Check out some other Best Picture nominees to see if you missed any of last year’s top Hollywood films. The Imitation Game This historical thriller is about British computer scientist, Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch), the father of artificial intelligence. At the start of 19 World War II, Turing was asked to join a select team of mathematical geniuses to decode the system the Nazis used to send military messages. Besides the actual breaking of the code, Cumberbatch’s portrayal(扮演)of Turing’s personality, a mixture of decency(正派)and shyness, is also a highlight of the movie. Birdman This dark comedy film is about how Riggan Thomson, a faded star once famous for his superhero roles, struggles to regain fame. American actor Michael Keaton, 63, who has a similar experience to Thomson’s, plays the leading role. Selma A stellar cast(主要演员) including talk show queen Oprah Winfrey may be one reason to see Selma. But that the film focuses on Martin Luther King Jr.’s struggle for civil rights(民权) also makes it worth viewing. Based on the 1965 Selma to Montgomery voting rights marches, the film is a chronicle(编年史) of King’s (David Oyelowo) campaign for political rights for African-American people. The Theory of Everything We know English theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking for his significant scientific discoveries, especially his black hole theories. This biographical film reveals the scientist’s (played by Eddie Redmayne) secret romantic relationship with Jane Hawking (Felicity Jones), whom he meets and falls in love with at Cambridge and who later becomes his first wife. Boyhood American Director Richard Linklater did an experiment in this film, using the same cast for 12 years to record a boy’s growth. In two and a half hours, we see Mason, a Texas boy from a divorced family, grow from 6-year-old boy to a freshman in college. 21. How many Best Picture nominees are mentioned in the text? A. Five B. Six C. Eight D. Nine 22. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text? 19 A. Michael Keaton became famous overnight after starring in the movie Birdman. B. Alan Turing is a talented and outgoing man in The Imitation Game. C. Selma is the story of Martin Luther King Jr.’s fight for voting rights for African-Americans. D. The Theory of Everything is about how Stephen Hawking discovered his black hole theories. 23. What is Boyhood mainly about? A. How Richard Linklater did his decade-long experiment. B. The wonderful life of Mason. C. The growth of a young boy. D. How Mason spent his college years. B Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one hot August afternoon, I was reminded of an incident in my own childhood.When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage. We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing. There isn’t a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird. I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician. I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, in its fright at being captured, the bird fluttered about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician. I had left the cage out on our back porch, and on the second day of the bird’s captivity my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby. 19 The following morning when I went to see how my captive was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! I had taken excellent care of my little bird, or so I thought. Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity.” Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free. 24.Why did the writer catch a mockingbird when he was a boy of 12? A.He had just got a new cage. B.He liked its beautiful feather. C.He wanted it to sing for him. D.He wanted a pet for a companion. 25.The mockingbird died because it ______. A.was frightened to death B.ate the poisonous food its mother gave it C.refused to eat anything D.drank the poisonous water by mistake 26.What does the underlined word “ornithologist ” probably mean? A. a religious person B.a kind person C.a schoolmaster D.an expert in birds 27.What is the most important lesson the writer learned from the incident? A.Freedom is very valuable to all creatures. B.All birds put in a cage won’t live long. C.You should keep the birds from their mother. D.Be careful about food you give to baby birds. C I travel a lot in my work, and what I dislike about my job is eating alone. It 19 always makes me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking. So, room service for several nights was a better choice for me. After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston, however, I needed to get out of my room. Although the restaurant opened at 6:30, I arrived at 6:25. The waiter at the front desk made a comment(评论) about my “being there really early”. I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants. He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while. I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn’t enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment. Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. Before I left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me! When I asked for my bill about one hour later, all the people who had sat down with me came over in a big group to my table, and presented me with a red rose. And I cried! What had begun as a lonely night ended as a beautiful experience. 28. The author asked for room service because _______. A. a lot of money would be saved in this way B. he didn’t like to eat with other people around C. he didn’t wanted to be recognized by the waiters D. seeing people laughing and talking made him feel bad 29. How did the waiter feel when he saw the author come in at 6:25? A. Dissatisfied. B. Pleased. C. Surprised. D. Angry. 