213134. （2024•鄠邑四中•高一下期中） Elephants might be the most well-known and well-loved animal in African wildlife．But conservation （保护）of the African elephant still faces special difficulties．While the elephant population is half of what it was 40 years ago，some areas of Africa have more elephants than populated areas can support．That's why AWF scientists are studying elephant behavior，protecting habitats and finding ways for humans to live peacefully with elephants in Africa．
   Years ago，overhunting and the ivory trade were the biggest threats to elephants' survival．Luckily，ivory bans （禁令），hunting rules and protected areas protect elephants from these dangers today．
   The 21st century brings a different challenge to elephant conservation-land-use．Elephants walk across borders and outside parks and other protected areas．So they often destroy crops，causing conflicts （冲突）between local farmers and these big animals．
   Successful conservation strategies must allow elephants to walk freely in their natural habitats while reducing conflicts between elephants and local people．
   AWF researchers are searching for a way to give both elephants and people the space they need．The AWF is collecting information on elephant habitats and behavior．The information they gather will help to develop the widest possible space for elephants．
   The AWF is helping elephants by protecting their habitats．And they also work with local farmers to improve their life in order to encourage them to protect rather than destroy elephants．

（1）The first paragraph of the text is mainly to tell readers       ．
A．African elephants are endangered now．
B．there remains a lot to do to protect African elephants．
C．African elephants are popular animals．

D．They can't live in peace with farmers．
（3）To protect elephants，the AWF does all the following EXCEPT       ．
A．feeding elephants
B．protecting elephants' habitats
C．doing research on elephants
D．helping farmers improve their life
（4）Which is TRUE according to the passage？
A．Overhunting and the ivory trade were the biggest threat to elephants' survival．

204792. （2022•周至四中•高一下期末） Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact？Do you argue whether it's cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit （限速）？
If you get into such arguments，try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant．The first blind man who felt the elephant's trunk （象鼻） said it was like a snake．The second who felt the elephant's side said it was like a wall，while the third said it was like a spear（矛）as he touched the animal's tusk．The fourth，who took hold of the elephant's tail insisted that it was like a rope．The fifth man said it looked liked a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant's legs．The last，who was tall and got hold of the elephant's ears，said it was like a huge fan．
Each man's idea of the animal came from his own experience．So if someone disagrees with you about a"simple fact"，it's often because his experience in the matter is different from yours．
To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a"simple fact"，try this simple experiment．Get three large bowls．Put ice water in one．Put hot water in the second．Put lukewarm water （温水）in the third．Now put your left hand in the hot water．Put your right hand in the lukewarm water．Your right hand will tell you the water is cold．Your left hand will tell you it is hot．

（1）The man who touched the elephant's ears must be very ．

A．heavy B．thin

C．tall

D．strong

（2）The underlined word"it"in the last line of the paragraph refers to       ．
A．your left hand
B．your right hand
C．the water
D．the bowl
（3）What makes people think about simple facts differently？
A．People's wrong ideas．
B．People's different experience．
C．Simple facts are different sometimes．
D．People often disagree with each other．
（4）It can be inferred from the passage that we should       ．
A．learn from the blind men
B．not agree about simple facts
C．never think about simple facts
D．never decide anything with one side．

205696. （2018•西安中学•高二下期末） The arm bones of women who lived 7，000 years ago show a surprising level of strength-even higher than today's professional athletes．that's according to a first-ever study comparing prehistoric（史前的） bones to those of living people．The finding suggests a revision of history- the everyday lives of prehistoric women were filled with hard labor，rather than just sitting at home doing lighter tasks while the men struggled and fought for life．
   Before the study，there are no clear records describing how our ancient ancestors lived．It can be easy to forget that bone is a living tissue，one that responds to the difficulties we put our bodies through， " said lead author Alison Macintosh． "Physical force and muscle activity both put pressure on the bone．The bone reacts by changing in shape，thickness and other aspects over time．
   Previous studies only compared female bones to contemporary male bones，the researchers said-and that's a problem，because the response of male bones to stress and change is much bigger than that of women．For instance，as humans moved from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle constantly on the move to a more settled agrarian（农耕的） one，changes can be observed in the structure of the shinbone（胫骨）- and these changes were much more evident in men．
   However，a comparison of the bones of prehistoric women to the bones of living female athletes can help us work out a more accurate picture of what those prehistoric women were doing． "By analyzing the bones of living people and comparing them to the ancient bones，we can start to explain the kinds of labor our ancestors were reforming，Macintosh said．What they found was that women's leg strength hasn't changed a great deal，but their arms used to be very powerful．Prehistoric women，the researchers found，had arm strength 11-16 percent stronger than those of modern rowers，and 30 percent stronger than those of non-athletes．

