The Lord of the Rings

From the rolling hills of Matamata to the volcanic region of Mt Ruapehu, this is the best movie to see New Zealand. Also, this travel movie might have the only distinction of being inspired by travel. The director of the movie Peter Jackson first read the novel on a train going from Wellington to Auckland when he was just seventeen.
Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventure Collection
Indiana Jones and travel are inseparable. Everyone remembers the red line on the world map that shows up on screen when he flies. The Egypt scenes in Raiders of the Lost Ark were filmed in Tunisia. Temple of Doom was filmed mostly in Sri Lanka and Macau. The Last Crusade was filmed in Italy, Spain and Jordan including and excellent view of Petra. Unlike the other films, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was filmed almost entirely in the United States. However, their shots of Iguazu Falls are amazing.

This movie series focuses on a romantic writer Joan and her adventures with a soldier of fortune named Jack. In Romancing the Stone Joan goes to Colombia to save her sister who is kidnapped. In the sequel(续集)Joan goes to the fictional kingdom of Kadir in the Middle East. Romancing the Stone's scenes were shot mostly in Mexico. For Jewel of the Nile, the scenes were mostly shot in France and Morocco.

I was always blamed for watching too much cartoons. As I have said goodbye to my teenage, I shift to watching more movies to prove that I was a grown up. Surprisingly, I found that movies have something in common with cartoons. They are unrealistic.
Sometimes movies give people hope, including the hope of justice, the hope of tomorrow and almost everything else. A great number of people were once touched by certain movies. From time to time, movies try to deliver some decisive ideas to the audience. In this way, movies do cheer up many people to go on with their lives.
It seems that there is a set formula in movies. We usually see the hero or heroine in the movies suffer a lot in the opening. Gradually and likely, the destination of them always comes to a turning point. So they have to struggle or make some important choices. Then the movie ends up with a happy finale. Or at least the hero finally manages to face his poor life with great courage somehow. However, when audience watch movies in the cinema, most of them just follow the story. Few of them may ask, “Will it happen in the real life？”
Movies are also imitating the real life. Thus a movie, just like a novel, can never be the same as the real life. The setting of a movie is so ideal that we could hardly find it out in reality. The moviemakers just try their best to persuade the audience to believe the story is true. In a word, it is all just make believe.
For quite a long time, I think that the adults' world is realistic in the opposite way of the children's cartoon. However, the movies from the adult world turn out to be a made up thing. At the very moment, I suddenly realize that movies are somewhat of the adult's fairy tales or cartoons.
To sum up, other than false comfort such as movies and tales, we are more in need of the maturity of mind, so that we can face our lives bravely and correctly.
4．With time going on, the author shifts to watching more movies because he thinks that ________.
A．they give him hope of justice and tomorrow in life
B．they are for adult and that he is now an adult
C．they help him forget the real world
D．they are similar to cartoons he used to watch
5．Which of the following is true about the type of movies the author mentions
A．The hero or heroine simply has met no difficulty at all.
B．The hero or heroine is able to deal successfully with any problems.
C．Sometimes there are cartoon characters in the movies.
D．The audience know they are simply foolish stories.
6．The underlined word “make believe” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A．something imagined to be real
B．something too ideal to believe
C．a happy ending all the audience desire
D．a belief that is based on facts
7．According to the author, which of the following is the side effect of the movies
A．People may be confused by them.
B．Movies can usually improve real life.
C．Film fans just follow the movie stories.
D．False comfort may mislead the audience.

For the first time since my open heart operation, I have the energy to take my harp(竖琴) to the hospital rooms and play for anyone who likes it.
I checked in with two nurses and they gave me a list of rooms. The first man I played for was a patient who found it difficult to sleep. He smiled and with his eyes closed, he reached out to my harp. He was not interested in my voice, but he appreciated the harp. In the next room was a woman patient. I played some soft music for her and then she slept soundly.
Then I found a lovely elderly woman who was awake. There were flowers everywhere and photos of her and her husband at her bedside. She held my hand and talked for some time and was pleased to receive harp music. Playing for her was a special pleasure. She asked me how long I had been playing the harp, how much the harp weighed, how I learned it and why I wanted to learn it and so on.
We talked about books for a bit as well. I played until her grandson came in and he came back from overseas to see her. This woman was deeply loved—you could see that. She was beautiful and kind. I learn so much from these beautiful people who are brave to face their illnesses. It is always such a great honor to play for them.

