第四部分 (阅读理解) (40分):
(A)
The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film
a beautiful sunset over the ocean(海洋) so that the audiences (or people who
watch the film) could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the
film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent his camera crew
(摄制组)out one evening to film the sunset for him .
The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with
that sunset?”
“No, sir.” the men answered.
The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked.
“Well, sir,” one of the men answered. “we’re on the east coast here, and
the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea if necessary, but
not a sunset.”
“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take
the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”
But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don’t you photograph
a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then it’ll look like
a sunset.”
The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright
sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay(海湾). Then at nine
o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir!” they said, and gave it to
him. He was very pleased.
They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained. “now
our hero and heroine are going to say good-bye. Run the film backwards so
that we can see the ‘sunset behind them.’”
The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly
put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.
The birds in the film were flying backwards and the waves on the sea were
going away from the beach(海滩).
56. One evening, the director sent his camera crew out ________.
A. to watch a beautiful sunset B. to find an actor and an actress
C. to film a scene on the sea D. to meet the audience
57. Why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast?
A. Because he changed his mind about getting a sunset .
B. Because he was angry with his crew.
C. Because it was his secretary’s suggestion.
D. Because he wanted to get a scene of sunset.
58. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. The crew had to follow the secretary’s advice.
B. If you want to see a sunrise, the east coast is the place to go to.
C. The camera crew wasn’t able to film the scene the first day.
D. The director ordered his crew to stop filming the “sunset”.
59. The director wanted to film a sunset over the ocean because_______-.
A. it went well with the separation of the hero and the heroine
B. when they arrived at the beach it was already in the evening
C. it was more moving than a sunrise
D. the ocean looked more beautiful at sunset
60. After the “sunset” began, the director suddenly put his face in his hands ______.
A. because he was moved to tears.
B. as he saw everything in the film moving backwards.
C. as the sunrise did not look as beautiful as he had imagined
D. because he was disappointed with the performance of the hero and heroine
(B)
“You don’t say!”
A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my
teacher emphasized(强调) the importance(重要性) again and again. But soon,
the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience(经历).
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon
we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English,
the foreigner seemed to be astonished (or greatly surprised). Gently
(轻轻) shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders(耸肩), he said, “You
don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is
not an appropriate topic(适当的话题). “Well, I’d better change the topic.”
So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have
you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I
leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent(or great and beautiful).”
He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great
Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it” Soon I
was interrupted (or stopped suddenly) again by his words：“You don’t say!”
I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t
request (or ask in a polite way) you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised.
I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed
to tears. He began to explain, “‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really?’ It is an
expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” Only
then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful
with idiomatic expressions.
Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.
61. A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because _______ .
A．English
idioms were not important
B．I was not careful
with English idioms
C．My teacher didn’t
emphasize the importance of them
D．I had no interest
in them
62. At first, on hearing “You don’t say,” I thought the foreigner meant ___ .
A．he was not
interested in the topic B．he was
only interested in the Great Wall
C．I had talked too
much D．I had
to stop talking
63. The underlined word in the first paragraph probably means ____
.
A．interesting
B．important
C．terrible
D．unlucky
64. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．The Englishman
left China without seeing the Great Wall.
B．The Englishman
wanted to see the Great Wall after I talked about it.
C．The Englishman
wanted me to act as his guide.
D．The Englishman
visited the Great Wall and thought it worth visiting.
65. After the Englishman explained the idiom, __________ .
A．I thought the
Englishman had made me a fool
B．the Englishman
became a real fool
C．I felt very silly
D．I became more
careful in everything
(C)
If you're in charge of (负责)a project, the key to success is getting everyone
to want to help you. As a director, I point, I suggest, I gently push the actors in
the direction(方向) I want them to go.
In the 1986 movie Nothing in Common, Jackie Gleason's character,
Max Basner, gets fired (or unemployed) from his job as a clothing salesman.
The scene, shot (拍) on a boat, shows Max's despair(绝望) about being out of
work. I was looking for some gesture that would allow Max to show his feelings.
Jackie had far more experience(经验) at everything than I did, and at first
I was frightened (very much afraid). What could I possibly tell “The Great One”
about acting? Out of fear I decided to direct by suggestion, and I sat down with
Gleason to talk about the scene. “So Max is sad, right?” I said.
