you have a wife and daughter.” But Moresco kept working at his chosen craft.Then in 1983 his young brother Thomas was murdered in a moblinked killing.Moresco moved back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony of Hells Kitchen.HalfDeserted Streets，based on his brothers killing，opened at a small OffBroadway theatre in 1988.A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplay.His reputation grew，and he got enough assignment to move back to Hollywood.By 2003，he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis，a director who had befriended him，Haggis wanted help writing a film about the country after September 11.The two worked on the writing，but every studio in town turned it down.They kept pitching it.Studio executives，however，thought no one wanted to see a severe，honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in modern America.Moresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money，sold his house.He and Haggis kept pushing.At last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance，but the upfront money was too little，Moresco delayed his salary.Crash slipped into the theatres in May 2005，and quietly became both a hit and a critical success.It was nominated for six Academy Awards and won threeBest Picture，Best Film Editing and Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Paul Haggis and the kid from Hells Kitchen.At age 54，Bobby Moresco became an overnight success.“If you have something you want to do in life，dont think about the problems，” he says，“think about other ways to get it done.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇人物传记。文章讲述了Bobby Moresco的职业生涯，他克服各种困难，坚持不懈，最终走向成功。1Rearrange the following statements in terms of time order：aHis work Half-Deserted Streets drew attention as it opened at a small OffBroadway theatre.bUnexpectedly Crash became both a hit and a huge success.cHe moved to Hollywood to be a taxi driver and a waiter.dHe started to learn acting in spite of hardness with the belief of doing something different.eHis younger brother Thomas was killed in conflict among bullies.Ad，c，e，a，b Bd，e，c，b，aCc，d，e，a，b Dc，e，d，b，a答案A细节理解题。文章是按照事件发生的时间顺序介绍Bobby Moresco的奋斗历程的，从开始学习表演到在好莱坞开车、做酒吧侍者到弟弟遇害，再到他的作品引起关注直至一夜成名。故选A项。2Why didnt Bobby Moresco tell anyone that he started taking lessons at age 17?AHe wanted to give his girlfriend a surprise.BHis girlfriend did not allow him to do this.CHe was afraid of being laughed at.DHe had no talent for acting.答案C细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“Fearing their ridicule，he told no one，not even his girlfriend，when he started taking acting lessons at age 17.”可知，他没有告诉别人他正在上表演课是因为他害怕被嘲笑。故选C项。3Which of the following sentences is NOT true?AHis father did not support his work as a bartender.BBefore he became an overnight success，his life experienced ups and downs.CHis brothers death inspired his writing HalfDeserted Streets.DMoresco grew up in New Yorks Hells Kitchen which is a few blocks east of Broadway.答案D正误判断题。根据文章第二段第一句“Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks east.”可知，百老汇在Hells Kitchen的东边，即Hells Kitchen在百老汇西边。因此D项错误。故选D项。4The Studio executives turned the script Crash down because _Athey thought the script would not be popularBthe script was not well writtenCthey had no money to make the film based on the scriptDthey thought Moresco was not famous答案A细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“Studio executives，however，thought no one wanted to see a severe，honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in modern America.”可知，制片商拒绝他的作品是因为担心没人愿意去影院观看。故选A项。5The passage implies that Bobby Moresco _Agave up the job of being a construction workerBhad a dream different from most people in the neighborhoodCstarted writing when he moved to HollywoodDbecame famous thanks to his fathers encouragement答案B推理判断题。根据第一段最后三句中“he started taking acting lessons at age 17.If you were a kid from the neighborhood，you became a.Not an actor.”可知，Moresco的梦想与附近街区人们的梦想是不同的。故选B项。6Which of the following can best describe Bobby Moresco?ACaring and brave.BShy but hardworking.CCreative and persistent.DAggressive and modest.答案C推理判断题。根据文章中描述的Bobby Moresco的形象可知，他是个有理想且能坚持梦想的人，并且最终创作出了优秀的作品。所以他有创造力且有毅力。故选C项。社会生活型阅读理解(一)- We all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles (肌肉) of your neck, or because an unexpected twist(扭曲)has made your neck ache.

We have all met such people.One is the man who always seems to be clapping his handsoften at the wrong timeduring a performance in the theatre. He keeps you from hearing the actors.Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and the play begins. They come hurrying down to your row of seats.

You are proud of yourselfcontrol after they have settled into their seatsWell, what nowGod, one of them is up again.

He wants you to enjoy it too, and blows smoke across your food into your mouth.We must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway and sits down next to you, just as close as you will let him. You are reading the newspaper and he gets closer so that he can read the paper with you.

It is not exactly a bribe(贿赂), but is close to it.All sorts of people are “apple polishers”， including politicians and people in high officesjust about everybody. Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party, but failed.There are other phrases meaning the same thing as “applepolishing”“softsoaping” or “butteringup”. A gift is just one way to “softsoap” somebody, or to “butter him up”. Another that is just as effective is flattery, giving someone high praisetelling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how talented and wise he is.Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love to hear it? Only an unusual man can resist the thrill of being told how wonderful he is. In truth, flattery is good medicine for most of us, who get so little of it.We need it to be more sure of ourselves. It cannot hurt unless we get carried away by it. But if we just lap it up for its good value and nourishment, as a cat laps up milk, then we can still remain true to ourselves.Sometimes, however, flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England. The king got tired of listening to endless sickening flattery of his courtiers(朝臣). They overpraised him to the skies, as a man of limitless might.He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and sat down. Then he ordered the waves to stop coming in. The tide was too busy to listen to him. The king was satisfied. This might show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery was.1Which of the following activities has nothing to do with “applepolishing”？AA boy tells his girlfriend how pretty she looks.BAn employee tells her boss how good he is at management.CA knight is said to be of limitless power by his followers.DA teacher praises her students for their talent and wisdom.2What does the writer want to prove with Cromwells example?AEverybody can be an apple polisher.BCromwell was not a good apple polisher.CGeorge Fox and his party were not apple polishers.DThere are people who dont like being applepolished.3Which of the following statements about flattery is TRUE according to the author?AToo much flattery can carry us away.BFlattery is too empty to do people any good.CFlattery can get you nothing but excessive(过度的) pride.DFlattery is one of the ways to applepolished people.4Why did King Canute of Denmark and England take his followers to the seashore?ABecause he was sick of his normal life.BBecause he disliked being overpraised any more.CBecause he wanted them to realize h
