2.AVATAR director James Cameron is now taking his camera deep into the ocean.
On March 25,he did alone submarine(潛水艇)dive nearly 11 kilometers down to the deepest place in the ocean,the Mariana Trench(馬里亞納海溝)in the westem Pacific.
Compared with the colorful forest of Avatar,the Mariana Trench is dark and icy cold  Cameron became the first person to explore the deepest valley in the ocean since two men made a 20-minute trip there in 1960.
"I felt like I literally(真正地)had gone to  another planet and come back"Cameron told the Associated Press after returning from his dive."It's really the sense of isolation(與世隔絕),realizing how tiny you are down in this big,black and unexplored place."
The filmmaker has spend the past few years working with his team of engineers to design and build the submarine called  Deepsea  Challenger.Unlike ordinary submarines,it is wrapped(包圍)in cameras and lights so that Cameron can film the ocean from the inside.
The minute-long video that Cameron took while under the sea has been released by the National Geographic.There are no words in the video,but there is something fascinating  about this extremely quiet and  distantplace.Cameron said be was thankful that he had had the chance to go there.
"There had be a moment where I just stopped,and took it in,and said,‘This is where I am  at the bottom of the ocean,the deepest place on Earth  What does that mean?'"Cameron told reporters.
    The Mariana Trench was once thought to be of little interest to scientists.It was assumed that nothing could live under so much pressure and with so little light,But in recent years scientists have found creatures there like fish and shrimps (蝦)that can resist the heavy pressure.They are also trying to figure out what role deep-sea trenches play in earthquakes.
    Cameron told the BBC that he does not want this dive to be one-time thing.He wants to use it as a platform for further ocean exploration

分析 本文講述了《阿凡達》導演詹姆斯.卡梅倫帶著他的相機乘坐"深海挑戰(zhàn)者"潛艇去馬里亞納海溝探險并全程拍下深海景色.

解答 41.C 寫作意圖題.本篇文章目的是為了告訴讀者卡梅倫去馬里亞納海溝的探險.
42.C推理判斷題.由第六段中的There are no words in the video,but there is something fascinating about this extremely quiet and distantplace.Cameron said be was thankful that he had had the chance to go there.可知卡梅倫他在深海所看見的事情感到驚喜.A"感到著急 被隔閡";B"為安全擔憂";D"征服了整片海域而興奮"均與文章不符.
43.A  理解推理題.由第五段中的Unlike ordinary submarines,it is wrapped(包圍)in cameras and lights so that Cameron can film the ocean from the inside.可知"深海挑戰(zhàn)者"與一般潛艇的區(qū)別是安裝了海底拍攝裝置,以供卡梅倫拍攝海底的景象.
44.B 理解推理題.由第三段卡梅倫成為了1960年兩人作了20分的深海旅行之后的第一人,可知A項不對.由倒數第二段可知科學家對馬里亞納海溝不太感興趣,它里面沒有生物存在,但是近些年科學家已經發(fā)現有如蝦的生物存在,還試圖找出深海海溝在地震過程中所扮演的角色.故B正確,CD兩項錯誤.
45.B 理解推理題,根據第二段 he did alone submarine(潛水艇)dive nearly 11 kilometers down to the deepest place in the ocean,the Mariana Trench(馬里亞納海溝)in the westem Pacific.他獨自一人駕駛潛水艇去探險;第五段提到The filmmaker has spend the past few years working with his team of engineers to design and build the submarine called  Deepsea  Challenger.他和團隊花了數年的時間去設計和修建 Deepsea  Challenger等,可知,詹姆斯.卡梅倫是一個極富挑戰(zhàn)精神的人,故選B.

點評 本文講述了《阿凡達》導演詹姆斯.卡梅倫帶著他的相機乘坐"深海挑戰(zhàn)者"潛艇去馬里亞納海溝探險并全程拍下深海景色的一個故事,題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題,做題時結合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關語句進行仔細分析,結合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關鍵句子的基礎上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據.

18.Afternoon tea became popular about 150years ago,when rich ladies invited their friends to their houses for an afternoon cup of tea.Usually taken in the late afternoon,it is also called"low tea"as it is served at a low table.Since this isn't a meal,but rather like a late afternoon snack,finger foods such as sandwiches,scones and pastries are common.People are not merely taking tea to get nutrition or satisfy hunger,but to take time to relax,chat and enjoy the company of dear friends.In England,the traditional time for tea is four or five o'clock in the afternoon and no one stays after seven o'clock.
This very British tradition is said to have been started around 1840by Duchess Anna Maria,wife of the 7th Duke of Bedford,England.During the long time between an early breakfast and very late dinner,she experienced what she called"a sinking feeling"at about 4or 5in the afternoon.So she asked her maid to bring her a pot of tea,a little bread and butter and cake in her room.She found this arrangement so pleasing that she began asking her friends to join her.
High tea,a term often mixed with afternoon tea,usually takes the place of supper.In the past the British working population did not have afternoon tea.They had meals about noon and after work between five and seven o'clock.The table would be set with dinner foods like meat,bread,butter,potatoes,cheese and of course tea.It was called"high tea"because it was eaten at a high dining table rather than a low tea table.
How much do people enjoy the afternoon tea moment?As a famous writer named Henry James said,"There are few hours in life greater than the hour dedicated to(獻給) the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

