Kids Connect is a camp specifically for children with physical and mild(轻微的) intellectual(智力的) disabilities aged 9-16 (Individual consideration given to those over the age of 16). It is held in Blockhouse Bay, Auckland. Sometimes we require meeting a child before camp to make sure we are able to meet their needs during the camp.
Our camps are conducted by experienced people. We take every effort to give your children a safe and enjoyable weekend. Our aim is that every child comes away with lasting memories of what they have experienced, explored and enjoyed at our camp.
We focus on building strong, healthy relationships with other children (with and without physical disabilities) and with group leaders.
We have a weekend full of activities, action and fun:
●Team games and competitions, songs
●Outdoor sports
●Discussions, great food and lots of fun!
The camp fee is about $135 (subject to change). We also accept payment by way of Ministry of Health carer support forms.
Day visits and fees can be organized on an individual basis if a full weekend stay is unsuitable

I was eleven years old, standing outside when I watched the house that I grew up in burn to the ground. A few minutes earlier, I was asleep in my nice, warm bed.
My grandmother’s bedroom was just next to mine and my brother’s. A fire had broken out there and awakened her first. While I stumbled(蹒跚) around in the smoke and darkness, my brother ran from room to room quickly, waking everyone in the house. The house. however, was over 50 years old and made of wood. Before we could do anything the fire consumed(毁灭) it. We all made it outside before the flames destroyed every room.
I stood there shivering(颤抖) while the fire destroyed my hooks, clothes, and toys. I watched helplessly while my mum cried. I wondered what was going to happen to us now that we had lost all of our things.
As I looked around, though, I realized something for the first time: The things that matter aren’t things. I saw my elder brother running to get help. I saw my grandmother and dad hugging together. I realised at that moment that we were all alive. Everything that was important survived the fire. Our lives would continue. We would survive without the things that were burning. We would all be around to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered.
I still think of that fire in the night that helped me to become who I am today. It helped me to learn that the love we share is far more important than the things we have. Love others. Help everyone. Let the fire inside of you make this world a warmer place.
24. Who found the fire at first
A. The author himself. B. The author’s grandmother,
C. The author’s mother. D. The author’s elder brother.
25. Which word could best describe the author when he ran outside
A. Calm. B. Helpful. C. Frightened. D. Disappointed.
26. What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4
A. Lost things can’t come back.
B. Getting others’ help is necessary.
C. Material wealth isn’t the most important.
D. Lives must continue on if we lack love.
27. What happens to the author after the fire
A. He plans to build a new house. B. He is still what he used to be.
C. He only shares his love with his family. D. He is ready to help those in need.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章通过讲述自己家中失火的故事告诉读者，物质财富没有家人彼此的爱和帮助重要。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“My grandmother’s bedroom was just next to mine and my brother’s. A fire had broken out there and awakened her first.”(我祖母的卧室就在我和我哥哥的卧室旁边。那里起火了，首先把她惊醒了。)可知，作者的祖母第一个发现家里着火了。故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I stood there shivering(颤抖) while the fire destroyed my hooks, clothes, and toys.”(我站在那里瑟瑟发抖，大火烧毁了我的钩子、衣服和玩具。)可知，作者从房子里逃出来时是很害怕的。故选C。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“As I looked around, though, I realized something for the first time: The things that matter aren’t things. I saw my elder brother running to get help. I saw my grandmother and dad hugging together. I realised at that moment that we were all alive. Everything that was important survived the fire. Our lives would continue. We would survive without the things that were burning. We would all be around to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered.”(然而，当我环顾四周时，我第一次意识到了一件事：重要的东西不是东西。我看到我哥哥跑去寻求帮助。我看到奶奶和爸爸拥抱在一起。那一刻我意识到我们都还活着。所有重要的东西都在火灾中幸存下来。我们的生活将继续。如果没有燃烧的东西，我们会活下来。在未来的许多年里，我们都会相爱。这才是最重要的。)可知，作者说这句话的意思是，重要的不是物质的东西，而是大火之后，家人们还在身边，彼此之间的爱最重要。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I still think of that fire in the night that helped me to become who I am today. It helped me to learn that the love we snare is far more important than the things we have. Love others. Help everyone. Let the fire inside of you make this world a warmer place.”(我仍然记得帮助成就我的今天的那场大火。它帮助我认识到，我们捕获的爱远比我们拥有的东西更重要。爱别人。帮助每个人。让你内心的火让这个世界变得更温暖。)可知，大火之后，作者意识到，要爱别人，帮助每个人，让内心的火让这个世界变得更温暖。故选D。
C
One day in March 2008, I made a big decision. I decided to shut down my law practice and travel around the world in a year. What’s more, I would do it without taking any flights or making a single advance booking of any kind.