How do young children learn to have good values How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness and patience At a time more and more parents worry about the violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV and on the Internet. So many parents are turning to fairy tales. They want to teach their children how to behave in society by this way.
It is believed that fairy tales have a great influence on children because they describe the two sides of good and evil (邪恶) very clearly. When children hear the tales, they learn to care about others' feelings. In each tale, they can see that there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of person we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones, in our lives.
What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales In The Princess and the Pea, a poorly dressed girl says she is a princess. Few people believe her, so she is given a difficult test. When she passes the test, we learn that her dream comes true because she stays true to herself. In The Little Mermaid (《小美人鱼》), the mermaid, who lives under the sea, wishes to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures.
Teaching values is probably the main reason for encouraging children to read fairy tales. These tales can teach children lessons about human relationships that have been accepted around the world for many centuries. This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and will not disappear any time soon.
12．Why do fairy tales have a great influence on children
A．Because fairy tales can teach them how to make a choice.
B．Because fairy tales can help them get higher scores at school.
C．Because they can learn how to avoid most difficulties in their lives.
D．Because good and evil are shown in a way they can easily understand.
13．The Little Mermaid may be helpful when children ________.
A．are given a difficult test
B．make friends with foreigners
C．wish to be a princess or prince
D．are going to lie to their parents
14．The author writes the text mainly to ________.
A．introduce some fairy tales
B．talk about the history of fairy tales
C．discuss how to improve human relationships
D．show how fairy tales help children shape values

Rich and Famous
Twenty years ago the most common ambition of American children was to be a teacher, followed by working in banking and finance, and then medicine. But today's situation is quite different. __1__ Instead they most commonly say they want to be a sports star, a pop star, or an actor—in other words，they hope to become a celebrity.
According to experts, young people desire these jobs largely because of the wealth and the fame. __2__ Let's take athletes and singers as an example. Their careers are short lived.

While many people argue that there is nothing wrong with having such ambitions, others feel that this trend will finally lead to dissatisfaction as more and more people are unable to reach their goals. __5__ That means they ignore the simple fact that great effort is needed before success. As a result, many people won't realize their childhood dreams, which could have a negative effect on their happiness.
A．The younger generation don't favor these professions any more.
B．In many ways this has been brought about by the celebrity culture.
C．Unfortunately, they do not always have a positive effect on people's life.
D．Besides, it can be difficult for them to adapt back to a normal everyday life.
E．People no longer have a sense of satisfaction once their goals have been achieved.
F．This quick way of gaining wealth and fame creates a celebrity culture among people.

第二节 读后续写 （此题供全国新高考地区使用）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
My parents and I had been planning my brother's birthday party since the beginning of March. Johnny would be six years old in two days. My mom was going to bake her special chocolate cake with white icing. As I watched her, I thought, Gee, I wonder what I can do to make my brother's birthday special.
I knew my parents had already bought a present for me to give to Johnny, but I wanted to buy him something I had chosen myself and with the money I had saved. After giving it some thought, I wanted to buy him the paint by number kit (数字涂色小套装) I had seen at the store around the corner.
I decided to empty my coin jar and see how much money I had saved. However, I was disappointed to find there was much less than I had imagined. “Oh, no, I only have about three dollars, ” I muttered to myself. The set cost more than I have saved.
Suddenly a “great” idea occurred to me. I slid into my parents' bedroom where my dad kept loose change on top of the dresser. I stood on my tiptoes and saw some dime, nickels, and a few quarters. I carefully counted out what I needed to make up the difference. I'm sure Dad won't mind just this once, I thought.
However，I was soon overcome by guilt. Even though there was no one else in the bedroom, I felt like I was being watched. Mom was always telling us about the importance of honesty. Maybe my plan wasn't such a great idea after all, I thought. I jingled the change around in my pocket while wondering what to do.
I grabbed my jacket from the closet and headed toward the door. “Where are you going, honey？” Mom asked, “Oh, just up to the corner store，” I replied. “Well, don't stay out too long. Daddy will be home soon.” “Okay, Mom.” I ran out of our house.
Once I got to the store, I took the paint by number kit from the shelf.
“Can I help you，young lady？” the salesclerk asked.
“No. I'm just looking，thank you，” I said.
“That's a really nice paint kit. We sell a lot of them and, as you can see, that's the last one.” she said.
Paragraph 1：
I nodded my head in agreement, with my mind racing.
Paragraph 2：
I would just have to wait until I saved the extra money I needed.

