1. Sylvester Stallone
Oh, Rambo! The first strong American man that China knew. His accented English, easily recognizable even for someone who doesn"t speak English, and his eyes that never seemed to smile, makes him someone whom cannot be forgotten. He represented the strong American image, and even stirred a boxing and bodybuilding fever in China.
2.Charlie Chaplin (April 16, 1889 – December 25, 1977)
In the 20th century, it is not too much to say that Einstein made the greatest contributions to science, and not many would disagree that Chaplin did the same for film. He was the first actor that introduced comedy to most Chinese viewers, and politically, he was also a close friend of China’s. His silent films broke the barrier of language and his form of art was recognized by all. It will be a difficult task to find a person in China who does not recognize Chaplin, even today.
3. Shirley Temple ( April 23, 1928 – February 10, 2014)
When Chinese audiences saw this adorable child star for the first time on screen, Shirley Temple had already lived for more than half a century. In her movies, she was always alone or in trouble, but this adorable little blonde(金发女郎) could always resolve anything with her kindness, push away the fogginess and bring about light. The brand "Shirley Temple" was a product of the Great Depression. People watched her act to forget their hardships as Temple entertained the poor, the rich, adults and children alike. Several decades later, when her films were screened in China, the effects were the same.
4. Audrey Hepburn( May 4, 1929 – January 20, 1993)
She will forever be the princess in Chinese people"s hearts. Even to this day, a large number of tourists go to Rome to visit the Mouth of Truth with their lovers and eat ice cream on the Spanish Steps. Her sense of style seems to never go out of style. When she was alive, she was living perfection. Even after her death, she has remained an icon. That"s something that only Audrey Hepburn is capable of.

试题【America"s child movie star Shirley Temple Black died late Monday evening at the 】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
It is not the higher travel costs, nor the expected big spending on gifts and other festival items, but the train ticket that has driven many travelers mad. I’ve heard some colleagues complain that they have tried every means to secure a train ticket, only to find it a mission impossible. Some of them have turned to the latest software to aid online booking; others have sought help from friends to increase the possibility of successful booking.
No doubt chunyun, the Spring Festival travel season, is the largest-scale annual human migration in the world. Last year, 220 million passengers traveled by train during the Spring Festival season, which usually lasts 40 days. It is a huge jump from 10 years ago, when the number was 128 million.
With the big sudden increase in demand, the railway company has increased investment in railway construction; still, it cannot bridge the supply gap, leading to fierce public complaints and criticism.
Admittedly, it is almost impossible for the railway company to suddenly improve its capacity to meet the explosive demand during the Spring Festival holiday. Moreover, any temporary increase in capacity would become unnecessary after the holiday and mean great commercial losses during the off season.
What the company can reasonably do is gradually improve its capacity while focusing on better distribution of its existing resources during the special peak season. At any rate, however, the problem cannot be solved overnight.
小题1:Compared with ten years ago, the percentage of passengers last year increased by________.
A.40% | B.58% | C.71% | D.83% |
A.Social mobility in modern times hasn’t changed much in these years. |
B.The latest software may increase the possibility of successful booking. |
C.Higher travel costs discourage travelers from reunions with families. |
D.People nowadays cherish reunion with their families more than before. |
A.Expensive | B.Effective | C.Hopeful | D.Impractical |
A.Optimistic. | B.Objective | C.Subjective | D.Critical |
Estimates of places where life can exist have been based on the possibility of them having surface water. But software recently developed by the Aberdeen University allows researchers to identify planets with underground water kept liquid by heat from planets.
Water is fundamental for life and planets too close to the sun lose water to the atmosphere through evaporation. On the other hand, planets located in distant reaches from their star have their surface water locked away as ice.
Sean McMahon, who is carrying out the work, explained: "Traditionally people have said that if a planet is in this Goldilocks zone—not too hot and not too cold—then it can have liquid water on its surface and be habitable."
But this concept might change when considering that planets can receive two sources of heat—heat direct from the star and heat generated deep inside the planet.
It is easy to observe it in our own planet. As you go down through the crust (壳) of the Earth, the temperature gets higher and higher. Even when the surface is frozen, water can exist below ground.
There could be immense quantities of water in fact—full of primitive life.
Professor John Parnell, also from Aberdeen University said: "There is a significant habitat for microorganisms below the surface of the Earth, extending down several kilometres".
"And some believe that the majority of life on Earth could even reside in this deep biosphere."
So the Aberdeen team are developing models to predict which distant planets might harbour underground reservoirs of liquid water with the possibility of alien life.
小题1:What is considered as the symbol of life existence traditionally?
A.Solid water on its surface. | B.Solid water below ground. |
C.Liquid water below ground. | D.Liquid water on its surface. |
A.To prove that there is majority of life on Earth. |
B.To prove that life may also exist in other planets. |
C.To prove that there is primitive life down through Earth. |
D.To prove that there is a habitat for microorganisms below Earth. |
A.Planets can lose water through evaporation. |
B.Planets can receive heat direct from the star. |
C.Planets can have their surface water locked away as ice. |
D.Planets can receive heat generated deep inside the planet. |
A.They will help identify planets where there is life. |
B.They will help researchers find Goldilocks zones. |
C.They have helped find some significant discoveries. |
D.They have already located some habitats for life. |
Citing secret documents provided by Edward Snowden, former NSA staff, the reports detail efforts to gain data collection from cell phone carriers and smart phones by tapping into “leaky”(有漏洞的) apps themselves.
