3.Turning strangers into neighbors and streets into neighborhoods,Neighbors Day Aotearoa is back for the third year as a national celebration of neighborliness.
Neighbors Day Aotearoa (NDA) on 23-24 March will give all Kiwis a great opportunity to connect with others in their immediate neighborhood.
Over the weekend,thousands of neighbors all around the country will gather together to get to know each other,and make connections and support systems that will continue to enrich their lives long after the weekend has ended.
A shining example of neighborly spirit inspired by NDA is Victoria Dawson-Wheeler,a 32-year-old from Arch Hill,Auckland,who won the Neighbors Day Aotearoa story competition last year.
Victoria organized a big breakfast for her whole neighborhood,asking local business to take part by donating enough coffee,muffins,and bacon for everyone who came along.
She also created a gift-swap exercise called"Love thy neighbor"where each participant had to talk with at least two other households in the neighborhood.
It was a huge success."I was blown away by the generosity and thoughtfulness of everyone present,"she says."It's so hard to meet people,nobody wants to be the first to say‘hi',but once you're past that stage it's great!"
Since Neighbors Day,Arch Hill has become known for its community-mindedness.When babies are born,people drop by with food and clothes for the new parents.When a neighbor is in trouble,people are now much more likely to lend a hand.
"These small but important changes in neighborhoods are what Neighbors Day Aotearoa is all about.More and more of this happening tight around the country will mean neighborliness is increasing in every community.We're already starting to see this movement grow,"says John McCarthy,one of the organizers.
With better connected streets,neighborhoods,and more everyday neighborliness,New Zealand communities will be stronger and more able to deal with many of the social concerns that exist in Aotearoa.
The Neighbors Day website (www.neighborsday.org.nz) features NDA success stories to help inspire New Zealanders to take part in Neighbors Day.Participants who sign up through the website will be sent a resource pack with lots of great ideas to organize an NDA celebration that works£or their neighborhood.

28.What can we learn about NDA from the text?B
A.It will be held in Arch Hill.
B.It is aimed at building neighborly spirit.
C.It's mainly organized by Victoria Dawson-Wheeler.
D.It gives people a chance to share their neighbor's stories.

A.shocked  B.pleased  C.worried  D.disappointed

8.It′s that time of year again-the annual 1/2Marathon in Nashville,Tennessee.This year,I had the opportunity to ride in the pace truck.This is the truck that stays in front of the fastest racer,keeping track of the average time.
"All right people,let′s go,let′s go!"People on the streets started cheering for the runners that were following us a few yards behind.I looked out the back of the truck,watching the progress of the race.About 20 racers were still sticking together in one group.I knew that would change once we got further in the race.
Riding in the pace truck was a great experience.In addition to getting to see the race from a unique perspective ( 視角),I also had the opportunity to speak with some of the coaches of the racers."The course is quite difficult because it has a lot of hills,"said Andrey Brarnoe,who was the manager for two of the men and one woman in the race."So they started running slow and are picking up in the second half."
After about 18miles,the race started getting tense.The group of racers that had stayed together for the whole race began to split up (拉開(kāi)).It wouldn′t be long until a winner appeared.
That prediction came true a few miles later,when Simon Wangai pulled ahead of the rest racers.Wangai remained the position for the rest of the race,winning first place.
After the race,I spoke with Wangai,asking him what he thought as he ran ahead of the pack."I decided to pull ahead of the pack because I wanted to win,"he said.
I also had the opportunity to speak with Olena Shurkhno,the winner of the women′s race."The first goal at my bottom heart was showing a good result."said she,by adding"When runing a marathon,you′re not expecting a fast time.I changed my strategy,and I decided to run to win."

24.It can be inferred that the author isA.
A.a(chǎn) reporter to cover the Marathon
B.a(chǎn) racer taking part in the Marathon
C.the driver of the pace truck

B.a(chǎn)s a dark horse
C.a(chǎn)s people had expected
D.a(chǎn) few miles ahead of other racers
26.At the beginning of the marathon,which was Olena Shurkhno concerned about most?C
A.Keeping running in the lead
B.Helping other racers go further
C.A satisfying result of the race
D.The fastest time in the race

C.1/2 Marathon is an annual event of about 20 miles.
D.Running slow in the first half and speeding up in the second is the strategy used in the race.

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.