When I made this hare-brained plan, I didn’t mean to have an ever lasting life on the road. I was planning to come back after my year of travel, open a new law practice and write a hugely successful book about my adventure.
I set off on my adventure in December 2008 and I found travelling without using planes was not easy. Trying to travel around the world in 16 months made it even harder. Even so, traveling overland was the most amazing way to truly understand the immensity of our wonderful planet.
I took three overnight buses to travel 3,000 km through Argentina, from Ushuaia to the capital Buenos Aires. I would look out of the windows for hours on end at the completely unspoiled (未遭破坏的) plains (平原), as if humans had never touched it.
It took seven days and nights on trains to get from Moscow to Beijing, each day spent looking out of the windows for hours as the Siberian plains swept by. Sometimes, I wouldn’t see a village or a human being for ten hours. Later in my journey, it took me 22 days to get from New Zealand through the Panama Canal and back to Philadelphia to finish my round-the-world adventure.
It turned out that travelling with no advance booking was far less difficult than I had imagined. Pulling into a city on a bus with a backpack, looking in a guidebook for a few suggestions for accommodations and then finding an empty room was never much of a problem anywhere. It also kept me free and open about all my travel plans which is the advice I give to everyone who asks plan far less than you think you should.
28. What does the underlined word “hare-brained” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Clever. B. Secret. C. Crazy. D. Detailed.
29. What is an advantage of travelling around the world without using planes
A. Lower travel costs. B. Longer stays in each country.
C. Better appreciation of the world. D. More favourable accommodations.
30. What can we infer about the author from the text
A. He had a taste for adventure. B. He finished his global travel as planned.
C. He became a writer after his global travel. D. He planned his travel carefully in advance.
31. What did the author think of his around-the-world tour
A. Challenging but satisfying. B. Dangerous but wonderful.
C. Boring and risky. D. Costly and tiring.
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. A 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了2008年3月，作者决定停止律师事务所，在一年内环游世界，并且不打算坐飞机。讲述了旅途中的所见所闻以及感悟。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“One day in March 2008, I made a big decision. I decided to shut down my law practice and travel around the world in a year. What’s more, I would do it without taking any flights or making a single advance booking of any kind.(2008年3月的一天，我做了一个重大决定。我决定停止我的律师事务所，在一年内环游世界。更重要的是，我不会乘坐任何航班，也不会提前预订任何一种机票)”可知，作者打算不坐飞机环游世界，可知是一个疯狂的计划。故划线词意思是“疯狂的”。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Even so, traveling overland was the most amazing way to truly understand the immensity of our wonderful planet.(即便如此，陆路旅行是真正了解我们这个奇妙星球的最神奇的方式)”可知，不用飞机环游世界的好处是可以更好地欣赏世界。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“I took three overnight buses to travel 3,000 km through Argentina, from Ushuaia to the capital Buenos Aires. I would look out of the windows for hours on end at the completely unspoiled (未遭破坏的) plains (平原), as if humans had never touched it.(我坐了三辆通宵巴士，从乌斯怀亚到首都布宜诺斯艾利斯，在阿根廷旅行了3000公里。