（1）What does the study tell about prehistoric women？
A．They were stronger than men．
B．They had lighter bones than men．
C．They did tough tasks as the men．
D．They spent most time staying at home．
（2）What problem did previous studies on prehistoric bones have？
A．They lacked enough comparison．
B．They only studied men' s bones．
C．They focused little on bones．
D．They ignored the lifestyles．
（3）What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 3 refer to？
A．Bones' structure．
B．Bones' thickness．
C．Bones' response to stress．
D．Bones' stress from hard labor．
（4）What can we learn from the last paragraph？
A．It's still hard to explain our ancestors' lifestyle．
B．Prehistoric women went through much suffering．
C．Women's arms have become much stronger over time．
D．Prehistoric women are stronger than contemporary females．

203361. （2016•西工大附中•八模） The family does not feature heavily in the culture of the Ik of Northern Uganda．In fact，as far as the Ik are concerned，the family means very little．This is because the Ik face a daily struggle to survive in the face of drought，famine and starvation．Anyone who cannot take care of himself or herself is regarded as a useless burden by the Ik and a threat to the survival of the others．So the old are abandoned to die．Sick and disabled children too are abandoned．The Ik attitude is that，as long as you keep the breeding group alive，you can always get more children．
Ik mothers throw their children out of the village compound when they are 3 years old，to defend for themselves．I imagine children must be rather relieved to be thrown out，for in the process of being cared for，he or she is reluctantly carried about in a hide sling（背婴儿带） wherever the mother goes．Whenever the mother is in her field，she loosens the sling and lets the baby to the ground none too slowly，and laughs if it is hurt．Then she goes about her business，leaving the child there，almost hoping that some fierce animals will come along and carry it off．This sometimes happens．Such behaviour does not endear children to their parents or parents to their children．
Many of you probably reacted to the Ik with some horror and shock．It is very tempting to conclude that these people are primitive，savage and inhuman，and that their concept of the'family' is deeply wrong．However，sociologists argue that it is wrong to simply judge such societies and their family arrangements as unnatural and untypical．We need to understand that such arrangements may have positive functions．In the case of the Ik，with the exceptional circumstances they find themselves in-drought and famine-their family arrangements help ensure the survival of the tribe．
Moreover，some of you may have concluded that British family life and the Ik have some things in common．British family is not universally experienced as positive for all family members．For some members of our own society-for young and old alike-family life may be characterized by violence，abuse and isolation．
The problem with studying the family is that we all think we are experts．This is not surprising，considering that most of us are born in families and socialized into family roles and responsibilities．It is an institution most of us feel very comfortable with and regard as'natural'．For many of us，it is a cornerstone of our social world，a place to which we can retreat and take refuge from the stresses of the outside world．It is the place in which we are loved for who we are，rather than what we are．Family living and family events are probably the most important aspects of our lives．It is no wonder that we tend to hold very fierce，emotional，and perhaps irrational views about family life and how it ought to be organized．Such'taken for granted'views make it very difficult for us to objectively examine family arrangements that differ from our own experience-such as those of the Ik-without making critical judgments．
（1）Which of the following ideas do the Ik hold according to the passage？
A．The survival of the tribe is what they should strive for．
B．The old are the luxuries they should treasure．
C．Their children should be abandoned when born．
D．The family is the centre of their life．
（2）Which of the following will the author probably agree with in the case of Ik？
A．Mothers prefer to carry their children here and there．
B．The children are a great burden to their family．
C．The children enjoy warm relationship with their parents．
D．Many children should be left at the mercy of fierce animals in the field．
（3）According to the author，both British family life and that of the Ik        ．
A．endear family members
B．ensure longevity
C．experience ups and downs
D．contain negative elements
（4）All of the following statements support"family is the cornerstone"EXCEPT that        ．
A．we pour our bad mood upon our family members
B．we find we love and are loved in the family
C．we believe family is the top priority in our life
D．we turn to family as our harbour in heart．