30. From the third paragraph, we can learn that the waiter at the front desk ______. A. knew how to attract more customers to his restaurant B. found it hard to balance his work and his family C. was getting tired of his present job 19 D. had never had such a chance to talk about his worries 31. The author wants to tell us that ______. A. people are actually all lonely in their own way B. restaurants should put the need of customers first C. the kindness of strangers can make you less lonely D. restaurants are full of surprises for lonely people D People can be addicted to different things — e.g. alcohol, drug, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive(强迫的):they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders. They feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit, charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending large amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy. There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they don’t need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets, but they are really playing an exciting game. When they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason. It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business. They consider people’s needs for love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, an d so on in their advertising and sales methods. Psychologists often use a method called “behavior therapy” to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel 19 that they have problems with money. 32. According to the psychologists, a compulsive spender is one who spends large amounts of money ___. A. and takes great pleasure from what he or she buys A. in order to satisfy his or her basic needs in life C. just to meet his or her strong psychological need B. and feels he or she is cheated 33. What is the text mainly about? A. The psychology of money-spending habits. B.The habits of compulsive spenders. C. A special psychology of bargain hunting. D.The use of the psychology of spending habits in business. 34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text? A. People spend money for exactly the same reason that they need to buy things. B. Business people and advertisers can use the psychology of people’s spending habits to increase sales. C. Business people understand the psychology of compulsive buying better than scientists do. D. Compulsive bargain hunters do not have problems with money. 35. From the text we may safely conclude that compulsive spenders or compulsive bargain hunters _____. A. are really unreasonable B. need special treatment C. are really beyond drugs D. can never get any help to solve their problems with money 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 19 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。 How Can I Fight Laziness? Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind. 36 Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day. Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 37 Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 38 Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. 39 Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people. 40 Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits. A. Knowing how to fight laziness is important B. To fight family laziness, set an example. C. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness. D. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep. E. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child. F. Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind. 19 G. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal. 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分) 第一节完形填空(共20小题,每小题1.5分,满分30分) One October morning, the sky was clear and the sun was shining.

M:Yes,Madam.What can I do for you? W:Can you tell me where the City Bank is? M:It's upstairs,across from the Bakery Shop. W:Thanks.Do you know what time it opens? M:It should be open now because it's already 9:00. W:That’s good.And can you tell me how often the buses leave for the City Center? M:Every thirty minutes,and you’ve just missed one. W:Oh,dear.Then I’ll have to wait for another thirty minutes. (Text8) W:Hi,Bill. How’s it going today? M:Hi,Mom.It is really tiring walking around and seeing places. W:Yes,I know. M:I saw a ground floor apartment with four bedrooms today. W:Four bedrooms?It sounds huge. M:Yeah,it was.But the rent was quite cheap.And it was a nice place.A big living room with big windows.And the furniture was modern. W:Sounds great.Did you take it? M:Well,no.The place was shared.Three guys are looking for a fourth roommate.They seemed nice enough,but the place was a mess.It's a shame because the place is not bad,quite close to school. 19 W:Don't worry.Try to see more places tomorrow.Hopefully one of them will be alright.Or ask your classmates for more information. (Text9) M:Today we have with us Mel Flynn,an Australian teenager who started diving before ten.That's still pretty young!Mel! W:It is,I suppose,but there were quite a few other kids on the course. M:And did your parents come with you? W:My dad did the diving course too,so he could dive with me when I was old enough to dive with a qualified adult.At first I thought he’d be too protective,bu in fact he allowed me quite a lot of freedom--without taking any silly risks,of course. M:Do you have any brothers or sisters? W:Wel1,I’ve got a little brother,and he is a skateboarder.He likes surfing too,but he isn’t too interested in going under the waves. M:And what do you do to relax when you're not at school or diving? W:I don't have much time for relaxing,really,but it doesn't bother me because I enjoy what I do so much.I suppose if I don't live here,I'd be doing something else,and I might be loving that too.But it's as if it's been clear from when I was tiny that this is the right thing for me. (Text 10) M:Hello,everyone!Most of you want to know how to find a part-time job and I'll introduce something about that.I was lucky enough to get my first part-time job because my mom shopped several times a week in our local grocery store and she heard that they needed staff.I worked part-time during high school and full-time during summer holiday and during breaks from college.My brother worked in a supermarket in our neighborhood too.My younger sister worked in the drug store across the street which,of course,was also visited by my mom on a regular basis.More than a few years later,that's still the best way to find a job,though I had never heard of the term“networking”back then. You now can start your online job search by visiting the sites that focus on part-time chance.Searching by type of position will produce a list of openings.There's also a list of national employers that hire part-time workers.Enter how many miles you're willing to travel into the search engine and it will give you a list of jobs that meet your requirements. Next,make sure you dress properly,get ready to complete an application ,and are prepared for an interview. 19查看更多
