Do you enjoy movies that use a lot of speciai effects Dinosaurs from the distant past! Space battles from the distant future! There has been a revolution in special effects, and it has transformed the movies we see.The revolution began in the mid 1970s with George Lucass Star Wars ,a film that stunned audiences. That revolution continues to the present, with dramatic changes in special-effects technology. The company behind these changes is Lucass Industrial Light&- Magic(ILM). And the man behind the company is Dennis Muren, who has worked with Lucas since Star Wars.Murens interest in special effects began very early. At the age of6,he was photographing toy dinosaurs and spaceships. At 10, he had an 8 millimeter movie camera and was making these things move through stop-motion. (Stop-motion is a process in which objects are shot with a camera, moved slightly, shot again, and so on. When the shots are put together,the objects appear to move)Talk to Muren and youll understand what ILM is all about:tak-ing on new challenges. By 1989,Muren decided he had pushed the old technology as far as it would go.He saw computer graphics(图像)(CG) technology as the wave of the future and took a year off to master it.With CG technology,images can be scanned into a computer for processing, for example, and many separate shots can be combined in- to a single image. CG technology has now reached the point, Muren says,where special effects can be used to do just about anything so that movies can tell stories better than ever before. The huge success of Jurassic Park and its sequel(续集), The Lost World, the stars of which were computer-generated dinosaurs.1.The special-effects revolution began in the mid 1980s with Star Wars. （）A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned2.Dennis Muren,one good friends of Lucas,worked for ILM. （）A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned3.ILM is the company responsible for many of the changes in specialeffects technology（）A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned4.Muren dedicated himself to the improvement of old technology （）A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned5.Dennis Muren started his schooling at a very early age （）A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned6.At the age of 10，Muren was able to use computer graphics technology to make things move（）A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned7.By the stopmotion process，many separate shots can be combined into a single image（）A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned8.Muren feels that with CG technology，speeial effects can be used to make movies more expressive（）A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned9.TodayS film makers emphasize special effects at the expense of the story（）A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned10.Computer-generated images have beenused in many films （）A.Right B.Wrnng C.Not mentionpcl第二部分：阅读选择(第1115题，每题2分，共10分)阅读下面短文。请从短文后所给各题的4个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出1个最佳选项。回答11-15题 Goal of American EducationEducation is an enormous and expensive part of American Lfie Its size is matched by its variety.Differences in American schools compared with those found in the majority of other comuntries lie in the fact that education here has long been intended for everyone-not just for a privileged elite.Schools are expected to meet the needs of every child, regardless of ability,and also the needs of society itself. This means that public schools offer more than academic subjects. It surprises many people when they come here to find high schools offering such courses as typing,sewing, radio repair, computer programming or driver training,along with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics, history,and languages. Students choose their curricula depending on their interests,future goals, and level of ability. The underlying goal of American education is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities,and to give each one a sense of civic and community consciousness.Schools have traditionally played an important role in creating national unity and Americanizing the millions of immigrants who have poured into this country from many different backgrounds and origins. Schools still play a large role in the community, especially in the small towns.The approach to teaching may seem unfamiliar to many, not only because it is informal, but also because there is not much emphasis onlearning facts. Instead, Americans try to teach their children to think for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and creative abili- ties. Students spend much time,learning how to use resource materi- als,libraries,statistics and computers. Americans believe that if chil- dren are taught to reason well and to research well, they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their lives. Knowing how to solve problems is considered more important than the accumulation of facts.This is Americas answer to the searching question that thought- ful parents all over the world are asking themselves in the fast-mov- ing time:How can one prepare todays child for a tomorrow that one can neither predict nor understand?11.Which of the following best states the goal of American education? （）A.To teach every learner some practical skills. B.To provide every learner with rich knowledge.C.To give every student the opportunity to fully develop his/herability.D.To train every student to be a responsible citizen.12.It is implied in the passage that （）A.all high-school students take same coursesB.every high-school student