It was our last class before the summer break. I was finishing the first year of an MFA program. I was tired and puzzled. “Was I good enough to be in the program ” When the professor asked about our summer plans, I panicked. I didn’t want to appear idle (无所事事的). “Gardening,” I responded immediately. Actually, I knew nothing about plants! My professor nodded and said, “What a good idea, Mary! Emily Dickinson loved gardening.”
Emily Dickinson lived in the countryside, studying plants as a child. I was in my late twenties, living in the city without gardening experience.
A few days later, I bought a jalape o seedling (青辣椒苗). At least I could say I’d tried gardening. I watered and changed the dirt for my little plant. I even talked to it. And over the summer, it grew bigger and bigger. I was proud. Maybe I didn’t have a black thumb after all.
I started the second year of my MFA, and then it was almost December and my jalape o was suffering. It was brown in some places, and many of its leaves had fallen. Would my little guy make it I prayed, “Please be okay,” as if its survival was closely linked to mine.
I worked hard in school. Spring came. My jalape o plant came back to life. It grew bigger with new leaves. And then it flowered. I handed in my graduate paper, a book of poems, in May. “Your poems are strong,” my professor said.
A huge weight lifted. I’d done it! At that time, I found the flowers on my jalape o plant were gone. I watched closer. A tiny green fruit pushed through where a flower had been. I smiled. I had succeeded in my MFA program, and my jalape o plant had grown right beside me, and I successfully did things I hadn’t thought possible.
24. Why did the author begin gardening
A. Just by accident. B. Because of the love of gardening.
C. To express love for Emily Dickinson. D. Because of the reminding of a professor.
25. When did the author begin her first gardening
A. In her childhood. B. In one of her summer breaks.
C. In her teens. D. In her first year of the MFA program.
26. What does the underlined phrase “a black thumb” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. A talent for growing plants well. B. A dirty finger to touch plants.
C. A good fortune to do everything. D. The inability to do gardening.
27. Which proverb can best describe the story
A. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. B. Easier said than done.
C. It's never too old to learn. D. Do not teach fish to swim.
C
Faced with greater competition, movie theaters have tried various experiments to upgrade the cinematic experience, including bigger and brighter screens and shaking seats. But a major challenge for exhibitors is to make the experience more attractive without depending on tricks.
One local theater, Regal L. A. Live, is experimenting with an idea that managers say strikes the right balance between so-called upgrade and sensory overload. The downtown L. A. theater plans to introduce Immersive Cinema Experience known as ICE technology in one of its auditoriums (礼堂) this fall.
The 190-seat auditorium will feature a traditional screen at the front, like any other theater. But the audience will also have five LED screens on both sides that will flood moviegoers’ peripheral (周边的) vision with lights and colors based on what's playing on the main screen. For example, if you’re watching a scene that takes place in the African desert, the LED might shower the audience with enveloping colors of sky-blue, sun-like yellow sand. But importantly, viewers won’t have to turn their necks to catch any additional onscreen action. “When you’re watching the movie, you actually feel very absorbed in the film,” said Shelby Russell, a manager at L. A. Live. “It strengthens the mood of each of the scenes.”
Regal L. A. Live will be the first U.S theater to employ the technology. Managers did not say how much tickets would cost, but like other previous formats such as Imax, they will be more expensive than standard admission.
Other cinemas have tried to introduce some other formats as theaters face growing threats from popular media. Results have been mixed, though. 4DX, which uses seat movements, water and scent effects, operates in more than 620 theaters around the world. On the other hand, Barco Escape, a once promising idea for a three-screen theatrical design, failed to catch on. Shelby said the success of ICE theaters in France, where it competes with Imax, indicated well for its U.S. expansion. “The problem with other formats is that they distract the moviegoer from the film,” Shelby said. “ICE appeals to a very large audience.”
28. What leads cinemas to experiment with new technology
A. Expensive admission. B. Growing competition.
C. Mixed results of previous formats. D. The increasing number of moviegoers.
29. What does ICE use to upgrade cinematic experience
A. Brighter colors. B. Shaking seats.
C. Multiple screens. D. Sweet-scented effects.
30. How do the audience feel when watching films in an ICE cinema
A. Absorbed in the movie. B. Distracted from the screens.
C. Overloaded with excitement. D. Tired from turning their necks.
31. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Imax failed to catch on in France. B. ICE looks promising in the U.S.
C. Barco Escape is a popular design. D. The use of 4DX is on the decline.
D
While many of us may have been away somewhere nice last summer, few would say that we’ve “summered”. “Summer” is clearly a noun, more precisely, a verbed noun.
Way back in our childhood, we all learned the difference between a noun and a verb. With such a tidy definition, it was easy to spot the difference. Not so in adulthood where we are expected to “foot” bills, “chair” committees, and “dialogue” with political opponents. Chances are you didn’t feel uncomfortable about the sight of those verbed nouns.
“The verbing of nouns is as old as the English language,” says Patricia O’Conner, a former editor at The New York Times Book Review. Experts estimate that 20 percent of all English verbs were originally nouns. And the phenomenon seems to be snowballing. Since 1900, about 40 percent of all new verbs have come from nouns.
Even though conversion (转变) is quite universal, plenty of grammarians object to the practice. William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White in The Elements of Style - the Bible for the use of American English - have this to say: “Many nouns lately have been pressed into service as verbs. Not all are bad, but all are suspect.” The Chicago Manual of Style takes a similar standpoint advising writers to use verbs with great care.
“Sometimes people object to a new verb because they resist what is unfamiliar to them,” says O’Conner. That’s why we’re comfortable “hosting” a party, but we might feel upset by the thought of “medaling” in sports. So, are there any rules for verbing Benjamin Drever, copy chief at Random House, doesn’t offer a rule, but suggests that people think twice about “verbifying” noun if it’s easily replaceable by an already existing popular verb. “Make sure it’s descriptive but not silly-sounding," he says.
In the end, however, style is subjective. Easy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part of English grammar for centuries; it is one of the processes that make English “English”. Not every new word passes into general use, but as for trying to end verbing altogether, forget it.
32. What can we learn about the verbing of nouns
A. It hasn’t recently been opposed by many grammarians.
B. It is more commonly accepted by children than adults.
C. It hasn’t been a rare phenomenon in the past century.
D. It is easily replaced by existing verbs in practice.
33. What is most leading experts’ attitude towards the practice of the verbing of nouns
A. Cautious. B. Satisfied. C. Disappointed. D. Unconcerned.
34. What does the author think of ending the verbing of nouns
A. Predictable. B. Practicable. C. Approaching. D. Impossible.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Are 40 Percent of All New Verbs from Nouns
B. Are Summering and Medaling Annoying
C. Are You Comfortable About a New Verb
D. Are There Any Rules for Verbing
