8．High-tech machines have made life easier for millions around the world．However，some people still prefer low-tech ways of doing things．Here's an example of why this is happening．You can microwave a frozen hamburger in 60 seconds．However，it won't taste as good as one you cook on the stove．And if you're in that much of a hurry，you probably won't take time to toast the bun．High-tech cooking saves time，but it doesn't make for better tasting meals．
Most people get their news from high-tech sources like television or the Internet．This has many advantages．For example，electronic news is more up to date than newspapers or magazines．It's also more exciting to see live and videotaped news events than photographs．However，newspapers and magazines have some important advantages．They give more background and details．They also let you read the parts that are important to you and skip the rest．
Other high-tech time savers have similar disadvantages．For example，most people use the phone or email to stay in touch with friends and family members who live in other places．But when you use the Internet or the phone，you don't always think carefully about what you are saying，and sometimes you forget the important things you want to communicate．Similarly，when you word-process a homework assignment instead of handwriting it，you can check your spelling electronically and put in fancy headings．However，some students are so busy with the computer that they don't pay enough attention to the actual words they are writing．

29．What do we know about high-tech cooking？D
A．It can't make much food．
B．It is popular with every family．
C．It makes food slower than low-tech cooking．
D．It can't make food as delicious as low-tech cooking．
30．What is an advantage of the news in newspapers compared to that on the Internet？C
A．Quick updates．
B．Live news events．
C．Detailed information．
D．Convenient news sources．
31．Which of the following proverbs can summarize the text？C
A．Easy come，easy go．
B．Better late than never．
C．Every coin has two sides．
D．Learn to walk before you run．

分析 本文通過對比生活中的高科技產(chǎn)物和低科技的產(chǎn)物，發(fā)現(xiàn)它們其實各有利弊，所以說任何事物都具有兩面性．

解答 29-31．DCC
29．D 考查細節(jié)理解．根據(jù)"High-tech cooking saves time，but it doesn't make for better tasting meals"可知，高科技烹飪節(jié)省時間，但它并不能讓食物變得美味．故選D．
30．C 考查細節(jié)理解．根據(jù)"newspapers and magazines have some important advantages．They give more background and details"可知，與互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上的新聞相比，報紙上的新聞優(yōu)勢是能獲得更加詳細的信息．故選C．
31．C 考查推理判斷．根據(jù)文章中的對比分析可知，任何事物都具有兩面性，都是有利有弊的，所以說"每一枚硬幣都有兩面"．故選C．

點評 閱讀理解考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

15．In Hollywood，as in war，truth is often the first casualty．Stories told on screen demand heroes，devils and a clear plot line．Real life，on the other hand，tends to get messy-the lines between good and bad often cross．Two years ago，director Oliver Stone was severely criticized in the press for playing fast and loose with certain facts in JFK．Jim Sheridan's In the Name of the Father has largely escaped such criticism in the U．S．，but only because Americans are unfamiliar with the story it is based on．In Britain，where people have lived with the case of the Guildford Four for 20 years，the film's reception has been considerably stormier．
The movie tells the tale of Gerry Conlon，who along with three other youths was falsely accused of killing five people in a 1974 I．R．A．bombing of two pubs in Guildford，England．The four-three men and a woman-served 14 years in prison before their convictions（定罪）were overturned．Seven friends and relatives of Conlon's （the Maguire Seven），including his father，also served many years on false charges of having made the bombs．
Though Sheridan never set out to make a documentary，he has been attacked for needlessly twisting the facts of the case．The film，for instance，shows the Maguire Seven on trial with the Guildford Four，though the cases were tried separately．In some of its most affecting scenes，it shows Conlon，played by Daniel Day-Lewis，sharing a jail cell with his father，though the two were often not even in the same prison．A grand and heroic part is carved for actress Emma Thompson，playing Conlon's lawyer，Gareth Peirce，but in reality Peirce was a minor figure and another lawyer，Alastair Logan，deserves most of the credit for freeing the Four．An important scene in which Peirce steals a crucial piece of evidence from a police file was fabricated for the film；it was a police investigation that uncovered the buried evidence of Conlon's innocence．
Sheridan insists that he was seeking an"emotional honesty"and that the real subject of his film was a son's changing relationship with his father．But if that was his intended subject，say some close to the case，the director should have used someone else's story．"The truth is that Gerry Conlon had very little time for his father，"says Sean Smyth，an uncle．"It's a good film，well acted and everything，"admits Conlon's aunt，Anne Maguire．"But I think if they'd put more of the true facts in，it would have been a much more powerful film．"

58．It can be inferred from the first paragraph that．C
A．films made in Hollywood are often the reflection of real life
B．Oliver Stone，a well-known director，deserved high praise for his work in JFK
C．the film In the Name of the Father is based on the case of Guildford Four
D．Unlike Americans，British people think highly of the film In the Name of the Father
59．According to the context，the underlined word"fabricated"（Para 3，） means"B"
A．remarked             B．invented       C．convinced             D．inspired
60．Which of the following statements is the truth about the case Guildford Four？A
A．It was the police that finally proved Colon's innocence．
B．In all，seven people，including Conlon's father，were put into prison．
C．Colon and his father were tried together at the court．
D．Emma Thompson，Colon's lawyer，played a key role in freeing him．

19．A new"Rembrandt"painting created in Amsterdam is making headlines around the world．However，the authentic-looking masterpiece is not the work of the 17th-century Dutch artist．It is a new painting that uses technology to imitate Rembrandt's technique so perfectly that it could easily be mistaken for one created by the great artist himself．
It took a team 18 months to complete the clever fake．Called the"Next Rembrandt，"it uses data and technology to bring one of the greatest artists of all time back to life．
The team began by collecting data from the Dutch artist's 346 paintings to help them imitate his technique，choice of color，structure，and topic，as closely as possible．Once ready，the individual elements were put together to form the face and the bust （半身像）in the same size as the original paintings created by the Dutch artist．The team then used technology to add depth to the 2D image．Once ready，a 3D printer was used to bring the"Next Rembrandt"back to life-a portrait of a white male between 30 and 40 years old，wearing black clothes，a white collar，and hat．
An expert in the team says the goal of the project was to start a discussion about how data and technology could become an essential part of the art world．While the project did receive some criticism from a few experts，many art historians including Rembrandt experts were incredibly supportive．They even acted as advisors to ensure that the"Next Rembrandt"would be a masterpiece-one that even the famous Dutch artist would be proud of．
Born in Amsterdam in 1606，Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn is one of the world's most famous artists．The productive painter was famous for his portraits thanks to his ability to grab realistic emotions．Unfortunately，like many artists of his time，Rembrandt's talents were not recognized during this lifetime．The artist died penniless in 1669，after suffering through many years of hardship．

32．What appeared in the media's headlines according to Paragraph 1？C
A．A Dutch artist．
B．A new technology．
C．A new"Rembrandt"painting．
D．An art exhibit in Amsterdam．
33．Why did the team start the project？A
A．To try to use data and technology on art works．
B．To make a new masterpiece by Rembrandt．
C．To prove new technology is great．
D．To create an art alternative．
34．From the last paragraph，we can know Rembrandt．D
A．was famous for painting scenery．
B．was born in Amsterdam in 1669．
C．was world-famous when he was alive．
D．suffered a lot when he was alive．
35．What can be the best title for the text？A
A．Computer Created"Rembrandt"Painting
B．Experts Work Hard on a New Rembrandt
C．A Famous Dutch Artist and his Works
D．Modern Technology of Imitating．