我常常一连几个小时望着窗外那片完全未受破坏的平原，仿佛人类从未碰过它似的)”以及倒数第二段“It took seven days and nights on trains to get from Moscow to Beijing, each day spent looking out of the windows for hours as the Siberian plains swept by. Sometimes, I wouldn’t see a village or a human being for ten hours. (从莫斯科到北京坐了七天七夜的火车，每天都要花几个小时看着窗外的西伯利亚平原掠过。有时，我10个小时都看不到一个村庄或一个人)”结合作者孤身一人，不坐飞机环游世界，推测作者喜欢冒险。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It turned out that travelling with no advance booking was far less difficult than I had imagined. Pulling into a city on a bus with a backpack, looking in a guidebook for a few suggestions for accommodations and then finding an empty room was never much of a problem anywhere. It also kept me free and open about all my travel plans which is the advice I give to everyone who asks plan far less than you think you should.(事实证明，没有提前预订的旅行远没有我想象的那么困难。带着背包坐公共汽车进入一个城市，在旅游指南上寻找一些住宿建议，然后找到一个空房间，这在任何地方都不是什么大问题。这也让我对我所有的旅行计划保持自由和开放，这是我给每个问我的人的建议——计划远远少于你认为你应该做的)”可推知，作者认为他的环球旅行具有挑战性但令人满意。故选A。
D
Some people have always been attracted to the world of movies and movie stars. One way to get closer to this word is to become a movie extra. Extras are the people seated at tables in a restaurant while the two main actors are in conversation. They are the guests at the wedding of the main characters. Extras don’t normally speak any lines, but they help make the scene look real.
Being a movie extra might seem like a lot of fun. You get to see what life is like behind the scenes. But don’t forget that being an extra is really a job and it’s mostly about doing nothing. First-time extras are often shocked to learn how slow the process of movie making is. In a finished movie, the action may move quickly. But it can sometimes take a whole day to shoot a scene that appears for just a few minutes on the screen.
The main requirement for being an extra is the ability to wait. You may report to work at 5:00 or 6:00 a.m., and then you wait until the director is ready for your scene. This could take several hours. Then there may be technical problems, and you have to wait a little longer. After the director says “action” and you do the first “take”, you may have to do it again if the director is not satisfied with the scene. In fact, you may have to do the same scene over and over again.
Despite the long hours and low pay, many people still apply for the job. Some people truly enjoy the work. They like being on a movie set, and they enjoy being with other extras. Most of them have flexible schedules, which allow them to be available. They may be students, writers, old people, or jobless actors. Some actors hope the work will help them get real acting jobs, but it doesn’t happen often.
The next time you see a movie don’t just watch the stars. Take a closer look at the people in the background. Maybe there is someone in the crowd who is just like you.
32. Why are extras needed in a movie
A. To find people with a talent for acting. B. To advance the storyline of a movie.
C. To save the cost of filming a movie. D. To give viewers a sense of realism.
33. Which of the following can best describe extras job according to the text
A. Terrible. B. Well-paid. C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
34. What is the requirement for extras
A. Ability to express oneself clearly. B. Good communication skills.
C. A strong body. D. Enough free time.
35. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The way of becoming an extra. B. The competition among extras.
