三、 阅读理解。(每小题1.5分,共15分)
A
Where in the world can you take an hour’s train ride, and pass through a forest, a London street, a scene from the Wild West, and a burning building that never burns down? There’s only one place, and that’s Hollywood, in California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets(布景) in the Universal Studios, one of the oldest and largest movie companies in the USA.
A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But they are only memories. Hollywood isn’t quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old ones.
The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. But older people mostly stay at home to watch series like Dynasty, which have become as important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These“soap operas”, as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them.
Though it is soap operas that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new centre, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don’t need Hollywood any more. They use modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower costs.
But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.
( C )1. From the passage, we know Universal Studios is .
A. a very large park B. a busy London street
C. a famous movie company D. an old Hollywood movie
( B )2. The movie industry in California isn’t as successful as before because .
A. young people don’t go to movie theatres any more
B. there is strong competition from other states
C. its movie companies are in need of young stars
D. the state hasn’t put a development plan into action

( A )3. Which of the following seems to be a threat(威胁) to Hollywood?
A. The use of modern cameras and other equipment.
B. The interest of middle-aged film stars.
C. The making of TV series like Dynasty.
D. The expensively made copies of scenes.
( D )4. What can we learn about“soap operas”from the passage?
A. They are teenagers’favourites. B. They are much more expensive.
C. They are less attractive. D. They are cheaper and easier to make.

( A )5. The passage mainly tells us .
A. something about the film industry in the USA

They say that“travel is the best teacher”. And there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake(1587-1641). His book The Travels of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged the love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country’s land and geography.
Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. Later, Xu’s father died. It seemed that his travelling dreams died too. He was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his mother as tradition required.
But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son’s love for travelling, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.
So in his twenties and with his mother’s support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming Kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 2,600,000 words, would eventually become The Travels of Xu Xiake.
Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived.
However, his willingness to face hardships came at a cost. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys.
Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his home town for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world.
( A )6. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The general details of Xu Xiake’s life story.
B. The difficulties Xu Xiake faced in his travels.
C. The important discoveries made by Xu Xiake.
D. The influence of Xu’s book The Travels of Xu Xiake.
( D )7. Which of the following best describes Xu’s mother?
A. Strict but interesting. B. Kind but uneducated.
C. Helpful and hard-working. D. Supportive and open-minded.
A
D
( C )8. Why did Xu prefer walking during his travels?
A. It gave him the chance to meet different kinds of people.
B. It helped him to save money and travel for a longer time.
C. It allowed him to see and study the environment in detail.
D. It was the only way to reach the places he was interested in.
( A )9. Which is true about The Travels of Xu Xiake?
A. It was only made public after Xu died.
B. It made Xu very famous during his lifetime.
C. It was the first travel book ever written in China.
D. It was mainly about the different people of China.
C
A
( B )10. What is the correct order of the following events in Xu’s life?
a. He went on his first journey. b. His book was finally printed.
c. He returned to his home town for the last time.
d. He developed an interest in books about other places.
e. He started managing the family farm after his father died.

A) 请认真阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Some scientists at the Ohio State University, the USA, have found that sad movies can make people happier. They published their study in Communication Research.
Scientists asked 361 college students 1. to watch (watch) a sad movie called Atonement. 2. The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated. They died during the war at the end of the movie. The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feelings, including 3. sadness (sad).
to watch
The
sadness
According to the result of the survey, scientists found out that people felt 4. better (good) after watching the sad movie. Scientists believed this was 5. because the movie made them think about their own lives and relationships. Compared with the 6. unlucky (luck) lovers in the movie, their lives were full of hope.
“I want to live my life to the fullest, and this movie has made me think a lot,”one student wrote.

unlucky
Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, one of the researchers, 7. explained (explain) that bad moods would make people think more. “Good 8. moods (mood) are generally a sign that everything is fine. You don’t have to worry, and you don’t have to think about problems in your life,”she said.“But bad emotions, like sadness, make you feel terrible 9. about your situation. Therefore, 10. seeing (see) a sad movie may make you feel bad, but that will cause you to think more about your own close relationships and value them more.”

七、 (2022·齐齐哈尔)任务型阅读。(每小题2分,共10分)
Once there were four beggars(乞丐). One day, they met at an old temple at night. They were very upset because none of them had much to eat.
“I only got this piece of meat today,”the first said.“I almost got nothing,”the second said.“I just picked up a potato outside the vegetable store during the day.”The third said that all he had was a small bottle of salt. The fourth beggar had not done much better, “I only got some old beans, but they aren’t very nice!”
As they sat around the fire, the beggar with only a bottle of salt had a great idea. “Let’s put all our things together and boil them. In this way, we can make a tasty dish and share it.” They all agreed. However, the first beggar thought, “I don’t want to share. I’ll just pretend to throw my meat into the pot. They’ll never know and I’ll eat my meat alone later.” So he pretended to put the meat into the pot. And at the same time the other beggars had similar ideas to him. At that time, the temple was too dark for the beggars to see what the others were doing.
Finally, one of them suggested that the dish should be ready and, in turn, each of them helped himself to it. They drank the hot water in silence, learning that selfishness(自私) doesn’t taste all that good.
