IV Reading Comprehension (阅读理解) (50分):

(说明：实验班学生必须做完全部五篇阅读方能得50分；其他班级学生仅读A --- D四篇。)

(A)

The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film

a beautiful sunset over the ocean(海洋) so that the audiences (or people who watch the film) could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the

film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent his camera crew

(摄制组)out one evening to film the sunset for him .

The next morning he said to the men, “Have you provided me with

that sunset?”

“No, sir.” the men answered.

The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked.

“Well, sir,” one of the men answered. “we?re on the east coast here, and

the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea if necessary, but not a sunset.”

“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport, take

the next flight to the west coast, and get one.”

But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don?t you photograph

a sunrise,” she suggested, “and then play it backwards? Then it?ll look like

- Page 5 -

a sunset.”

The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay(海湾). Then at nine

o?clock they took it to the director. “Here it is, sir!” they said, and gave it to

him. He was very pleased.

They all went into the studio. “All right,” the director explained. “now

our hero and heroine are going to say good-bye. Run the film backwards so

that we can see the …sunset behind them.?”

The “sunset” began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.

“You don?t say!”

A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my

teacher emphasized(强调) the importance(重要性) again and again. But soon,

the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience(经历).

- Page 6 -

One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon

we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English,

the foreigner seemed to be astonished (or greatly surprised). Gently

(轻轻) shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders(耸肩), he said, “You

don?t say!”“You don?t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is

not an appropriate topic(适当的话题). “Well,I?d better change the topic.”

So I said to him, “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?”“Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent(or great and beautiful).”

He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it” Soon I

was interrupted (or stopped suddenly) again by his words：“You don?t say!”

I couldn?t help asking,“Why do you ask me not to talk about it?”“Well,I didn?t request (or ask in a polite way) you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised.

I said, “Didn?t you say …you don?t say??” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “…You don?t say? actually means…really?? It is an

expression of surprise. Perhaps you don?t pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions.

Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students. 61. A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because _______ .

A．English idioms were not important

B．I was not careful with English idioms

(C)

If you're in charge of (负责)a project, the key to success is getting everyone to want to help you. As a director, I point, I suggest, I gently push the actors in the direction(方向) I want them to go.

In the 1986 movie Nothing in Common, Jackie Gleason's character,

Max Basner, gets fired (or unemployed) from his job as a clothing salesman. The scene, shot (拍) on a boat, shows Max's despair(绝望) about being out of work. I was looking for some gesture that would allow Max to show his feelings.

Jackie had far more experience(经验) at everything than I did, and at first I was frightened (very much afraid). What could I possibly tell “The Great One”about acting? Out of fear I decided to direct by suggestion, and I sat down with Gleason to talk about the scene. “So Max is sad, right?” I said.

Gleason nodded.

“And he?s probably still carrying his pens with his name on them ---

the ones he used to hand out to his customers, right?”

Gleason nodded.

“ So what would you want to do with the pens after you were fired?”

He was silent for a moment. “Why don?t I throw them overboard (or all over the boat)?” I stood up and turned toward the crew. “ Hey, everybody, Jackie has a wonderful idea. Let?s shoot it.”

After filming the scene, Gleason called me over and said with a

smile, “Garry, what kind of wonderful idea am I going to have tomorrow?”

You and your team can discover the answers to problems together.

When there are no prizes or gold stars for who gets the solution (or the way

to work out a problem) first, you'll all benefit (or get something of use or value) when everything turns out right.

you should _________________.

A. make everyone work for you

John Russell, aged 83, got on a Chicago bus and saw a sign saying that senior citizens(老年公民) could ride (or take buses) for half fare(费用). When he dropped his three quarters in the box, the driver demanded (or asked for) identification(身份证明). John took out an ID card. “You need a special CTA card,” said the driver. John did not have the C hicago Transit Authority(交通管

理署) card because he lives in New York and was in Chicago visiting his two sons.