D．show how fairy tales help children shape values
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了童话故事对孩子们有重要的影响，它们可以帮助塑造孩子的价值观。
12.答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It is believed that fairy tales have a great influence on children because they describe the two sides of good and evil (邪恶) very clearly.”可知，童话故事对孩子有很大的影响是因为它们清楚地描述了善和恶，也就是说童话故事能够以一种容易理解的方式体现善和恶，故D项正确。
13.答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures.”可知，通过美人鱼的经历，我们能够了解到与其他文化共存和接受其他文化的重要性，由此可知，《小美人鱼》会在孩子们与外国人交朋友方面有所帮助，故B项正确。
14.答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。文章开篇就提到了如何让孩子们拥有良好的价值观，紧接着说孩子们通过读童话故事学习价值观，再结合最后一段中的“Teaching values is probably the main reason for encouraging children to read fairy tales. These tales can teach children lessons about human relationships”可知，教给孩子们价值观可能是鼓励孩子们读童话故事的主要原因，由此可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是展示童话故事是如何帮助孩子们塑造价值观的，故D项正确。

阅读下面短文， 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Rich and Famous
Twenty years ago the most common ambition of American children was to be a teacher, followed by working in banking and finance, and then medicine. But today's situation is quite different. __1__ Instead they most commonly say they want to be a sports star, a pop star, or an actor—in other words，they hope to become a celebrity.
According to experts, young people desire these jobs largely because of the wealth and the fame. __2__ Let's take athletes and singers as an example. Their careers are short lived. Many athletes' best time only lasts a few years and singers can have a very limited career. The field that was once the focus of their lives becomes something they have little or no involvement in. As a result, they'll have a feeling of worthlessness and a lack of control. __3__ The truth is quite simple: they have been so far removed from it for so long.
In spite of these disadvantages, there is greater ambition than ever among young people to achieve that status. They are not satisfied just making a living—they want to be rich and famous. Globally, more and more TV shows provide talent competitions where winners can achieve their goals in just a few weeks or months. __4__ They unrealistically believe that this lifestyle is easily obtained and leads to great satisfaction.
While many people argue that there is nothing wrong with having such ambitions, others feel that this trend will finally lead to dissatisfaction as more and more people are unable to reach their goals. __5__ That means they ignore the simple fact that great effort is needed before success. As a result, many people won't realize their childhood dreams, which could have a negative effect on their happiness.
A．The younger generation don't favor these professions any more.
B．In many ways this has been brought about by the celebrity culture.
C．Unfortunately, they do not always have a positive effect on people's life.
D．Besides, it can be difficult for them to adapt back to a normal everyday life.
E．People no longer have a sense of satisfaction once their goals have been achieved.
F．This quick way of gaining wealth and fame creates a celebrity culture among people.
G．The reason is that they don't realize it takes talent and hard work to be rich and famous.

