Passage 8(2012 連云港，七)

    請認真閱讀下面短文，在短文后表格中的空白處填上適當 的單詞(注意:每空1個單詞) 。

    CCTV cameras catch action In UK,Closed Circuit Television ( CCTV) cameras are everywhere. They help the police solve crimes and keep the streets safe .But that's not all they do. They also catch people doing very stupid or smart things.

    One of the videos is of a British woman Mary Bale.She clearly doesn’t like cats. In 2010 she was caught on CCTV throwing one into a dustbin. The video shows Mary walking down a quiet street. All of a sudden,she notices Lola the cat jump onto a fence. Mary stops to pick up Lola and drops her into a large dustbin. Lola was saved fifteen hours later.And Mary was arrested for causing unnecessary suffering to an animal. She was fined (罰款) £ 250 and was not allowed to own pets for five years.

    Another video shows ‘‘Britain's drunkest man”. He's been at a party at London's Savoy Hotel. And he’d obviously had a few too many glasses of beer. At about 2 a. m., he was kicked out for being too drunk.So,he decided to walk home. On the way,CCTV cameras filmed him falling down stairs and crossing the roads madly...A Savoy Hotel waiter later said, “It's amazing he didn't hurt himself badly."     Sometimes they also record smart events. Once a British band The Get Out Clause didn't have any money to make a music video. So,they came up with an unbelievable idea.They set up their instruments ( 樂器 ) and played a song in front of eight CCTV cameras. And then,according to the English Freedom of Information Act,they asked for a copy of all the footages (視頻) ，which they edited. The result is that a totally new music video was made,and it didn't cost them a penny.

    Title: CCTV cameras catch action

Passage 12(2011黑龍江哈爾濱，A) 

    Venice is an attractive city in Italy.Tourists throughoul ihe world love traveling to Venice. But sometimes you’ll have such strange expe- riences.One moment you walk across tlie Rialto Bridge ,and there ’s  nothing speoial.Unfortunately,when you come back to the bridge an hour later,it’s underwater and everyone's wearing rain hoots.

    That?s just the way it has always been,which may be considered seriously by Italian government. Before the sea comes to Venice,the government has decided to build the MOSE gates. Actually (實際上) , there were many kinds of gates that were built to stop the floods,hut all the gates were just built on the ground. Besides,the flooding was becoming worse. Industrial (工業(yè)的) factories buill nearby on the mainland also made the condition get worse,causing the city to sink about 0. 75 feet in the 20th century.

    So the Italian government asked some of Italy's biggest construction and engineering companies to build the MOSE project,which was planned to be built under the sea water to stop floods.

It's nearly the size of a 20-story building. Before the gates are in use,they are under the sea and full of water. When the flood comes,the water in the gates will be poured out,and then the gates will be filled with air. So the gates can go up with the sea water. Once they’re in the right place,they will stop the sea water pouring into Venice.These gates will be able to deal with floods up to 10 feet,and as long as the sea level (平面) rises no more than two feet in the next 100 years,the MOSE will work as expected.

    The MOSE project is now two-thirds done.The head engineer,Giovanni Cecconi,said, uThis is a war.During the war,it's not impor?tant that you win. Ifs important that youVe alive. We're alive. 'Anyway,this project is saving Venice from falling.

Laughing,Papa said ,“How about pitching? You need some practice."

    No Bollywood movie is thought complete without a few songs and dances.In fact,music is an important part of     Bollywood movies. Even a bad movie can still do well if the music is good. Music directors are sometimes more popular than the film stars. A Bollywood movie has five to six songs with at least three songs to show what the dances mean.

Bollywood stars are followed by news reporters just as often as Hollywood stars.The personal lives of actors and actresses catch the headlines (頭版頭條) ，just as they do in the United States.

    The Oscars are a very exciting time of the year for actors and actresses in America. Bollywood has its own form of the Oscars,and they are also very exciting.