C. The reasons for being an extra. D. The role of extras in a movie.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了临时演员这一职业，介绍了其特点以及人们做临时演员的原因。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Extras don’t normally speak any lines, but they help make the scene look real.(临时演员通常不会说任何台词，但他们有助于使现场看起来真实)”可知，临时演员主要是为了给观众真实感。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“But don’t forget that being an extra is really a job and it’s mostly about doing nothing. First-time extras are often shocked to learn how slow the process of movie making is. In a finished movie, the action may move quickly. But it can sometimes take a whole day to shoot a scene that appears for just a few minutes on the screen.(但别忘了，做临时演员其实是一份工作，基本上就是无所事事。第一次当临时演员的人往往会惊讶地发现电影制作的过程如此之慢。在一部完成的电影里，行动可能会迅速展开。但有时拍一个在屏幕上只出现几分钟的场景可能要花上一整天的时间)”以及第三段中“The main requirement for being an extra is the ability to wait. You may report to work at 5:00 or 6:00 a.m., and then you wait until the director is ready for your scene. This could take several hours. Then there may be technical problems, and you have to wait a little longer.(做临时演员的主要要求是有等待的能力。你可以在早上5点或6点去报到，然后等到导演准备好你的场景。这可能需要几个小时。然后可能会出现技术问题，你就得再等一段时间)”可推知，临时演员要求很高。故选C。

主旨大意题。根据第四段“Despite the long hours and low pay, many people still apply for the job. Some people truly enjoy the work. They like being on a movie set, and they enjoy being with other extras. Most of them have flexible schedules, which allow them to be available. They may be students, writers, old people, or jobless actors. Some actors hope the work will help them get real acting jobs, but it doesn’t happen often.(尽管工作时间长、工资低，许多人仍然申请这份工作。有些人真的喜欢这份工作。他们喜欢在电影片场，也喜欢和其他临时演员在一起。他们中的大多数人都有灵活的时间表，这使得他们可以随时抽出时间。他们可能是学生、作家、老人或没有工作的演员。一些演员希望这份工作能帮助他们得到真正的表演工作，但这种情况并不经常发生)”可知，第四段主要讲了做临时演员的原因。故选C。

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。
Nowadays, many of us are working long hours at home, so more than ever, we are in need of a pet to help relieve anxiety and provide company for the lonely days. ____36____ There are simply too many benefits to list, so we've gathered only our top reasons.
____37____ Working long hours from home can never be a nice thing. Without all the human contact we would normally get in the office, we can often find ourselves feeling lonely and isolated. However, with a pet at home we're likely to feel much better.
A call to head outdoors. For those who have an animal that enjoys going outdoors, pets can serve as a great reminder of heading outdoors to get some fresh air. ____38____ However, often owners will return from their walks feeling calmer, more relaxed and more energized. Whatever the weather, getting outside is beneficial to us.

【答案】36. E 37. A 38. F 39. G 40. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了在家工作时养宠物的好处。
【36题详解】
上文“Nowadays, many of us are working long hours at home, so more than ever, we are in need of a pet to help relieve anxiety and provide company for the lonely days.(现在，我们很多人在家工作很长时间，所以我们比以往任何时候都更需要一只宠物来帮助缓解焦虑，为孤独的日子提供陪伴)”说明养宠物的必要性，下文“There are simply too many benefits to list, so we've gathered only our top reasons.( 有太多的好处需要列举，所以我们只收集了一些首要的原因)”说明养宠物有许多益处，E项中的“positive effects”一致，因此推断E项“宠物对我们的心理健康的积极影响是惊人的”符合语境，与上下是顺承关系，故选E。
【37题详解】
空格处是段落小标题。根据下文“Without all the human contact we would normally get in the office, we can often find ourselves feeling lonely and isolated. However, with a pet at home we're likely to feel much better.(如果我们不能得到通常在办公室中得到的人类接触，我们经常会发现自己感到孤独和孤立。然而，有了一只宠物在家，我们很可能会感觉要好得多)”可知，宠物可以缓解孤独。因此推断A项“孤独的终结”为标题。故选A。
【38题详解】
上文“For those who have an animal that enjoys going outdoors, pets can serve as a great reminder of heading outdoors to get some fresh air.(对于有喜欢去户外的动物的那些人来说，宠物可以很好地提醒人们去户外呼吸一些新鲜空气)”说明一个喜欢到户外去的宠物可以提醒人们到户外去呼吸新鲜空气，下文的However表示与空格处是转折关系，下文“often owners will return from their walks feeling calmer, more relaxed and more energized. Whatever the weather, getting outside is beneficial to us(经常主人散步回来会感觉更平静，更放松，更有活力。不管天气如何，出去对我们有益)”，F项中的“heading out for a walk”与上文的“going outdoors”呼应，“may not seem attractive”与下文的“feeling calmer, more relaxed and more energized”是转折关系。因此推断F项“雨天出去散步的任务或许并没有吸引力”符合语境。故选F。
【39题详解】
