Ⅱ.阅读理解
体裁:谈论文 话题:观点阐述 时间:6分钟
It is a debate that has been on since Titanic became one of the most successful films of all time: Did Rose leave Jack to die by not letting him up on the temporary lifeboat as they floated in the ocean?
And now a U.S.television show has carried out a series of tests that show Leonardo DiCaprio's character could have survived the disaster had he lifted himself onto the raft from which Rose,played by Kate Winslet,was saved.
The Discovery Channel's Mythbusters recreated the dangerous conditions after the Titanic sank in 1912 and,through hypothermia tests,discovered Jack would have survived the freezing conditions if he had climbed out.
As fans of the 1997 popular movies will remember,Jack remains in the freezing water while Rose lies on top of a floating piece of the remains as he does not want to fall it down.
In the dramatic climax(高潮)to the Oscar-winning movie,Jack dies from hypothermia while Rose is rescued.Titanic director James Cameron told Mythbusters he believed the wooden life raft would not have supported both Jack and Rose.
But the team found that if Rose had taken off her lifejacket and put it under the raft it would have given them enough buoyancy(浮力)to keep both of them afloat.
Cameron,however,had the last word telling the TV show that Jack had to die as that's what the script(剧本)called for.
He said:‘I think you guys are missing the point here.The script says Jack died.He has to die.So maybe we screwed up and the board should have been a little tiny bit smaller,but the dude's goin' down.’
【语篇导读】 大家都记得电影《泰坦尼克号》中杰克和罗斯最终告辞时感人的一幕。但是现在有人说,杰克不是冻死的,而是“笨死的”。到底是怎么回事呢?本文给出了答案。

Ⅲ.阅读表达
When my father was celebrating a milestone (里程碑) birthday,I pulled together a surprise gift that he would never forget.
As he was approaching 60,I had a fun idea:What if I could get the memories people had of him,put each one into an envelope—60 in total—and have him open them,one by one,on his birthday? So I wrote an e-mail to family and friends,explaining my idea.
I sent the e-mail and waited.And then the replies started coming in and I was very,very surprised.There were so many memories,and they were all so lovely.They came from the '50s,'60s,'70s,from every decade (十年) between now and the day my dad was born.They came from my mother,my siblings,my grandma,my dad's friends from high school,his sister,my dad's first boss,a colleague at his first job,from people who hadn't seen my dad in 40 years,from people I myself hadn't even informed.They typed them and handwrote them.They mailed them and e-mailed them.
The night before Dad's birthday,my sister and I stayed up late,putting everything together with some envelopes.
The next morning,after breakfast and presents and cake,we gave the pile of envelopes to him.“Just one more thing for you,” we said.
It took him a long time to open them and read.Each one was a brief ticket to another time,a leap(跳动) backwards over years and decades.There was a lot of laughter and a few tears,too.
I was kind of sad when the project was over because it was great fun to collect these memories.It gave me a different picture of my dad.
