Four of the Most Magical Movies from Your Childhood
Whether it was the enchanting characters, the memorable scenes or simply because it was the first film mum or dad took you to, these are the movies that have felt the most lasting impressions over the decades.
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
“I loved it for two reasons. First, it showed a wonderful, loving extended family. I was fascinated by their kitchen setting and the little corner where the boy Charlie slept. Second, inside the chocolate factory was what all children dreamed of. The whole movie transported me from my childhood worries into a fairyland world.” — Margaret McKee
Dumbo
“For a kid who often felt like he didn’t fit in, and wasn’t good at anything, it was magical to see Dumbo discover his talent and become loved and celebrated.” — Lorraine Cormack
“I loved Dumbo as it showed those who are bullied can win if they believe they can.” — Mary Madigan
The Never Ending Story
“It has to be the most magical movie from my era. The story has everything a young kid can expect: a great story, a mythical flying dog and an interesting ending.” — Aaron Elliott
The Sound of Music
“When I was young, movies were a treat, with lollies, friends and a canvas seat. There was a special one that I did adore, and many times I’ve gone back for more. The songs, the scenery and the storyline always transport me to another time. It is such a classic that my memories of it are so fantastic.” — Joanne Carter

Tasked with photographing one of the world’s most precious big cats, you go deep into the jungle of Southeast Asia and set up a camera trap. Back at base camp, you look through the images it captures, identifying monkeys, otters and finally, what you have been searching for: the mysterious clouded leopard.
All this, without having to leave the comfort of your own home. A new mobile game, turns one of the largest-ever wildlife camera trap studies into a playable experience. The idea is that by letting players take on the role of a researcher in a real scientific study, the game helps people to better understand wildlife conservation science.
The game is based on an ongoing, decade-long camera trap study by professor David Macdonald and his team at the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit at the University of Oxford. The hope is that games can provide new ways for people to engage with endangered animals. “If you don’t have any encounter or experience with elements of nature, then what motivation can you have to take a personal interest in it ” says Macdonald. “ I think that detail of understanding brings a great investment in wanting to see a good outcome.”
It uses real photographs from the study and allow players to identify species within this rapidly worsening environment. “ Of course, everyone loves attractive photography but there’s something just incredibly raw and real about capturing these animals’ moments,” says Macdonald.
“I would like to think that engagement with this game will lead to a feeling of value, which will affect how they think about nature,” says Macdonald. “So, in that sense, we’d like to be part of a revolution on how people view the role of humanity, alongside the wider environment.”
24. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To present a finding. B. To lead to the topic.
C. To advertise a game. D. To demonstrate photographing in the wild.
25. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4
A. The reason for using real photographs in the game.
B. The present situation of the natural environment.
C. The way of making the photos more appealing.
D. The original source of the real photographs.
26. Which of the following is NOT the benefits of the mobile game
A. It popularizes the knowledge about the science of wildlife protection.
B. It offers new methods for developing links with endangered species.
C. It influences people to reflect on more about man and nature.
D. It raises funds for the future research into wildlife.
27. What is Macdonald’s attitude towards the mobile game
A. Doubtful B. Disapproving C. Positive D. Indifferent
C
It’s one of the ultimate tests of willpower: you’ve been wandering around the market for hours and you’re tired and hungry. Then you catch a smell of something fragrant (香的) and delicious, probably fried and almost certainly fattening. Junk food companies are well aware that the smell of their product sets off a desire in your brain and that you’ll pay for that later. It is a response that has been researched, and you’d better believe your favorite fast-food chains have marketing teams that are using that research to their advantage.
Let’s take a closer look at this process. Have you ever noticed that whatever indulgent food (放纵型食品) catches your attention tends to be most appealing just after you first smell it A couple of minutes later you are standing in line, and it isn’t quite inviting as it was just moments ago, but now you’ve invested time, so you trust your first feeling to treat yourself.
