三、阅读理解
A
Hollywood is a neighbourhood in Los Angeles，California. It used to be the historical centre of movie studios and movie stars. And the word "Hollywood" is often used as a metonymy(转喻)of American cinema, But these are only memories. Hollywood isn't quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas.
Hollywood is facing big challenges! The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers will go out to see the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. Older people mostly stay at home to watch drama series，like Dynasty. These "soap operas"，as they are called，show rich，powerful families living in beautiful houses and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and the actresses are nearly middle-aged.
Though soap operas keep the movie-makers of Hollywood in business，big movies are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new centre, and there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don't need Hollywood any more. They use modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower cost.
1. The second paragraph mainly tells us about .
A. actors and actresses at all ages B. soap operas
C. what teenagers like D. Hollywood's challenges
2. is one of the most important film centres in America now.
A. New York B. Hollywood C. Florida D. Texas
3. Now movie-makers use instead of expensively made copies in a studio.

4 . The rest title for this passage is " ".
A.Movies Americans like B. Hollywood is facing big challenges
C. American new movie industry D. Film industries in America

There have been many great inventions, things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today-the wheel (轮子). This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.
For hundreds of years after that, there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn't have to explore (探索) much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.
In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.
The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions: the helicopter (直升飞机)in 1909, movies with sound in 1926, the computer in 1928, and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon (尼龙) came in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.
By this time most people had a very good life. Man has a desire to explore again. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space.
In 1969 man took his biggest step from the earth to the moon. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just the beginning. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.
1. This passage talks mainly about _______
A. why cars were very important B. when light was invented
C. which country made the first step into space D. how inventions affect people's life
2. Nylon came out nearly at the same time as _______.
A. radio B. camera C. jet planes D. movies
3. Which of the statements is not true?
A. The wheel was the first great invention that is still very important today. For hundreds of years after that, there were many other inventions having as much effect as the wheel.
B. America, Russia, Japan and China began to explore the space before 1969.
C. In the early 1800s people began to work instead of exploring more unknown land to make life better.
D. New invention will change our life greatly in the future.
4. What does the underlined word "a desire" mean in Paragraph 5?
A. a good way B. a new invention
C. a strong wish D. a wonderful idea
5. Man didn't have a desire to explore a lot_______.

Frederick M. Hess is the director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute. He says that a long summer vacation is meaningless in today’s world.
Can American students afford to take a summer vacation? In a summer vacation, millions of kids spend valuable time sending messages, watching TV, playing video games and doing shopping in the mall. They will also be putting their academic(学业的) futures at risk.
Summer vacation once made sense in the past when you didn’t need an education to get a good job. But now things have changed. For today’s students, academic skills are important to students’ future success, but such skills are influenced in the summertime. Many nations don’t give kids an American-style summer vacation. They offer no more than seven consecutive(连续的) weeks of vacation. Most American school offer up to thirteen weeks. To take part in the competition in the global marketplace, Americans must be prepared to go up against international competitors.
Summer vacation also causes challenges for today’s families. In the 1960s, more than 60% of families had a stay-at-home Mom. Now two-thirds of American children live in families where every adult works. For these families, summer vacation can be a burden(负担). Someone must watch the kids.
But the biggest problem may be how summer vacation hurts academic achievement. Researchers have found that disadvantaged students lose basic ground in the summertime.
A longer school year does not have to cause hard boring work. Instead, it should allow time-pressed teachers to have richer and more imaginative lessons. Schools would have more time to devote to sports, languages, music and the arts. Summer vacation can be a great thing. But in the 21st century, it may also be out of date.
