The city is an accumulation of human civilization. Just as the American social philosopher Lewis Mumford put it, it is a special system which, fine and compact, has been designed to preserve the fruits of human civilization. Many Western languages have developed their versions of the term “civilization” from the same Latin word “civitas”(meaning “city” ), and it is by no means a coincidence. The city has played a significant role in the perfection of order in human society.
Section Two
The emblem(会徽), showing the image of three people ― you, me, him/her holding hands together, symbolizes the big family of mankind. Inspired by the shape of the Chinese character “世” (meaning the world), the design conveys the organizers" wish to host an Expo which is of global scale and which shows the various urban cultures of the world.
Section Three
Created from the inspiration of Chinese character “人”, the design roots deeply in Chinese culture. It tells the world the eternal core (永恒的核心) and theme of Shanghai World Expo will be always human. The mascot “Haibao” will become the messenger for the theme of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China “Better City, Better Life”.
The basic structure of the Chinese character “人” in which each stroke supports each other also shows the concept that the beautiful life should depends on mutual-help(互相帮助). If the human are willing to support one another, the harmony among human, nature, and society will be available. Such an urban life will be nice.
Haibao’s confident smile is expressing his sincere greeting from China ― “World Expo 2010 Shanghai China welcomes you!”

But since Avatar, 3D cinema has struggled. In 2010, several 3D movies bombed at the box office. And by late 2010, Some people said the technology was dead. Of course, this isn’t the first time Hollywood has struggled with new technology. Although sound was added to movies in the late 1920s, it took audiences time to get used to the new technology. But in the end, sound and color became the standard. James Cameron, director of Avatar, thinks we’re going through the same process with 3D.
Some say cinemas are charging too much for 3D movies. In the US, seeing a 3D movie can cost up to $7.5 more than seeing it in 2D. Also, a recent study at California State University found audiences don’t actually enjoy movies in 3D any more than in 2D. Walter Murch , a famous movie editor, wrote in 2011 that human beings have no ability to process 3D images. Watching a 3D movie confuses our brain and this is why some people get headaches.
But James Cameron disagrees. In fact, he recently predicted that in five years all movies will be in 3D. And there are signs that 3D is fighting back. More 3D movies were put on the market in 2012 than ever before. The Lion King 3D recently made over US $150 million at the box office, and Cameron’s Titanic 3D made even more.
Who knows what the future holds for 3D? Steven Spielberg recently said, ‘Tm hoping 3D gets to a point where people dorft notice it. Because then it just becomes another tool and helps tell a story.”
小题1:The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means that in 2010, 3D movies______
A.were not successful | B.became popular |
C.developed quickly | D.were of poor quality |
A.Hollywood tends to absorb what is new |
B.3D technology takes time to be accepted |
C.Hollywood struggles with new technology |
D.high technology helps to make better movies |
A.bring moviemakers great profits |
B.are more expensive than 2D movies |
C.do great harm to people’s health |
D.are unsuitable for people to watch |
A.Avatar was the first 3D movie. |
B.3D cinema has existed for years. |
C.Titanic 3D has made the most money. |
D.2012 witnessed the coming of 3D’s time. |
Within the next ten years, the U. S., China, Israel, and a crowd of private companies plan to set up camp on the moon. So if and when they plant a flag, does that give them property rights?
A NASA working group hosted a discussion this week to ask: Who owns the moon? The answer, of course, is no use. The Outer Space Treaty, the international signed by more than 100 countries, states that the moon and other celestial bodies (天体) are the province of all mankind. No doubt that would annoy all of the people throughout the ages, like monks from the Middle Ages, who have tried to claim the moon was theirs.
But ownership is different from property rights. People who rent apartments, for example, don’t own where they live, but they still hold rights. So with all of the upcoming missions (派遣团) to visit the moon and beyond, space industry thought leaders are seriously asking themselves how to deal with a potential land rush.
“ This is a very relevant discussion right now. We’ve got this wave of new lunar missions from around the world,” said William Marshall, a scientist in the small-spacecraft office at NASA, but who spoke this week at an event hosted by NASA’s Co Lab, a collaborative(协力完成的) public-private working group. He was speaking from his personal interest and not on behalf of the agency.
To be sure, the United States aims to send astronauts back to the moon by as early as 2015, in a mission that would include a long-term settlement. China and Israel, among others, are also working on lunar projects. And for the first time, several private groups are building spacecraft to land on the moon in an attempt to win millions of dollars in the Google Lunar X Prize. Some participants say that they plan to gain some property rights in the mission.
小题1:In the passage the writer seems to be worrying that ________.