Both spy agencies showed a particular interest in Google Maps, which is accurate to within a few yards or better in some locations and would clearly pass along data about the area where phone owner is.
“It effectively means that anyone using Google Maps on a smartphone is working in support of a GCHQ system,” reads a secret 2008 report by the NSA"s sister spy agency, according to the New York Times.
More surprising is the wide range of apps that the agencies search for data, including innocent-seeming apps such as Angry Birds. One document in particular from GCHQ listed what information can be found from which apps, mentioning Android apps but suggesting the same data was available from the iPhone platform.
Angry Birds maker Rovio Entertainment of Finland said it had no knowledge of any NSA or GCHQ programs for tapping into its users’ data.
"Rovio doesn"t have any previous knowledge of this matter, and have not been aware of such activity in 3rd party advertising networks," said Saara Bergstrom. "Nor do we have any involvement with the organizations you mentioned."
Mobile photos uploaded to social media sites like Facebook and Twitter appear to be a particularly rich source of information for the spy agencies as well. Metadata in the photos is briefly available. The NSA and GCHQ are able to tap into that metadata to collect a wealth of key data points about a person’s life.
“NSA does not profile everyday Americans as it carries out its foreign intelligence mission,” the agency told the Times in response to questions about the program.
During a Monday press conference, White House press secretary Jay Carney stressed that same position. "As the president said in his Jan. 17 speech, to the extent data is collected by the NSA, through whatever means, we are not interested in the communications of people who are not valid foreign intelligence targets(情报目标) and we are not after the information of ordinary Americans," he said.
小题1:American and British spy agencies were both particularly interested in the information gathered from_________.
A.Google Maps | B.Twitter | C.Angry Birds | D.Facebook |
A.The iPhone platform is more reliable than that of Android. |
B.The New York Times interviewed Edward Snowden secretly. |
C.It is difficult for common users to protect their personal information. |
D.A document from NSA listed what information can be found from which apps. |
A.NSA didn’t gather any worthy information from Americans. |
B.NSA would stop its foreign intelligence mission in the future. |
C.NSA and White House shared different attitude towards the affair. |
D.NSA collected information with the permission of White House |
A.Angry Birds Give You Away |
B.NSA Gather Information from Apps |
C.Reports from the New York Times |
D.Documents from Edward Snowden |
Until now the local government has only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their nearest school.
The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government said in the past that they would not undertake (agree) to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school’s headmaster.
Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than £20 a term. They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.
小题1:What is the aim of the plan?
A.To prevent the students’ road accidents. |
B.To relieve the traffic pressure. |
C.To save time for the parents and students. |
D.To help the parents save money. |
A.By letting the bus run in the morning only. |
B.By limiting the number of the students. |
C.By getting the support from the headmaster. |
D.By linking the new bus service with the existing one. |
A.The bus company will make much more money. |
B.The children can choose whatever school they like. |
C.The parents can get rid of their worries. |
D.The students in Impington School can have free bus rides. |
A.a personal letter | B.an advertisement |
C.a headmaster’s report | D.a newspaper article |
There were no reports of bad weather and no sign of why the Boeing 777-200ER would have vanished from radar screens about an hour after it took off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing.
“We are not ruling out any possibilities,” Malaysia Airlines CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya told a news conference.
By the early hours of Sunday, there were no confirmed signs of the plane or any wreckage, well over 24 hours after it went missing. Operations will continue through the night, officials said.
There were no indications of sabotage (蓄意破坏) nor claims of an attack. But the passenger list issued by the airline included the names of two Europeans—Austrian Christian Kozel and Italian Luigi Maraldi—who, according to their foreign ministries, were not in fact on the plane.
A foreign ministry spokesman in Vienna said: “Our embassy got the information that there was an Austrian on board. That was the passenger list from Malaysia Airlines. Our system came back with a note that this is a stolen passport.”
Austrian police had found the man safe at home. The passport was stolen two years ago while he was travelling in Thailand, the spokesman said.
The foreign ministry in Rome said no Italian was on the plane either, despite the inclusion of Maraldi’s name on the list. His mother, Renata Lucchi, told Reuters his passport was lost, presumed stolen, in Thailand in 2013.
U.S. and European security officials said that there was no proof of any terrorist link and there could be other explanations for the use of stolen passports.
小题1:What was Ahmad Jauhari Yahya’s attitude?
A.Uncertain. | B.Negative. | C.Positive. | D.Confident. |
A.two passports had been stolen by two Europeans |
B.Christian Kozel was the man who kidnapped the plane |
C.the Austrian on board was actually at home |
D.Christian Kozel lied to the police |
A.He was from Austria. |
B.He was found safe at home. |
C.His mother was sad when she saw his name on the list. |
D.His passport was lost in Thailand. |
A.Terrorists. | B.Two people using false identities. |
C.We are not sure. | D.Christian Kozel and Luigi Maraldi. |
