Today, though, she has the day off. "This week I only worked two days,"says Fanning, sitting in a sofa in her hotel"s library, "but I get bored when I"m not working. Especially because it"s cold here and I can"t do anything, you know? So, I"ve been knitting (编织) --- all day, every day."The actress, who"s held her own opposite Oscar winners such as Sean Penn and Denzel Washington, recently mastered the fine art of scarves (围巾). Though she"s about ready to move on to hats, she first plans to make a souvenir (纪念品) scarf for Robert De Niro, who plays her father in the film. "He"s the nicest guy you"d ever meet in your entire life,"she says, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I would make him a brown one.”
Like any other fifth-grader, Fanning spends several hours a day going to school. In addition to her personal trailer (活动住房) --- which is kept well-supplied with hot chocolate packets, lemon Gatorade, and a TV that doesn"t always work --- she has another trailer where her teacher, Jan, conducts classes in history, spelling, reading, math, science and health. "We have this big board where we have a calendar (日历),"Fanning says. "When we were here in January, I wrote the calendar in all blue. February was red, and March was green.”
On this particular morning, she had a spelling test. "There was a topic for each of the word lists,"she says, sitting on her knees. "This one was flowers --- they were all names like oxygen, carbon dioxide, chrysanthemum (菊花)..."Chrysanthemum? "Well, they didn"t make me spell that one. They just had me fill in the ‘e". But I can spell it: c-h-r-y-s-a-n-t-h-e-m-u-m.”

答案
小题1:B
小题2:A
小题3:D
小题4:C
解析
小题1:细节判断题。文中并未提及Dakota Fanning是个孤儿，她只是在电影中扮演自***母亲的女儿。其他三项都有所涉及。
小题2:细节理解题。根据第二段的Especially because it"s cold here and I can"t do anything可知她编织头巾等只是为了消磨时间。
小题3:句意理解题。因Dakota只是10岁的小女孩，她为Robert De Niro编织围巾只是出于羡慕敬仰，谈不上相恋。
小题4:归纳标题题。本文着重描述了Dakota休假时的活动，其他三项都是某一个方面的细节。

“You get back to peel those potatoes, and don’t ever use that as a(n) 47 for anything again!”
Of course I could peel potatoes with my good hand while holding them down with my other arm. There was always a 48 , and Mom knew it. “If you try hard 49 ,” she’d say, “You can do anything.”
Once in the second grade, our teacher had each of us race across the monkey bars (高低杠). When it was my turn, I 50 my head. Some kids 51 . I went home crying.
After work the next afternoon, Mom took me to the school play-ground.

One of the things that makes When Smoke Ran Like Water, her book on the battle against pollution, so powerful is that she hasn’t just only studied the statistics (数字统计), but she’s lived them. As a child in the Monongahela River town, she survived the 1948 smog (烟雾) pollution that was reported to have killed 20 people. She writes, “The 50 people who died in the month following decade are nowhere counted. And there is no counting of the thousands called the non-killed － all those who went on to suffer in various poorly understood ways.”
For Davis, counting counts. She focuses on epidemiology, the science which is rooted in numbers. Her book is a series of related stories, which uses a convincing (具有说服力的) method to support her conclusions. For anyone interested in the future of human health, When Smoke Ran Like Water also provides a valuable basis for understanding and action.
67. We can learn from the text that Davis cares most about_____.
A. the measures taken by governments to fight environmental pollution
B. the lasting damage to health caused by environmental pollution
C. the number of people died in environmental pollution
D. the environmental pollution caused by the smog in 1948
68.The author thinks that When Smoke Ran Like Water is a powerful book because_______.
A. Davis was an expert in the study of pollution
B. Davis used real numbers to study pollution
C. Davis was good at writing interesting stories
D. Davis put her real-life experience into the book
69. What kind of method is used by Davis to support the conclusion?
A. The reasoning method B. The storytelling method
C. The statistic method D. The experiment method
70. The purpose of the text is to________.
A. show the damage caused by pollution
B. explain why When Smoke Ran Like Water is popular
C. introduce When Smoke Ran Like Water to readers
D. tell the life of the American writer Devra Davis
I"1l always remember my last day at school. My best friend, Jenny, had organized a party in the Sixth
Form Common Room;
Jenny asked me to go to the supermarket with her to buy all the snacks. "I"m really looking forward to this party, Stingy," she said. Everyone called me Stingy instead of Debbie because they thought I didn"t like to spend money. Actually, it was true.
"There"s lots of money in the kitty(零星凑起的一笔钱）. Let"s go crazy!" Going crazy meant buying enough snacks to feed an army. It came to ￡ 19.90,which was a lot of money in 1982.
Jenny gave me a guilty( 内疚的) look. "I"ve left-the kitty money in the common room. Can you pay and I"ll give you back the money?"
"Sure," I replied, trying to look relaxed. " Neither a lender or a borrower be" was my motto but I didn"t want to look stingy(小气). I gave ￡20 to the impatient shop assistant.
Well, the Party was a great success. So great that I completely forgot about my loan until I was flying to America the next day. I was going to live with my uncle"s family until I started university.
I tried to get in touch with Jenny but her family had moved. My ￡20 was lost. Until...
I"d heard about a website called Friends Reunited which helped people contact old school friends. My husband helped me log on and find my school. There she was,Jenny Frost.
I"m now married with a beautiful daughter called Debbie. Does anyone know how to get in touch with Debbie "Stingy" Jones? I still owe her ￡20!
We met two months later and the ￡20 was returned, plus interest(利息)of course. After all, I"m a bank manager now, so loans are my business.

