11、列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。21（6分）J.K. Rowling is the author of the most successful book series in history, but her attempt to take on a new career as a screenwriter hasnt been as smooth as she may have thought it would be. The sequel(续篇), “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”, shows that

12、even the most successful author in the world is in need of checks and balances when making the transition to cinema.Following the sale of half a billion copies of the Harry Potter series, Rowling is working hard to extend and enrich the mythology she created around the child wizard. In contrast to t

13、he eight Harry Potter movies, which were based on the seven books and most of which were written by experienced screenwriter Steve Kloves, the “Fantastic Beasts” series is scripted only by Rowling. This time she skipped the bookstores and went straight to the movie theater.The “Fantastic Beasts” ser

14、ies takes its title from one of Harry Potters textbooks. The leap backward in time, a new set of adult heroes and a globe-spanning background show that Rowling is in tune with her fans and the spirit of the times. Harry Potter and his friends started out as a typical product of 1990s naivety, but si

15、nce then the loyal veteran audience has experienced the shocks of the 21st century and grown mature and discouraged. The “Fantastic Beasts” series feel less like childrens fare; they deal with adults and frightening events that occurred in Europe at the end of the 1920s.Its 193, and the criminal Gri

16、ndelwald has escaped from prison to Europe. The hero, Newt Scamander, a zoologist of fantastic beasts, prefers to distance himself from politics and maintain his improvised nature reserve in London. But the young Prof. Dumbledore reminds him that neutrality is not an option in hard times. Dumbledore

17、 urges him to cross the Channel to Paris and stop Grindelwald, who is trying to plot a war to ensure the purity of the wizard race.The rough outline of the plot constitutes only part of the movie. There are many other characters who appear in the mystery. I will mention the boy Credence who continue

18、s to have a central role in the struggle between the hero and the villain, even as his background remains a mystery. Similarly, Newts brother and partner, the snake-woman Nagini, and other new and old characters hint at an obscure past and future. Rowling populates her world with characters large an

19、d small, odd beasts and simplifies its story to lay the foundation work of the universe. The film lays strong foundations of mystery, but forgets to build any sort of structure above them. Its like a construction site where the budget ran out too fast.With movie screens full of superheroes and fanta

20、sy films, and every studio trying to float a fictional universe, Rowling is todays most creative builder of cinema worlds, but theres still a difference between her and a mega-corporation like Disney. Every character and beast is there because Rowling said so, not because the marketing division thou

21、ght it would promote sales of merchandise. Rowling clearly has a true passion to create a mythology, and just as clearly, she hasnt yet finished creating it.The “Fantastic Beasts” series offers a world even fuller than that of Harry Potter. Once more she collaborates with David Yates, who directed t

22、he last four Harry Potter movies and now the two “Fantastic Beasts” pictures. Still, the world shes created would be even more wondrous if Rowling had only filled it out with a crystallized or at least coherent plot. In the Harry Potter series, she mostly succeeded in making the films into independe

23、nt works. But without experienced screenwriters to mediate between her imagination and the screen, the two “Fantastic Beasts” episodes are more like a chess game in which the creator moves characters from A to B as part of a broader strategywhich remains unclear.“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grin

24、delwald” is a film made for existing fans and doesnt bother to appeal to a new audience. Not by chance does it offer a more mature world for fans who have grown up at least as much as Daniel Radcliffe. For them, the movie delivers the goods, but little of the magic remains. If Rowling continues to p

25、ut out films without a beginning and an end, her world will collapse, leaving only the middle. It may be entertainment with captivating characters and effects, but its not a movie.1、What changes has J.K. Rowling made in her writing career?AShe was forced to abandon her original writing career and st

26、art a new one.BShe was determined to skip the bookstores and publish books on her own.CShe started a new fantasy book having nothing to do with the Harry Potter series.DShe tried to enrich the Harry Potter series as a screenwriter rather than a novelist.2、Who are probably the target audience of the

27、“Fantastic Beasts” series?AKids newly introduced to magic. BTeenage students with grand dreams.CAdults going through life changes. DProfessional critics of fantasy books.3、What are the features of the “Fantastic Beasts” series?AComplex story and exciting characters.BSimple story but abundant charact

28、ers.CChildish story and strange characters.DSad story but inspiring characters.4、Big corporations like Disney choose movie characters and beasts based on _.Apotential profitability of the movies Bpreference of their screenwritersCconsultation with the original author Dinvestigation into successful f

29、ilms5、How does the author explain Rowlings failure to create a clear plot?ABy describing shooting processes. BBy listing official statistics.CBy drawing a comparison. DBy citing examples.6、What does the author think of J. K. Rowlings performance as a screenwriter?AIt is really a disappointment for m

30、ovie goers.BIt is widely acknowledged by her book fans.CThere exits much more magic in her screenplay.DThere is still much room for improvement.22（8分）Can animals be artistic? Painting and music are part of efforts to keep animals happy at the Smithsonians National Zoo.A sloth bear (长毛熊) called Franc

31、ois is one of the National Zoos artists. He began his artistic career two years ago. Francois has a very unusual way to paint. He uses his breathing to paint. His zookeeper, Stacey Tabellario, says that although the technique may look strange, it is actually a very natural behavior for sloth bears.

32、The zookeepers fill one of those tubes full of paint and ask them to breathe through it. And they blow all of the paints onto the canvases (画布), making these really cool paintings.Animal artists come in all shapes and sizes at the Zoo. They use many kinds of techniques to create their works of art.

