Ken Burns has been making movies for more than 30 years. His documentaries (纪录片) are nonfiction records of history. In his films, Ken shares American history by allowing ordinary men and women to tell their own stories. The National Parks: America’s Best Idea is a documentary that shows nature at its best. Ken’s film tells the story of the people who fought to protect the land for future generations to use and enjoy.
For Ken, there are direct connections between people who lived long ago and people living today. It is his job as a filmmaker and observer of history to make those connections clear for viewers of his films.
It all began for Ken in Brooklyn, New York, where he was born on July 29, 1953. Because of his father’s work, the family moved often before Ken was 10. When he was 11 years old, Ken’s mother died of an illness. The family was living in Michigan at the time, and Ken and his dad spent many nights watching old John Ford films together. He was touched by the power that movies could have and was determined to learn the craft.
After high school, Ken chose to attend Hampshire College in Massachusetts, to study film. His professors frowned on the Hollywood style of moviemaking and encouraged him to make documentaries.
In 1990, Ken released The Civil War, an 11-hour series that was shown on public television. The film used more than 16, 000 historical photographs and many noted actors. Ken brought the images to life by slowly panning the camera over a photograph as an actor read a personal letter written by the subject of the picture. Music played in the background. This technique became known as the Ken Burns Effect: the feeling of bringing the viewer back in time and connecting him or her with the past.
The Civil War won more than 40 major film, music, and television awards. But Ken does not make movies for fame or fortune. He has turned down many offers to work as a Hollywood movie director on multimillion-dollar films. “The past lives that people lived, their stories, the everyday things are what really touch my heart,” Ken says.
24. What is a characteristic of Ken’s works
A. They focus on people living in the moment.
B. They stress differences between generations.
C. They feature natural scenery.
D. They bring history to life.
25. In what aspect has Ken’s childhood influenced him
A. His attitude toward trips.
B. His interest in learning history.
C. His plan for his future career.
D. His understanding of the Hollywood style.
26. What can be learned about Ken’s The Civil War
A. It made him stand out.
B. It was quite complex for the viewers.
C. It applied the traditional techniques successfully.
D. It led him to become a Hollywood movie director.
27. What is the purpose of the text
A. To describe a well-known documentary.
B. To share the joy of recording history.
C. To figure out how to make a movie.
D. To introduce a filmmaker.
C
Not only do children take great joy in uncovering the structure of reality through their play, but they also tend to be deeply attracted to unrealistic games and stories. For a long time, both parents and researchers supposed that those flights of fancy (异想天开) were, at best, harmless fun — perhaps necessary to let off a little steam now and then, but with no real purpose. But new work in developmental science shows not only that children are perfectly able to separate reality from fiction, but also that an attraction to fantastic situations might actually be helpful to their learning.
I arrived at this conclusion after testing ways of teaching new vocabulary to preschoolers. To do the study, my team presented new words in the course of a shared book-reading activity.
The intervention succeeded, and children’s understanding of the new words improved between pre and post-testing. But what was most interesting to us was the difference between two groups of children in this study: those whose stories described realistic themes, such as cooking, and those whose stories described fantasy themes, such as dragons. At the start of the study, children knew less about words from the fantasy books, perhaps because these words were somewhat more challenging. But we found that children’s vocabulary was increased over the course of the intervention and, at the post-test, they knew as much about these words as they did about the words from the realistic stories. That is, children gained more knowledge from the fantasy stories than from the realistic ones.
This finding is surprising, since it flies in the face of everything we know about learning. A large body of literature in psychology has shown that the more similar the learning context is to the context where the information is finally going to be applied, the better. This strongly suggests that the realistic books should have helped children learn the meanings of words better. But our study showed exactly the opposite: the fantasy books, the ones that were less similar to reality, allowed children to learn more.
