It was him 36 realized my potential in writing, and his 37 made me a writer eventually. He was kind to me, but I had no 38 that he took particular notice of me. There were other 39 kids in the class, and soon，fell back into my usual 40 and thought that I was just a little over average in most things. Near the end of the term, we began to read the play-Macbeth. Believe me, this is not an easy play for high school students to understand, 41 I spent a lot of time reading it. After working till the night before it was due, I wrote a paper about the 42一the first paper I typed on a typewriter―and turned it 43 the next day. I got a good 44 on it, and below the grade Mr. Depp wrote, "Sure 45 you become a writer." That was it. Those six words were written in his clear and neat handwriting. It was the first time he or anyone had 46 in any way that writing was a 47 option for me. We'd never had any writers in our family line, and we didn't know any writers personally, even 48 , so writing for a living didn't seem something 49 to me. But then, just like that, Johnny Depp tapped my hidden 50 and let me see a wider world. Mr. Depp's six words always rang in my 51 over the next 10 year. Whenever I felt discouraged, it was those six words that came back to me and gave me 52. When a few instructors in college gently and not-so-gently tried to tell me I had no talent, I held Mr. Depp's words before me to 53 myself. I didn't 54 what anyone else thought. Mr. Depp, head of the whole English department of our high school, 55 I could be a writer. So I put my head down and struggled forward. 36. A. when B. who C how D. where 37.

Here are the films you mustn't miss. X-Men: Days of Future Past Why we're excited? Let us count the ways: original ‘X-Men’ director Bryan Singer is back along with the casts of both the original series and the recent prequel (前传) (so that's Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and way too many more to count) for a time-hopping adventure. What could wrong? With that many characters running about it could get confusing, and Singer's post 'X-Men' work (‘Valkyrie’, ‘Jack the Giant Slaver') hasn't been great. But anyone who says they're not excited for this one is absolutely a massive liar（说谎者）。
Maleficent Why we're excited Because no matter what six-year-old girls tell you, Disney villainesses(坏女人)are way more interesting than Disney princesses. And Angelina Jolie is frankly terrifying in the trailer(预告片) as Maleficent---the evil fairy from ‘Sleeping Beauty'. What could wrong? Recent live action films of fairytales haven't exactly dazzled. ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ bored us brainless and ‘Mirror Mirror’ rambled. Could ‘Maleficent’ be the exception?
Edge of Tomorrow Why we're excited Okay, we admit it. We're a little bit excited at the prospect of seeing Tom Cruise get killed on the battlefield a 100 times lighting aliens. This sci-fi-meets- ‘Groundhog Day’ concept finds him I replaying the same day over and over. What could wrong? Everything that usually goes wrong with big summer movies―blockbuster bloat. Could this be another smashy-smashy film with forgettable characters?
The Wind Rises Why we're excited? Because this is the final film from one of the world's truly original filmmakers, ‘Spirited Away’ director Hayao Miyazaki. Unusually for animation, it's a biopic - looking at the life of WW2 Japanese aviation inventor Jiro Horikoshi. What could wrong? Um… good question. Little kids who love ‘My Neighbour Totoro’ might not thrill to the tale of a real-life warplane designer but pretty much everyone else ought to be charmed. 56. Which of the following is WRONG about X-Men: Days of Future Past or its director? A. It is also directed by Bryan Singer. B. This is the final film of the "X-Men" series. C. The audience may get confused by so many characters. D. Not all the Bryan Singer's films are successful. 57. What may be inferred from this passage? A. Angelina Jolie acts a princess in Maleficent. B. Tom Cruise gets killed a 100 times in Edge of Tomorrow C. The Wind Rises is a tale of a real-life warplane designer. D. The Wind Rises shows a different style compared with other animations. 58. Which of the following films does the author like or expect most? A. Maleficent B. Snow White and the Huntsman C. Mirror-Mirror D. X-Men: Days of Future Past B As a professor I have grown accustomed to the opinion regarding American education. We are repeatedly told that American schools are failing, that colleges are not teaching, and that the students of today are not as good as the students of the past. There are, of course, problems with the education system. Because of economic inequality some schools are significantly better than others and the ideas of equality of education and equality of opportunity are cruel jokes. However, the mere fact that there are some serious problems does not mean that all the dire claims are true. One stock (陈腐的) claim is that America has fallen behind the world in education in terms of performance on various tests. While the fact that America is behind other countries is a point of concern, there are at least three points worth considering here. The first is the above-mentioned economic inequality which will tend to result in poorer performance when taking the average for America. The second is that many countries have put considerable effort into improving their education systems and hence it is worth considering that America's decline is also due to the improvement of others. The third is the matter of the measures-do they, in fact, present an accurate picture of the situation? I am not claiming that the data is bad. I am merely raising a reasonable concern about how accurate our picture of education is at this time. Another stock claim is that American students are doing badly on standardized tests. While there is clearly value in assessment, it is reasonable to consider whether or not such tests are a proper and adequate measure of education. It is also worth considering whether the puzzle with these tests is itself causing damage to education. That is, as teachers teach for the test and students learn for the test, it might be the case that what is being taught is not what should be taught and what is being learned is not what should be learned. 59. According to the professor, many people's attitude towards American colleges is A. negative B. positive C. approving D. indifferent 60. What does the underlined word “dire” in the second paragraph mean? A. Exact or precise. B. Long and-boring C. Fair or objective. D. Extremely serious or terrible. 61. Judging by the text, the claims are centered on A. fair judgment of American education B. American students' performance on tests C. an accurate picture of American colleges D. what should be taught in the American classroom 62. The passage is written mainly to A. defend American education B. show dissatisfaction with American education C. explain why American students do badly on tests D. offer advice on American education reform C Scientists have long wondered what benefit zebras might get from their fancy black-and-white coats. Those stripes (条纹) may be most useful as protection from biting flies, a recent study concludes. Biologists studied zebras and other closely related African animals. They tested five popular ideas about how the stripes might function. No evidence emerged to support most of these notions, Tim Caro told Science News. A wildlife biologist, he works at the University of California, Davis. ① .Some scientists had proposed those stripes help zebras hide from predators (食肉动物), such as lions, or confuse them. Still others suggested that those stripes might offer some cooling or help the animals in forming social groups. ② . Instead, the stripes appear to help the animals avoid the bite of bloodthirsty flies. This finding supports some studies had found signs that flies prefer solids to stripes when hunting for a landing place. ③ .To test all of the theories, Caro's group used geographic information. They looked at where in Africa the 20 different types of animals belonging to the genus Equus lived. Some of these equines (马科动物) have stripes, including zebras and asses (驴) with striped legs. Others are stripe-free. These include other asses and wild horses. The scientists found no connection between str