A.Duchess Anna Maria   B.the 7th Duke of Bedford
C.Henry James          D.Some unknown working people
29.What does the underlined phrase"a sinking feeling"probably refer to?B
A.a feeling of being bored       B.a feeling of hunger
C.a feeling of missing friends   D.a feeling of shyness
30.Why does the writer mention Henry James'words?C
A.To tell us how the name"afternoon tea"came.
B.To tell us that afternoon is in fact a ceremony.
C.To show how popular afternoon tea is.
D.To show the difference between afternoon tea and high tea.
31.Which of the following statements about high tea is true according to the passage?A
A.High tea got its name because it was eaten at a high dining table.
B.Finger foods such as sandwiches and scones are common for high tea.
C.High tea is served between breakfast and lunchtime.
D.High tea has taken the place of low tea as afternoon tea.

17.My favorite English teacher could draw humor out of the driest material.It wasn't forced on us either.He took Samuel Johnson's dictionary,Addison's essays,and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them hilarious,even at eight o'clock in the morning.The thing that amazed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own some of them seemed dead,but the second time,after his explanation,I couldn't believe that I hadn't seen the humor.The stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with allusions(典故) and irony and hilarious moments.I learned more from him than from any other teacher.
My least favorite English teacher also made people laugh.Some students found him to be wonderfully funny.Many others did not.He assigned journals over a six week period,to be written in every day.At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of bits and pieces about my ideas,short stories,reactions to what we had read,and so on.Our teacher announced that we would be grading each other's journals.Mine was passed to Joe,that class clown,who always behaved in a funny or silly way.He saw it fit to make joke of and said,"This writing isn't fit to line the bottom of a birdcage."Our teacher laughed at that funny remark.It hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven my writing and teaching ever since.
So what makes the difference?Humor is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have.It can build up students and classes and make them excited about literature and writing,or it can tear them apart.It is true that humor is either productive or counter-productive and self-defeating.

59.The passage mainly discussesC.
A.teaching      B.literature     C.humor     D.knowledge
60.The underlined word"hilarious"in Paragraph 1probably meansA.
A.funny      B.tiring       C.inspiring    D.brilliant
61.With his favorite English teacher,the writer found it most amazing thatC.
A.his teacher was very learned
B.his teacher was very humorous
C.the works by Johnson and Addison were very humorous
D.few were able to find humor in works by Johnson and others
62.The English teacher the writer disliked mostB.
A.was not able to make students laugh
B.hurt his students'feelings
C.didn't let his students do the grading
D.had no sense of humor.

12."Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice.Gifts are easy--they're given after all.Choices can be hard."--Jeff Bezos.
I got the idea to start Amazon 16years ago.I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300percent per year.I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast,and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me.I had just turned 30years old,and I'd been married for a year.I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most start-ups don't,and I wasn't sure what to expect.MacKenzie told me I should go for it.As a young boy,I'd been a garage inventor.I'd always wanted to be an inventor,and she wanted me to follow my passion.
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people,and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired.I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet.He took me on a long walk in Central Park,listened carefully to me,and finally said,"That sounds like a really good idea,but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job."That logic made some sense to me,and he convinced me to think about it for 48hours before making a final decision.Seen in that light,it really was a difficult choice,but ultimately (最后),I decided I had to give it a shot.I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing.And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.
After much consideration,I took the less safe path to follow my passion,and I'm proud of that choice.For all of us,in the end,we are our choices.

25.What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?C
A.His dream of being an inventor.
B.The support of his wife.
C.The greatly increasing usage of the Internet.
D.Millions of exciting titles.
26.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?C
A.The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him.
B.He would be very excited if he tried it out.
C.He would be always having a doubt if he didn't try.
D.The decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him.
27.We can know from the passage thatC.
A.the boss thought the idea was suitable for the author
B.the author wanted someone else to try the idea
C.the author might not regret if he failed the idea
D.the author might go back to his boss if he failed
28.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?D
A.Cleverness and Kindness      B.The Starting of Amazon
C.Following My Passion         D.We Are What We Choose.
