     The producer of a new Indonesian movie about President Obama's childhood years in Jakarta(雅加達(dá)) is hoping that interested Americans will flock to see the film, Little Obama, in theatres across the
country.
     Little Obama is the creation of Damien Dematra, an Indonesian writer and artist who has worked
on the project since November when he was struck with the idea of writing about the time a young
Obama lived in Jakarta with his mother and stepfather in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
     The film is based on a novel published in March Obama Anak Menteng, and focuses on the president's childhood friendships in Indonesia.
     The novel and the film are fictionalized(把-編成小說) accounts of the president's time in Jakarta and
are based on interviews with people who are childhood friends and neighbours of Mr. Obama. Many
Indonesians share a deep pride about a man who spent part of his shaping years in the country and went
on to become U.S. president.
     The film star is a 14-year-old Hasan Faruq Ali, an American who has lived in Indonesia with his family
for about 10 years. Like the president, he is the son of a white mother and a black father. Since filming
began, he has been under the shine of media attention. "My whole life changed overnight," he says.
     The film, which was made on a budget of $1 million, won't get its first public screening until
Wednesday, but ads for the movie on YouTube have got a few thousand hits. It isn't clear whether
Little Obama will get a U.S. release(發(fā)行), but the film's producer says he is in talks with a U.S.
distributor(發(fā)行人).

1.     What is the film Damien Dematra produced mainly about?     
A. The friendship between America and Indonesia.
B. The political views of Obama from his childhood.

A. Their nationality is American.
B. They shoot a film when they are young.
C. they have the experience of living in Indonesia.
D. Hasan has a white mother and a black father.
3.     What can we learn from the last paragraph?

    　　A Nobel Prize is considered by most people one of the highest international honours a person can receive．As you know, the prizes were started by a Swede called Alfred Nobel．Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and lived from 1833 to 1896．

    　　Alfred Nobel was a chemist and inventor．He made two important inventions, and so he became very rich．Although he was rich, Nobel was not a happy man．He never married or had children．Also, he was a sick man in a large part of his life．Nobel died at the age of sixty-three．When he died, he left a fund of ＄9, 000, 000．The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and the promotion of world peace．

    　　The first Nobel Prizes were given on December 10 th, 1901, five years after Nobel's death．Many famous people from all over the world have been given Nobel Prizes for their achievements．Albert Einstein was one of them．

    　　Often a Prize is given to just one person, but not always．Sometimes a Prize is shared．It may be given to two or three people who have worked together．Sometimes a Prize is not given at all if there is no outstanding achievement．In 1972, for example, no Nobel Peace Prize was given．It is the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm that decides whether to give the Prize or not．

    第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題，每題2分，滿分40分）
    閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。
    The National Outline for Medium and Long Term Education Reform and Development (2010 - 20) was released over the weekend. Here are some of the highlights:
    Four – percent effort
    The government says spending on education will be 4 percent of GDP by 2012. globally, average spending on education is about 4.5% of GDP. China spend 3,33% in 2008. according to Hu Angang, of Tsinghua University’s Center for China Studies, even if China reaches that goal, it will only rank about 100 th out of 188 countries.
    Administrative rank
    Administrative rankings for school leaders are to be phased out to tackle the bureaucracy (官僚機(jī)構(gòu)) problem that limits educational development, according to Cheng Fangping, of the national Institute for Educational Research. Areas like teaching programs, scientific research, and technological development will be more independent.
    Vocational Education
    The system will be free of charge. According to Wu Yan, of Beijing Institute of Educational Sciences, this will be key to developing China’s production capacity and will improve poor people’s lives dramatically.
    Entering college
    Universities could eventually have the freedom to choose some of their own high school applicants. Normally, students are accepted based on the uniform national exam scores. Also, students who agree to go to a remote area could be admitted to university under special circumstances. The most likely change could come on the college entrance English test, which might be modeled on the IELTS or TOEFL. Students will be able to take it several times and pick their best score.
    56．Which of the following is true in the future according to the passage?
    A．Applicants could take the IELTS or TOEFL instead of the college entrance English test.
    B．Colleges will be given the right to choose all of their own applicants.
    C．Vocational education will be party free to make people’s lives better.
    D．Applicants could sit for the college entrance English test more than once.
    57．Which of the following words is closest in meaning to “uniform” in the last paragraph?
    A．formal      B．official     C．same D．united
    58．We can learn from the passage even though our country spends 4% of GDP on education in 2012, ________.
    A．there will still be 188 countries ahead of China in this aspect
    B．China will certainly overtake the global average spending on education
    C．there might be nearly 100 countries ahead of China in this aspect
    D．China will be the 100 th country to spend over the global average on education
    59．From the third paragraph, we can infer that________.
    A．school leaders will have more freedom to manage the school
    B．schools will have more limits from the government
    C．School administrative rankings are to be strengthened to solve the bureaucracy problem
    D．schools and research centers will be fully independent from the government

    第二部分：閱讀理解（第一節(jié)20小題，第二節(jié)5小題；每小題2分，滿分50分）

    第一節(jié)：閱讀下列短文, 從每題所給的四個選項 (A、B、C和D) 中, 選出最佳選項。

    Being interested in a theme park since the time that I was a child, I have learned a thing or two over the years about packing for a day of fun. A trip to a theme park is always a adventure, but if you’re not prepared, your day of fun could easily turn into a tiny little nightmare(噩夢). It is important to pack long sleeved(帶袖的) shirts or jackets for all members of your family. I is also a good idea to pack an extra pair of socks for each member of the family, especially the children, as those wonderful water rides can be fun, but wet socks that won’t dry aren’t so much fun.