“Put in another three quarters,” said the driver, “or get off the bus.”

One privilege(专利;特权) of old age is being stubborn (固执). John said,

“ Give me back my quarters, and I'll get off.”

“I can?t —it?s in the box. If you don?t get off, I?ll call the police,” said he, which he did. Two police cars pulled up.

“I?m the criminal(罪犯),” said John Russell. Then he and the driver told their stories.

“That?s what you called me for?” one policeman asked the driver. Another police man then said to John, “I'll give you three quarters.”

John shook his head, “Why should you give me the quarters? He has to give me my quarters.”

“Where are you going?” asked the polic emen.

“Downtown to have lunch with friends,” John said.

“Come on,” the policemen said. “We?ll get you your card.” So they took

him down town to the CTA office. But the people there wouldn?t give him a

CTA card --- he needed a picture.

“What about his quarters?” one policeman asked. The officials discussed, and the decision was made to give John?s quarters back.

When John got downstairs, the policemen asked where he was going.

“To see my friends,” John said.

“How are you going to get there?”

“On the bus. And all I?m going to pay is 75 cents.”

“Good luck,” the policemen said.

John got on a bus, dropped three quarters in the box, and said, “I?m a senior citizen...” The driver looked at John and nodded. He didn?t know how

Since 1989, Dave Thomas, who died at age 69, was one of the most recognizable (or: that can be recognized) faces on TV. He appeared in more

than 800 commercials (or: business ads on TV or the radio) for the hamburger chain named for his daughter. “As long as it works,” he said in 1991, “I?ll continue to do those commercials.”

Even though he was successful, Thomas remained troubled by his childhood. “He still won?t let anyone see his feet, which are out of shape because he never had proper-fitting shoes.” Wendy said in 1993. Born to a single mother, he was adopted (or: taken into the family as their own) as a baby by Rex and Auleva Thomas of Kalamazoo in Michigan. After Auleva died when he was 5, Thomas spent years on the road as Rex traveled around seeking construction (or: building) work. “He fed me,” Thomas said, “and if I got out of line, he?d beat me.”

Moving out on his own at 15, Thomas worked, first as a waiter, in many restaurants. But he had something much better in mind. “I thought if I owned

a restaurant,” he said, “I could eat for free.” A 1956 meeting with Harland Sanders led Thomas to a career (or: lifetime job) as the manager of a Kentucky

- Page 10 -

Fried Chicken restaurant that made him a millionaire (or: a rich man with millions of dollars or pounds) in 1968.

In 1969, after breaking with Sanders, Thomas started the first Wendy?s Old Fashioned hamburgers, in Columbus, Ohio, which set itself apart (or: made itself different from or better than others) by serving made-to-order burgers. With 6,000 restaurants worldwide, the chain now makes $6 billion a year in sales.

Although troubled by his own experience with adoption, Thomas, married since 1954 to Lorraine, 66, and with four grown kids (or: children) besides

Wendy, felt it could offer a future for other children. He started the Dave

Thomas Foundation (or: organization set up to offer money to help) for

Adoption in 1992.

In 1993, Thomas, who had left school at 15, graduated (or: left school) from Coconut Creek High School in Florida. He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party .The kids voted (or: chose formally) him “Most Likely to Succeed.”

“The Dave you saw on TV was the real Dave,” says friend Pat Williams. “He wasn?t a great actor or a great speaker. He was just …Joe Everybody?.”

One possible version:

Smoking Is Harmful!

You can see smokers everywhere in public places, and you can find

that most of them are young people, even middle school students. It's said that in China nearly half of the population are smokers.

Why do so many people smoke? Some think smoking is a kind of fashion; some think smoking is a pleasure; while others believe they can refresh themselves by smoking. In fact, smoking is a very bad habit. It does great harm to people's health and causes a lot of diseases, such as lung cancer. So smoking is a waste of money. Besides, many fires are caused by careless smokers.

I do hope people can give up smoking.