205997. （2016•长安区一中•高一下期末） Not all memories are sweet．Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences．Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars．Often they relive these experiences in nightmares．
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill，which will help people forget bad memories．The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience．They hope it might reduce，or possibly wipe out，the effect of painful memories．
In November，experts tested a drug on people in the US and France．The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain．So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced，not that the memories are wiped out．They are not sure to what degree people's memories are affected．
The research has caused a great deal of argument．Some think it is a bad idea，while others support it．Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war．They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories．
"Some memories can ruin people's lives．They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare．They usually come with very painful emotions，"said Roger Pitman，a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School．"This could relieve a lot of that suffering．"
But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people's memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity．They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past．
"All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are．I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out．"Said Rebcca Dresser，a medical ethicist．
（1）The passage is mainly about
A．a new medical invention
B．a new research on the pill
C．an argument about the research on the pill
D．a way of wiping out painful memories
（2）The drug tested on people can
A．prevent body producing certain chemicals
B．stop people remembering bad experiences
C．cause the brain to fix memories
D．wipe out the emotional effect of memories
（3）Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph？
A．Some memories can ruin people's lives．
B．People want to get rid of bad memories．
C．The pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories．
D．Experiencing bad events makes us different from others．
（4）We can infer from the passage that
A．the pills will certainly stop people's emotional memories
B．people doubt the effect of the pills
C．taking the pill will do harm to people's physical health
D．the pill has already been produced and used by the public in the US．

205898. （2017•西安中学•高一上期末） Threadsmiths，an Australian garment company based in Melbourne，has just invented a revolutionary new T-shirt that never gets wet or dirty．
   The garment，called "The Cavalier"，is made from 100 percent cotton but features brand new "hydrophobic（疏水的）" nano-technology（纳米技术） which is woven（编织） into the cotton and is totally able to resist most liquids，as well as different types of dirt．
   The new T-shirt is of course protected by patent（专利） as，unlike other attempts at waterproof and dirtproof garments，it doesn't use aerosols（喷雾剂） which can contain chemicals．As is stated clearly on the website："Our shirts emulate the natural hydrophobic characteristics of the lotus（荷花） leaf．The Cavalier shirt contains no aerosol applications and no dangerous chemicals，and is completely safe to wear - as a shirt should be．"
   "As it creates a natural self-cleaning effect，the new invention means that any remains left on the garment can easily be wiped off，or simply washed off with water．" Lewis Pitchford，an employee at Threadsmiths，spoke about the new product： "Most people are pretty amazed when they see it．" Pitchford confirmed that while the company is only producing T-shirts for the time being，they are more than open to suggestions from the public about other types of other clothes that could be produced．
   As well as the obvious benefits for the fashion industry，the new material could be revolutionary for restaurants and cafes which could avoid problems caused by spills during busy services．On top of that，restaurants could potentially save a fortune on laundry bills for their staff's aprons and their chef's clothes．
   The material is machine washable and apparently is good for at least 80 washes before the full effect of the waterproof technology fades a little．The new T-shirts are available for men and women in a variety of standard sizes and sold for ＄65 each．

（1）This passage is most probably a（n）       ．

205772. （2018•西安一中•高二上期末） There are two main types of office layouts used by most companies around the world：Landscape Office and Enclosed Office．A landscape office lacks privacy，however，this office layout is more beneficial than an enclosed office for employees to improve work efficiency（效率） and productivity．
Some people might desire an undisturbed workplace．According to the survey collected from a company with the two kinds of office layouts，most of managers prefer a workplace where they can concentrate on their work and make a clear thinking．However，managers that possess their own enclosed offices might have the feeling of being distant from their clerks，which leads to high pressure．Meanwhile，employees tend to be nervous when they have conversations with their managers in an obviously hierarchical（等级制的） environment．In contrast，a landscape office makes it easier and more pleasant for employees to communicate with their managers or their colleagues；this would result in speeding up work efficiency and productivity．
Besides，greater interaction is beneficial for employees to build up friendship in a landscape office．This can be proved by the experiment of Brookes and Kaplan．They recorded the attitudes and opinions of 120 employees toward their enclosed office before they moved to the landscape office，and then after nine months they were tested again．The researchers discovered that those employees performed positive changes in group sociability．When people have better group sociability，they experience a better team work and efficient cooperation，which surely promotes work productivity．
Some opponents claim that a landscape office would lead to the decline of the value of work satisfaction and motivation from employees．However，the result from other researchers remained controversial；in their opinion there are several factors which affect job satisfaction and motivation．600 Canadian federal government department workers who were housed at a modern landscape office and were surveyed gave both negative and positive feedback．They admitted that they felt the sense of belonging to a team or a working community，which mainly contributes to job satisfaction．Motivation is also increased by a sense of responsibility for and loyalty to a team．
Admittedly，there are some advantages that only enclosed offices possess．However，a landscape office can combine the features of the traditional enclosed office，for example，designing the independent meeting room to decrease noise from discussion．Although the benefits of a landscape office outweigh those of an enclosed office，which layout is better should be decided by the characteristics of the people and the type of work they do．

