| Since it was published in 1818, Frankenstein, a classic horror story, has been in print in many languages. The monster from the novel by Mary Shelley is the result of man's uncontrolled desire to create and apply his knowledge. The novel features Victor Frankenstein, a student who explores the secrets of life in his laboratory. Fearing that he has created a monster, Victor Frankenstein wants to stop but too late. The monster kills Victor Frankenstein's young brother and causes the murder to be blamed on an innocent girl. Victor and the monster meet in the frozen mountains. The monster asks Victor to create a female monster, promising to afterwards leave with her for the wilds. Victor begins the work and discovers the monster has followed him to watch the work. Victor regrets his decision to create a second monster and worries that together they will begin a species of monster. Victor destroys the monster's bride. The monster soon takes revenge (复仇) on Victor by killing his best friend, his father and finally, his bride, Elizabeth. Victor pursues (追赶) the monster across many places. On the point of death, Victor meets a ship and tells his story to the captain whose letters and diaries are then to form this novel. Victor Frankenstein's last words are, "Farewell, Walton!

| Sir Richard Branson today offered a $25 000 000 prize for scientists who find a way to save the planet from the effects of climate change. Supported by the former US vice-president Al Gore and other environmentalists, the boss of Virgin Atlantic airlines called for scientists to come up with a way to take greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. "What we are doing is making sure we get the most carbon dioxide-friendly planes. We promise that 100% of profits we make from our transportation business are put into things like the prize we've offered today. We shall convince people that we are facing a threat which is urgent and there's no superhero. We have no hope of a meaningful solution unless we find a way to work together." he said. Mr Gore said global warming was man-made and was like to the planet suffering from a "fever". He said, "Humans had slipped into a way of thinking that was centered on 'shortterm satisfaction', and now meet the challenge of transforming ourselves and changing the structures of everything we do'," he said. Reacting to the launch of the prize, Tony Jupiter, the Friends of the Earth's director, warned against wasting time waiting for new inventions. He said, "Sir Richard's initiative (初衷) may encourage inventors to develop a wonder technology to deal with carbon dioxide of the atmosphere. But many of the ways, such as energy efficiency and renewables, already exist, and it is essential that these be put into practice as soon as possible. Moreover, Sir Richard must also look at his business activities and the contribution they make to climate change. The world will find it very difficult to settle climate change if air travel continues to expand and space tourism is developed." |

| Jim Carrey is one of the most recognized faces in the world-and certainly because of his rubbery face. Born in Ontario, Canada on January 17th, 1962 to a poor family, young Jim Carrey led a tough life, yet one good thing came out of it. He developed a great sense of humor to cope with life. At 15, he started performing at a Toronto comedy club. Later he moved to LA and soon came to the attention of Rodney and went on his tour. Jim Carrey got his big break in 1990 0n the comedy show In Living Color. There Carrey perfected many characters, most widely-known one "Fire Marshal Bill", who always went up in flames. The show stopped when critics claimed that it encouraged kids to play with fire. This argument put Carrey's name in the headlines for the first time. He broke into feature films in one single successful year, 1994, making it the Year of the Funny Face. First there was Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, a surprise hit showing Carrey's wacky (古怪) style. Next came TheMask, tailor-made for him and a hit with audiences. There was still Dumb and Dumber, which ended up on top of the box office. Carrey has slowed down, but his films have continued to make waves if not quite of the previous quality. There was Barman Forever, then a sequel to Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, which didn't quite retake the sparkle (光彩) of the earlier one: Next came Liar, Liar, a terrific success everywhere, putting him back on top. Then came The Truman Show, a film which proved Jim Carrey was more than just a funny face. Snubbed (冷落) by the Oscars, he was clearly considered golden by the fans. |
| 1. All of the following films are considered of excellent quality EXCEPT _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. Liar, Liar B. Dumb and Dumber C. The Truman Show D. Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls |

|
[ ] |
| A. He has achieved his fame completely due to his face. B. His hard early life helped develop his style of humor. C. He received universal praises for his part in In Living Color. D. Not many people like his performing style. |
| 3. The underline word"sequel" in Paragrah 5 probably refers to _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. an adapted film of the original B. a film that continues a story C. a comedy show of a strange style D. a comment on a funny film |

|
[ ] |

| Dear Editor, I'm writing to tell you about a food poisoning accident. Several days ago, my neighbor ate a bag of food buying from the market. After the meal, they had stomachaches and their faces turn pale. Fortunately, one of their friends found the accident and immediately called on an ambulance, which carried them quickly to a hospital. After several hours' treatment they finally escaped from death. As some illegal businessmen only interested in making profits to become rich quickly, we seldom care about the necessary safety measures or care which happens to consumers. They must be charged with law. Meanwhile, I do hope whole society can realize the important of food safety and begin taking action together to make sure food is safe. Yours, Wang Ming __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ |
