1．Paper is a cheap and accessible medium that can produce beautiful results．To most people，making a paper plane could be one of the simplest things to do．It's the simplest and easiest form of paper art．And paper art can be traced back to Japan，where it originated over a thousand years ago．However，there's a special minority who takes paper art to the next level，magically turning the plain white or colored paper into some of the most amazing artworks．Check out the following artists and their works!
The Danish artist Peter Callesen is famous for his talent in combining the minimalism（極簡的） of a white sheet of paper with the complexity of carefully cut and folded paper and uses the two to build out some pleasing works．
The British artist Su Blackwell often goes to secondhand bookstores-to look for materials with which she can carve out delicate sculptures．The models look as if they"grow"naturally from the pages of the books．The artist finds inspiration from the book title or a paragraph or picture inside and then spends months carefully slicing each one into an eye-catching paper model．Her old book sculptures sell for up to￡5，000each．
By carefully folding simple pieces of paper，German artist Simon Schubert creates amazing masterpieces．He turns paper into architectural masterpieces by folding a simple piece of paper to shape the creases（褶痕），then unfolding it to show the fascinating artwork．
Another master of paperfolding is Jen Stark．Her artwork is often in the form of colorful caves and topographic（地形的） maps．Using her vivid imagination and a special knife，she is a modern day magician who turns humble materials like construction paper and glue into fantastic，complicated sculptures that puzzle the eyes．Her work draws inspiration from nature．

25．According to the passage，paper artD．
A．is about planefolding                 B．is most prosperous in Japan
C．dates back to 1000B．C．D．is now on a new level
26．The British artist mentioned in the passageB．
A．combines the minimalism and complexity of paper
B．often gets inspired by secondhand books
C．makes architectural masterpieces with Simon Schubert
D．is a magician who uses simple paper materials
27．According to the passage，Jen StarkA．
A．uses paper to build complicated shapes       B．is from Germany
C．creates things too puzzling to understand     D．works also as a magician
28．What's the author's attitude towards paper art？C
A．neutral．B．unclear．C．a(chǎn)ppreciative．D．negative．

點評 做閱讀時經(jīng)常犯錯的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對于題目的理解一定要忠實于原文，因此，每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句，（1）排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項（2）排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項  （3）排除用于過于極端或負(fù)面的選項（4）注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除．

12．Wrting artieles about films for The Front Page was my first proper job．Before then I had done bits of reviewing---novels for other newspapers，films for a magazine and anything I was asked to do for the radio．That was how I met Tom Seaton，the first arts editor of The Front Page，who had also written for television．He hired me，but Tom was not primarily a journalist，or he would certainly have been more careful in choosing his staff．
         At first，his idea was that a team of critics should take care of the art forms that didn't require specialized knowledge：books，TV，theatre，film and radio．There would be a weekly lunch at which we would make our choices from the artistic material that Tom had decided we should cover，though there would also be guests to make the atmosphere sociable．
         It all felt like a bit of dream at that time：a new newspaper and I was one of the team．It seemed so unlikely that a paper could be introduced into a crowded market．It seemed just as likely that a millionaire wanted to help me personally，and was pretending to employ me．Such was my lack of self-confidence．
         Tom's original scheme for a team of critics for the arts never took off．It was a good idea，but we didn't get together as planned and so everything was done by phone．It turned out，too，that the general public out there preferred to associate a reviewer with a single subject area，and so I chose film．Without Tom's initial push，though，we would hardly have come up with the present arrangement，by which I write an extended weekly piece，usually on one film．
         The space I am given allows me to broaden my argument---or forces me，in an uninteresting week，to make something out of nothing．But what is my role in the public arena？I assume that people choose what films to go to on the basis of the stars，the publicity or the director．So if a film review isn't really a consumer guide，what is it？I certainly don't feel I have a responsibility to be‘right'about a movie．Nor do I think there should be a certain number of‘great'and‘bad'films each year．All I have to do is put forward an argument．I'm not a judge，and nor would I want to be．
67．What do we learn about Tom Seaton from the first paragraph？B
A．He encouraged Mark to become a writer．
B．He had worked in various areas of the media．
C．He met Mark when working for television．
D．He prefers to employ people that he knows．
68．The weekly lunches were planned in order toC．
A．help the writers get to know each other
B．provide an informal information session
C．distribute the work that had to be done
D．entertain important visitors from the arts
69．What does the author mean when he says that Tom's plan‘never took off'in Paragraph 4？D
A．It was unpopular．
B．It wasted too much time．
C．It wasn't planned properly．
D．It wasn't put into practice．
70．Which of the following best describes what Mark says about his work？C
A．His success varies from year to year．
B．He prefers to write about films he likes．
C．He can freely express his opinion．
D．He writes according to accepted rules．

