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。2016高考训练-阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。It is commonly believed that people yawn just when they are sleepy or tired as a result of their brain needing oxygen. However, a latest research shows that a yawn can help cool the brain and helps it work more effectively. Researchers said that raising or lowering oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood did not produce that reaction.Yawning involves opening the mouth while taking a long, deep breath of air. Researchersatthe UniversityofAlbanyinNewYorksaid those who held a cool pack to their forehead were less likely to yawn than those who held a warm or room-temperature pack while they were watching people yawning. They also found that those who breathed through the nose rather than the mouth were less likely to yawn. This was because the blood vessels（脉管）in the nasal cavity (腔) sent cool blood to the brain.Since yawning occurs when brain temperature rises, sending cool blood to the brain serves to maintain the best levels of mental efficiency. This could help us to understand better the way our brains work. It may also help us understand the reason why frequent yawning can sometimes be a sign of brain disease.25.

The heaving and gasping had stopped, but he was still making a show of his breathlessness.“Thats better,” Mallon said. “Can you stand up? Try to stand up. Here,” he said, and gripped the pickpockets arm and forced him upright until he saw his face for the first time. As the pickpocket labored for breath, he gazed up at Mallon with his dark eyes.“How could you?”they asked.Mallon might have said, “Because you tried to steal from me.” But he was still conscious of the flush of joy hed felt when his blow struck home when he knew hed hurt the man. Where that joy came from he couldnt say, but he knew that its roots were deeper than some clumsy failed theft.Fat drops of rain began to patter on theawning(雨篷).“How are you?” Mallon said. “Can you walk?” The pickpocket turned away and leant against the store window with both hands, and his head sank lower as his shoulders rose and fell. A gray-haired woman inside the store rapped on the glass and made a shooing motion. When the pickpocket ignored her, she rapped harder and kept rapping.“I have to go,” Mallon said. “Im sorry.” He looked up at the sky. “Im sorry,” he said again, and stepped into the rain and walked quickly up the street.One of the Bangladeshi umbrella sellers was working the corner, and Mallon had just paid seven euros when he heard a woman shouting. He didnt want to look back but did. It was the woman from the shop, pushing and batting the pickpocket away from the window while he bent down and covered his head like a boxer trying to get through the last seconds of a round. Mallon slipped his wallet back into his jacket pocket and took the umbrella that the Bangladeshi had opened for him.The pickpocket was out on the sidewalk now, in the rain. The woman stood just under the awning with her arms crossed over her chest.“Excuse me, madam,” Mallon said, coming up to them. “This man isnt well. He needs to rest a moment.”“I know these people,” she said. “Our Romans dont want them here.”The rain fell in sheets, ran down the pickpockets shinyscalpand face, down his leather jacket.“Here,” Mallon said, and offered him the umbrella, but he only looked at Mallon with his hurt dark eyes and then lowered his head again. Mallon bumped him in the shoulder with the handle of the umbrella. “Go on take it!” he said. And finally, with a beaten, unwilling look, the pickpocket did.And that was when he saw a taxi round the corner with a light glowing on its roof. Mallon ran out waving his arm and the cab turned sharply to the pavement, sendinga lot ofwater over his shoes. He opened the door but couldnt help looking back. The pickpocket had lowered the umbrella to the ground upside down and was leaning on theshaft, head low, neck bared to the sky.“Wait,” Mallon said to the driver. He went back and grabbed the pickpockets sleeve and pulled him to the cab. “Get in,” Mallon said, and took the umbrella and pushed him into the back seat. He leaned inside. “O.K., where do you live?”“No Gypsies!” the driver said. He was twisted around, glaring at the pickpocket.“Gypsy? Look, hes not well. Ill pay,” Mallon added.The driver shook his head. “No Gypsies. Get him out,”Mallon looked at the drivers nameplate: Michele Kadare. “Its the law,” he said, “If you dont take us, Signor Kadare, Ill report you and youll lose your license. Believe me I am quite serious.”The driver fastened those pale eyes on Mallon and turned and put his hands on the steering wheel. He raised his eyes to the rearview mirror and he and Mallon exchanged stares.“O.K., Mr. American,” he said. “You pay.”67. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 indicate?A. Mallon shouldnt have saved the pickpocket.B. The pickpocket didnt thank Mallon for his offer.C. The pickpocket blamed Mallon for his failure to steal.D.

Between paragraphs 7 and 8.D. Between paragraphs 8 and 9.69. From the attitudes of the woman and the driver towards the pickpocket, we can conclude that _.A. the Gypsies had a bad reputation in RomeB. the pickpocket frequently stole around the womans storeC. everyone was protected by the law in Rome except the GypsiesD. the pickpocket couldnt purchase anything in the womans store70. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. The taxi didnt take the pickpocket to his house in the end.B. The pickpocket succeeded in stealing something from Mallon.C.

The development of media channels such as satellite and cable television, the internet and mobile telephones has broken the traditional free television model in every advanced economy. Well managed sports will remain valuable content and many will continue to grow. Forward thinking governing bodies will grasp the opportunity by repackaging their sports to adapt to the new broadcast landscape. Others will not.Brand marketers have seen the effectiveness of the traditional TV sport advertising fall over the last twenty years as audiences for free to air television fall year by year. The growth of sponsorship（赞助）as a marketing tool is one result. However, sport must compete for the sponsor dollar with other forms of content such as music, the arts and culture and cause-related marketing, each of which offers a powerful choice.At the same time some of sports biggest marketers, the soft drink, beer and fast food companies, will come under growing pressure from social and political pressure groups concerned about levels of obe
