6.Our math teacher soon got all of us ________(interest) in math.

7.Although she is far away from home, ________ she calls her parents to express her love to them.21·cn·jy·com

8.“Look before you ________.” means “Think again and again before you act.”

Ⅵ.完形填空
Making a film takes a long time and is very hard work. __1__ the story for the film may take many weeks. Shooting the film often takes __2__ six months. Actors and cameramen work __3__ very early in the morning until late at night. Each scene __4__ and reacted, filmed and refilmed,until it is just __5__.

1.A. To write B.Writing
C.To make D.Making
答案:B 创作故事动词应该用write,不用make,所以有关make的选项C和D都可排除。在选项A、B中,不定式和动名词都可以作主语,所不同的是不定式往往表示一次性的动作,而动名词表示抽象的概念,而本句显然表示的是一般的情况,同时,前一句的主语用了动名词,应选B项。
2.A. many B.at most
C.at least D.few
答案:C 在本题的四个选项中,at least表示“至少”,意味着多;at most表示“至多”,意味着少。又根据上句表达的意思,制作电影费时颇多,故应选at least。many和few不能和具体的数字连用。
3.A. from B.when
C.since D.for
答案:A 本题意思是“从早到晚”,英语中应用from...until...来表示。when引导时间状语从句,since用在完成时态中,for后接一段时间,用在此处均不妥,故A项为正确选项。
4.A. has to act B.has acted
C.has to be acted D.has be acted
答案:C 本句主语是scene,意为“场景、镜头”,主语与谓语act之间的关系是被动关系,即每个镜头都必须一次又一次地表演,据此,应选C项has to be acted。A和B项为主动式,D项表达错误,均应排除。
5.A. really B.right
C.well D.finished
答案:B 根据上句意思,每个镜头必须重复表演直到令人满意为止,在本题的选项中,只有right有“正确”“恰当”之意,符合题意。really虽可作“真正地”解释,但它是副词;C项well也是副词;D项finished解释为“完成的”,完成并不等于拍得令人满意,故A、C、D项均不符合题意。
6.A. must B.can
C.should D.may
答案:D 本题的四个选项都是情态动词,must意为“必须”,can表示能力,should作“应该”解,may表示可能性或推测。从句意来看,是说有时同一个场景要拍多次,这是拍摄过程中存在的一种可能性,不是必然或应该发生的事,故may为正确选项。
7.A. factory B.school
C.hall D.cinema
答案:A 本题要说明电影制片厂的内部结构比较复杂,像一个大工厂。
8.A. is taken B.are taken
C.are made D.is made
答案:D scenery无复数形式,谓语动词应该用单数形式,故可先排除B项和C项,“制作场景”用make,而不用take。21cnjy.com
9.A. from B.of
C.by D.into
答案:B 本句是指这些场景中的东西是由木材和夹板制成的房子、教堂等,故介词应用of。
10.A. Several hundred B.A hundred
C.Several D.All
答案:A 本题是要说明拍摄一部电影所需要的人员数目,几个人或所有人显然不行,所以C项和D项不合实际,这里说明通常的情况,也不会是一个具体的数目a hundred,只能是一个大体数目,所以A项是最合适的答案。【来源:21·世纪·教育·网】
11.A. Few B.None
C.All D.Some
答案:D 本题是要表示拍摄电影的人中,大概有多少演员,选项A和B表示否定意义,显然不妥,C项称全部都是演员,也不符合实际。D项是符合实际的答案。
12.A. different B.important
C.difficult D.hard
答案:B 在所有的人员中导演是中心人物,因而是最重要的,所以B项important是正确选项,其余的选项均不合题意。
13.A. decides B.thinks
C.hopes D.remembers
答案:A 导演的职责是决定一部电影怎样拍,演员怎样表演,据此常识,应选A项decides,即他对一切有决定权,而不是“考虑”、“希望”或“记得”怎么做。
14.A. All B.Few
C.Most D.No
答案:C 本句说明我们为什么去看电影,这是指大多数人而言,故应选择C项Most。选项B和D表达否定意义,若用在此处则不符合事实。A项All指所有的人,太绝对化,于理不通。【版权所有:21教育】
15.A. Some times B.Some time
C.Sometime D.Sometimes
答案:D 选项A中的some times为“几次”,B项some time指一段时间,C项sometime作“某时”解,D项sometimes是“有时”之意。本句要表达的意思是“有时电影可能拍得很糟”,根据此意,只有D项sometimes为正确答案。
16.A. pick B.choose
C.select from D.watch
答案:B 英语中要表示“选择”这个概念,可用choose,select或pick out。而看电影用see,不能用watch。
17.A. was made B.which made
C.made D.having made
答案:C 本题是一个后置定语修饰film,该修饰语与film应为被动关系,所以选项C为正确选项,是过去分词短语作后置定语。选项A为被动语态,不能作定语;选项B若作定语从句,应使用which was made才对;选项D为现在分词的完成式。
18.A. famous B.known
C.old D.young
答案:A 联系第19空,把电影拍得很逼真的往往是著名的导演,用英语表示“著名的”这个概念应是famous或well-known,故应选A项famous,而不能从年老或年轻上来考虑。
19.A. true B.real
C.truly D.really
答案:B 本题考查形容词作宾语补足语,故选项C、D应先予以排除。在true和real之中,real着重于现实,true则与false相对,两者相比,以real为佳。 同时true前面一般不加程度副词修饰。21·世纪*教育网
20.A. of B.between
C.among D.for
答案:C of表示所属关系,for表示目的等,本题的意思是由于电影的真实性,使人们感觉如置身于其中一样,所以A项和D项均不合题意。between表示在两者之间,也不适用,只有among表示在多数人之中,是最佳选项。

