Yet why are some of these films so successful, while others seem to lose the main ideaof the book completely?CharactersOne of the most important things in a film is having characters that the audience can relate to(与•--有某丰中联系).It does not matter what job they do, where they live, or even whether they are good or bad.

D. Answer the questions (报据以下内容回答问越）（12分）We all form first impressions when we use new products, go to new places, and meet new people. We sometimes call these impressions or feelings “gut reaction(本能反应),”and our intuition(直觉) or instinct causes them. Some people believe that intuition is very important and can help us live better lives. Shannon Healy is one such person.Healy is a strong believer that all people have natural powers of intuition. In her book, she says that most people, however, don't pay enough attention to their “gut feelings.”Her new book, Use Your Intuition, is full of stories of people who used their intuition to find love and success. For example, a young woman made a quick decision between two job offers. She chose one by paying attention to her “gut feeling” that she would enjoy the work more, even though the pay was lower. It turned out lo be a good choice. Each chapter of Healy’s book has a specific focus, such as love, work, children, or health. The exercises in the book give people practice on how to use their intuition to have success in all these areas.Sometimes Healy also teaches students about using the power of intuition in workshops where she lives — In Jacksonville, Florida. Some people travel hundreds of miles to attend her workshops. Use your Intuition is already a bestseller!88.

Answer the questions (报据以下内容回答问越）（12分）Almost every woman likes going shopping. Personally speaking, I enjoy shopping in the U.K., even if it's just window shopping. The sales service is the key reason why I like shopping in the U.K. much more than shopping in China. Every brand has its own official website where customers can see products and order directly online, so the products can be sent home directly. As for those who enjoy shopping in real stores, shopping experiences are rather free and open. Different from that in China, most stores do not provide personal shop assistants unless you ask one of the staff about a specific question. It is never necessary to tell them to leave you alone. I especially like this kind of free atmosphere in which I can walk slowly, pick whatever I want and decide which is to take without any personal suggestions from shop assistants. Although sometimes, store staff help customers to fetch shoes or clothes of a specific size or color, they never exaggerate (夸大）their opinions on it, as their task is to provide service but not to provide comments. Besides, each brand has a refund policy (退款政策).The policy may vary from one another, but a cooling-off period of 14 to 28 days is provided for customers to think twice about whether they really want the products they bought. Within the cooling-off period, customers can easily get full refund or exchange if they can provide a valid receipt (有效发票）and unused products with all the tags. It encourages customers to buy products more often and increases sales. As for customers, it is also good, for people can have a chance to get back their money which was spent on unwanted clothes.The U.K. is a modern country with traditions. While it says yes to the fast pace of modern fashion industry, it also provides _______________93______________ for its tourists and customers. It fully deserves the title of “Shopping Paradise”.88.

Students become small fish in a very, very big pond.In the past, American kids knew that high school would bring bullying from elder students. Young students felt lonely and confused.Nowadays, things are improving. Schools are creating “teams” to make students feel welcome. A team is smaller, friendlier, and easier to become a part of than the school as a whole.Teams are made up of a few students from each grade level. Teachers choose team leaders to act as role models. Within a team older students protect and advise the younger students, who will do the same for the later. The teams stay together for all four years of school. Some teams even create their own flags!Students meet on campus before school starts at “orientation”(新生训练). At orientation, students get to know the members of their team. Orientation may go on for as long as one week. During orientation, experts guide students through “trust games”. In one popular game, a student is blindfolded(蒙起眼睛的) and led by a partner through some obstacles(障碍物). In scavenger-hunt(寻物) type games, students have to find out the interests and hobbies of their teammates. These activities help students to get close to each other.

