18.Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater,employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups.It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater's 75-year history.This time,however,the cleanup was a little different.As one group of workers carried out the rubbish,another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building's end.
       The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater.Though the movie is 30 years old,most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building.Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate.The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.
   Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete.He added that the theater's location(位置) was also a reason."This used to be the center of town,"he said."Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses."
    Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place.However,these plans were abandoned because of financial problems.Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm,which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.
    The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time.After 75 years the Plaza Theater has shown its last movie.The theater will be missed.
24.In what way was yesterday's cleanup at the Plaza special?B
   A.It made room for new equipment.
   B.It signaled the closedown of the theater.
   C.It was done with the help of the audience.
   D.It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.
25.Why was The Last Picture Show put on?D
   A.It was an all-time classic.B.It was about the history of the town.

   A.It will be repaired.          B.It will be turned into a museum.

27.What can we infer about the audience?B

D.They are eager to have a shopping center.

26.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)句子"This used to be the center of town,"he said."Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses."他說:"這里曾經(jīng)是市中心,現(xiàn)在主要是辦公樓和倉(cāng)庫(kù)."Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm,which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located可知該公司計(jì)劃在劇院所在地建立一個(gè)購(gòu)物中心.可以推斷出原來的這個(gè)劇院需要拆除推倒,所以答案選C.
27.B 推理判斷題.Though the movie is 30 years old,most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building.雖然這部電影有30多年了,250多個(gè)席位都被坐滿,含著流淚的觀眾想說對(duì)這個(gè)老建筑說再見.由此可以推斷出觀眾們的心情是沉重的,所以答案選B.

9.Fifteen years ago,I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy.After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea,white buildings and green olive trees,I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.
Unfortunately,just as I took out my camera,a woman approached from behind,and planted herself right in front of my view.Like me,this woman was here to stop,sigh and appreciate the view.
Patient as I was,after about 15 minutes,my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take,I grew frustrated.Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape?Sure,I could have asked her,but something prevented me from doing so.She seemed so content in her observation.I didn't want to mess with that.
Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored.The woman was still there.I decided to take the photo anyway.And now when I look at it,I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting.The landscape,beautiful on its own,somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.
This photo,with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who"ruined"it,now hangs on a wall in my bedroom.What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger's bedroom wall?A bedroom,after all,is a very private space,in which some woman I don't even know has been immortalized(使…永存).In some ways,she lives in my house.
Perhaps we all live in each others'spaces.Perhaps this is what photos are for:to remind us that we all appreciate beauty,that we all share a common desire for pleasure,for connection,for something that is greater than us.
That photo is a reminder,a captured moment,an unspoken conversation between two women,separated only by a thin square of glass.

41.What happened when the author was about to take a photo?B
A.Her camera stopped working.
B.A woman blocked her view.
C.Someone asked her to leave.
D.A friend approached from behind.
42.According to the author,the woman was probablyA.
A.enjoying herself
B.losing her patience
C.waiting for the sunset
D.thinking about her past
43.In the author's opinion,what makes the photo so alive?C
A.The rich color of the landscape.
B.The perfect positioning of the camera.
C.The woman's existence in the photo.
D.The soft sunlight that summer day.
44.The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understandD.
A.the need to be close to nature
B.the importance of private space
C.the joy of the vacation in Italy
D.the shared passion for beauty

A.a(chǎn) particular life experience
B.the pleasure of traveling
C.the art of photography

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來源:華大新高考聯(lián)盟2017屆高三5月教學(xué)質(zhì)量測(cè)評(píng)英語(yǔ)試卷 題型:閱讀理解

“It’s a big hammer to crack a nut.” This is how one angry parent described the recent crackdown(強(qiáng)制措施)by London police on parents who drop their kids off at school by car. Yes, you read that correctly—the very mode of transportation that many American schools insist—the only safe way to deliver kids to school is now being criminalized in the United Kingdom.

The decision to fine any vehicles seen dropping off or picking up kids with in a particular zone of east London comes from city councillors’(議員) long-term efforts to make the area safer and less crowded. They say they’ve been trying for years “to encourage sensible driving and parking”, but in vain. Neighborhood residents complain frequently about their driveways being blocked by illegally parked cars for 15 minutes or more,often while they’re trying to get to work, and the streets are long overcrowded.

Now the rules have changed. Some parents are angry. Angie Baillieul is a mother who made the “big hammer” comment and says the crackdown is “way over the top.” The nearest drop-off point for her six- year-old is now a five-minute walk from the school. Others are happy with the decision, severe though it may seem. Councillor Jason Frost said :

“Traffic has significantly reduced,and more children are now walking to school, which is a great outcome. I would rather have complaints that we are slightly inconveniencing parents than hear that a child had been seriously injured because nothing was done.”

I witness daily the chaos created by these in-town drivers,when I walk my own kids to school. There’s a parking lot overflowing with vehicles and a slow-moving train of cars moving in circles,many filling the air with harmful smokes. Meanwhile, the conversations around child over-weight and the importance of daily physical activity continue to stand out in schools.

1.Why is Angie Baillieul opposed to the new rule?

A. She is often fined by London police. B. She will lose her job as a school driver.

C. She has adapted to the American practice. D. She thinks it adds inconvenience to her son.

2.Why has the new rule been made according to Jason Frost1?

A. On account of massive complaints. B. Because of heavy traffic jams.

C. Owing to safety concern. D. Due to air pollution.

3.What can be seen after the crackdown is carried out?

A. Less daily chaos. B. Favor from all people.

C. More over-weight children. D. Complaints from neighbors.

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A. Parents attempt to resist a school rule.

B. London police cause widespread anger.

C. American schools care about kids7 safety.

D. Different voices are heard on a new traffic policy.

Dear friends,

May I have you attention, please? I'm going to talk about something focusing in Protecting Wildlife. So far millions of species have died off or, have endangered mainly for two reasons. For one thing, man has been killing them for food or other commercial reasons. Take antelopes for example. Poachers hunt them for their fur, that can be made into luxurious shawls. For another, human civilization has been developing very fast that man has invaded and destroyed wild animals' natural habitats. Human activity have greatly threatened their existence. If all the wild animals disappear one day from the planet, humans would feel lonely. The world is beautiful for its diversity. Besides, some animals are extreme useful in the field of science, while others are especially adorable, unique, and keep us a good company. However, we should learn to share the earth with them. Thank you for your time.