1.______ 2.______ 3.______ 4.______ 5.______
6.______ 7.______ 8.______ 9.______ 10.______
答案:
1.sense 考查名词。a sense of表示“……感”。

3.out of 考查介词。根据下文out of fashion可以暗示出用out of。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
A
You need to be of a certain age to understand why so many people in Hollywood are caring about the possible closing down of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (米高梅电影公司). For the past 40 years, its output has been good, but now it is on the ropes, with debts of $ 3.7 billion and will have to sell off its most valuable assets(资产). www-2-1-cnjy-com
In its golden time, MGM stood for something. If Warner Brothers meant social dramas and gangster movies, and Disney meant cartoon films, then MGM was healthy fantasy. This business model found its most glorious expression in its musicals(音乐剧) of the post-war era. It also featured so many famous stars as Fred Astaire, Frank Sinatra,Gene Kelly and Judy Garland.21*cnjy*com
But MGM had always put its hopes on the quality of stars it could attract. From the time MGM became a company in 1924, the studio and his associate proved themselves good at creating big names.21·世纪*教育网
For 35 years, this worked well enough, but the growing power of television disturbed Hollywood. MGM continued to throw money into making gorgeous-looking musicals, but despite some big successes audiences gradually started to drift_away. Throughout the sixties, MGM's decline set in. Things went from bad to worse. In 1973, MGM stopped distributing its own films. Since then, the Lion's roar has been reduced to a whimper(呜咽).
How far MGM has fallen can be shown by its recent releases. This was a studio that for years offered a reliable supply of first-class films. Yet last year its total output was three. To make it worse, all were co-produced with other studios. And this year? Only one so far, and maybe the last.
What now? MGM will probably be sold, though recent buyers have been cautious about a price thought to be around $2 billion.
1.MGM is becoming the focus in Hollywood because it ________.
A.has more supporters
B.has produced good films
C.might be closed down
D. has lost all its assets
答案:C 细节判断题。根据第一段的叙述,MGM快要倒闭了,许多人都关注此事。
2.Which of the following is NOT true of MGM?
A.It was famous for cartoon films.
B.It was successful for its healthy fantasy.
C.Musicals were its main model.
D.It depended too much on stars.
答案:A 细节判断题。根据第二段的叙述,迪斯尼出名的是cartoon films。MGM因healthy fantasy而出名,这种商业模式在二战后的时代曾荣极一时,其旗下汇集了Fred Astaire,Frank Sinatra,Gene Kelly and Judy Garland等大牌明星。由此推断A项错误。
3.The underlined phrase “drift away” in Paragraph 4 most probably means ________.
A.show interest B.go away
C.come along D.go crazy
答案:B 词义猜测题。根据上下文,35年来,MGM曾成功培养了许多大牌明星,但是随着电视的普及,观众数量开始下降。所以go away最恰当。
4.What's the main idea of the text?
A.The past glories of MGM. B.The musicals made by MGM.
C.The decline(衰落)of MGM. D. A historical decision by MGM.
答案:C 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了MGM濒临倒闭,并分析了原因。
B
You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists,but soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead.
Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catching fire,are professionals(专业人员). They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall not on to the hard ground but on to empty cardboard (纸板) boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs,the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!
But although their work depends on tricks of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skills and training. Often a stuntman's success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene,he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff(悬崖)a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed.
In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntwomen too!
5.Stuntmen are those who ________.
A.often dress up as actors
B.prefer to lead dangerous actions
C.often perform seemingly dangerous actions
D.often fight each other for their lives
答案:C 从文中介绍可知,stuntmen是那些表演危险动作的替身。
6.Stuntmen made their living by ________.
A.playing their dirty tricks B.selling their special skills
C.jumping out of high windows D. jumping from fast moving trains
答案:B 从第二、三段可知,替身是一种职业,需要技巧和训练,替身演员以自己表演的技巧来谋生,所以答案为B项。A项dirty不当;C、D项只是替身表演的一部分内容。
7.When a stuntman falls from a high building, ________.
A.he needs little protection B.he will be covered with a mattress
C.his life is dangerous D. his safety is generally all right
答案:D 从第三段后半部分可知,替身也需要很好的保护,可排除A项;替身演员不可能被床垫“覆盖”,是地上铺着床垫,可排除B项;C项本身表达有误;D项符合文意,虽然存在危险,但通常是安全的。【来源:21·世纪·教育·网】
8.Which of the following is the main factor of a successful performance?
A.strength B.exactness
C.speed D.carefulness
答案:B 从第三段看出,替身成功的关键是careful timing,即要“精确准时”。
Ⅵ.语法填空