One【2016届上海市虹口区初三英语二模试题】D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) ( 12分)The art of acting in a theatre and writing plays for thetheatre is known as drama (戏剧). Most dramatic eventstake the form of actors acting out a story by a writer, calleda playwright or dramatist.Because this is usually done on a stage in a theatre, drama is also called theatre. The stories acted in the theatre are called plays. Drama is very much like literature(文学) , but is not written only to be read from books. In a way it is a kind of literature brought to life in the form of a play.Some drama is not written down, but is made up by the actors as they go along. This is called improvisation(即兴创作). Another form of drama is mime. In mime, the actors do not say anything, but use their movements and facial expressions to tell the story. In mime make-up and costume is important to show the kind of character that the actor is playing.The first recorded play was performed by the ancient Egyptians around 2700 BC. The beginning of drama as we know it, however, was in ancient Greece, where it used to be part of a religious ceremony(宗教仪式). The Greek plays were performed in semi-circular theatres. These outdoor theatres could often hold over 20,000 people. The church in the Middle Ages also used drama as part of its worship. As time went by, groups of actors were from town to town with a mobile stage to put these plays on.Soon, actors and playwrights found new subjects for their plays.Towards the end of the 15th century, the Italians developed the art ofcomedy.A hundred years later, in England, William Shakespeare(1564-1616) was writing many plays on historical subjects.Nowadays, plays have as many different subjects as novels do andthere are dramatists in many countries writing all kinds of plays.88.

He was taller by nearly 1.5 inches (3.81 cm) when he landed on Earthafter his 340-day space mission on the International Space Station (ISS).His change in height, which lasted about two days, raised the question: What are the effects of a long-term stay in space?As you probably know, there is no gravity in space. This not only causes difficulties in everyday actions like eating, walking and sleeping, but also problems for the human body.The first problem is the air. Without gravity, carbon dioxide cannot spread during breathing, but gathers around the body and causes headaches. More than that, human feelings of movement are affected, which could make people feel sick.The body’s fluids(液体) don’t work well in weightlessness, making blood flow upwardinstead of down to the lower legs, and astronauts’ faces become fatter than normal. Gaps between bones also become larger because humans cannot stand up straight. The spine(脊柱) can also get bigger in zero gravity.In addition, human bodies become weaker because of the lack of gravity and space to move around in. Some astronauts said that after they returned, their muscles hurt and their skin became very sensitive(敏感的). Kelly said during his first press conference, “It was almost like my body was on fire wherever I sat or lay or walked.”However, the research into the effects of long-term space flight on human bodies and minds never stops. There are many actions that astronauts can take in space. They can take vitamin D for bone growth, wear special belts on their legs to keep blood in their lower bodies and do strength coaches’ exercises. The fans in the ISS also help spread carbon dioxide around. “We will do further research.” NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said, “I believe it will be meaningful to human-being.”88. Something occured to Kelly’s body when he finished his space mission, didn’t it?__________________________________________________________________________.89.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) ( 12分)Venus（金星）has long been one of the most misunderstoodplanets. Like the earth, Venus has its own atmosphere. However,the atmosphere is much thicker than that of the earth, which makesit difficult for modern scientists to study. There is much we still donot know about what this planet is like. However, using special machines, scientists have unlocked many of the long-hidden secrets in recent years.Venus is in many ways the earth’s sister planet. It is almost the same in size and chemistry as the earth. In other words, Venus is made up of almost the exact same types of materials as the earth, in about the same amounts.In the early days of Venus’ 4-billion-year-old life, it would have appeared very similar to the earth. The two would have been almost the same. However, over a period of a few million years ago, Venus took a very different course than the earth. Venus lies much closer to the sun than our planet. It has made Venus terribly hot.Since it is closer to the sun, Venus’ temperature should be a little warmer than that of the earth. As the planet warmed, water which can be used to form oceans, lakes and rivers, evaporated (蒸发). This increase in water vapor (水蒸气) began a cycle of global warming. Water vapor is a very effective greenhouse gas. It caused the temperature to rise and more water to evaporate. The temperature then climbed still further. Today it is likely t hat all of Venus’ water has evaporated into the atmosphere. This atmosphere effectively keep s the sun’s energy and makes the surface to burn much hotter than it naturally would.If you happen to find a way to survive the extreme heat on the surface of Venus, you will quickly notice something strange about the days. Venus rotates (旋转) very slowly, so that a day on Venus actually lasts longer than a year. Instead of the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, the sun would appear to rise in the west and set in the east when you are on Venus.88. Both Venus and the earth have their own atmosphere, don’t they? (1分)____________, ________________________________________________________.89. How can the scientists finally get to know more about Venus in recent years? （2分）_____________________________________________________________________.90. Why is Venus considered the earth’s sister planet?（2分）_____________________________________________________________________.91.

