Many movies of this kind have been well-received when they were first shown, but few of them have enjoyed lasting fame and popularity. The films on the list of the five most famous war movies still remain fresh and are popular among many people.The Longest Day An all-star cast recreates D-Day and the Normandy attack, the greatest landing and aerial(空中的) invasion in history. This is probably the most famous war movie because of the large number of big stars who have roles in the film.Apocalypse Now This is a famous war movie because of its description of the Vietnam War and excellent performance from Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen and Robert Duvall. The film, full of memorable scenes and quotes, is widely viewed as a masterpiece of movie making.The Dirty Dozen Lee Marvin, playing an officer who thinks and acts independently, is appointed to train twelve prisoners, most of whom have been sentenced to death, to go on a suicide mission to kill several Nazi generals. If any of the men makes it back, they may get a pardon. This is one of the most popular war movies ever made.Platoon This famous war movie is the fictional account of a platoon(排) in Vietnam that is divided into two peting groups. The plot is partly based on the director Oliver Stones real life experience.Midway This is probably the most famous war movie ever made about navy. Its based on the battle between Japanese and American aircraft carrier groups near Hawaii in World War II that resulted in a decisive American victory.21. What are the most important themes of the movies mentioned above?A. World War II and the Vietnam War. B. petitions in the Vietnam War.C. Fights between Nazi generals and soldiers. D. D-Day landing and the Normandy attack.22. The text is meant to_.A. describe five most famous movie posters B. choose the best war movie among the fiveC. introduce five masterpieces of American films D. celebrate the success of the five American films23.

People were carelessly blocking aisles, cutting one another off with their carts.Things got worse at the checkout line.The cashier scanned a mans discount card, but he misread the savings on her screen as an additional charge. He decided she was acting deliberately and began to argue.“She is being spiteful (恶意的)!” he yelled. “This is unbelievable.”Other customers looked away as the cashier tried to reason with him. She called a manager, who acpanied him to customer service. Shaken, she moved to the next customer in line.Weve all witnessed unfortable scenes like this in public places.The grocery scene was another example of how our trust in others has eroded . But it was also a teachable moment on how we can rebuild our faith-starting with just one person.Back at the grocery store, my wife and I reached our uneasy cashier. I grabbed a bottle of water from a nearby cooler and handed it to her. “We felt bad about how that man treated you and wanted to buy this for you.” I said. Her face lit up, and we talked as she scanned our items. She told us she had been working that evening through severe foot pain and would be having surgery later that week. We wished her well in her recovery, and she thanked us as we left.Those are the balancing acts, the moments of responding social and emotional pain with healing, which will add up to restore trust among people. You can start that pattern in someone elses life, even in a place as ordinary as the neighborhood grocery store.24.Why did the man at the checkout line argue with the cashier? A. The cashier called a manager to help her. B. Someone jumped the queue waiting to check out. C. There was something wrong with his discount card. D. He believed the cashier charged him more on purpose.25.The underlined word “erode” in Paragraph 5 means_. A.changed B.increased C.faded D.formed26.The author bought a bottle of water for the cashier because_. A. he thought the cashier might feel a bit thirsty B. he knew she had gone through much trouble recently C. he wanted to restore the trust between her and the man D. he wanted to fort her after the terrible experience just now27.The last paragraph is intended to _. A. add a warning B. make a suggestion C.introduce a topic D. present an argument CPlay is vital in every childs development, and for toddlers(蹒跚学步的小孩) the benefits of play especially e to life when they can connect with parents during playtime.To raise awareness and help parents create the time and attention span needed, LEGO and DUPLO launches a “Do not disturb playtime campaign. 