Filmfest
DC has been bringing movies from around the world to Washington DC for twenty
years. This twelve-day event takes place in movie theatres all over the city.
Thousands of local movie fans enjoy the latest examples of international
cinema.
The
festival celebrated its twentieth year with a special opening of a night party.
Visitors saw a new British starring actor Gabriel Byrne, who was also a special
guest that night. He talked about his successful movie and how it was made. The
movie is about a young British boy growing up in Africa in the 1960s. Mr. Byrne
said that filming in Swaziland and learning about that country were one of the
best experiences in his career.
Filmfest
DC movies dealt with two main subjects this year. One theme was the cinema of
Brazil. Filmfest DC officials say Brazil is currently producing many energetic
and creative movies. Audience enjoyed ten examples of new Brazilians movies and
true-life documentaries.
Another
theme of the festival was hip-hop music. This kind of music started in America,
but its influence and sounds have traveled all over the world.
Several
movies explored hip-hop culture in countries like Morocco and Senegal. One
movie is called La Fabri-K. It tells
about a group of hip-hop musicians from Cuba. The musician said their songs
helped express how young people feel in Cuba. The songs talk about social
problems such as racial identity.
Filmfest
DC also showed new movies from the United States. One movie is called Akeelah and the Bee. It tells the story
of Akeelah, a young girl with special talent for spelling.

When
it comes to graduate schools, there are two main kinds of thoughts. The
first--- led by anxious parents everywhere--- says, “Go right away! Otherwise,
you’ll forget what it’s like to be in school, and you won’t be able to study!
Then you’ll never get a good job in the real world!” If this voice is the one
currently pounding in your brain, tell it to be quiet and take a nap. Then,
listen to the more rational side of the debate, which is often the specific
advice you will get from graduate schools: most graduate students are in their
late twenties, and schools like their students to have both excellent life and
professional experience before pursuing a higher degree.
Of
course, not all graduate degrees are created equal. First, there are
professional degrees(law, teaching, medicine) versus academic degrees(
literature, art, history). Some programs take only a year, and others seem to
take the rest of your life. Also, certain professions require you to have more
than a master’s degree. But some fields are more willing to give a chance to
young and inexperienced workers, such as yourself.
Ultimately,
the best thing to do is ask people who are experienced in your chosen field.
Ask them if they think you’d better go to a graduate school right away, or you
should wait for a while. Ask them about the best schools, and the best degree you
want to get. Don’t forget to ask them if their companies ever pay for them to
get more education. Frequently, a company will help you pay for it and give you
flexible hours, in return for a guarantee of work for a longer period after you
have graduated.
Attending
a graduate school should not be the last resort. It is too expensive and
time-consuming to go without really knowing what you want--- at least for the
time being.
59. Anxious parents believe their children _____.
A. should go to a
graduate school immediately
B. will enjoy
themselves in a graduate school
C. can find a
very good job with a Bachelor’ degree
D. can’t learn a
lot in a graduate school
60. Graduate schools usually prefer students _____.
A. who have won
the most awards
B. who are diligent and respond quickly
C. who perform
excellently in university
D. who have both
life and work experience
61. According to the passage, students shouldn’t _____.
A. ask others for
information about schools and degrees
B. choose to
attend a graduate school when everything else has failed
C. ask others
about whether they can continue studying in companies
D. ask others for
advice on when it is best to continue studying
62. Some companies give employees who are attending school flexible
hours, hoping that employees _____.
A. agree to work
for the company for a long time
B. are qualified
for their jobs and able to do a good job
C. feel they are
badly needed in the company
D. don’t feel
bored with their work
63. What’s the author’s opinion according to the passage?
A. Graduate
schools have some negative effects on the development of students.
B. It’s not wise
for a university student to attend a graduate school right away.
C. Students
should know what they want to learn before attending a graduate school.
D. Students need
to study in a graduate school to enrich themselves.
C
New survey It is official; the English
language has become increasingly varied. BBC Voices, a survey involving 32,000
people, has discovered lots of new words. There had been concerns that regional
dialects (方言) were dying
out and Americanization was taken over--- happily that isn’t true!
Varied words A similar survey in the
1950s found that there were 84 different regional expressions for the
left-handed but now there are 240. These range from cuddly- wifter in
Northumbria, molly-duckered in central Scotland, gammy in Cumbria to keggy in
the east Midlands.
New Cockney (新伦敦腔) Reasoning is twofold: people
move about the country a lot more than in previous years and the UK has become
increasingly multicultural. Study of the Cockney language has found that due to
the influx (涌入) of
Bangladeshi immigrants(孟加拉移民) in London’s east part, words and accents have both changed.
Original Cockney has been replaced by a mixed English of Bangladeshi and
British English. However, this doesn’t only happen to London. In Liverpool, a
mixture of Caribbean-Scouse is becoming common, as is Cardiff-Hindi in Wales.
New slangs Cockney slang is also
keeping up with the times. Britney Spears is a new term for beer, and Becks and
Posh for nosh (a kind of snack food). A top DJ has even inspired the title of a
new film--- It’s all gone Pete Tong for “ It’s all gone wrong.”
Language
changes all the time, whether it is inspired by other parts of the world. We
never know what we may be saying next!
64. According to the new survey, people find that _____.
A. BBC Voices has
lots of new words
B. regional
dialects are dying out
C. American
English is taking over
D. English has become varied
65. Why did the author take “ the left-handed” for example?
A. To show the
differences between different dialects.
B. To give many
examples of the regional expressions.
C. To support the
idea that dialects are not dying out.
D. To present the
result of the survey in the 1950s.
66. The mixture of languages is the result of _____.
A. people’s
moving frequently
B. Bangladeshi’s
immigrating to London
C. the UK’s
traditional culture
D. New Cockney
replacing Original Cockney
67. The best title for the passage might be _____.
A. English Words
under Change
B. Language and
Culture
C. Future

