19、se, East of Eden and Giant. Yet, he will star in a new movie about the Vietnam War thanks to digital technology, which generates (产生) images of James Dean by computer.The idea that one of the movies most beloved former stars would be recreated digitally for a new film has been met with criticism (批评

20、). Captain America actor Chris Evans called the plans to use Deans image in the film disrespectful.However, Mark Roesler, the chairman of CMG said, “Dean has more than 183,000 followers on Instagram, and that he is still important today. He was known as Hollywoods rebel (叛逆) who famously said if a m

21、an can bridge the gap (沟壑) between life and death, if he can live after hes dead, then maybe he is a great man.” Roesler added, “What was considered rebellious in the 50s is very different from what is rebellious today, and we feel confident that he would support this modern day act of rebellion.”An

22、ton Ernst, the films director, said, “I respect Deans life and history. The movie is one of hope and love. There are still a lot of James Deans fans worldwide and there would always be critics.

25、ular Movie On Again27Whats the attitude of James family towards his fourth movie?ASupportive.BDoubtful.CCareful.DUninterested.C Most people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals cant talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior

26、? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes

27、 pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator(猎食动物) gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the “hurt” adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub j

28、ay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos ha

29、ve found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They dont make nests. Instead, they get into other birds nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the lo

30、sing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winners hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as ba

31、nanas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps dont hear them, and they dont need to share their food.As children, many of us learn the saying “You cant fool Mother Nature.” But may

32、be you cant trust her, either.28A plover protects its young from a predator by _.Agetting closer to its youngBdriving away the adult predatorCleaving its young in another nestDpretending to be injured29By “Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky” (paragraph5), the author means _.Achimps are ready

33、 to attack othersBchimps are sometimes dishonestCchimps are jealous of the winnersDchimps can be selfish too30Which of the following is true according to the passage?ASome chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.BThe losing chimp won the fight by taking the winners hand.CCuckoos fool th

35、t. Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them. Those people, say skeptics, spread nothing but bad news about the environment. The “eco-guilt” brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives ri

36、se to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much popularity. That book, The Skeptic Environmentalist, declares that it measures the “real state of the world” as fine. Of course, another explanation

37、 is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborgs views are similar to those of some industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming.So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborgs book g

38、o largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.”Such one-s

39、ided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborgs “preference for unexamined materials is incredible(不可信的)”.A critical (批判的)eye is valuable, and the media sh

40、ould present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests. People might become half-blinded before a world partially exhibited by the media. Thats a

41、shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.32According to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics”?APeople who agree on the popularity of “eco-guilt”.BPeople who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.CPeopl

42、e who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.DPeople who spread comforting news to protect our environment.33Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborgs book?ASome big businesses intend to protect their own interests.BThe book challenges views about the fine state o

43、f the world.CThe author convinces people to speak comforting worldviews.DIndustryfunded media present confusing information.34The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to_.Avoice a different opinionBfind fault with Lomborgs bookCchallenge the authority of the mediaDpoint out the value of sc

44、ientific views35What is the authors main purpose in writing the passage?ATo encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye.BTo warn the public of the danger of halfblindness with reviews.CTo blame the medias lack of responsibility in presenting information.DTo show the importance of presenting overal

45、l information by the media.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。 Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction. When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good.36In this way, it is

46、in fact an addictive drug, one that doctors recommend we all cut down on.“It seems like every time I study an illness and trace a path to the first cause, I find my way back to sugar,” says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million have

47、diabetes. Why? “ 37“ says Johnson.Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored for when there was no food. But today, most people have more than

48、enough. 38So what is the solution? Its obvious that we need to eat less sugar. 39From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it. Some manufacturers even use sugar to replace taste in foods that are advertised as low in fat.But there are those who are fight

49、ing back against sugar. 40Other schools are growing their own food in gardens, or building facilities like walking tracks so students and others in the community can exercise. The battle has not yet been lost.AWe take in more energy and fat.BThen the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more.C

50、Our ancestors were used to poor food, clothing and shelter.DSo the very thing that once saved us, may now be killing us.E.Sugar, we believe, is one of the reasons, if not the major one.F.The trouble is, in todays world, its extremely difficult to avoid.G.Many schools are replacing sugary desserts wi