上文“Often, when we feel loneliness or anxiety, we tend to be focusing inwards, to our own worries and self-doubts.(通常，当我们感到孤独或焦虑时，我们往往会关注内心，关注自己的担忧和自我怀疑)”说到了一些消极情绪，G项中的“those negative feelings”与上文一致，因此推断G项“把我们的注意力导向外部世界有助于缓解这些消极情绪”符合语境。故选G。
【40题详解】
上文“Without a pet, we'll find it hard to keep our daily routine while working at home.(没有宠物，我们会发现在家工作时很难保持我们日常生活习惯)”说明没有宠物，我们保持日常的生活习惯很难，C项中的“skip meals or sleep late”是不能保持日常生活习惯的举例说明，因此推断C项“我们往往不吃饭或睡得很晚”符合语境。故选C。

77. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was home with my two young kids, when my mind started to wander. I was reflecting on my past and couldn’t help but think: Whatever happened to Kathy
Kathy lived in a tiny Canadian town and she became my pen pal when I was 13. As a girl growing up in New Zealand, I was curious to learn more about the world and Kathy’s letters certainly showed me how different life could be in another country.
When I was 18, the letters had petered out (逐渐减少) and we lost contact. I’d gone on to marry my husband, Paul, and start a family, but the more I thought about it, the more I missed news of Kathy’s adventures. I decided to write to Kathy and knowing that her parents lived in such a small town, I addressed the letter to them and hoped for the best.
Three weeks later, my heart leapt when I got an envelope postmarked from Canada. “I recognized your handwriting straightaway,” Kathy wrote to me. It turned out that, like me, she’d also married but due to health problems, she was unable to have children. Her job as a nurse kept her busy and she enjoyed helping others.
Realizing how quickly life could change. I promised to keep writing to her no matter what. Her letters soon became a highlight for me, giving me the same excitement I’d felt as a 13-year-old.
One day, when Paul was using the saw (锯子) to cut some wood, a splinter (尖细条) flew into the center of my right eye and I lost my sight permanently. Paul felt terrible and while it was a huge blow (打击) for me, I tried to carry on as best I could. Soon, I needed an artificial eye (义眼, 假眼) and received financial compensation (赔偿) as a result of the accident in our yard.
One day, Paul advised “Gayel, you should use the money to do something for yourself.” “Maybe I should use it to meet Kathy,” I joked, thinking it would take a very long time and couldn’t really happen. I expected Paul to be against it, but he was all for it. “That’s exactly what you should do,” he insisted, knowing how much this friendship meant to me. I struggled so much inside that I tossed and turned at night. But I finally made up my mind to visit Kathy, a friend I knew well but hadn’t seen in years.
注意：1. 续写词数应为100左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
So I left Paul and the kids to travel 30 hours to reach Kathy.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
So I left Paul and the kids to travel 30 hours to reach Kathy. Of course I was nervous. We’d poured our hearts out to one another for decades but had never actually met face to face. My nerves disappeared the moment I stepped off the plane and spotted Kathy with her mother, sisters and a good friend, all waiting for me. “I’m finally here!” I choked as we hugged each other in tears. For the next 10 days, Kathy showed me the sights of Canada. As we said goodbye, I knew this wouldn’t be the last time we saw each other. At that moment, I realized that even though we were separated by thousands of miles, our friendship remained, and I believed we would meet again!

Kids Connect is a camp specifically for children with physical and mild(轻微的) intellectual(智力的) disabilities aged 9-16 (Individual consideration given to those over the age of 16). It is held in Blockhouse Bay, Auckland. Sometimes we require meeting a child before camp to make sure we are able to meet their needs during the camp.
Our camps are conducted by experienced people. We take every effort to give your children a safe and enjoyable weekend. Our aim is that every child comes away with lasting memories of what they have experienced, explored and enjoyed at our camp.
We focus on building strong, healthy relationships with other children (with and without physical disabilities) and with group leaders.
