1 But not until this century have we managed to capture it, to record it, and in the case of animation, to reinterpret it and recreate it. 2
In the world of cartoon animation, nothing is impossible. You can make the characters you create do
exactly what you want them.
A famous early cartoon character was Felix ,the Cat, created by Pat Sullivan in American in the early
nineteen twenties. 3 He could do all sorts of things no natural cat could do like taking off his tail, using
it as a handle and then putting it back.
Most of the great early animators lived and worked in America, the home of the moving picture
industry. 4 Popeye, the Sailorman and his girl friend Olive Oyl were born at the Max Fleischer studios
in 1933.
But to be an animator, you don"t have to be a professional. 5 All you have to do is draw directly
on to blank film and then run a projector.
B. It is possible for anyone to make a simple animated film without using a camera at all.
C. Felix was a marvelous cat.
D. From earliest times, people have always been fascinated by movement.
E. The moving picture industry really experienced a trough (低谷期), and then achieved the
fabulous(难以置信的) success.
F. Felix, the lovely cat, makes our audience laugh all the time.
G. The famous Walt Disney cartoon characters came to life after 1928.
Does knowledge of a writer"s private life help to explain his works? It"s an age-old question, but it"s
also one in which interest is aroused (激起) again by Antonia Fraser"s book about her life with Harold
Pinter, Must You Go?. The book is obviously a personal account rather than a study of the plays. All the
same, I"d argue it throws a good deal of light on Pinter the dramatist (剧作家).
I start from the belief that all information about a writer is helpful. In fact, one of the pleasures of
writing Pinter"s biography was discovering that nearly all his plays were started by some strong personal
memory. This got me into trouble with some scholars. I remember Martin Esslin, a great Pinter scholar,
arguing that I had reduced the value of Pinter"s Betrayal by linking it to the dramatist"s seven-year-long
love affair with Joan Bake well. But, as I saw it, that was simply the play"s origin. All I had done, I hoped, was to remind people that Pinter was a writer who would make use of his own life experience.
That point can also be seen from Antonia"s book. There"s an interesting account of a dinner with Tom
Stoppard where Pinter says that he doesn"t plan his characters" lives and then asks his fellow dramatist:
"Don"t you find they take you over sometimes?", to which Stoppard firmly replies: "No." That says a lot.
One reason why The Homecoming is a great play is that Pinter allows his characters, almost unconsciously, to take over. Despite Stoppard"s many strengths, he tends to keep his characters under a much tighter
control.
Again, there"s an eye-opening passage in Antonia"s book where she recalls a moment in 1983 when
Pinter refers back to his relationship with his former wife, Vivien: "While she was alive, if you think about
it, so much of my work was about unhappy frozen married relationships."
In short-as Stoppard once wrote-information, in itself, about anything, is light. And modern biography, particularly in the hands of masters, has been helpful to literature by opening writers" lives to public eyes.
For that reason, among many others, I welcome Antonia Fraser"s book.
B. It carries Antonia"s views about biography.
C. It is helpful to the study of Pinter"s works.
D. It includes serious studies of Pinter"s works.
B. The literary value of the accounts of Pinter"s life.
C. The truthfulness of the contents of Antonia"s book.
D. The truthfulness of Pinter"s love affair with Joan Bakewell.
B. Stoppard has more strengths than Pinter.
C. They often have dinners together.
D. They often argue with each other.
B. a book review
C. a news report
D. a biography
The mountain town of Canton is at an elevation(海拔) of
6,000 feet. It is 1 by thick underbrush and pine trees.
Because of six years of drought, thes 2 are a major fire
danger. Thousands of trees and tons of underbrush are going to
be 3 over the next five years at a minimum cost of $ 3
million. The 4 will be removed first, then the trees will
be overturned and removed. A cleared nonflammable area will
then 5 surround the town of 4,000.
Residents look forward to the work, 6 it will help

personal playground. "
A recent fire burned 4,000 acres and destroyed 11 homes
in 10 Hamilton. The fire was raging(汹涌)toward Canton,
but a sudden rainstorm 11 the fire. Residents know that
they won"t get lucky twice, so they are 12 this massive
clearing operation.
Ninety percent of the cutting and clearing will be paid
13 federal funds. Unfortunately, if the trees are on private
property, they must be paid for by the residents 14 . Prices
can range as high as $1,000 to cut and remove one tree.

