its cover.” and neither should we judge movie stars by their ages.at just 21, elle fanning made history by becoming the youngest jury(评审团) member at the cannes film festival. this year it lasted from may 14th to may 25th. “i was in complete shock when i got that phone call and that question if i wanted to be a member of the cannes jury，” fanning said during a press conference.as it turned out, it not only shocked the us actress, but also brought criticism from those who believed fanning was too young compared to other veterans in the industry. but fannings acting experience was in fact a good argument for her jury membership. in fact, fanning has been a hollywood fixture for longer than you realize.the 21yearold has been in many big productions. she began acting in i am sam at age 3. with lead roles in movies like super 8, we bought a zoo and maleficent under her belt, shes appeared in 60 projects and is one of hollywoods hottest young stars. fannings devotion to work numbers her among the few former child stars who continue to act as adults.in her latest movie teen spirit, which hit us cinemas last month, fanning plays a pop singer. since she had no singing experience, fanning had to work with grammywinning music producer marius de vries for three months before the filming started. “i would go to his apartment and sing through all the songs every day，” she said. “he videoed me and recorded me singing everything and made me watch it back again and again to improve my skills.”with such rich acting experience and devotion to her art, fanning certainly was able to “represent a new class in film” at the cannes film festival.4what does the underlined word “veterans” probably mean?ashocked actresses. bgreen hands.cexperienced people. dmusic producers.5in which film does

employees of basecamp, a chicagobased web application company, have a short work week: just four days a total of 32 hours. also, they usually work five days a week for the rest of the year.“thats plenty of time to get great work done. this is all we expect and all we want from people，” says jason fried, a cofounder. “working 50， 60， or 70plus hours is unnecessary. in fact, if you have to work 50， 60， or 70plus hours a week, theres a management problem.”the companys summer workload must fit reduced hours, mr. fried insists, otherwise the benefits of a shorter week to recover from work, enjoy time with family and pursue (追求) outside interests would be undone.his new research finds that it is not just long hours that are harmful to employees physical and mental health. it is also the intensity (强度) of work. moreover, it suggests that intense work harms career prospects. that is because unbearable hours and intensity are in the opposite direction, reducing the quality of the work.the research concludes that the level of intensity we apply to the work we do is generally “a stronger predictor of unfavorable outcomes than overtime work”the research compared people of similar jobs and education levels, and found they were more likely to suffer poorer happiness and worse career prospects, including satisfaction, security and promotion, when they worked at an intense level for long periods.8what do we know about basecamps fourday work week?ait lasts nearly half a year.bthe work pressure is too high.cthere are some management problems.demployees work more than 8 hours a

rely on “the negro motorist green book” to guide them to the few settlements that were then safe for blacks.分析：句中“that were then safe for blacks”为that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词settlements。译文：他们必须依赖“the negro motorist green book ”来引导他们到定居点，那些定居点那时对于黑人来说是安全的。1b考查细节理解。根据各部电影介绍中的“current rank”可知，the favourite的星级最少，故选b。2c考查细节理解。根据green book部分最后一句中的“that were then safe for blacks”以及“type：drama”可知，c项正确。3d考查细节理解。根据a star is born部分的内容可知，既是导演又是演员的是bradley cooper。【语篇解读】俗话说，不要以貌取人。我们也不要以年龄来评价电影明星。21岁的艾丽范宁成为戛纳电影节历史上年龄最小的评审团成员。尽管有人认为她太过年轻，不够资格，可是范宁在三岁时就开始了表演，此后她在多部电影中扮演角色，成为好莱坞最红的年轻明星之一。凭借丰富的表演经验和对艺术的热爱，范宁无疑能够在戛纳电影节上“代表电影界的一个新阶层”。4c考查词义猜测。根据第三段第一句可知，范宁当选为戛纳电影节评审团成员招致了一些人的批评，他们认为范宁与业内其他资深人士相比过于年轻；据此可推知，画线词意为“经验丰富的人，老手”，故c项正确。5d考查细节理解。根据第五段第一句“in her latest movie teen spirit . fanning plays a pop singer”可知，d项正确。6b考查推理判断。根据第五段叙述的无唱歌经验的范宁为扮演一位流行音乐歌手所做的努力和尾段中的“with such rich acting experience and devotion to her art”可推知，作者认为范宁是一位对工作尽心尽力的演员，故b项正确。7a考查主旨大意。根据第二段第一句“at just 21, elle fanning made history by becoming the youngest jury(评审团) member at the cannes film festival”并结合全文其他内容可知，本文主要讲述了21岁的艾丽范宁成为戛纳电影节历史上年龄最小的评审团成员，并介绍了她的演艺经历，故a项正确。【语篇解读】本文以一家总部位于芝加哥的网络应用公司basecamp的54名员工将近半年时间每周只工作4天，共32小时的情况为例说明了较短的工作周有益于人们的身心健康，并以一项研究来证明。8a考查细节理解。根据第一段可知，一家总部位于芝加哥的网络应用公司basecamp的54名员工在每年5月到9月期间每周的工作时间都很短：只有四天，共32小时，持续5个月，大概半年时间，故选a项。9c考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“working
