         As the world watched the twin towers of the World Trade Center come under attack, a common phrase was repeated: "It looks like a movie."
         But this time there was no superman to save the people or the famous building. The attack destroyed one of the world's highest skyscrapers and left 5,000 people dead or missing.
         Movie fans have become used to such events after years of Hollywood films showing disasters, terrorism(恐怖主义) and danger, The Empire State Building, the White House, New York City and even the American president himself have all been threatened by terrorist attacks in these exciting films.
         The film "True Lies", released(发行) in 1994 is considered to be a good example of this kind of movie. The special effects, including explosions and missiles, make the action look like a real thing.
         "Independence Day" in 1996 took this type of movie one step further by blowing up the White House.   This science fiction movie is about a war between human beings and aliens(外来人) from another planet. In the movie, the World Trade Center towers are destroyed.
         Violence has become a major part of Hollywood movies. And this is what people enjoy. Soon after the attacks, many famous film companies stopped the planned releases of some of their new movies, especially if their films showed terrorist attacks or plane crashes. "Swordfish" was top of the American box office in June, 2001. But the movie's story was frighteningly similar to the Sept.11 disaster. The film would have been stopped in American and British cinemas after the attack.
         But it's unlikely that Hollywood will stay quiet for long. It is already waiting for the feeling in America to calm down.

    1. What is the main subject of the newspaper article?

    A. The relationship between the Sept.11 attack and Hollywood films.
    B. The effect of the Sept.11 attack on Hollywood films
    C. The response Hollywood made to the Sept.11 attack.
    D. The result of Hollywood films showing violence and disasters.

    2. Which of the following is true?

    A. Hollywood made a lot of money out of the film "Swordfish" in June.
    B. Hollywood stopped making films showing terrorism and disasters after the  Sept.11 attack.
    C. "Swordfish" was not allowed to be shown after the Sept.11 attack.
    D. The World Trade Center was destroyed because no superman came to save it.

    3. From this article we know that       .

    A. Hollywood is a filmmaking center making films of violence and disasters
    B. too many Hollywood films showing terrorism and disasters resulted in the  Sept.11 attack
    C. people who were used to the Hollywood films were not shocked at the Sept.11 attack.
    D. in fact, the Sept.11 attack had nothing to do with Hollywood films.

         The gray-haired lady can't wait to leave the building to search for her dad. Unless watched, she will
    walk in the streets in an effort to find her father, who died 30 years ago.
         Not all cases of Alzheimer's disease look like this, but Alzheimer's is a serious disease that is said to
    be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75.
         It is said that about three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have Alzheimer's. In the early
    stages, people may exhibit short term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality, easy
    to be angry. As the disease progresses, patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to
    speak or move at all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs.
          While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brain's nerve fibers (神经纤维), their effect
    is certain. Alzheimer's destroys not only the patients, but also spouses (配偶), friends and families.
         What should you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have the
    person examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Though many
    reasons other than Alzheimer's disease may cause memory loss, its early diagnosis (诊断) and treatment
    may delay some of the most serious effects.
         What feeling will you likely experience should a loved one suffer from Alzheimer's disease? A person
    will often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse develops the
    disease, you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesn't remember you are married.
         Life for the Alzheimer's patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses, bringing a deep sorrow, loss and even anger towards God. No matter what feelings are present, facing
    them honestly will serve one better than burying them.

    1. What can be inferred from the passage about the gray-haired lady?

    A. She has been living with her father.
    B. She was sad about the death of her father.
    C. She can't search for her father without being watched.
    D. She suffers from Alzheimer's disease.

    2. When people suffer from Alzheimer's disease, ________ .

    A. their families and friends will suffer from the same disease
    B. their families and friends will experience mental sufferings
    C. they will certainly die in 8 to 10 years
    D. they will forget everybody but their spouses

    3. Memory loss occurs ________.

    A. from Alzheimer's disease and nothing else
    B. from sadness, shock, anger, and so on
    C. for a number of reasons
    D. with changes in personality

    4. From the passage we know that ______ .

    A. early treatment may stop Alzheimer's disease occurring
    B. it is still unknown what causes the changes in the brain's nerve fibers
    C. nerve fibers in the brain will cause Alzheimer's disease
    D. when one suffers from Alzheimer's disease, he will be buried'

         It was in 1865 that two Frenchmen were looking into the future. Edouard de Laboulaye, who studied
    history, admired the United States greatly. Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was a famous artist. De Laboulaye was thinking about 1876, when the country he respected so much would celebrate its 100th birthday.
    What gift would be good enough for the people of France to give? Right away, Bartholdi thought of a
    giant statue.
         Bartholdi kept thinking about a statue for several years. Then, in 1871, he visited the United States
    and saw the perfect place for a huge statue. It was Bedloe's Island in New York.
         The project - the Statue of Liberty - got started almost immediately, and Bartholdi went home to
    France to begin work. However, the statue was not finished in time for the 100th birthday. The United
    States Congress approved (批准) the use of Bedloe's Island on February 22, 1877. During the 100th
    celebration in 1876, the arm of the statue that would hold the torch was shown in Philadelphia. In 1879
    the huge head was put on display in France. For the face of the statue, Bartholdi used his mother as a
         The statue was finally completed in 1884. The work had been difficult enough, but then some really
    hard work began. The statue had to be taken apart and packed into boxes. It was not until May 1885
    that the statue - in pieces - left France for its new home.
         The statue arrived in June. However, the Americans fell behind on their part of the project. They
    hadn't raised enough money for building the base of the statue. People wondered if the country really
    needed or wanted such a gift. Finally, though, the money was raised and the base was completed. The
    last piece of the statue was put in place on October 28, 1886.

    1. What's the right order of the following events?

    a.The arm of the statue that would hold the torch was shown in Philadelphia.
    b. The United States Congress approved the use of Bedloe's Island.
    c. The huge head of the statue was put on display in France.
    d. Bartholdi visited the United States.

    A. d a b c
    B. d b a c
    C. b a c d
    D. b d a c

    2.When did the work on the statue begin?

    A. As soon as Bartholdi thought of it.
    B. After the United States Congress agreed to it.
    C. After Bartholdi saw Bedloe's Island.
    D. Not until the US had raised enough money.

    3.What happened after the Statue of Liberty was completed?

    A. It was put together for shipping.
    B. It was taken apart and packed for shipping.
    C. It was cleaned up for shipping.
    D. It was put in place on its base in France.

             1    You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however.
    Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how:
    Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do.
    After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping,
    dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying.     2   A weekly schedule may not solve all
    your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
    Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may
    be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or
    television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
    Make good use of your time in class.     3    Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking
    notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
    Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that
    your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material.    4  If you do these things regularly, the
    material will become more meaningful, and you'll remember it longer.
    Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a
    subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so
    don't be over worried. 
            5  You will probably discover them after you have tried these.

    A. There are other methods that might help you with your studying.
    B. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.
    C. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.
    D. No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.
    E. Maybe you are an average student.
    F. Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.
    G. This will help you understand the next class.

         Fishing is my favorite sport. I often fished for hours without catching anything, and this doesn’t worry
    me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead catching dish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I’m even less
    luck. I never catch everything---even old boots after having been spent a whole morning in the river. So
    I always go home with empty bag. “You should give up fishing,” my friends say, “It’s a waste of time.”
    But they don’t realize one important thing. I’m not real interested in fishing. I’m only interested in sitting in
    a boat and do nothing at all.