We have a weekend full of activities, action and fun:
●Team games and competitions, songs
●Outdoor sports
●Discussions, great food and lots of fun!
The camp fee is about $135 (subject to change). We also accept payment by way of Ministry of Health carer support forms.
Day visits and fees can be organized on an individual basis if a full weekend stay is unsuitable

I was eleven years old, standing outside when I watched the house that I grew up in burn to the ground. A few minutes earlier, I was asleep in my nice, warm bed.
My grandmother’s bedroom was just next to mine and my brother’s. A fire had broken out there and awakened her first. While I stumbled(蹒跚) around in the smoke and darkness, my brother ran from room to room quickly, waking everyone in the house. The house. however, was over 50 years old and made of wood. Before we could do anything the fire consumed(毁灭) it. We all made it outside before the flames destroyed every room.
I stood there shivering(颤抖) while the fire destroyed my hooks, clothes, and toys. I watched helplessly while my mum cried. I wondered what was going to happen to us now that we had lost all of our things.
As I looked around, though, I realized something for the first time: The things that matter aren’t things. I saw my elder brother running to get help. I saw my grandmother and dad hugging together. I realised at that moment that we were all alive. Everything that was important survived the fire. Our lives would continue. We would survive without the things that were burning. We would all be around to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered.
I still think of that fire in the night that helped me to become who I am today. It helped me to learn that the love we share is far more important than the things we have. Love others. Help everyone. Let the fire inside of you make this world a warmer place.
24. Who found the fire at first
A. The author himself. B. The author’s grandmother,
C. The author’s mother. D. The author’s elder brother.
25. Which word could best describe the author when he ran outside
A. Calm. B. Helpful. C. Frightened. D. Disappointed.
26. What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4
A. Lost things can’t come back.
B. Getting others’ help is necessary.
C. Material wealth isn’t the most important.
D. Lives must continue on if we lack love.
27. What happens to the author after the fire
A. He plans to build a new house. B. He is still what he used to be.
C. He only shares his love with his family. D. He is ready to help those in need.
C
One day in March 2008, I made a big decision. I decided to shut down my law practice and travel around the world in a year. What’s more, I would do it without taking any flights or making a single advance booking of any kind.
When I made this hare-brained plan, I didn’t mean to have an ever lasting life on the road. I was planning to come back after my year of travel, open a new law practice and write a hugely successful book about my adventure.
I set off on my adventure in December 2008 and I found travelling without using planes was not easy. Trying to travel around the world in 16 months made it even harder. Even so, traveling overland was the most amazing way to truly understand the immensity of our wonderful planet.
I took three overnight buses to travel 3,000 km through Argentina, from Ushuaia to the capital Buenos Aires. I would look out of the windows for hours on end at the completely unspoiled (未遭破坏的) plains (平原), as if humans had never touched it.
It took seven days and nights on trains to get from Moscow to Beijing, each day spent looking out of the windows for hours as the Siberian plains swept by. Sometimes, I wouldn’t see a village or a human being for ten hours. Later in my journey, it took me 22 days to get from New Zealand through the Panama Canal and back to Philadelphia to finish my round-the-world adventure.
It turned out that travelling with no advance booking was far less difficult than I had imagined. Pulling into a city on a bus with a backpack, looking in a guidebook for a few suggestions for accommodations and then finding an empty room was never much of a problem anywhere. It also kept me free and open about all my travel plans which is the advice I give to everyone who asks plan far less than you think you should.
28. What does the underlined word “hare-brained” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Clever. B. Secret. C. Crazy. D. Detailed.
29. What is an advantage of travelling around the world without using planes
A. Lower travel costs. B. Longer stays in each country.
C. Better appreciation of the world. D. More favourable accommodations.
30. What can we infer about the author from the text
A. He had a taste for adventure. B. He finished his global travel as planned.
C. He became a writer after his global travel. D. He planned his travel carefully in advance.
31. What did the author think of his around-the-world tour
A. Challenging but satisfying. B. Dangerous but wonderful.
C. Boring and risky. D. Costly and tiring.
D
Some people have always been attracted to the world of movies and movie stars. One way to get closer to this word is to become a movie extra. Extras are the people seated at tables in a restaurant while the two main actors are in conversation. They are the guests at the wedding of the main characters. Extras don’t normally speak any lines, but they help make the scene look real.
