His love for the ocean grew after he made the 1989 undersea adventure film The Abyss and the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, one of the most successful movies of all time. Following that big success, James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to bee an explorer.In xx, James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench, known as Challenger Deep. And now the great journey has been made into a documentary film, named James Camerons Deep-sea Challenger 3D.In James Camerons fantasy films, such as Avatar and The Abyss, the unexplored areas are decorated in colors and full of danger. But on his dive into Challenger Deep, the reality proved far different: white, deserted and dull.“I felt like I had gone to another planet,” Cameron said after returning from the cold and dark place in the Western Pacific Ocean, nearly 7 miles below the surface. “I really have a sense of being separated and realize how tiny I am down in this big, black and unexplored place.”Cameron captured(获取) the moon-like landscape of the deep sea and documented(记录) the sea creatures he observed in the ocean.James Camerons Deep-sea Challenger 3D tells the story of Camerons journey. It is a film about determination, danger and the oceans greatest depths. The movie shows a unique insight into Camerons world when he makes his dream reality and makes history by being the first person to travel alone to the deepest point on the planet. Its an exciting film and inspiring reminder that our beautiful planet still has a lot to explore.21When did James Cameron really startedexploringthe sea?A. When he was in his childhood.B. After his films The Abyss and Titanic.C. Before he achieved great success in movies.D. After he made the 1989 undersea adventure.22What does the underlined phrase probably mean?A. Putting his film career away for the moment.B. Firmly holding on to his film career.C. Giving up his film career forever.D. Never taking up his film career again.23James Camerons Deep-sea Challenger 3D is _A. a film about scientists exploration of the deep ocean.B. a story about the colorful deep ocean and creatures.C. a 3D film about Camerons own experience to the deep ocean.D. a film that stars some famous actors and actresses.24Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. The great dream of anundersea film actorB. A film star exploring deep seaC. The first person to make films about the deep seaD. Cameron and his documentary filmBAs parents we all tell our children little white lies to make life easier. Some of my regular clevertricks are that nursery（托儿所） has called to see where Minnie is, when we are running late and shes refusing to get dressed. That a man es to lock up the park whenshe wont get off the wings. And, in extreme circumstances when Minnie wont stop screaming, that our neighbors, John and Roz, may call the police because of the noise.But I am beginning to regret my story about the “pluggle monster”. Ive known about him ever since I went to stay at my schoolmate Alisons house years ago, and her younger brother wouldnt get out of the bath. The mere mention of the pluggle monster had him leaping out like an obedient lamb. All you have to do, you see, is pull out the plug and he starts gurgling immediately-he sounds pretty real. Funnily enough, Alisons brother is now a pop star but I dont doubt hell thank me for revealing his name, so I will be discreet(慎重)！Anyway, the pluggle monster has e to my rescue many times when Minnie has refused to take leave of the tub. But, now that her imagination is blooming, she seems to have bee addictedto him. Similarly, the “Sandman”（童话中能使儿童入睡的睡魔） who I mentioned in a passing ment a few weeks ago when she had some sleep in her eyes, and bed bugs (from the seemingly harmless phrases, “Good night and dont let the bed bugs bite!”)Ive now told her that all of these things are pretend, just stories, but she still likes to talk about them. And now I dont think she believes me that they are not real. What a pickle!25. WhenMinniewas goingtobelate for nurseryanddidnt want to get up in the morning, the author would say_A. the bug would bite.B. the Sandman was ing.C. Thenursery had made a phone call.D. the neighbor would call the police.26. Many parents tell white lies to their children when children _A. wont do as required.B. do exactly what they are told.C. want to do something important.D. want to hear an interesting story.27. What is the writers attitude toward the white lies she told?A. Very positive.B. A bit regretful.C. Kind of indifferent.D. Totallynegative. CAlthough it is chilly outside in winter, we have heating systems to keep us warm indoors in most parts of North China, and in South China, they at least have air conditioners or electric radiators. But how did ancient people in China keep warm without these modern appliances?During the Qin (221-206 BC) and Han (206 BC-220) dynasties, temperature adjustable rooms emerged in royal families.It is said that the temperature adjustable hall was built with pepper mash daubed on the wall, embroidery tapestries hung on the wall and a thick blanket paved on the ground. Windshield screens and wild goose feather-made curtains were also used to keep cool air outside.During the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1912）dynasties, a ground heating system was used indoors, which was built by concreting circular flue underground. The charcoal fire smoke would flow through channels to the whole room and raise the temperature indoors. The ground heating system wasnt invented by Ming and Qing dynasty people. It emerged as early as Wei and Jin dynasties (AD 220-420). The historical record shows that the northeast part of China had used fire pits to keep warm during that time, which functioned similarly as a ground heating.Censer was often used for heat during ancient times, which was made of two parts: the bottom was a basin and the top was a hollow cover made with flower patterns. Putting coal inside, censers were used as warmers and made into different sizes for hands and feet. Song Dynasty poet Su Shi had mentioned a kind of cloth resembling a wind coat similar to todays coats in his poem. With the weather getting colder, silk floss or cotton wool was put inside clothes to make them warmer but was still light.Ancient people were smart in adapting to the environment and had solutions for the chilly winter. In addition to all their equipment, they also drank wine to keep warm, just like modern people in North China.28. Why things like heating systems and air conditioners are mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To attract readers attention. B. To make the passage interesting C. To introduce the topic to talk about. D. To tell readers how people keep cool.29. Which of the following is CORRECT according to the passage? A. Peopleinventedground heating system in MingandQing dynasties. B. Ancient people also drank wine to keep warm like modern people in the South. C. Song Dynasty poet Su Shi ever mentioned censers as a way of keeping warm. D. Ancient people were clever enough to find ways to fight cold weather.30. This passage is mainly about_ A. how ancient people in the world keep warm in winter. B. different ways people used to deal with cold in ancient China. C. how the ground heating system in the Ming and Qing dynasties worked. D. how people put materials like silk floss and cotton wool to keep warm.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读以下短文，选择合适的选项填入空格处，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。选项中有两项是多余选项。 _31_.

He believed that there would definitely be someone special out there for him, but none came.Every year at Christmas, his ex-girlfriend（前女友） would return from Vancouver to look him up. He was aware that she still held some hope of restarting the past romance with him. He did not wish to mislead her in any way. So he would always get one of his girl friends to pretend to be his real girl friend whenever she came back.That went on for several years and each year, the guy would get a different girl to pretendto be his romantic interest. So whenever the ex-girlfriend came to visit him, she would be led into believing that it was all over between her and the guy.The girl took all those rather well, often trying to casually tease him about his different girl friends, or so, as it seemed! In fact, the girl often wept in secret whenever she saw him with another girl, but she was too proud to admit it. Finally she decided that she could not play that game any longer. Therefore, she faced him bravely and admitted that after all those years, he was still the only man that she had ever loved. Although the guy knew of her feelings for him, he was still a little shocked and had never expected her to love him all the same. Although he was touched by her undying love for him and wanted so much to accept her again, he remembered he rejected b