28. What is the long-held view of fantasy literature
A. It is boring. B. It is harmful.
C. It is enjoyable. D. It is necessary.
29. What was the students’ vocabulary like before the test
A. It was hardly related to cooking.
B. A greater part was from realistic stories.
C. Most big words were about fantasy literature.
D. It was equally divided between reality and fantasy.
30. What is the finding of the study
A. Fantasy literature inspires kids to learn more actively.
B. Fantasy literature is being given too much importance.
C. Fantasy literature is reaching a stage of full development.
D. Fantasy literature contains more information than realistic literature.
31. In what way did the author carry out the study
A. By asking kids to write short stories.
B. By analyzing previous studies.
C. By interviewing students.
D. By making comparisons.
D
The soup of talent that covers the planet makes our world function beautifully. From athletes, to writers, and so many more, people make the world go around. However, many of us don’t have jobs that are aligned with (与……一致) our values and qualities. It’s up to us to make changes, experimenting until we find a role that makes us feel alive, discovering that job which makes us tap-dance out of bed to work. To do that, it’s worth asking ourselves periodically: How can I best serve human beings around the world with my unique talents and strengths
Most of us don’t ask the question because we’ve been thinking that ‘work’ is a burden (负担). Yes, all work will be tiring and challenging at times, but beneath that, it can be enthralling if we do it right. It can fill our lives with purpose, meaning, and joy, and for many it does.
Through our work, we are telling other people who we are. Finding work in which we can lose ourselves is helpful, as we experience the sensation of being transported into a different reality. Something removes the division between work and the rest of our lives, until we can no longer regard them as clearly different.
I think this quote sums up this state perfectly: The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labour and his leisure, his mind and his body ... He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues (追求) his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he’s always doing both.
To become a master in the art of living, and find our calling, we should start with growing our compassion for the people that could benefit from our work. From that state, we’ll create a healthier perspective towards work, and increase the likelihood of satisfying our desires along the way.
32. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1
A. Our work reflects who we are.
B. Our work exists to serve others.
C. It’s beneficial to change work regularly.
D. It’s necessary for a worker to get up early.
33. What does the underlined word “enthralling” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Exactly identical. B. Fairly beautiful.
C. Extremely interesting. D. Highly ambitious.
34. What is the master in the art of living like
A. He prefers a simple life.
B. He goes all out for everything.
C. He pursues perfection in daily life.
D. He balances work and life effectively.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Choosing your life’s work
B. Is work a necessary burden
C. What type of work would suit you
D. Challenging yourself to live the life you want

The father of engineering
Eight hundred years ago, a man in southern Turkey invented an amazing clock. It was more than 23 feet high. At its base was a life-size model elephant. 36 The whole clock came alive: Model birds, dragons, and people started to move.
The clock’s inventor was an engineer named al-Jazari. He lived in Diyarbakir, a city in Turkey. Al-Jazari was probably one of the greatest engineers in history. Some historians call him “the father of modern-day engineering”. We know about al-Jazari mostly from a book that he wrote. 37 They include clocks, hand-washing machines, and pumps (泵) for moving water. His book is an invaluable store of knowledge about early engineering. It is successful because unlike other authors, he minutely describes each detail of his machines and it also has drawings that show how each machine works. 38 One of the most valuable things that he created was a water system for supplying water to various parts of the city.
39 Without his machines with moving parts, we might not have modern-day robots.
40 A full-size working model is in Dubai’s Ibn Battuta Mall. There, every half hour, al-Jazari’s most amazing invention comes to life once again.
Al-Jazari used complex systems to build his machines. The creativity and skill presented in his craft are widely respected today, and he is remembered worldwide as an energetic and gifted engineer.
A. He designed different types of clocks.
B. His clocks were built eight centuries ago.
C. Every half hour, something amazing happened.
D. Many everyday things today still use al-Jazari’s ideas.
E. It describes a number of machines of all shapes and sizes.
F. So it helped many future engineers enjoy the benefits of his skill.
G. Today, it is still possible to see what al-Jazari’s elephant clock looked like.

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Ever try to get your children to wear bike helmets They cry, “Johnny and Sara said helmets are for nerds (书呆子)!” And you respond, “I don’t care what Johnny and Sara say. You’ll do as I say!” This tactic (手段) usually fails, of course. It didn’t work when your parents said that to you, did it
Today, wearing a helmet is vital to your child’s safety. Each year, bike-related accidents injure about 350, 000 children age 14 and under. Many suffer head injuries; bike helmets can reduce the risk of head injuries by 85 percent. Yet, peer pressure (同伴压力) can be a safety risk for children. Experts say children begin to care more about their friends’ opinions than their parents’ as early as the second grade. A child may refuse to wear a helmet if friends don’t, or if they think wearing a bike helmet is not “cool.”