21 days is what it takes on average to break a habit, so for 21 days the LEGO DUPLO team will not post on social media during “toddler playtime”, defined as 5am-8pm. With social media being an integrated(不可或缺的) part and creative inspiration to modern family life, it is no surprise that researchers call out digital behavior as a concerning obstacle to quality playtime. “While we are hooked on our cell phones, we should think about turning them off when interacting with our young children. Kids learn so much from us and we dont want to get in the way of that. Take language learning for example. When nurturing caregivers talk to their children about what they are interested in, it helps them learn new words and new ways to express themselves. Our research shows that the use of a cell phone in a conversation between parent and child disturbs that childs word learning.” advises Roberta Golinkoff, PhD:Professor, University of Delaware. Our research shows that parents today understand their significant role in ensuring their kids grow up to be happy, well-rounded, and equipped for the future. At the same time, many worry about not spending enough time with their toddlers. LEGO DUPLO wants to inspire parents to make the small moments memorable. “We know parents today feel more time-starved than ever before. Many feel guilty over not spending enough time with their little ones. Through the Do not disturb playtime campaign, we hope to re-assure parents that its not so much of the amount of time they spend with their kids, but the small meaningful moments they create during play”, said Steffen Jensen, LEGO Group Senior Marketing Director.28. The underlined phrase in the third paragraph can be probably replaced by_.A. familiar with B. addicted to C.particular about D.strict in29. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Digital behavior is supposed to be totally abandoned in our daily life.B. Parents today attach little importance to spending time with their children.C. This campaign is intended to arouse peoples awareness of the importance of playtime.D. Parents have more time than before so they should acpany their children.30. What might be Roberta Golinkoffs attitude towards the campaign?A. Disapproving B. Unconcerned C. Critical D. Favorable31. While interacting with their children, parents are advised to_.A. Create memorable and meaningful experiencesB. Provide children with big projects rather than small onesC. Express themselves in new waysD. Focus on childrens language learning DA new discovery may change how scientists think about prehistoric humans. Human history is more of a war movie than a romantic edy, at least as far as other animals are concerned; we may be causing one of the planets great extinction events at the moment. But a recent discovery means humans might not be as destructive as we thought.Large animals have a history of disappearing when humans move to their areas. Scientists have long believed that humans simply hunted big animals because people are really good at hunting. For example, scientists thought humans arrived in Madagascar around 4,000 years ago, but only two thousand years later, giant lemurs, giant tortoises and elephant birds disappeared from the island. Many scientists thought humans had something to do with that rapid drop in biodiversity(生物多样性).At least, thats what scientists thought until a group of researchers dug up a lot of bones in Madagascar recently. These bones belonged to the elephant bird, a kind of extinct bird that weighed up to 1,000 pounds. The huge bones were covered in cuts that clearly came from a human hunter. The researchers found that the humans had killed the birds 10,000 years ago.Thousands of years before scientists believed humans had e to the island.“Our research provides evidence of human activity in Madagascar more than 6,000 years earlier than suspected , which shows that a different extinction theory is required to understand the huge biodiversity loss that has happened on the island.” explained James Hansford, one of the researchers. “Humans seem to have coexisted with elephant birds and other now-extinct species for over 8,000 years, clearly with limited negative influence on biodiversity for most of this period.”If humans lived among large animals for thousands of years without wiping them out, then maybe our species cant wipe other species out. Rather, extinction is more of a habit weve learned. Perhaps we can unlearn it too.32. What can we learn in Madagascar from the text?A. Humans might not do less damage than we thought.B. Those large animals became extinct at the same time.C. Human activities had less influence on biodiversity loss.D. Giant animals were more likely to die out than small ones.33. The elephant birds became extinct in the island about_years ago.A. 2,000 B. 6,000 C. 8,000 D. 10,000 34. As to the previous theory of the biodiversity loss, Hansford thought it_.A. was correct B. was doubtful C. had no influence D.was pletely wrong35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. The influence of human activities on biodiversityB. The ancient bird makes me confident of humanity againC. Humans should be responsible for the biodiversity lossD. The times when humans and big animals exist together 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。Helen Keller once wrote, “The unselfish effort to bring cheer to others will be the beginning of a happier life for ourselves.” 36 The UN has set December 5 as International Volunteer Day to give recognition to these people.
