Let's take a look at the list I've collected.‎ ‎ A Beautiful Mind A Beautiful Mind is the story of John Nash, a mathematician who went on to win the Nobel Prize for his Game Theory. This movie brings his whole journey on screen—from his beginning to his downhill ride.The first half is all about his rise to fame while the second half shows how he slowly falls into madness. After many years of fighting, he finally is victorious.‎ I. Q.‎ The story is about an auto mechanic who falls for Albert Einstein's niece. The only problem is that she is engaged (订婚) to someone else. Fortunately, Einstein likes him. He pretends to be a physicist to run after her, but things don't go as he'd planned.‎ If A Beautiful Mind was a little too heavy for you, I.Q. would be the perfect fit. It's a light-drama that is funny and heartwarming for the most part.‎ ‎ Good Will Hunting Good Will Hunting is a touching tale of a troubled young man called Will Hunting who is gifted with a natural talent in mathematics.‎ However, he is struggling to find his identity. He can solve any math problem, but not the one he seems to be struggling with in his life. His life seems to be getting only worse until one day he meets Sean, a therapist, who helps him find direction in life.‎ Creation Creation is a story of famous scientist, Charles Darwin, best known for his evolution theories. This movie attempts to bring his struggling days into focus; the time when he was dealing with the loss of his daughter and was suffering from hallucinations (幻觉). At the same time, he was working on a book called On the Origins of Species, which he finally completed.‎ All in all, Creation is a great historical drama.‎ ‎21. If you are interested in a relaxing movie, you can go and see ________.‎ A. I.Q B. Creation C. A Beautiful Mind D. Good Will Hunting ‎22. Which two characters are experts in mathematics according to the passage?‎ A. Will Hunting and Sean. B. John Nash and Will Hunting C. Charles Darwin and Sean. D. John Nash and Charles Darwin.‎ ‎23. The main purpose of the passage is to __________.‎ A. recommend actors B. promote movie sales C. introduce movies D. compare movies B Walk around the city of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and you may see a green animal named Sluggo and a flying pig named Philomena. You might even see street artist David Zinn drawing them using only sidewalk chalk and charcoal (炭笔).‎ At the age of 12, David began working as an artist. His dad was writing a computer instruction and worried that it would be boring to read. So he asked David to draw pictures of turtles (the name of the computer program) to explain it. The publisher liked his drawings, and soon David had the job of drawing more turtles in action. “I learned a great lesson, which was that, to make money as an artist, I couldn't always draw what I wanted,” he says. “I had to figure out how to draw a turtle drinking tea and other things like that.”‎ David worked for 20 years as a commercial (商业的) artist, but he often felt cooped up (禁锢) sitting at a computer for 10 hours a day. Then, on a sunny afternoon about ten years ago, he brought some chalk and started drawing on the sidewalk. That's when Sluggo came to life.‎ ‎“One of the reasons I like to put art on the street is to take people by surprise,” he says. “I can have fun drawing, and knowing it will be washed away helps me not think too much. It frees me up.”‎ It takes David about two hours to complete one drawing. He uses a lot of sidewalk characteristics in his street art. It can be difficult to draw on surfaces that are not flat. He has to notice where shadows (阴影) will land so they won't destroy the 3-D drawings he creates.‎ Today, more and more people are accepting and looking for his work. David's artwork can also be found across the country and even throughout the world. Photos of his drawings have been shown at many universities and museums.‎ ‎24. What did David learn from drawing turtles for his father?‎ A. Follow your heart. B. Work hard. ‎ C. Draw in a creative way. D. Draw what you like.‎ ‎25. How does David feel when knowing his drawing will be washed away?‎ A.  Unhappy.         B. Surprised. C.   Worried.        D. Relaxed. ‎ ‎26. In what way is David's art special?‎ A. It is 3-D street art created by simple painting tools. ‎ B. It is drawn on the flat sidewalk.‎ C. It needs a very long time to finish a drawing.‎ D. It shows his real life.‎ ‎27. What do we know about David's drawings?‎ A. They are too difficult to understand. B. They are found mainly at museums. ‎ C. They are becoming popular. D. They are hardly accepted by adults. ‎ C Other cultures can be different from ours in many aspects! They can eat different foods and live in different types of houses. People probably speak different languages and have beliefs and customs very different from yours. However, they can also be similar in ways of connecting with each other. We sometimes call these means of communication universal languages.‎ Some legends hold that, thousands of years ago, there was a single language spoken by everyone on Earth. It is fun to think about a time when everyone may have been able to communicate in the same language though historical evidence does not support this, of course.‎ Today, there are thousands of languages spoken around the world. Yet, there are some means of communication that go beyond words and allow people of wildly different backgrounds to communicate and share emotions and feelings. For example, some people believe music is a universal language. There may be some scientific support for this idea, too. Experts have learned that, across cultures, people can recognize three common emotions in music; happiness, sadness and fear.‎ So what other types of universal languages might there be? Some people believe dance is a universal language. Along with music, dancing seems to be a common interest shared by peoples all over the world. Do you think you could see a dance from another culture and make some reasonable guesses about the ideas and emotions behind it? We bet you could!‎ Another universal language that you might not have thought of is math! If you think about it now, though, it just makes sense. The value of pi is roughly 3. 