But a recent statement says that this is actually the right moment to walk away. Dipayan Biswas, a marketing professor, found there is a direct connection between how long a person is exposed to indulgent food smells and choosing healthier foods. “The results of a series of experiments show that extended exposure of more than two minutes to junk food smells leads to fewer purchases of unhealthy foods compared with no smell or a non-junk-food-related smell,” reads the summary of his study.
What appears to be going on here is that the brain doesn’t necessarily distinguish between a pleasurable smell and a pleasant taste. “Extended exposure to an indulgent food smell brings pleasure in the mind, which in turn reduces the desire for actual consumption of indulgent foods,” he explains. So next time you feel you don’t have the willpower to resist cookies, smell all that sweetness for just a minute or two. To your brain it’s the same as actually eating cookies, and the purchase desire would decrease.
28. What can we learn about junk food smells from the first paragraph
A. They can make a difference in marketing.
B. They hardly affect people’s food choices.
C. They are unlikely to fool wise customers.
D. They finally decrease people’s purchase desire.
29. What does the second paragraph basically serve as
A. An argument. B. An example. C. A comparison. D. A comment.
30. Which statement will Biswas probably agree with
A. The brain can’t tell where sensory pleasure is from.
B. The senses of taste and smell are closely linked.
C. The influence of food smells changes over time.
D. The behavior of smelling food doesn’t equal eating it.
31. Which of the following could the best title for the text
A. Train Your Brain to Resist Junk Food B. Watch Out for Tricky Marketing Tools
C. Food Addiction Is Never About Willpower D. Smelling Junk Food Longer Can Keep You Off It
D
A culture that values achievement and progress will discourage people from “wasting” time. In religious societies, customs specify times of the day, week, or year for prayer and religious celebrations. If an individual tries to make an appointment during a sacred holiday, he or she could unknowingly offend a religious person. Social manners determine appropriate times for visit, meetings, and even phone calls.
Punctuality is important in American business, academic and social settings. The importance of punctuality is taught to young children in school. People who keep appointments are considered dependable. If people are late to job interviews, appointments or classes, they are often viewed as unreliable and irresponsible. In the business world, “time is money” and companies may fine their executives for being late to business meetings. Of course, it was not always possible to be punctual. Social and business manners also provide rules for late arrivals. Calling on the telephone if one is going to be more than a few minutes late for scheduled appointments is considered polite and is often expected. Keeping a date or a friend waiting beyond ten to twenty minutes is considered rude. On the other hand, arriving thirty minutes late to some parties is acceptable.
Respecting deadlines is also important in academic and professional circles. It is expected that deadlines for class assignments or business reports will be met. Whether it is a question of arriving on time or of meeting a deadline, people are culturally conditioned to regulate time.
Time is tangible; one can “gain time”, “spend time”, “waste time”, “save time”, or even “kill time”! The treatment of time as a possession influences the way time is carefully divided. Generally, Americans are taught to do one thing at a time and may be uncomfortable when an activity is interrupted. Visitors who “drop by” without prior notice may interrupt their host’s personal time. Thus, calling friends on the telephone before visiting them is generally preferred to visitors “dropping by”. To accommodate other people’s schedules. Americans make business plans and social engagements several days or weeks in advance.
32. Who are considered reliable and responsible according to the passage
A. People who make appointments during sacred holidays.
B. People who always have good plans and save time.
C. People who would not like to disturb others
D. People who are punctual for appointments
33. The word “tangible” in Paragraph 4 can be best replaced by___________ according to the passage.
A. limited B. flexible C. valuable D. material
34. Which of the following statements about American social life is TRUE
A. Americans treat time so carefully as to bear unexpected interruption.
B. Americans visit their friends without noticing them in advance.
C. Americans prefer being visited to being called on the telephone.
D. Americans make business plans and social engagements beforehand.
35. What is this passage mainly concerned with
A. How Americans have a future orientation. B. How Americans are influenced by their religion.
C. How time is regulated and perceived in the US. D. How achievement and progress are valued in the US.

