19."Getting your foot in the door is like winning the lottery.It's literally like winning the lottery if you get to have a career.And I've always felt,okay,now I've gotten this shot,and I'm lucky to have gotten this shot,and if I don't do this to the best of my ability,I've wasted this incredibly golden opportunity.And that's always been what has propelled(激勵(lì)) me."
That's what Leonardo DiCaprio said in an interview and there's no denying that he has propelled himself pretty far.He starred in some of the biggest films of his generation,playing lead roles in The Aviator,Inception,The Great Gatsby and The Wolf of Wall Street.Plus,how can we forget Titanic?
Leonardo Dicaprio,the handsome man from Titanic with boyish good looks and great charm,would go on to become one of the best and most accomplished actors of his generation-one of the most popular.Yes,DiCaprio was once regarded as an actor defined entirely by his good looks,and yet-over the course of the past decade-he's managed to change people's mind.
On Sunday night,the 41-year-old actor finally took home his first Oscar (Actor in a Leading Role) for his performance in The Revenant.
To a lengthy and loud applause from the audience,DiCaprio took the stage,but he used the time to highlight a topic much bigger than himself:global warming.
DiCaprio always fights for a good cause.On Sept.26th,2015,in the Global Citizen Festival in New York City,the actor urged everyone to save the plantet and help the underprivileged(弱勢(shì)群體).
DiCaprio has been striving more not only to get the Oscar award but also to give the audience a great movie and the best performance of the role assigned to him.He knew early on-from the age of around 15-that pursuing characters with depth is more valuable than appearing in just any film,for the sake of a bigger paycheck.He put the potential of building a career in movies before any desire for fame and,more particularly,fortune.
 
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS)
78.How did DiCaprio describe his career in the interview?By comparing it to winning the lottery.
79.In the past ten years,DiCaprio successfully turned froman actor defined entirely by his good looksinto one of the best actors of his generation.
80.According to the passage,DiCaprio keeps striving for something more than film acting and inspires people tosave the planetandcontrol global warming.
81.What has DiCaprio cherished most since he got his foot in the acting career?

分析 本文介紹了41歲的Leonardo Dicaprio獲得了奧斯卡獎(jiǎng),告訴我們無論做什么都要盡自己的全力.

解答 78.By comparing it to winning the lottery.細(xì)節(jié)概括題. 第一段Leonardo Dicaprio在一次采訪中,他將自己的事業(yè)比作買彩票中獎(jiǎng),It's literally like winning the lottery if you get to have a career,可以概括出By comparing it to winning the lottery.
79.a(chǎn)n actor defined entirely by his good looks 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.DiCaprio was once regarded as an actor defined entirely by his good looks,and yet-over the course of the past decade-he's managed to change people's mind.這句話得知,曾經(jīng)靠帥氣的外表的DiCaprio成功轉(zhuǎn)型為最出色的演員.
80.save the planet/earth,help the underprivileged,control global warming.(三個(gè)中寫出兩個(gè)即可)細(xì)節(jié)概括題.在獲獎(jiǎng)感言時(shí),he used the time to highlight a topic much bigger than himself:global warming,這句有個(gè)重要短語global warming,比他獲獎(jiǎng)更重要;此外,the actor urged everyone to save the plantet and help the underprivileged(弱勢(shì)群體).這句也可以看出他號(hào)召人們關(guān)愛地球和保護(hù)弱勢(shì)群體.
81.Pursuing characters with depth 細(xì)節(jié)概括題.最后一段得知,他作為演員不僅追求獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng),更重要的是要塑造好每一個(gè)角色.pursuing characters with depth is more valuable than appearing in just any film,可以提煉追求角色的內(nèi)心世界是他最高的追求.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是人物故事類的閱讀表達(dá),要求學(xué)生在閱讀理解的基礎(chǔ)上,根據(jù)短文后的題目,在文中找到相關(guān)的內(nèi)容,并用簡潔、準(zhǔn)確的句子,將理解的內(nèi)容,書面表達(dá)出來.做題時(shí),注意表達(dá)的內(nèi)容不要超出規(guī)定的字?jǐn)?shù).

