【題目】The producer of a new Indonesian movie about President Obama’s childhood years in Jakarta(雅加達(dá)) is hoping that interested Americans will flock to see the film, Little Obama, in theatres across the country.

Little Obama is the creation of Damien Dematra, an Indonesian writer and artist who has worked on the project since November when he was struck with the idea of writing about the time a young Obama lived in Jakarta with his mother and stepfather in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The film is based on a novel published in March Obama Anak Menteng, and focuses on the president’s childhood friendships in Indonesia.

The novel and the film are fictionalized(把……編成小說) accounts of the president’s time in Jakarta and are based on interviews with people who are childhood friends and neighbours of Mr. Obama. Many Indonesians share a deep pride about a man who spent part of his shaping years in the country and went on to become U.S. president.

The film star is a 14-year-old Hasan Faruq Ali, an American who has lived in Indonesia with his family for about 10 years. Like the president, he is the son of a white mother and a black father. Since filming began, he has been under the shine of media attention. “My whole life changed overnight,” he says.

The film, which was made on a budget of $1 million, won’t get its first public screening until Wednesday, but ads for the movie on YouTube have got a few thousand hits. It isn’t clear whether Little Obama will get a U.S. release(發(fā)行), but the film’s producer says he is in talks with a U.S. distributor(發(fā)行人).

【1】What is the film Damien Dematra produced mainly about?

A. The friendship between America and Indonesia.

B. The political views of Obama from his childhood.

C. The determination and hard work of young Obama.

D. Mr. Obama’s friends when he was young in Indonesia.

【2】Which is NOT true about Obama and Hasan Faruq Ali?

A. Their nationality is American.

B. They shoot a film when they are young.

C. they have the experience of living in Indonesia.

D. Hasan has a white mother and a black father.

【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. The future of Little Obama is unknown.

B. Little Obama will be popular in America.

C. Little Obama will be popular in Indonesia.

D. Ads for Little Obama proved unsuccessful.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】A

【解析】文章介紹一部印尼電影《Little Obama》，該電影講述的是美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬在雅加達(dá)生活的一段童年時(shí)光。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容The film is based on a novel published in March Obama Anak Menteng, and focuses on the president’s childhood friendships in Indonesia.可知，Damien Dematra制作的這部電影是關(guān)于奧巴馬總統(tǒng)在印尼的童年友誼的。故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章可知，Hasan Faruq Ali是在電影中飾演奧巴馬的人，根據(jù)第五段的內(nèi)容可知，他們的國籍都是美國；他們都有生活在印尼的經(jīng)歷；Hasan有白人媽媽，黑人爸爸。故A、C、D都是正確的。B項(xiàng)說的是他們年輕時(shí)拍電影，顯然不對。故本題選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段的最后一句It isn’t clear whether Little Obama will get a U.S. release(發(fā)行), but the film’s producer says he is in talks with a U.S. distributor(發(fā)行人).可知，電影Little Obama的未來是未知的。故選A。

【題目】Thousands of people began pouring into Pennsylvania from other states. They wanted to buy lottery tickets(彩票). The tickets cost only $ 0.9 each. But that small spending could bring them a reward of $ 90 million .That was the second largest lottery jackpot （積累獎(jiǎng)金）in history.

More than 87 million tickets were bough t for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing. Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80．The chance of winning was one in 9.6 million, but that little chance certainly didn’t affect ticket sales. In the last few days before the drawing, tickets were sold at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second.

Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action. Others say the lottery is a stock market for poor people. It allows them to dream about wealth they’ll probably never have.

But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized gambling. Some critics note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets. There are also many addicts who take the game seriously. They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets. Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit.

Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to come from new taxes. The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizens. But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice, under the name of social progress. Whether you regard stock lotteries right or not, you cannot refuse to accept their extreme popularity with many Americans.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Buying lotteries may help people become wealthy overnight.

B. Politicians like lotteries because they don’t have to pay extra taxes.

C．The profits from lotteries are usually used for the public.

【題目】As any parent knows too well, sometimes a little white lie is the only way to make a naughty child quiet. Indeed, parents have shared the top white lies they’ve told their children. While some of them are amusing, others are somewhat cruel.

“Father Christmas is watching you,” “Carrots will make you see in the dark” and “Your pet has gone to live on a farm” are among the top white lies parents tell their children. The top 20 list of little lies that adults use shows that four in five parents have told their children something that isn’t true. The threat of Father Christmas is on the top, with 62 percent of parents employing St. Nick to keep their kids under control. The second on the list is: “We’ll see”, which any little one knows really means “no”.

The majority of British people say that they lie to their children to protect their innocence, to save them from being upset or to stop them behaving badly. The top white lie told to kids about their pets is “your pet has to live on a farm in the countryside”, which is employed after one dies or has gone missing. On average, parents think that children are ready to start learning about death at the age of seven and a half.

