A
A junior at Loyola High School in Los Angeles, Adam Faze, 16, decided in October to organize a film festival. "I want to go to film school and work in the industry, but Loyola has nothing like that, which is strange because we're right here in LA(a part of the city is Hollywood where films are made)," he said. "So instead of sitting around and feeling unhappy, I decided to do something."
The school was unenthusiastic. "Every year, students approach me with many projects that are really difficult to carry out," said Lance Ochsner, Adam's adviser." I thought it wouldn't happen, but I gave him the go-ahead anyway."
Adam sent letters and made cold calls, and got no response. By January, he had little more than a single participant: Jordan Roberts, the father of a friend and a writer-director. (Mr. Roberts had agreed to serve as a festival judge.)
Then Adam looked through a catalog for Loyola's annual money-raising event and noticed that someone had donated(捐赠)two tickets to a Sony movie premiere (the first public performance of a movie). That person turned out to be an Oscar campaigner. By working the connection, he managed to line up a festival speaker: Michael De Luca, a three-time Oscar nominee(someone who has been officially suggested for the prize of Oscar) for producing films like "The Social Network".
"Adam's energy, enthusiasm and fearlessness are infectious," Mr. De Luca wrote in an email. "I wish I had done this at my high school!" Adam got a local newspaper to write an article about Mr. De Luca's involvement, and that started a sponsorship and submission(赞助和作品提交)wildfire.
The Loyola Film Festival is set for Saturday and advertised as "the best in student filmmaking". It will feature 72 films in four categories.
But Adam is already focused on his next plan. In an email to a reporter, he wrote, "Could you mention that I'm still looking for a summer internship(实习)?"
1. Adam hoped that his high school could
A. make some new films
B. get involved in film activities
C. encourage students to watch films
D. allow students to enter film festivals
2. What was Lance Ochsner's attitude towards Adam's plan?
A. Curious. B. Surprised. C. Doubtful. D. Satisfied.
3. How did Adam know of Michael De Luca?
A. From a letter.
B. From a telephone call.
C. From the father of a friend.
D. From a donation list of Loyola's.
4. What is the text mainly about?
A. How a teen organized a film festival.
B. Why the Loyola Film Festival is held.
C. A special high school in Los Angeles.
D. The personal life of a 16-year-old teen.
B
Growing up, "family" meant something very different to Bianca Jones Marlin. Her biological parents provided attendance to multiple children, giving Marlin the joy of having many brothers and sisters from different backgrounds. On occasions, she would stay up late listening to the stories from their past homes-stories filled with suffering and sadness. These stories had a lasting impact on Marlin. "There were stories of abuse, of not getting the proper nutrition or proper care that a child would need," Marlin says. "Taking my passion for science and what I've learned from the stories, and putting them together is what I really want to do."
Today as a neurobiologist, Marlin researches how suffering can be passed down from generation to generation. At Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute, she studies the molecular mechanisms of stresses in parents that can affect the brain structure and sensory experiences of their future generations.
Marlin's investigations examine a process known as epigenetic inheritance, in which biochemical markers acquired from experiences or environmental conditions can change how our genes are expressed inside of cells. In the case of the mice she works with, Marlin creates a stressful association with a particular smell, which in turn increases the number of olfactory cells inside the mice's brains used to detect that specific smell. She then looks at whether or not the children are born with more of these olfactory cells as a result of their parent's suffering. If that proves to be true, Marlin plans to find and potentially even affect the epigenetic switches responsible for changing the children's biology or behavior-eventually improving the outcomes for the children.
"The passion of my work stems from my desire to apply neurobiology and the science of learning to understanding how both positive and negative experiences in life influence brain health." says Marlin.
5. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A. Marlin's interest in science.
B. Marlin's suffering in children.
C. The influence of the stories on Marlin.
D. The brief introduction to Marlin's family.
6. What is the function of olfactory cells?
A. To sense specific stress.
B. To lessen the mice's suffering.
C. To change epigenetic inheritance.
D. To discover some particular smell.
7. What can be learned from Paragraph 3?
A. Olfactory cells decrease in the mice in the test.
B. Marlin has improved the outcomes for the children.
C. Biochemical markers are likely to change gene expression.
D. Parents' suffering can't be passed down to their children.
8. Where is the text probably from?
A. A science magazine. B. A travel journal.
C. An exhibition guidebook. D. A literature review.

Anger is the most destructive emotion. It will destroy all your good intentions. (1) ______ They will fail to achieve more often than those who are pleasant, calm, and relaxed. What can be done to prevent anger from ruining our lives? Here are several ways that you can treat anger.
( 2) ______ You have to accept that sometimes things do go wrong, and that people are not always lovely. Realizing that no one is perfect is a good start to avoiding getting angry. Also, you need to accept that not everyone has the same standard as you, nor will they behave in the same way that you would do in a given situation.(3) ______
Stop trying to manage your anger. Anger management used to be promoted as a way of dealing with anger, but all that happens is that the anger is suppressed.(4) ______ Once you know why you get mad, then it is possible to deal with the cause. Taking positive steps towards solving the underlying problem will help you overcome feelings of anger.
Don't take the easy way when you get angry. We all get tempted to throw something, hit something (or even someone), or scream when we are angry. You might say you feel better after an angry outburst, but that is just the after-effect of the adrenalin(肾上腺素).(5) ______ It is much harder to stay calm, to walk away from conflict, or to take a deep breath and act normally. That, however, is what you must do if you are to stop anger from becoming your master.
A. A reaction like that is the easy way.
B. Angry people are hard to be successful.
C. Change your attitude to the way the world works.
D. Recognize that anger is something you can control.
E. Often anger is partnered by other destructive emotions.
F. This applies to work, day-to-day life, and relationships.
G. A much better way of facing up to anger is to find out the root cause.

8. varies. 考查动词单三形式。句意:就像口语一样,肢体语言也随着环境而变化。分析句意可知横线处为动词作谓语,body language做主语,谓语动词要用单三形式,故填varies。
9. making. 考查动名词。句意:例如,眼神交流--看着某人的眼睛--在一些国家是表达兴趣的一种方式。分析句意可知横线处为动名词做主语,故填making。
