When you watch a movie in the cinema, you may wonder how “the moving pictures” is made and where the voices, and noises and music come from. Now here is the answer.
In modern times, the middle part of a cinema film has lots of small photographs, each one of which is different from the one before it. Each photograph is brought in front of a strong light, and there it stops for a very small part of a second. This photograph, therefore, appears on the screen, and we see it. Then the light is covered and the next photograph is moved to the position in the front of the strong light. Meanwhile, the metal cover turns away from the light. Thus, the second photograph is shown on the screen. This is done again and again, twenty-four times a second, and we think we are watching a moving picture on the screen. But nothing on the screen actually moves. ”The moving picture” is in fact made up of a lot of bits. We see about 86,000 different pictures every hour, but none of them moves.
The voices, noises and music are recorded on the side of the cinema film. The record looks like marks of strange shapes. The side of the film passes in front of another light, and the rays of light which pass through change as the marks change. These marks have been made from the voices and other sounds of the people and events in front of the cinema when the film is being made. The marks may be considered as “printed sounds”.
1. When a cinema film is shown, how long does each photograph appear on the screen?
A. One twenty-third of a second.
B. One twenty-fourth of a second
C. A few seconds
D. One thirty-fifth of a second.
2. Why can we see pictures moving on the screen?
A. We see about 86,000 different pictures every hour.
B. Each picture is a little different from the former.
C. Photographs change quickly.
D. Both B and C.
3. What is a cinema film made up of?
A. Small photographs and a strong light.
B. Small photographs and the sounds.
C. A lot of bits.
D. Voices and photographs.
4. Which is the true about the sound record?
A. It sounds strange.
B. It looks as irregular marks.
C. It is printed in the middle of a film.
D. It is made while the film is being shown on the screen.

It was on a winter past midnight of 1971 when I was driving our big V8 station wagon back to our hometown. Next to me, my husband was  36  asleep and snoring (打鼾) loudly.
It was true that he worked sixty or more hours per week, and then in the evenings he worked as my dance  37 . We had to travel away from home for the dance classes on four, or   _38  five nights per week, and then he 39  have to be up and about again by six of the following dawn to get to his  40  job.
We had agreed that I should drive home on those late nights so he could at least get some _41  sleep. But I worked hard, too, and I would also be up at six of the following morning to get our half-dozen kids  42  for school. As well, I would then have to  43  the dance lessons for that evening.
On that long cold night I was fighting to stay  44 , but sticking to "the master's rule" of not playing my  45 . He needed his sleep, he said. I  46  down the window, yet the bitter-cold wind did little to revive (振奮) me. I was already driving about ten miles  47  the speed limit,  48 , we were still forty-five minutes away from home.
I studied the road up ahead and  49  in the near view mirror. There was not a car 50 a black night ahead and behind me. There were no Officers of the Law to be seen, and so I 51 the speed by another ten miles per hour. I had no great need for a speeding ticket, but I wanted to get home as quickly as I could.
"Get into the other lane!" sounded a loud and  52  voice.
I swiftly changed lanes, and as I did, a car without headlights pulled from the side of the road. I screamed at the top of my lungs, "I  53  that car by mere inches! The fool!

When you first meet a disabled person, what is your first reaction? Curiosity? Sympathy? If you experience any of these emotions, you are not alone.Chances are that you don’t regularly associate with someone who is disabled.Here are four points to keep in mind if you should happen to meet a disabled person.
Disabled people can lead active lives
With few exceptions, a disability does not prevent someone from working, raising a family, or taking part in social activities.Many sports and recreation programs have been adapted to a person with a disability.Instead of concentrating on the disability, look at the person the same way you would any normal person.
It’s all right to ask questions
Many people are afraid of offending someone by asking about their disability.When meeting them for the first time, it’s natural to be curious about who he or she is, and where they’re from.Asking questions is usually acceptable, as long as you use common sense.Don’t, for example, ask a blind person how he feeds and bathes himself.
Offer help when necessary
You see a woman in a wheelchair having trouble entering a building.It’s usually appropriate to lend a hand if someone is having obvious difficulty, but keep in mind that not everyone will be willing to accept your help.Unless the woman in the wheelchair is in danger, you do your part.
Remember that we all have obstacles to overcome
No matter who we are, each of us has a weakness or challenge to face.Like you, a disabled person would much rather be accepted for who they are, rather than be pitied.Many friends have said to me, “I often forget that you are blind.” To me, that is the top compliment(贊揚).
1.Why are you curious when you first see disabled people?
A.They can’t live normally.           B.You seldom deal with them.
C.You look down upon them.         D.They look quite different.
2.What should you do if you find a disabled person can manage it?
A.You had better lend him or her a hand.
B.You pretend that you haven’t seen him or her.
C.You should encourage him or her to try.
D.You had better let him or her alone.
3.From this passage we learn that ____.
A.the author is blind himself
B.a(chǎn) disabled person needs pitying
C.not everyone has a weakness
D.some people have no difficulty

No Mobile Means You’re Not in Touch
My household now has four mobile phones: one for me; one each for my eldest children, the twin boys; and one for my 15-year-old daughter. Only my 12-year-old son does not (yet) have his own mobile. In other words, we’re now in line with national figures, which show that Australia has 19 million mobile phones for a population of just over 20 million people. Among 15-to 17-year-olds, nearly nine out of 10.
The reality is that a mobile phone is the coolest thing of all for a teenager to own. It’s even more important than a television, a DVD player or access to the internet. If you don’t have a mobile you are, quite literally, out of touch.
Of course, there are good and bad sides to mobiles. In my global media world, I’ve lived with a mobile switched on 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for the past ten years. At the same time, here in Perth, I started a movement on talkback radio called CAMPIR (Campaign Against Mobile Phones in Restaurants). Nothing annoys me more than people who feel that an incoming mobile call is more important than the company they are with at a restaurant or even at their dining table at home, but I believe that in the long term, we will have a revolt against the intrusion of mobiles into our personal lives.
There was a study in New Zealand last year among young teenagers that showed a quarter have used text messaging to end a relationship. Here in Australia, I’ve read of people being fired by text. That’s cold. On the other hand, lots of parents---myself included---feel their children are safer if they have their mobile with them when they are away from home.
I’ve even read that the use of mobiles among kids may mean that they smoke less. Phones are a stronger status symbol than cigarettes among children and also give them something to do with their hands.
Psychologists, though, argue that mobiles are actually a way for kids to bypass their parents. They can communicate constantly with their friends without their parents knowing anything of the conversations. No matter what the future brings, I don’t expect ever to have fewer mobiles in the house. On the contrary, the next challenge is to see if I can get through the rest of this year without having to buy a mobile phone for my youngest child.
1.According to the passage, a mobile phone is the coolest thing for a teenager to possess because _________.
A.In their opinion, the mobile phone is the most fashionable possession
B.A mobile phone is the most useful tool in the life.
C.The teenager keeps in contact with others exactly by using a mobile phone.
D.The Internet is less important than the mobile phone.
2.,Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.In New Zealand most young teenagers have used text messaging to end a relationship.
B.The writer doesn’t think his children can avoid danger if they have their mobile with them .
C.The use of mobiles among kids may contribute to their less smoking.
D.Cigarettes are the strongest status symbol among children.
3.The underlined word “bypass” in the fifth paragraph probably means __________.
A. contact       B. avoid        C. inform        D. oppose
4.  It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A. The children in the family each have a mobile phone.
B. About 60% of the children aged 15-17 have phones in Australia.
C. The writer is likely to buy a mobile phone for his youngest child this year.
D. The writer doesn’t agree that children should own a mobile phone.

In insurance theory, moral hazard is the name given to the increased risk of immoral behavior, and thus a negative outcome (“hazard”), because the person who caused the problem doesn’t suffer the full (or any) consequences, or may actually benefit.Such a concern typically arises in the context of a contract (for example, an insurance policy).
The most well known examples of moral hazard come from insurance.For example:
Fire insurance increases the motivation to commit arson (縱火), especially if someone is operating a failing business and decides that they’d rather have the cash from the insurance proceeds on the buildings than the buildings themselves.(The value of a business often is based on profitability; after arson, the owner can claim the business was profitable.) In a worst case, the building is over-insured or valuable contents are removed but claims are filed that they were destroyed in the fire.
In finance, low level of effort by the agent (employee) is called the “moral hazard problem” according to agency theory.The more autonomy (自主) the agent enjoys and the greater the information the agent possesses, and the greater the specialized knowledge required to perform the task, the greater the chances for the occurrence of moral hazard.
The problem of moral hazards for insurance can’t be eliminated, but can be minimized.For example:
Getting detailed information to evaluate the value of what is being insured, rather than simply taking the word of the person buying the insurance.
Requiring that there be a deductible(扣除額) (an initial up-front sum which the insured must pay out of his or her own pocket in case of a loss), and/or only paying out a percentage of the loss (say, 80 or 90 percent) via a coinsurance clause.
72.What might be the headache for the insurance company after a fire?
A.Not knowing who set the fire.
B.The owner might over-claim the loss.
C.Where to get the insurance fee paid.
D.How to punish those who cheated the company.
73.What might be the best way not to suffer over-loss in paying back insurance according to the above passage?
A.Investigate carefully after a fire.
B.Try to get as much detail information about the insurance.
C.Try to catch hold of the person who committed arson.
D.Request the buyer of insurance to pay more. 
74.The two examples in the above passage are applied to ______.
A.help people to have reasonable insurance
B.present the difficulties the insurance companies have
C.bring up a problem and a solution in insurance business
D.invite people to buy more profitable insurance
75.The above passage is mainly about ______.
A.a(chǎn) new theory in insurance                                    B.a(chǎn) moral challenge in business
C.a(chǎn) common business phenomenon             D.moral hazard in insurance

While watching the games the other night, I came across an unbelievable sight. It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of courage.
The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks. For one reason or another, two of them false started, so they were disqualified. That left only one to complete. It would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race against, even though the time on the clock is important.
I watched the man dive off the bock and knew right away that something was wrong. I’m not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold — his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle. The crowd started to laugh. Clearly this man was not a medal competitor.
I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out.
But in those few awful strokes, the crowd had changed.
No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and shout “Come on, you can do it!” and he did.
A clear minute past the average swimmer, this young man finally finished his race. The crowd went wild. You would have thought that he had won the gold, and should have. Even though he recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors.
Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race. His country had been invited to Sydney.
In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals feeling they have somehow been cheated out of gold, or when they act so proudly in front of their competitors, it is nice to watch an underdog.
68.From the passage we can learn that the young man _______.
A. made his turn to start back pitifully    
B. was skillful in freestyle in the game
C. swam faster than the average swimmer   
D. was not capable enough to win the medal
69.   The crowd changed their attitudes because _______.
A. they felt sorry for the young man                 
B. they wanted to show their sympathy
C. they were moved by the young man              
D. they meant to please the young man
70.   According to the passage, “it is nice to watch an underdog” probably means _______.
A. it’s amusing to watch a man with awful swimming skills
B. it’s amazing to watch an ordinary man challenging himself
C. it’s cheerful for athletes to act proudly before their competitors
D. it’s brave enough for some athletes to remove the silver medals
71.   What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Go for it!                                      B. Try again!
C. Compete for Gold!                         D. Break a Record!
