When we think of Hollywood--a term I
use loosely to describe American movie production in general, not simply films
made in Los Angeles--we think of films aimed at amusing audiences and making
money for producers.
During the early years of the new century,
as workers won their demands for higher wages and a shorter working week,
leisure assumed an increasingly important role in everyday life. Amusement
parks, professional baseball games, nickelodeons, and dance halls attracted a
wide array of men and women anxious to spend their hard earned dollars in the
pursuit of fun and relaxation. Yet of all these new cultural endeavors, films
were the most important and widely attended source of amusement. For a mere five
or ten cents, even the poorest worker could afford to take himself and his
family to the local nickelodeon or storefron

Passage 2
When we talk about intelligence (智力), we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving (表现), especially in a new situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.
For example, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation,not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all be can,and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn't sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And if he cannot make things work out right, he doesn't feel ashamed (羞愧) that he failed, he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young,
A. the ability to study well
B. the ability to do well in school
C. the ability to deal with life
D. the ability to get high scores on some tests
[单项选择] Passage Two
When I was home in Britain on holiday
last summer, I spent an evening looking at photos my father had taken when he
stayed with us in Beijing in the spring of 1966. Of all these interesting scenes
of the past, the one I exclaimed at was a photo of Chang An Jie at Tiananmen.
The photo showed one car and two bicycles!
This made me reflect
on the changes that have transformed Beijing since I came to the city 37 years
ago. In those days, the bicycle was king. What sheer joy it was to cycle along
with the hundreds (not thousands) of fellow pedallers (骑车人), never in fear of
life and limb as one is now. I bought my first bike in 1963. It cost me 150
yuan--in those days three or four months’ salary for the average city
dweller.
Such changes! Good or bad Today, cycling is hazardous
but bikes are easily affordable. Gone are the old wo
A. To make a comparison between the past and the present.
B. To honor her father.
C. To criticize the past.
D. To criticize the present.
[单项选择]Passage Two
When Christian Bemard, a South African doctor, performed the first human heart exchange in 1967, the result was a worldwide moral discussion on the rights and wrongs of exchanging parts of the body. Hearts were not the first human parts to be exchanged but, in this case, if someone gave his or her heart, he or she would obviously and necessarily die (or be dead). Kidney exchanges, which were already quite common in 1967, often involved the transfer of a single kidney from a close living relative. The chances of survival of this person were slightly lowered because he or she now had only one kidney and if that kidney became diseased there would not be a healthy kidney in reserve. Nevertheless, he or she would not certainly die.
Since that time, surgical techniques and techniques to help prevent the patient’s bodies from rejecting new parts have developed very quickly. Today, not only hearts and kidneys, but also other parts, which are even more delicate, are exchan
A. Because it is the first human heart exchange.
B. Because he was a South African doctor.
C. Because people began to discuss if it is humanly correct.
D. Because many people did not agree to exchange parts of human body.
