7.The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean,so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other forever.He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him.
The next morning he said to the men,"Have you provided me with that sunset?"
"No,sir,"the men answered.
The director was angry."Why not?"he asked.
"Well,sir,"one of the men answered,"we're on the east coast here,and the sun sets in the west.We can get you a sunrise over the sea,if necessary,but not a sunset."
"But I want a sunset!"the director shouted."Go to the airport,take the next flight to the west coast,and get one."
But then a young secretary had an idea."Why don't you photograph a sunrise,"she suggested,"and then play it backwards?Then it'll look like a sunset."
"That's a very good idea!"the director said.Then he turned to the camera crew and said,"Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea."
The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay.Then at nine o'clock they took it to the director."Here it is,sir,"they said,and gave it to him.He was very pleased.
They all went into the studio."All right,"the director explained,"now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye.Run the film backwards so that we can see the‘sunset'behind them."
The"sunset"began,but after a quarter of a minute,the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.
The birds in the film were flying backwards,and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.
24.Why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast?C
A.Because he changed his mind about getting a sunset.
B.Because he was angry with his crew.
C.Because he wanted to get a scene of sunset.
D.Because it was his secretary's suggestion.
25.The director wanted to film a sunset over the ocean becauseA.
A.it went well with the separation of the hero and heroine
B.when they arrived at the beach it was already in the evening
C.it was more moving than a sunrise
D.the ocean looked more beautiful at sunset
26  After the"sunset"began,the director suddenly put his face in his handsB.
A.because he was moved to tears
B.a(chǎn)s he saw everything in the film moving backwards
C.a(chǎn)s the sunrise did not look as beautiful as he had imagined
D.because he was disappointed with the performance of the hero and heroine
27.Which of the following is NOT true?D
A.The crew had to follow the secretary's advice.
B.If you want to see a sunrise,the east coat is the place to go.
C.The camera crew wasn't able to film the scene the first day.
D.The director ordered his crew to stop filming the"sunset".

分析 短文主要講了一組劇組去海邊拍電影,但發(fā)現(xiàn)去的是東海岸,沒(méi)法拍日落,最后秘書想出一個(gè)辦法,但還是不像想象中那樣美.

解答 24.C,細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)文章第五段中的"we're on the east coast here,and the sun sets in the west.We can get you a sunrise over the sea,if necessary,but not a sunset."可知,導(dǎo)演想要拍的是日落,就改變了主意,因此C選項(xiàng)的意思與之相符.
25.A,推理判斷題,根據(jù)文章中第一段的內(nèi)容The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean,so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other forever,可知導(dǎo)演要拍攝日落主要是想為這對(duì)情侶在道別的時(shí)候創(chuàng)設(shè)一個(gè)優(yōu)美浪漫的情景,故不難推斷A選項(xiàng)的意思與之相符.
26.B,細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)文章的最后一句"The birds in the film were flying backwards,and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach",可知他看到電影里的東西都往后移動(dòng),故選B.
27.D,推理判斷題,根據(jù)句子They all went into the studio."All right,"the director explained,"now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye.Run the film backwards so that we can see the‘sunset'behind them可知,日落是拍好了的,因此D項(xiàng)不符合.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 解答任務(wù)型閱讀理解題,首先對(duì)原文材料迅速瀏覽,掌握全文的主旨大意.因?yàn)殚喿x理解題一般沒(méi)有標(biāo)題,所以,速讀全文,抓住中心主旨很有必要,在速讀的過(guò)程中,應(yīng)盡可能多地捕獲信息材料.其次,細(xì)讀題材,各個(gè)擊破.掌握全文的大意之后,細(xì)細(xì)閱讀每篇材料后的問(wèn)題,弄清每題要求后,帶著問(wèn)題,再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息.最后,要善于抓住每段的主題句,閱讀時(shí),要有較強(qiáng)的針對(duì)性.對(duì)于捕獲到的信息,要做認(rèn)真分析,仔細(xì)推敲,理解透徹,只有這樣,針對(duì)題目要求,才能做到穩(wěn)、準(zhǔn).

