then they correspond by e-mail and fall in love. This movie will be very popular with teenagers and people who like romances. It also has beautiful music.

I scream (Thriller ) ★★    

In I scream, Paul (Colin Jacks) is a young man who joins a thriller club. Each of the members tries to frighten the others. Paul is told to stay in an old house for the night. Everyone who has tried to stay in the house before has died. This movie is very frightening but also quite silly. It doesn’t make sense for Paul to stay in the house when things start to go wrong. Only for people who like thrillers.

Paul’s Heroes (Comedy) ★★★  

This is very funny war movie set in World War Two. Six soldiers (including Sammy Turblow) have to get to Italy to take secret messages to the American army there. During the movie, they dress up as women and fight with Italian workers. You can guess the ending, but it’s great fun getting there.

(Drama ) ★★★★

   This is a very good drama with Jack Ross, who plays a hard-working truck driver. His wife becomes ill and he has to find a doctor who can help her. In his travels he meets Dr Lloyd (Phidl Driver) who has found the cure for the illness, but Jack Ross has only twelve hours to get the medicine back to his wife on the other side of America.

  项涂黑。

     Increasingly over the last few years,we have become familiar with the range of small electronic devices or  “smart” accessories (附件,饰品 ) . Pocket heart -rate monitors for joggers and electronic maps are just the first examples of many new products that promise to change our lives in all sorts of surprising ways.

     As a scientist at New York University . Rosalind Picard tries out different smart accessories before they go on the market.  One of these was the so-called " frown (皱眉)headband". Rosalind was shocked to realize just how often she frowned. Stuck in a traffic jam recently, Rosalind kept hearing the sounds of the tiny sensor inside the band worn around her forehead -each time she frowned in annoyance, the sensor gave out a signal.

     Another computer scientist , Stevcn Feiner, is working on a pair of glasses that will do more than help you to see .Imagine you want to try a restaurant in a foreign city but you're not familiar with the dishes on the menu.  If you are weanng a pair of Steven's glasses . all yau have to do is glance above the restauran’s doorway and your glasses will immediately become windows to the Tntemet, offering you full details of the meals served inside. The glasses could also be used to help people make speeches,give chefs access to the latest recipes and even provide doctors with

patient information while they carry out operations.

      At the moment, Steven's invention looks more like a large ski mask than a pair of glasses.

It's a headset connected to a hand-held computer and a Global Positioning  System  ( GPS ) receiver, which tracks the wearer's position. But he says that these head-worn displays will eventually get smaller and lighter as technology improves.

      And, of course, this new technology has a fashionable as well as a useful application. A chemical engineer named Roben Langer has invented a new microchip that, if put inside a ring,can give off different smells according to a person's mood. That, of course, may or may not appeal to you.  And,in the end , it is  shoppers . not scientiscs , who will determine which of these smart accessories will succeed as fashionable items and which are sure tO join history's long list of crazy inventions.

      It is clear,however ,that as computers get smaller and cheapcr.  Lhcy will pop up in all sorts

of easily-wearable accessories . even in the buttons on your coat.  WhaCs morc, this is something that's going to happen a lot sooner than we all expect.

41. When Rosalind wore the headband, she was surprised a___________

     A. how well the sensor worked           B. how she was affected by traffic

     C. how strong the signal was            D. how uncomfortable it was

 For people eating out , Steven’ s glasses can___________      

    A . give them a restaurant's location

    B.  let them see a restaurant's environment

    D.  tell them about a restaurant's quality

43. What is the current problem with Stevcn's glasses?

      A. Limited function.                B. Inconvenience.

      C. High cost.                       D. Poor Internet access.

44.  In general, what does the writer think about smart accessories?

Section C

Directions: Complete the following passage by using ONE word that best fits the context.

   The first religions started thousands of years ago, when people began to believe in spirits. These spirits were usually believed to control things such  48  fire, wind, water and animals. There are many tribes around the world who still follow this type of religion, and they believe that some spirits are good  49  others are dangerous. The people in these tribes often wear a necklace made from animal teeth or bones  50  they believe that this will protect them  51  sickness and harm.

  According to the traditional religious beliefs of  52  Karen tribe from western Thailand, there are spirits that live in houses, fields, water, rice, buffaloes and trees.  53  believe that the spirits must all be given presents of food because if they are  54  they will be great suffering and burdens for people to bear. The most important person in Karen village is the priest and he is consulted regularly about sacrifices and  55  ceremonies.

Every evening, 15-year-old Rashida returns home from school, changes out of her uniform, and rushes to a neighboring farm to help her mother harvest vegetables. Her father is disabled, so the modest profit（收益） the two of them earn must cover food, clothing and other necessities for all seven children and their parents. Despite having precious little time to study, Rashida is one of the top students at her junior secondary school. But with so much responsibility on her small shoulders, she admits that it is sometimes hard for her to imagine a more promising future.

Last year, Rashida was invited to join 155 other girls at Camfed Ghana’s first Girls’ Career Camp, a program designed to inspire girls growing up in the country’s Northern Region to dream big, and to support them to pursue those dreams. “We organized this camp because we wanted to let girls know that even if they are struggling with poverty, their lives will not be defined by limitations,” says Dolores Dickson, Camfed Ghana’s Executive Director.

Over the course of five days, the camp led the junior and secondary school students through a range of experiences and career opportunities that were entirely new to them.  Dr. Agnes Apusiga, a lecturer from the University of Development Studies, ran the workshop on goal-setting and career choices, describing the universities and training colleges in Ghana that could help them achieve their dreams. Participants then visited the University for Development Studies, where they toured the medical school and science labs. Another highlight was a workshop at the computer lab at Tamale Secondary School. Many of the girls had studied information technology from a book but had never before seen a computer.

“When the girls arrived at camp, they were not ambitious, because they didn’t have any idea what the world held for them,” says Eugenia Ayagiba, Project Officer with Camfed Ghana. “Many had scarcely traveled beyond their own villages.”

“I think the most important thing that happened at the camp is that we opened a window of hope for a group of girls coming from backgrounds of poverty,” says Eugenia. For Rashida, who has been laughed at in the past by her schoolmates because of her father’s disability, the experience was important. “She told one of the camp mentors(辅导员) that when she is at school, she often feels like a misfit, and she prefers to keep to herself,” says Eugenia. “But at the camp, it was different. She made friends with girls who have similar struggles. She took part in every single activity, every single game. On the last day, she said to her mentor, ‘The camp has challenged me to study hard. Now I see that there is light at the end of the tunnel.’

A. To show they are better than their schools

B. To encourage them to get good education.

C. To show them what they are like

D. To get them to touch the advanced equipment there

69. What can we infer from the passage?

B. Rashida’s mentors has encouraged her a lot.

C. Rashida was sad because of her father’s disability.

D. Rashida has had her new dream since the camp
