　　The slavery drama “12 Years a Slave” won the Academy Award for best picture on Sunday, making history as the first movie from a black director to win the film industry’s highest honor in 86 years of the Oscars. Can anyone tell me your ideas about this movie? —Great Martin

　　“12 Years a Slave is a surprisingly underwhelming movie. It is more of a string of pictures about several heartless and evil white men(and women) who are just mean without the motivation of running a plantation on their minds. There is very little character development and most of the film relies on what the audience already knows and feels about slavery. “ —Gemini Jeff

　　‘‘Never have I been stunned into an emotional silence after watching a film in the theater. I’ve come out of films before thinking, ‘My god, that was unbelievable’, like when I saw The Lord of the Rings for the first time, but this film just hits you on another level entirely. You sit there after it’s over, wondering if what you’ve just experienced is real. The day after, you feel the same. “

　　—Paul Johnson

　　“This movie is just an average movie about slavery. Are you kidding me, segregation movies are a dime a dozen and this movie beat out Gravity for Golden Globes? Gravity has never been done before. 12 Years a Slave I watched once and will never watch again. I watched Gravity 5 times and still love it. ’’ —Emma Smith

　　“This movie was realistic and engaging at every second. Even the dramatic pauses were worthwhile and definitely not a waste of time. The script inferred and hinted at events rather than just plain saying them, and that was genius. Outstanding photography, amazing special effects and the acting is top notch. There were a few people that walked out during some scenes. What a shame!”

　　—April

　　31. The main purpose of Great Martin’s writing is _____.

　　A. to give a brief introduction of the movie

　　B. to share his own opinions with others

　　C. to invite answers to his question

　　D. to explain why he asks the question

　　32. The underlined word “stunned’’ in the third paragraph probably means _____.

　　A. puzzled B. shocked C. disappointed D. concerned

　　33. Among the four speakers, who made positive comments on the movie?

　　A. Gemini Jeff and Paul Johnson B. Paul Johnson and Emma Smith

　　C. Gemini Jeff and Emma Smith D. Paul Johnson and April

　　34. Which of the following best states Paul Johnson’s ideas about l2 Years a Slave?

　　A. It leaves little room for character development.

　　B. It reaches the height of The Lord of the Rings.

　　C. It doesn’t deserve such high praise.

　　D. It amazes the audience with its special effects.

　　One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”, “pitiful”, and “dying”, which sounded ominous.

　　“Though Christmas is coming, don’t expect any presents this year.” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. I’d never seen him cry before.

　　The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say. “ What? He’s all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs, “The hospital said we canould bring Richard home! “

　　“Thank god!” I heard Mum cry.

　　From the window upstairs, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty: they were filled with love!

　　35. What happened to the author on September 11, 1958?

　　A. He got a baby brother. B. He got a Christmas gift.

　　C. He became four years old. D. He received a doll.

　　36.What does the underlined word “ominous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

　　A. Impossible. B. Boring. C. Difficult. D. Fearful.

　　37. Which word can best describe the feeling of the father when Christmas was coming?

　　A. Excitement. B. Happiness. C. Sadness. D. Disappointment.

　　38. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A. A sad Christmas day. B. Life with a lovely baby.

　　C. A special Christmas gift. D. Memories of a happy family.

　　Franz Kafka wrote that “a book must be the ax (斧子) for the frozen sea inside us.” I once shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didn’t seem to require any explanation.

　　We’d just finished John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men. When we read the end together out loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I. “Are you crying?” one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. “I am,” I told her, “and the funny thing is that I’ve read it many times.”

　　But they understood. When George shoots Lennie, the tragedy is that we realize it is always going to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York city public middle school, I’ve taught kids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irresponsible parents; kids who are parents themselves; kids who are homeless; kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods. They understand, more than I ever will, the novel’s terrible logic— the giving way of dreams to fate (命运).