year-old widow. "I"m living on 17 security. I"ve got four

almost one in five graduates in their late 20s now live with their parents.
By contrast, only one in eight university graduates had failed to fly the nest by the same age 20 years
ago, research from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows. It also found that grown-up sons are
twice as likely as their sisters to still be living with their parents in their late 20s. With nearly a quarter of
men approaching 30 still living at home, the findings are bound to lead to claims of a "generation of
mummy"s boys".
Rising property prices, mounting student debts and the effects of recession on the job market have
forced a wave of young people to move back into the family home at an age when they would normally
be moving out. Young professionals in their late 20s or early 30s have been nicknamed the "boomerang
generation" because of the trend toward returning to the family home having firstly left to study. Recent
research has suggested that young people in Britain are twice as likely to chose to live with their parents
in their late 20s than their counterparts(对手们) elsewhere in Europe. But commentators warned that the
phenomenon may have more to do with young people facing "dire" prospects(景象) than simply a desire
to save money. While the proportion of those of university or college age moving out from the family
home has continued to rise in the last 20 years, among those in their mid and late 20s the trend has been
reversed(颠倒).
Overall 1.7 million people aged from 22 to 29 now share a roof with their parents, including more
than 760,000 in their late 20s, the ONS figures suggest. In 1988 22. 7 per cent of men aged 25 to 29
were still living with their parents but last year the proportion was 24. 5 per cent, according to the ONS.
B. Grown-up sons who are still be living with their parents are twice as likely as their sisters.
C. Young people who live with parents now in Britain are less than elsewhere in Europe.
D. More and more elder people trend to live independently.
B. that they want to take care of their old parents
C. that their parents are badly sick
D. that they face miserable phenomenon
B. now live with their parents
C. leave for college
D. go to work
B. these prospects have nothing to do with the financial crisis
C. more and more young people will live with their parents in the future in Britain
D. the government should be responsible for this
B. Boomerang Generation
C. Living with Their Parents
D. Going back
Do you have a good sense of direction? If not, please take
with you a compass. But if you forget to take a compass, you
can still find your way.
It"s never a good idea to imagine that the family member
who was entrusted (委托) with the job of map-reading actually
knows where the family is. You can tell by the slightly
confused load on their faces that nothing on the ground seems
to match the map. Never mind. The sun is shining and it"s still
morning.If you don"t know the exact time, you can still find
out where south is, but you"ll need to be patient.
①Find a straight stick and put it in the ground in a place
where you can mark its shadow.
②Try to position the stick as vertically(垂直)as you can.
You can check this by making a simple plumb line (铅锤线)
with a piece of string and weight. You haven"t got any string?
OK, use a thread from your clothes with a button tied at the
end to act as a weight.
③Mark the end of the shadow cast by the stick.
④Wait approximately half an hour and mark the end of
the shadow again.
⑤Keep doing this until you have made several marks.
⑥The mark nearest the stick will represent the shortest
shadow, which is cast at midday, when the sun is highest in
the sky and pointing to the exact south.
⑦Pick a point in the distance along the line between the
shortest shadow and the stick.
⑧That point is south of where you are.
⑨Now you can turn the map, like you did before, and
find which way you should be travelling.
B. it is not easy to position the stick
C. it takes hours to make the marks
D. it takes about half an hour to make the marks
B. those who get lost
C. those who make compasses
D. those who do experiments

Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time, some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called _____ .
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person"s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain release the same hormones. They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. in general the person feels excited and ready to act.
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, "Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. "
Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.
