Based on the hit mobile game, the puter-animated movie tells us a bird named Red who lives on an island filled with cheerful, flightless birds. Unlike the other birds on the island, Red always seems to be angry, but when a boat full of mysterious green pigs arrives on the island, its up to Red and his friends, Chuck and Bomb, to find out why.When asked, the films producer, John Cohen said working on the film was “an honor”. The producer previously worked on Despicable Me and Hop. Its also a huge responsibility to all of the fans of Angry Birds around the world to make a movie that they will love, he said.The movie is well-known for a star-studded(明星荟萃的) cast of actors who lent their voices to bring the animated characters to life. Jason Sudeikis voices the lead role of Red; Josh Gad, in his first animated movie since playing Olaf, in Frozen, is Chuck; and Bill Hader, the voice of Fear, in Inside Out, plays Leonard the pig.They are some of the funniest people in the world and theyre so good at creating characters and distinctive (有特色的)voices and personalities that make the animated characters e to life. ”The Angry Birds mobile game has been downloaded more than 3 billion times worldwide.

Some people believe that they cant help putting an weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths: Ill never lose weightI e from a fat family Wrong! While we cant change the body type we are born with, we cant blame our genes for making us fat. Theres plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habit of eating too much and exercising too little.I am fat because I burn calories slowlyWrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.Exercise is boringWrong! Anything will bee boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied program thats fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a different route. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge.No pain, no gainWrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is you body telling you somethings wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild disfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is your body adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If they dont, rest and seek medical advice.5.What does the author think about being fat?A.It is the family genes that make people fat.B.People are fat because they consume too little energy.C.A diary of exercise can prevent people from being fat.D.It is the consequence of peoples unbalanced lifestyle.6.According to the author, how can we make exercise more interesting?A.By taking varied exercise.B.By choosing simple exercise.C.By doing regular exercise.D.By sticking to outdoor exercise.7.What is the authors opinion about No pain, no gain in exercising?A.Keeping fit is essentially a painful experience.B.Exercise should be stopped if continuous pain is felt.C.Pain in exercise is a precondition for reaching your goal.D.Getting used to pain leads to positive changes in your body.8.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To declare the importance of keeping fit.B.To clarify some misconceptions about fatness and exercise.C.To confirm what has long been believed about keeping fit.D.To explain some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.CHave you had this experience? You are watching a movie.A man is shooting on the screen.The picture is so real that you think he is shooting at you.Or a car is speeding on the screen and at one point you are afraid that it will hit you. Three-dimensional(3D) movies use special technology to make pictures seem more real and exciting than two-dimensional ones.The popular movie Avatar uses 3D technology. So far we can only see 3D movies in the cinema with a special screen and projector(放映机).But soon, we will be able to watch them in our living rooms.Last month, Woods pany told reporters that it plans to bring 3D televisions to homes in the near future.The pany is also hoping to make other products with 3D, like laptops and PS3(索尼的家用游戏机). “The 3D train is on the track, and we are ready to drive it home,”said the President.3D movies and TV programs are fun to watch, but do you know how they are made? It is much easier to understand if we do an experiment. Hold one of your fingers up at arms length and close one eye.Then try closing the other eye.As you switch between open eyes, you should see your finger “jumping” left and right against the background.This happens because our two eyes are about 4cm away from each other.The separation causes each eye to see the world from a different angle.The brain puts these two views together.What you see bees three-dimensional. 3D movies are made by using two video cameras at the same time, which creates two different images.When the movie plays in a cinema, two projectors put the two images on the screen.With a pair of 3D glasses, the two images are separated and each image only enters one eye.Your brain puts the two pictures back together, and the pictures on the screen bee three-dimensional.9. What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?A.Theyve got a train to take 3D movies back home.B.They are not sure about the future of 3D movies.C.They are ready to bring 3D technology to home.D.They have no more work to do on 3D technology.10.From the passage, we know that 3D technology _.A.creates two different images separatelyB.works in the similar way of eyes seeing thingsC.uses special video cameras and screensD.can be very easy to experiment with11.In which page of a newspaper can you most probably read this passage?A.Science.B.Advertisement.C.News.D.Fiction.DIn the United States, it is important to be on time , or punctual , for an appointment , a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered the difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian(巴西的) university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 A.M. and end at 12. On the first day , when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10:30 A.M. Two students came after 11 A.M. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized(道歉)for their lateness.Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students behavior.The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation:at a lunch with a friend and in a university class, respectively.He gave them an example and asked them how they would react, If they had a lunch appointment with a friend,the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes. In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour.In contrast, in Brazil,neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour.Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States,but also end at the scheduled time.In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12:00;many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions.While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil , neither is staying late.12.The word punctual most probably means_.A.leaving soon after classB.ing earlyC.arriving a few minutes lateD.being on time13.Why did the professor study the Brazilian students behavior?A.He felt puzzled at the students being late.B.He felt angry at the students rudeness.C.He wanted to make the students e on time later.D.He wanted to collect data for one of his studies.14.It can be inferred from the professors study of lateness in the informal situation that _.A.American students will bee impatient if their friend is five minutes lateB.neither Brazilian nor American students like being late in social gatheringsC.being late in one culture may not be considered so rude in another cultureD.Brazilian students will not e thirty-three minutes after the agreed time15.What is the main idea of this passage?A.It is important to be on time for class in the United States.B.The importance of being on time differs among cultures.C.People learn the importance of time only from their own culture.D.Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.二、七选五(共5小题；每小题2分；满分10分）Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month.16_One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 17_ We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing(加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day.18_Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right.19_The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.If Tononis theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a nights, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses bee thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size.20_You keep what matters, Tononi says.A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.B. Its as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.D. The processes take place to stop our brains being loaded with memories.E. Thats why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.F. Sleep is the price we pay for learning,says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.G. Tononis team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.三、完型填空（每题2分）At 10 am, I was sitting in a large hotel. I got to meet my 21_, Tony Hawk.