（1）What is mainly talked about in the passage？
A．Colleague cooperation and its motivation．
B．Group sociability and its productivity．
C．Working environment and its effect．
D．Office privacy and its atmosphere．
（2）What has the significant effect on productivity according to Paragraph 2？
A．Job satisfaction．
B．Relaxed atmosphere．
C．Group sociability．
D．Undisturbed workplace．
（3）What can be inferred from the passage？
A．Enclosed office leads to individual creativity．
B．Different working styles in enclosed office is encouraged．
C．Landscape office contributes to effective conversations．
D．Frequent communication in landscape office results in high pressure．
（4）What is the author's attitude towards office layouts？
A．Objective．
B．Casual．
C．Optimistic．
D．Sceptical．

205771. （2018•西安一中•高二上期末） The fight is on to get rid of air pollution in our cities．While the best solution in the long-term would be to ban fossil-fueled cars，that won't help the millions who are dying in the meantime，and so some high-tech solutions are now on the cards．
In March 2016，10 London pigeons became famous．These pigeons took to the sky from Primrose Hill in north London，wearing backpacks monitoring air pollution．Once in the air，the backpacks sent live air-quality updates to the smartphones of the Londoners below．
The pigeons and their backpacks were just the latest in a series of increasingly desperate attempts to monitor and control air pollution．London's air pollution problem has been getting worse for years，and it often rises to more than three times the European Union's legal limit．
Another promising approach can be found in Beijing，after China declared a "war against pollution" in 2014．A seven-metre-high "Smog Free Tower"，designed by a Dutch scientist，Daan Roosegaarde，opened in Beijing's 751 D Park in September 2016．
It is a huge，outdoor air purifier．Airborne particles（颗粒）are sucked into the tower where they receive a positive charge．The particles are then caught by a negatively charged dust-removal plate and clean air is blown out of the other end． "Changing smog particles does not take much current．" Roosegaarde said．
As for what to do with the collected PM waste，he has currently set up a business making jewellery out of the waste．Prince Charles owns a set of "smog free" cufflinks（袖扣）．If collected on at a big scale，Roosegaarde believes it could even be used as a building material．
Mexico City has an alternative solution．Looking to Nature to maximize the surface area of a building，Allison Dring，a Berlin-based architect，managed to catch light and wind from all sides．She is now making a building material by burning agricultural crop by-products in the absence of oxygen． "It means that you are actually taking carbon（碳） out of the sky，transforming it into a material，and then using it to build，" says Dring．
The fight against outdoor air pollution is really just starting．Even if none of the ideas take off，at least Prince Charles' cufflinks，the special building surface and pigeons wearing back-packs will have brought the issue more to the public's attention．

205564. （2019•西安中学•高二上期末） Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money．Strange as it may seem，if you're unsatisfied，the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires----not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes．
   Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities to enjoy life．Most people are already swamped with things．They eat，wear，go and talk too much． They live in too big a house with too many rooms，yet their house of life is a hut．
   Your house of life ought to be a mansion，a royal palace．Every new taste，every additional interest，every fresh enthusiasm adds a room．Here are several rooms your house of life should have．
   Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things．If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them，they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry．
   Literature，classic literature，is a beautiful，richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment．To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person，for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library．
   Music like Mozart's and Bach'ouldn't be absent．Real riches are of the spirit．And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk，you have increased your thrills and bettered them．And life is a matter of thrills．
   Sports，without which you remain poor，mean a lot in life．No matter who you are．you would be more human，and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days，if you could，and did，play a bit．
   Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life，the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding．