must take some practical abilitytraining coursesC.every public school offers the same academic subjectsD.the subjects every student takes may vary13.Americanschoolsplace great emphasison the learners （）A.ment of knowledgeB.accumulation of factsC.acquisition of the ability to be creativeD.acquisition of the ability to work with his hands14.According to the passage,American education meets the needs of all the following EXCEPT （）A.the brightest students （）B.the slow studentsC.the students from foreign countriesD.the immigrants15.Which of the following best states the feature of American education that makes it different from education in other countries? （）A.The large number of its schools.B.The variety of the courses offered in its shcools.C.Its special consideration given to immigrants.D.Its underlying goal to develop every childs abilities to the fullest extent.第三部分：概括段落大意和补全句子(第1625题，每题1分。共10分)阅读下面短文，请完成短文后2项测试任务：(1)从第1620题后题给的6个选项中威第段每段选择1个正确的小标题；(2)从第2125题后所给的6个选项中选择5个正确选项，分别完成每个句子回答16-25题McGradys art is a spectacle_ When Tracy McGrady is healthy, his play can be so beautiful that even his own teammates on the court cannot help but admire it in the middle of a game._ Its hard for me, because Im a fan of basketball. Houston point guard Rarer Alston told the Houston Chronicle newspaper after McGradys 44-point performance against Utah on January 5. When hes shooting the ball like that,a lot of times Im standing there watc- hing and,all of a suden, the other teams getting the ball and going on a fast break, and Im getting yelled at by the coach. Indeed,McGradys body control, his energy, his shooting-watching these arelike watching an artist at work, blending colours, constructing sen-tences,or playing music._Unfortunately,McGrady,27,hasnt always been on the job. Already this season,hes missed seven games with back spasms. AfterYao Ming was injured on Dec. 23, it appeared Houston would bewithout both of its stars. McGrady, however, returned three days later and has been playing well ever since, scoring more than 30 points ineach of the last six games, as of Tuesday. Houston cant seem to get on without him. When McGrady was injured, the Rockets won twoand lost five._Listen, there are only four or five people on the entire planetthat can do the things he can do with the basketball forward ShaneBattier said of McGrady. From a fans perspective-and were fans eventhough were players-its really fun to watch him do that. From a playersperspective,his game can affect the entire tearn No question We see him,and we get excited,and that pumps us up. He keeps making shots,and suddenly it seems to become easier for everybody._But it wont,really. Houston has just begun an important stretchon their schedule. Four of the next seven games will be played awayfrom Houstop-and without Yao. Six of the games will be againstteams with winning records. Opponents will double-team McGrady in an attempt to dull the impact of his art. Instead of watching, McGradys teammates will need to create a little art of their own.16.Paragraph_A.Necessity for the Teammates to Improve Their Own SkillsB.Evaluation from Two Different PerspectivesC.Spectacular Performance on the CourtD.Players Houston Cant Do withoutE.McGrady,an Excellent Basketball PalyerF.McGradys Injury17.Paragraph_A.Necessity for the Teammates to Improve Their Own SkillsB.Evaluation from Two Different PerspectivesC.Spectacular Performance on the CourtD.Players Houston Cant Do withoutE.McGrady,an Excellent Basketball PalyerF.McGradys Injury18.Paragraph_A.Necessity for the Teammates to Improve Their Own SkillsB.Evaluation from Two Different PerspectivesC.Spectacular Performance on the CourtD.Players Houston Cant Do withoutE.McGrady,an Excellent Basketball PalyerF.McGradys Injury19.Paragraph_A.Necessity for the Teammates to Improve Their Own SkillsB.Evaluation from Two Different PerspectivesC.Spectacular Performance on the CourtD.Players Houston Cant Do withoutE.McGrady,an Excellent Basketball PalyerF.McGradys Injury20.Paragraph_A.Necessity for the Teammates to Improve Their Own SkillsB.Evaluation from Two Different PerspectivesC.Spectacular Performance on the CourtD.Players Houston Cant Do withoutE.McGrady,an Excellent Basketball PalyerF.McGradys Injury21.McGrady plays basketball so well_A.that his teammates cannot help admiring himB.that he is often yelled at by the coachC.who can play basketball so wellD.because he had been injuredE.if Houston hopes to winF.since he returned22.He has helped his team gain more points in some games _A.that his teammates cannot help admiring himB.that he is often yelled at by the coachC.who can play basketball so wellD.because he had been injuredE.if Houston hopes to winF.since he returned23.Yao Ming missed several games_A.that his teammates cannot help admiring himB.that he is often yelled at by the coachC.who can play basketball so wellD.because he had been injuredE.if Houston hopes to winF.since he returned24.There are very few people on the Earth_A.that his teammates cannot help admiring himB.that he is often yelled at by the coachC.who can play basketball so wellD.because he had been injuredE.if Houston hopes to winF.since he returned25.Everyone will have to contribute_A.that his teammates cannot help admiring himB.that he is often yelled at by the coachC.who can play basketball so wellD.because he had been injuredE.if Houston hopes to winF.since he returned第四部分：填句补文(第2630题，每题2分。共10分)下面的短文有5处空白。短文后有6个句子其中5个取自短文，请根据短文内容将其分别放回原有位置。以恢复文章原貌。回答26-30题Critical ReadingCritical reading applies to non-fiction writing in which the author puts forth a position or seeks to make a statement.