9．Janelle was running late for work，so she just had time for a quick look at herself in the mirror as she was going out．What she saw there made her stop dead in her tracks．
Being a busy college student just one year removed from her teenage years，she wasn't exactly obsessive-compulsive（有強迫觀念和行為的） about the neatness of her clothes．But her boss at the restaurant where she works saw things a little differently．He had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appearance，and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to wear clean，unwrinkled blouses．As an assistant manager，Janelle felt it was important to set an example for the other employees．But if she stopped to iron the blouse normally，she would be late-and work without delay was an area of even greater concern to her boss．
So she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low heat．Carefully holding her blouse away from her body，she continued to iron it while she was wearing it．It seemed like a logical answer to an urgent problem．
And it seemed to be working until Janelle tried to iron the collar and accidentally ironed her neck by mistake．Then it suddenly seemed like a really stupid idea and a really painful one as well．It took more time to treat her burn than it would have taken to iron her shirt properly．And she spent a miserable shift dealing with the pain of the burn．
We've all been there，haven't we？For me it was cutting my own hair．For a former roommate it was trying to pull his own wisdom teeth．For another college acquaintance，it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still running．
"There's a right way and a wrong way of doing things，"Dad used to tell me whenever I'd spoil the look of our yard by trying out a faster，easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn．"If a thing is worth doing，"he said，"it's worth doing it right．"There's a reason why certain things are done in certain ways．Those old，boring，predictable ways work．

24．Jenelle found in the mirror thatB．
A．there were stains on her blouse
B．her blouse was wrinkled
C．she wore heavy makeup
D．she put on a wrong blouse
25．It's learned from Paragraph 2thatD．
A．Jenelle had no sense of responsibility at work
B．Jenelle failed to set an example for employees in daily work
C．Jenelle didn't care about the neatness of her clothes at all
D．Jenelle's boss put doing something on time above appearance
26．What can we infer from Paragraph5？A
A．We all have done loads of things like Janelle．
B．We are careful enough in daily life．
C．We all have done something creative．
D．We all have tried to iron clothes while we are wearing them．
27．What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph？D
A．Be creative and novel．
B．A bad beginning makes a bad ending．
C．Stick to old patterns．
D．Do things right．