202482. （2021•西安中学•二模） Honeybees can't swim，and when their wings are wet，they can't fly，either.But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees drop into bodies of water，they can use their wings to produce little waves and slide toward land-like surfers（冲浪者）who create and then ride their own waves.
   As with many scientific advances-Isaac Newton's apple or Benjamin Franklin's lightning bolt-Dr.Roh's experiment began with a walk.Passing Caltech's Millikan Pond in 2016，he observed a bee on the water's surface producing waves.He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.
   Dr.Roh and his co-worker，Morteza Gharib，used butterfly nets to collect local Pasadena honeybees and observed their surf-like movements.The researchers used a wire to restrict each bee's bodily movement，allowing close examination of their wings.They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle，pulling up water and producing a forward force.Bees get trapped on the surface because water is roughly three times heavier than air.But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down.It's a tough exercise for the bees，which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.
   The researchers said the surf-like movement hasn't been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic（半水生的） insects use their legs for propulsion，which is known as water-walking.It may have evolved in bees，they predicted.
   Dr.Roh and Dr.Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees' surfing.One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea."This could be useful for search and rescues，or for getting samples of the surface of the ocean，if you can't send a boat or helicopter，" Dr.Gharib said.

（1）What does the author intend to show by mentioning Newton and Franklin？
A．Roh's admiration for them.
B．Roh's chance discovery about bees.
C．Their outstanding talent for science.
D．Their similar achievements in discovery.
（2）What plays the most vital role in a bee's moving forward on water？
A．The air weight.
B．Its leg extension.
C．The water movement.
D．Its continuous wingbeat.
（3）What does the underlined word "propulsion" in Paragraph 4 mean？
A．Fast flight.
B．Driving force.
C．Pulling speed.
D．Explosive power.
（4）According to the last Paragraph，which of the following isn't the practical applications for bees' surfing？
A．Designing robots with the ability to travel across both sky and sea.
B．Rescuing ships or saving sailors trapped in the ocean.
C．Acquiring knowledge of moving samples of the surface of the ocean.
D．Making helicopters in the shape of bees.
（5）What does the text mainly tell us？
A．Honeybees can surf to safety.
B．Bees help scientists make inventions.
C．Insects can adapt to the environment.
D．Nature is a helpful guide for discovery.

203320. （2016•西工大附中•七模） Andy Steele lives just a few blocks from the campus of Black Hills State University in Spearfish，S．D．，so commuting（经常往返） to class isn't the problem．But he doesn't like lectures much，isn't a morning person，and wants time during the day to restore motorcycles．
So Steele，a full-time senior business major，has been taking as many classes as he can from the South Dakota State system's online offerings．He gets better grades and learns more，he says，and insists he isn't missing out on the college experience．
"I still know a lot of people from my first two years living on campus，and I still meet a lot of people，"he says．But now，he sets his own schedule．
At least 2.3 million people took some kind of online courses，according to a recent survey by the Sloan Consortium，an online education group，and two-thirds of colleges offering"face-to-face"courses also offer online ones．But what were once two different types of classes are looking more and more alike and often falling into the same pool of students．
At some schools，online courses originally intended for non-traditional students living far from campus have proved surprisingly popular with on-campus students．A recent study found 42 percent of the students enrolled in its distance education courses were located on campus at the university that was hosting the online courses．
Numbers vary depending on the policies of particular colleges，but other schools also have students mixing and matching online and"face-to-face"credits．Motives range from lifestyle to adapting to a job schedule to getting into high-demand courses．
Washington State had about 325 on-campus undergraduates taking one or more distance courses last year．As many as 9，000 students took both distance and in-person classes at Arizona State last year．
"Business is really about providing choices to their customers，and that's really what we want to do，"said Sheila Aaker，extended services coordinator （协调人） at Black Hills State．
Many schools，such as Washington State and Arizona State，let departments and academic units decide who can take an online course．They say students with legitimate academic needs-a conflict with another class，a course they need to graduate that is full-often get permission，though they still must take some key classes in person．
（1）What is the purpose of the passage？
A．To introduce Steele to us，who prefers online courses．
B．To tell us about the development of campus courses．
C．To show the differences between campus courses and online courses．
D．To show more on-campus students are taking online courses．
（2）We can learn from the passage that Andy Steele ．

