阅读理解。     Movies in the theater get their recognition at awards ceremonies, such as the Oscars. But how about
movies for phones? They are getting their turn at MoFilm-the first mobile film festival.
     The first MoFilm competition received 250 entries from more than 100 countries. Entries were restricted
to films that were five minutes or less in length-ideal for viewing and sharing on mobile phones. An
independent jury then selected a shortlist of five film-makers. The winner was chosen from the shortlist by
an audience voting using their phones.
     New Platforms
     The awards highlight the increasing impact that mobile phones are making in the entertainment industry.
Many grassroots filmmakers start out with short films. They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to
screen their work. Therefore, mobile phones are increasingly being seen as a new platform for these short
works.
     It is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a way to have that expression
seen by a wide audience. Just think about how many people have mobile phones in the world!
     New Technology Advances
     MoFilm is pioneering content for mobile and online services that is a world away from Hollywood. The
majority of films made for mobiles are now short in length, taking into account the screen size. However
this could be overcome as technology advances.
    In the near future, longer films will likely be seen on the mobile phone. And there are mobile companies

thing that inspires someone to tell a story can really come from anywhere.

     Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the
fewest possible words.      In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of "mastery" -feeling important and worthwhile-and
the sources of what we call a sense of"pleasure"-finding life enjoyable-are not always the same. In the past
women often were told"You can"t have it all." Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: "You choose a
career, so you can"t expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life." or"You have a wonderful
husband and children-what"s all this about wanting a career?" But today women need to have two aspects of
well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves.
     Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two aspects. One is mastery, which includes
self-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely
related to the"doing" side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of
happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the"feeling" side of life. The two are
independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa. For
example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about
herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.
     The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and
correct past mistakes. In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the
source of all well-being. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important. And mastery seems to
be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women were valued significantly
higher in mastery than women who were not employed.
     A woman"s well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles. At least by middle adulthood, the
women who were involved in a combination of roles-marriages, motherhood, and employment-were the
highest in well-being, in spite of warnings about stress and strain. 1. What is the best title for the passage? (no more than 10 words)
________________________________________________________________________
2. According to the writer mastery means ______ and pleasure means _________.(no more than 10 words)
3. What is the main idea of the Second Paragraph? (no more than 8 words)
________________________________________________________________________
4. The underlined word"it" (Line 4, Para 2) refer to _______. (1 word)

阅读理解。     The Rockford police chief and some city officials want to install (安装) video cameras in all 100 police
cars. They think this will reduce the number of lawsuits (法律诉讼). In the last five years, Rockford has
paid out more than five million dollars to settle about 40 lawsuits.
     The chief said,"If cameras had been in those cars. we wouldn"t have. had to pay one cent. We"re always
pulling over drunks or drug users who try to fight the police or shoot them. Then they always claim (声称)
that the police start beating them first or start shooting at them first."
     The cost of installing cameras will be about $500 each. The city council (委员会) will vote on the
proposal (提议) next Monday. Ten of the 13 council members said that they like the idea. One member said
that it makes good sense.
     The police officers enthusiastically support camera use. One officer said that too many people think the
police often lie; cameras would show citizens that police tell the truth. "The money that we"ve been spending
on lawsuits will be better spent on more cameras," said one officer.
     Citizen opinions to the idea of police car cameras are mixed. One person, said that the police should have
started doing this years ago when video cameras were invented. But an elderly man strongly objected. "These
police are trying to stick their nose into everything," he said. He was going to attend the council meeting to
condemn the proposal. He hoped that other citizens would join him. 1. We can learn from what the chief said that with cameras on _____.A. the police will not be treated unjustly

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

     Hospital emergency rooms treat injured fingers all the time. Without treatment, a bad cut can lead to
permanent damage. But how should a person know when a bleeding cut is serious enough to require
medical attention?
     Here are some tips from Dr. Martin Brown, chairman of the department of emergency at Inova
Alexandria Hospital in Virginia.
     1. Laceration (裂口)
     The medical term for a cut or tear in the skin is a laceration.   1 A long cut on a finger can likely be
treated without a visit to a doctor if the wound is not very deep. However, if you have a short but deep
laceration, you will need professional attention,
     2. Fingertips cut off
     Some injuries, like a fingertip that gets cut off, might even need surgery (外科手术) to repair.   2
More often, cutting down the bone is what is done because reattaching a fingertip is often not successful.
     3. Bleeding
       3   Small cuts usually produce what is known as venous (静脉的) bleeding. This means the blood
flows steadily from the injury. The bleeding will often stop when pressure is put on the wound. In most
cases holding direct pressure with a clean cloth for four to five minutes would do. But if a cut appears to
be pumping blood out with some force, this may be a sign of arterial (动脉的) bleeding.   4
     Finally, always keep this in mind: even a cut that does not require medical attention must be kept clean
to prevent infection. Small cuts should be cleaned gently with clean water.   5   Then cover it with a clean,
dry bandage.

A. How a wound bleeds can be a sign of how serious it is.
B. That requires a specialist to either cut down the bone or reattach the fingertip.
C. This kind of injury should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible
D. The first signs of this disease include difficulty opening the mouth.
E. Use a washcloth to clean the area if the wound is dirty.
G. The length is usually not as important as the depth.

阅读理解。     Different people have different ideas about time. People in the USA think that it is important to know the
time. In cities in America, there are clocks in stations, factories and other buildings. Radio announcers

late, because he may not want to arrive on time.

阅读理解。     A lift is wonderful. It is really only a small room. Rooms usually stay in one place. Lifts travel up and
down all day long.
     Sometimes a worker stands in the lift. He or she operates it up and down. In modern lifts there is no
worker. The people walk in. They know what floor they want. They push a button and the lift goes to
that floor. It is all very fast and easy.
     Lifts are very important to us. Why? Think about a tall building. Maybe it has twenty floors. Maybe it
has fifty or more. Who can walk up all the stairs? Maybe people can climb them one time. Can someone
climb thirty floors to an office every day? Can small children walk up to their room on the twenty-fourth
floor? Can their mother and father carry food up all those stairs? Of course not.