4.In 1997,a London researcher came up with a startling idea on how humans would live in the future.Professor Michael Batty,a widely known urban planner,summed it up in one phrase-"The Computable City".By 2050,he says,there will be a convergence(集中) of computers and communication technologies,with highways and smart buildings connected via the Internet in new kinds of vast information infrastructures(基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施)."Everything around us will be some form of computer,"he wrote.
Take the old Spanish port city of Santander as an example.After an?11million  grant  in 2011,over 12,000sensors(傳感器) have been set up,recording everything from air pollution levels to free parking spaces.
Streetlights now automatically get dark when no one is around,while rubbish bins give notice to collectors when they're full.These advances save local authorities about 25% on electricity bills and 20% on waste management.
In a smart city,the information being produced is vast.Some experts estimate that by 2016we will provide 4.1terabytes(兆兆字節(jié)) of information per day per square kilometer of urban land area,which equals more than four average home computer hard drives.
But the Santander centre's purpose is not just to serve the local government.It also makes this sensor data freely available to Santander citizens themselves.Via their smart phones,citizens can access up-to-the-minute information on everything from local traffic jams,parking spaces to pollen counts(花粉量).
Other smart city projects are even more diverse.In Norway,for example,more than 40,000bus stops for local transport company Kolumbus are already making scheduled announcements via Twitter.Passengers can also scan a type of two-dimensional barcode(二維瑪) with their smart phones,which can be seen at each stop and leave messages about their experiences.
While in Boston,a system called ShotSpotter is using acoustic sensors to find out the location of gunshots quickly,helping the police reduce crime.

46.We can learn from the first paragraph that the computable cityA.
A.is a highly informational city
B.is a city where computers are seldom used
C.refers to a city someone describes in a novel
D.refers to a city where everything is automatically controlled
47.The underlined word"grant"is closest in meaning toB.
A.imaginary project
B.money aid
C.special permit 
D.policy support
48.According to the passage,in the smart city SantanderD.
A.there is much less air pollution
B.home computers are not needed any more
C.rubbish bins can deal with waste by themselves
D.people can get the newest information on anything
49.When you travel in a smart city,what can help record and keep your experiences?C
A.All the bus stops.
B.The acoustic sensors.
C.Your smart phones.
D.The local government.
50.What would be the best title for this passage?A
A.Smart Cities in Action
B.Automatic Streetlights
C.The Santander Centre
D.Information Infrastructure.

11.I used to think that life in Jim Thorpe,Pennsylvania,was filled with never-changing routines.I hated that everyone seemed to know everything about everyone else.Everyone seemed to enjoy talking about other people and their lives.I also didn't like the fact that people seemed very close-minded.I felt trapped.I felt like I was missing out on opportunities.It seemed to me that city life would be the opposite.
Then I took my first trip to New York City.I couldn't wait to experience the city.However,when I arrived in the Big Apple,it wasn't at all what I had imagined.I knew it was home to thousands of people,but I hadn't had the least expectation to see so many people on the street at one time.All the streets were filled with people.I also felt a little surprised to see that everyone was in a hurry and everything moved at such a fast pace.When I took the subway for the first time,I said hello to the middle-aged woman next to me.She looked at me with dislike and didn't say a word.
After just one day,I realized how important my small town is to me.Now I appreciate the familiar faces I see every day.I like the feeling of security and belonging my town offers.Jim Thorpe gives me a sense of community and togetherness that the city doesn't provide.I realize just how much a simple hello does for a stranger-it really can make your day a little better.
My big trip showed me that my small town really has instilled(注入) morals and values in me that I didn't even know I had.I would never have known what a big place my town holds in my heart if I had not taken that trip to New York City.

24.How did the author feel about life in Jim Thorpe at first?C
A.People there cared little about others.
B.People there liked to accept new things.
C.Living there was a great disadvantage.
D.There were many chances of career development.
25.What surprised the author most in New York City?D
A.The gestures of greeting.
B.The modern transportation.
C.The fast pace of life.
D.The crowded streets.
26.What made the author change his/her attitudes to his/her hometown?A
A.Travelling to New York City.
B.The familiar faces in Jim Thorpe.
C.A big place in his/her town.
D.Everybody likes talking about others.
27.What would be the best title for the passage?A
A.Love of my small town
B.A sense of community
C.A pleasant trip to New York City
D.Differences between big cities and small towns.
