Please feel free to add to the list. Some fantasy readers are unhappy with their lives and think that they would be happier in another world. Someone who is not so successful in this world might be a hero or king in another world. LucyI like reading fantasy books because they provide me with a different point of view on the world. I like to think about it using the analogy (类比) of the house that you live in but will never be able to understand if you dont ever get outside and look at it from another perspective (视角). MartinYou can see a lot of tiny details in fantasy books that you may somehow lose in your everyday life just because they arent getting enough of your attention. Understand them and theyll make your life more colourful and interesting. JordanA lot of fantasy is about the world we would like to see. Fantasy novels are extremely popular, but most popular with children. This is probably due to the natural curiosity and creative imagination inherent (固有的) in nearly every young person. Older readers might enjoy fantasy because of its imaginative scope. People can relate to the feelings and experiences of fantasy characters. AhmedI like reading fantasy because I have a great imagination which I find is better used while reading fantasy than in everyday life. In fantasy there is no real right or wrong. Furthermore, I believe there really is magic, but people just dont realise it because it works in subtle (微妙的) ways, and you may not recognise it for what it is. ChrisMany people like to escape from the busy and noisy life and be attracted by a story which involves something special, unreal or different possibly magic. People enjoy being in someone elses shoes someone extraordinary, so that we can look at the world through anothers eyes. You can switch off and enjoy letting your imagination run wild.

A website.BA century ago in the United States, when an individual brought suit（起诉） against a pany, public opinion tended to protect that pany. But perhaps this phenomenon was most striking in the case of the railroads. Nearly half of all carelessness cases decided through 1896 involved railroads. And the railroads usually won.Most of the cases were decided in sate courts, when the railroads had the climate of the times on their sides. Government supported the railroad industry; the progress railroads represented was not to be slowed down by requiring them often to pay damages to those unlucky enough to be hurt working for them.Court decisions always went against railroad workers. A Mr. Farwell, an engineer, lost his right hand when a switchman carelessly ran his engine off the track. The court reasoned that since Farwell had taken the job of an engineer voluntarily at good pay, he had accepted the risk. Therefore the accident, though avoidable had the switchmen acted carefully, was a pure accident. In effect a railroad could never be held responsible for injury to one employee caused by the mistake of another.In one case where a Pennsylvania Railroad worker had started a fire at a warehouse and the fire had spread several blocks, causing widespread damage, a jury found the pany responsible for all the damage. But the court overturned the jurys decision because it argued that the railroads carelessness was the immediate cause of damage only to the nearest buildings. Beyond them the connection was too far-off to consider.As the century wore on, public feeling began to turn against the railroads - against their economic and political power and high fares as well as against their coldness toward individuals.14. Which of the following is NOT true in Farwells case?A. Farwell was injured because he carelessly ran his engine off the track.B. Farwell would not have been injured if the switchman had been more careful.C. The court argued the victim had accepted the risk since he had willingly taken his job.D. The court decided that the railroad should not be held responsible.15. What must have happened after the fire case was settled in court?A. The railroad pensated（赔偿）for the damage to the immediate buildings.B. The railroad pensated for all the damage by the fire.C. The railroad paid nothing for the damaged building.D. The railroad worker paid for the property damage himself.16. The following aroused public anger EXCEPT _.A. political power B. high fares C. economic loss D. indifference17. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Railroad oppressing individuals in the US. B. History of the US railroads.C. Railroad workers working rights. D. Law cases concerning the railroads. C Every continent, except Antarctica, has rock art, but Africa has more rock art and the greatest range of art. It also has some of the oldest art. Almost every country in Africa has rock art but the greatest number of examples occur in North AfricasSaharaDesertand inSouthern Africa. There are two kinds of art: rock paintings and rock engravings (雕刻). In North Africa, some of the earliest works were over 8 metres high and were very well made by Stone-age people, who had no knowledge of writing. Most of North Africas rock art is found in the Sahara Desert, and other north- and west-African countries. The richest of all is Algeria, where some of the worlds most varied and extraordinary rock art can be found. Because rock art was made so long ago, we dont know who the earliest artists were. However, there are some exceptions to this. In North Africa, we know that the earlier art, dating from more than 7,000 years ago, was made by people who hunted and gathered wild food. Paintings, including those of cattle dating from between 7,000 and 4,500 years ago, may have been made by ancestors of Black West Africans. Much of the art of the last 3,500 