These movies may seem different,but they actually share a lot in common.For starters,they wereall made by an animation studio called Pixar.How can one studio make movies that everyone loves?The secret:Pixar tells stories that audiences of all ages and backgrounds can connect with.The most important part of any Pixar movie is the story itself.GREAT STORYTELLING IS HARD WORKStorytelling is an art and a skill.Pixar creators know this.They have put a lot of time and thought into what makes a great story.One Pixar storyboard artist named Emma Coates created a list called "The22Rules of Storytelling According to Pixar.These are the rules that all Pixar stories must follow in order to be called a good story.One rule is that"You admire a character for trying more than for their successes.In Finding Dory, Dory isn't a perfect character.She finds it hard to remember things.She makes silly mistakes,but never stops trying to find her parents.This makes her the hero of her story.If you have ever tried hard for something,you can relate to DoryGREAT STORYTELLING CONNECTS USWhy are the stories that Pixar tells important?They get the audience to feel the story Feelings of anger,fear,sadness,joy,and love are universal.In this way,Pixar's stories have the power to show audience members that we are more alike than different.Because we can connect with the characters' emotions,we can connect with each otherThe stories that Pixar tells are very creative.No two movies are the same!But the stories and, more importantly,the feelings in each are universal.Even though we,ve never traveled the the power of these stories inspires us.They push us to better understand each other and to seek out our own adventures56.What is special about Pixar according to the author?A.It makes the movies very quicklyB.It creates all different types of movieC.It creates stories that tough all the audiences.D.It makes a lot of money from their movies57.How do Pixar films connect with us?A.They teach all of us the same lesson.B.They bring us together to watch movies.C.Their characters are usually physically similar to us.D.Their characters experience the emotions that we all doBIs your promotion really necessary?Many workers focus their hopes on climbing the scale of their organizations.The prospect of higher pay helps explain their ambition,but so does the greater status that comes with each successive(连续的)titleThis climb can often end in disappointment.The Peter Principle,developed by Laurence Peter for a book published in1969,states that workers get promoted until they reach their level of incompetence.It makes perfect sense.If you are good at your job,you rise up the career ladder.Eventually,there will be a job you are not good at and at that point your career will stop.There is another problem with chasing the promotion fantasy.Many companies have a strong tendency to promote the best sales people.Convincing others to buy goods and services is a useful skill,requiring charm and persistence.But,as the authors point out,these are not the same capabilities as the strategic planning and administrative competence needed to lead a sales team The research then looked at what happened after these super-salespeople were promoted Their previous sales performance was actually a negative indicator of managerial success.The sales growth of workers assigned to the star sellers was7.5percentage points lower than for those whose managers were previously weaker performersThe trick to avoiding this curse is to stick to what you like doing.If you enjoy teaching,don't be a headmaster or college principal.If you like writing articles and columns,editing other people’s work may not give the same degree of satisfaction.Another problem with pursuing frequent promotions is that it turns you into a supplicant, endlessly in search of favourable feedback from the higher-ups.This can lead you to lose control of your work-life balance.In Charles Handy's new book,21Letters On Life And Its Challenges,the experienced management theorist recalls an insight when working for Royal Dutch Shell,an oil giant. "In exchange for the promise of financial security and guaranteed work,I had sold my time to complete strangers with my permission for them to use that time for their own purpose,”he writes.The higher up the ladder you go,the greater the demands are likely to be on your time.The chief executive will expect you to be available at weekends:after all,that is why you get paid the big bucks. So that shiny promotion may not be for everyone.Beware the curse of overwork an/dissatisfaction. Some people like to devote their whole lives to their job and be at the centre of events.It is best to let them get on with it58.What can we learn about"The Peter Principle"?A.People’s careers are easily spoiled by unrealistic expectations.B.There are to some degree certain ceilings in people's career pathsC Incompetent employees tend to have more chances to gain promotionsD People don't necessarily get promoted by virtue of their competence59.Why is Charles Handy's new book21Letters On Life And Its Challenges mentioned?A.To put forward useful suggestions on how to get promotedB.To show how many challenges we face without getting promotedC.To illustrate the serious consequences of the pursuit of promotionD.To prove the economic security brought along by the promotion.60.Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?A.The Promotion SatisfactionB.The Promotion CurseC The Promotion Strategies D.The Promotion ProspectC.In2010,the planetary(行星的）defence team at NASA had identified and logged90percent of the asteroids(小行星）near Earth measuring1km wide.These"near Earth objects",or NEOs,are the size of mountains and include anything within50million kilometers of Earth's orbit.With an estimated50left to log,NASA says none of the887it knows about are a significant danger to the planet. Now NASA is working towards logging some of the smaller asteroids,those measuring140metres wide or more.Of the25,000estimated asteroids of this size,so far about8,000have been logged, leaving17,000unaccounted for.Considering that a19-metre asteroid that exploded above the city of Chelyabinsk in Russia in2013injured1,200people,these middle sized asteroids would be a serious danger if they enter Earth's orbit.