and other products. when writing a review, concentrate on exactly what you liked or didnt like. give examples of strengths and weaknesses, be descriptive and provide background information on an author, director, actor or musician, if possible. find professional reviews in magazines or newspapers and see how reviewers deal with their topic, but be sure to express your own voice in your review. grammar hint for reviews: when describing a book, movie, album or anything else, use the present tense.book reviews discuss an authors technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot. does the story flow? is there a strong sense of character and place? did you stay up until dawn to finish it? is it good reading for teenagers? what influence did it have on you and why? if youve read other books by the same author, discuss how this book compares.movie reviews think of the major oscar categories and consider the performances, music, lighting and setting, etc. do these work together? did some hold up while others didnt? if the movie is based on a book, discuss whether one is better than the other and why. if the movie is a remake, compare the film to its original.remember that a well-written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses. some readers may not have seen a movie yet, so dont give away an exciting scene or the ending!college reviews begin by providing an overview of the college, including location, size and a description of the campus and/or dorm life. think about all aspects of your college visit. what academic, athletic and after-class programs are available? what are the students like? what makes the college different from others? every school has strengths and weaknesses. be objective. consider what the school has to offer and who might enjoy or benefit the most from attending there. 21. when writing a review, you _.a. cannot refer to any previous reviewb. must express your own views and opinions c. must provide some information about the authorc. neednt give any examples to support your views22. which aspects should be included in all three reviews?a. strengths and weaknesses.b. plot and character.c. programs and scenes.d. location and description.23. where can you probably find the passage?a. in a personal diary.b. in an official report.c. in a tourist guidebook.d. in a popular magazine.blooking back on my childhood. i am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. unlike them, i had no ear for music and languages. i was not an early reader and i could not do mental arithmetic. before world war i we spent our summer holidays in hungary. i have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. nor do i recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. but i do have a crystal(清澈的) clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.i am a naturalist, not a scientist. i have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. i love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other peoples observations and discoveries. then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious(意识清醒的) mind. suddenly you fancy(想象) you see the answer to the riddle. because it all seems to fit together .this has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books. which some may light honor, with the title of scientific research.but curiosity a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist? one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality i lack. a scientist can be made a naturalist. if you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds. 24. according to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be _ a. full of ambitionb. self-disciplinedc. full of enthusiasmd. knowledgeable25. the first paragraph tells us that the author _ a. lost his hearing when he was a childb. didnt like his brothers and sisters c. was interested in flowers and insects in his childhoodd. was born to a naturalists family 26. the author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he _. a. just reads about other peoples observations and discoveries.b. lacks some of the qualities required of scientist. c. has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic.d .come up with solutions in most natural ways. 27. the author cant remember his relatives clearly because_ a. he didnt live very long with themb. he was too young when he lived with them. c. the family was extremely large.d. he was fully occupied with observing nature. c how much exercise do i need?when it comes to exercise, less is not morebut its certainly better than none. physical inactivity accounts for as many as 23 percent of all deaths from major chronic (慢性的) diseases, yet almost one of every three americans is sedentary (spending a lot of time sitting down). according to the centers for disease control, 29.4 percent of those surveyed (调查) report they have no free-time physical activity at all. city people tend to be more active than country folks, with 27.4 percent saying they are sedentary, compared with 36.6 percent of those in rural areas.light activity can improve physical and mental well-being. while light activity is good, moderate (not very large or very small) activity is even better, and health experts encourage everyone to have at least 30 minutes a day of moderate physical activity. but you dont have to head to a gym. as recent studies have confirmed, “lifestyle” activities, such as walking, house cleaning and gardening, are as effective as a structured exercise program in improving heart function, lowering blood pressure and keeping or losing weight.in one study, overweight, sedentary middle-aged men and women who learned behavioral skills to make them more physically active, such as walking around airports or train stations while waiting for a departure, reduced their body fat percentage and improved their blood pressure and heart function as much as individuals participating in structured programs at a fitness center. in another study, fat women ranging in age from 21 to 60 who adopted a more active lifestyle lost as much weight as women in a low-impact aerobics (有氧健身) programand regained fewer pounds in the following year.recognizing the value of different levels and types of activity, the american college of sports medicine has changed its recommendations on quantity and quality of exercise to include flexibility as well as aerobic and muscle exercise and to acknowledge that multiple short periods of exercise during the day are nearly as beneficial as one long session. 28. by saying that almost one third of americans are sedentary, the author means _.a. they take proper exercise to be healthyb. they know nothing about light activityc. they are very fond of physical activityd. they take little free-time physical activity29. we can learn from the passage that _.a. light activity is especially good for the middle-aged peopleb. people like light activity because it wont make them feel tiredc. people only need to do light activity three times a week to keep fitd. light activity promotes peoples well-being physically and mentally30. what do health experts suggest about moderate activity?a. no less than half an hours moderate activity daily can do us good.b. moderate activity is no better than light activity to people.c. “lifestyle” activities dont belong to moderate activity.d. people may go to the gym to take moderate activity.31. according to the passage, which of the following belongs to a structured exercise program？a. doing gymnastics at a gym.b. taking outdoor activities.c. walking.d. gardening.d nowadays it is common that people are buying more products and services than ever before through the internet, so do americans. and experts say the popularity of online sales is likely to spread to other countries. online sales now represent as much as 10% of all retail sales in the united states. this has led traditional stores to seek new ways to keep their customers loyal. taking lynne for example, she made good use of the internet, she used the internet to buy everything she needed for her wedding and holiday gifts for her husband and stepdaughter. other than food, 90% of her purchases were made on her home computer. “i find that, by being able to go online, choose the things that i need, and have them delivered to me right at my doorstep, i eliminate all the driving, all the crowds, all the noise of that, and i usually get a better selection.” there are a lot of people like her. experts say american online shopping hit records in both november and december. 57% of americans have bought something electronically. store owners worry that this growing amount of online sales will hurt their business. cornell university marketing professor ed melaughlin says they can keep their customers by selling goods like clothing, which buyers may want to see and try on before purchasing. the stores could also offer things that are difficult to ship. besides, some stores can please customers by offering to repair electronic products.bill martin is the founder of shopper trak. his business helps stores learn about their customers. he said, “there is still a lot of emotion in the buying decision, you know, that takes place. often you need that last sense of “boy, this is exactly what i want before you are ready to part with money, and you cant always get that online. its a rather cold process.” while e-commerce worries some business owners, the only worry for delivery services is keeping up with the number of packages. ups manager dana kline says her company is very busy at this time of the year.ups is so busy that it has filled 55,000 temporary work positions during the holiday season.32. the purpose of this passage is to tell us _.a. the challenge online owners are faced with b. the difference between online sales and traditional sales c. the challenge e-commerce causes to traditional salesd. the trouble that customers often meet when purchasing online 33. the example of lynne is mentioned in the passage to show_.a. online sales will replace traditional sales sooner or laterb. online business has changed many americans life c. traditional stores cant offer enough food to their customers d. traditional stores find new ways to keep their customers loyal 34. the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by “_”.a. include b. decrease c. avoid d. discourage35. it is implied in bill martins words that _.a. store owners should learn more about their customers b. traditional stores can provide goods to buyers more quickly c. some owners are using websites to persuade people to visit their storesd. traditional stores offer a social experience that some people
