Reading comprehension(50%)A. Choose the best answer(12%)The small Italian city of Siena sits on top of a hill. It makes for beautiful views. But if youre trying to get a piano to the top, it means a lot of work. But Dothan Negron was not afraid of the challenge. For him, pushing a piano from place to place is a regular task. In five year time Dothan travelled to over 300 cities in 21 countries with his piano sharing his love of music with people from USA, Mexico, Canada and a number of European countries.When Dothan first graduated from college, he changed jobs very often.

All through these years, he has had over 1200 contacts in his phone book. “Who would have though that playing the piano is the best way to clear up misunderstanding?” Dothan said.Now, Dothan plans to travel to Asia and Australia, and continue to meet more aspiring people.69.

Choose the words and complete the passage.(12%)Today, more and more popular novels, both modern and old, are being turned into films in Hollywood. Yet why are some of these films so successful, while others seem to lose the main idea of the book completely?CharactersOne of the most important things in a film is having characters that the audience can relate(与.有某种联系). It doesnt not matter what job they do, where they live, or even whether they are good or bad. However, the audience must be able to recognize something of themselves in them. 75 , no one wants to spend two hours watching people they do not like or understand.ActorsWhen you read a book, you often build a picture of the 76 in your mind. For example, if you have imagined a character as short and dark-haired, it can be quite a surprise when you go to the cinema and see a tall actor with blond hair. Producers often feel the need to 77 famous actors, but they should not do this unless these actors are completely right for the story. When they put the wrong person in the film, they often ruin the effect of the film as a whole.Learning 78 Books can be read over a long period of time. So writers can look very closely at every little detail, and spend a lot of time thinking about the best descriptions. People producing films have to make them move more 79 , or they are afraid that their audience will get bored. Thats why the most important is learning which parts should stay, which should be cut from the film.EndingsThe biggest problem with some films is that they change the ending to make it happier, and this may let part of the audience feel pleased. To many people, however, it loses the meaning of the book. A film needs to stay true to the main idea of a book, even if it makes some people 80 . There are few things worse than seeing a book you love turned into a terrible film.75. A. After all B. By the way C. In addition D. At last76. A. famous actors B. main characters C. beautiful houses D. attractive views77. A.choose B.become C.report D.meet78. A.where to start B.when to finish C.how to act D.what to cut79. A.easily B.carefully C.quickly D.clearly80. A.frighted B.tired C.disappointed D.unluckyC. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.(14%)We all remember seeing hitchhikers(搭便车者). They stood by the side of the road, thumb sticking out, waiting for a lift. But hitchhiking is getting rare nowadays. What killed it? S 81 is often mentioned as a reason. Movies about hitchhiking killers and real-life crimes have stopped many drivers from picking up hitchhikers. No single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester. This fact show peoples fear:a large, strangely dressed man is though to be a d 82 person.But the reason my be more complex(复杂的): hitchhiking happens where people dont have cars and transport services are p 83 . Plenty people still hitchhike in some countries. Perhaps the rising level of car ownership in the U.K. makes the few hitchhiking people look strange. Why cant these people a 84 cars? Why cant hey take the bus or the train?Three-quarters of the UK population have cars; many of those that have no cars are quite old. So the potential(潜在的) hitchhiking population is small. Yet on my way to Manchester, I got a lift from several people. My t 85 proves that its still possible to hitchhike. Those who picked me up i 86 a lawyer, a retired doctor, a tank commander, a worker, a man who lives in a lonely farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains. Most people just wanted to do someone a favour; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldnt help stopping.The future of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing which is organized over the Internet. But for now, you can still stick your thumb out (a 87 , I didnt do much of that. I preferred to hold up the sign of the place I wanted to go) and people-wonderful, caring, sharing, unafraid people-will stop.In the UK, with its cheap buses and reasonable railway service, I dont think Ill form a habit of hitchhiking.D.answer the questions(12%)My day started just like all the other days. I left fro the train station at 7:30 a.m to arrive at work by 8:30. “Just another day,” I thought.I didnt know why but for some reason when I got on the train that day, it was unusually full. I sat down in the only seat beside a man who had his head down an seemed to be lost in his though. Shortly after the train left I found myself wondering what could be so important that the man didnt even see me. I tried to forget about it. However, for some strange reason this “inner voice” kept asking me to talk to this man.At last I made up my mind and though of an excuse to ask him a question. When h e raised his head, I could see that he must have been really sad as he had red eyes and still had tears rolling down the side of his face.We talked for about 20 minutes and he seemed to be feeling better. As we were leaving the train, he thanked me politely for spending the time talking with him. I never found out what made him so sad, but was glad I listened to the “voice” that day.Several weeks later, I noticed a letter on my desk. It was from the man I met on the train, thanking me for saving his life. In it he explained that with no hope he shouted to God that if God reall
