I couldn’t keep a secret if you told me and I like discovering new things and telling everyone about them. So I became a journalist(记者). Sounds simple and easy, right? But the life of a journalist is more exciting and much harder than that. It can come with pain and frustration (挫折).    Once I ran around in a dark, dangerous-looking street in the snow. I was trying to find a woman who (my editor had told me) “woke in the night to find water pouring on her head”. Somehow I found her. I took photos. I interviewed her, the building owner and the firemen. I wrote the story…Then I opened the paper to find it at the back, with no name on it, only 100 words long. Strangely, though, it made me want to keep going. If you succeed, the rewards of journalism are truly great. I once wrote about an old people’s home. People there, including a 90-year-old blind man, were living in rooms that were full of fleas (跳蚤). They were told to do their own repairs. A week after the story was published, people there phoned me, full of joy. The managers had said sorry to them and promised to change their ways. Journalism can be dangerous and boring, with long and changing work hours. And the pay (at least in the UK) is terrible. But it’s also one of the most exciting, rewarding jobs. For me, there is no better career than making a difference—and telling the world about it. 1．According to the writer, what can’t she do being a journalist? A．Writing different kinds of stories.

A．Disappointed. B．Happy. C．Scared. D．Encouraged. 3．What does the underlined word “rewards” mean in Paragraph 3? A．回报 B．惩罚 C．编辑 D．帮助 4．What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? A．How a journalist writes a good story. B．A journalist can sometimes help others and bring about changes in people’s lives. C．A journalist works long hours. D．It’s necessary for a journalist to care more about the poor. 5．What can we learn from the article? A．Working in journalism is easy. B．Journalists are usually well-paid. C．The writer loves her job as a journalist. D．The writer encourages people to work in journalism. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲作者从事记者职业的一些感受。 1．细节理解题。根据“It can come with pain and frustration (挫折).”可知当记者也有痛苦和挫折，故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“Then I opened the paper to find it at the back, with no name on it, only 100 words long. Strangely, though, it made me want to keep going.”可知作者辛苦写了新闻，结果报纸上只有100字，并且还没有署名，但作者却想要继续下去，说明作者被鼓舞了。故选D。 3．词义猜测题。根据“If you succeed, the rewards of journalism are truly great.”及下文可知作者成为记者，回报也是很大的，即“rewards”表示“回报”。故选A。 4．段落大意题。根据“If you succeed, the rewards of journalism are truly great.”及“The managers had said sorry to them and promised to change their ways.”可知本段主要讲作者成为记者之后的收获，她帮助养老院的人改善了他们的居住条件，故选B。 5．推理判断题。根据“For me, there is no better career than making a difference—and telling the world about it.”可知对作者来说记者的工作能起一定作用，有一些影响，故作者喜欢她的工作。故选C。 Movie-making factories are called studios. Like all other businesses, they have to follow the rules of good business. There is a person, called “the top man”, running the studio. He is usually someone with a powerful personality. His power of character is necessary so that the “boss” can deal with famous stars and rich investors(投资者). Some movie stars can only contract(签合同) with one studio. They cannot work for another. Big studios like Columbia, Fox, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer are the most important movie-making companies in Hollywood. Making a film takes a long time and is very hard work. Writing the story for the film needs many weeks. Shooting a film often takes at least six months. Actors and cameramen work from very early in the morning until late at night. Each scene has to be acted and reacted, filmed and refilmed, until it is just right. Sometimes the same scene has to be acted many times. The film studio is like a large factory, and the indoor stages are very big indeed. Scenery of all kinds is made in the studio. Churches, houses, castles, and forest are all built of wood and cardboard(纸板盒). Several hundred people work together to make one film. Some of these people are actors and actresses. The director of the film, however, is the most important person in a film studio. He decides how the scenes should be filmed and how the actors should act. Most people go to see a film because the film stars they like are in it. Sometimes the film may be very poor. It is best to choose a film made by a good director. Some famous directors make their films very real. People feel that they themselves are among the people in the film. 1．How many big studios are mentioned in the passage? A．3 B．4 C．5 D．6 2．The scenes have to be reacted and refilmed many times because ________.