14159 no matter where you are on Earth, likewise, figuring out the value of something involves the same mathematical calculations, regardless of whether you' re counting in dollars, pesos or coconuts.‎ ‎28. What does the underlined word "this" in paragraph 2 probably refer to?‎ A. The view that people only used one language. ‎ B. The fact that there used to be many languages.‎ C. The evidence that proves old languages funny.‎ D. The doubt that people didn't understand each other.‎ ‎29. Why is music regarded as a universal language?‎ A. It can be enjoyed by people from all walks of life.‎ B. It can be understood more easily than languages.‎ C. It usually comes from different backgrounds.‎ D. It helps people to share common feelings.‎ ‎30. What are the universal languages according to the passage?‎ A. Math, English and music. B. Music, dance and math.‎ C. History, culture and music. D. Emotion, pi and music.‎ ‎31. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Various Differences Between Cultures B. Music Helps People Show Feelings C. Universal Languages Connect Different Cultures D. Cross-cultural Communication History D Alaska—The American city Anchorage is recovering from a powerful earthquake Friday that damaged public buildings, homes and roads.‎ The 7.0 earthquake caused buildings to shake. But there have been no reports of deaths, serious injuries or damage. Officials say the quake has not affected transportation of food and her supplies. “The ships are coming in on schedule, the supply lines are at this point working well,” the government told reporters Sunday.‎ The Glenn Highway was probably the road hit hardest by the earthquake. It connects the state's largest city to other parts in the north. Traffic has been heavy and slow-moving since the quake. Drivers are being guided. Groups of workers are trying to rebuild areas where the quake left large holes in the road.‎ People who are still nervous after the major quake have been more upset by more than 1, 700 aftershocks. “Anything that moves, you feel terrified.”said David, whose home suffered structural(结构)damage, including a sunken ‎ foundation(地基). Actually, Alaska came up with strict building rules after a 9.2 earthquake in 1964. That was the second most powerful earthquake on record.‎ Government officials said a public health center promises that money for medical treatment will continue to come. Mental healthy service(心理健康服务)is also available for people hurt by the disaster.‎ Earthquake experts say there is a 4 percent chance of another 7. 0 earthquake or greater in the following week. "The chance is very small, but its not impossible. ” said the expert, Paul Caruso.‎ ‎32. What was the result of the earthquake?‎ A. Buildings were damaged. B. Food supply was cut off.‎ C. Many people were killed D. The ships could not come in.‎ ‎33. Why is the traffic slow on the Glenn Highway?‎ A. Because small quakes hit the city. B. Because falling rocks are a danger.‎ C. Because the highway is badly damaged. D. Because drivers are misled.‎ ‎34. What can you learn from Paul Caruso?‎ A. Another greater earthquake is on the way.‎ B. Chances still exists of another earthquake.‎ C. It will be safe in the 1th week after the quake.‎ D. There is no possibility for more quakes.‎ ‎35. Where can your possibly read the passage?‎ A. In a story book. B. In a travel journal.‎ C. In a poster. D. In a newspaper.‎ 第二节 阅读填句（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Tips to Start a Great Day For most,the morning is a mad rush to get everyone ready and out of the door. By the time you reach the office, you’ve probably already dealt with the worry of family, weather, and traffic. Unless everything goes perfectly, you’ll carry ‎ all that worry and share it all the day with your workmates. 36 ‎ Open your eyes to fresh flowers.‎ If the first thing you see when you wake up is a dark, dirty wall or bare winter yard, you can certainly improve those important few minutes with pleasing and bright colors. 37 Research suggests that putting yourself in bright colors in the morning raises your spirits and energy.‎ ‎ 38 ‎ If you organize your to-do-list, breakfast menu, and your clothes the night before, you’ll wake up feeling in control and relaxed. Taking 20 minutes to lay out everything can save you a 30-minute make-up or search for the car keys.‎ Try 15 minutes of deep and silent thought.‎ Some might be afraid that a thought session early in the morning could just put you back to sleep. 39 It allows you to clear distractions (分散注意力的事物）from your mind and kill off negative energy.‎ Begin with encouraging reading.‎ Part of my morning habits includes reading first thing. Many read the news, which can be a sad way to start the day. 40 This will give you positive, fun thoughts to keep you energetic all the day.‎ Try one of these tips each day or put them together.

She would tell me not to be a follower and not to set 41 on what I could achieve.

The farmer replied, " It was 48 . I got the seed growing and then I put it into the milk bottle. It had 49 else to go.”‎ You can use this story as an analogy(类比，类推) to life--our lives are 50 by the kind of surroundings we place ourselves in, the people that we allow to 51 us, and the goals we give ourselves.‎ If we only 52 and take no action, then we get no further. But if we 53 , set a goal and take action, then our life takes a 54 shape.‎ Goals and actions can help us accomplish（完成） more in a year than what some people will accomplish in a lifetime. To prove this 55 , read the biographies of 56 people and you will see that goals and actions 57 played a big role in their success.‎ ‎ 58 Mary Kay Ash puts it, "Don’t limit yourself.” Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go 59 your mind lets you. Whatever you believe, remember, you can achieve.‎ In summary, don 't put yourself in a bottle; in other words, move out of what is 60 and secure(安全的) if you want to move forward.‎ ‎41.

Before you all go to supper, I would just like to give you some information about the Roman Villa and Gardens. The Villa is open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. There is a lot to see in the Villa, so I really do suggest that you take the guided tour. The tour leaves from outside the Villa entrance, but you need to go into the main building to book a ticket for the tour.