A.the US will live on the moon forever |
B.the moon will not be able to hold all mankind |
C.the potential land rush will become more and more frequent |
D.no one can answer the question “ Who owns the moon?” |
A.encourage private groups to land on the moon |
B.help NASA host a discussion about land rush on the moon |
C.help some developing countries to complete their lunar projects |
D.reward some countries or private groups which haven’t stepped on the moon |
A.the Outer Space Treaty |
B.if and when they plant a flag |
C.the NASA working group |
D.monks from the Middle Ages |
A.The U. S. astronauts will live on the moon for longer time. |
B.Many countries and private groups plan to go to the moon. |
C.Why some private groups wish to land on the moon. |
D.It is easy to gain some property rights on the moon. |
A.it’s a waste of time to work on the lunar project |
B.“ The Outer Space Treaty” forbids private groups to land on the moon |
C.all mankind has the right to land on the moon |
D.whenever you come to the moon, you’ll get some property rights on it |
In Mongolian, the word “Nadam” means “amusement and entertainment” and the festival began in 1225 AD, when Genghis Khan organized an expedition to the west and got control of Khwarezm. In order to celebrate the victory they held the magnificent Nadam Fari. The Mongolians used this exciting gathering as a big occasion to compete in the horse racing, Mongolian wrestling and archery, which were regarded as the three basic skills of men.
Gradually more and more events were added to the festival, such as marksmanship(射击), chess, reciting epics, polo(马球), film, drama, singing, dancing, track and field competitions and so on.
There are three kinds of Nadam, the big one, the medium one and the small one. The big Nadam requires the participation of 512 wrestlers and 300 horses and usually lasts 7-10 days while the medium Nadam will have the participation of 256 wrestlers and 100-150 horses, lasting 5-7 days. And 64 or 128 wrestlers and 30 or 50 horses will take part in the small Nadam, which lasts 3-5 days. Anyone can apply to compete in Nadam, regardless of his or her ethnic origin and religious belief.
Nadam has become a popular artistic and sports event participated in by people of all ages. Boys and girls can also take the opportunity to show their love, i. e. the so-called “meeting at aobao”.
In addition to sports competition, people also make good use of this gathering to hold talks and establish relations in economic trade or to interchange goods.
小题1:We can infer from the passage that ______.
A.girls are not allowed to take part in horse racing |
B.foreigners also have a chance to compete in the Nadam Festival |
C.the Nadam Festival is only for sports competition |
D.Business activities can’t be held in the Nadam Festival |
A.love of parents to kids | B.old friends’ friendships |
C.deep feelings between brothers | D.love between boys and girls |
A.The introduction of the Nadam Festival. |
B.The origin of the Nadam Festival. |
C.The sports events of the Nadam Festival. |
D.The modern style of the Nadam Festival. |
If you look at a map of Europe, you’ll see a group of islands--one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles. The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland.
Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so?
In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in these different countries spoke different languages. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.
There’s another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. That is the official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”, “Britain”, “Great Britain”, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. Now do you know what each of them means?
小题1:English was first spoken in ____.
A.Britain | B.England | C.Great Britain | D.Ireland |
A.Wales is the richest of the three. |
B.Scotland is the largest of the three. |
C.Sometimes England is used instead of Britain. |
D.Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles. |
A.part of Britain |
B.part of British Isles |
C.the official name of the whole country |
D.the largest country of all mentioned in the passage |
A.Students of English |
B.Different Names of England |
C.Different Languages Spoken in England |
D.The Republic of Ireland |
The expression “to be in hot water" is one of them. It is a very old expression. “Hot water” was used 500 years ago to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle.
That no longer happens. But we still get in “hot water”.When we are in “hot water”, we are in trouble. It can be any kind of trouble—serious or not so serious. A person who breaks a law can be in hot water with the police. A young boy can be in hot water with his mother. if he walks in the house with dirty shoes.
Being in “deep water” is almost the same as being in hot water. When you are in deep water, you are in a difficult position. Imagine a person who cannot swim being thrown in water over his head.
You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you do not have the ability to solve. The problem is too deep. You can be in deep water, for example, if you invest in stocks without knowing anything about the stock market.
“To keep your head above water” is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt. A company seeks to keep its head above water during economic hard times. A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job.
“Water over the dam” is another expression about a past event. It is something that is finished. It cannot be changed. The expression comes from the idea that water that has flowed over a dam cannot be brought back again.
小题1:Which of the following two expressions have almost the same meaning?
A.To be in hot water;To be in deep water. |
B.To be in hot water;To keep your head above water. |
C.To be in deep water;Water over the dam. |
D.Water over the dam;To be in hot water. |
A.he is in danger of losing his life |
B.he is trying to pay off his debt |
C.he is trying to keep his promise |
D.he is trying not to get into debt |
A.“To be in hot water” can only be used to mention serious trouble. |
B.“Water over the dam” is an expression about a future event. |
C.Water could be used in the war in the past. |
D.All of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings. |
A.the use of water |
B.how to use some expressions about water |
C.expressions about water and their meanings |
D.expressions with negative meaning |
