24、. Take pictures One of the great things about taking pictures at an event or party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with the person later.

25、e seed that leads to new connections. The next time you hear about a fun event email your new contacts to let them know about it.2. Eat alone in public You might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit: you are much easier to approach when you are alone. People may be

26、afraid of interrupting you or being rude if you are in a conversation with someone else. Bring a book or newspaper to read (this will make you feel less self-conscious). Plus, having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if theyve read it.3. Join a class, sp

27、orts team, or club Yoga, salsa dancing, volleyball, Toastmasters (a public speaking club), a class for work, etc. Take up a new hobby or continue an old one! These are all great places to meet new people, primarily because you will be forced to see the same people over and over again in the class. Y

28、ou will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are forced to see each other again. Tips:* In the beginning, never turn down an invitation from someone, even if its something you wouldnt normally do.* Email your new friends with fun things to do instead of always askin

29、g what their plans are. If they have a better plan you can drop yours and join them. This will help establish you as someone who is contributing value instead of just taking it (people want this in a friend).* Dont let little things in life upset you or be a negative person. People dont want to be a

34、nge when you move to a new cityB. how you can make new friends in a new cityC. why you should make new friends in a new city D. how you can keep in touch with strangersBA group of people introduced themselves to me and my German classmate Julia. They were from a production company, currently in the

35、process of filming a movie based in Duan, a rural area a few hours north of Nanning. They tried to explain the plot of the film, but neither mine nor Julias Chinese was good enough to fully understand what they were saying. They then asked if we would be interested in being part of the project. I ca

36、me to China to experience new things and new opportunities, and being in a movie sounded so exciting. So in less than a second, I jumped at the chance of being in the film. Julia on the other hand was not so enthusiastic. It took 30 minutes to convince her to be part of the film, and she eventually

37、accepted the chance. That afternoon we were taken to the production companys office to meet the director and some of the cast. We all sat together, drinking tea, talking about why Julia and I were in China and about the film. It seemed a little bit like a dream. Ever since I was a small child, I dre

38、amed of becoming a movie star, but I would never have guessed that my dream would come true, especially now in China. At the end of the talk, we were given scripts(剧本)and had a few photographs taken. We were given the production schedule and ensured that our scenes would only be shot at weekends so

39、it wouldnt interfere with our studies. We left the office and were excited about the film, unknowing what filming was actually like. On our first day of filming, we were picked up in the early morning from the university and we drove deep into the countryside. We arrived at the location and waited f

40、or our scene to be shot. We watched as the other actors and crew went about their work, busy shooting and reshooting the same scene from different angles and perspectives. I never knew how much effort and care went into filming even the shortest and simplest scene. It was then our turn to shoot, and

41、 I was very nervous and very excited. 56. From the first paragraph we know that_. A. the writer was also a German B. Duan is the name of a filmC. neither the writers Chinese nor her classmates was very goodD. the group of people wanted the writer to be the director of the film57. From the passage we

42、 can learn that the writer_. A. was interested in new thingsB. was interested in exciting filmsC. jumped high in the filmD. wasnt as enthusiastic as Julia about the film58. Which of the following is TRUE about the filming?A. Before being part of the film, the writer had to make friends with the dire

43、ctor. B. An actor or actress must recite all the scripts. C. Before being part of the film, one must know what filming is actually like. D. Sometimes the same scene can be shot or reshot many times. 59. What might happen in the following paragraph?A. The writer was praised in her university. B. The

44、writer became very famous as a new actress. C. How the writer performed in the film. D. How the writer got on with other actors. 60. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?A. A foreign girls adventureB. A foreign girls experience as an “actress”C. A foreign girls college life in

45、ChinaD. A foreign girls trip to the countrysideCIt is one of the oldest magic tricks in the booka magician locks a woman in a box, with her head and feet sticking out from either end, and saws (锯) it in half. But when she finally jumps out of the box, the woman is unharmed.This trick was introduced

46、nearly a century ago. It has been around for some time, but it never goes wrong. Why is it so successful? The answer is simple: the human mind is easily fooled.Our brain processes the world around us based on information that sensory organs, including the eyes, pick up. For instance, when we see a c

47、ow or a horse standing behind a tree, we automatically “fill in” the part of the animals body that is hidden from our sight. “So the brain is taking this kind of very sparse (匮乏的) information about the world and its generating this rich world by filling in information,” Stephen Macknik, a scientist

48、at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Arizona, US, told Science magazine.But since our brains are filling in the gaps, sometimes they get it wrong. They tend to be driven by our previous experiences and we expect things to go as they have in the past even if sometimes they do not.This tendency exp

49、lains magicians success in fooling people with well-known coin tricks. For example, when you see a magician throw a coin up and down in one hand and then fake a coin thrown to the other hand, you would naturally believe that the coin is in the other hand.Apart from the information gaps, magicians al

