Still, Clifford did manage to persuade Warner Brothers with promises that the production would improve on the film.The show mixes various forms of the performing arts including jazz, ballet and tap dancing.The producer also said the musical kept all of the film's original music and added some specially­made pieces for the onstage performance.But can Chinese people understand this American musical? Clifford thought the production would be a big hit because the emotions of the lead roles would be clearly expressed in their movements.1In which page of a newspaper are you likely to read this passage?AAdvertisement. BEntertainment.CMarket. DFashion.答案：B推斷題。整篇文章主要在介紹一部音樂劇卡薩布蘭卡，讀者最可能在報(bào)紙的娛樂版上看到該篇文章。故答案是B。2In what way is the musical Casablanca different from the movie?AThe emotions of the lead roles.BThe set of Rick's cafe.CThe music.DThe story.答案：C細(xì)節(jié)題。從文章的倒數(shù)第二段可以看出，這部音樂劇其他地方都沒變，只是增加了一些為臺(tái)上表演而專門制作的樂曲。故答案是C。3Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word“hit”？Asuccess BproductionCbeat Dattack答案：A詞義題。通過(guò)最后一段與上下文的關(guān)系不難猜出它的意思，可能有些中國(guó)人不能理解這部美國(guó)音樂劇，但因?yàn)橹鹘堑那楦型ㄟ^(guò)他們的舞臺(tái)動(dòng)作而清楚地表現(xiàn)出來(lái)了，中國(guó)人仍然會(huì)喜歡它，所以Clifford認(rèn)為該劇會(huì)是一個(gè)巨大的成功。故答案是A。B While running for president, Barack Obama often talked about his mother, Ann Dunham, and the lessons she taught him through her work with poor rural communities around the world. Dunham died of cancer in 1995, before any of her grandchildren were born. Now Barack Obama's sister, Maya Soetoro­Ng, has written Ladder to the Moon, a children's book that attempts to connect her young daughter, Suhaila, with the grandmother she never knew. The book's title was inspired by a picture postcard Dunham gave Maya as a child. It features a painting by Georgia O'Keeffe, which depicts a ladder floating against the night sky, with a half­moon high above it. In the book, little Suhaila asks her mother what her grandmother was like. “Like the moon，” her mother replies. “Full, soft and curious.” Suhaila longs to meet her, and one night, her wish comes true. A golden ladder appears at her window and Grandma Annie invites the girl to come along on a magical journey. “The book is about an evening spent helping others to come up to the moon after natural disasters and religious conflicts，” says Soetoro­Ng. “And the moon becomes an imagined place to heal and rest until we laugh loudly again.” It seemed natural for Soetoro­Ng to connect her daughter with Grandma Annie through the moon. Her mother, she says, always loved the moon because it was the same for everybody, no matter where in the world they were. Under the glow of the moon, she recalls, her mother shared her most meaningful tales with her children.That's how Soetoro­Ng says she, her brother and President Obama, remember their motheras a great story teller and role model. “Like me, he feels that she's someone who gave us a strong moral compass, and that she gave us compassion and desire to recognize the things that are common to all humanity and reach out across the divides even when doing so is hard，” she says. “That's something extremely valuable.” It wasn't just her mother's tales that shaped who she and her brother have become. Soetoro­Ng says what parents do is more important than what they say. Dunham, who had a PhD in anthropology, worked in rural development in some of the poorest places in the world.最近，奧巴馬的妹妹Maya Soetoro­Ng寫了一本新書通向月亮的梯子，介紹了一些關(guān)于她母親的趣事。4By writing Ladder to the Moon, Maya intends to_.A. show her mother's strong influenceB. express her mother's loveC. stress the importance of good parentingD. let her daughter know about her grandmother答案：D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的內(nèi)容可判斷出，奧巴馬的妹妹寫書的目的是讓女兒了解外婆。5The underlined word “depicts” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”A. draws B. shows C. resembles D. represents答案：B詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第三段可知，這本書的名字來(lái)自瑪雅在兒時(shí)從母親那兒得到的一張明信片。那是Georgia O'Keeffe的一幅畫，畫面上有一架梯子漂浮在夜空中，梯子上面有半輪月亮。故depict意為“描繪，描畫”。6Maya connects her mother with the moon because_.A. her mother resembled the moon in some wayB. her mother was just as beautiful as the moonC. she loved reading with her mother under the moonD. she used to work with her mother in the open air答案：A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段可知，瑪雅認(rèn)為母親像月亮一樣，豐滿、溫柔并具有好奇心。故答案為A。7In the children's eyes, Ann Dunham_.A. was just a common housewifeB. was good at painting and writingC. managed her family with little moneyD. was a great story teller and role model答案：D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第七段的內(nèi)容可知，在瑪雅和哥哥奧巴馬的記憶中，母親是一位了不起的講故事的人，也是一個(gè)偉大的榜樣。.短文填空根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。 _1_ You don't need to admire those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time. _2_ When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons，your parents are always taking good care of you; when you get success, people will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you; and when you do something good to others，you will feel happy. _3_ If you notice a bit of them，you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same as money. _4_When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy，because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly that you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor or you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋轉(zhuǎn)的)door. _5_ If you take every chance you get，you can be a happy and lucky person.A. All these are your happiness.B. Without money，we can live a happy life.C. Happiness is for everyone.D. She has no chance to go to school.E. It is a feeling of your heart.F. You are happy when you help a helpless man.G. In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it.答案：15CGABE.書面表達(dá) Michael是一名美國(guó)中學(xué)生，在學(xué)校里選修漢語(yǔ)。他利用暑假到中國(guó)進(jìn)修，希望進(jìn)一步了解中國(guó)文化。有一天，他看到下面有關(guān)成語(yǔ)的漫畫，不大明白其中的意思。請(qǐng)你用英語(yǔ)把漫畫所表達(dá)的故事和寓意寫成一段短文，向他解釋。 注意：1詞數(shù)：120左右2參考詞匯：bump into(撞上)，hoe(鋤頭)_參考范文： Once upon a time there was a farmer who worked hard in the fields every day. One day, while he was ploughing the field, he heard a bumping sound. He saw a rabbit lying by the trunk. He picked it up and found that it was a fat rabbit. He thought to himself, “Since it is so easy to get a rabbit like that，why should I work so hard all day long？”He threw his hoe away and lay by the tree every day，dreaming for more rabbits to come. When he finally realized his foolishness and returned to his fields, he found that all his crops were dead. This story tells us that only by working hard not by chance and luck should we wait for expected gains. Or, we should not hope to get rewards without hard work. Remember, “No pains，no gains！”最新精品英語(yǔ)資料