A．they like the scenes in it B．their favourite film stars are in it C．they want to know who is the director D．they want to learn its story 5．We can probably see the passage in a(n) ________. A．newspaper B．magazine C．advertisement D．storybook 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文主要向我们介绍了电影公司的运作规律，同时分析了电影公司内部结构的组成，以及拍摄电影的过程。 1．细节理解题。根据“Big studios like Columbia, Fox, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer are the most important movie-making companies in Hollywood.”（像哥伦比亚、福克斯、米高梅这样的大制片公司是好莱坞最重要的电影制作公司）可知，提到了3个比较出名的制片公司。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“Each scene has to be acted and reacted, filmed and refilmed, until it is just right. Sometimes the same scene has to be acted many times.”可知，是为了把每个场景录得更加完美。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“The director of the film, however, is the most important person in a film studio. ”可知，制片公司中最重要的人是导演。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据“Most people go to see a film because the film stars they like are in it.”可知，大多数人去看电影是因为他们喜欢的电影明星在里面。故选B。 5．推理判断题。本文介绍的是电影公司的运转流程以及结构，属于科普杂文类，出现在杂志中的可能性最大。故选B。 When people discover that I work as a film and TV extra (临时演员), they always ask me the same questions, “Emily, is it easy to get work? Isn’t it boring? Do you get to meet famous actors? Does it pay well?” My answers are pretty standard as well, “Yes, sometimes, once in a while, and...kind of. The life of an extra is both more interesting and more boring than you might imagine.” Extras, who play the people in crowds, on streets, or in the background of indoors scenes, can come from all walks of life. Unlike many extras, I’m a trained actor. I do get real speaking roles, but work can be hard to come by if you’re not a popular star. I’m registered (注册) with an agency that deals only with extras, so I get calls all the time. The agency explains who I’ll be someone in a crowd, a member of a jury, a clerk and tells me where to go. Call time is usually bright and early, so I try to get to bed at a reasonable hour. Sometimes being an extra is a “hurry up and wait” job. In my first extra role, I was one of a group of office workers who come out of a building just as a car explodes (爆炸) in the street. We waited for hours for the scene to be shot, and then went in and out of the building about fifty times, trying to act terrified by an explosion which was not real. Then we had lunch, changed clothes, and spent the afternoons as customers in a department store. It may sound like I don’t enjoy the work, but I do. Being part of the background in a convincing (令人信服的) way is challenging, and being on a film or TV set is always fascinating. A lot of famous actors don’t even notice the extras, but the ones who do make the job a lot of fun for everyone. As for the money, it’s nothing compared to what the big actors make, but it pretty much pays the bills. And, as a bonus, I’ve beaten my high scores on all my phone games. Thanks to all the time I spend sitting around, waiting for something to happen. 1．Why does Emily give standard answers? A．Because she is proud of her job. B．Because she wants to hide her feelings. C．Because she thinks it’s unnecessary to explain. D．Because they are the exact answers to the questions. 2．What does Emily think of her job? A．Busy. B．Enjoyable. C．Fashionable. D．Easy. 3．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Emily is a trained actor. B．Emily doesn’t get real speaking roles. C．Emily tries to get to bed at a unreasonable hour. D．Emily was one of a group of cleaners in her first extra role. 4．According to the passage, what can we know? A．The famous actors look down upon the extras. B．Being an extra is always a “hurry up and wait” job. C．Emily tells the truth about being a film and TV extra. D．Those who want to be on a film or TV extras must be trained. 5．What can we infer about Emily? A．She often pays the bills for others. B．She sometimes has to get up very early. C．She has beaten all the phone game players. D．She was in face of danger in her first extra role. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文作者艾米莉是一名临时演员，她讲述了自己对临时演员这份工作的认识，以及自己做临时演员的经历和感受。 1．推理判断题。根据“Emily, is it easy to get work? Isn’t it boring? Do you get to meet famous actors? …”可知，人们经常询问艾米莉诸如“找工作容易吗？、报酬高吗？”等问题，艾米莉总是回以简单的回答，故可知她认为解释这些问题没有必要，所以回答的很标准简短。故选C。 2．观点态度题。根据“The life of an extra is both more interesting and more boring than you might imagine.”及“It may sound like I don’t enjoy the work, but I do.”可知，艾米莉喜欢临时演员的工作，她认为临时演员比人们想象中的要有趣和无聊；所以总体来说，她认为这份工作是令人愉快的。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Unlike many extras, I’m a trained actor.”可知艾米莉是一个训练有素的演员，A项正确。故选A。 4．推理判断题。通读全文可知，艾米莉讲述了关于临时演员这份工作的一些真实情况。故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据“Call time is usually bright and early, so I try to get to bed at a reasonable hour.”可知，通告时间通常是大清早，所以艾米莉有时会早早起床。故选B。 How do you spend your spare time?

