On Nov 9, the 23rd Bond movie, Skyfall, celebrated the legends 50th birthday.Over the years, audiences have changed. It doesnt matter. Six different actors have acted 007 and it doesnt matter. Even shocking technological and cultural changes cant bend Bond. Why? Is it the action, the sexy women, the cars, the gadgets and the exotic locations? Yes, but the most important reason is still the man himself. Bond can challenge his boss and shoot a bad guy in mere minutes. He is an expert in literature, languages, art and fine wines. He has a sharp tongue besides his wits. In the first film Dr. No, as Connery lit a cigarette, we heard James Bonds voice and saw his caf for the first time. The simple scene and short phrase have defined the character for half a century.“Next to the Beatles and Stones, James Bond was the greatest British import of the 1960s,” David Kamp, a US contributing editor for Vanity Fair, wrote in a recent article about the birth of Bond and its influence on the US.The Bond phenomenon has clearly affected movie culture, pop culture and spy culture. But perhaps the most amazing thing is that 007 has survived in the age of feminism. “Talking of objectifying women, Bond is essential Huge Henfner (founder of Playboy magazine) with a gun,” movie critic Xan Brooks told The Guardian. “But women liked Bond, too.

The machines have names like Space Warrior, Dark Invader and so on. It used to be believed that damage was done only to those strange visitors from outer space, but now it seems that they are striking back. Many teenagers like electronic games so much that they cant stop playing. They spend hours holding the joystick controls（操纵杆）and pressing buttons marked “fire”. These actions develop pains in their fingers because of the constant pressure. They play and play so the pains have no chance to be cured properly. The players have to move their wrists quickly in order to guide the spaceship across the screen, and this causes another problem: The muscles of the wrist and arm bee so swollen that they press against the bones. This condition is what doctors now call “Space Warriors Wrist.”Other strange aches and pains are also likely to affect the elbows and shoulders. Another even more serious problem is shown by the case of a 17-year-old girl which was recently reported in the British Medical Journal. She had been playing various kinds of electronic games for more than two hours a day. Her father repaired games and machines and she could use the systems in his workshop as often as she liked. One day, after playing a game called Dark Invader, she lost consciousness and fell to the floor. Doctors found that she was suffering from an unusual illness caused by frequent lights flashing. Such cases are not rare but havent attracted enough attention from parents. Scientists warn that there may be worse symptoms resulting from these flashing lights. Therefore, the government and the school should take effective measures to teach these addicted children to protect themselves. 31. Electronic games are found very popular with _.

You can do it at the Bamboo Bike Studio in New York City. The people who work at the studio teach customers how to build their own bikes from bamboo. “ Our goal is to create the opportunities for people to get the perfect bike, the one they build themselves, “ says Marty Odlin, one of the studios owners, “Bamboo is very user-friendly. Theres no way a non-expert could build a steel bike in a weekend. But with bamboo, its possible.The Bamboo Bike Studio is also helping set up factories in Ghana, a country in West Africa. The factories will produce inexpensive bamboo bikes on a large scale. If this project is successful, it might mean new jobs and inexpensive transportation for the people of that country. Bamboo bikes are a natural fit in Ghana because bamboo grows abundantly throughout the country. It is a grass, not a tree, and it is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world. It can grow up to 40 inches in a single day. Bamboo has qualities that make it as good as steel for building a durable(耐用的), fortable vehicle. It contains a large amount of SiO2, a hard pound (化合物) that is the most abundant building block of rocks on Earth. A bamboo bike, says Odlin, is “the perfect everyday bike.”In Ghana, bikes are in high demand. Few people have enough money to afford a car. So bikes are used to transport most of the countrys food and material goods.The people of Ghana are also too poor to finance the construction of factories that build traditional steel bikes. But mass-producing bicycles from locally grown bamboo is a workable alternative, says Odlin. He plans to show teams of Ghanian workers how to quickly assemble bamboo bikes. He estimates each worker will be able to produce about four bikes a day.36. What is the aim of the Bamboo Bike Studio? A. Protecting the environment. B. Helping developing countries. C. Reducing the pressure of traffic. D. Helping people to get perfect bikes.37. Which of the following words best describes the work of the Bamboo Bike Studio in Ghana? A. Experimental B. Dangerous C. Successful D. Difficult38. Bamboo is suitable for building bikes mainly because_.A. it is a grass B. it grows fast C. it is strong D. it is user-friendly39. The underlined word “assemble” in the last paragraph can best be replaced by “_”.A. rideB. buildC. buyD. choose40. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Life without steel B. Bamboo Bike StudioC. New uses of bamboo D. A natural fitDIts easy to be a bit jealous of Sean Andersons adventures even if he is a fictional character in a movie.We first saw Anderson explore the depths of our planet in the xx hit movie Journey to the Center of the Earth. The 17-year-old returned in Journey 2: The Mysterious Island on February 10. The film is based on French writer Jules Vernes fantasy novel，The Mysterious Island，but it also uses elements from Treasure Island，Gullivers Travels and 20，000 Leagues Under the Sea.It begins when Sean receives a distress signal from a mysterious island where no island should exist. Seans stepfather，Hank，is unable to stop his stepson from setting out on a voyage to discover the island，and so joins him instead. Together with Gabato，the only helicopter pilot willing to risk the trip，and Gabatos beautiful，strong-willed daughter Kailani，they set out to find the island，rescue its lone human inhabitant and escape before a huge earthquake forces the island underwater and buries its treasures forever.The movie was filmed on the Hawaiian island of Oahu，also the location of the hit TV drama Lost. The islands jungles and beautiful mountains grow up out of the screen thanks to the movies 3D technology.The island setting is key to many works about mystery and adventure，such as Utopia，Robinson Crusoe，Lord of the Flies，and Shakespeares play about a magical island，The Tempest. Guardian writer David Cox believes that islands enjoy a special place in the human imagination. Unlike deserts or forests，islands have boundaries. “This makes them theaters in which alternative worlds，paradises or hells，can readily take the stage，” Cox writes. According to Cox，islands may seem different，but “they have the same obvious but distinct features of isolation”.Life forms evolve on islands and may adapt to their islands specific conditions. In Journey 2，the hero rides a giant bee. However，according to Cox，human character is also forced to evolve in many stories about islands. Cox argues that islands provide distance from familiar ways of thinking and invite or require us to rethink who we are and how we behave. They enable us “to know ourselves as distinct from those around us，and，in so doing，forge a more close relationship with the world”，Cox writes.41. According to the passage，the movie The Mysterious Island is _. A. about a boy exploring the depths of the Earth B. adapted from Jules Vernes fantasy novel C. filmed in France on February 10，xx D. a true story of Sean Andersons adventures42.

Islands，to some extent，are more mysteries than deserts or forests.44. What does the underlined word “they” (in para.5) refer to? A. islands B. deserts and forests C. movies about adventures D. paradises or hells45. What is Coxs opinion about the movie The Mysterious Island? A. He believes it is certain to be a hit. B.