Thus taking the play and the author together, it is mow fairly conventional to regard the former as a kind of ultimate point in the secularization of the medieval drama. Hence much emphasis on it as depicting realistically humble manners and pastoral life in the bleak hills of the West Riding of Yorkshire on a typically cold bight of December 24th. After what are often regarded as almost “documentaries” given in the three successive monologues of the three shepherds, critics go on to affirm that the realism is then intensified into a burlesque mock-treatment of the Nativity. Finally as a sort of epilogue or after-thought in deference to the Biblical origins of the materials, the play slides back into an atavistic mood of early innocent reverence. Actually, as we shall see, the final scene is not only the culminating scene but perhaps the raison d’etre of introductory “realism.”
There is much on the surface of the present play to support the conventional view of its mood of secular realism. All the same, the “realism” of the Wakefield Master is of a paradoxical turn. His wide knowledge of people, as well as books indicates no cloistered contemplative but one in close relation to his times. Still, that life was after all a predominantly religious one, a time which never neglected the belief that man was a rebellious and sinful creature in need of redemption, So deeply (one can hardly say “naively” of so sophisticated a writer) and implicitly religious is the Master that he is less able (or less willing) to present actual history realistically than is the author of the Brome “Abraham and Isaac”. His historical sense is even less realistic than that of Chaucer who just a few years before had done for his own time costume romances, such as The Knight’s Tale, Troilus and Cressida, etc. Moreover Chaucer had the excuse of highly romantic materials for taking liberties with history.
小题1:Which of the following statements about the Wakefield Master is NOT True?
[A]. He was Chaucer’s contemporary.
[B]. He is remembered as the author of five or six realistic plays.
[C]. He write like John Steinbeck.
[D]. HE was an accomplished artist.
小题2: By “patristic”, the author means
[A]. realistic. [B]. patriotic
[C]. superstitious. [C]. pertaining to the Christian Fathers.
小题3: The statement about the “secularization of the medieval drama” refers to the
[A]. introduction of mundane matters in religious plays.
[B]. presentation of erudite material.
[C]. use of contemporary introduction of religious themes in the early days.
小题4: In subsequent paragraphs, we may expect the writer of this passage to
[A]. justify his comparison with Steinbeck.
[B]. present a point of view which attack the thought of the second paragraph.
[C]. point out the anachronisms in the play.
[D]. discuss the works of Chaucer.
The 47-year-old singer talks about the new album Symphony that came out of a “very dark time”, including her decision to give up trying to have children. “People have suggested I could adopt,” Brightman says. “But work is central to my life now. And so I am going to put it to one side. After a while not having children becomes the norm and perhaps that might sound alarming, to parents especially, but I have never known anything different. I’m not hurt by not having children. My life and career are incredibly rich.”
Talking about growing up in a large family in Berkhamsted (father a property developer who later committed suicide), she says: “I was gifted as a child, and very musical. I seemed to be good at anything to do with the arts. At 5 I understood the music I was dancing to and had an eye for costume.” She first appeared in a West End musical at 11 and hated boarding school.
Brightman led the saucy dance troupe（辣妹三人舞） Hot Gossip and had her first hit with I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper in 1978. At 18 she married a music manager called Andrew Graham Stewart. “I was probably in love but I can’t remember. Girls change such a lot between 18 and 22. It didn’t really work out.” In 1981 she was spotted by Lloyd Webber. She became his leading lady in Song and Dance, Requiem and Phantom of the Opera. They married in 1984.
Brightman says she felt hostility(敌意) “from the beginning. I haven’t tried to understand it. I’ve done very well everywhere else, especially the US, where I now live, I just accept it for what it is. The more you are away from Britain, the more you appreciate it. But I don’t miss it, although I miss my family. Our profession can be uncomfortable but I enjoy what I do. I get on with it.”

| D．Brightman is much older than Andrew Lloyd Webber |
| A．she could adopt one | B．her life and career were unbelievably rich without children |
| C．she felt it normal not to have children | D．she was too busy |