Indoor activities without moving are more popular. Most people in the study spend most of their free time watching TV (85%) or playing computer games(81%). “This causes over-weight, greater stress and more physical and emotional(情绪的) illnesses,” says Richard Louv, a nature writer. In fact, outdoor activities such as taking a friend along, kicking around a ball and taking photos can help. It is important for kids to play outside. Firstly, outdoor activities open up your senses. You will feel better after spending time outside. “Surfing, camping and fishing help bring all of your senses to life,” says Betsy Keller, a professor at Ithaca College in New York. “Smell, sight ... they’re all active when you’re outside.” With your senses getting stronger, you’ll feel free and more creative. Playing outside helps your body. When playing outside, you can be on hills, beaches or lakes instead of a flat floor. Different areas offer special fun and challenge your strength and balance. It also helps keep your body’s clock on track so that you sleep better at night and feel less sleepy during the day. Outdoor play also makes your mind relax. Too much time indoors, such as watching TV or activities in non-green areas, may make it hard for kids to focus their attention and easy to feel stressed out. But staying in the nature helps them concentrate and lowers their stress levels. Besides, spending time outdoors brings you closer to the environment. Hearing the leaves crackle underfoot, breathing in fresh air, walking through the woods in search of cool birds remind you of the beauty of the nature. You needn’t go to the countryside.________ . It can be your own backyard or that block of trees at the end of the street. So the next time you sit down to spend time with a TV, consider treating yourself to a little outdoor play instead. 1．The first paragraph mainly tells us ________. A．kids spend more time playing video games now B．kids can take part in different kinds of activities C．too many indoor activities are not good for kids’ health D．outdoor activities will become more popular in the future 2．How many advantages of outdoor activities are mentioned? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 3．Which of the following is the best to fill in “ ” in the passage? A．There are bits of nature everywhere. B．You can enjoy yourself in the countryside. C．There are more and more parks today. D．You should protect the beautiful nature. 4．The purpose of the passage is to ________. A．tell kids ways how to deal with stress B．remind people of the happy old times C．introduce different kinds of outdoor activities D．encourage kids to spend more time outdoors 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．D 【分析】短文介绍了密歇根大学的一项研究，在21世纪初，孩子们每周花在户外活动上的时间比20世纪80年代初的孩子们少了两个小时。不动的室内活动更受欢迎。作者号召大家多参与户外活动并介绍了户外活动的好处。 1．细节理解题，根据第一段中“Most people in the study spend most of their free time watching TV (85%) or playing computer games(81%).研究中的大多数人把大部分空闲时间都花在看电视(85%)或玩电脑游戏(81%)上。”，可知孩子们现在花更多的时间玩电子游戏，故选A。 2．细节理解题，根据三、四、五、六自然段的首句“Firstly, outdoor activities open up your senses. Playing outside helps your body. Outdoor play also makes your mind relax. Besides, spending time outdoors brings you closer to the environment. 首先，户外活动能打开你的感官。在户外玩耍对你的身体有好处。户外游戏也能让你的头脑放松。此外，花时间在户外会让你更接近环境。”可知一共提到四条好处，故选B。 3．推理判断题，根据该空的前后部分“You needn’t go to the countryside.你不必去乡下。” It can be your own backyard or that block of trees at the end of the street.和“它可以是你自己的后院，也可以是街道尽头的那块树。”，结合选项A. There are bits of nature everywhere. 到处都是大自然的痕迹；B. You can enjoy yourself in the countryside. 你可以在乡下玩得很开心；C. There are more and more parks today. 今天有越来越多的公园；D. You should protect the beautiful nature. 你应该保护美丽的自然。那么应该说的是其实除了乡下到处都有大自然，在街角或后院，故选A。 4．主旨大意题，根据第一段阐述了不动的室内活动更受欢迎，大多数人把大部分空闲时间都花在看电视(85%)或玩电脑游戏(81%)上。并根据文章第二段“In fact, outdoor activities such as taking a friend along, kicking around a ball and taking photos can help. It is important for kids to play outside.事实上，户外活动，如带朋友一起去，踢球和拍照都会有所帮助。对孩子们来说，在户外玩耍是很重要的。”及最后一段“So the next time you sit down to spend time with a TV, consider treating yourself to a little outdoor play instead.所以下次你坐下来看电视的时候，可以考虑享受一下户外游戏。”可知应该是鼓励孩子们多花些时间在户外，故选D。 Young people in China are losing themselves in “digital pickled vegetables (电子榨菜)”, a term (术语) for short videos that they can watch while eating during their valuable lunch breaks. Because of the fast lifestyle, many young people don’t have time to enjoy conversations with friends and family at the dinner table. Instead, they find themselves eating alone. They usually watch TV shows or short videos on their phones, computers, or televisions during these 20- to 30-minute lunch breaks. Many find that it’s impossible to enjoy a good meal without watching something interesting, funny or relaxing. Some popular choices include Chinese dramas and sitcoms like Empresses in the Palace and My Own Swordsman. American sitcoms such as Friends and How I Met Your Mother are also welcomed for their interesting jokes and simple stories. You don’t need to know all about the jokes or the stories. You can just get a good laugh from any episode (一集). Popular digital pickled vegetables also include short videos and mini-series (迷你剧) on the Internet. These include short videos with titles (标题) like “Watch The Shawshank Redemption in 5 minutes” and “What happened in the book Little Women? Let me tell you in this 3-minute video”. Low-budget (低成本), independently made mini-series began popular on the Internet about two years ago. Some have questioned the value of such videos, pointing out that such kinds of videos spoil good films and books. But others see nothing wrong with some harmless (无害的) fun to go with a meal after a long day of work. “The true meaning of food is the happiness it brings. The digital pickled vegetables help us relax after a tiring workday. But it will be much better if we can stay with our family and share our life during the dinner time,” shared a Weibo user. 1．According to the passage, what are digital pickled vegetables?

