Film has certainly played a role in providing audiences with a set of strong associations in relation to Kennedy, who as a president did much more than die under tragic circumstances Joseph Uscinski says; I1 you were to ask most people what they know about JFK, it's the assassination and the conspiracy behind it And why is that? It's because of Oliver Stone's fim called JFK" Cinema, of course, has played a minimal role in shaping the legacies of those presidents judged as dull or low key. To some, Presidents Eisenhower, Ford and Carter fall into this category. They're not heroic, inspirational figures', says Professor Morgan. Eisenhower was a much better president than many contemporaries thought he was. He would figure in the top ten presidents of all time, I think, ftor most people. But his style of leadership was very hidden-hand, very understated. That doesn't work for Holywood." But with President Carter it's his years since he left the White House that may be more engaging to Hollywood producers. "Carter's strange legacy is that he becomes a fascinating fgure afer he's the president, one could argue the key legacy comes not from the four years, but the 35 years afterwards. I think that there's every possibility that they will get some very senious Hollywood attention," says Professor Miller. Its not just feature fims but documentares can shape the way a president is perceived but often only to confrm opinions not determine them. When Michael Moore's documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 arived on screens it provided a harsh indictmentor George w. Bush's war on trror. It was inftuential but it may have only had a limited etfect on how the public has come to view President Bush. Bush was a polarising figure and the flm didnt bring in people trom all sides. Polarised opinion has also defined Obama's years in the White House and that may limit the abiltly of cinema to determine his legacy 1 don't know how much room there is fora flim to shape his image in the next 10 years because it's witten in stone Aftican-Americans love him, Democrats like him a lot, and many of them wish he was more to the left. Republicans have a biter hatred for him," says Joseph Uscinski.1. What can we infer about Oliver Stone's fim JFK?A. It was mainly about Kennedy's contributions as a presidentB. It was produced before President Kennedy diedC. Itmisled the public's opinion about KennedyD. I provides an objectve picture of Kennedy's ifte2. What does Professor Morgan say about President Eisenhower?A. He was as reserved as President Ford.B. His leadership was successful.C. He was underestmatedD.

Vending machines (自动售货机) stocked with unhealthy snacks in leisure centres run the risk of fuelling children's being overweight, warn experts. Crisps and chocolate are on sale where children exercise despite being banned from schools and children's TV, the British Heart Foundation found (BHF). And children's meals on offer at the 35 places spot-checked were dominated by chips, sausages and burgers. The charity wants stricter regulation over the food choices available. The report, which was prepared by the Food Commission, looked at leisure centres, bowling buildings, ice skating areas and park cafes. The average calorie (卡路里) content of vending machine snacks was 203 calories, which would take a seven-year-old 88 minutes of swimming to use up. Fresh fruit was displayed at less than half of the places visited, and nutritional (营养的) information was displayed at just two of the places visited. The BHF said this severely limits the children's and parents' ability to assess the nutritional values of the products they are buying. The charity is now calling for public and private sector providers to lead the way in ensuring healthy food options are available and easily identifiable. It says it should be made a requirement that vending machines in publicly owned facilities are stocked with healthier products. A Department of Health spokeswoman said, "We are fully committed to encouraging the adoption of healthy vending machines across the country and expect local authorities to make sure there are healthy food options available in their leisure centres." Dessert, crisps and sugary drinks with bubbles of gas have been banned from all school vending machines in England since September 2007. Judy Hargadon, chief executive of the School Food Trust, said, "Convenience doesn't have to mean unhealthy." Many schools are using vending to offer pupils extra choice and independence whilst still keeping their options well-balanced and consistent.1. What is this passage mainly about?A) Improving facilities in leisure centres.B) Assessing the value of the annual program.C) Reducing the risk of being overweight. D) Banning all school vending machines.2. What caused the ignorance of well-balanced food mentioned by BHF?A) Lack of publications.B) Lack of exercise.C) Limited display of healthy food. D) The business of dessert making and selling.3. What did the charity call for?A) It called for more varieties of food.B) It called for healthier foods to be introduced. C) It called for prohibition of food high in sweet.D) It called for expanding of vending machines across the state.4. Which snack is allowed to sell in schools of England?A) Sprite.B) Coke Cola.C) Cereals Bar. D) Candy.5. What did Judy Hargadon think of vending machines?A) They are convenient but unhealthy.B) Vending machines should be used in schools to offer more choices.C) Vending machines might be convenient and healthy under control. D) To some point, it can help students to become independent.
Section B. Multiple choice. (2%*10=20%)Directions:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice.Passage OnePOLAR bears have patrolled the planet’s icy regions for millions of years longer than previously thought--riding outseveral episodes of global warming in that time. While this suggests their future might not be so bleak, it is no guarantee they will survive the melting occurring in the polar regions today.Charlotte Lindqvist of the University at Buffalo, New York, and an international team of researchers have just completed the most comprehensive analysis yet of the polar bear genome (基因组). The team looked at DNA from 23 living polar bears and a 110,000-year-old polar bear jawbone. Aided by comparisons with the genomes of brown and black bears, they found that polar bears first emerged as a separate species between four and five million years ago. Previous studies had suggested the species didn’t diverge (分化) from brown bears until much later-- perhaps just 600,000 years ago.The analysis also showed that polar and brown bears have sometimes interbred (杂交) since their initial divergence, and that populations of polar bears have been changing over the past million years in accordance with the climate. Polar bear numbers dropped during warm periods but bounced back with prolonged ice ages – most noticeably during a period of cooling between 800,000 and 600,000 years ago. The population looks set to fall again as melting pack ice forces polar bears back to the land-based habitats (栖息地) of brown bears, where interbreeding has recently been observed. Should extensive interbreeding occur, both polar and brown bear populations could decline with the emergence of a new hybrid (杂交的) species.Lindqvist says that the analysis reveals that polar bear DNA has lost diversity as population has decreased, drifted apart and become genetically isolated, suggesting today’s bears have less adaptability to the environmental change, habitat loss, pollution and diseases they now face.Earlier this year, Frank Hailer of the Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre in Frankfurt, Germany, and colleagues estimated that polar bears diverged from brown bears 600,000 years ago--a result that itself pushed back the evolutionary record of polar bears by about 450,000 years. However, Hailer says that the new results broadly are consistent with his team’s findings, which also suggested that polar bears may have evolved much earlier than the 600,000 year mark.(1) (单选题)What is the closest meaning of the phrase “riding out” (Para.1)?A.Skyrocketing.B.Seesawing.C.Surviving.D.Substituting.(2) (单选题)What was found in the research of polar bear genome according to the passage?A.Polar bears appeared as a separate species much earlier than we had thought.B.The DNA of living polar bears is very similar to that of a 110,000-year-old polar bear.C.Polar bears have survived the icy ages and will also survive the melting today.D.Polar bears diverged from brown bears perhaps just 600,000 years ago.(3) (单选题)When would populations of polar bears drop over the past million years according to the passage?A.When the climate became colder.B.After the initial divergence between polar and brown bears.C.During a period between 800,000 and 600,000 years ago.D.When polar bears were forced back to the land-based habitats.(4) (单选题)Why are the polar bears today less able to adapt themselves to the environment according to the passage?A.Because polar bears are isolated and cannot find new habitats.B.ecause polar bears are facing more difficulties nowadays.C.Because the DNA of polar bears has lost diversity.D.Because the interbreeding with brown bears has produced a new hybrid species.(5) (单选题)What can be inferred from this passage?A.Brown bear populations may increase, while polar bear populations decline.B.We are not sure that polar bears will survive the melting of polar regions.C.A new hybrid species of polar bears will have more adaptability to the environmental changes.D.The polar bear populations would increase when they began to interbreed with brown bears.

