AYou and your friends are settling into your seats. The new Spider-Man movie is about to start and you’ve got the snacks: soda and popcorn. Food is part of what makes the movies fun.Just as the lights go out, you catch a slight smell of … tuna fish? You turn your head, searching for the source. Then you spot him: A couple rows back, some guy is enjoying a tuna fish sandwich. How’d he get that in here? You wonder. Then you remember how much you paid for your snacks.What invites the unwelcome outside food is probably the price. Why pay $ 5 for a bag of M&Ms when you can get them for a dollar at the corner store?Earlier this year, a Michigan man decided to fight for his right to snack. Joshua Thompson is suing his local theater after it banned outside food. He argues the ban breaks a Michigan law that prevents businesses from charging extremely high prices. However, most legal experts believe Thompson has little chance of winning his case, though he does have a point: 85 cents out of a dollar of treats a movie theater sells is pure profit.The truth is that movie theaters are more in the snack business than the movie business. A huge part of the ticket income goes to the Hollywood studio. This makes sense, since the studios have to pay the costs of movie production and advertising. But that often doesn’t leave mu ch cashfor the theater, which also has its own running costs. If customers stopped buying food, owners would have to raise ticket prices even higher.Of course, there’s another reason to think twice before bringing food into the movies: It’s against the rules. Breaking those rules can have unpleasant consequences too. Some theaters will kick you out if they catch you. Even without the threat of punishment, we should follow rules all the time------out of respect.Here’s a good idea: Eat before the movie.21. What is the topic of the text?A. Movie Theaters’ Ban on Outside Food.B. A Michigan Man’s Fight for His Right.C. The Pleasure of Enjoying Snacks.D. Bad Manners in Movie Theaters.22. What do we know about Joshua Thompson?A. He broke a Michigan law.B. He was forbidden to have snacks at the theaters.C. He thinks cinema tickets are too expensive.D. He is likely to lose the case.23. In Paragraph 5, the author mainly explains _________.A. how movie studios work with movie theatersB. why snack sales are important to movie theatersC. why Hollywood studios must pay high costsD. how movie theaters reduce their operating costs24. How does the author feel about bringing outside food into the cinema?A. It is great fun.B. It is convenient.C. It is unacceptable.D. It is lawful.BEnglish is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarte rs of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many astwo million words.However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweetmeats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese?How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible; but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.25. According to the passage __________.A. pineapples are the apples on the pine treeB. there should be an egg in an eggplantC. sweetmeats and sweetbreads are different thingsD. boxing rings should be round26. The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph maybe means “__________”.A. blowB. finishC. get hurtD. roll up27. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ____________.A. lazyB. crazyC. cleverD. dullCJacob’s Pillow Dance FestivalWhere: Becket, MassachusettsWhen: Jun.15---Aug.24Each summer, this influential dance center presents a number of classes and performances by more than 50 companies from around the world.

Which part of a website is the text probably chosen from?A. Education.B. Literature.C. Business.D. Art.DThe world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them every day.A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is: Great talent is not enough.I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than5 percent of Americans earn more than $100, 000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “They are one skill away from great wealth.”There is an old saying that goes, “Job means just over broke (破产)' ”. And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers “live within their means”. They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better h amburger than McDonald’s?” almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald’s is excellent at business systems. The reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on bui1ding a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.32. The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that __________.A. he has a sharp sense of hearingB. he is ready to help othersC. he is just one of the talented peopleD. he knows little about car repairing33. The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by__________.A. spend more than they can affordB. live within what they earnC. live in their own circleD. do in their own way34. Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?A. They don't work hard enough.B. They have no specialized skills.C. They don't make full use of their talents.D. They lack financial intelligence.35. The main purpose of the author is to tell us___________.A. why so many talented people are poorB. what schools should teach studentsC. how young people can find a satisfactory jobD. how McDonald's makes much money第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
