His decision to cast Marlon Brando in the lead also met with fierce opposition from the studio bosses. Good sense became popular, and The Godfather went on to become one of the most memorable movies ever. Critics may point out that he has become less creative after his seventies, but try as one might, no one can possibly take the place of this great director's work.Stanley Kubrick's movies focus on the themes like sci-fi, horror, dark humor and war. He used symbolism in most of his movies, giving us some wonderful screen visuals, as shown in 2001: A Space Odyssey. His actors in Hollywood complained about the endless number of retakes, but they appreciated the performance he milked out of them. People argue about films like Lolita, A Clockwork Orange and Paths of Glory, but these are now seen as classics.Steven Spielberg is a great success at the box office, and he is one of the world's most popular filmmakers today. As the creator of classics like Schindler's List, Jurassic Park, ET, Indiana Jones series, Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, no one can win his hold over the audience. His critics accuse him of being emotional and over the top, but the fact remains that his movies attract the audience and set the cash registers ringing.Woody Allen is a director who directs movies full of crime and hate. This comic genius has given us Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters and Midnight in Paris, which have also become classical. His movies constantly include characters who arouse the audience's sympathy and laughter at the same time, as they set out on a journey of self-discovery. Hollywood star power has never fazed Allen. Thankfully, awards and honors do not interest him, which results in creativity that is original.1. What do the directors mentioned in the passage have in common?A. They are interested in awards for their works.B. They have created a lot of movies taken as classics.C. They are members of the New Hollywood gang.D. They focus their themes on the negative side of society.2. Stanley Kubrick's works include the following except _____.A. Midnight in ParisB. 2001: A Space OdysseyC. A Clockwork OrangeD. Paths of Glory3. It is implied in the underlined sentence that Steven Spielberg _____.A. was successful in amusing the audienceB. had set a cash register working for himselfC. became much better at creating classicsD. succeeded in making a great box office4. What will be discussed in the paragraph that follows this passage?A. Their contribution to society.B. Another famous movie director.C. The difference between the directors.D.

Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas city in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.Fortunately he had a strong-willed caring mother. John remembered that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe.”She told him not to depend on others, including his mother. “You have to earn success, ”she said. “All the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing and hard work don’t mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15, to Chicago.Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for. John’s mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power of words—as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.While others discouraged him, John’s mother offered him more words to live by. “Nothing beats a failure but a try. ”She also let him pawn(典当)her furniture to get the $ 500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always keeps his mother’s words in mind. “Son, failure is not in your vocabulary!”Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America—worth $ 150 million.1. John’s mother decided to move to Chicago because _____.A. his father died when John was very youngB. life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometownC.

John’s mother _____.A. didn’t believe in or depend on othersB. thought one could be whatever one wanted to beC. believed one would succeed without working hardD. thought no one could succeed without working hard3. The underlined sentence “Nothing beats a failure but a try.”means _____.A. if you try, you would succeedB. a failure is difficult to beat, even if you tryC. a try is always followed by a failureD. no failure can be beaten unless you try4. The story mainly tells us _____.A. how John H. Johnson became successfulB. about the mental support John’s mother gave himC. about the importance of a good educationD. about the key to success for blacks【答案】CDDB【解析】【试源】2016届陕西省渭南市合阳中学高二下学期期中考试【结束】20.【题文】Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably couldn’t describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face”looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a “nice person”, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, moderate, friendly, warm and so on.There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms.People have always tried to “type”each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s or the hero’s role. In fact, the words “person”and “personality”come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask”. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the “good guys”from the “bad guys”because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.1. By using the example of fingerprints, the author tells us that _____.A. people can learn to recognize facesB. people have different personalitiesC. people have difficulty in describing the features of fingerprintsD. people differ from each other in facial features2. According to this passage, some animals have the gift of ____.A. telling people apart by how they behaveB. typing each otherC. telling good people from bad peopleD. recognizing human faces3. Who most probably knows best how to describe people’s personality?A. The ancient Greek audience.B. The movie actors.C. Psychologists.D. The modern TV audience.4. According to the passage, it is possible for us to tell one type of person from another because_______.A. human faces have complex featuresB. human fingerprints provide unique informationC. people’s behavior can be easily described in wordsD. people differ in their behavioral and physical characteristics【答案】DDBD【解析】【试源】2016届陕西省渭南市合阳中学高二下学期期中考试【结束】1.【题文】One day a doctor was starting his morning works.

Careless ways of production (生产)and lack of consumer(消费者)demand for environment friendly products have led to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass ,paper ,plastic,and metal containers are produced ,and these are difficult to get rid of .However, today ,more and more consumers are choosing “green” and dem anding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these : “Will this shampoo damage the environment ?” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once ? ”A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it .This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green ,” that is ,friendly to the environment .Only a few years ago ,it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets ,but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels(标签)to show that the product is green .Some companies have made the manufacturing(生产)of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize(强调) it in their advertisements .The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business .No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it ,use it ,throw it away ,and forget it .”The public pressure is on ,and gradually business is cleaning up its act .1.

I was raised to respect others and value education. “You can be anything you want to be,” my parents always say.

After all, both of my parents are college graduates with many degrees. Even after I decided that I'd rather get married to a man who was so clearly wrong for me than go to college at 16, they never stopped telling me that they loved me and that I could do anything I wanted to do. Thankfully, they talked some sense into me(开导我别干傻事). I graduated from high school and currently attend the University of Oklahoma. I want to make the world a better place.