这是一篇议论文。作者阐述了不同的人对舞蹈的不同见解。
1．dragged
解析：考查一般过去时。句意：当我14岁的时候，我最好的朋友带我去了一个课外舞蹈班，我非常喜欢这个班，从那以后我就一直跳舞。分析句子可知，本句为when引导的时间状语从句。由从句用一般过去时，可以判断出主句时态为一般过去时，所以谓语动词为dragged。故填dragged。
2．which
解析：考查关系代词。句意：当我14岁的时候，我最好的朋友带我去了一个课外舞蹈班，我非常喜欢这个班，从那以后我就一直跳舞。分析句子可知， dance class为先行词，在后面的非限制性定语从句中作enjoy的宾语。所以关系代词为which。故填which。
3．going
解析：考查动词 ing形式作宾语的用法。句意：这感觉就像去健身房锻炼一样，但是跳舞并不被广泛认为是一项运动。as...as...在此表示“和……一样……”，第二个as是介词，设空处在此作as的宾语，故填going。
4．widely
解析：考查副词。句意：这感觉就像去健身房锻炼一样，但是跳舞并不被广泛认为是一项运动。设空处作状语修饰谓语，表示“广泛地”。故填widely。
5．your
解析：考查代词。句意：无论你参加哪种类型的舞蹈，你都会在跳舞的时候用到你所有的肌肉，一天通常会持续几个小时。设空处修饰muscles, 表示“你的”，故填形容词词性物主代词your。故填your。
6．the
解析：考查固定短语。句意：另一方面，许多人认为舞蹈是一种艺术形式。on the other hand 意为“另一方面”，为固定短语。故填the。
7．stories
解析：考查名词复数。句意：舞蹈通常会表达情感，讲故事等。story是可数词，其词前无任何修饰成分，所以用story的复数stories。故填stories。
8．professional
解析：考查形容词。句意：随着音乐跳舞很有创意，对眼睛和耳朵有直观的吸引力，就像在看戏剧或专业乐队表演一样。设空处作定语修饰band，意为“专业的”。故填professional。
9．or
解析：考查连词。句意：然而，无论你认为舞蹈是一门艺术还是一项运动，重要的是你得喜欢它！whether...or... 意为“不管……还是……”，引导让步状语从句。故填or。
10．to_make
解析：考查形容词作定语的用法。句意：跳舞是结交新朋友和锻炼身体的好方法。way后常跟不定式作定语，表示“……的方式”。故填to make。

第二节 读后续写 （此题供全国新高考地区使用）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
My parents and I had been planning my brother's birthday party since the beginning of March. Johnny would be six years old in two days. My mom was going to bake her special chocolate cake with white icing. As I watched her, I thought, Gee, I wonder what I can do to make my brother's birthday special.
I knew my parents had already bought a present for me to give to Johnny, but I wanted to buy him something I had chosen myself and with the money I had saved. After giving it some thought, I wanted to buy him the paint by number kit (数字涂色小套装) I had seen at the store around the corner.
I decided to empty my coin jar and see how much money I had saved. However, I was disappointed to find there was much less than I had imagined. “Oh, no, I only have about three dollars, ” I muttered to myself. The set cost more than I have saved.
Suddenly a “great” idea occurred to me. I slid into my parents' bedroom where my dad kept loose change on top of the dresser. I stood on my tiptoes and saw some dime, nickels, and a few quarters. I carefully counted out what I needed to make up the difference. I'm sure Dad won't mind just this once, I thought.
However，I was soon overcome by guilt. Even though there was no one else in the bedroom, I felt like I was being watched. Mom was always telling us about the importance of honesty. Maybe my plan wasn't such a great idea after all, I thought. I jingled the change around in my pocket while wondering what to do.
I grabbed my jacket from the closet and headed toward the door. “Where are you going, honey？” Mom asked, “Oh, just up to the corner store，” I replied. “Well, don't stay out too long. Daddy will be home soon.” “Okay, Mom.” I ran out of our house.
Once I got to the store, I took the paint by number kit from the shelf.
“Can I help you，young lady？” the salesclerk asked.
“No. I'm just looking，thank you，” I said.
“That's a really nice paint kit. We sell a lot of them and, as you can see, that's the last one.” she said.
Paragraph 1：
I nodded my head in agreement, with my mind racing. But finally, I decided to place the_paint by number_kit back on the shelf and headed home. Luckily, once I got home, Mom was busy talking on the phone and Dad wasn't back home yet, so I was able to slip past the kitchen without being noticed. I went to my parents' room to return the coins I had taken. I arranged them into a neat stack—just like they were before—and sighed with relief, knowing I had done the right thing.
Paragraph 2：
I would just have to wait until I saved the extra money I needed. The salesclerk had even agreed that she would hold the paint set behind the counter for me until I had enough money to pay for it. I figured I could earn it by doing odd jobs around the house. Then I wasn't able to buy the paint kit until two weeks later, but it seemed extra special when I was finally able to lay my money on the counter. I smiled as I raced home knowing the paint kit would be the perfect present for Johnny.
