Theyre all different, but some are definitely better than others.Rotten TomatoesInstead of telling Rotten Tomatoes which films you like, you can tell it what kind of films you enjoy，which actors you want to see，and other standards to help it find the best movie for you. There s a lot of variability in the quality of Rotten Tomatoes recommendations but its also a nice way to find the right film for any mood.NetflixNetflix asks you to rate(评级）movies to determine which films youll want to see next. And although it does make it easy to rate movies and it does return huge lists, the ideas it gives you aren t all that strong. It s easy to use, but its not the best way to get movie recommendations.JinniWhether you want to search for films based on your mood，time available, or reviews， the site has it all. But Jinni，s most amazing feature is its semantic search. You can enter terms like, “movies that have gangsters” or “films that show Chris Farley yelling” and the site will return films that match your question. Go use Jinni. You wont regret it!CritickerInstead of just allowing you to rank films, Criticker compares your ratings to those of other users and see how closely your tastes match those of other users. Once the service finds matches, you can view other users lists and see which movies they like.21. What makes Criticker special?A. Comparing users ratings. B. Ranking your favourite films.C. Offering different standards. D. Finding films based on mood.22. Which one does the author recommend most?A. Netflix. B. Jinni.C. Criticker. D. Rotten Tomatoes.23. What is the purpose of the text?A. To recommend the best movies online.B. To show how to use movie search engines.C. To introduce several movie search engines.D. To explain how to find the best movies online.B“A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high. ” Im sure T. J. Ware was made to feel this way almost every day in school.By high school, T. J. was the most celebrated troublemaker in his town. Teachers literally cringed when they saw his name posted on their classroom lists.I met T. J. for the first time when all the students at school were attending ACE training. At first, he showed no interest in the discussion. But slowly, the interactive games drew him in. T. J. had some brilliant thoughts on those situations, which were welcomed by his group. By the end of the activity, the other students on the team were impressed with his concern and ideas and elected T. J. co-chairman of the team.When T. J. showed up at school on Monday morning, a group of teachers were expressing their disagreements to the school principal about his being elected co-chairman. The principal reminded them that the purpose of the program was to uncover any positive feeling and strengthen its practice until true change can take place. The teachers left the meeting, firmly convinced that failure was unavoidable.Two weeks later, T. J. and his friends led a group of 70 students to collect food. They collected a school record：2,854 cans of food in just two hours. The local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article the next day. That newspaper story was posted on the main bulletin board at school, where everyone could see it. T. J. s picture was up there for doing something great.T. J. started showing up at school every day and answered questions from teachers for the first time. The event he started now yields 9，000 cans of food in one day, taking care of 70 percent of the need for food for one year.T. J. reminds us that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending. But once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest. T. J. got a job. He became productive. He is flying quite nicely these days.24. What do we know about T. J. before he attended the training?A. He was talkative in class.B. He didnt have a good fame.C. His ideas were quite impressive.D. He showed up at school every day.25. Why did the team members elect T. J. co-chairman?A. He promised them a bright future.B. They wanted to offer him a chance.C. They thought the job was quite easy.D. He was considered qualified for the job.26. What do we know about peoples attitude towards T. J.s being elected?A. Uncaring. B. Favorable. C. Controversial. D. Doubtful.27. What does the author try to convey with this story?A. No pain, no gain.B. Rome wasnt built in a day.C. Dont judge a book by its cover.D. Treat others as you want to be treated.CThe philosopher Robert Nozick used the idea of an “experience machine” to refute the view that good experiences are all we want from life. He thought that most of us would not choose the machine and prefer reality. “But why?” he encouraged us to ask.There was no such thing as virtual(虚拟的）reality(VR) when he was writing. But now we can give ourselves computer generated experiences that are like the real thing. The question raised by Nozick has become a real issue. Why should you prefer the trouble and expense of actually visiting Angkor Wat or Niagara Falls when you can get all the experiences of being there by putting on goggles and a body suit?One answer is that the emotions you feel when you have a virtual experience are not as valuable. When you actually see Niagara Falls, you feel awe and even fear in the face of an overpowering force of nature. Being in the presence of something that causes you these feelings is part of the pleasure.Visiting a virtual Niagara Falls may also cause you feelings of awe and fear but they are cheapened by your knowledge that the danger is not real and that your mind is being tricked into thinking that it is.Reality also holds a potential for making discoveries that virtual reality lacks. Those who visit Angkor Wat hope to see more than they expected from tourist information, perhaps even discover what have been missed. Computer simulations(模拟）, however good, contain only what have been put into them.There is a further reason for preferring a real experience. Real experiences connect us to the deeds of past people and place us in contexts where history was made. Viewing an actual painting by Rembrandt is a more valuable experience than viewing a copy, however good. The genuine painting was the work of the man himself. We see his brush strokes on the canvas. We are in the presence of genius.Virtual reality can take us to places we can never go. It can be exciting，amusing and a good way of spending leisure time. But it will never be a substitute for connections with the real thing.28. What does the underlined word “refute” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Contradict. B. Express.C. Prove. D. Correct.29. What does the author think of virtual reality?A. It can benefit people in certain aspects.B. It will be smart enough to satisfy our needs.C. It cannot cause feelings of fear or happiness.D. It cannot help us understand what has happened30. How many reasons are mentioned to support the preference for reality?A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. What VR Cannot OfferB. How VR Changes Our LifeC. How VR Is Different from RealityD. Why VR Cannot Match the Real ThingDFeathers are not just for flight. They keep birds warm and attract mates. And for one Australian bird, feathers even help produce an important sound-an alarm.“People had long noticed these birds produced these loud sounds. ” Trevor Murray, a researcher at the Australian National University said. “My supervisor Rob Magrath and May Hingee thought they were used as an alarm. So they did some playbacks and they could show quite strongly that if you play back these sounds to other birds, they flee straightaway. So I was really interested in how they produce the sound, whether it is actually a signal, and whether It s a reliable signal. ”The team focused their experiment on specific feathers in the pigeon，s wing. “We were able to target(目标）the eighth primary feather, which is unusually narrow. And then we also removed, on different sets of birds, those neighboring feathers, the ninth primary feather and the seventh primary feather. And we were able to see when the eighth primary feather was missing, the high note had completely disappeared. So the eighth primary feather produced that high note and the ninth primary feather actually produced the low note. ”And if the birds are fleeing from danger, they produce a louder and higher sound than they do during a normal takeoff. The study is in the journal Current Biology.Murray and his colleagues did another experiment where they used the recordings they made to observe the reactions of other pigeons. “We were able to see the unusual eighth primary feather was important for signaling alarm. When that eighth primary feather was missing，they very rarely responded. They almost never fled. Whereas when that ninth primary produces the sound, they fled just as much as to normal alarms. This shows us this unusual primary feather is important for signaling alarm. ”That makes birds of a feather flee together.32. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The birds. B. Rob and May.C. The feathers. D. The loud sounds.33. What did Rob Magrath and May Hingee find out about the birds?A.They fly away as a group.B. They produce different notes.C. They send alarms with feathers.D. They attract mates with feathers.34. Why did the team remove different feathers?A. To record the notes they produce.B. To keep the pigeons stay in cages.C. To compare their width and length.D. To observe other pigeons, reactions.35. According to Murray and his colleagues, why does the unusual feather matter most?A. It keeps the pigeons warm. B. It responds to alarms.C. It helps birds fly more quickly. D. It sounds alarms of danger.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人空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Do you spend too much on coffee? Clothing?
