20、the direction I want them to go. In the 1986 movie, “Nothing in Common”, Jackie Gleasons character, Max Basner, gets fired from his job as a clothing salesman. The scene, shot on a boat, shows Maxs despair about being out of work. I was looking for some gesture that would allow Max to show his feeli

21、ngs. Jackie had far more experience at everything than I did, and at first I was frightened. What could I possibly tell “The Great One” about acting Finally I decided to direct by suggestion, and sat down with Gleason to talk about the scene. “So Max is sad, right ” I said. Gleason nodded. “And hes

22、probably still carrying his pens with name on themthe ones he used to hand out to his customers, right ” Gleason nodded. “So what would you want to do with the pens after you were fired ” He was silent for a moment. “Why dont I throw them overboard ” I stood up and turned up and turned toward the cr

23、ew. “Hey, everybody, Jackie has a wonderful idea. Lets shoot it.” After filming the scene, Gleason called me over and said with a smile. “Garry, what kind of wonderful idea am I going to have tomorrow ” You and your team can discover the answers to problems together.

27、es（沙丘） before. If you go to the seaside in Britain, you may see some small hills of sand, but nothing very impressive. Of course, Africa is home to many beautiful “sandscapes”, but I was in China, so I went to Dunhuang. I had spent my first day looking at the beautiful Mogao caves. Now I wanted to e

28、xperience something very different. I have been walking in Asia, Europe and America, but nothing prepared me for walking over hills of sand. Whenever I took a step up a hill, my feet would sink into the sand and move backwards. Sometimes it seemed as if I were moving in the wrong direction. I wanted

29、 to see the sunset so I had to climb to the top of the highest sand dune. The sun was beating down upon my back as I walked slowly over the sand. Some plants had managed to survive in the dry ground but not many. As I climbed higher, the hills of sand became steeper and my feet started to slip furth

30、er backwards. I ended up with my hands and knees, crawling (爬行 )upwards through the top. I just let go if I would fall the way down. But I refused to give up: inch by inch, I made my way to the top of the sand dune. When I got there I was amazed by what I saw. The sand formed a very sharp point, jus

31、t like a knife-edge. One side of the dune was bathed in sunshine, the other covered by shade. As I looked into the distance, the same pattern was repeated on all of the hilltops, and the difference between dark and light was beautiful. As the sun began to sink, the shadows grew longer and the light

32、became warm and orange. The wind had come to life and sand was blown against my legs as I walked along the dunes. Soon it was getting dark and I could only just make out the line of footprints that marked my journey to the top of the hill. I slowly made my way down to the bottom, my path lit by the

33、dying sun. 65 The author probably went to climb the sand dunes _ after he arrived at Dunhuang. A. on the afternoon of the first day B. on the afternoon of the second day C. on the evening of the second day D. on the evening of the first day 66. Which of the following statements is NOT true A. Africa

34、 has many beautiful sand dunes. B. The author could see nothing but his own footprints on his way back. C. The author had seen some kinds of sand dunes before he visited Dunhuang D.

35、st hill of sand _. A. on his hands and knees all the way B. with falls to the bottom many times C. on his hands and knees in the last leg (一段旅程 ) D. with a few rests all the way 68.

Advertisements are often expressed completely in English. When I go to the gym, there ar

37、e “aerobic-classes (增氧健身法课程 )”. We “warm up”. We go “jogging.” In business, we attend a “meeting” and we have “good connections.” Other nations, like France, have taken action to protect their language from the influence of “Americanization”. In Germany, however, there is concern that those rules co

38、uld be connected with Hitlers Third Reich (帝国 ), when the language had to be pure. If the government curbed（限制） the use of English words now, this could be considered by some as a return to that terrible past. Some German citizens are now trying to stop the use of English vocabulary in German. Howev

39、er, I think generally it is not a big deal to use some common English expressions as they often describe things more directly. But we should know that it is important to use English correctly. All too often, bad English is spoken or even written instead of good German. The proper use of the German l

40、anguage would be the better choice. However, there are some fields that require the use of English words, for example, in the high-tech communication and the Internet fields, there is no alternative to English. Also, I think sometimes I have to speak English when I introduce some scenic places to to

41、urists. I think you have to find a balance and decide when it is better to use good German in place of bad English or when the use of correct English words is more suitable. Languages have always changed naturally, and I disagree with a restriction by law. Some nice expressions borrowed from other l

42、anguages can make a conversation more vivid. 69. By giving many examples in the first paragraph, the writer shows that _. A. most Germans have no difficulty in understanding English B. English is more and more widely used in Germany C. it is more convenient to use English in some situations D. Engli

A. all languages except English could be used B. some foreign languages could be used C. only the upper class could speak English D. only the German language could be used 71.

44、 What job does the writer probably do A. A travel guide B. A lawyer C. A computer engineer D. A teacher 72. What is the writers attitude towards the use of English in Germany A. There should be a law to protect the German language B. It is foolish for Germans to worry about their native language C.

45、Germans should be encouraged to speak more English D. Proper use of English can make conversations more colorful 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 2】 D 【小题 3】 A 【小题 4】 D D Sandeep Mukerji was on his first visit to Thailand but would leave the “Land of Smiles” with a frown and an empty pocket. A stones throw from the

46、 Grand Palace in Bangkok, the 26-year-old Canadian ran into a monk in a robe. The monk told him that the attraction he was hoping to visit had been closed. The monk then introduced Mukerji to a jewellery store instead. On the way there, three different people told him that it was the last day of a o

47、nce-a-year, tax-free jewellery promotion to encourage tourism. They said that tourists can make a lot of money by buying gems（宝石） in Thailand and selling them once at home. Two hours later, Mukerji had spent US $ 1, 250 on a set of almost worthless jewellery in the jewellery store. “The whole proces

48、s took me by surprise. They take advantage of your greed,” he said. In fact, Mukerji is just one of a huge number of tourists who are cheated by the promise of making a fortune. The scam（诡计） brings Thailand more than US $ 10 million each year. Although tourist police stations have displayed posters to warn of the scam, many fresh-faced tourists still fall prey to the trick. The police say they receive 5 10 complaints a day. Many more may not realize they have been cheated until they go back home. That authorities say that the
