5．Jessica’s group members are keen on becoming volunteers and therefore are looking for some articles that can increase their chances of being chosen．

A． Wang’s little big ideas Apps are transforming smart phones into multi-tasking gadgets that can locate a good restaurant and even help you with your love life．As the iPhone4 hits China, Zhang Chunmei meets the Chinese programmer behind an App Store bestseller to find how a tiny idea can make a big difference and how apps influence our digital lifestyle． B． Showcase for talent Susan Boyle, you better watch out．Semifinal day on China’s Got Talent is fast approaching and these contestants（竞争者） just might push you off your pedestal （宝座）．Like them or hate them, there’s no denying the contestants are causing something of a stir across the country．The performers singled out on this page will certainly offer a show about which you’ll have something to say． C． Top of the crops You might think Fashion Week is about dresses rather than hairstyles．But you’d be wrong．Whether the models are in New York, London or Milan, who’s sporting the prettiest, trendiest or most shocking hairstyle is as hot a topic as the clothes on the catwalk．Despite the many hair highlights of the 2010 Fashion Week, we’ve managed to comb through the masses of material to pick a few of our favorites here． D． Movie messes with your head Driving home from a screening of Inception, my husband said to me: “I don’t know how you are going to write about this movie．” “What, you mean without giving anything away?” I asked．“No,” he said．“I don’t know how you are going to explain what it’s about．” The film, by writer-director Christopher Nolan, is a gorgeous（极好的）, technically perfect symphony（交响曲） of images and ideas． （E） Woods to split The marriage between the golf star and his wife is officially over．Official divorce papers state that “the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken”, thus bringing to an end the couple’s six-year marriage．Woods and Nordgren have lived apart since Woods’ November 2009 car crash, which was followed by Woods’ public admission of a series of affairs with other women． （F） Flowers set to bloom What exactly does it take for a young woman to be considered a “campus flower?” Some say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but surely there must be certain essential criteria．Perhaps we can get some answers by taking a closer look inside the training camp of the Universiade Star in Shenzhen, a competition organized to select the guides, waiters, torchbearers and flag bearers for the 2011 games． 【答案】DAECF 【解析】略 【题型】信息匹配 【适用】一般 【标题】20102011学年浙江省嘉兴市第一中学高一下学期期中考试英语卷 【关键字标签】浙江省嘉兴市第一中学，高一期中，英语 【结束】 12【题文】单词拼写（共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分） 根据下列句子及所给单词的首字母，在答题卷上按题号写出各单词的正确形式（每空限填一词）。 1.