In recent year, the earth faces the similar situation which makes Venus very hot.

As a boy, I always thought people simply bought whatever theyneeded. Whether Grandfather knew this, I didn’t know. One day he said, “Come, I have something for you.”I followed him to a workroom. “You should have a toy boat. You can sail it at Storvassdal,”he said. “Great,” I thought, looking around for the boat. But there was none.Grandfather pointed to a block of wood. “The boat is in there,” he said. Then he handed me some tools and showed me how to use them properly. “It’ll be a fine boat, and you’ll make it with your own hands,” he said, “No one can give you what you do for yourself.” The words rang in my head as I worked. The boat was finished. It wasn’t much to look at, but I was proud. Then I sailed it at Storvassdal.We had to return to America. “You cannot bring that boat home with you,” my mother said. We had too much baggage. Feeling sad, I hid my boat under a big rock at Storvassdal.I said good-bye to Grandfather, not knowing I would never see him again.In 1964, I went to Storvassdal with my parents and my wife and children. To my surprise, for 34 years my treasure stayed here, waiting for my return.

Each time I had the boat and carved the year, my grandfather seemed near.My last trip to Storvassdal was in 1991. I brought my granddaughters: Catherine, 13; Claire, 12.

They found a home in flames (燃烧着). Mary said: “Oh well, it isn’t our house burning. Let’s go home.”But John drove closer and said: “That home belongs to my friend Fred at work. He wouldn’t be in. Maybe there is something we could do.”“It has nothing to do with us.” Mary disagreed. But John drove up and stopped and they were both shocked to see the whole house in flames. A woman on the lawn was screaming (= crying and shouting), “The children! Get the children!” John asked “Where are the children?”“In the basement,” cried the woman, “down the hall and to the left.”All at once, John held the water hose and wet his clothes and ran for the basement full of smoke. He found the door and two children. Holding one under each arm, he carried the two frightened and coughing children into waiting arms and asked how many more children were down there. They told him two more. However, Mary caught his arms and said, “John! Don’t go back! It’s like killing yourself! That house will fall down any second!”He shook her off and went back by feeling his way down thesmoke-filled hallway. He found both children.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) ( 12分)We often hear people say, “Life is not perfect.” But when problems really come to you, what do you do? Are you able to get through hard times?Liang Jiaxiang has a story to tell. The 13-year-old Beijing boy once took part in the election (竞选) for class monitor. But he failed, which made him feel frustrated (懊恼). “All the books and TV shows say that as long as you work hard toward your goal, you will make it,” said Liang. “But why didn’t I make it? Does it mean hard work is useless?” He spent some time thinking, but still felt upset for he didn’t get any answers. Then he decided to talk to his classmates to find out why he was not chosen. “Through the talks, I learned problems with myself that I never noticed before,” said Liang. “I cheered up again, since I saw what to improve. I will fight for the next vote.”Like Liang, Cao Yuhan, a 12-year-old Beijing girl, used to have difficulties, too. It all started when she was told to learn how to swim. Cao hated swimming. She didn’t practice, so one time she fell into the pool and nearly drowned (溺死). Feeling frightened, the girl said she suddenly felt challenged to learn the sport. “I told myself that I should beat swimming so that I would never drown again. Now I’m an excellent swimmer. If I had given up then, I would never have learned how much I could enjoy the sport.”A positive (正面的) attitude helps make bad things turn good, says Hou Ying, a psychological counselor (心理咨询师) at Beijing Bacui Bilingual School. “Students at my schoolcome to me with different problems,” she says. “Some are angry. Some are worried. Some blame (责备)their problems on others. I always advise them to face their problems, accept them and fix them. It may sound it is very hard to do, but once you choose to face them, it becomes easier.”88. How many students shared their experiences about getting through hard times?__________________________________________________________________________. 89. Liang Jianxiang didn’t seriously think over the reasons why he failed at all, did he?__________________________________________________________________________. 90.