How can a safety-conscious ( 有安全意识的) parent deal with this kind of peer pressure The National SAFE KIDS Campaign provides some suggestions for parents. You can encourage helmet use before “being cool” matters. Some experts suggest putting helmets on children when they begin riding tricycles. If children get used to wearing helmets before age seven, they may find them more acceptable later. It is also important for you to set a good example. The example of parents strongly influences children. You can set a household rule that applies to everyone: If you ride a bicycle, you wear a helmet. In addition, you can promote bicycle helmet use among other parents. Educate other parents about how helmets can reduce the risk of head injuries. This will reduce peer pressure by making rules consistent from household to household.
Every time your children ride a bicycle, ask them to wear helmets, even if it is a five-minute ride. It is your responsibility as a parent. Take a stand when peer pressure is working against you. Be firm. Make it clear that if your children do not wear helmets, they cannot ride their bicycles.

Dear Lucy,
I’m glad to receive your e-mail and I’d like to tell you about my role model. He is Yuan Longping, a Chinese agricultural scientist, known for developing the first hybrid rice varieties in the 1970s. His rice has since been grown not only in China but in many other countries. In the course of his decades-long research, he encountered lots of hardships but he never gave up. The great scientist is the guiding light in my life. I hope to live my life in a similar way.
Yours,
Li Hua

Ken Burns has been making movies for more than 30 years. His documentaries (纪录片) are nonfiction records of history. In his films, Ken shares American history by allowing ordinary men and women to tell their own stories. The National Parks: America’s Best Idea is a documentary that shows nature at its best. Ken’s film tells the story of the people who fought to protect the land for future generations to use and enjoy.
For Ken, there are direct connections between people who lived long ago and people living today. It is his job as a filmmaker and observer of history to make those connections clear for viewers of his films.
It all began for Ken in Brooklyn, New York, where he was born on July 29, 1953. Because of his father’s work, the family moved often before Ken was 10. When he was 11 years old, Ken’s mother died of an illness. The family was living in Michigan at the time, and Ken and his dad spent many nights watching old John Ford films together. He was touched by the power that movies could have and was determined to learn the craft.
After high school, Ken chose to attend Hampshire College in Massachusetts, to study film. His professors frowned on the Hollywood style of moviemaking and encouraged him to make documentaries.
In 1990, Ken released The Civil War, an 11-hour series that was shown on public television. The film used more than 16, 000 historical photographs and many noted actors. Ken brought the images to life by slowly panning the camera over a photograph as an actor read a personal letter written by the subject of the picture. Music played in the background. This technique became known as the Ken Burns Effect: the feeling of bringing the viewer back in time and connecting him or her with the past.
The Civil War won more than 40 major film, music, and television awards. But Ken does not make movies for fame or fortune. He has turned down many offers to work as a Hollywood movie director on multimillion-dollar films. “The past lives that people lived, their stories, the everyday things are what really touch my heart,” Ken says.
24. What is a characteristic of Ken’s works
A. They focus on people living in the moment.
B. They stress differences between generations.
C. They feature natural scenery.
D. They bring history to life.
25. In what aspect has Ken’s childhood influenced him
A. His attitude toward trips.
B. His interest in learning history.
C. His plan for his future career.
D. His understanding of the Hollywood style.
26. What can be learned about Ken’s The Civil War
A. It made him stand out.
B. It was quite complex for the viewers.
C. It applied the traditional techniques successfully.
D. It led him to become a Hollywood movie director.
27. What is the purpose of the text
A. To describe a well-known documentary.
B. To share the joy of recording history.
C. To figure out how to make a movie.
D. To introduce a filmmaker.
C
Not only do children take great joy in uncovering the structure of reality through their play, but they also tend to be deeply attracted to unrealistic games and stories. For a long time, both parents and researchers supposed that those flights of fancy (异想天开) were, at best, harmless fun — perhaps necessary to let off a little steam now and then, but with no real purpose. But new work in developmental science shows not only that children are perfectly able to separate reality from fiction, but also that an attraction to fantastic situations might actually be helpful to their learning.