16．If you never read the classic F．Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby，now is your chance to catch up-by watching the latest film adaptation．Because if there's one sentence to sum up the film，it would be，as Fox News says in its review，"It's just like the book"．
Director Baz Luhrmann's main challenge was"either to find a visual equivalent（相等物） for Fitzgerald's elegant essay--the open secret of the book's staying power--or to bend the material to his own exotic（異國的） strengths，"a Time magazine review says．He tries it both ways，with varying degrees of success．
Considered to be Fitzgerald's representative work，The Great Gatsby explores themes of idealism，resistance to change，social change，and excess，creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream．
Nick，the narrator，moves to New York for the summer to visit his cousin Daisy．His next-door neighbor is Jay Gatsby （Leonardo DiCaprio），who rarely contacts with others and is rumored to be a hero of the Great War．Gatsby claims to have attended Oxford University，but the evidence is suspect．As Nick learns more about Gatsby，every detail about him seems questionable，except his love for Daisy．Though Daisy is married，Gatsby still adores her as his"golden girl．"They first met when she was a young lady from a wealthy family and he was a working-class military officer．Daisy promised to wait for his return from the war．However，she married Tom，a classmate of Nick．Having obtained a great fortune，Gatsby sets out to win her back again．
"All of Fitzgerald's original creation finds its way into this film，even going as far as to include quite a bit of the original dialogue，"US film critic Justin Taroli writes in his review．"The cast is beautiful as is the script，and the scenes are a visual feast，"Taroli adds．
DiCaprio does a good and professional job as the socialite by recreating Fitzgerald's description of Gatsby's charm．"He can look at someone for an instant and understand how perfectly he or she wants to be seen，"David Denby，a film critic for The New Yorker，says in his review．
The use of music is almost reason enough to see the film．"Luhrmann is at his best mixing visual and musical styles together to create something wholly original，"the Fox News review says．
For example，in one of the most outstanding scenes in the film，the first party scene，Nick walks quickly from one party guest to another party guest trying to explain all the gossip about Gatsby until he is finally introduced to the man himself，while the most stirring version of Rhapsody in Blue （composed by American musician George Gershwin in 1924）is played in the background．
28．What did Baz Luhrmann do to make the film a success？C
A．He adapted the story in the novel as he wished．
B．He made the film more powerful than the book．
C．He mixed his style with the elegance of the essay．
D．He showed the elegance of the pictures in the film．
29．What is Taroli's attitude towards the film？A
A．Favorable．B．Sceptical．C．Amazed．D．Unconcerned．
30．What are the characteristics of Gatsby？D
A．Faithful and warm-hearted．
B．Charming and professional．
C．Selfish and stubborn．
D．Mysterious and devoted．
31．Why does the author give the example of the first party scene in the last paragraph？C
A．Unfold the fact that Nick wants to know more about Gatsby．
B．Show the version of Rhapsody in Blue matches the film well．
C．Prove that the director is good at combining visual and music．
D．Convince us that the first scene is perfectly shot by the director．

6．A recent survey has shown that the number of people in the United Kingdom who do not intend to get internet access has risen．These people，who are known as'net refuseniks'，make up 44% of UK households，or 11.2million people in total．
The research also showed that more than 70percent of these people said that they were not interested in getting connected to the internet．This number has risen from just over 50% in 2005，with most giving lack of computer skills as a reason for not getting internet access，though some also said it was because of the cost．
More and more people are getting broadband and high speed net is available almost everywhere in the UK，but there are still a significant number of people who refuse to take the first step．
The cost of getting online is going down and internet speeds are increasing，so many see the main challenge to be explaining the relevance of the internet to this group．This would encourage them to get connected before they are left too far behind．The gap between those who have access to and use the internet is the digital divide，and if the gap continues to widen，those without access will get left behind and miss out on many opportunities，especially in their careers．

1．Which is not the reason why more people do not intend to get internet access than before？B
A．Because they are not interested in getting connected to the internet．
B．Because they can not get internet access．
C．Because of the cost．
D．Because of lack of computer skills．
2．Which of the statement is true？B
A．Not having access to the internet will only affect people's careers．
B．Not having access to the internet will affect people in many aspects．
C．Not having access to the internet will not affect people's life．
D．No people refuse to get connected to the internet．
3．The best title of the passage should beA．
A．The Digital Divide in the UK．
B．High Speed Net in the UK
C．The increasing internet access in the UK
D．The cost of the Net in the UK．