With the widespread acceptance of digital devices, there has been a great deal of research on how digital platforms, such as tablets and laptops, might be affecting attention and distractibility. Surprisingly few studies exist about how digital tools affect human understanding. A new research tested about the basic question: would processing the same information on a digital versus non-digital platform affect the fundamental level of cognition? It was composed of several studies and the following part listed two of them.A group of participants were asked to read a short story by author David Sedaris on either a physical printout (non-digital) or in a PDF on a PC laptop (digital), and were then asked to take a paper-and-pencil comprehension test. For the abstract questions, on average, participants using the non-digital platform scored higher on inference questions with 66 percent correct, as compared to those using the digital platform, who had 48 percent correct. On the concrete questions, participants using the digital platform scored better with 73 percent correct, as compared to those using the non-digital platform, who had 58 percent correct.Another group of participants were asked to read a table of information about four Japanese car models on either a PC laptop screen or paper print-out, and were then asked to select which car model is superior. Sixty-six percent of the participants using the non-digital platform (printed materials) reported the correct answer, as compared to 43 percent of those using the digital platform.According to the result, using digital platforms for reading may make you more inclined to focus on concrete details rather than interpreting information more abstractly. The findings of the study serve as a wake-up call to how digital media may be affecting our likelihood of using abstract thought. It’s crucial to recognize the role that digitization of information might be having on this important aspect of cognition. Knowing digital technologies can help design better software. Sometimes, it is beneficial to foster abstract thinking, and as people know more, the tendencies, or deficits, of digital devices can be overcome.1. Which of the following statements about the new research is true?A) Studies about digital tools are surprisingly few.B) The new research provides a unique view of computer science.C) A lot of studies prove that tablets and laptops have negative influence.D) The new research studies how digital devices affect cognition. 2. For those participants who read a short story, ________.A) they did digital reading as well as non-digital readingB) they answered concrete questions better on digital platforms C) they were good at taking a paper-and-pencil comprehension testD) they proved that digital reading was superior to non-digital reading3. It can be inferred from the study that ________.A) table reading depends more on abstract thinking than concrete thinking B) it is more difficult to read table information than reading short storiesC) people can make better choice of purchasing cars through digital readingD) non-digital reading promotes people’s understanding of table information4. What can be learned from the new study?A) Digital platforms hinder correct understanding in reading.B) People tend to adopt concrete thinking more in digital reading. C) Digital devices should be designed to promote reading efficiency.D) Non-digital reading is better than digital reading.5. What is the main idea of this passage?A) Reading from digital platforms is quite efficient.B) Digital media may be changing people’s way of thinking. C) Digitalization of information influences human beings in many ways.D) Digital technologies can be helpful in developing abstract thinking.

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
