Abby's job is__________.‎ A. looking after babies B. cleaning houses C. helping patients D. giving suggestions C LOS ANGELES - China has become the world's second-largest market for films, after North America, and China's box office earnings are growing by 30 percent a year. The country is changing the way Hollywood does business.‎ Films made or shown in China are reviewed by a board of censors（审查署）, and the film Skyfall had some parts cut. The science fiction film Cloud Atlas lost 40 minutes, mostly parts showing violence（暴力）． Films are also cut if they harm China image（形象）．‎ Some big action films have a direct China connection. The adventure Iron Man 3 was partly filmed in China, so it has also been examined by Chinese officials. "Chinese opinions also influence other films, like 2012", said Stanley Rosen at the University of Southern California. He studies China's film industry. "Even if you're not .making in China, a film like 2012 will be very careful. A film including something that hurts Chinese feelings will simply kill the market."‎ Chinese audiences love big movies with special effects. Half of Hollywood's box is from Chinese theaters, and Chinese officials last year raised the yearly percentage of film imports(进口) from 20 t0 34. Life of Pi was well received from Taiwan-born director Ang Lee, who has won his second Oscar Award for Best Director at the 85th Academy Awards Ceremony.‎ ‎"More Hollywood studios（制片公司） are finding Chinese partners for co-productions, and Disney and DreamWorks Animation(梦工厂) are putting money in tourist attractions in Shanghai." Stanley Rosen said, "It's a developing relationship, and Hollywood needs China, as the North American market has been flat. But China needs Hollywood, as well, as you see with DreamWorks and Disney going in." ‎ And China is coming to Hollywood. The Chinese company TCL has bought the right to rename the historic Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. And Dalian Wanda Group has bought a key American theater chain（连锁影院）, AMC. The ties between China and Hollywood are expected to grow further in the future.‎ ‎54. __________is the largest market for films in the world.‎ A. China B. North America C. The United States D. India ‎55. From the passage, we can infer that __________.‎ A. Chinese audiences develop Hollywood films B. Hollywood starts to do business in a Chinese way C. Chinese film market has an influence on Hollywood ‎ D. Hollywood films are shown in most of Chinese theaters ‎56. The writer uses Disney, DreamWorks Animation and TCL as examples to__________.‎ A. show the connections between China and Hollywood B. introduce the movie studios in China and Hollywood C. show how China and Hollywood help each other D. explain why more movie studios go into China D How would you like to study at an American university in China? With the news that New York University (NYU) is considering setting up a branch（分校）on Chinese mainland, the possibility of getting an American education becomes a reality. But how will Chinese students deal with a very different style of teaching? One that encourages debate（辩论）, discussion and critical thinking (批判思维)； one which puts little attention on rote learning. ‎ You know how kids ask questions all the time? Asking questions shows they are curious (好奇). So when does that natural curiosity get weak? Not at kindergarten or nursery, nor at primary school. As you grow older perhaps refusing to draw attention to yourself by asking the teacher questions, you grow quiet. If so, that's a pity, because questioning your teachers should be encouraged. After all, they're the ones who've been educated, have a lot more experience than you and perhaps have a little wisdom. When I taught joumalim at college in Scotland I enjoyed answering students' questions. Some of them raised difficult questions. I didn't always know the answers. If I didn't, I'd accept it and try to find out later.‎ At university we were encouraged to challenge our classmates and teachers. There was often a regular meeting between teachers and some students. A student would prepare a paper on a subject and the other students would criticize it. It could be frightening. But it was a way of developing critical thinking.