Many people have seen Harry Potter and The Halfblood Prince since it came out last July. And just like the readers of the Harry Potter books,the theater audience have included children,teenagers,and adults.

  The Halfblood Prince is the sixth Harry Potter movie,and is based on the sixth in the se?ries of seven books written by the author J. K. Rowling. The story of the final book,The Deathly Hallows,is going to be told in not one but two movies,which will come out in 2010 and 2011.

  In some ways,The Halfblood Prince is just like the other stories：Harry is again the hero fighting against the forces of evil,a lot of the action takes place at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,and there are familiar things such as the game of Quidditch (sort of like soccer,although it is played in the sky and the players ride on broomsticks) .

  One of the differences with this movie is that we see less of the evil wizard Lord Voldemort,but there is still a lot of evil in the story―in fact,most movie critics say The Halfblood Prince feels "darker" than the other movies because you can feel the presence of Voldemort most of the time.

  This is certainly true at the beginning of the movie,when there is an attack on London by Voldemort's followers,the "Death Eaters". Like a few other things in the movie,this was not in the book of The Halfblood Prince,and might therefore be a surprise for many Harry Potter fans.

  Another difference is that the movie spends more time looking at the relationships between the students at Hogwarts. Harry,Ron,Hermione,and the others are now teenagers rather than children―there is even a little romance in the story.

  Daniel Radcliffe,19, Harry Potter in the movie,said he will be "very sad" when the series movies end,but also excited because he will be able to play different roles.

(   ) 1. We can learn from the passage that         .

   A. the focus of the final movie is to be " romance"

   B. Daniel will play different roles in the final movie

   C. There will be eight Harry Potter series of movies in all

   D. J. K. Rowling wrote about an attack on London in the sixth book

(   ) 2. The passage is mainly about         .

   A. the popularity of J. K. Rowling

   B. The Deathly Hallows,the final book

   C. the sixth movie of Harry Potter series

   D. the differences between the sixth movie and the final one

(   ) 3. "The Death Eaters" in Paragraph 5 are         .

   A. part of the evil side   B. heroes against Voldemort's followers

   C. Harry Potter's fans   D. new friends in the Hogwarts School

(   ) 4. What mainly makes the sixth movie of the series different from the others?

   A. The main characters have grown up.

   B. The game of Quidditch can't be seen in it.

   C. The less presence of Voldemort makes viewers feel easier.

   D. Harry Potter develops a friendship with Ron and Hermione.

A篇：本文主要介紹了哈利波特電影第六部' 與其他幾部的不同之處。

1. c細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段"rte ft#-Bfood Prince is the sixth Harry Potter movie,and is based on the sixth in the series of seven books written by the author J. K. Rowling. The story of the final book,The Deathly Hallows,is going to be told in not one but two movies"可知C為正確答案。文中講到第六部電影中有"愛情"內(nèi)容，不是最后一部電影，A不正確。文章最后一句話"but also excited because he will be able to play different roles"并非說他在最后一部電影中扮演不同角色，B不正確。文中第五段講到"襲擊倫敦"這一情節(jié)在小說中沒有，因此D不正確。

2. C主旨大意題。通篇介紹的是第六部電影的不同之處，因此，正確答案為 C.

3. A詞義猜測(cè)題。從文章第五段的介紹"Voldemort's followers,the ' Death Eaters '" 可以看出Death Eaters是伏地魔的追隨者，而并非與伏地魔戰(zhàn)斗的英雄。

4. A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章的第六段談到這部電影與其他幾部不同之處在于更多的篇幅放在幾個(gè)主要人物成長(zhǎng)后的情感關(guān)系上。由第三段"and there are familiar things such as the game of Quidditch"可知答案B不正確。由第四段"The Half-Blood Prince feels i darker' than the other movies because you can feel the presence of Voldemort most of the time."可知答案C不正確。主要人物之間發(fā)展友誼并不是這部電影的不同之處，在前面的幾部電影中已有相關(guān)內(nèi)容，因此D不正確。

 Tall people live happier lives than their more vertically challenged peers,according to a new study. It is 1        that most miserable men are almost an inch shorter than average.

  The volunteers were asked to 4        themselves somewhere on a " life ladder" and asked about their emotions.

  5       the findings,people who were taller were also more likely to be 6        about their life and were more likely to judge themselves as happy. They were also 7        likely to feel a range of 8       emotions including sadness and physical pain,9       they were more likely to experience stress and anger,and 10       they were women,to worry.

  Men who reported that their lives were the " worst possible" were in general more than eight tenths of an inch,or two centimeters,11       than the average height.

"Our dad saw happy memories everywhere he looked. All we could see was old furniture and dust. " They learn " it's hard to take a picture of a story someone tells" or of what it feels like " falling asleep in a house full of cousins and uncles and aunts. " But some pictures you can keep in your mind. The Lemonade War By Jacqueline Davies,Houghton Mifflin,192 pp.， $16 (ages 6〜：L0) Jacqueline Davies' earnest but entertaining story deals with feelings and money,and how both can get complicated.

Cohan,illustrated by Warren Kimble Walker,23 pp.， $16. 95 (ages 5〜8) Who remembers George M. Cohan's 1906 musical,George Washington Jr.？

Their manager was Cal Ripken Sr.，who was fired after six losses. The book is dramatically illustrated,but Ripken was a far better ballplayer than writer.