33、Apes use paintbrushes. Many use their paws or clawsmuch like a human painter who would use his or her hands.Stacey Tabellario says Francois seems to enjoy expressing himself through his art. “When I set up the materials for painting activity, he comes and sits next to them and waits until they are r

34、eady for painting. He does that every time. I also see where his eyes go. He does see the paints come out of the tube and land on the canvas.”But not every animal wants to paint. Music is another part of the arts enrichment program. Physically and mentally stimulating activities are an important par

35、t of the daily care of the animals. Trainers have a lot of tools, from tablet computer to small toys.Kenton Kerns says the program helps the animals and the zookeepers in many ways. Every interaction between keepers and their animals creates some sort of connections. The one-of-a-kind works of art c

36、reated by the animals are popular with zoo visitors. Many are sold at the zoos fund-raising events.1、From Paragraph 2, we can learn that _.AFrancois is a two-year-old artist at the National ZooBFrancois can make fantastic paintings with paintbrushesCFrancois, way to paint is an unnatural behavior fo

37、r sloth bearsDFrancois paints by blowing the paints in the tubes onto the canvas2、According to the passage, the apes paint by _.Ablowing the tubes full of paintsBusing their hands directlyCusing some toolsDwalking on the canvas3、From the last paragraph, we can learn the works of art created by the a

38、nimals _.Acan be sold at a high priceBare mainly popular with the kidsCcreate higher prices than the artistsDcan be bought at the zoos fund-raising events4、Whats the main idea of the passage?AZoo animals show artistic side.BPainting and music are useful in the zoo.CAnimals enjoy painting.DAnimals ne

39、ed enrichment too.23（8分）If Confucius(孔子) were alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. Hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the Unite

40、d States will give him a passing thought. Its nothing personal. Most Americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But that doesnt mean that Americans dont care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper un

41、derstanding of China.In the past twenty years, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of

42、 Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of(利用) ancient Chinese wisdom to make up the drawbacks(缺陷) Western philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese.

43、So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinkers ideas are still alive and well. Today China attracts the West more t

44、han ever, and it will need more to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West. As for the old thinker, he will not be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.1、The opening paragraph is mainly intended to _.Aprovide some key facts about ConfuciusBattract the readers interest

45、 in the subjectCshow great respect for the ancient thinkerDprove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations2、We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students _.Atake an active part in Chinese competitionsBtry to get high scores in Chinese examsChave a great interest in studying ChineseDfight

46、 for a chance to learn Chinese3、What is the best title for this passage?AForgotten Wisdom in AmericaBHuge Fans of the Chinese LanguageCChinese Culture for WesternersDOld Thinker with a Big Future4、The passage is likely to appear in _.Aa biography Ba history paperCa philosophy textbook Da newspaper24

47、（8分）Senses That Work TogetherWhen we think about how our senses work, we usually imagine them operating separately: you sniff a flower, and the smell is delivered uninterrupted from nose to brain. However, it s more complex than that. Most evidence for cross-modal perception (知觉) comes from studies

48、into sound and vision (视觉).But research that shows other senses crossing over is coming out all the time, and it seems that even sound and smell sometimes form an unlikely pairing.When New York researchers, Daniel Wesson and Donald Wilson, tried to find out the truth about a “ mysterious” area of th

49、e brain called the olfactory tubercle, they had to deal with this fact. Originally,they only intended to measure how olfactory tubercle cells in mice responded to smell. But during testing,Wesson noticed that every time he put his coffee cup down, the mouse cells jumped in activity. In fact,the olfa

50、ctory tubercle is well-placed to receive both smell and sound information from the outside world.Later they found that among separate cells, most responded to a smell but a significant number were also active when a sound was made. Some cells even behaved differently when smell and sound were presen

51、ted together, by increasing or decreasing their activity.Of course, mice aren t people, so research team has been carrying out further experiments. They pulled together a group of people and gave them various drinks to smell. Participants were asked to sniff the drinks, and then match them to approp

52、riate musical instruments and produce the notes at different levels. The results were interesting: piano was regularly paired with fruity fragrances; strong smells sounded like the instruments that are made of metal.Further research found that listening to different sounds can change your perception

53、s. Studying taste this time, the team ordered some special toffee (太妃糖) and put together “ soundscapes” corresponding to bitterness and sweetness. Participants tasted similar pieces of toffee while listening to each soundscape, and found the toffee more bitter or sweeter, depending on which soundtra

54、ck they were listening to.Studies like this are helping scientists correctly describe our understanding of the senses, and how the brain combines them with its advantage. The consequences are worth considering. Could we see musicians work together with chefs to produce sound-improved food and drink?

55、 Will you be ordering a coffee with a soundtrack to bring out your favorite smell? Come to think of it, that could be one thing you hope coffee shop chains don t get round to.1、What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?AA lot of research focuses on the senses.BSound and vision are relati

56、vely easy to study.CThere can be a link between sound and smell.DEvidence about the way senses work is hard to obtain.2、In Wesson and Wilson s research, _.Athe mice were affected more significantly by soundBthe result confirmed what the researchers had suspectedCthe mice seemed to be afraid of certa

57、in sounds or smellsDthe connection between sound and smell was found by chance3、What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?AParticipants took an active part in the experiments.BThe purpose of the further experiments was totally different.CThe result failed to support what was found in previous experiments

58、.DExperiments showed that links between sound and smell were consistent.4、How does the author feel about the effect of the research?AShe is excited about the creative chances.BShe is surprised at the recent developments.CShe is convinced that the findings will be used soon.DShe is worried about how

59、the knowledge can be applied.25（10分） Pigeons in London have a bad reputation. Some people call them flying rats. And many blame them for causing pollution with their droppings. But now the birds are being used to fight another kind of pollution in this city of 8.5 million.“The problem for air pollut

60、ion is that its been largely ignored as an issue for a long time,” says Andrea Lee, who works for the London-based environmental organization Client Earth. “People dont realize how bad it is, and how it actually affects their health.” Londons poor air quality is linked to nearly 10,000 early deaths