D．Because they are easy for people to learn. 3．What’s Paragraph 5 mainly about? A．Kinds of mini-series. B．Reasons why people like mini-series. C．Influences of the mini-series. D．Opinions on mini-series. 4．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．The Chinese sitcom My Own Swordsman is very educational. B．You must understand the whole story to enjoy American sitcoms.

Instead, they came up with interesting games to play. Let’s have a look. Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood. Now in China, the three most famous kites are Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite, and each of them has its own characteristic(特点). Diabolo (空竹) is always made of wood or bamboo and is hollow (空的) in the center. When you put them on ropes, the high-speed rotating(旋转) diabolo will make a sound. Playing diabolo is a very interesting game and especially popular in North China. The closest thing to watching a movie or TV during ancient times was watching a shadow play (皮影戏). People control puppets behind the screen while singing with music to tell a story. Shadow play was listed as national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2006. Firecrackers have a history of more than 2, 000 years. It is said that people burnt bamboo joints (竹节) to make it blast (爆炸) to drive away the beast named Nian in ancient China. Firecrackers are still set off during the Spring Festival to stand for hope and luck. 1．Why are firecrackers still set off during the Spring Festival? A．To tell a story. B．To make a sound.

Stones were carved (刻) into small balls and kicked. Watching shadow plays Watching shadow plays was very popular during the Tang and Song dynasties. Shadow puppets (木偶) were made from the leather (皮革) of donkeys. People controlled puppets behind the white screen, told stories and accompanied by music. Kicking shuttlecocks Shuttlecock kicking came into being in the Han Dynasty. A shuttlecock could be made by chicken feathers (羽毛),coins and cotton cloth.

These programmes give us a good look into the lives of different people in Britain. Also they are a very cheap way to make programmes. Here are some of them.Strictly Come Dancing 　　In the show some famous people learn to dance with a professional dancer. Four professional dance experts give them scores and comments (评论) about their dances. After that, the public vote(投票) for their favourite couple.

Come Dine With Me 　　Each week four people prepare dinner in their home for the other players. Each player then gives the cook a grade out of 10 for the food. The winner gets ￡1,000.

I couldn’t keep a secret if you told me and I like discovering new things and telling everyone about them. So I became a journalist(记者). Sounds simple and easy, right? But the life of a journalist is more exciting and much harder than that. It can come with pain and frustration (挫折).    Once I ran around in a dark, dangerous-looking street in the snow. I was trying to find a woman who (my editor had told me) “woke in the night to find water pouring on her head”. Somehow I found her. I took photos. I interviewed her, the building owner and the firemen. I wrote the story…Then I opened the paper to find it at the back, with no name on it, only 100 words long. Strangely, though, it made me want to keep going. If you succeed, the rewards of journalism are truly great. I once wrote about an old people’s home. People there, including a 90-year-old blind man, were living in rooms that were full of fleas (跳蚤). They were told to do their own repairs. A week after the story was published, people there phoned me, full of joy. The managers had said sorry to them and promised to change their ways. Journalism can be dangerous and boring, with long and changing work hours. And the pay (at least in the UK) is terrible. But it’s also one of the most exciting, rewarding jobs. For me, there is no better career than making a difference—and telling the world about it. 1．According to the writer, what can’t she do being a journalist? A．Writing different kinds of stories. B．Meeting different people. C．Discovering new things. D．Staying away from pain and frustration. 2．According to the third paragraph, how might the writer feel when she saw her story in the paper? A．Disappointed. B．Happy. C．Scared. D．Encouraged. 3．What does the underlined word “rewards” mean in Paragraph 3? A．回报 B．惩罚 C．编辑 D．帮助 4．What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? A．