Its thought that he used an astrologer throughout the Second World War.The wife of former American president Ronald Reagan,Nancy,was also a firm believer in astrology.She employed an astrologer to ask about President Reagans future safety after the president was shot.Though some people may consider astrology superstitious(迷信的),others think it is both a science and an art.Since the moon has an effect on the ocean,and 75 percent of the human body is made up of water,it is reasonable to say that astrology,a study of the stars,may affect humans as well.Therefore,if viewed in this way,astrology may be believable and it is easy to see why it is so popular.21.What is the main idea of the article?A.More and more people,especially stars,are interested in astrology.B.Astrology is becoming popular and has some basis m science.C.Famous astrologers can predict events correctly.D.People should use astrology,every day.22.Which of the following events was NOT predicted by Nostradamus?A.The terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.B.The killing of President Kennedy.C.The outbreak of World War II.D.The birth of Fuhrer Hitler.23.What can we learn from the passage?A.Astrology is one of the most popular topics on the Internet.B.Astrology can help change peoples lives for the better.C.Only a few Wall Street brokers use astrology.D.Most of Americans believe in astrology.24.The author tends to think astrology is.A.boring B.puzzling C.believable D.StrangeBIf you want to write a movie script(脚本)yourself but dont know how,what would you do? The following can be of some help to you.There are only three parts necessary in a script: the Scene Heading,the Visual Exposition and the Dialogue.The Scene Heading begins with either “EXT.” or “INT.”.EXT.shows that the scene takes place outdoors ,while INT.is used when the scene takes place indoors,for example,inside a room.After that,the exact place of the scene is given,such as “HOTEL ROOM.” The last thing that must be mentioned is whether it is NIGHT or DAY.The Visual Exposition is a description of the action or movement that takes place on the screen,and should include ONLY what you would see if you were watching the screen.For the first time,and only the first time,a character appears in the script,the name is capitalized(大写),and should be followed by a short description that includes age and build,for example: The Dialogue follows the Visual Exposition.Each characters name should be capitalized in the center of the page,followed by the words that are to be spoken on the next line.Do not include any description of feelings before the lines of dialogue.If you consider it necessary to show a character gives a line in a certain way,for example,“angrily,” this should .be included in the Visual Exposition above the lines,such as,“Cynthias face shows her anger.” But remember,Visual Exposition should ONLY show action we can see.25.In a script the Scene Heading tells the story takes place.A.where and when B.at what time of a dayC.what has happened when D.on which day of the week26.If a story takes place in a park on a Friday morning,which of the Scene Headings is right?A.INT.FRIDAY-DAY.

CFilm director James Cameron first became interested in sea exploration when he was a little boy.His love for the ocean grew after he made the 1989 undersea adventure film The Abyss and the 1997 blockbuster Titanic,one of the most successful movies of all time.Following that big success,James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to become an explorer.In 2020,James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench,known as Challenger Deep.And now the great journey has been made into a documentary(记录片) film,named James Camerons Deep-sea Challenger 3-D.In James Camerons fantasy films,such as Avatar and The Abyss,the unexplored areas are decorated in colours and full of danger.But on his dive into Challenger Deep,the reality proved far different: white,deserted and dull.“I felt like I had gone to another planet,“Cameron said after returning from the cold and dark place in the WesPacific Ocean ,nearly 7 miles below the surface.” I really have a sense of being separated and realize how tiny I am down in this big,black and unexplored place.” Cameron captured(获取)the moon-like landscape of the deep sea and documented the sea creatures he observed in the ocean.James Camerons Deep-sea Challenger 3-D tells the story of Camerons journey.It is a film about determination, danger and the oceans greatest depths.The movie shows a unique insight into Camerons world when he makes his dream a reality and makes history by becoming the first person to travel alone to the deepest point on the planet.Its an exciting film and inspiring reminder that our beautiful planet still has a lot to explore.29.What is the unexplored ocean like?A.Colourful and dangerous.B.Boring and deserted.C.White and attractive.D.Small and dull.30.What can we know about James Camerons Deep-sea Challenger 3-D?A.It is a film about the exploration of ocean creatures.B.It is a story about Camerons film-making dream.C.It aims to attract more people to explore the deep sea.D.It tells us about James journey into Challenger Deep.31.What is the best title for this passage?A.The Great Dream of a Film Director B.A film Director Exploring Deep SeaC.James Cameron and His Documentary FilmD.The First Person to Make Films About the Deep SeaDThe stories we share with one another are important.They show wisdom and provide inspiration.They are important to our development.But sometimes people choose not to tell.Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told.Bobette Buster said it was like this,The fact is,history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie(妖怪)left in a bottle.When they are finally uncorked their power to destroy is set free.”There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course,there are some stories that should be kept secret-especially those that embarrass someone else.Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside.And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves,the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.Honesty and openness is important.It proves we are trustworthy.It displays we are human.We are not perfect or better.It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development.Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely.But with hard work,we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.Does this mean we admit every weakness,every disadvantage,and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No,of course not.There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.32.Whats the function of the example in Paragraph 2?A.It reflects that people are concerned about the spread of Ebola.B.It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.C.It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.D.It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.33.One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that .A.story-sharing highlights the importance of hard workB.people are used to exposing their weaknessesC.people sometimes have no courage to share their storiesD.some stories make people feel sad34.Which is close in meaning to the underlined word uncorked in Paragraph 3?A.freed B.broken C.unfolded D.untouched35.The writer aims to convince us to .A.be open to people close to you by sharing some secretsB.share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselvesC.remove the dangers that can be caused by untold storiesD.realize the importance of being honest when making friends第二节：（共5小题，每小題分，满分10分）The traditional American school year begins in late August or early September.It ends in May or June,followed by summer vacation. 36 Because long ago,young people had to help their families harvest summer crops,At least this is what people today may think. 37 A recent report from an education policy center at Indiana University explored the historical roots of the traditional school calendar.In the early days of the United States,children were not required to attend school calendars depended on local needs. 38 They worked on family farms during the other months,City schools were often open much longer,some for eleven months of the year.After the Civil War,more and more people saw the need for a system of required education. 39 Many city schools wanted a shorter year and a longer summer break,The schools were often crowded. There was no modem air conditioning.Hot days would make it difficult to learn.Many rural educators, however, pushed for a longer school year.They thought it would keep children safe from industrial dangers when there were few child-labor laws.So the traditional school calendar was a compromise(折中) .The average school year used to be one hundred and seventy days.Times have not changed much. 40 But some experts think the traditional school calendar needs to change because the needs of the nation have changed.This thinking has led some schools to keep students in class longer.A.Why such a long break?B.Today the common average is one hundred and eighty days.C.Americans think highly of their traditional school calendar.D.Most schools had similar school calendars.E.But the reason has more to it.F.Students in rural areas went to school for no more than six months of the year.G.But they had different ideas for the calendar.第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空 (共 20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)I was in desperate need of a break.The “witching hour”,was upon us once again,dinner was burning on the stove,and fights were 41 between my two children.The crying was never- ending and I was 42 the end of my rope.But I was holding down the fort until after bedtime.I 43 a friend who has four children the same ages as mine,and she was in a similar 44 .Our husbands were 45 the same meeting that night.I could hear the screaming in the 46 ,interrupted by Jens shouting.She kept 47 the phone to pick up the baby because he was crying.It seemed as if we were all suffering 48 .Couldnt there be a way for us to break up the sameness? 49 !The first play date was at Jens house the following Wednesday at 4:00 pm.
