18、Chinese films have ever 32 a golden trophy.The hard truth leaves people wondering when the nation, which is already the world ' s second largest film market, will earn a place in the renowned award ceremony ' s spotlight.The circumstance for domestic artists is similar to that ofChinese writ

19、ers and scientists before Mo Yan and Tu Youyou won aNobel Prize in 2012 and 201533.Just as Chinese people become accustomed to seeing their fellowcitizens taking home Nobel Prizes, it is time for them to see that winning an Oscar is also _34_.As the Chinese film market continues to grow at _35_ spee

Chinese culture has already provided a rich source of _37_ for Hollywood productions. The Kung Fu Pandafilms ar

22、e outstanding examples; the original and its first sequel are among the highest-grossing animated films ever.It is commonly believed that China doesn t lack sources of inspiration. As long as Chinese filmmakers, armed with latest filmmaking technologies, improve their storytelling skill, they could

23、see their _38_ released.Also worth nothing is that China now has a _39_ youngergeneration of filmmakers. With more professional and international training compared with their predecessors, they are better equipped to make breakthroughs.No one can predict when _40_ a homegrown film may stun the world

24、, but there is good reason to be optimistic. Patience is gold for domestic filmmakers.III.

27、Richard MacKinnon says that _45_ email can be a valuable, time-saving communication tool, it can also be a source of stress and even _46_ for many of us. He adds that the stress _47_ come from the number of emails you get but result from when and how you deal with them.According to the study, leavin

34、e of our own. We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives.This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy literature or movies lik

35、e The Lord of the Rings . This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe. But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?Human beings, as biologists have su

36、ggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms. However, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated lives. In a study of British school children, it was found that children by age eight were muchmore familiar with characters from television shows

37、and video games than with common wildlife. Without moderntechnology, a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants, insects,birds, and animals. Whenwelack meaningful interaction with the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends,we seek to un

38、derstand andcommunicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen.The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad. But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet（出路）for our sense ofwonder, then we are really missing something. We are missing a connection with th

39、e living world. Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own.56. The popularity of The Lord of the Rings proves.a. the close connection between man and the fantasy w

40、orldb. the wonderful achievements of fantasy literaturec. the general existence of the sense of curiosityd. the fine taste of moviegoers around the world57. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?a. People are far less familiar with the world of fantasy.b. The world around us

41、could serve as a source of wonder.c. The world of fantasy can be mirrored by a mall and lively pond.d. Modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder.58. If our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of make-believe, we will .a. fail to appreciate the joy in our livesb. be co

42、nfused by the world of make-believec. miss the chance to recognize the fantasy worldd. be trapped by other worlds existing all around us59. What is the main purpose of the passage?a. To show us the hidden beauty in our world.b. To warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world.c. To argue against the

43、misuse of the sense of wonder.d. To discuss the influence of the world of make-believe（B）Cagan Sekercioglu is an ornithologist（鳥類學(xué)家） who works todocument and prevent bird extinction.He s also a professor in thewho runs an award-winning conservation（ 保護(hù) ） group in his native Turkey. All those pursuit

44、s require flexibility - and each involves big risks.Why do you do what you do? Who inspired you?I ve always been drawn to nature. Whenother kids were playing soccer, I was bringing home insects and other animals. My mom took me to a child psychologist! But my beloved dad is my biggest inspiration. D

45、uring tough economic times he left a safe accounting job to start Turkey s first model -airplane company. It lasted 30 years.What are the physical dangers of your work?A whole range of dangers. While surveying birds I ve been attacked by a brown bear in Alaska and an eleph ant in Tanzania. I ve been

46、 faced with a poisonous snake in Uganda. I ve been caught between the military and terrorists, mistaken for a spy, held at gunpoint, kidnapped in Ethiopia, and attacked by a masked man in Costa Rica. Honestly, I m often more afrai d of people and trafficthan I am of wildlife.Is it politically diffic

47、ult to be an environmentalist in Turkey?It is when I criticize the institutions that grant my researchpermits. But it s my duty as a scientist to tell the truth. The government talks about conservation, but its priority is to turn nature into cash. So it uses double standards. They are reforesting w

48、hile cutting down old-growth forests. Actually everyriver isdammed,and the organization building those damsis responsible for regulat ing them. I m trying to stop one that will destroy the Aras River wetlands, where half of Turkey s bird species live. Yet if I speak out too much, I ll be punished fo

49、r a seemingly official, legal reason. Revenge in Turkey is usually indirect.You spend many hours on advocating conservation. Does that hurt your academic career?Some academics see it as a distraction. So far my school, the University of Utah, has been very understanding and appreciative. But I have

50、to walk a fine line .Do you ever feel scared by all the risks you face?Well, I don t actively seek risk. But I don t avoid it either. Taking a risk meansyou can fail. But if you fail, at least you tried.And that s all I can do. If I fail in the end, I fail fighting.60. The interviewee s fathe r insp

51、ired him to .a. take risksB. pursue his own goalsC. love natureD. develop his uniquecharacter61. Which of the following experiences has the interviewee NOT encountered?a. Being suspected of collecting secret information.b. Being chased by wild beasts.c. Being punished for a legal reason.d. Being poi

52、nted at by a gun.62.

53、e should not do anything against the law.（C）The definition of the standard kilogram is fundamentally imperfect. Getting the definition right is a challenge that has tried the patience and intelligence of scientists for decades.Scientists use just seven basic units to define all the otherquantities w

54、e use - quantities such as speed, density, or electric power. All of those basic units except the kilogram are themselvesdefined in terms of natural properties that are beyond human control.For example, the standard second （time） is defined as a specific number of vibration（ 震動 ） of a type of radiat

55、ion released by atoms of a special metal. The standard meter （length）, in turn, is defined as the length of the path light travels in a vacuum（真空 ） duringa specific fraction of a second（ 瞬間 ）.Not so the kilogram . This orphan of the basic unit family issimply the mass of a smallplatinum-iridium allo

56、y cylinder（鉑 -銥合金筒） locked away by the international Bureau of Weighs &Measures in France.Embarrassingly, the last time the copies were brought for a checkup in the 1980s, officials found that some copies had gained about 20 parts per billion in weight compared to the master cylinder since the p

57、revious checkup in the 1940s. This implies that the master cylinder itself may be an inconstant standard.No one knows what causes the weight changes. But the uncertainty can t be tolerated when precision （ 精密度 ） in research and some manufacturing now demands accuracy to a few parts per billion.Several efforts in several different countries are und