years, particularly the engravings of Niger and Mali, was produced by ancestors of the Amazie people. Rock art is the only way we can tell how our ancestors thought and how they saw their world. However, because most rock art belonged to cultures that disappeared long ago, its now difficult to understand why the artists painted and carved (雕刻), or what their art meant to them. Many researchers believe that the art had religious connections, expressing the artists thoughts of reality and their position in the world around them. It must have been a means of munication, but with whom? Bushmen artists showed their visions of a bined natural and spiritual world. Did they do this to tell others what they saw during dream-like states or was it a means to contact the earths spirit and control nature? During the 20th century in eastern and central Africa, people used and still use rock paintings to bring rain, and assist their souls through difficult moments such as birth, being adults, sickness and death. Perhaps our modern beliefs have ancient origins.18. Where is the most colourful rock art?A. Algeria. B. Southern Africa. C. The Sahara Desert. D. West-African countries.19. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The significance of rock art. B. The identity of the rock artists.C. The extent of rock art in Africa. D. The discovery of the first rock art.20. What do researchers think of rock art?A. It reflected our ancestors beliefs. B. It was probably a form of petition.C. It served as a way to practice painting. D. It showed a world our ancestors imagined.21. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Bushmen used rock art to control nature.B. Modern Africans still create rock art as a tradition.C. Ancient Africans used rock art to record their dreams.D. Some Africans used rock art to strengthen themselves.DPerhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if youre unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desiresnot that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you dont have enough tastes.Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (能力) to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped(淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅) , a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when youre hungry.Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.Music like Mozarts and Bachs shouldnt be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when youve brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.22.The author intends to tell us that_.Atrue happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair meansBbig houses are peoples most valued possessionsCbig houses can in a sense bring richness of lifeDtrue happiness es from spiritual riches23.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that_.Ahowever materially rich, they never seem to be satisfiedBhowever materially rich, they remain spiritually poorCthough their house is big, they prefer a simple lifeDthough their house is big, it seems to be a cage24. It can be learned from the passage that _.Amore money brings more happinessBart is needed to make your house beautifulCliterature can enrich your spiritual lifeDsports contribute mainly to your physical fitness25. What would be the best title for the passage?AHouse of Life BSecret of WealthCRest and Refreshment DInterest and Enthusiasm第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Movie Movies are a form of entertainment that is popular all over the world. Movies are pictures that seem to move when shown on a screen. They are also called motion pictures or films.26Two important pieces of equipment are the movie camera and the movie projector. A movie camera records pictures on film. A movie camera takes many still pictures very quickly. Most movie cameras take 24 pictures every second. Because they are taken so close together they catch very small differences in movement.27As film runs through it, a projector flashes the pictures one after the other on a screen. The pictures go past the eyes so quickly that the brain links them together as a moving scene. The projector also plays the movies sound track (声道). The sound track contains all of the sounds of the movie, including talking, music, and sound effects.28The producer handles the business. He raises money for making the movie and hires people, including the screenwriter and the director. The screenwriter puts the story together and writes what the actors will say. The director turns the written story into a movie. He helps the producer choose the actors and actresses who appear in the movie. Some members create special effects.29 After the filming is done, editors put the pictures and sound together. Usually the director films a lot of material, some of which will not be included in the final movie.30Sound editors make sure that the sound track fits well with the pictures.A. Making a movie takes many people.B. Making and viewing a movie requires special equipment.C. A movie projector makes the still picture appear to move.D. During filming, the director decides how the scenes are filmed.E. The sound track is a thin band that runs along the edge of the film.F. Film editors work with the director to cut scenes and move others around.G. Special effects are tricks used to film things that would be too difficult to film.第三部分： 语言知识及运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）It was just like yesterday.I can still remember the31I felt when my parents went off to school for the parent-teacher meeting.32, I should not be uneasy: I did very well in school, and I was a good33.So why did I still feel34?Probably that was because a group of35were discussing my learning.