One 62-year-old recalled that when he was four, his cat ran away, because it kept having its tail pulled. It was 53 years later that it was revealed that the cat had actually been given away to stop it from scratching the furniture. One respondent (應(yīng)答者) said that he still remembered that when he was young, he believed his father’s statement that the entire world used to be in black and white before colour photography came along.

Forty percent of parents say that they would definitely lie to their children to keep up their belief in Father Christmas, and over all say they’d certainly tell the truth about a pet dying. However, one in ten parents say they’ve replaced their children’s dead pet with a one looking the same to cheat their children into believing it was still alive and well, found the study by Blue Cross pet charity.

【1】The threat of Father Christmas which is used to control children shows that .

A. some children fear and respect Father Christmas

B. Father Christmas is more important than parents

C. children should learn more about festivals

D. Father Christmas does live in the world

【2】What can we conclude from Paragraph 4?

A. Children don’t understand why their parents tell white lies.

B. Parents’ white lies may do harm to their children.

C. Children don’t really mind their parents’ white lies.

D. Parents’ white lies may leave a deep impression on their children

【3】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Parents’ different understandings of while lies.

B. Parents’ different attitudes to telling white lies.

C. Parents’ different worries about white lies.

D. Parents’ different white lies.

How to get siblings to get along

One of the greatest gifts of parenthood is seeing your children form a relationship with each other that is independent of you. By giving them someone else to play with, you can free up some time for yourself. Here are four techniques you can use to help your children appreciate each other while they are young.

1. 【1】 The No. 1 thing parents can do to help their kids stay on good terms with each other is not to compare them with each other. Never say “Your sister never...” or “Why can’t you do what your brother does?” 【2】

2. Stay out of the way. Try not to get too involved in your kinds’ arguments. Learning cooperation and problem-solving is an important skill in life. 【3】 And don’t blame the older one for not “knowing better”. That puts pressure on the older child and leads to unhappiness.

3. Activities and opportunities. Have your kids go to their siblings’ games and activities. 【4】 “My kids go to each other’s activities, and take part in activities together,” says Patricia Walters-Fischer, mother of two. Not only do her children go, but they also offer support, encouraging each other before a big game or performance and offering comfort when things don’t go well.

4. Vacations. Don’t ignore the value of a family vacation for bringing siblings together. When kids are away from their friends and forced to spend time together, they often enjoy each other. 【5】 In fact, a weekend camping trip offers some of the best opportunities for working together, having fun and experiencing something new.

A. Never shout at them.

B. Don’t compare.

C. It doesn’t need to be anything extremely great.

D. Get them involved in one another’s lives, so they can have a better appreciation of who their sibling is.

E. That only serves to fuel the competition.

F. They may need help solving a conflict, but try not to take sides.

G. Give them a project, and they will learn how to work together.

【題目】Shopping in the United States changes a lot. About ninety years ago most people shopped in small stores that were owned by one person or a family. Women went from the bakery to the butcher's to the grocer and on to the fruit and vegetable seller in order to get their food for the week.

Then about sixty years ago, supermarkets were born. In a supermarket, people could get all the different kinds of food they needed without going to different stores.

The next big change in shopping in the United States was the shopping mall. A shopping mall is a group of stores under one roof. Because malls allowed people to shop without worrying about the weather, they soon became very popular. The mall became a place for people to socialize in addition to shopping. If you walk through a mall, you will see older people sitting, chatting and drinking coffee. Malls are places for teenagers to hang out. Many teens will often just“go to the mall”and spend time with their friends.

The recent change in American shopping was the superstore. Large chain stores such as WalMart, Office Depot and Toys“R”Us have been built all across the United States. Because they are so large, they can buy goods at a great discount and sell them much cheaper than smaller stores.

Sometimes, when they are built near small towns, many of the small town stores have to close. They just cannot compete with their giant neighbors.

And now, online shopping is becoming more and more popular all over the States. People are too busy to go to the physical stores, so they go shopping over the Internet. Online shopping has lots of advantages. For instance, online stores are usually available 24 hours a day. Searching or browsing online shops can be faster than browsing the physical stores. While, online shopping also has its disadvantages. People are at higher risk of being cheated on the part of the merchant than in a physical store. And privacy of personal information may be let out.

【1】Which of the following shows the right order of shopping development in the United States?

①small stores　

②superstores　

③shopping malls

④shopping online　

⑤supermarkets

A. ①②③④⑤ B. ①⑤②③④

C. ①⑤③②④ D. ②③④①⑤

【2】Which is the place for people to spend time with others according to the passage?

A. Shopping malls. B. Small stores.

C. Supermarkets. D. Superstores.

【3】Why can the superstores sell products at much lower prices?

A. Because they are built near small towns.

B. Because they are across the United States.

C. Because they sell all kinds of products people need.

D. Because they can buy goods at a reduction in the prices.

【4】What's the disadvantage of online shopping according to the passage?

A. Wasting time.

B. Leaking personal information.

C. Fixed prices.

D. No chance to do physical activities.
