The title of the movie refers to the story in the Bible (圣经) where people tried to build a tower to reach Heaven. Angry God prevented them by confusing their languages so that they could no longer understand one another.The movie tells a number of intersecting (相交) stories about the world we live in and the problems we suffer due to our inability to communicate. The first story talks about a married couple Brad and Cate visiting Morocco. One day theyre traveling by bus through a rocky area when a gunshot wounds the wife. The husband flies into hysterics trying to save her life. However, since hes in a foreign country, he suffers from his inability to communicate with the locals. Then, theres the story of the shooters, Yussef and his brother, who are given a gun by their father to help guard the sheep. They are fooling around with the gun and fire a shot on a passing bus. At first, they refuse to tell anybody what happened for fear of the trouble but when the police come knocking, they are forced to come out with the truth with tragic results.The next story follows the children of Brad and Cate. They are living back in California under the care of the family nanny, Amelia. The shooting delays the return of their parents but Amelia was eager to attend her sons wedding in Mexico. At last she is forced to bring the children over the border（边境）along with her nephew Santiago. When traveling back over the border later that evening, they are stopped and questioned by the border police. After a couple of miscommunications, they are asked for some identification（身份）at which point Santiago tries to escape and leave Amelia and the children in the middle of the desert.The final story deals with a Japanese family Chieko and her father Yasujiro, who sold the gun to the father of the two young boys. Chieko is a deaf mute (哑巴) who has a whole other set of communication problems. And because her inability to communicate makes her different, she isnt afraid to give a little attitude to anyone who she thinks deserves it. How does her father fit into all of this? The movie really opens peoples eyes to a lot of problems in our modern world. Its just a great job all around. The best movie this year!59. Who shoots the tour bus on which Brad and Cate sit? A. Amelia. B. Chieko. C. Santiago. D. Yussef.60. Why does Santiago try to escape at the border?A. He didnt have proper identification.B. He doesnt expect the police are waiting.C.

She is tough in some ways to the people around.C. She is shy to communicate with people around.D. She is not afraid to show her attitude to others.62.

Point out that there is nothing in it; then show them both sides of your hands, which are also empty. Now ask a member of your audience to give you a match. Ask him to put a mark on it with a pen or a pencil. Fold up the handkerchief with the match in it, and let everyone present see you do this.Give the handkerchief to anyone in the audience and say: “Heres the match. Can you feel it? Good! Now I want you to break it into two pieces.” When he or she has broken the match, you say “Would anyone like to feel the broken match in this handkerchief?” several people will probably want to feel it. When they have satisfied themselves that the match really is broken, you say, “Now Im going to make the match whole again.” Perhaps your friends will say that that is impossible.Hold the handkerchief in one hand and pass your hand or your wand (magic stick) over it, saying: “Abracadabra, abracadabra.” Open the handkerchief and let the match fall on to the table or floor, saying “Presto” as it does so. When the audience examine the match, they will find that it is quite whole and undamaged. The member of the audience will see his mark on the match. Everyone will be amazed!The secret of this trick is quite simple, as in all magic tricks. Long before you do the trick you must do one thing you must push one of your own matches into the hem (摺边) of the handkerchief. This must be pushed well along the hem so that it cannot fall out or be seen. When you have wrapped up the match provided by a member of the audience you must take care that it is the match in the hem which is broken, and not the other. You should practice the trick in private, of course, before you perform it before an audience. 63. The magician shows both sides of the handkerchief in order to _. A. show the audience what the handkerchief is like B. push a match into the hem of the handkerchief C. let the audience put a mark on it with a pencil D. make the audience believe there is no trick in it64.

He needs to draw the audiences attention away. C. He pretends something super-natural will happen. D. He wants to calm his beating heart and nerve.66. This magic is actually a _? A. trick of replacement B. chemical change C. language cheatingD. quick hand movementDFour Wonders of the WebGoogle Works MiraclesGOOGLE () is a daily miracle to millions of people. If the Internet had only this very fast search engine, it would have justified its existence many times over. It is the most popular search engine on the web with a 54% market share, ahead of Yahoo! You type almost anything, however unclear, into the space provided and in a second it has come up with hundreds of references. If knowledge is power, then Google commands the gateway. Yahoo Becomes GiantYAHOO () was the first wonder of the web, and in many respects, it still is. It started in January 1994 when two California graduate students, Jerry Yang and David Filo, started compiling (编译) a database of links, mainly for their personal use. But well before the end of the year, it had become recognizable as Yahoo we know today. In the past seven years, Yahoo had grown rapidly, partly through a long string of buys. Yahoo now offers almost everything you could want: emails, instant messages, chats, clubs, photo albums and a lot more.eBay Enables Everyone to Buy and SelleBAY (), which deals with online trading and shopping services, is the most impressive large internet company where people buy and sell goods and services worldwide.