When the shooting of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was complete,it was much more than a moviewrap-up(结束).21·世纪*教育网
Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley, told TheSunday Times that he's happy to have the time for romance now filming is over. Emma Watson, who is Hermione Granger in the movies, said she looked forward to “finally being free, being my own person” —a change signaled(显示)by her new haircut.【版权所有:21教育】
Daniel Radcliffe, who has been the face of the boy wizard since 2001,said that he “did cry like a little girl” when the last movie finished.
“It's like the ending of a relationship,” he told The Vancouver Sun. “(There's) a sense of ‘God, what am I going to do now?’ ”He said he was eager to see “what life holds for him beyond Hogwarts”.
Along with the three actors, Harry Potter fans, now in their late teens, came of age with J. K. Rowling's characters. For them, the last film isn't just a goodbye to a decade(十年) of magic,but the close of their childhoods.
“We are the Harry Potter generation,” Canadian Andrea Hill, 19, told The Vancouver Sun. “We started in elementary school,reading about a boy our age who was going through the same things we were going through. We grew up,so did he.”
For Emily Chahal, an 18-year-old student, the series has been an inspiring journey. “That first book was what sparked(激发) my love of literature (文学). It was the catalyst(催化剂)for everything—really teaching me to appreciate my friends,and to face difficulties with a sense of courage(勇气),” she said. “I have a sense of grief(伤心). The end of the movies is kind of the end of my childhood, too.”2·1·c·n·j·y
Fortunately, to the delight of die-hard fans, there are many things that keep the boy wizard alive. For example, in June this year, a Harry Potter theme park opened in Florida, the USA. 21·cn·jy·com
Some schools in the USA and the UK also have Quidditch teams—players ride broomsticks(扫帚). “We're not waiting anymore to see what happens to Harry next,” Hill told The Vancouver Sun. She founded a Quidditch club at Carleton University in Canada. “We're still engaged(投入) in that magical world.”
1.How did Emma Watson feel when she finished the shooting of the Harry Potter series?2-1-c-n-j-y
A.She cried like a little girl.
B.She was ready to move onto something new.
C.She was happy to have the time for romance.
D. She felt it was like the end of a relationship.【来源:21·世纪·教育·网】
答案:B 细节判断题。根据第二段最后一句“‘...being my own person’—a change signaled by her new haircut.”可知答案。21cnjy.com
2.What did Daniel Radcliffe mean by saying he was eager to see “what life holds for him beyond Hogwarts” (in Paragraph 4)?21*cnjy*com
A.He was bored with life in Hogwarts.
B.He couldn't wait to graduate from Hogwarts.
C.He missed life in Hogwarts now he had left.
D. He was looking forward to new life out of Hogwarts.21*cnjy*com
答案:D 句意理解题。根据本段内容,丹尼尔·雷德克里夫在拍完了这部电影后,不知道下一步干什么,急切地想知道“what life holds for him beyond Hogwarts”,由此推知,D项解释得最为恰当。
3.The series has brought Emily Chahal all the following EXCEPT ________.
A.the chance to live in a magical world
B.the courage to face difficulties
C.the appreciation of her friends
D. encouragement to love literature
答案:A 细节理解题。根据第七段内容,哈利·波特系列电影“sparked my love of literature”,“teaching me to appreciate my friends,and to face difficulties with a sense of courage”,所以选A项。【来源:21cnj*y.co*m】

