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 International Film Festival The Berlin International 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. 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(巨大的) media exposure, the Festival is attended by many movie stars and is a popular venue(集合地) 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.‎ ‎21. Which award can be shared by multiple films in one year?‎ ‎ A. Golden Lion.‎ ‎ B. Golden Palm.‎ ‎ C. Academy Awards.‎ ‎ D. San Marco Award.‎ ‎22. 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.‎ ‎23. Which award has the shortest history?‎ ‎ A. Golden Lion.‎ B. Golden Palm.‎ C. Academy Awards.‎ D. San Marco Award.‎ ‎24. Why are the awards for Berlin International Film Festivalcalled “Golden and Silver Bears”?‎ ‎ A. They look like bears.‎ ‎ B. They are made up of bear fur.‎ ‎ C. The bear is the symbol of Berlin.‎ ‎ D. The bear is rare in Berlin.‎ B If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio or the Internet. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.‎ The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are. ‎ It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news, etc.‎ I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actuallyfeed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen. ‎ ‎25. What is the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. The Best Way to Get News ‎ B. The Changes of Media ‎ C. Make Your Own Newspaper ‎ D. The Future of Newspaper ‎26. In the writer’s opinion, in the future, ______.‎ ‎ A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make news ‎ B. newspapers will not be printed in the publishing houses any longer ‎ C. newspapers will cover more scientific research ‎ D. more and more people will watch TV ‎27. What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?‎ ‎ A. Sports and international news.‎ ‎ B. A menu of important news.‎ ‎ C. The most important news.‎ ‎ D. What you are interested in.‎ ‎28. The phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means______.‎ ‎ A. depend on B. match with ‎ C. fight with D. kill off C You wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!‎ Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.‎ Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer.They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.‎ When you communicate with positive people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that, all in all, brings you down.‎ Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to a negative person, but all this is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.‎ Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to (附着) you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.‎ ‎29. How can negative people have effects on us?‎ ‎ A. By telling us the nature if life.‎ ‎ B. By influencing our emotions.‎ ‎ C. By comparing their attitude to life with ours.‎ ‎ D. By changing our way of thinking.‎ ‎30. Some negative people base their happiness on ______.‎ A. other people’s pity for them ‎ B. building up a positive attitude ‎ C. making other people unhappy ‎ D. other people’s respect for them ‎31. According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us, we are advised______.‎ ‎ A. to change negative people’s attitude to life ‎ B. to show our dissatisfaction to negative people ‎ C. to communicate with negative people as little as possible ‎ D. to make negative people feel ashamed of themselves D When Frida Kahlo’s paintings were on show in London, a poet described her paintings as “ a ribbon (丝带) around a bomb”. Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time. Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her ‎ time.‎ Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City, Kahlo suffered from polio(小儿麻痹症) at the age of seven. Her spine (脊柱) became bent as she grew older. Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident. Throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught herself to paint.‎ In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist. Rivera’s strong influence on Kahlo’s style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.‎ Unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s, even in her home country. Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953. For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kahlo’s work remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.‎ ‎32. What does the underlined phrase “a much bigger name” in Paragraph 1 most nearly mean?‎ ‎ A. A far better artist.‎ ‎ B. A far more gifted artist.‎ C. A much stronger person.‎ D. A much more famous person.‎ ‎33. The terrible pain Kahlo suffered was caused by ______.‎ A. polio B. her bent spine C. back injuries D. the operations she had ‎34. Kahlo’s style had become increasingly independent since the ______.‎ A. 1930s B. 1940s C. 1950s D. 1970s ‎35. What is author’s attitude toward Kahlo?‎ A. Devotion. B. Sympathy.‎ C. Worry. D. Encouragement.‎ 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。‎ Choosing the right college for you is not easy. You should have a general idea of what you want and don’t want. The idea can guide you to find what fits your needs best.___36‎ Think about what major you want to study in college. If you know that, just look at colleges that have your major.___37 So think carefully about your major and interests before choosing one.‎ Where the college is located matters. Anyone who tells you the location isn’t important is lying.___38 If you look forward to working in the publishing industry, New York may be your best bet. If your parents want you to stay close to home, please don’t consider anywhere that requires a plane ticket to get to.‎ Think about how much you can afford. Are your parents paying for your education? If so, how much are they willing to spend? Do you have to contribute to anything? Financial aid and scholarship exist, but don’t count on anything. ___39These are all things to consider before you fall in love with a college.‎ Make sure you’re going to spend time with the right people. The cool thing about college is ‎ that each different one attracts different kinds of people. For the first thing in your life, you get to choose where you get to spend your time and who you get to spend it with. ___40 Make sure that the people you’re with for four years are your kind of people.‎ A.

But people now live longer than they 41. Yet, all 42 things still show the effect of aging, which will eventually 43 death. ‎ Aging is not a disease, but as a person passes maturity (成熟期)，the cells of the body and the44 they form do not function as well as they 45 in childhood and teenage years.

Some people think of so. They believe that the Internet helps students make many friends. Chatted online, students can express their feelings and opinions more freely, and even get some help of their foreign languages. But others think quite differently. They insist making friends online is waste of time, that should otherwise be spent on study. Besides, it is often reported that quite a little students get cheated online. It is my opinion what we students should place our study, health and safety first. As for friendship, we can readily find them in our classmates and other people around us. If someone cannot even be friend with the people around him, how can he possible expect a friend online?‎ 第二节书面表达（满分25分）‎ 请根据以下报纸上的招聘启事写一篇求职邮件。‎ Part-time English Assistant Wanted Native language: English ‎ Qualifications: ‎ ‎1.
