26、 with their amazing plasticine(粘土) characters Wallace and Gromit. It won an Oscar in 2006, and if you watch it, youll understand why. Its an absolutely brilliant cartoon comedy.Cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his brainy dog Gromit have started a company to protect the towns vegetables from hungry

27、 rabbits. However, just before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition, an enormous rabbit begins terrorising the town. It is attacking all the vegetables and destroying everything in its path. The competition organizer, Lady Tottington, hires Wallace and Gromit to catch the monster alive. But they w

28、ill have to find the were-rabbit before gun-crazy hunter Victor Quartermaine who is desperate to kill it.The screenplay is witty and full of amusing visual jokes. As usual, the voice of Peter Sallis is absolutely perfect for the role of Wallace, and Gromit is so beautifully brought to life, he can e

29、xpress a huge range of emotions without saying a word. And both Helena Bonham-Carter, who plays the part of Lady Tottington, and Ralph Fiennes as Victor are really funny.To sum up, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an amazing film which is suitable for both children and adults. If you liked Wallace an

30、d Gromits previous adventures and you appreciate the British sense of humour, youll love this film. Dont miss it!56According to the film review, “monster” （paragraph B） refers to _.Aa gun-crazy hunterBa scary rabbitCa brainy dog Da giant vegetable57Which of the following is a reason why the writer r

31、ecommends the film?AIts full of wit and humour.BIts characters show feelings without words.CIt is an adventure film directed by Peter Sallis.DIt is about the harmony between man and animals.BNEW YORK Picking a Christmas tree takes most people a few minutes, or a couple of hours if they head for the

32、woods. Dave Murbach needs 11 months. Almost every day of every year, Murbachs thoughts turn to vision of a perfectly shaped evergreen tree that will take everyones breath away. Murbach is the man responsible for finding the towering tree that makes more attractive Manhattans Rockefeller Center each

33、Christmas season. “Im always looking for a tree,” the centers chief gardener says. “I look for it even when I go to the beach in the summer. Its like a homework assignment hanging over your head.” And if he gets it wrong, theres nothing hiding it. “Every day its up, 400,000 people go by, and 2.5 mil

34、lion people watch the lighting celebration on television,”he says. This years tree, a 74-foot Nomy spruce (云杉) from Richfield, Ohio, flown to New York on the worlds largest cargo plane, was lighted on December 2. The arrival of the tree leads in the Christmas season in New York a tradition dating ba

35、ck to 1931, when the workers building Rockefeller Center put up a small tree with ornaments. The search for the next years tree starts soon after the old tree is chopped up for wood chips and horse-jumping logs. Murbach has three standards: The tree must be at least 65 feet high, at least 35 feet ac

36、ross and leaves dense enough not to see through. Thats not as simple as it sounds. Though forests are full of evergreens, few get enough sunlight or space to fill out. And branches in snow regions often break under the weight, making trees unbalanced. Back at the office, he sorts through hundreds of

37、 letters from people offering their trees, many addressed simply to “Mr. Christmas Tree Man.”Though there was occasional anxiety attack and sleepless night, Murbach knows the effect the tree has on people: “Its for bringing people together, attempting to bring together people you love. Thats what I

38、hope it sets off.” But Murbach says hes always too worn out to celebrate Christmas.58. Which is the correct order of the events in the passage? a. Murbachs thoughts turn to a perfectly shaped tree. b. 2.5 million people watch the Christmas tree. c. The tree is flown to New York. d. It was lighted on

39、 December 2. e. The tree is chopped up. f. Murbach searches for the tree. A. a, b, c, d, e, f B. c, d, b, f, e, a C. c, d, e, b, a, f D. a, f, c, d, b, e59. Why does Murbach take his job seriously?A. Because he wants everyone to be happy with his choice. B. Because he hopes to make everybody unable

40、to breathe.C. Because he enjoys showing off. D. Because he wishes to attract peoples attention to himself.60. According to Murbach s standard of trees, the best tree must _. A. be evergreen B. have lots of space between their branchesC. be tall enough not to see through D. be equally balancedCIn eve

41、ry society it is necessary to have a general system of laws to ensure justice. Laws are designed to make certain that peoples rights are protected and that people respect each others rights. Sometimes, however, laws are passed which are specific(明确的) to a time or situation. For example, a town in In

42、diana once passed a law making it illegal(非法的) to shoot open a can(罐头) of food. Apparently, some gun - carrying citizens(公民) forgot their can openers and naturally enough, used their guns to do the job. This disturbed other citizens, and endangered their lives, so a law was passed to prevent it. Spe

43、cific laws sometimes remain in existence long after the problem has disappeared. The laws then seem strange. For example, the Indiana law was no longer necessary when citizens stopped carrying guns and using them as can openers. Since the law was no longer needed, what once made sense now seems like

