语法填空
《名模大间谍》是一部搞笑影片，但是有些内容和语言不适合13岁以下的儿童。《芝加哥》是一部出类拔萃的音乐片。
16. it。考查代词。此处it指代的就是Zoolander。
17. under。考查介词。依据上下文，这部影片不宜推举给13岁以下的孩子看。
18. is played。 考查动词。主语character和动词play 之间为被动关系，句意为“Derek Zoolander由Ben Stiller扮演”。
19. typical。考查词类转换。此处应填一个形容词修饰example。
20. Based。考查非谓语动词。be based on意为“以……为基础”，base与Chicago是被动关系，故用过去分词短语作状语。
21. but。考查连词。两个分句之间是转折关系。句意为“Chicago 是一部音乐片，但是它和其它的音乐片真的不同”。
22. or。考查连词。依据句意，此处应为并列关系，而此句中don’t 表否定，故为or。
23. The。考查冠词。此处特指电影Chicago中的演员。
24. as。考查定语从句。依据such...as...，此处用as引导定语从句，并在从句中做宾语。
25. boring。考查词类转换。此处用形容词作定语修饰名词moments，句意为“由于没有令人厌烦的时刻，所以你确定不会对大量的音乐感到厌倦。”

完型填空。阅读下面短文，把握其大意，然后从以下题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
You may think there is only sand in the desert of the world, __1__ it is not true. In the desert, as we know, there is a little __2__, but it is not __3__ for most plants. Still we can see some plants __4__ in the desert.

阅读理解。阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
One evening in February 2007. A student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path . That's when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio parked across a railway line. Second later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.
Ceely's near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device(导航仪).She had never driven the route before .It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS. But it made no mention of the crossing. "I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train," she told the BBC.
W ho is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely's story in his book When Machines Fail US, finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says,
But our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless key boards.
The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the CPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say.
It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.
The game between humans and their smart devices is complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be way a wiser use of technology.
If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.
( ) 1 .What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident?           
 A. She was not familiar with the road.           
 B. It was dark and raining heavily then.   
C. The railway works failed to give the signal.
D. Her GPS device didn’t tell her about the crossing
( )  2. The phrase “near miss” (paragraph 2) can best be replaced by _______.     
A. close bit          B. heavy loss             C. narrow escape         D. big mistake      
( ) 3. Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?       
A. Modern technology is what we can’t live without.
B. Digital technology often falls short of out expectation.    
C. Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.   
D. GPS error is not the only cause for Celery’s accident. 
( ) 4. In the writer’s opinion, Stevenson’s argument is________.
A. one-sided B. reasonable C. puzzling D. well-based
( ) 5.What is the real concern of the writer of this article?
A. The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.
B. The relationship between humans and technology

D. The human unawareness  of technical problems.

【阅读理解】
Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens research into the history of humans in Britain, a group of leading archaeologists(考古学家) says. I a letter addressed to the justice secretary, Ken Clarke, 40 archaeologists write of their “deep and widespread concern” about the issue. It centers on the law introduced by the Ministry of Justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in England and Wales to be reburied within two years, regardless of their age. The decision means scientists have too little time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance.
“Your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied, whether after a standard period of two years or further special extension, is contrary to basic principles of archaeological and scientific research and of museum practice,” they write.
The law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites, including the remains of 60 or so bodies found at Stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3,000 BC. Archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them more time, but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground.
The arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Happisburgh in Norfolk, where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950,000 years ago. If human remains were found at Happisburgh, they would be the oldest in northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was. Under the current practice of the law those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed.
Before 2008, guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bones of sufficient age and historical interest, while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains. The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it.
Mike Parker Pearson, an archaeologist at Sheffield University, said: “Archaeologists have been extremely patient because we wee led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any longer.”
The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied, or on what records should be kept.
1. According to the passage, scientists are unhappy with the law mainly because _________.
A. it is only a temporary measure on the human remains
B. it is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific research
C. it was introduced by the government without their knowledge
D. it is vague about where and how to rebury human remains
2. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Temporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time.
B. Human remains of the oldest species wee dug out at Happisburgh.
C. Human remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time.
D. Scientists have been warned that the law can hardly be changed.
3. What can be inferred about the British law governing human remains?
A. The Ministry of Justice did not intend it to protect human remains.
B. The Burial Act 1857 only applied to remains uncovered before 1857.
C. The law on human remains hasn’t changed in recent decades.
D. The Ministry of Justice has not done enough about the law.
4. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. New discoveries should be reburied, the government demands.
B. Research time should be extended, scientists require.
C. Law on human remains needs thorough discussion, authorities say.
D. Law could bury ancient secrets for ever, archaeologists warn.