I know we‟ve heard this all before, but it is much more difficult to do so in practice. I am always told that judging a person by what others say or my first impression is usually wrong.It‟s so easy to make assumptions (臆想) and expect about someone, just to find out they were completely false. I know I‟ve done this too many times! The shy girl turns out to be one of the funniest girls I ever met, the selfish girl is actually very sensitive and loving, the cocky boy is not sure of himself and so on.I hope there is a world where we stop judging a person by what they wear, their hairstyle, their job, their car; and we simply love and accept them for who they are. Someone may have a bad hair because they over slept, or their clothes don‟t match beca use their house burned down and lost everything. All I‟m saying is, “Can we focus more on what‟s going on inside a person rather than the outside?”There are so many people who seem like everything is just fine on the outside, but the inside is angry or hu rting. They don‟t know how to just be themselves or they‟re afraid to because they may be thought of as the “crazy” or “strange” person. I know because I used to be that person.I truly believe everything begins with ourselves. Before we can really stop judging others by the outside we must stop judging ourselves. We must know how we treat ourselves first. Let‟s stop getting in our own way and accept ourselves and others as we are.1. The underlined word “cocky” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________.A. lovelyB. cleverC. proudD. stupid2. When we judge a person, we should pay more attention to ___________.A. what he wearsB. what he does or hasC. our first feelings and thoughtsD. what‟s going on inside him3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Some people hope that everything is fine on the outside.B. So many people think of themselves as crazy or strange.C. We should be ourselves and accept ourselves as we are.D. We must learn how we treat others first, not ourselves.4. What‟s the best title for the passage?A. Don‟t judge a book by its cover.B. Judge a person by his outside.C. Learn to just be yourselves.D. Accept what you and others are.【答案】CDCA【解析】【试源】2017届甘肃省兰州一中高一下学期期中考试【结束】13.【题文】Our travel experts are eager to assist you with your cheap flight tickets and package deal bookings.

Your talkative seatmate doesn't understand your need for sleep. And the aircraft's bathroom is a total mess. These situations can make even a short flight unbearable. Hopefully you don't cause these unpleasant experiences for others. 1 .Always recline(向后倾斜) your seat slowly. There's nothing worse than suddenly being hit in the knees by the seat in front of you. In addition, don't keep your seat reclined for the entire flight. Always keep it upright during mealtimes. And remember to put it in the upright position before going to the restroom (or anytime you leave your seat).2 Wait until the meal is done and all the food trays(盘子) have been collected. It's hard for passengers to stand up to let you pass when they still have their food trays. And when using the bathroom, always clean up after yourself-the next user will be grateful !Keep your body-and your possessions-to yourself as much as possible so as not to crowd your in-flight seatmate(s). Share the armrest, especially on a long flight. Also, be careful not to kick or push on the seat in front of you.While some people enjoy chatting with other passengers during a flight, not everyone does. Some people may want to nap, read or work. 3If you are traveling with someone and want to chat, keep your voices low, 4 People can still hear through your headphones if the volume is too high.When exiting the plane, if others are having trouble with their carry-on luggage, help them if you can. If you can't help, wait patiently, and don't push past people to get off the airplane. On your flight, remember the golden rule: 5 .A. Don't leave your carry-on in the aircraft.B. If the conversation seems one-sided, you should notice it.C. Treat others the way you want to be treated!D. Avoid going to the bathroom during mealtimes.E. Instead, you can set an example by following these common airplane courtesies (礼貌)F. It is not polite to talk loudly in the aircraft.G.

2.【题文】Consumers everywhere are faced with the same dilemma: given limited resources, what sorts of purchases are most likely to produce lasting happiness and satisfaction? Recent research has confirmed that experiential purchases tend to produce greater hedonic (享乐的)gains than material purchases. The reason why experiences improve with time may be because it is possible to think about experiences in a more abstract manner than possessions. For example, if you think back to a fantastic summer from your youth, you might easily remember an abstract sense of warm sunshine and youthful exuberant (生气勃勃), but you're less likely to remember exactly what you did day-by-day. Material possessions are harder to think about in an abstract sense. The car you bought is still a car, that great new jacket you picked up cheap is still just a jacket. It‘s more likely the experience of that summer has taken on a symbolic meaning that can live longer in your memory than a possession. Purchasing may have a negative impact on happiness because consumers often buy ―joyless‖ material possessions, resulting in comfort but not pleasure. In general, people adapt to experiences more slowly than to material purchase. This can be seen in both negative and positive purchases: hedonic adaptation would result in a positive experience causing more happiness but a negative experience causing less happiness than the comparable material purchase with the same initial happiness level. Experience, however, seems to be more resistant to these sorts of unfavourable comparisons. It is because of the unique nature of experience. It‘s more difficult to make an unfavourable comparison when there is nothing directly comparable. After all, each of our youthful summers is different. It‘s well established that social comparisons can have a huge effect on how we view what might seem like positive events. One striking example is the finding that people prefer to earn $50,000 a year while everyone else earns $25,000, instead of earning $100,000 themselves and having other people earn $200,000. A similar effect is seen for possessions. When there are so many flat-screen HD TVs to choose from, it's easy to make unfavourable comparisons between our choice and the others available. 1.
