15、sic FestivalBWhat makes a family? How do family members get along with each other? Japanese director Hirokazu Koreeda tries to answer these questions in his films.His latest film, Shoplifters, is about his favorite topic - family relations. With this film, Koreeda won this years Palme dOr (金棕榈奖), th
16、e Cannes Film Festivals top honor.5Shoplifters tells the story of a poor family living in Tokyo.

18、me together.This causes viewers to forget about their moral judgments (道德审判).This is another feature of Koreedas filming style. He is good at presenting ordinary life. Its slow and full of small details - sometimes its even boring. But there is tension (冲突) present as well. In Shoplifters, the surpr
19、ise is that the family members dont actually have blood ties to each other, but they are still closer than a real family.

23、e being used in a variety of different ways for several important reasons.Robots make great explorers on planets, moons, and other landing areas. Aside from the earth, just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore. The air on most other planets is not enough for humans
24、 to breathe, making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment. The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand. Plus there would be complications with radiation, weather, and a lack of gravity. Robots have much less limitation in these ar
25、eas and can survive much longer under these conditions.Robots are designed for collecting scientific data. Robots are also able to perform many tasks at one time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently. Important scientific projects from detecting minerals, analyzing ground sam
26、ples, to finding water are all performed much quicker and accurately by robots.The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work. In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only
27、 carry humans, but also enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip. Moreover, robots have no problems working for hours on end. Robots never complain, they dont require food or water, and they never need a bathroom break.Over the past 30 years or so there have been many di
28、fferent types of robots 7used successfully in the exploration of space. Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars. They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of wa

31、y.30.The underlined word “withstand” most probably means “_”.A. remain B. bear C. defeat D. develop31.What is the writers attitude in this passage?A. Negative. B. Persuasive. C. Subjective. D. Objective.DIf a woman has an extra piece of cake, dont blame it on greed, blame it on her brain.Scientists
32、have found that womens brains react to food very differentlyand much more stronglythan mens. Academics found that decades of dieting pressure on women and advertising have programmed certain parts of the female brain to react strongly when faced with any kind of food. Men, on the other hand, are not
33、 usually as obsessive (着迷的) about what they eat.Dr. Rudolf Uher and his colleagues at the Institute of Psychiatry in Kings College London used brain scanning technology, known as functional 8magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI), to look at the brains of eighteen men and women.The volunteers were given
34、images of food to look at, as well as food to taste. Their brain reactions were observed by the scientists.They found that the female brains reacted much more strongly than those of males.The same reaction did not happen when they were shown non-food images. The team believe this means women think m
35、ore about food than men tend to do.Dr. Uher said, “This could be related to biological differences between men and women. But the more likely explanation is that women have a more complicated (复杂的) reaction to food because of social pressure.”Professor Carey Cooper, psychology and health professor a
36、t Lancaster University, said, “For centuries women have had a providing role preparing and cooking food for their families. And it is part of that rule to make sure the food is safe. They will therefore be much more sensitive to food than men are, and I would not be surprised if that was now built i
37、nto their DNA. If the female brain reacts to food because it historically has developed neural (神经的) pathways to do this, then food will be the way they express their stress. Food actually, is a comfort for women.”But other experts have said that more research must be done before the results can be
38、proved. American scientist Angelo del Parigi of the John B. Pierce Laboratory in New Haven, Connecticut, said, “Looking at an FMRI alone cannot make sure whether the stronger reaction in women is due to innate (天生的) differences or a learned process.”32. Dr.Uher and his colleagues carried out the res
39、earch by comparing .A. FMRIs effectiveness on women and menB. volunteers reaction to different kinds of foodC. volunteers reaction to food before and after mealsD. Womens and mens reaction to different images33. In Dr. Uhers opinion, women react more strongly to food than men most 9probably because
40、they are .A. told to do so for a long time B. influenced by advertisementsC. forced by powerful social influences D. born to do so due to biological reasons34. According to Professor Carey Cooper, women _.A. turn to food when they feel sadB. are stressed because of food safetyC. accept their social
41、role from the heartD. are satisfied with preparing food for their families35. What was Angelo del Parigis attitude towards the research results?A. Surprised. B. Uninterested. C. Doubtful. D. Curious.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Be a Green ChildWhat does it mea

Heres a four-step guide to being green:Reduce It!37 For example, a shorter shower means you used less water fuel since your
43、house uses fuel to run the water heater that warmed up the water.Reuse It!Sometimes people call ours a “throwaway society”.
