cautiously第三部分阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑.ai am sure weve all come across inspiring quotes that made us nod in agreement or made us think, “wow, thats good quote”. but we end up going back to procrastinating (拖延) on whatever it was we were procrastinating on. so are these inspirational quotes even worth reading? well, that depends. quotes, books, articles, audio programs all of these things are just tools and theyre only effective when you use them. i dont know about you but most quotes i read dont do anything for me. however, every now and then, i will come across one that will positively affect me in some way such as reminding me to be grateful, getting me to work out extra hard at the gym without being pressed by my wife, or never give up when things get tough. from my experience, reading quotes is more effective when youre actually trying to motivate yourself rather than just reading them for the sake of reading them. the second you feel the urge to take action, youd better immediately get up off your chair and take action. these quotes arent for everyone. if you have read tons of them and have never been motivated or had a positive change in the way you look at life or how you treat others, or these quotes dont help you to insist on doing something when you feel like giving up on it, then its probably not worth your time reading more of them. if you have done something a bunch of times and its not giving you the results you want, dont keep doing it. try something else. now if youve found some value in reading these quotes in the past, continue to make them more effective by letting them guide your life. ill end this text with one of my favorite quotes, which reminds me to constantly examine my habits. “we are what we repeatedly do. excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.”- aristotle61. what attitude does the author have towards most quotes he has read? a. negative b. grateful c. doubtful d. interested62. what does the authors wife expect him to do? a. to be grateful for life. b. to exercise at the gym c. to do extra work at home d. to read more inspiring quotes63. for whom will the quotes be effective according to the author? a. those who read them carefully b. those who lack practical tools in life c. those who have no one to turn to for help d. those who take immediate action after reading them64. in paragraph 4 the author stressed that_. a. reading quotes is worthwhile b. reading quotes will make you different c. you can stop reading a quote when you are busy d. you can stop reading a quote if it doesnt benefit you65. what is the purpose of the passage? a. to persuade people not to waste time on quotes. b. to explain how to make inspiring quotes effective. c. to encourage people to read more inspiring quotes.d. to give people advice on how to choose useful quote. bhave you seen a historical film recently? do you think it was accurate? some say that there is no such thing as a historical film. in many cases, hollywood film-makers simply change the facts. just look at these supposedly “historical” films.1. the patriot the film was released in 2000 and was directed by ronald emmerish and starred mel gibson. it is set near charleston, south carolina, during the american revolutionary war(17751783) and follows the story of benjamin martin and his fight for american freedom against the british. the film was criticized for inventing and exaggerating british cruelty. the most criticized scene was one showing the burning of a church containing people of the town, of which there is no historical record. another historical inaccuracy was the description of american-owned slaves being freed to serve with the american forces. in reality, many slaves ran away from their american owners and fought with the british against the americans.2. brave heartthe film(1995) starred mel gibson was directed by toby reisz. it is based on the life of scottish national hero william wallace and his fight against english rule in scotland during the 13th century. the film includes an affair between william wallace and princess isabella (based on isabella of france). the film implies she is a mother-to-be when william wallace will be killed. however, historically, the real isabella was a child of nine still living in france at this time, never having met wallace. the film also caused controversy because of its anti-english nature. apparently, when the film was shown in glasgow, there was a loud noise made by happy american audience.3. u-571this 2000 film was directed by jonathan mostow and starred mathew macconaughey, havey keitel and jon bon jovi. it took place during the second world war(19391945). in the film, a german submarine(warship underwater) is boarded in 1942 by american soldiers who made themselves up as germans. they took away the german submarines code-language machine, which, in the film, helps the americans get many secret messages from germany. however, the film was heavily criticized because it was actually the british who got the machine in may 1941 when they boarded u-110. the movie was also criticized for showing a scene where the u-boat sailors killed american sailors in the water after their ship sunk, which is, in 99% cases, impossible to happen.4. the 300 spartansthe latest controversy surrounds the film the 300 spartans. the film (directed by zack synder) tells the story of the battle between the greeks and persians in 480 bc. it is regarded as a key event in the birth of western democracy(民主) by some historians. in the film, 300 spartans under the king fight against the enemies, 120,000 persians led by emperor xerxes. the tiny spartan forces repeatedly gain advantage over the invaders. these actions delays the persians attack and gives the greek armies enough time to prepare for the defense of athens. but the iranians (modern-day persians) arent happy with the film. they say the film describes them as savage, killing-loving, and war-loving.66. this article mainly _.a. praises four “historical” films b. shares with us four great moviesc. tells the readers about the inaccuracy of four “historical” filmsd. expresses the writers positive attitude towards the “historical” films67. as far as time is concerned, the war in _ broke out earliest.a. the 300 spartansb. u-571c. the patriotd. brave heart68. mel gibson, a great american actor, starred in _.a. the brave heart and u-571b. the patriot and brave heartc. the 300 spartans and brave heartd. the patriot and the 300 spartans69. the passage probably comes from a(n)_.a. film posterb. fashion magazinec. film reviewd. tour guidecmany science fiction stories tell about explorers arriving in a new world. the explorers then use some kind of high-tech device to test for breathable air or signs of life. but here on earth, science fiction is becoming reality through a new sampling technology called environmental dna, or e-dna for short. scientists can use it to identify rare or invasive species, study bio-diversity or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water.ryan kelly is an ecologist at the school of marine and environmental affairs at the university of washington in seattle. he works in a laboratory there with other researchers. they study the genetic material released by living creatures. “essentially we can take a sample of soil or air and in our case water, and we can sequence（to arrange the order of genes）the dna out of it and tell you what is there.”ryan kelly says he and his research team are studying water samples collected from puget sound. he says the cost of gene sequencing has “been reduced greatly in recent years.” that makes dna testing more widely available.envi
