You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their hands. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞擊) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are well trained. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks (花招,手段). Here are two sides to their work. They do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床墊). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntmen’s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously hurt, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, flew over the edge of a cliff (懸崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落傘) failed to open, and he was killed. Although it is full of deadly dangers, this is no longer the work for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous actions. For nowadays there are stuntwomen too! (357)
小題1:Stuntmen are those who ______.
A.often dress up as famous actors
B.prefer to lead dangerous lives
C.often perform dangerous actions
D.often fight each other for their lives
小題2:What’s the meaning of the underlined sentences in the first paragraph?
A stuntman should _______.
A.crash bravely though a window made of sugar
B.do the well-planned activity at a very moment
C.open his parachute when he jumps down the cliff
D.have got a high degree of skill and training
小題3:Which could probably the best title of this passage?
A.Fights in the Movies.B.Crashing Out of the Window.
C.Exciting Films Today.D.Most Dangerous Work.

小題1:C
小題2:B
小題3:D

試題分析:這篇文章主要介紹了特技替身演員。他們使用花招和手段。通常他們的成功依賴精確的時間計算。他們的報酬很高,但是特技表演也有危險。他們常常受傷,有時有會死亡。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。根據Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are well trained. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen.句意:因為從高高的窗戶上掉下來,或者從飛馳的火車上跳下來,或者撞車著火的這些人是受過好好訓練的。他們這么做是為了生計。這些人叫做特技替身演員。故選C。
小題2:推理判斷題。劃線句句意:常常特技演員的成功依賴精確的時間計算。例如:當他在戰(zhàn)爭場景里被炸飛時,他必須在正確的時間在爆炸中跳起來?芍麄儜撛诤线m的時間做計劃好的事。故選B。
小題3:標題歸納題。這篇文章主要介紹了特技表演這個危險的工作。故選D。

When I was a little child ,my parents took me to German. 小題1:  .When I came back, I could speak German fluently. “ Can I do something useful with German?” I asked myself.
Then, I got a good opportunity last spring. During that time our university had a long holiday, so I stayed at home with nothing to do.   小題2:  . “ Why don’t you translate(翻譯) it into Chinese? It will be better than playing computer games all day.” I agreed happily.
I promised to do 4,000 words each day. But soon I found it was hard to keep the promise.
One day in May, the weather was beautiful. 小題3:   .Those 4,000 words were still waiting for me. After translating only three pages, I already lost interest in the book. I looked at it for a long time. But I couldn’t make myself turn the pages.    小題4:    
I counted (數)the words again and again. I just wanted to give up. I felt as if two people were fighting in my mind. One said, “Don’t give up! Keep working hard ,and you will do well!” But then the other one said, “Go and play! It will be more interesting than translating. Do your homework tomorrow.”
I stood up and would turn off the computer. But then I remembered what my parents had told me, “ Whatever(無論什么) you do, don’t stop half way.”  小題5:    .
A.My father brought me a German book

It was early evening on September 14th. Glen James, a homeless man was passing by a store inBoston when he happened upon a black bag. To see whose the bag is, Glen opened it only to find that it was filled with money - $2,400 in cash and almost $40,000 in traveler’s checks, as well as, a passport and other papers.
While other people in similar situations would have been tempted (引誘), Glen who has been homeless since 2005, did not even think twice. He showed the bag to a police officer, and the police officer gave it back to a Chinese tourist who had reported it lost. What Glen did was reported by newspapers, all over the country.
While most people that read itfelt surprised at the man’s honesty, 27-year-old Ethan Whittington thought Glen should get money for what he did. So he decided to set up a money collection website. He set a goal of $50,000, which he believed was reasonable because it was more than what Glen had discovered in the bag. The marketing manager fromVirginia thought he would be lucky to raise a few hundred dollars. Instead, within just a day, the website had gone over the $50,000 goal, encouraging Ethan to set a higher goal of $250,000 so that he could help Glen buy a house and start a new life.
As of now, $113,000 has been raised. Ethan who has talked to Glen over the phone, plans to visit Boston soon and also help him manage the money wisely. Needless to say, the homeless man is surprised at whathe is receiving for doing the right thing – Honesty, certainly pays off!

小題3:What did Ethan decide to do after he read the news of Glen?
小題4:How much money has been raised by now?

Dear Alice,
You really have two difficult questions here, so we’ll discuss them one at a time. Your problems at school may be a result of a number of things. You don’t say much about how these classmates get along with each other. It’s possible that all the students are feeling a little cautions(謹慎) in the first term.

In your letter you often offer to help others with their work. Is it possible that your classmates didn’t understand your offers? Could it seem that you were trying to “buy” friends with these offers?
Is it possible that you took no notice of your classmates when you had your good friends near you? They may have left hurt at that time. It may take a time for them to believe in you. If so, try to ask one classmate directly what the problem is. If you hear a negative(負面的) answer,at least you’ll know what to do.