Gleason nodded.
“And he’s probably still carrying his pens with his name on them ---
the ones he used to hand out to his customers, right?”
Gleason nodded.
“ So what would you want to do with the pens after you were fired?”
He was silent for a moment. “Why don’t I throw them overboard (or all over
the boat)?” I stood up and turned toward the crew. “ Hey, everybody, Jackie has
a wonderful idea. Let’s shoot it.”
After filming the scene, Gleason called me over and said with a
smile, “Garry, what kind of wonderful idea am I going to have tomorrow?”
You and your team can discover the answers to problems together.
When there are no prizes or gold stars for who gets the solution (or the way
to work out a problem) first, you'll all benefit (or get something of use or
value) when everything turns out right.
66. The author tells us that to succeed in a project you are in charge of,
you should _________________.
A. make everyone work for you B. get everyone willing to help you
C. let people know you have the final say D. keep sending out orders to them
67. It can be inferred(推断) that ______________.
A. Jackie Gleason is the director of the film Nothing in common
B. Jackie Gleason is very angry when he is fired from his job
C. Max, a character in a film, is in very low spirits(情绪) when he loses his job
D. Jackie Gleason is the writer of the film Nothing in common
68. “The Great One” in paragraph 3 refers to ___________.
A. Gleason B. the director himself C. Max D. Max's boss
69. Why did Gleason call the director over and smile at him? That’s because
Gleason _______________.
A. thought his wonderful idea was accepted by the latter(后者)
B. succeeded in hitting upon (or think of) a wonderful idea
C. was confident (certain) about his work the next day
D. appreciated(赞赏) the latter's way of directing films
70. The most suitable (or proper) title for the passage is ____________.

C. A Wonderful Experience D. Working with Film Stars
(D)
John Russell, aged 83, got on a Chicago bus and saw a sign saying that
senior citizens(老年公民) could ride (or take buses) for half fare(费用). When he
dropped his three quarters in the box, the driver demanded (or asked for)
identification(身份证明). John took out an ID card. “You need a special CTA
card,” said the driver. John did not have the Chicago Transit Authority(交通管
理署) card because he lives in New York and was in Chicago visiting his two sons.
“Put in another three quarters,” said the driver, “or get off the bus.”
One privilege(专利;特权) of old age is being stubborn (固执). John said,
“ Give me back my quarters, and I'll get off.”
“I can’t — it’s in the box. If you don’t get off, I’ll call the police,” said he,
which he did. Two police cars pulled up.
“I’m the criminal(罪犯),” said John Russell. Then he and the driver told
their stories.
“That’s what you called me for?” one policeman asked the driver. Another
policeman then said to John, “I'll give you three quarters.”
John shook his head, “Why should you give me the quarters? He has to give
me my quarters.”
“Where are you going?” asked the policemen.
“Downtown to have lunch with friends,” John said.
“Come on,” the policemen said. “We’ll get you your card.” So they took
him downtown to the CTA office. But the people there wouldn’t give him a
CTA card --- he needed a picture.
“What about his quarters?” one policeman asked. The officials discussed,
and the decision was made to give John’s quarters back.
When John got downstairs, the policemen asked where he was going.
“To see my friends,” John said.
“How are you going to get there?”
“On the bus. And all I’m going to pay is 75 cents.”
“Good luck,” the policemen said.
John got on a bus, dropped three quarters in the box, and said, “I’m a
senior citizen...” The driver looked at John and nodded. He didn’t know how
lucky he was to be a sensible(通情达理的)man.
71. With a Chicago Transit Authority card __.
A. men of authority(权威) can ride on a bus for half fare
B. senior citizens can pay only half fare for a bus ride

One possible version:
Smoking Is Harmful!
You can see smokers everywhere in public places, and you can find
that most of them are young people, even middle school students. It's said
that in China nearly half of the population are smokers.
Why do so many people smoke? Some think smoking is a kind of
fashion; some think smoking is a pleasure; while others believe they can
refresh themselves by smoking. In fact, smoking is a very bad habit. It does
great harm to people's health and causes a lot of diseases, such as lung cancer.
So smoking is a waste of money. Besides, many fires are caused by careless
smokers.
I do hope people can give up smoking.
