Ⅰ.阅读理解
Today we travel to film festivals around the world to learn about their different histories and goals.Some of the festivals are major competitions，while others are smaller events to help draw attention to more experimental movies.
One of the most famous film festivals in the world takes place in the French town of Cannes during 20 days in May.The Cannes Film Festival started in 1946 as a social gathering for showing movies.Later, the popular event developed into an important competition.
Visitors to the festival see short films and films which don't compete for awards.But the Cannes Film Festival is more than about honoring special movies and seeing famous actors.Each year, more than 1,000 people from almost 100 countries gather to watch about 900 movies.This helps link people from all areas of the movie industry.Also, it helps film-makers sell their movies to distributors(发行人)so they can be shown in theaters around the world.
Another famous one is the Venice International Film Festival in late August.Started in 1932, it's one of the oldest movie festivals in the world.
Many film festivals have very specialized(专门的) subjects.In Belgium you can go to the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival.For 26 years this festival has been showing science fiction and horror movies from around the world.If this event seems too frightening，you can attend the International Children's Film Festival in Frankfurt，Germany.In Turkey, the International Istanbul Film Festival shows movies about art, music, dance or literature.
On any given day, a film festival is probably taking place somewhere around the world.Here we've only discussed a small number of them.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
“Now stretch (伸展) over your right leg！” my dance teacher yells over the music.“If it doesn't hurt, you're not trying hard enough.Hold that stretch for 30 seconds！” My dance teacher works hard to form us into the dancers we desire to be.In order for this to occur, we stretch hard a lot!
Dancing is a real passion of many people, including me.I work hard to make myself better, and prove that I am good enough.Performing a dance routine is more than just a performance.Dancers tell stories when they dance.It is a way for us to express our personal feelings.Just letting go and letting your body move with the music can create your emotions.Dance tells us things that our mind secretly hides.
“Get up and do it again! You need to keep your spirits up！” Even though I am completely worn out after my dances, I love to hear those words.It gives me a sense of relief knowing that I can again express my feelings out on the floor.
“Practice makes perfect! Come on.We have a competition this weekend, and we need to work harder！”Competitions are the best possible example of fun.For a dancer, life cannot get better than competitions.The thrill of losing yourself onstage is a rush of energy rushing through your body! The feeling is unexplainable.As you sit there putting on your makeup, fixing your hair, and putting on your costume, the rush just gradually grows until it is ready to be released onstage.
Finally the time comes to tell your story.Standing backstage waiting for your name to be called is one of the scariest moments.You are ready to show the world what you are capable of and what you have been perfecting for a while.Once your number is called, you walk out onstage.The applause at the end tells each dancer that their story has been received, and that the dance has been brought to life.

Online education is becoming a popular learning choice to traditional colleges.Most colleges offer online programs in various fields and levels，which allows students to go on with their education over the Internet.Students must keep in mind that the college they wish to go to must be approved by a related recognized organization.
So who can really benefit from an online program? Well，anybody，and everybody! Online programs can turn out to be a pocket friendly alternative to a traditional college for many people.Here's a list of people who usually consider joining in an online degree program：
·Stay-at-home parents.Online education is the perfect choice for stay-at-home parents and those who have very young kids.Online classes give them the flexibility to complete or further their education while looking after home and family without worrying about childcare.
·Working professionals who want to further their education but travel a lot or have extremely busy schedules，as well as those who want to make a career change but do not have the time to enroll in a full-time degree program.
· People who cannot commute (通勤) to a college.
·Shy students who might feel embarrassed among a group of people and prefer to study by themselves and at their own pace.
·People who want to save money.Online programs can turn out to be more cost-effective than attending a physical classroom.
·People who do not get distracted easily — something many people overlook when considering online education.If you are someone who can easily ignore the ringing of a phone，stay away from TV，and stay unaffected by all other things that may draw your attention，online programs are for you.
So do you think online education is for you? If you feel you belong to any of the above listed categories，then online education could work out very well for you.

B．She should learn more to teach her baby.
C．She may save much money for further education.

B．Mrs Clark，a housewife who is hoping to overcome her shyness.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Several times my daughter had telephoned to say，“ Mum，you must come and see the daffodils (水仙花) before they are over.”I wanted to go，but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead.“I will go next Tuesday，” I promised，a little unwillingly，on her third call.
The next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy.Still，I had promised，and so I drove there.When I finally walked into Carolyn's house and hugged and greeted my grandchildren，I said，“Forget the daffodils，Carolyn！The road is invisible (看不见的)in the cloud and fog，and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see！”
My daughter smiled calmly and said，“We drive in this weather all the time，Mum.You will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience.”
After about twenty minutes，we turned onto a small road and I saw a small church.On the far side of the church，I saw a hand-lettered sign that read “Daffodil Garden”．
We got out of the car and each took a child's hand，and I followed Carolyn down the path.As we turned a corner of the path，I looked up and gasped(倒抽气)．Before me lay the most beautiful sight.There were five acres of flowers！“ But who has done this？” I asked Carolyn.“It's just one woman，” Carolyn answered.“That's her home，” Carolyn pointed to a well-kept A-frame house that looked small and modest in the midst of all that glory.We walked up to the house.On the wall，we saw a poster.“Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking” was the headline.
The first answer was a simple one.“50,000 bulbs (鳞茎)” it read.The second answer was，“One at a time，by one woman.” The third answer was，“Began in 1958.”
I thought of this woman whom I had never met，who，more than fifty years before，had began—one bulb at a time—to bring the beauty and joy to the mountain top.
[语篇导读] 一个女人在五十多年前开始种植水仙花。她一次种植一棵，现在她的五英亩的花园里有五万棵水仙花，构成一幅令人陶醉的图画。

A．it was not easy for her to drive there

C．she was not interested in them

A．Delighted. B．Surprised.
C．Suspicious. D．Appreciative.
解析：B [推理判断题。根据第五段的第二句”As we turned a corner of the path，I looked up and gasped(倒抽气)．”可知，作者看到五英亩的水仙花非常吃惊。]

A．She must be out of mind.
B．She acted as a gardener there.
C．She had been making her living by selling daffodils.
D．It took her great determination to grow the daffodils.
解析：D [推理判断题。根据文章的倒数第二段可知，一个女人，自1958年以来，每次只种植一棵花茎，现在她已在山顶种了五万棵水仙花。由此可以推断：在种植水仙花的过程中，这个女人下了很大决心，付出了很多辛勤的汗水。]
4．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．An Unforgettable Experience.
B．Beautiful Daffodils.
C．One Bulb at a Time.
D．I Love Daffodils.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
George Gershwin, born in 1898, was one of America's greatest composers.He published his first song when he was eighteen years old.During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.
Many of Gershwin's songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City.These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s.Many of his songs have remained popular as ever.Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way－from jazz to country.
In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music.Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music.Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it.And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue.Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert.The audience were thrilled when they heard his music.It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.
In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris.He applied to study composition with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him.She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style.While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris.When it was first performed, critics were divided over the music.Some called it happy and full of life while to others it was stilly and boring.But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States.It remains one of his most famous works.
George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer.He was only thirty-nine years old.Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages.People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.