Raising teenagers can be both difficult and rewarding(有回报的). They are becoming young adults. Almost all teenagers will have some behavioral outbursts(爆发) with their families during this period of life. 36 Here are some ideas that may create positive(积极的) experiences for teens and parents.
Have meals together. Mealtime is when we check in with each other. 37 Eating meals together offers a way for parents and kids to share what is on their minds. It brings families closer by creating trust and understanding to help guide children through the challenges of the teen years.
38 As teens develop their own sense of independence, it gets harder to find time to talk. Talk in the car together, when doing dishes together, or any time you have a chance. Remember that no matter how big their problems seem, what most teens want is love and support. Help them connect with their families and communities. During these years, help teens learn that their words and actions mater. 39 Others may find connection through spiritual communities or from having more responsibilities at home. Connecting with families and communities also helps keep teens safe from riskier activity.
Find time to have fun together! What do you both enjoy Playing chess Going to the ballet Volunteering in your community Take time to have fun and enjoy each other’s company. No one wants the attention of people they love to be focused only on what not to do. This is true for teenagers, too. 40

B. Never try to control your child.
C. Parents have a role in keeping their teens safe.
D. Relaxing together helps them feel loved and valued.
E. This can be hard to do with busy schedules, but it is important.

Neha was very upset because her little sister spilled water on her science project. This was not the first time that her sister had damaged her schoolwork. So, Neha asked her parents to buy her a study table with drawers where she could safely keep her books.
Neha's parents could not afford to buy a brand new table. However, they agreed to buy her a second-hand table. One day after school, Neha's mother took her to a second-hand furniture store, so that she could buy a table of her choice. Neha accidentally opened a drawer in an old black table. And, guess what she found A small transparent (透明的) plastic bag with some rupee (卢比) notes inside.
“Am I the luckiest twelve-year-old My birthday is coming up soon. With this money, I can buy myself a great many presents ... maybe a bicycle, books, dresses ... and maybe I can even buy things for my family,” Neha thought. She was overcome with greed (贪婪) and quickly pushed the bag to the back of the drawer.
She went to her mother and told her that she wanted to buy that black table. Neha's mother told her that the table looked too old and she should look for something better. “No! I like this one,” Neha insisted. She was feeling scared inside but her greed made her lie.
Neha could not wait until everybody left after the table was organized in her room. She
locked the room and quickly opened the drawer and took out the plastic bag with the rupee notes inside. There was a note in the money bag. It seemed that some old lady was saving the money for her children and grandchildren. Neha began counting the money. She could hear her heart beat louder and louder and finally she counted twelve thousand rupees.
But now, with all the money she had, she thought she would have to make up many lies in order to spend that money and would have to hide the money all the time.

66. Dear George,
I’m writing to ask for your help. Our school will hold an English Poetry Reading Contest next weekend. I’m eager to have a try.
It’s required that theme should be about nature. Each contestant is given up to five minutes to read the poem. So would you please be so kind to give me some recommendations on which poem to choose Besides, what I need are the skills of recitation, including pronunciation and intonation, which will perfect my performance.
I’d appreciate it if you could give me some advice. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,

67. One possible version:
With her heart still racing, Neha gathered the strength to face up to what she had done. She called her parents into her room, her eyes filled with determination. As they entered, she handed them the plastic bag filled with the unexpected treasure. “Mom, Dad, I found this, but I know it’s not mine,” she said, her voice steady. “Let’s return it and find the rightful owners. I don’t want to keep something that doesn’t belong to me.” Her parents exchanged a look of pride and immediately agreed. They wrapped their arms around Neha, offering words of encouragement.
Together, the three of them went back to the store, where the shop owner offered to help. They discovered that the money belonged to an elderly woman who had sold the old black table to the store but forgot to take out the bag in the drawer. So they immediately contacted with the woman and returned the money. Seeing the genuine happiness she had brought to the woman’s life, Neha finally let out a sigh of relief. “This birthday,” she thought, “I’ve gained something more valuable than any gift — the restoration of my honesty.”
