AThe Exterminating AngelDirector: Luis BunuelCountry/Date: Mexico/1962(black and white)Introduction: A party is organized in a high class society house. Many people are drinking and eating. It’s getting late, but nobody is leaving. Even though the door is open, people seem to be locked in the house. They can’t leave either the day or on the following days. So a rescue began.The NetDirector: Irwin WinklerCountry/Date: USA/1995Introduction: Angela Bennettt is a computer programmer who has devoted her life to computers and the Internet. She spends hours and hours in front of the screen. She does everything over the Internet, and she has some close friends in a chat room, though she has never talked to her neighbors.Kung Fu PandaDirector: Mark Osborne & John StevensonCountry/Date: Mexico/2008Introduction: The leading character is a panda whose name is Po.

Five years later, their lives changed. Guido and Joshua were taken by Nazis(纳粹) to a concentration camp and Dora also went there with her husband and son. At that place, Guido tried his b est to save his son’s life in a special way.21．Who is the director of The Net ?A．Luis Bunuel B．Mark Osborne C．Irwin Winkler D．Roberto Benigni22．Which film is black and white?A．The Net B. The Exterminating Angel C．Kung Fu Panda D．Life is Beautiful 23．Which film is especially fit for kids?A．The Exterminating Angel B. Kung Fu Panda C．The Net D．Life is Beautiful 24．What can we learn about Life is Beautiful?A．The story is set in World War II.B．It is about a rescue of pe ople who can’t leave a house.C．It was made in America in 1995.D．The main character is absorbed in computer.BThough there are about 400 languages from all over the world that are in danger of disappearing completely, Zoque Ayapaneco, a native Mexican language is considered the most likely to become extinct, because the only two people in the world that speak it fluently do not talk to each other!And, it's not because they live in different countries, states or even villages. In fact, Manuel Segovia and Isidro Velazquez, both in their 70s, live within 500 yards of each other, in the village of Ayapa in the Southern Mexican State of Tabasco. They, however, refuse to communicate because they simply don't have much in common. Segovia is apparently a little flank in nature while Velazquez is described as shy.Segovia was at least able to talk in Zoque Ayapanece with his brother until he passed away about 12years ago, and still manages to practice it with his family, especially his son Manuel, who for the last five years has been trying to learn it and hopes to become fluent enough to teach it to the next generation. Velazquez on the other hand, has not been heard speaking in the language with anybody.The two men say the language used to be widely spoken in the village, but the younger generation shunned it for fear of being laughed at, and it therefore began to die a slow death, as the elders passed away.Unless the two men get their acts together, the only way to hear the language will be to either listen to Manuel's not-so-fluent statement or see them talk in a documentary entitled “Lengua Muerta” (Dead Language) that is being filmed to capture Zoque Ayapaneco and 364 other native Mexican languages that are in a similar state.We sure hope Segovia and V elazquez soon find something common to talk about. Maybe the fact is that the language is dying and that they should start encouraging and teaching the next generation together.25. What do we know about Zoque Ayapaneco?A. It was widely used twelve years ago.B. It will be dying out if no effective measures are taken.C. It will be popular in Mexico in the near future.D. It is a Southern American language.26.

From the passage, we can conclude that________.A. altogether 365 languages are becoming extinct in the world.B. Segovia and Velazquez will communicate with each other soonC. the government cares a lot about the protection of Zoque AyapanecoD. we can hear the language from Manuel or documentary “ Lengua Muerta”28. What's the main idea of the passage?A. World's endangered languages are being filmed.B. Villagers are trying to protect their old language.C. An endangered language is spoken by only two people.D. There are a lot of languages in Mexico.CPlastic surgery(整容手术) is not only popular in the US, but is also sweeping across Asia. It is reported that South Korea is now the world’s largest market for plastic surgery.In order to change their looks, 20 percent of women aged between 19 and 49 in Seoul said they had gone under the knife. The growth of South Korea’s pop music industry increases the popularity. Many patients visit clinics(诊所) with photos of singers, asking doctors to copy their noses or eyes.Joo Kwon, who founded one of the largest clinics in Seoul, recently opened a hotel to better serve customers. People will spend about US $17,675 in a single visit. An increasing number of clients are non-Koreans, from China, Japan, the Middle East and even Africa. Leaders in South Korea say that this will help the Korean economy.However, Mr.Kwon warned that young people should be careful when seeking such operations. “I think South Korea doesn’t understand the word “beauty”, because everyone looks pretty much the same. It is also related to low self-confidence. I think the situation will somewhat become better in future as the society becomes more different. But it will take quite a bit of time until we get there,” he told reporters.Last yeas, a booklet(小册子) was given out to Korean high school students by the government. There isa story that a local woman who was crazy about plastic surgery ended up with an ugly face.29.What is the main cause of the increase in plastic surgery in South Korea?A.

Other people collect works of art or musical instruments. But a man in the American state of Maryland collects secrets.For the past 10 years, people from all over the world have been sending Frank Warren postcards and other objects with secrets.Mr. Warren lives in Germantown, Maryland, near Washington D.C. Ten years ago, he created an art project that he calls “PostSecret”. I invited strangers from all around the world to write down their secrets on a postcard, something they’d never told anyone else before, but something that was true. And I asked them to mail it to my home anonymously (匿名地).” People send him postcards, other objects and emails, telling him their secrets. Every Sunday , he choose 10 secrets and puts them on the Postsecret website.Mr. Warren says he created Postsecret so people would have a safe place in which they could share their secrets. “ It was a safe place where others could share their secrets with me. I was struggling with secrets in my own life. I think that space was something I needed just as much as they did.”He has published six books full of the secrets people have shared with him. One secret in each book is his. Eric Perry delivers mail for the U.S. Postal Service. He has brought thousands of secrets to Mr. Warren’s home over the past three years. The project itself was once one of Mr. Warren’s secrets. His wife Jan did not know exactly what he was doing until the first book was published.Some people tell Frank Warren of their secret desire to kill themselves. So he and the Postsecret website have raised more than US$ 1 million to help prevent people from committing suicide(自杀).33.How does Frank Warren collect secrets?A.