50、so use the “blind spots” theory when doing their shows.The most well-known experiment demonstrating this theory is called the “invisible gorilla (大猩猩)”, in which volunteers watch a video of two basketball teams. They are asked to count how many times the teams wearing white shirts pass the ball. In

51、the meantime, a person dressed as a gorilla walks onto the court. But shockingly, half of the viewers dont notice the gorilla, even when they appear to be looking directly at it.Magicians employ this tactic (招数), what they call “misdirection”, in almost every one of their acts. They direct our atten

52、tion somewhere else using comedy and music, which can make us miss stuff during the performance.61. The magic trick is mentioned in the first paragraph to _.A. introduce the steps of the magic trickB. prove magic tricks seldom go wrongC. reveal how magic tricks are designedD. get us to wonder how ma

53、gicians trick the mind62. We can conclude from the passage that the human mind is easily fooled because our brain _.A. may have difficulty remembering what we just sawB. fills in information about the magic worldC. is influenced by our previous experiencesD. processes far more information than our s

54、ensory organs pick up63. What does the underlined word “invisible” in paragraph 7 refer to?A. Unnoticed.B. Unimportant. C. Unpleasant. D. Unprepared.64. During the “invisible gorilla” experiment, people watching the video ignore the “gorilla” because _.A. they dont look directly at it B. they are no

55、t interested in itC. they are too focused on counting D. they consider it to be a distraction65. Why do magicians usually use comedy and music when they play magic tricks?A. To get viewers to stay focused on the show.B. To make the show more fun and exciting.C. To draw viewers attention away from a

56、secret action.D. To create information gaps between magicians and viewers.DIf I could give todays young people three wishes, they would be: More hugs. More time outside in nature. More belief in their own power to change the world. While most people understand the importance of the first two wishes,

57、 the third one leaves some folks wondering why young peoples belief in their own power is so essential.Lets start with the idea that all of us-especially young people-need heroes. We need them to be our guides on the difficult trail(足迹)we call life and to show us just how far we can go. And we need

58、heroes today more than ever. Our modern society is terribly confused about the difference between a celebrity and a hero. And the difference: is vital. A celebrity is all about fame(名望)-temporary, superficial fame, usually for qualities that are easy to see: a pretty face, a great dance move. A hero

59、, by contrast, is about character-qualities under the surface that arent visible until they take action.Heroes are all around us. They truly hold our world together, through their unselfish devotion to helping others, teaching children, and protecting the environment. They dont want fame, or glory;

60、they just want to help. In so many ways, these unsung heroes pilot the boat in which all of us sail.Yet, young people hear a lot more about celebrities than about heroes in the media. The hidden message they get from all this is that their self-worth comes from what they buy-which shoes, which cell

61、phone-not who they are down inside. What gets lost in this? Young peoples sense of their own potential for heroic qualities-their own power to make a positive difference in the world. Truth is, there is a potential hero, a future difference maker, in every young person. Each of them, from whatever b

62、ackground, is a positive force who can do something. All it takes for that to be true is belief.How do we help young people believe in their own power? The best way is simply to share examples, of other young people who have made a difference.Ryan, age 11, has worked tirelessly to raise money to pro

63、vide clean drinking water to African villages. When he first heard about the plight(困苦)of African children who died from impure water, Ryan was only six years old. In the next five years, he raised over $500,000-enough to build over 70 water wells.Barbara, age 17, grew up on a farm in Texas. When sh

64、e realized that local farmers were pouring their used motor oil into rivers, causing pollution, she organized the creation of a recycling center for crude(未加提炼的)oil. Her project has grown to include18 recycling centers in Texas.The list could continue. These are but a few examples of young people wh

65、o have discovered that they can build on their own energy to do something great.66. What is the authors purpose in writing Paragraph 2?A. To give examples of celebrities and heroes around us.B. To discuss the differences between celebrities and heroes.C. To provide definitions of the words “celebrit

66、y” and “hero”.D. To explain the details about being celebrities and heroes.67. What could be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. Heroes make the world go round.B. Heroes must believe in themselves.C. Heroes focus on social welfare programs.D. Heroes promote cooperation between people.68. What can we learn

67、from Paragraph 4?A. Heroes and celebrities are both valued today.B. Society doesnt support the development of heroes.C. The media turn ordinary celebrities into real heroes.D. Young people dont have the belief in their own strength.69. How does the author advance his view that young people have the

68、potential to be a hero?A. By defining the qualities that make a young person a hero.B. By contrasting the achievements made by different young people.C. By giving examples of young people who show the qualities of a hero.D. By providing examples of qualities that have made young people famous.70. Wh

69、at is the main idea of the passage?A. More heroes are needed in the world.B. Celebrities are reported too much in the media.C. Adults should become role models for young people.D. Young people should believe in their ability to make a difference.第卷( 共35分) 请同学们将试题答案填写在答题纸上第四部分：写作 (共两节, 满分35分)第一节：阅读表达
