Friends chat in the dining room and boys play football.But theres a big surprise when the movie ends with two students going crazy in the school - shooting and killing people.This is Elephant. Filmed in just 20 days, it starts real school kids. American director Gus Van Sant had no ready-made lines. The student actors made up their own dialogues. Van Sant asked them to base their characters on their own lives.Although it may not sound very high quality, the film won the Planme dOr(金棕榈奖) for Best Film and the award for Best Director at the Cannes film festival in France on May 25. The film is based on the shooting at a high school in the US, where two boys killed 13 people and then themselves in 1999.The title of the movie refers to the old expression about a problem thats as hard to ignore as an elephant in the house.The film tales a close look for a few hours into the lives of the victims and the killers. It shows how high school is a different experience for everyone - fun and friendly, or hard and lonely.In many ways, the two boys, who carry out the shooting, act like ordinary kids. They joke around with one boys mother as she serves them cakes and plays the piano. But, there are hints of the anger they feel inside. One of the boys is bullied at school. The other plays violent video games. But Van Sant isnt blaming their killings on either bullying or violent games. In fact, the film doesnt offer any reason why school violence happens.“I didnt want to explain anything. Its up to the audience to draw its own conclusion,” said the 51-year-old director.56. The description of a normal day in American high school at the beginning of the film is intended to _.A. show what life is like in American high schoolB. tell that the film is set in an American high schoolC. introduce the unexpected, dramatic ending of the filmD. suggest that some kind of danger is hidden57. The lines of the film were _.A. created by student actors B. given by the directorC. carefully designed by professional people D. thought out by the director during the acting58. The film doesnt tell why school shootings happen _.A. because the mental problems of students are hard to explainB. because there are some hints of the reasonsC. because life itself is the problem makerD. because it leaves room for the audience to think and judge59. The film is named Elephant because _.A. an elephant is a symbol of bit problem in American schoolsB. an elephant is always gentle and never causes troubleC. the two boys liked elephants when aliveD. elephant is used to suggest that school crime is a big problemBResearchers are placing robotic dogs(机器狗) in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old peoples depression, physical activity, and life satisfaction. “No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated(刺激),” Edwards points out. “The problem is how we promote(使成为现实) that, especially for those without friends or help. A robotic dog could be a solution.”In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. There old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.“I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a seventy-year-old lady. “When Im watching TV, hell stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.“At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog, because it was metal and not furry,” Beck says, “But its amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.”“Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more-valuable health helper. They will record their masters blood pressure, oxygen levels, or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older peoples minds.”60. The purpose of Beck and Edwards study is to _.A. understand human-animal relationshipB. make lonely ole peoples life betterC. find the causes of old peoples lonelinessD. promote the animal assisted research 61. In the research, the old people are asked to _.A. note the activities of AIBOsB. keep AIBO at home for 12 weeksC. record their feelings and activityD. analyze the collected information62. What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs?A. It is easier to keep at home.B. IT can help the disabled people.C. It responds to all the human orders.D. It can watch TV with its owner.63. The author seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may _.A. cure certain diseasesB. keep old people activeC. change peoples beliefsD. look more like real dogsCAn Australian man has beaten 75 other contestants from around the world to win a race up the stairs of the worlds tallest building, Taipei 101.Paul Crake, 30, ran up 91 floors containing 2,046 steps in 10 minutes, 29 seconds. Mr. Crake, who has won a similar race up the Empire State Building five times, won US $5,920 in prize money. The womens race was won by Austrian Andrea Mayr, who finished in 12 minutes, 38 seconds and also won a $5,920 prize.Austrian Rudolf Reitheiger, who beat Mr. Crake in this years Empire State Building race, came second in the mens competition. Mr. Crake and Ms Mayr missed out the $30,000 on offer for completing the grueling(精疲力竭的) race in under 10 or 12 minutes respectively.Taipei 101 is 508 metres tall and was finished in 2020, although Chinese developers have said Shanghais World Financial Centre will be taller when completed in 2020.A further 1,001 people took part in a so-called “self-challenging” race up the Skyscraper.The Sears Tower in Chicago, the CN tower in Toronto and the Azrieli tower in TelAviv have all held recent events.Runners also race up the longest staircase in the world-the service staircase for the Niesenbahn - railway near Spiez, Switzerland, which has 11,674 steps.An event for the long-distance stairway runners also takes place in Radebeul, German, where competitors run up 397 stairs 100 times to equal the height of Mt.

Which of the following events has the longest race distance according to the text?A. Taipei 101 race.B. Niesenbahn railway staircase race.C. Radebeul stairway raceD. Empire State building race.67.

The distance of “tallest building” races across the world is usually the same. DVery old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into touch with them. Their values - this cant be repeated too often - are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important for them. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with going-bad food covered with dust on the table, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of anything. Is it doing harm to personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers are the ones who clean up the dust, thinking we are in danger of carrying this idea of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old. Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car: it needs more care as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. Never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. At what point should you stop treating the old body? Is it right to try to push off death by using drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that there is little hope? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel sure to have a try on the belief that while theres life, theres hope. When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun. 68. From Paragraph 1, we can infer that _. A. very old people enjoy living with their relatives B. very old people are able to keep their rooms clean C. social services could have nothing to do with very old people D. very old