A
new report says 75 percent of farmland in Africa has lost nutrients needed to
grow crops. The highest rates of nutrient loss are in Guinea, Congo, Angola,
Rwanda and Uganda. More than sixty kilograms of nutrients per hectare are being
lost each year. The study also warns that food imports to Africa will need to
be increased if action is not taken at once.
The
international nonprofit organization IFDC released the report in New York City
last month. The President of Nigeria headed the event. He called on African
leaders, aid groups and farming organizations to support a meeting in Nigeria
in June to discuss Africa’s soil crisis.
The
meeting would discuss ways to increase agricultural productivity across Africa.
These include reductions in nutrient mining, limits on cutting of trees, less
use of poor grassland and better farming methods that protect the environment.
The meeting would also aim to increase the use of fertilizers (化肥) in Africa.
Lack
of rain is also harming the soil in Africa. The World Meteorological (气象的) Organization says dry weather
conditions in East Africa will continue in April. Several of the worst affected
areas have recorded their driest months since 1961. The United Nations warns
that more than eleven million people in the area urgently need food assistance.
The
World Food Program has launched a new program that could help pay for a
possible humanitarian emergency in Ethiopia this year. The U.N. agency has
purchased an insurance agreement that will pay money if rainfall does not reach
a certain level this year. The insurance policy is reported to have cost 930
thousand dollars. It was bought from a French insurance company. The company
will pay the World Food Program about seven million dollars if rainfall between
March and October in Ethiopia is below a certain level. The money would be used
to get emergency aid more quickly. The chancellor of the World Food Program
said the insurance program could help change how governments think about
emergency aid.
68. The first paragraph mainly tells us _____.
A. Africans will
suffer from hunger if they don’t stop soil nutrient loss
B. only one forth
of the farmland in Africa can be used to grow crops now
C. the soil
nutrient loss in Africa is getting worse every year
D. Guinea and
Uganda are suffering the highest rates of soil nutrient loss
69. The meeting to be held in Nigeria _____.
A. will be held
by the organization IFDC
B. will discuss
the soil crisis in Nigeria
C. will discuss
how to increase crop productivity in Africa
D. will discuss
how to increase nutrient mining and use of fertilizers
70. Which of the following doesn’t cause the soil nutrient loss in
Africa?
A. Cutting trees
on a large scale.
B. Using bad
farming methods.
C. Increasing the
use of the fertilizers.
D. A lack of
rainfall for a long time.
71. According to the last paragragh, we can learn that _____.
A. the World Food
Program will provide free food for people when necessary
B. the U.N.
agency has bought an insurance from the World Food Program
C. the French
insurance company will pay the World Food Program under certain conditions
D. the World Food
Program has come to an agreement with the U.N. agency
72. The best title for the passage would be_____.
A. African
Countries Are Facing Dangers
B. Measures to be
taken to Fight Against Loss in Soil Fertility
C. African
Countries Need Humanitarian Aid
D. African
Farmland Is Found to Be Severely Infertile

Social Influence
Of
the many influences on human behavior, social influences are the most
universal. The main influence on people is people. When we hear the term social
influence, most of us think of intentional attempts of someone to persuade us
to change our actions or opinions. The television commercial comes to mind. But
many of the most important forms of social influence are unintentional, and
some of the effects we humans have on one another occur simply by means of the
fact that we are in each other’s physical presence.
In
1898 a psychologist(心理学家) named Triplett made an
interesting observation. In looking over speed records of bicycle racers, he
noticed that better speed records were achieved when cyclists raced against
each other than when they raced against the clock. This observation led Triplett
to perform the first controlled laboratory experiment ever carried out in
social psychology. He asked children to turn a wheel as fast as possible for a
certain period of time. Sometimes two children worked at the same time in the
same room, each with his own wheel; at other times, they worked alone. The
results confirmed his theory: Children worked faster in co-action than when
they worked alone.
Soon
after Triplett’s experiment on co-action, it was discovered that the mere
presence of a passive audience was enough to improve performance. This was
discovered accidentally in an experiment by Meumann(1904). He found that the
tested persons lifted a weight faster and farther whenever the psychologist was
in the room. Later experiments have proved this audience effect.
It
appears that co-action and audience effects in humans are caused by the
individual’s(个人的) “
cognitive”, that is, worries about competition and the assessment of
performance that others will make. We learn as we grow up that others praise or
criticize, reward or punish our performances, and this raises our drive level
when we perform before others. Thus, even the early studies of co-action found
that if the pressure of competition is removed, co-action effects are reduced.
Similarly, audience effects are a function of the tested person’s feeling of
how much he is being assessed.
73. Which of the following would be an example of the co-action
effect?
A. Joe and his
two friends work more slowly when they are together than when each is alone.
B. The children
finish their homework faster when their father is present than when he is not.
C. Players work
harder when they exercise together than when they each exercise alone.
D. A woman works
harder when her boss is in the room than when she is alone.
74. What is the main idea of the last paragragh?
A. Competition
and assessment are not related to the co-action and audience effects.
B. Competition
and assessment increase the co-action and audience effects.
C. How people
grow up determines their adult behavior.
D. People praise
and criticize children as they grow up.
75. Which of the following shows how the passage is developed?
