A

The use of the word imitation(模仿) reminds me that we ought to make some more comments on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in the way of crime(犯罪) or violence.First there was always a risk of children acting out scenes which could be dangerous.For example,I remember a woman who was head of a middle school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window when the children were on the playground and had seen them putting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck and the rope over the branch of a tree;fortunately she was in time to get there before the child was hanged.I remember a film in particular in which the hero who was imprisoned had escaped by electrocuting(通电触死) his guard,the technique of doing this being shown in detail.This was the kind of scene which we could cut for these reasons.

In films for young people and adults we always tried to keep off the screen the details of criminal techniques,such as how to open a locked door with a piece of hard plastic or how to open a safe;if we were consulted(请教) before production,I used to advise that the details should not be shown.When I gave talks in prisons about film checking I had full support for this,since fathers who were in prison for criminal offences did not want their children to get on crime.

Every time I gave a talk in a prison someone used to mention the French film Rififi. made by Jules Dassin in 1954.This remarkable film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweller’s shop,the robbery lasting about half an hour and being backed by only natural sound...one of the most brilliant film sequences(连续镜头) of all time.I remember our discussion at the time.We thought that the robbery was finished only with the use of advanced and obviously expensive equipment and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it;we believed therefore that it was relatively safe.When talking in prisons some years later I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had been copied,so perhaps we were wrong.

56.The writer thinks that______.

A.the details of the criminal technique should be kept

B.the details of the crime should not be shown on the screen

C.children should not imitate what they see on the screen

D.it is dangerous to imitate what they see on the screen

B.The writer is strongly against it.

58.Parents in prison agree d to film checking because______.

A.they did not want their children to follow them

B.the crime on screen could be imitated without difficulty

C.they had given a talk on it

A.that the robbery shown needs experience and skills

B.that some very good tools were used in the robbery

C.that the film showed the technique in detail

D.that the technique of the robbery was not imitated

China’s old Kunqu Opera gets a modern style

Kunqu Opera, one of the earlies t traditional Chinese drama, has a history of more than 500 years. Suzhou Kunqu  Opera Theatre has recently produced a youth version of “Peony Pavilion”, one of the most famous Kunqu plays, to win back young audiences. The play was welcomed in Hong Kong during its run from June 7 to 9.

The “Peony Pavilion” was written by Tang Hsien-tsu, a famous writer during the Ming Dynasty. It is regarded as the most romantic story in Chinese literature and is often compared to Shakespeare’s play “Romeo and Juliet”. The story is about Liu Mengmei, a young scholar, and Du Liniang, the daughter of a high government official in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Meanwhile, Liu finds Du’s portrait while travelling. He falls in love with the image. One night Du’s spirit appears to him. At her bidding(吩咐), he opens her grave and she returns to life.

Du’s parents, who have moved to another city, hear the story of what has happened but refuse to believe it. The powerful father puts Liu in prison for robbing. In order to save her lover, Du comes to court and explains everything. The couple live happily ever after.

Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth.” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill. If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold,  or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.

Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat with pleasure, drink with pleasure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.“ But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”

71. The writer thinks that_____.

A. health is more important than wealth        B. work is as important as studies

C. medicine is more important than pleasure    D. nothing is more important than money

72. The doctor usually tells his patient what to do______.

A. without examining the patient           B. after he has examined the patient

C. if the patient doesn’t take medicine      D. unless the patient feels pain

73. The underlined part means “______”.

A. he was feeling better than ever          B. he wasn’t a healthy man

C. he was feeling worse than before        D. he will be well again

74. From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man_______ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.

A. was a heavy smoker                  B. didn’t smoke so much

C. didn’t smoke                        D. began to learn to smoke

75. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. The doctor usually tests his/her blood pressure when a person is ill.

B. The man told the doctor he couldn’t remember things.

C. The man thanked the doctor.

D. The man didn’t follow the doctor’s advice. Xk  b1.c om

阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)(10分)

【1】Having one of those days or weeks when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood will probably go away after some time . But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster—often within a day or two.

【2】 Walk it off. Exercise is the most popular bad-mood buster. A person who’s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or doing some quick exercise can do wonders towards changing that bad mood.

【3】 Give yourself a pep talk. Stop and listen to what’s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too  many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper—the pessimistic messages you’ve been giving yourself and then __________. (“I still don’t have a job.” vs “ I have two interviews next week.”)

【4】 Reduce your stress. Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood-lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing(想象), all of which sound complicated but aren’t. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to distress is to make a to-do list. One reason for being in a bad mood you have no option. By taking control over certain areas, you realize you’re not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.

【5】 Avoid things that won’t improve your mood. TV may not help much: You need to increase your energy level and stimulate your mind—something that the TV show “Neighbors” won’t do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta, produce a calming effects in people who have a desire for them.

76. What is the main idea of the passage? (no more than 8 words)

77. Complete the following statement with words from the last paragraph. (no more than 4 words)
