He sent his camera crew(摄制组)out one evening to film the sunset for him .The next morning he said to the men,“Have you provided me with that sunset?”“No .sir.”the men answered. The director was angry. “Why not?”he asked.“Well ,sir,”one of the men answered.“were on the east coast here ,and the sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea .if necessary, but not a sunset.”“But I want a sunset!”the director shouted.“Go to the airport .take the next flight to the west coast ,and get one.”But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why dont you photograph a sunrise.”she suggested.“and then play it backwards? Then itll look like a sunset.”The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay(海湾)。Then at nine oclock they took it to the director.“Here it is sir.”they said ,and gave it to him. He was very pleased. They all went into the studio（摄影棚）.“All right.”the director explained.“now our hero and heroine are going to say good-bye.

Twenty-two people, including two crew members, survived the accident. Earlier, Daudova had said there were at least 71 dead and 25 survivors, but she later gave lower numbers. Eighteen survivors were sent to hospital, and four others were sent home with no serious injuries, according to Daudova. Daudova also said the people on board included 24 Kyrgyz citizens, 52 Iranians, three Kazakhs, two Canadians, one citizen of Turkey and one Chinese.An airport official said the crew reported a technical (技术的) problem about 10 minutes after the plane took off and that the plane was returning to the airport when it crashed. Several government officials said the plane belonged to Itek Air, a Kyrgyz company, but was operated by Iran Aseman Airlines. But Mamytov, the presidential adviser, said the plane was both owned and operated by Itek Air.Itek Air has been banned from operating in the sky of the European Union because of failure to meet safety standards (标准), according to a list published by the EU July 24, 2008.Kyrgyzstan is a poor, mountainous country west of China.

DLast year, on report card day, my son and a bunch of his 13-year-old friends piled into the back seat of my car, ready for the last-day-of-school party at McDonalds. “Jack got a laptop for getting straight As, and Laurie got a cellphone,” one boy said. “Oh, yeah, and Sarah got an iPod Nano, and shes only in third grade,” said another. “And how about Brian? He got $ 10 for each A.”I suddenly became concerned. These payoffs might get parents through grammar school, but what about high school and beyond? What would be left after the electric guitar, the cell phone, and the portable DVD player?I saw the road ahead: As the homework load increased, my income would decrease. I saw my comfortable lifestyle vanish before my eyes-no more of those $ 5 bags of already-peeled organic carrots. No more organic anything!I started to feel surprised and nervous. Would every goal attained by my two children fetch a reward? A high grade point average? A good class ranking? Would sports achievements be included in this reward system: soccer goals, touchdowns, runs-batted-in? What about orchestra? Would first chair pay more than second? Id be penniless by eighth-grade graduation.“We never paid anything for good grades,” said my neighbor across the street, whose son was recently accepted at MIT. “He just did it on his own. Maybe once in a while we went out for pizza, but thats about it.”Dont you just hate that? Were all running around looking for the MP3 player with the most updates, and shes spending a few dollars on pizza. She gets motivation; we get negotiation.51The sentence “As the homework load increased, my income would decrease.” in the third paragraph probably means _.Ataking care of the children would influence my workBI would spend more money on my childrens homeworkCreducing childrens homework load would cost me a lotDmore rewards would be needed as the children grew up52We can tell from the passage that the authors son was in _.Aprimary schoolBjunior middle schoolChigh school Duniversity53It can be inferred from the passage that _.Aif you pay the children for good grades, they would take it for grantedBif you buy children pizza for good grades, they would work harderCchildren would not ask for rewards when they enter high schoolDchildren would not ask for rewards when they enter university54The example of the authors neighbor shows that _.Apizza is the best way to motivate childrenBreward is not the only way to motivate childrenCthe authors neighbor was very poorDthe authors neighbors son didnt like reward55What is the authors attitude toward paying children reward for good grades？AFavorableBAmbiguousCDisagreeableDUnknowable EPeople in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mothers Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Fathers Day, on the third Sunday in June.Mothers Day was proclaimed a day for national observance by President Woodrow Wilson in 1915. Ann Jarvis from Grafton, West Virginia, had started the idea to have a day to honor mothers. She was the one who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of wearing a carnation.In 1909, Mrs. Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers. She wanted to honor her own father, William Smart. After her mother died, he had the responsibility of raising a family of five sons and a daughter. In 1910, the first Fathers Day was observed in Spokane. Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to established Fathers Day as a national commemorative day, in 1972.These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mothers Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is deadMany people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Fathers Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.56According to the passage, which of the following about the second Sunday in May is not true ? AIt is a day to show love to mothers BIt is a day to wear carnations CIt is a day for people to visit the cemetery DIt is a day for many people to attend religious services57Choose the right time order of the following events. a. The first Fathers Day was observed b. Mothers Day was proclaimed a day for national observance c. Fathers Day became a day for national observance. d.
