However, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trainedand added three inches to her height in four months! Her acting inNational Velvetis still considered the best by a child actress.Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932. Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons.

He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as heexplained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant listened carefullyand told him hed better buy a necklace (项链). He wasnt used to buying jewelry and was a little worried about overspending, because he was not very rich. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, theassistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five oclock. Half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura. The assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them somenecklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose, and then gave them the ones shehad prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away satisfactorily. Later James would certainly comeback to buy what he wanted when he got married.20. The good title for this passage is _.A.

Most of us might think of crowds of teenagers in a 1950s movie house watching Bwana Devil in 3-D. But 3-D technology made its first appearance on the scene in 1838 with the first stereoscope(体视镜). And the first actual 3-D movie was a 1903 film called Le Ariveedun Train.Although it has such a long history, the technology has still remained based on one simple principle-to make 3-D effects you must find a way to project two slightly different pictures to each eye. Modern 3-D technology works by rapidly flickering(闪动) two versions of the movie and projecting them onto each eye. The brain does the rest of the work, combining the two pictures together into one and giving the show the appearance of depth, the third dimension.But does this exposure, especially long exposures, cause harm to the childs developing brain and visual system? Unfortunately, long-term studies on new flicker digital 3-D technology and children arent yet available. We do not know if regular or daily 3-D viewing over years affects the developing visual system, although older 3-D methods basically do the same thing and are not considered harmful.The question of possible harm in modern 3-D use in TV is really based on two facts: the amount of time children will now be watching 3-D TV each day and the sensitivity some children show in reaction to 3-D viewing. It is difficult to make actual lab studies of longer term 3-D viewing in children because of the possible harm of the experiment. Researchers will have to wait until 3-D TV technology is already in the marketplace for a number of years, then check heavy 3-D TV watchers and compare them with non-watchers.With a 3-D television technology in the home, we will soon be able to answer the question of whether or not longer and more frequent periods of 3-D exposure cause more changes in the visual system. We may find that the bigger problem is the introduction of a new technology that leads to even more time spent on TV rather than playing outdoors.24、According to the text, 3-D technology _Awas refused by people when it first appeared.Bwill soon change the way we watch TV.Cdoes no good to our visual system.Dhas a history of nearly 200 years.25、Paragraph 2 is mainly about_Ahow 3-D technology works. Bwhy 3-D movies are popularCthe history of 3-D technology. Dthe influence of 3-D technology.26、Whats the method suggested in paragraph 4?ATo wait and see BTo carry out lab studiesCTo stop making 3-D moviesDTo improve 3-D technology27、The authors purpose in writing the text is to _Aask children not to watch 3-D moviesBdiscuss if 3-D viewing is harmful to children.Cintroduce the advantages of 3-D technology.Dpredict the development of 3-D technology.三、七选五（每空2分，共10分) Reducing the amount of sleep affects students performance at school. An American study asked schoolteachers to look at the effects of sleep restriction(限制on children between six and twelve years of age. The teachers found that children who stayed up late had trouble thinking clearly and had more learning problems.28、-Doctor Fallone now works at the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology in Springfield, Missouri. He presented the results last month at a science reporter conference in Washington, D. C. The publication Sleep also reported the findings.The teachers were asked to complete weekly performance reports on seventy-four schoolchildren. The study lasted three weeks. During that period, Doctor Fallone and his team controlled the amount of sleep the children received.29、-During another week, every child was kept awake later than normal. Each night, the youngest boys and girls had less than eight hours of sleep. The older ones were limited to six and a half hours. During the final week of the study, each child received no less than ten hours of sleep a night.The teachers were not told about how much sleep the students received. The study found that students who received eight hours or less had the most difficult remembering old information. 30、-The study did not find that sleep restriction caused hyperactivity(极度活跃) in the children.31、-. Doctor Fallone said that the results provided experts and parents with a clear message:32、-AThe sleeping time that the students have can be changed easily.BThey also had trouble learning new information, completing difficult work and following directions.CDuring one week, the children went to bed and awoke at their usual time.DThe teacher should restrict the amount of the sleep of the students.E. Gahan Fallone did the study at the Brown Medical School and Bradley Hospital in the state of Rhode Island.F. The teachers reported that students were, in fact, a little less active at school when they got less sleep.G. When a child has learning problems, the issue of sleep must be considered among the possible causes.四、完形填空（每空2分，共36分）I was walking down the road one day when my cell phone rang.