Being a movie extra might seem like a lot of fun. You get to see what life is like behind the scenes. But don’t forget that being an extra is really a job and it’s mostly about doing nothing. First-time extras are often shocked to learn how slow the process of movie making is. In a finished movie, the action may move quickly. But it can sometimes take a whole day to shoot a scene that appears for just a few minutes on the screen.
The main requirement for being an extra is the ability to wait. You may report to work at 5:00 or 6:00 a.m., and then you wait until the director is ready for your scene. This could take several hours. Then there may be technical problems, and you have to wait a little longer. After the director says “action” and you do the first “take”, you may have to do it again if the director is not satisfied with the scene. In fact, you may have to do the same scene over and over again.
Despite the long hours and low pay, many people still apply for the job. Some people truly enjoy the work. They like being on a movie set, and they enjoy being with other extras. Most of them have flexible schedules, which allow them to be available. They may be students, writers, old people, or jobless actors. Some actors hope the work will help them get real acting jobs, but it doesn’t happen often.
The next time you see a movie don’t just watch the stars. Take a closer look at the people in the background. Maybe there is someone in the crowd who is just like you.
32. Why are extras needed in a movie
A. To find people with a talent for acting. B. To advance the storyline of a movie.
C. To save the cost of filming a movie. D. To give viewers a sense of realism.
33. Which of the following can best describe extras job according to the text
A. Terrible. B. Well-paid. C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
34. What is the requirement for extras
A. Ability to express oneself clearly. B. Good communication skills.
C. A strong body. D. Enough free time.
35. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. The way of becoming an extra. B. The competition among extras.
C. The reasons for being an extra. D. The role of extras in a movie.

77. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was home with my two young kids, when my mind started to wander. I was reflecting on my past and couldn’t help but think: Whatever happened to Kathy
Kathy lived in a tiny Canadian town and she became my pen pal when I was 13. As a girl growing up in New Zealand, I was curious to learn more about the world and Kathy’s letters certainly showed me how different life could be in another country.
When I was 18 the letters had petered out (逐渐减少) and we lost contact. I’d gone on to marry my husband, Paul, and start a family, but the more I thought about it, the more I missed news of Kathy’s adventures. I decided to write to Kathy and knowing that her parents lived in such a small town, I addressed the letter to them and hoped for the best.
Three weeks later, my heart leapt when I got an envelope postmarked from Canada. “I recognized your handwriting straightaway,” Kathy wrote to me. It turned out that, like me, she’d also married but due to health problems, she was unable to have children. Her job as a nurse kept her busy and she enjoyed helping others.
Realizing how quickly life could change. I promised to keep writing to her no matter what. Her letters soon became a highlight for me, giving me the same excitement I’d felt as a 13-year-old.
One day, when Paul was using the saw (锯子) to cut some wood, a splinter (尖细条) flew into the center of my right eye and I lost my sight permanently. Paul felt terrible and while it was a huge blow (打击) for me, I tried to carry on as best I could. Soon, I needed an artificial eye (义眼, 假眼) and received financial compensation (赔偿) as a result of the accident in our yard.
One day, Paul advised “Gayel, you should use the money to do something for yourself.” “Maybe I should use it to meet Kathy,” I joked, thinking it would take a very long time and couldn’t really happen. I expected Paul to be against it, but he was all for it. “That’s exactly what you should do,” he insisted, knowing how much this friendship meant to me. I struggled so much inside that I tossed and turned at night. But I finally made up my mind to visit Kathy, a friend I knew well but hadn’t seen in years.
注意：1. 续写词数应为100左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
So I left Paul and the kids to travel 30 hours to reach Kathy.