①Whether NASA can find the remaining middle-sized NEOs depends on getting the money to build NEOCam,a0.5-metre space telescope which would use infrared(红外线的）light to locate asteroids.②Once logged,the planetary defence team would still need to work out how to defend the planet against being hit by the truly worrying asteroids-the PHAs.＂Potentially Hazardous Asteroids"(PHAs)are rocks close enough to pass within7.5million kilometres of Earth's orbit.NASA has created a map of1,400PHAs,none of which are expected to be a threat in the next one hundred years._③With technology already available,NASA can track these objects and make predictions about possible impact,at which point two defence solutions could be launched.The first is DART-the Double Asteroid Redirection Test.Plans are scheduled to test DART on the moon of an asteroid called Didymos."Didymoon"is150metres wide,orbiting its800-metre mother, and hopefully the impact of DART will knock it out of its orbit enough for Earth-based telescopes to pick up.Another suggested defence against a PHA on course to hit Earth is to blow it up using a nuclear weapon.It may sound like a plot from a film,and it was the subject of the1998film Armageddon,butthe Hypervelocity Asteroid Mitigation Mission for Emergency Response(HAMMER)is a genuine NASA proposal.④The eight-ton rockets would be fired at an approaching asteroid with the hope of bumping it off course.If the asteroid was too close to Earth for this plan to work,the rockets would carry nuclear bombs to blow it up instead.61.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word“log”?A recordB protectC decide D.discover62.What can we know from the first two paragraphs?A.NASA has measured90percent of the asteroidsB.The asteroids are proved to be no danger to the planetC.There are still many unlogged asteroids near Earth.D.Middle-sized asteroids are more likely to enter Earth's orbit63.What can we infer from the passage?A.PHAs are a big concern but not an immediate threat in the short termB People needn't worry about the middle-sized asteroids with the help of DART.C.A special telescope will provide a complete defence against asteroids hitting EarthD.It is likely that Didymoon will be knocked out of its orbit,dropping to Earth64.Where does the following sentence fit best in the passage?"If it did get the money,it could probably achieve its goal in ten years”A.①B②C③ D.④DMonday dawned warm and rainless.Aurelio Escovar,a dentist without a degree,opened his office at six.When he had a handful of instruments arranged on the table,he sat down to polish the false teeth.He seemed not to be thinking about what he was doing,but worked steadily The sharp voice of his eleven-year-old son interrupted his concentration“Papa”“What?”“The Mayor wants to know if you'll pull his tooth”“Tell him I’m not here.”He was polishing a gold tooth.He held it at arm's length,and examined it with his eyes half closed.His son shouted again from the little waiting room“He says you are,too,because he can hear you”The dentist kept examining the tooth.Only when he had put it on the table with the finished work did he say,"So much the better.He took several pieces of a bridge out of a cardboard box where he kept the things he still had to do and began to polish the gold“Papa”“What?“He still hadn't changed his expression"He says if you don't take out his tooth,he'll shoot you.”Without hurrying,with an extremely calm movement,he stopped his work and pulled the lower drawer of the table all the way out.There was a revolver(左轮手枪).”OK,”he said.“Tell him to come and shoot me."He rolled the chair over opposite the door,his hand resting on the edge of the drawer.The Mayor appeared at the door.He had shaved the left side of his face,but the other side swollen and in pain,had a five-day-old beardThe dentist saw many nights of desperation in his dull eyes.He closed the drawer with his finer tips and said softly,“Sit down”“Good morning,"said the Mayor.“Morning,”said the dentistWhile the instruments were boiling,the Mayor leaned his head on the headrest of the chair and felt better.His breath was icy.When he felt the dentist approach,the Mayor held his breath and opened his mouthAurelio Escovar turned his head toward the light.After inspecting the infected tooth,he closed the Mayor's jaw with a cautious pressure of his fingers."It has to be without anesthesia(麻醉) "Why?“”‘Because you have an abscess(脓肿).”The Mayor looked him in the eye."All right,he said,and tried to smileThe dentist did not return the smile.He did all the preparation work without looking at the Mayor It was a lower wisdom tooth.The dentist spread his feet and grasped the tooth with the hot forceps(钳子).The Mayor seized the arms of the chair with all his strength.The dentist moved onlyhis wrist.Without rancor(怨恨),rather with a bitter tenderness,he said,“Now you will pay for our twenty dead men.”The Mayor felt the great pain in his jaw,and his eyes filled with tears.But he didn't breathe until he felt the tooth come out.Then he saw it through his tears.It seemed so foreign to his pain that he failed to understand his torture of the five previous nightsThe dentist gave him a clean cloth."Dry your tears,"he said.The Mayor did.He was trembling.While the dentist washed his hands,he saw the shabby ceiling and a dusty spider web with spider's eggs and dead insectsThe dentist returned,drying his hands.”Go to bed,”he said,“and gargle(漱口)”with salt water The Mayor stood up,said goodbye with a casual military salute,and walked toward the door, stretching his legs“Send the bill,”he said.“To you or the town?The Mayor didn’t look at him.He closed the door and said through the screen,”70”65.Why did the dentist say he was not there(Para.6)when the Mayor wanted to have his tooth pulled?A.Because he was only a dentist without a degreeB Because he was unwilling to treat the MayorC.Because he was too busy to attend to the mayor.D Because he was still polishing the Mayor's gold tooth66.What does the underlined sentence"He says if you don t take out his tooth,he'll shoot you imply?A.The Mayor had a gun in secretB.The Mayor was scaring the dentists sonC.The Mayor used to hate the dentistD.The Mayor had absolute power in this town.67.How did the
