Japanese director Hirokazu Koreeda tries to answer these questions in his films.His latest film, Shoplifters, is about his favorite topic - family relations. With this film, Koreeda won this years Palme dOr (金棕榈奖), the Cannes Film Festivals top honor.Shoplifters tells the story of a poor family living in Tokyo. Three generations living under the same roof survive by stealing from local shops.Obviously, what they are doing is wrong. But the director focuses more on the heartwarming details of the familys daily life, according to the Playlist. Koreeda shows how the family members love and support each other. For example, the family plans a beach trip for the youngest sister. They carefully pick out swimwear for the girl. At the beach, they play happily. The girl draws a picture to help her remember their time together.This causes viewers to forget about their moral judgments (道德审判).This is another feature of Koreedas filming style. He is good at presenting ordinary life. Its slow and full of small details - sometimes its even boring. But there is tension (冲突) present as well. In Shoplifters, the surprise is that the family members dont actually have blood ties to each other, but they are still closer than a real family. They all have their own stories.In Japan and most other Asian countries, blood ties are what defines (定义) family. But Koreeda questions that by looking at different kinds of relations.24. How does the family in the Shoplifters make a living?A. By drawing pictures. B. By working in local shops.C. By begging from neighbors. D. By stealing from the local stores.25. What is the feature of Koreedas filming style?A. No tension present at all.B. Being full of small boring details.C. Focusing on the hard time of poor families.D. Showing ordinary life through the details of daily life.26. What does Koreeda want to show us in the movie?A. The meaning of a family. B. How to get along with our families.C. The ordinary life in a Japanese family. D. The different relationship in a poor family.27. This passage is mainly about _.A. family relations B. a film directed by KoreedaC. a famous Japanese director D. features of Koreedas filmsCModern day robots may not be as entertaining as R2D2 or the robot from Lost in Space, but robots are very important to space exploration and are being used in a variety of different ways for several important reasons.Robots make great explorers on planets, moons, and other landing areas. Aside from the earth, just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore. The air on most other planets is not enough for humans to breathe, making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment. The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand. Plus there would be plications with radiation, weather, and a lack of gravity. Robots have much less limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.Robots are designed for collecting scientific data. Robots are also able to perform many tasks at one time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently. Important scientific projects from detecting minerals, analyzing ground samples, to finding water are all performed much quicker and accurately by robots.The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work. In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans, but also enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip. Moreover, robots have no problems working for hours on end. Robots never plain, they dont require food or water, and they never need a bathroom break.Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space. Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars. They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars history.28.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Development of Robots B. The Discovery of Space ExplorationC. No Robots, No Space Exploration D. Robots Are Used in Space Exploration29.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The use of robots in space exploration costs more than the use of humans.B. It is dangerous for humans to explore other surfaces in the solar system except the earth.C. Both Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water on Mars.D. Many different types of robots have explored the space successfully.30.The underlined word “withstand” most probably means “_”.A. remain B. bear C. defeat D. develop31.What is the writers attitude in this passage?A. Negative. B. Persuasive. C. Subjective. D. Objective.DIf a woman has an extra piece of cake, dont blame it on greed, blame it on her brain.Scientists have found that womens brains react to food very differentlyand much more stronglythan mens. Academics found that decades of dieting pressure on women and advertising have programmed certain parts of the female brain to react strongly when faced with any kind of food. Men, on the other hand, are not usually as obsessive (着迷的) about what they eat.Dr. Rudolf Uher and his colleagues at the Institute of Psychiatry in Kings College London used brain scanning technology, known as functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI), to look at the brains of eighteen men and women.The volunteers were given images of food to look at, as well as food to taste. Their brain reactions were observed by the scientists.They found that the female brains reacted much more strongly than those of males.The same reaction did not happen when they were shown non-food images. The team believe this means women think more about food than men tend to do.Dr. Uher said, “This could be related to biological differences between men and women. But the more likely explanation is that women have a more plicated (复杂的) reaction to food because of social pressure.”Professor Carey Cooper, psychology and health professor at Lancaster University, said, “For centuries women have had a providing role preparing and cooking food for their families. And it is part of that rule to make sure the food is safe. They will therefore be much more sensitive to food than men are, and I would not be surprised if that was now built into their DNA. If the female brain reacts to food because it historically has developed neural (神经的) pathways to do this, then food will be the way they express their stress. Food actually, is a fort for women.”But other experts have said that more research must be done before the results can be proved. American scientist Angelo del Parigi of the John B. Pierce Laboratory in New Haven, Connecticut, said, “Looking at an FMRI alone cannot make sure whether the stronger reaction in women is due to innate (天生的) differences or a learned process.”32. Dr.Uher and his colleagues carried out the research by paring .A. FMRIs effectiveness on women and menB. volunteers reaction to different kinds of foodC. volunteers reaction to food before and after mealsD. Womens and mens reaction to different images33. In Dr. Uhers opinion, women react more strongly to food than men most probably because they are .A. told to do so for a long time B. influenced by advertisementsC. forced by powerful social influences D. born to do so due to biological reasons34. According to Professor Carey Cooper, women _.A. turn to food when they feel sadB. are stressed because of food safetyC. accept their social role from the heartD. are satisfied with preparing food for their families35. What was Angelo del Parigis attitude towards the research results?A. Surprised. B. Uninterested. C. Doubtful. D. Curious.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)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。 Be a Green ChildWhat does it mean to be green? “Green” is more than just a color. 36 Why green? Plants are green, and without them the earth wouldnt be such a lovely home for us human beings. What can we do? Heres a four-step guide to being green:Reduce It! 37 For example, a shorter shower means you used less water fuel since your house uses fuel to run the water heater that warmed up the water.Reuse It!Sometimes people call ours a “throwaway society”. That means that were a little too willing to throw away old stuff (东西) and buy new stuff. 38 For example, if your baby brother bees older and loses interest in his plastic basketball hoop (篮圈), why not give it to another family who has a little kid?Recycle It!Recycling has never been easier. Many munities will pick it up right in front of your house and some towns even require it. Recycled goods go to a recycling center, where they can be turned into new cans, battles, and paper.Enjoy It!Its true that rubbish and pollution are problems, but the Earth is still a huge and beautiful place thats ready for you to explore. 39 Go for a hike, visit local centers and gardens, and climb up mountains.But before you travel the globe, take a look at your own backyard.