How a journalist writes a good story. B．A journalist can sometimes help others and bring about changes in people’s lives. C．A journalist works long hours. D．It’s necessary for a journalist to care more about the poor. 5．What can we learn from the article? A．Working in journalism is easy. B．Journalists are usually well-paid. C．The writer loves her job as a journalist. D．The writer encourages people to work in journalism. Movie-making factories are called studios. Like all other businesses, they have to follow the rules of good business. There is a person, called “the top man”, running the studio. He is usually someone with a powerful personality. His power of character is necessary so that the “boss” can deal with famous stars and rich investors(投资者). Some movie stars can only contract(签合同) with one studio. They cannot work for another. Big studios like Columbia, Fox, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer are the most important movie-making companies in Hollywood. Making a film takes a long time and is very hard work. Writing the story for the film needs many weeks. Shooting a film often takes at least six months. Actors and cameramen work from very early in the morning until late at night. Each scene has to be acted and reacted, filmed and refilmed, until it is just right. Sometimes the same scene has to be acted many times. The film studio is like a large factory, and the indoor stages are very big indeed. Scenery of all kinds is made in the studio. Churches, houses, castles, and forest are all built of wood and cardboard(纸板盒). Several hundred people work together to make one film. Some of these people are actors and actresses. The director of the film, however, is the most important person in a film studio. He decides how the scenes should be filmed and how the actors should act. Most people go to see a film because the film stars they like are in it. Sometimes the film may be very poor. It is best to choose a film made by a good director. Some famous directors make their films very real. People feel that they themselves are among the people in the film. 1．How many big studios are mentioned in the passage? A．3 B．4 C．5 D．6 2．The scenes have to be reacted and refilmed many times because ________. A．it takes time to make a film B．it is difficult to make them real C．it is not easy to make them good enough D．several hundred people work together 3．Who is the most important person in a film studio? A．The top man running the studio. B．An experienced cameraman. C．An excellent actor. D．The director of the film. 4．According to the passage, most people go to see a film because ________. A．they like the scenes in it B．their favourite film stars are in it C．they want to know who is the director D．they want to learn its story 5．We can probably see the passage in a(n) ________. A．newspaper B．magazine C．advertisement D．storybook When people discover that I work as a film and TV extra (临时演员), they always ask me the same questions, “Emily, is it easy to get work? Isn’t it boring? Do you get to meet famous actors? Does it pay well?” My answers are pretty standard as well, “Yes, sometimes, once in a while, and...kind of. The life of an extra is both more interesting and more boring than you might imagine.” Extras, who play the people in crowds, on streets, or in the background of indoors scenes, can come from all walks of life. Unlike many extras, I’m a trained actor. I do get real speaking roles, but work can be hard to come by if you’re not a popular star. I’m registered (注册) with an agency that deals only with extras, so I get calls all the time. The agency explains who I’ll be someone in a crowd, a member of a jury, a clerk and tells me where to go. Call time is usually bright and early, so I try to get to bed at a reasonable hour. Sometimes being an extra is a “hurry up and wait” job. In my first extra role, I was one of a group of office workers who come out of a building just as a car explodes (爆炸) in the street. We waited for hours for the scene to be shot, and then went in and out of the building about fifty times, trying to act terrified by an explosion which was not real. Then we had lunch, changed clothes, and spent the afternoons as customers in a department store. It may sound like I don’t enjoy the work, but I do. Being part of the background in a convincing (令人信服的) way is challenging, and being on a film or TV set is always fascinating.

