21、Call of the Wild
“According to Tibetan legend, the day the world’s first ray of sunlight struck Mount Kailash in Ngari Prefecture of China’s Tibet Autonomous Region, was the day the first yak (耗牛)was born. Kailash’s ridges are the yak’s backs. Yaks are the herd of the mountain god.” The narration is accompanied by shots of picturesque (优美的) plateaus and snow-capped mountains, taking viewers right into the vast wilderness of Tibet.
This is the opening scene of the documentary The Land of Spirits. It tells the tale of four “holy” animals-the wild yak, white dolphin, Asian elephant and Amur tiger. They were used as totems (图腾) in ancient times but today, they are the species that best reflect the region’s ecological status.
Principal director Zeng Hairuo set out to document the relationship between humans and these animals. But why are they “holy”? In ancient times, human power alone was not strong enough to accomplish big things and so huge wild animals were honored as gods; but with the development of modernization, mankind began to disappoint nature.
The film illustrates the land through the creatures living on it; it’s also not a purely animal-focused story because it contains the interaction between these creatures, ancient people and contemporary people as well as presents the prehistory of the land and the source of local culture through the stories of animals and humans alike. “We want to help rebuild mankind’s reverence (敬畏) for life, for animals, and restore our ability to communicate with nature, ” Zeng said.
“This is the difference between Eastern and Western thinking,” Zeng said. “The Western documentary style prefers more sub-disciplines and a subdivision of research.” Zeng brings the audience a typical Chinese way of recording the scene: nature and humanity as one, in other words, one story mixing animals, mankind and nature.
As far as Zeng is concerned, one cannot mention these four animals without bringing in the human factor. Observing these animals is like looking in a mirror for humans, which makes this documentary stand out from many other nature documentaries, he said.
【1】Why does the documentary feature four remarkable animals?
A．To serve as totems.
B．To promote the modernization.
C．To represent the local ecosystem.
D．To reflect the human-animal conflict.
【2】What can we learn about the story from paragraph 4?
A．It shows the native culture.
B．It describes the animals in Tibet.
C．It tells the life of the people there.
D．It motivates man’s respect for nature.
【3】What makes the film unique?
A．The technique-based style.
B．The human-centered theme.
C．The picturesque scenes.
D．The wisdom of harmony.
【4】What does the director think of the film?
A．Instructive.
B．Appealing.
C．Entertaining.
D．Persuasive.
22、In my first week as a graduate student at Cambridge University in 1964 I met with a fellow student, two years ahead of me in his studies; he was unsteady on his feet and spoke with great difficulty. This was Stephen Hawking. I learned that he had a bad disease and might not live long enough even to finish his PhD degree.
But, amazingly, he has reached the age of 73. Even mere survival would have been a medical miracle, but of course, he didn’t merely survive. He has become arguably the most famous scientist in the world for his brilliant research, for his bestselling books, and, above all, for his astonishing victory over hardship.
Stephen received his “death sentence” in 1964, when I thought it was hard for him to go on with his study. Stephen went from Albans School to Oxford University. He was said to be a “lazy” undergraduate, but his brilliance earned him a first-class degree, an “entry ticket” to a research career in Cambridge and a uniquely inspiring achievement.
Within a few years of the burst of his disease he was wheelchair-bound, and his speech was so unclear that it could only be understood by those who knew him well. But his scientific career went from strength to strength: he quickly came up with a series of insights into the nature of black holes (then a very new idea) and how the universe began. In 1974 he was elected to the Royal Society at the exceptionally early age of 32.
The great advances in science generally involve discovering a link between phenomena that were previously conceptually unconnected — for instance, Isaac Newton realized that the force making an apple fall to earth was the same as the force that holds the moon and planets in their orbits. Stephen’s revolutionary idea about a link between gravity and quantum(量子) theory has still not been tested. However, it has been hugely influential; indeed, one of the main achievements of string theory(弦理论)has been to confirm and build on his idea. He has undoubtedly done more than anyone else since Einstein to improve our knowledge of gravity and he is one of the top-ten living theoretical physicists.