‎ We need to differentiate critical thinking with loudmouths. We've all come across loudmouths who speak out quickly as if they knew what they were talking about. I know one loudmouth who is paid a great deal of money by a British tabloid newspaper to entertain readers with his deeply-held prejudices(偏见). You might not agree with columnist(专栏作家) Richard Littlejohn, but you have to say that he is entertaining and there is an internal logic（内在的逻辑）to his statements. Having a logical mind can help develop critical thinking.‎ My wife doesn't have a logical mind, but she does have emotional intelligence（情商）. I can't say that I have anything like her emotional intelligence. but I'd like to think some of it rubbed off on me. If you can't at least try to put yourself in someone else's shoes, how can you understand their situation, their problems and issues?‎ So try to develop your powers of critical thinking. Start with books, films, music and newspapers. And don't believe everything you read or see. Think independently.‎ ‎57. According to the passage, to develop your critical thinking, you can____________.‎ A. keep curious and follow your heart B. think logically, not emotionally C. do more reading and think actively D. voice your opinion like a loudmouth ‎58. The underlined words 66rubbed off on mc" in Paragraph 5 probably mean " __________".‎ A. helped me solve the problem better B. had some influence on me in a way C. moved it backwards and forwards D. advised me to wear others' shoes ‎59. What can be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Want to be different? Think critically B. Want to be critical? Think for yourself C. Choose NYU, choose critical thinking D. Importance of improving critical thinking 七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共8分，每小题2分）‎ The story of quinine（奎宁）[来源:学科网ZXXK]‎ Have you ever heard of quinine? It is one of many famous medicines discovered in the Amazon rainforest._____60____.‎ Quinine is used to cure malaria, a very dangerous 'disease' that is spread by mosquitoes. It is made from the bark（树皮） of the Chinchona tree. The tree is named after the Countess of Chinchona from Peru. In 1630 she was very sick with malaria and had a high fever. _____61____. .‎ People in Europe heard about this medicine and then came to the rainforest to collect the plant. It was first called quinine in 1820 by two French scientists, Mr. Pelletier and Mr. Caventou. _____62____ .‎ For almost three hundred years quinine was used to cure malaria as well as many other dangerous illnesses. In 1944 scientists made the first artificial（人造）quinine. _____63____ because many kinds of malaria cannot be cured using modern drugs anymore.‎ So remember, we must protect our rainforests because maybe other important medicines will be found.‎ 八、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）‎ Flynn McGarry,a 14-year-old American boy, controls ; the kitchen easily.

It gives us confidence and hope.

I found it boring and even heart-breaking to go shopping.‎ The time came when we had to dress up for the prom. Unwillingly, joined my friends on the trip to Macy's. Unsurely, I tried on a bright violet flowered dress and stepped out of the dressing room. A good-looking lady was standing there. She glanced at me, smiled and said, “I love your dress." She had no idea how much her praise meant to me. These magic words touched my heart and I started to love my imperfect appearance.‎ I appreciated that stranger's words of praise, which are not often heard. Now I keep reminding myself of the power of praise, even strangers, because we never know where it might lead.…‎ 书面表达评分标准 说明：先根据文章整体内容和语言表达确定档次，然后在该档次内评出分数。‎ 第一档：（15-13分）‎ 完全符合题目要求，表达思想清楚，内容丰富。使用多种语法结构和丰富的词汇，语言通顺，语意连贯，具有逻辑性。允许个别语言错误。‎ 第二档：（12-9分）‎ 符合题目要求，表达思想基本清楚，内容完整。语法结构和词汇基本满足文章需要。语言基本通顺，语意基本连贯。有少量语言错误，但不影响整体理解。‎ 第三档：（8-5分）‎ 部分内容符合题目要求．表达思想不清楚，内容不完整。语法结构和词汇错误较多，语言不通顺，影响整体理解。‎ 第四档：（4-0分）‎ 与题目有关的内容不多，不能表达出自己的思想。只是简单拼凑提示内容，所写内容难以理解。‎ 听力录音稿 ‎ Text 1: ‎ W: Would you like a cup of coffee?‎ M: OK, thank you..‎ Text 2:‎ W: What's your room number?‎ M: Two one eight.‎ Text 3:‎ W: What do you do in your spare time?‎ M: I often play basketball with my friends.‎ Text 4:‎ W: Where is my book, Dad?‎ M: On your bed.