A．lives far from the campus	B．knows none of his classmates
C．wants to have his own lifestyle D．doesn't get good marks

（3）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？
A．The undergraduates attend the online courses for different purposes．
B．It is expected that distance education is popular with on-campus students．
C．About 325 on-campus undergraduates took online courses in Washington last year．
D．Different colleges have different policies about online courses．
（4）From what Sheila Aaker said in the passage，we can tell ．
A．business is the most popular major in universities
B．collegeould provide more majors for students
C．where the similarity between business and colleges lies
D．why colleges offer online courses to on-campus students．

203303. （2016•西工大附中•十模） If you never read the classic F．Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby，now is your chance to catch up-by watching the latest film adaptation．Because if there's one sentence to sum up the film，it would be，as Fox News says in its review，"It's just like the book"．
Director Baz Luhrmann's main challenge was"either to find a visual equivalent（相等物） for Fitzgerald's elegant essay--the open secret of the book's staying power--or to bend the material to his own exotic（异国的） strengths，"a Time magazine review says．He tries it both ways，with varying degrees of success．
Considered to be Fitzgerald's representative work，The Great Gatsby explores themes of idealism，resistance to change，social change，and excess，creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream．
Nick，the narrator，moves to New York for the summer to visit his cousin Daisy．His next-door neighbor is Jay Gatsby （Leonardo DiCaprio），who rarely contacts with others and is rumored to be a hero of the Great War．Gatsby claims to have attended Oxford University，but the evidence is suspect．As Nick learns more about Gatsby，every detail about him seems questionable，except his love for Daisy．Though Daisy is married，Gatsby still adores her as his"golden girl．"They first met when she was a young lady from a wealthy family and he was a working-class military officer．Daisy promised to wait for his return from the war．However，she married Tom，a classmate of Nick．Having obtained a great fortune，Gatsby sets out to win her back again．
"All of Fitzgerald's original creation finds its way into this film，even going as far as to include quite a bit of the original dialogue，"US film critic Justin Taroli writes in his review．"The cast is beautiful as is the script，and the scenes are a visual feast，"Taroli adds．
DiCaprio does a good and professional job as the socialite by recreating Fitzgerald's description of Gatsby's charm．"He can look at someone for an instant and understand how perfectly he or she wants to be seen，"David Denby，a film critic for The New Yorker，says in his review．
The use of music is almost reason enough to see the film．"Luhrmann is at his best mixing visual and musical styles together to create something wholly original，"the Fox News review says．
For example，in one of the most outstanding scenes in the film，the first party scene，Nick walks quickly from one party guest to another party guest trying to explain all the gossip about Gatsby until he is finally introduced to the man himself，while the most stirring version of Rhapsody in Blue （composed by American musician George Gershwin in 1924）is played in the background．
（1）What did Baz Luhrmann do to make the film a success？
A．He adapted the story in the novel as he wished．
B．He made the film more powerful than the book．
C．He mixed his style with the elegance of the essay．
D．He showed the elegance of the pictures in the film．
（2）What is Taroli's attitude towards the film？
A．Favorable．
B．Sceptical．
C．Amazed．
D．Unconcerned．
（3）What are the characteristics of Gatsby？
A．Faithful and warm-hearted．
B．Charming and professional．
C．Selfish and stubborn．
D．Mysterious and devoted．
（4）Why does the author give the example of the first party scene in the last paragraph？
A．Unfold the fact that Nick wants to know more about Gatsby．
B．Show the version of Rhapsody in Blue matches the film well．
C．Prove that the director is good at combining visual and music．
D．Convince us that the first scene is perfectly shot by the director．

203284. （2016•华清中学•二模） Teens don't understand the big fuss （小题大做）．As the first generation to grow up in a wired world，they hardly know a time when computers weren't around，and they eagerly catch the chance to spend hours online，chatting with friends．So what？
But researchers nationwide are increasingly worried that teens are becoming isolated （孤寂），less skillful at person-to-person relationships，and perhaps numb （麻木） to the cheatings that are so much a part of the e-mail world．"And a teen's sense of self and values may be changed in a world where personal connections can be limitless，"said Sherry Turkle．