I arrived at this conclusion after testing ways of teaching new vocabulary to preschoolers. To do the study, my team presented new words in the course of a shared book-reading activity.
The intervention succeeded, and children’s understanding of the new words improved between pre and post-testing. But what was most interesting to us was the difference between two groups of children in this study: those whose stories described realistic themes, such as cooking, and those whose stories described fantasy themes, such as dragons. At the start of the study, children knew less about words from the fantasy books, perhaps because these words were somewhat more challenging. But we found that children’s vocabulary was increased over the course of the intervention and, at the post-test, they knew as much about these words as they did about the words from the realistic stories. That is, children gained more knowledge from the fantasy stories than from the realistic ones.
This finding is surprising, since it flies in the face of everything we know about learning. A large body of literature in psychology has shown that the more similar the learning context is to the context where the information is finally going to be applied, the better. This strongly suggests that the realistic books should have helped children learn the meanings of words better. But our study showed exactly the opposite: the fantasy books, the ones that were less similar to reality, allowed children to learn more.
28. What is the long-held view of fantasy literature
A. It is boring. B. It is harmful.
C. It is enjoyable. D. It is necessary.
29. What was the students’ vocabulary like before the test
A. It was hardly related to cooking.
B. A greater part was from realistic stories.
C. Most big words were about fantasy literature.
D. It was equally divided between reality and fantasy.
30. What is the finding of the study
A. Fantasy literature inspires kids to learn more actively.
B. Fantasy literature is being given too much importance.
C. Fantasy literature is reaching a stage of full development.
D. Fantasy literature contains more information than realistic literature.
31. In what way did the author carry out the study
A. By asking kids to write short stories.
B. By analyzing previous studies.
C. By interviewing students.
D. By making comparisons.
D
The soup of talent that covers the planet makes our world function beautifully. From athletes, to writers, and so many more, people make the world go around. However, many of us don’t have jobs that are aligned with (与……一致) our values and qualities. It’s up to us to make changes, experimenting until we find a role that makes us feel alive, discovering that job which makes us tap-dance out of bed to work. To do that, it’s worth asking ourselves periodically: How can I best serve human beings around the world with my unique talents and strengths
Most of us don’t ask the question because we’ve been thinking that ‘work’ is a burden (负担). Yes, all work will be tiring and challenging at times, but beneath that, it can be enthralling if we do it right. It can fill our lives with purpose, meaning, and joy, and for many it does.
Through our work, we are telling other people who we are. Finding work in which we can lose ourselves is helpful, as we experience the sensation of being transported into a different reality. Something removes the division between work and the rest of our lives, until we can no longer regard them as clearly different.
I think this quote sums up this state perfectly: The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labour and his leisure, his mind and his body ... He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues (追求) his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he’s always doing both.
To become a master in the art of living, and find our calling, we should start with growing our compassion for the people that could benefit from our work. From that state, we’ll create a healthier perspective towards work, and increase the likelihood of satisfying our desires along the way.
32. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1
A. Our work reflects who we are.
B. Our work exists to serve others.
C. It’s beneficial to change work regularly.
D. It’s necessary for a worker to get up early.
33. What does the underlined word “enthralling” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Exactly identical. B. Fairly beautiful.