Having just seen the superhero movie, KickAss, an interesting question occurred to us: Could we, not superman, lead a superheroic life? I believe we could do it in some easy steps!
Activate(激活) our super powers.
Superheroes are all good at different things. Some are really fast, some can see things others can't, and some can move things with their minds. Also we all have special talents and passions. We just have to know what they are and develop them.
Try this: List several things you're especially good at—we'll say these are your core super powers. Next, write down what makes each of your core super powers special: why it's valuable to you and others. Last, remember your super powers and look for chances to use them and improve them.
Get a sidekick or two.
Superheroes are out there all day, fighting the good fight. And who's there to help? Every superhero has teamed up with someone else to defeat some enemies they couldn't deal with alone.
We need a support team: one or more who can be trusted and will help us when necessary. Our team members should bring different views and all kinds of super powers. But we must choose wisely.
Be brave and bold.
Does it take more courage to venture (冒险) down a dark road or to face a life of no ventures at all? Both can be pretty scary. We should be brave and bold just as some successful person said, “Have the courage to follow your heart. ”
Live the code.
Superheroes die to protect others. They don't cheat, lie or steal. They're good role models, and they do the right things even when nobody is watching.
Though nobody's perfect, yet we should learn from superheroes and struggle not to disobey the superhero code. Turn a friend down who trusts me? Of course I won't.
文章大意:你想成为一名英雄吗?那么,你得像英雄一样地生活。
5.What is the passage mainly about?
A.How we can become a superhero. B.What a superhero should be like.
C.How we can live like a superhero. D. Why we should learn from a superhero.
答案:C 主旨大意题。文章第一段借电影KickAss引出了如何像英雄一样生活这一话题,接下来的内容介绍了要想英雄般地生活,我们在个人品质及性情上应该遵循的四条规则。
6.One of the similarities between superheroes and human beings is that both of them ________.
A.are very clever and helpful B.have their own strong points
C.try to remove their own weak points D. know how to be clever and brave
答案:B 细节理解题。根据“Activate(激活)our superpowers.”这一小标题下的第一段第二、三句可推断,超人与普通人的共性之一就是双方都有自己的强项,故选B项。
7.The underlined word “sidekick” in the passage refers to a person who________.
A.tries to watch you all the time B.is much cleverer than you
C.has super powers to fight you D. is ready to help you anytime
答案:D 词义猜测题。根据该词所在小标题下面的两段中出现的help及team等可知,该词是指“助手”,即可以帮助自己的人。
8.What is the superhero code?
A.To live nobly.
B.To be willing to lose everything for others.
C.To try to be a perfect person.
D. To satisfy the needs of the friends you trust.
答案:A 推理判断题。根据最后两段可推断,the superhero code指“不偷、不抢、不说谎、严以律己”,即L高尚做人。21教育名师原创作品
