Venice Film Festival

The Venice Film Festival takes place every year in late August or early September on the Lido in the historic Palazzo del Cinema, in Venice, Italy. Its main award is the “Leone d’Oro” (Golden Lion). Recently, a new award has been added, the San Marco Award for the best film.

Academy Awards

The Academy Awards are the most prominent film awards in the United States. The awards are granted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Academy Awards are nicknamed “Oscars”, which is also the nickname of the statuette（小雕像）. The name is said to have been born when Margaret Herrick saw the statuette on a table and said, “It looks just like my uncle Oscar!”

Berlin Film Festival

The Berlin Film Festival is one of the “A” festivals in Europe. The Berlin International Film Festival, also called the “Berlinale”, is held annually in February and started in 1951 after an initiative of the American, who occupied part of the city after World War Ⅱ. The jury（专家评奖团）always places special emphasis on representing films from all over the world, from the former Eastern Bloc（集团）Countries as well as from Western countries. The awards are called Golden and Silver Bears (as the bear is the symbol of Berlin).

Cannes Film Festival

The Cannes Film Festival is a famous international film festival. It has been held annually in Cannes in the south of France, since 1946 with a few exceptions. Given massive media exposure, the Festival is attended by many movie stars and is a popular venue for movie producers to launch their new films and attempt to sell their works to the distributors who come from all over the world.

The most famous award given out at Cannes is the “Palme d’Or” (Golden Palm) for the best film; this is sometimes shared by multiple films in one year.

1. Which award can be shared by multiple films in one year?

A Golden Lion. B. Golden Palm.

C. Academy Awards. D. San Marco Award.

2. Which of the following statements about “Oscars” is NOT true?

A. It’s the nickname of Academy Awards.

B It’s also the nickname of the statuette.

C. It got its name because Margaret said the statuette looked like his uncle.

D. It’s an award in France.

It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable(不自在) when they are with their parents. They say that their parents don’t understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are too serious and too strict with their children; and that they seldom give their children a free hand.

It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when young. They show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Older people worry more easily. Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset(扰乱) by something unexpected.

When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.

Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older people’s world, into which they have not yet been accepted. That’s why young people want to make a new culture(文化) of their own. And if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.

Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents’ control.

If you plan to control your life, you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility(责任), they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.

4. This article is particularly written for_____ .

A. parents B. both parents and their children

C. young people D. teachers

5. According to the text, young people tend to_________.

A. ask for advice before they really start to do anything

B. do things without thinking carefully ahead

C. be very strict with themselves

D. think in the same way as their parents do

6. According to the text, young people want to make a new culture of their own, because_______.

A. they want to show they have grown up

B. they do not want to get into trouble

C. they feel they are cleverer than the older people

D. they don’t feel they belong to the world of the older people

7. If a young man plans to control his own life, it’s better for him to_________.

A. do everything according to his own wish

B. do everything the way his parents do

C. do everything under his parents’ control

D. do everything with a high sense of responsibility

C

I sat in my old room, looking at the football on the shelve, feeling it laughing at me.

In college at Baylor, I’d been a star wide receiver, dreaming of making it big in the NFL, But I wasn’t picked in the NFL draft. Then I started as an undrafted free agent with the Indianapolis Colts. However, Colts called me back to practice. A second chance! Then something went wrong with my knee and I had to give it up. The next season, the Seattle Seahawks invited me to minicamp. They cut me at the end of the preseason.

Was that my fate? How would I move forward? I wept bitter tears. Then I got a call unexpectedly. A guy asked me to speak in his school. I wrote down all I should say. But the minute I stepped on stage, my mind went blank. I had no idea how to help these teens. All I could talk about was what I’d been through.

Those kids asked me questions afterward, hungry for more. I got a huge welcome, bigger than I ever got on the football field. That’s when it hit me: You needn’t be perfect to help people. All you have to be is real.

My life was coming. Without planning it, I had a whole new calling. I began posting to YouTube every day. The videos took off, getting thousands of views. It was inspiring. The comments and questions came pouring in. People came to ask for advice and help I’d never be able to offer if I were playing on Sunday.