    You don’t want to pack too much food, as you will probably want to experience at least some of the food offered at the theme park of your choice(that’s half of the fun), but it’s always a good idea to bring some energy increasing snacks, such as fruit,trail mix,etc. This can mean the difference between spending a lot of money on snacks or a little money on one or two good meals.

    Theme parks,while fun and exciting, can wear a person out,especially a child, so it’s important to keep hydrated(含水的). I would suggest packing one bottle of water per person, and possibly a couple of cans of soda or bottles of juice as well.

    It’s a good idea to have at least two cell phones or even a set of “walkie-talkies” in the event that your family gets,separated in the park. It’s a good idea to give one of these things to the children and one to the parents and make sure that each of them knows how to use it. This could be the difference between trouble and a happy ending,

    1.You should get well prepared before going to a theme park__________.

      A. because the trip always costs much money

    B.because there are always too many people in a theme park.

    C. so as not to suffer from bad dreams when going back

    D.so as to cut down your trip expenses and have more fun

    2.From the passage, we can know_______________.

      A.the author was fond of visiting theme parks when he was a child

    B.wearing wet socks in a theme park will bring children much fun

    C.it is terrible to have a taste of the food offered in a theme park.

    D. we’d better bring enough food, clothing and water when going to a theme park

    3.What does th underlined part”walkie-talkies” in the last paragraph probably refer to?

      A. A kind of transportation tool           B.A kind of musical instrument

    C.A kind of CDplayer                  D.A kind of phone

    4.How many types of things does the author advise us to pack for day trips to a theme park?

      A Three         B.Five      C.Six      D. Eight

          Advertising is a form of communication that uses all kinds of media, and is visible
    everywhere these days. Typical customers of advertising companies are other companies,
    or businessmen, who want to persuade potential customers to buy more of what they
    make or sell. But there are other kinds of customers. Some organizations spend large
    sums of money on advertising a political party or other group that sells what is not, strictly
    speaking, a product or service. Such non - profit organizations are not typical advertising
    customers, and they prefer ways of spreading knowledge, changing attitudes, and
    improving society.
         Many advertisements are designed to increase sales of products and services by either
    improving brand image or, in the case of non - profit organizations, expressing ideas. In
    order to achieve th~s, advertisements will often pass on truthful information while delivering
    their messages. Every major medium is a means of delivering these messages, including
    television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards
    (大幅廣告牌). Advertising will usually be created and. placed by an advertising agency
    on behalf of company or other organization.
         Spending on advertising has increased greatly in recent years. In 2006, spending was
    estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide; the latter is
    expected to reach more than $500 billion by 2010.
         While advertising can be seen as a necessity for economic growth and social
    development, it is not without social costs. Advertisement emails and other forms of junk
    mail have become so popular that ~they have become a major burden to users of I
    nternet email services, as well as a financial burden on Internet email service providers.

          The worst US economic depression in the recent 70 years is forcing senior citizens out of retirement,
    leaving them fighting for jobs in a weak labor market or risking homelessness.
          The study by Experience Works, released on Tuesday, showed 46 percent of the 2,000 low income
    people over 55 years who participated needed to find work to keep their homes. Nearly half of them had been searching for work for more than a year.
          "These people are at the age where they understandably thought their job-searching years were
    behind them,” said Cynthia Metzler, president and CEO of Experience Works.
         "Bur here they are, many in their 60s, 70s and beyond, desperate to find work so they can keep a
    roof over their heads and food on the table.”
          According to the study, many of the participants had no intention of working past their 60 th birthday, but _______ after being laid off or following the death of the partner. Over a third of the participants had
    retired.
          Ninety percent of the respondents 76 years and older planned to continue working for the next five
    years.
          Huge medical bills due to a persona illness or that of a partner were also reasons for coming out of
    retirement, the survey found. The longest and deepest economic decline since the 1930s is making finding
    a job for the low-income elderly workers a difficult challenge.
          The Experience Works study found that 46 percent of the elderly jobseekers were sometimes forced
    to choose between paying rent and buying food or medication. Almost three-quarters believed their age
    made it harder to compete for jobs with younger workers.
         "This study underscores calls for the need to create policies that remove barriers to employment for
    elder workers and provide additional programs and services specifically aimed at helping elder people
    re-enter the work force or remain working,” said Metzler.