44、 nonsense. Sometimes laws designed to serve a good purpose were passed but somehow these became mixed up in their wording. As a result, the laws dont make sense. In one state there is a law which says that it is illegal to move or to attempt to move a motor vehicle. Obviously, a massive traffic jam

45、would occur if everyone suddenly obeyed that law. But no one does, of course, because the intention of the law was not to prevent owners from moving their own cars. It was to prevent people from moving (stealing) other peoples cars. It is often harder to repeal (废止) a law than to pass one, so many o

46、f these old laws remain in existence. Because they no longer fit the way people live or because the problem no longer exists, these laws are ignored. Everyone understands that and life goes on. Thus, laws that once made very good senses now seem like nonsense. 61. According to the passage, laws are

47、designed for the purpose of _. A. protecting peoples rights B. making people respect each otherC. preventing gun-carrying D. punishing criminals62. The author used the Indiana law as an example to explain _. A. how some laws are passed and changed B. how people in Indiana open cansC. why some laws m

48、ay seem strange D. why people in Indiana no longer use their guns63. Whats the problem with the law concerning motor vehicles?A. It leads to traffic jams. B. It is not clearly written. C. It is not designed to serve a good purpose. D. It has been out of date. 64. We can conclude from the passage tha

49、t _. A. a law system is necessary for every societyB. some laws that dont make sense may also get passedC. it is more difficult to change the old law than pass a new one D. some laws may seem strange as time passesDI stared down at the $14.86 left in my hand after paying the weekly rent for the smal

50、l house wed found. We had only a small amount of food in our kitchen. I wondered how I could have gotten my eight-year-old daughter and me to the point where we were so close to homelessness. I made one or two wrong assumptions about being able to find new employment. It seemed that I was on a ladde

51、r sliding downward, with no end in sight.Staying here were single moms trying to escape from bad marriages, alcoholics and people who just seemed to have a hard time fitting in. I fell normal, so what was I doing here? More importantly, was there something these people could teach me about surviving

52、 until I could climb out of my difficult situation? I swallowed my pride and began to knock on doors. Whether they were single parents or travelers, I was told how to donate blood to earn a bit of money and how one family worked at a local temp(临时雇员) agency that paid daily. Doing everything they rec

53、ommended allowed me to keep going.The whole time I continued to go to interview after interview in search of a regular job. I landed a job as a receptionist. I saw all the business partners as they came and went. Whenever I had an opportunity to make any kind of a positive impression, whether offeri

54、ng to return calls, making reservations, recommending a solution to a callers problem or anything else, I did so. The effort paid off. My temp-to-perm job was lengthened for another two-week period. I was moved from the reception desk to the second assistant for one of the partners. This gave me the

55、 opportunity to see even more of what went on in the firm. I offered the executive assistant help in completing her work so that we could both go home at a more reasonable time.Even though I knew it was rare for this firm to move anyone from a temporary position to a permanent one, I decided Id do m

56、y job as if it were already mine. I organized the file. I set up a follow-up calendar(日程表). I made sure whatever was needed for meeting was there beforehand. I figured that if I could keep working there for over four months, I might have a chance.I had been working there for eight weeks when the exe

57、cutive assistant became ill and was in hospital. Since she was expected back shortly, I offered to step in and do her tasks as well as my own task. Sadly, the executive assistant never did fully recover from her sickness. After working for six of the hardest months of my life, I was permanently offe

58、red her position. It provided benefits, stability and eventually the opportunity to move into a better and closer apartment. I worked for that firm for almost five years. I eventually took over the operation of a department and was promoted to the position of manager. Who could have imagined that?My

59、 time as a nearly homeless person had given me new compassion(同情) for people in trouble. Instead of simply evicting(驱逐) everyone who couldnt pay, my apartment developed an awarding-winning program which allowed them to work off their rents by providing needed services, such as cleaning, gardening or

60、 painting, somewhere in our apartment buildings.I went on to have other corporate jobs, and I now live in my house. Whenever I see a person who needs help today, I wonder what his story is. And I try to offer him at least a warm cup of coffee or something to eat. Who knows, some day it might be me a

61、gain. Id like to think that someone would help me if they could. 65. According to Paragraph 1, what happened to the author?A. She was out of work.B. She didnt have any food to eat.C. She hurt herself falling off a ladder.D. She couldnt afford to pay the rent.66. The author knocked on other peoples d

62、oors in order to _.A. borrow some moneyB. seek some adviceC ask for some basic necessities of lifeD. complain about the difficulties she was going through67. The author was promoted to second assistant _A. because of her well designed calendarB. because of her skill in dealing with peopleC. because

64、D. the authors daughter was suffering from an illness.69. If people cannot pay the rent in the authors apartment buildings, they _A. will be forced to move out.B. will have to pay a heavy fine.C. can do some work instead D. can get an allowance70.
