If you love reading books, you must know about the book The Little Prince (王子). It’s a famous novel written by a French writer. As one of the best-selling books in history, it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects. Now, around seventy years after the birth of the book, an American director has found a way to make it into a 3D animated film.
The book tells the story of a pilot, called The Aviator, who crashes into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film, the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called the Little Girl, whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown-up world. Slowly The Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book, speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing world where anything is possible.
China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions-in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl’s life and tells The Little Prince’s story at the same time in a beautiful way.
Huang Lei, who voices the film together with his 9-year-old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream which is lost by most adults in this stressed-out society (承受巨大压力的社会).
“The most moving part is that every one of us was a good–natured kid like the Little Prince, and it’s a pity that this good characteristic goes away as time flies,” he says.
( ) 48. The book The Little Prince is one of the best-selling books in history because _______.
A. you must know about it if you love reading books
B. it shows The Little Prince’s story in a beautiful way.
C. it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects
D. the director has made it into a 3D animated film.
( ) 49. How does The Little Girl get to know the story of the Little Prince?
A. She reads the pages that The Aviator writes and sends to her.
B. Her mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown–up world.
C. The Aviator takes her to an amazing world.
D. She moves home next to The Aviator.
( ) 50. According to the passage, which is Huang Lei’s opinion?
A. He doesn’t believe the good characteristic is lost as we grow older in this stressed
-out society.
B. He thinks all of us should keepour better nature and never let it disappear.
C. He feels excited because he can see the film in two versions first.
D. He and his daughter voice the film together.
C
It was just three degrees above zero. “That’s cold,” thought Jane as she got ready to deliver (送) her morning papers. Jane had 50 customers (顾客), and on cold mornings when she couldn’t ride her bicycle, it took her more than an hour to make her rounds.
As she collected her papers and put them into a big canvas (帆布) bag, Jane regretted (后悔) that she hadn’t finished her maths homework the night before. There was still time. She would hurry with the papers and finish the maths before breakfast.
Less than an hour later, Jane nearly finished. She had only five customers to go.
She could then go home to finish her maths homework while her Mum cooked breakfast. As she rounded the corner, she saw a car in the middle of the street. It was Mr Zimmerman, the elderly man who walked with a walking stick. His car was out of gas (汽油).
“I’d like to help Mr Zimmerman,” thought Jane, “but if I do, I won’t have time to do my homework.” She hated to think what Mr Robert would say if she didn’t finish papers.
“It’s his own fault (错误) for running out of gas,” Jane talked to herself. “The station is only half a mile down the street. Surely Mr Zimmerman can walk that far, even on a cold morning like this...can’t he?” As she walked down the street, Jane still wondered what to do.
( ) 51. Jane delivered her papers _______.
A. before she went to school B. after breakfast
C. with the help of Mr Zimmerman’s car D. on the way to school
( ) 52. Mr Zimmerman was old and _______.
A. couldn’t drive well B. would have nobody to help him
C. was not rich enough to buy gas D. was not able to walk a long way
( ) 53. The best title for this reading should be _______.

Babies love chocolate and sometimes they also eat the paper around it. My cat enjoys a meal of good, thick paper, old letters, for example. She doesn’t like newspapers very much.
Of course, the best paper comes from wood. Wood comes from trees and trees are plants. Vegetables and fruit are plants too, and we eat a lot of them. So we can also eat wood and paper.
Scientists say, “All food comes in some way from plants.” Well, is that true? Animals eat grass and grow fat, then we eat their meat. Little fish eat little seaplants, then bigger fish swim along and eat them. Chickens eat lots of grass and give us meat. Think for a minute. What food does not come from plants in some way?
Scientists can do wonderful things with plants. They can make food just like meat and cheese. And they can make it without the help of animals. It is very good food, too. Now, they begin to say, “We make our paper from wood, and we can also make food from wood. The next thing is not very difficult.” What is the next thing? Maybe it is food from paper. Scientists say, “We can turn paper into food. It will be good, cheap food too, cheaper than meat or fish or eggs.”
So please keep your old books and letters (Don’t feed them to your cat). One day, soon, they will be on your plate. There is nothing like a good story for breakfast.
( ) 54. According to the passage, which is the best title?
A. Plants, Animals and Food. B. Food from Plants.
C. Keep Your Books and Letters. D. What Can We Make with Old Paper?
( ) 55. The writer asks us to keep our old books and letters because _______.
A. there are always good stories in them B. we can make food from them soon
C. we can read them at breakfast D. they may be used to feed cats
( ) 56. The main idea of this passage is that _______.
A. all food comes from plants in some way
B. scientists can make food with meat or eggs
C. it will not be long before food can be made from paper
D. scientists can do wonderful things with plants
( ) 57. From the passage, we can infer (推断) that _____ don’t come from plants in some way.