Today I do many speaking engagements. Every day I post a video and respond to all those questions from people, always speaking from the heart, I’m still in progress. We all are, having  so many ways to grow, and so much to learn and pass along.

8. Which can best describe the author’s dream of playing in the NFL?

A. Unreal. B. Funny. C. Failed. D. Strange.

9. How did the author feel when he was making the first speech?

A. Confident. B. Pleased. C. Bored. D. Nervous.

10. What can we know about the author?

A. He is warm-hearted.

B. He is good-looking.

C. He wants to be a player.

D. He wants to ask for advice.

11. What may be the best title for the text?

A. Find a way to get success

B. Be yourself to help others

C. Make progress little by little

D. Stick to your dream to the end

D

There is an old saying in English: “Laughter is the best medicine”. Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to investigate laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found evidence that laughter really can improve people’s health.

Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films, while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.

Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be capable of reducing the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group, which tolerated the pain for the longest time, was the group, which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins（内啡肽）in the brain. These are natural chemicals that diminish both stress and pain.

There is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the body’s immune system, that is, the system which fights infection. In an experiment, one group of students watched a funny video while another group served as the control group-in other words, a group with which to compare the first group. Doctors checked the blood of the students in both groups and found that the people in the group that watched the video had an increase in the activity of their blood cells, that is, the cells which fight infection.

As a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists（精神病学家）in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients’ conditions by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.

12. We learn from the first paragraph that laughter              .

A. is good for one’s health. B. is related to some illness.

C. has been investigated long since. D. has no effect on the body.

13 Doctors have found that laughter               .

A. keeps down blood pressure. B. has similar effects to physical exercise.

C. decreases the heart rate. D. increases stress.

14. Which of the following statements is NOT true of laughter, according to the passage?

A. It reduces pain. B. It exercises the body.

C. It improves the body’s immune(免疫的)system. D. It can cure  cancer.

15. In a laughter clinic, doctors             .

A. laugh at their patients. B. encourage their patients to laugh.

C. smile when they don’t feel like laughing. D. never stop laughing.

第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Everyone sleeps. However, taking the time to develop a sleep habit is probably the last thing on your mind and some sleep advice simply can’t be forgotten. ______16______.

Watching TV until you fall asleep

It has nothing to do with what you watch —TV news isn’t a better pre-sleep choice than TV series.

_____17_____. The bright light keeps you awake all the night. So even if you nod off (in front of the TV, for example), you probably won’t stay asleep for long.

Sleeping with pets

______18______. They get comfortable, and then they move. This goes on all night, and whether you admit it or not, it interrupts your ability to get the level of sleep needed to feel rested.

Eating fatty, heavy foods too close to bedtime

Heartburn (烧心、胃痛) strikes anyone of any age, but it’s the most common GI disorder (胃肠失调) in older adults. If you’ve ever tried to go to sleep after eating a fatty meal, you’ve probably found the discomfort of stomach preventing you from falling asleep or staying asleep.

___19___

Remember how poorly you sleep when you have a fever—turning over and over again, never really feeling rested? Well, heavy exercise too close to bedtime has the same effect—it raises your body temperature so that your sleep is disturbed until your body temperature drops to normal, which may take several hours.

Accepting snoring (打呼噜) as normal sleep behavior

Snoring may seem as common as breathing, but it’s considered the biggest sleep killer, and it’s linked to several causes: sleeping on your back, being overweight, having a cold, drinking, or taking drugs. ______20______. For the snorer, it disturbs sleep by awakening him/her every so often in order to breathe normally. For the partner, the noise can be unbearable.

A. Exercising heavily too close to bedtime

B. Here are some suggestions you’ll need to follow

C. Reducing your body temperature before bedtime

D. Rather it’s the TV’s bright light that is the criminal

E. Here are some bad habits you need to get rid of

F. Most seriously, it’s caused by a dangerous illness

G. Pets sleep most of the day, and they move a lot when sleeping
