24、The human brain is divided into two sides, or hemispheres, called the right brain and the left brain. The two hemispheres work together, but each one specializes in certain ways of thinking.

Each side has its own way of using information to help us think, understand, and process informa-tion.The left side of the brain controls language. It is more verbal and logical. It names things and puts them into groups. It uses rules and likes ideas to be clear, logical, and orderly. It is best at speech, reading, writing, and math. You use this side of the brain when you memorize spelling and grammar rules or when you do a math problem.

The right side of the brain is more visual and creative. It specializes in using information it receives from the senses of sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste. This side of the brain likes to dream and experiment. It controls your appreciation of music, color, and art. You use this side when you draw a picture or listen to music.Although we all use both sides of our brains, one side is usually stronger or dominant. Some people are more “left-brained,” and others are more “right-brained”. Our dominant side influ-ences the kinds of jobs and hobbies we have. Politicians, artists, architects, and musicians depend on their right brains. Accountants, engineers, doctors, and lawyers usually rely on their left brains.

26、   In 1996, film director Roland Emmerich destroyed the White House-on camera. That was for his movie Independence Day, in which space aliens invaded Washington D.C.

Emmerich is blowing up Washington again in his new movie, White House Down. But this time the bad guys are terrorists.

White House Down is an action movie, but it also has an emotional side. Between the explosions and other special effects, the film deals with the relationship between the hero and his daughter.

The hero is John Cale, a soldier who served in Afghanistan. He goes to the White House for a job interview for the Secret Service. When a terrorist bomb goes off at the Capitol, the White House goes on lockdown. John is still inside with his daughter Emily. They get separated during all the danger and disorder. John has to save his daughter – and ,of course, the president.

Actor Channing Tatum plays John Cale. He needed to be in good shape for the movie, since he was to perform difficult physical scenes. The actor was already known for having a good looking body. Last year, People magazine named Channing Tatum the “Sexiest Man Alive.”

Actor and singer Jamie Foxx plays the President of the United States, James Sawyer. Jamie Foxx says his character is not modeled after President Obama although the character is African-American.

Roland Emmerich says he wants his film to be like the action movies of the 80s and 90s. Its explores the serious theme of American national security. But it’s also pure entertainment.

Critics are mixed about the movie. The New York Post says, “You couldn’t ask for a more fun summer popcorn movie.” But The Chicago Tribune calls it offensive and overblown.

【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The president in White House Down is modeled after President Obama.

B. Channing Tatum was named as the “Sexiest Man Alive” by Time magazine.

C. White House Down contains no entertainment at all.

D. Critics have different opinions about White House Down.

【2】What is the main idea of Roland Emmerich’s new movie White House Down?

A. Love. B. Friend ship.

C. American national security. D. Relationship between father and daughter.

【3】The underlined phrase “goes off” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by“________”.

A. escapes B. explodes C. destroys D. appears

【4】Roland Emmerich is a famous ________.

A. film director B. film star C. singer D. dancer

【5】The passage is most probably taken from ________.

A. a travel magazine B. a film magazine

C. a book on American culture D. a book on political science

27、Birth order—does it matter? Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family—or maybe the last of nine?

A study found that first-borns have an average(平均的) IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first-borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first-borns 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns. First-borns are more likely(可能的) to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay.

If first-borns are more successful, last-borns are generally more agreeable. They are also more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine article, “The power of Birth Order.” last-borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.

Then there are the middle children: we have not ignored(忽视) them! Many middle children are short of one-on-one time with their parents. They often feel short-changed: the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is spoiled(宠坏的). Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to grow into easygoing adults.

Many factors(因素) make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may be one of the most important factors.

【1】Who is most likely to be a CEO?

A．A first-born.

B．A second-born.

C．A third-born.

D．A last-born.

【2】What can we learn about Jim Carrey?

A．He was likely to be given low pay.

B．He was likely to be agreeable.

C．He was a first-born.

D．He was a middle child.

【3】What does the underlined word “short-changed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean in Chinese?

A．受亏待的

B．受控制的

C．受宠爱的

D．受欢迎的

【4】We can learn from the research that birth order ________.

A．has no influence on IQ

B．matters a lot at the dinner table

C．may decide who we are

D．is a factor in making us powerful

【5】What would be the best title for the text?

A．Where Is Your Place in the Family?

B．Who Improves Your Social Skills?

C．What Makes You Successful in Life?

D．How Can You grow into a big Man?