　　For the last seven years, I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher, reading classic works of literature with small groups of students from grades six to eight. I originally proposed this idea to my headmaster after learning that a former excellent student of mine had transferred out of a selective high school— one that often attracts the literary-minded children of Manhattan’s upper classes— into a less competitive setting. The daughter of immigrants, with a father in prison, she perhaps felt uncomfortable with her new classmates. I thought additional “cultural capital” could help students like her develop better in high school, where they would unavoidably meet, perhaps for the first time, students who came from homes lined with bookshelves, whose parents had earned Ph. D.’s.

　　Along with Of Mice and Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. The students didn’t always read from the expected point of view. About The Red Pony, one student said, “It’s about being a man; it’s about manliness.” I had never before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady Macbeth’s soliloquies (独白) read as raps (说唱), but both made sense; the interpretations were playful, but serious. Once introduced to Steinbeck’s writing, one boy went on to read The Grapes of Wrath and told me repeatedly how amazing it was that “all these people hate each other, and they’re all white.” His historical view was broadening, his sense of his own country deepening. Year after year, former students visited and told me how prepared they had felt in their first year in college as a result of the classes.

　　Year after year, however, we are increasing the number of practice tests. We are trying to teach students to read increasingly complex texts, not for emotional punch (碰撞) but for text complexity. Yet, we cannot enrich (充实) the minds of our students by testing them on texts that ignore their hearts. We are teaching them that words do not amaze but confuse. We may succeed in raising test scores, but we will fail to teach them that reading can be transformative and that it belongs to them.

　　39. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 probably mean that a book helps to _____.

　　A. realize our dreams B. give support to our life

　　C. smooth away difficulties D. awake our emotions

　　40. Why were the students able to understand the novel Of Mice and Men?

　　A. Because they spent much time reading it.

　　B. Because they had read the novel before.

　　C. Because they came from a public school.

　　D. Because they had similar life experiences.

　　41. The girl left the selective high school possibly because_____.

　　A. she was a literary-minded girl B. her parents were immigrants

　　C. she couldn’t fit in with her class D. her father was then in prison

　　42. To the author’s surprise, the students read the novels_____.

　　A. creatively B. passively C. repeatedly D. carelessly

　　Holidays are really important. Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.

　　But holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.

　　For working parents, the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks, there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some, this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.

　　The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children, welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays, much of this is missed.

　　While teachers are holidaying in the UK, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.

　　In setting out its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council (委员会)is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. We believe this will give real “down time” for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.

　　We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.

　　43. The underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refers to “____”.

　　A. environments B. holidays C. wages D. benefits

　　44. It is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to _____.

　　A. 2 weeks B. 4.5 weeks C. 5 weeks D. 6 weeks

　　45. The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students _____.

　　A. obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costs

　　B. get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in school

　　C. benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environment

　　D. have more school days to improve their study

　　46. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.

　　A. working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their children

　　B. the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried out

　　C. the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real “down time”

　　D. some school staff will say “No” to the plans for a shorter summer holiday

　　Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it’s because we have mirror neurons (神经元)in our brains.

　　Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate(模仿) it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.

　　Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).

　　Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.

　　Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact(互动). Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent(相等物) for neuroscience of what Einstein’s theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does—well, perhaps you’ll understand why.

　　47. Mirror neurons can explain _____.

　　A. why we cry when we are hurt

　　B. why we cough when we suffer from a cold

　　C. why we smile when we see someone else smile

　　D. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late

　　48. The underlined word “triggered” in the third paragraph probably means “____”.

　　A. set off B. cut off C. built up D. broken up

　　49. We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _____.

　　A. relate to human behavior and interaction

　　B. control human physical actions and feelings

　　C. result in bad behavior and social disorders

　　D. determine our knowledge and language abilities

　　50. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A. Ways to find mirror neurons. B. Problems of mirror neurons.

　　C. Existence of mirror neurons. D. Functions of mirror neurons.

　　One of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文) showing how it was used.

　　This was a huge task. So Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American Surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire”, 50 miles from Oxford.

　　Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors.

　　But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum(精神病院) for the criminally insane.

　　Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.

　　In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.

　　Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.

　　56. How did Dr. Minor contribute to the dictionary? (with 7 words)