【1】 What impressed the author most about Stephen Hawking?
A. His brilliant research.
B. His defeating hardship.
C. His serious disease.
D. His bestselling books.
【2】What made Stephen Hawking start his research career at Cambridge?
A. His death sentence.
B. His “lazy” attitude.
C. His above-average talent and ability.
D. His rich experience.
【3】It can be inferred that Stephen Hawking was born .
A. in the early 1940s B. in the late 1940s
C. in the early 1930s D. in the late 1930s
【4】 What can we learn from the text?
A. Hawking’s theory was proved years ago.
B. Hawking was not as successful as Newton.
C. Hawking’s theory has had little influence on others.
D. String theory built on Hawking’s idea.
23、 Homelessness is a big problem across the world. Many people and organizations are working to solve it. Mel Young from Scotland and Harald Schmied from Austria are two such people. In 2001, the two men attended an international conference about the problem of homelessness. Later, they began to wonder if football could help solve the problem. In 2003, they decided to start the Homeless World Cup organization. It chooses and trains local homeless people for the yearly football competition. Today, about 500 people from almost 50 countries play in the Homeless World Cup. And the program is changing lives.
Damien is from Ireland. For many years, he struggled with drug（毒品）addiction. But in 2006, he played for Ireland's Homeless World Cup team, and since then, he has been drug free!
Many of the Homeless Word Cup players, like Damien, have struggled with drug addiction. However, some players are homeless because of poverty. Alex is one of them. He says, “I was born in Mathare, the biggest, worst slum (贫民窟) in Kenya. I could not find anything to eat. Also schooling was a problem. My life started when I started playing football.” Football gave Alex joy. It taught him to work hard and helped him believe that he could achieve something.
Football can even help people who have experienced extreme tragedy. Najib, a young man from Afghanistan, has lived through much war. Many of his family members have died. But football has helped him survive. “It is only during the games that I do not think about my situation. I'm not interested in anything other than football and it’s the only thing I desire，” Najib explains.
Drugs, poverty and war are common causes of homelessness. Playing in a football competition may not directly treat drug addiction, solve poverty or end war，but it can give people emotional strength and help them learn important life skills.
【1】What do we know about the Homeless World Cup?
A.It is held every year.
B.It first took place in 2001.
C.It is the idea of two troubled football lovers.
D.It was introduced at an international conference.
【2】After playing in the Homeless World Cup, Alex ______.
A.gave up taking drugs B.began to live a rich life
C.got a good school education D.became confident about the future
【3】What does the underlined word “desire” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Remember B.Watch
C.Want D.Create
【4】What would be the best title for this text?
A.Football for everyone B.Last hope for the homeless
C.End homelessness from now on D.Beat homelessness through football
24、Dear Leilei,
The big eyes. . . the pointed ears. . . the soft hair. Cats are adorable, and I can understand why you want one.
If you are struggling to be persuasive, this is what you should do. Try to convince them that getting a cat will benefit them. Don’t constantly shout at them demanding a cat, but walk softly, be quiet and clever, like a cat in the night. Explain to them how much happier they will be with a cat, and how after a long day of work a little kitten would be the perfect friend to greet them.
Besides, it’s not enough to say that you want a cat because you like them. You must be more imaginative in convincing them how it will benefit you. A line I would use would be “If I get a cat, my grades will be better.”
Maybe a cat can help provide you with support when you are in your room alone for long periods of time doing your homework or revising, or that experience with a real animal will help you understand the animal kingdom for biology.
If they don’t give in to you and you still have a fondness for cats, then why not visit a friend who has one? It’s true that a cat doesn’t need a daily walk like a dog, but having any pet is a lot of responsibility, involving endless cleaning and feeding for your furry friend. Also, the number of cat cafes nowadays means that there are lots of opportunities to play with them and you do not have the messy task of cleaning up after them.