13．Eric was known for his red hair and his bad temper，and thus he earned the name Eric the Red．Like his father Thorval Asvaldson he also killed several men in personal quarrels，one concerning the death of some of his slaves，and another concerning some wood working tools．Following these killings，he had to leave Iceland for three years．
Eric lived and explored in Greenland for the full three years of his banishment（流放） from Iceland．Realizing the habitable（適于居住的） Greenland，he returned to Iceland．He persuaded 25ships to be with him on a mission to colonize（殖民） this new land．Some turned back and others were lost at sea，but Eric arrived in Greenland with about 14ships，and around 500settlers．The colony prospered（ 繁榮），and Eric became a rich leader．Therefore，Eric was regarded as the discoverer of America．
Eric's son Lief was a strong leader，and an explorer himself．He sailed west and found rich lands there which he named Vinland，but soon after he returned to Greenland，the island was going through a plague （瘟疫） brought from Iceland，and many of its settlers，including Eric the Red，died．Once Greenland might have reached around 3000～4000inhabitants（居住者），but the dreams of settling further west came to little as the Greenlanders struggled to survive in their awful environment which worsened with a cooling cycle．Several hundred years after Eric and Lief the Greenlanders were cut off from Europe，the colder climate brought the Innuit peoples south，and into fight with the Vikings that survived in the terrible conditions．Around a hundred years before Columbus"discovered America"，the colony in Greenland failed to support itself．No one knows if there were any survivors where they left．

21．What can be inferred about Eric the Red from paragraph1？B
A．Eric the Red often lent his wood working tools to other people．
B．Eric the Red got his name because of his appearance and temper．
C．Eric the Red often had quarrels with his father and other people．
D．Eric the Red was born in a rich family and lived a happy childhood．
22．What led to the death of the inhabitants on Vinland？D
A．Fights against the invaders．
B．Some natural disasters．
C．The terrible weather there．
D．An unexpected disease．
23．Why did Lief's hope of settling further west fail in the end？B
A．Because Lief was killed in the fight with the Innuit peoples．
B．Because the environment there was awfully terrible．
C．Because the Greenlanders were cut off from Europe．

5．While applying to college may seem easy，getting in can be tough!When you apply for college，you will have to be honest with yourself and do a bit of research to find the right fit．Here are three steps to take when applying to colleges for the best chances at getting into the best college for you．
     Step l：Making A List Of Colleges To Apply To
     With over 6，000 colleges in the United States，the
first step in applying to college is to do some research
and make a college list．This process will be different for
everyone．The number of colleges you apply to can vary，
from applying  to 1 school （not recommended） to 30
schools （not recommended），each applicant can choose
how many colleges they apply to．Many limit the number because applications are accompanied by a fee．．
     Step2：Splitting The List Into Target，Reach and Safety Schools                    
     In general，students will want to apply to three types of schools：Target，Reach and Safety schools．It is up to you how many applications you send，but a good mix would be more target than reach，and at least one safety．You will need to take your list，and now decide which are your top picks，which are attainable for you academically，which are affordable for you only with aid，and refine your broad list into a group of schools that gives you the best chance for success．Talk to an admissions counselor at your high school if you have questions about this．
     Step 3：Completing and Sending Applications to Colleges
     Once your list is complete you are ready to apply to college by completing and sending in applications!College applications take time to complete-you have to write essays，ask for recommendations and get test scores sent to schools-so stay organized！All colleges will require these types of application materials，so start thinking about these items well before October or December．Once you complete and send them，then you have successfully applied to college．
66．It can be learned from the first paragraph thatA．
A．you should be cautious to pick up the right college
B．you don't have to think twice before applying to college
C．once you apply to a college，you'll be admitted to it easily
D．each applicant should choose the best college for their ideal

A．should consider more Safety schools
B．had better take your academy into account
C．a(chǎn)re supposed to choose merely one most fit
D．a(chǎn)re required to pick out more than 30 colleges
68．Which of the following statements is WRONG？C
A．One should clarify the list according to one's abilities．
B．Refer to admissions counselor at high school if necessary．
C．One doesn't have to send his test scores to the intended college．
D．Teachers'recommendations are included in application materials．
69．We can conclude from the text thatC．
A．each applicant has the right to apply to any colleges for free
B．the more college one chooses，the more successful he will be
C．a(chǎn)pplicants should send required materials before the deadline
D．safety schools are those that don't have so many requirements
70．The text is mainly aboutB．
A．how to succeed in life
B．how to apply to college
