you have a wife and daughter.” But Moresco kept working at his chosen craft.Then in 1983 his young brother Thomas was murdered in a moblinked killing.Moresco moved back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony of Hells Kitchen.HalfDeserted Streets，based on his brothers killing，opened at a small OffBroadway theatre in 1988.A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplay.His reputation grew，and he got enough assignment to move back to Hollywood.By 2003，he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis，a director who had befriended him，Haggis wanted help writing a film about the country after September 11.The two worked on the writing，but every studio in town turned it down.They kept pitching it.Studio executives，however，thought no one wanted to see a severe，honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in modern America.Moresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money，sold his house.He and Haggis kept pushing.At last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance，but the upfront money was too little，Moresco delayed his salary.Crash slipped into the theatres in May 2005，and quietly became both a hit and a critical success.It was nominated for six Academy Awards and won threeBest Picture，Best Film Editing and Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Paul Haggis and the kid from Hells Kitchen.At age 54，Bobby Moresco became an overnight success.“If you have something you want to do in life，dont think about the problems，” he says，“think about other ways to get it done.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇人物传记。文章讲述了Bobby Moresco的职业生涯，他克服各种困难，坚持不懈，最终走向成功。1Rearrange the following statements in terms of time order：aHis work Half-Deserted Streets drew attention as it opened at a small OffBroadway theatre.bUnexpectedly Crash became both a hit and a huge success.cHe moved to Hollywood to be a taxi driver and a waiter.dHe started to learn acting in spite of hardness with the belief of doing something different.eHis younger brother Thomas was killed in conflict among bullies.Ad，c，e，a，b Bd，e，c，b，aCc，d，e，a，b Dc，e，d，b，a答案A细节理解题。文章是按照事件发生的时间顺序介绍Bobby Moresco的奋斗历程的，从开始学习表演到在好莱坞开车、做酒吧侍者到弟弟遇害，再到他的作品引起关注直至一夜成名。故选A项。2Why didnt Bobby Moresco tell anyone that he started taking lessons at age 17?AHe wanted to give his girlfriend a surprise.BHis girlfriend did not allow him to do this.CHe was afraid of being laughed at.DHe had no talent for acting.答案C细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“Fearing their ridicule，he told no one，not even his girlfriend，when he started taking acting lessons at age 17.”可知，他没有告诉别人他正在上表演课是因为他害怕被嘲笑。故选C项。3Which of the following sentences is NOT true?AHis father did not support his work as a bartender.BBefore he became an overnight success，his life experienced ups and downs.CHis brothers death inspired his writing HalfDeserted Streets.DMoresco grew up in New Yorks Hells Kitchen which is a few blocks east of Broadway.答案D正误判断题。根据文章第二段第一句“Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks east.”可知，百老汇在Hells Kitchen的东边，即Hells Kitchen在百老汇西边。因此D项错误。故选D项。4The Studio executives turned the script Crash down because _Athey thought the script would not be popularBthe script was not well writtenCthey had no money to make the film based on the scriptDthey thought Moresco was not famous答案A细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“Studio executives，however，thought no one wanted to see a severe，honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in modern America.”可知，制片商拒绝他的作品是因为担心没人愿意去影院观看。故选A项。5The passage implies that Bobby Moresco _Agave up the job of being a construction workerBhad a dream different from most people in the neighborhoodCstarted writing when he moved to HollywoodDbecame famous thanks to his fathers encouragement答案B推理判断题。根据第一段最后三句中“he started taking acting lessons at age 17.If you were a kid from the neighborhood，you became a.Not an actor.”可知，Moresco的梦想与附近街区人们的梦想是不同的。故选B项。6Which of the following can best describe Bobby Moresco?ACaring and brave.BShy but hardworking.CCreative and persistent.DAggressive and modest.答案C推理判断题。根据文章中描述的Bobby Moresco的形象可知，他是个有理想且能坚持梦想的人，并且最终创作出了优秀的作品。所以他有创造力且有毅力。故选C项。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。【2014高考英语仿真模拟试题】 Its 5:00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise ,I feel extremely tired, but a smile is of my face. Its a smile because the DVD is over , but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit. Some people enjoy shopping, smoking , food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmothers chocolate cake.

Over the years , I have learned its okay to just say “no.” I shouldnt feel sorry for refusing food that I dont want to eat.So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape.
