高考真题周周练（14）阅读理解a about twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio (影棚) to take part in a crowd-scene. although our act would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things. we all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. the director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. a big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in snow. two more fans were turned on, and a strong wind blew through the trees. the picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.the next scene was a complete contrast (对比). the way it was filmed was quite unusual. pictures taken on an island in the pacific were shown on a glass screen (幕). an actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the waters edge on an island. by a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. for a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film stars!21. who is the author?

for starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. 40 to really develop empathy, youd better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.a. everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.b. that could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.c.“one doesnt develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,” freed says.d.humans learn by example and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.e.empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else both what they think and how they feel.f.good social skills including empathy are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life.g.having relationships with other people is an important part of being human and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.完形填空 it was the night before the composition was due. as i looked at the list of topics (题目), the art of eating spaghetti (意大利面条) caught my eye. the word spaghetti brought back the 41 of an evening at uncle allens in belleville 42 all of us were seated around the table and aunt pat 43 spaghetti for supper. spaghetti was an exotic (外来的) treat in 44 days. never had i eaten spaghetti, and 45 of the grown-ups had enough experience to be 46 it. what laughing 47 we had about the 48 respectable method for moving spaghetti from plate to mouth. 49 , i wanted to write about that, but i wanted to 50 it down simply for my own 51 , not for mr. fleagle, my composition teacher. 52 , i would write something else. when i finished it the night was half gone and there was no 53 left to write a proper composition for mr. fleagle. there was no choice next morning but to 54 my work. two days passed before mr. fleagle returned the 55 papers. he said, now, class, i want to read you a composition, the art of eating spaghetti. my words! he was reading my words out 56 to the whole class. 57 laughed, then the whole class was laughing with open-hearted enjoyment. i did my best not to show 58 , but what i was feeling was pure happiness, 59 my words had the power to make people 60 .41. a. memory b. thoughtc. knowledge d. experience42. a. when b. where c. since d. after43. a. cooked b. served c. got d. made44. a. their b. pastc. lastd. those45. a. none b. one c. some d. neither46. a. careful about b. good at c. fond of d. interested in47. a. speeches b. lessons c. sayingsd. arguments48. a. nearly b. naturally c. officially d. socially49. a. especially b. probably c. suddenlyd. fortunately50. a. settle b. put c. taked. let51. a. work b. story c. luck d. joy52. a. however b. therefore c. as for him d. except for that53. a. time b. excuse c. way d. idea54. a. give upb. continue c. hand ind. delay55.