C. Extremely interesting. D. Highly ambitious.
34. What is the master in the art of living like
A. He prefers a simple life.
B. He goes all out for everything.
C. He pursues perfection in daily life.
D. He balances work and life effectively.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Choosing your life’s work
B. Is work a necessary burden
C. What type of work would suit you
D. Challenging yourself to live the life you want

The father of engineering
Eight hundred years ago, a man in southern Turkey invented an amazing clock. It was more than 23 feet high. At its base was a life-size model elephant. 36 The whole clock came alive: Model birds, dragons, and people started to move.
The clock’s inventor was an engineer named al-Jazari. He lived in Diyarbakir, a city in Turkey. Al-Jazari was probably one of the greatest engineers in history. Some historians call him “the father of modern-day engineering”. We know about al-Jazari mostly from a book that he wrote. 37 They include clocks, hand-washing machines, and pumps (泵) for moving water. His book is an invaluable store of knowledge about early engineering. It is successful because unlike other authors, he minutely describes each detail of his machines and it also has drawings that show how each machine works. 38 One of the most valuable things that he created was a water system for supplying water to various parts of the city.
39 Without his machines with moving parts, we might not have modern-day robots.
40 A full-size working model is in Dubai’s Ibn Battuta Mall. There, every half hour, al-Jazari’s most amazing invention comes to life once again.
Al-Jazari used complex systems to build his machines. The creativity and skill presented in his craft are widely respected today, and he is remembered worldwide as an energetic and gifted engineer.
A. He designed different types of clocks.
B. His clocks were built eight centuries ago.
C. Every half hour, something amazing happened.
D. Many everyday things today still use al-Jazari’s ideas.
E. It describes a number of machines of all shapes and sizes.
F. So it helped many future engineers enjoy the benefits of his skill.
G. Today, it is still possible to see what al-Jazari’s elephant clock looked like.

Ever try to get your children to wear bike helmets They cry, “Johnny and Sara said helmets are for nerds (书呆子)!” And you respond, “I don’t care what Johnny and Sara say. You’ll do as I say!” This tactic (手段) usually fails, of course. It didn’t work when your parents said that to you, did it
Today, wearing a helmet is vital to your child’s safety. Each year, bike-related accidents injure about 350, 000 children age 14 and under. Many suffer head injuries; bike helmets can reduce the risk of head injuries by 85 percent. Yet, peer pressure (同伴压力) can be a safety risk for children. Experts say children begin to care more about their friends’ opinions than their parents’ as early as the second grade. A child may refuse to wear a helmet if friends don’t, or if they think wearing a bike helmet is not “cool.”
How can a safety-conscious ( 有安全意识的) parent deal with this kind of peer pressure The National SAFE KIDS Campaign provides some suggestions for parents. You can encourage helmet use before “being cool” matters. Some experts suggest putting helmets on children when they begin riding tricycles. If children get used to wearing helmets before age seven, they may find them more acceptable later. It is also important for you to set a good example. The example of parents strongly influences children. You can set a household rule that applies to everyone: If you ride a bicycle, you wear a helmet. In addition, you can promote bicycle helmet use among other parents. Educate other parents about how helmets can reduce the risk of head injuries. This will reduce peer pressure by making rules consistent from household to household.
Every time your children ride a bicycle, ask them to wear helmets, even if it is a five-minute ride. It is your responsibility as a parent. Take a stand when peer pressure is working against you. Be firm. Make it clear that if your children do not wear helmets, they cannot ride their bicycles.

Dear Lucy,
I’m glad to receive your e-mail and I’d like to tell you about my role model. He is Yuan Longping, a Chinese agricultural scientist, known for developing the first hybrid rice varieties in the 1970s. His rice has since been grown not only in China but in many other countries. In the course of his decades-long research, he encountered lots of hardships but he never gave up. The great scientist is the guiding light in my life. I hope to live my life in a similar way.
Yours,

63. followed。考查一般过去时。设空处在that引导的定语从句中作谓语，再根据后面的continued可知用一般过去时，故填followed。
64. how。考查疑问词。根据句意可知，设空处所在句意为“他说无论生活多么艰难，一个人也需要保持高水平的技艺，”故填how。
65. decades。考查名词复数。decade是可数名词，在本句中表示泛指，且前面没有冠词，故填decades。