2.Today just as technology changed the face of industry,farms have experienced anagricultural revolution".On the farm of today,machines provide almost all the power.
One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer.A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently.The computers help them keep more accurate(精確的) records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant,hw much livestock (家畜) to buy,when to sell their products,and how much profit they can expect.Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers.Programs are being written for pig producers,grain farmers,potato farmers,and dairy farmers.In the future,farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs.Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm,students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses.There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future.While the old-time farm depended on horse power,and mdern farms depend on machine power,farms of the future will depend on computer power.
Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot,a real"mechanized hired hand"that will be able to move and,in some ways,think like a human being.Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make shocking changes in farming before the end of the century.Unlike farmers of the present,farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them.Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear (修剪) sheep,drive tractors,and harvest fruit.Even complex jobs will be done by robots.For example,in orer to milk their cows,farmers must first drive them into the barn,then connect them to the milking machines,watch the machines,and disconnect them when they are finished.In the future,this will all be done by robots.In addition,when the milking is completed,the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure.The complete change of the farm is far in the future,but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.
33.According to the passage,computers can not help farmers decideC.
A.how much money they can earn from their products
B.whether to plant a certain kind of crop
C.what livestock to raise   
D.when to sell their products
34.Which of the following statements is true?B
A.Farmers in the future will depend totally on computers.
B.Farmers mainly use machines on their farms at present.
C.Both computers and robots have been in use on today's farms.
D.Students at agricultural colleges needn't take their normal agricultural courses.
35.What is the best title for the whole passage?C
A.Computer,F(xiàn)armers'Best Friend     
B.Farmers in The Future
C.The Agricultural Revolution        
D.Computers and Robots.

8.One in ten teens says they use"study drugs"to improve their performance in school.So-called"study-drugs"refer to prescription medicines(處方藥) used to treat ADHD(注意力缺乏癥).But most of parents have no understanding of the problem,a new study finds.
In January,2013,researchers from the University of Michigan Mott Children's Hospital did a national survey of more than seven hundred families with teens.They found that only one percent of parents believe their child has taken a study drug.
Yet in a 2012 University of Michigan study,ten percent of second-year high school students and twelve percent of third-year students say they use a study drug.
The misuse of stuffy drugs didn't come to the attention of almost all parents."What we found in this survey is a clear mismatch(不相符),"said Dr.Matthew Davis,one of the researchers."It is a mismatch between what parents believe and what their children were reporting."
"We know teens believe that these drugs can improve their grade,"Davis said."But these prescription medicines are drugs.And teens who use them without a prescription are taking a serious risk."
The new survey showed that fifty-four percent of white parents were"very concerned"about their child taking study drugs,compared with thirty-eight percent of the Hispanic (拉美的) parents and thirty-seven percent of black parents.
However,just twenty-seven percent of parents surveyed talked to their teens about using study drugs.Of these parents,forty-one percent were black,twenty-seven percent were white and seventeen percent were Hispanic.
Students with a prescription for an ADHD drug should be required to keep their medicines in a safe place.Seventy-nine percent of parents think so,the survey shows.This may help preventitfrom being shared or used by other students.
32.According to paragraph 4,Dr.Davis thinks.D
A.the 2012 University of Michigan st udy is untrue
B.it is a good way to take study drugs to treat ADHD
C.it is necessary to do another new survey about study drugs
D.some parents still don't realize the study drug problem
33.Dr.Davis believed using study drugs to improve grades.A
A.is bad for health    B.is worth a try   C.sometimes works   D.causes little harm
34.What does the underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refer to?A
A.The study drug     B.ADHD.C.The survey.D.A safe place..
35.What is the purpose of this text?C
A.To give useful advice.
B.To introduce a new drug.
C.To report a research result.

9.A new study has found no evidence that sunscreen,commonly used to reduce the risk of skin cancer,actually increases the risk.
Researchers from the University of Iowa based their findings on a review of 18earlier studies that looked at the association between sunscreen use and melanoma.They said that they found flaws in studies that had reported associations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanoma.
Most health experts believe that by protecting the skin form the harmful effects of the sun,sunscreen helps prevent skin cancer,which is increasing in incidence faster than any other cancer in the United States.
But question have been raise about sunscreen and whether it may have the opposite effect,perhaps by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without burning.
The researchers said that among the problems with some earlier studies is that they often failed to take into account that those people most at risk for skin cancer---people with fair skin and freckles,for example-are more likely to use sunscreen.As a result,it may appear that sunscreen users get cancer more often.
The studies,which generally relied on volunteers to recall their use,were also unable to prove how well the products had been applied,said the new study.
13.The underlined word"flaws"in the 2nd paragraph most probably meansC.
A.evidences        B.facts       C.faults               D.failures
14.We can learn from the passage thatD.
A.sunscreen users get skin cancer more often
B.the volunteers have proved the effects of sunscreen
C.the new study was based on the experiences of volunteers
D.the number of skin caner patients is increasing in America
15.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?A
A.Sunscreen to Prevent Skin Cancer
B.Sunscreen to Increase Skin Cancer
C.Skin Cancer Caused by Sunscreen
D.Skin Cancer Caused by Freckles.