Indoor activities without moving are more popular. Most people in the study spend most of their free time watching TV (85%) or playing computer games(81%). “This causes over-weight, greater stress and more physical and emotional(情绪的) illnesses,” says Richard Louv, a nature writer. In fact, outdoor activities such as taking a friend along, kicking around a ball and taking photos can help. It is important for kids to play outside. Firstly, outdoor activities open up your senses. You will feel better after spending time outside. “Surfing, camping and fishing help bring all of your senses to life,” says Betsy Keller, a professor at Ithaca College in New York. “Smell, sight ... they’re all active when you’re outside.” With your senses getting stronger, you’ll feel free and more creative. Playing outside helps your body. When playing outside, you can be on hills, beaches or lakes instead of a flat floor. Different areas offer special fun and challenge your strength and balance. It also helps keep your body’s clock on track so that you sleep better at night and feel less sleepy during the day. Outdoor play also makes your mind relax. Too much time indoors, such as watching TV or activities in non-green areas, may make it hard for kids to focus their attention and easy to feel stressed out. But staying in the nature helps them concentrate and lowers their stress levels. Besides, spending time outdoors brings you closer to the environment. Hearing the leaves crackle underfoot, breathing in fresh air, walking through the woods in search of cool birds remind you of the beauty of the nature. You needn’t go to the countryside.________ .

Many find that it’s impossible to enjoy a good meal without watching something interesting, funny or relaxing.
