三、阅读理解（本大题共20小题，共50分）

A

    The movie theater is a fantasy land that takes the dreams of anyone. It attracts groups of different tastes. There are certain characteristics that distinguish these people from one another. And the characteristics also help guide directors towards what is going to be the next big cinematic presentation.
    The Regulars
    They are basically amateur movie critics themselves due to the amount of movies they watch. They do not decide more between movies and can generally see two or even three in one sitting. So older people are the regulars due to their plenty of free time they have.
    The Young Parents
    Children's movies are their entertainment of choice, and they tend to choose light-hearted humor over everything. Usually friendly, this group are great at socializing. As for the movie category for children, directors trust this group as they know what is wanted and expected in the types of movies.
    The Couple
    They are quick to get into the cinema and usually buy what is required by the female partner. What is usually a similar theme in their movies is at least a hinting at a love story of some sort. These groups are excellent test subjects for the production of Nicholas Sparks type movies as they feel like their love story is the next big production and thus directors are drawn towards them.
    The Noisy Teens
    These types can interrupt a movie countless times. Though they may buy tons of food, they seem somehow not to send the food into their mouths and employees find much food is left on the floor as if a food fight went on during the film. Action and adventure movies come out usually for this crowd because the plot and fast-paced nature of the film usually keep the teens at bay for that time period.

36.  The text would most benefit ______.

A. film lovers B. movie directors C. theater visitors D. cinema bosses

37.  What do we learn about the Couple？

A. They are required to get into the cinema soon.
B. Both of them enjoy movies of different themes.
C. The female partner often decides what they see.
D. They like to judge the quality of the love-story films.

38.  Which group will probably pay little attention to the subject of the movie？

A. The Regulars. B. The Young Parents. C. The Couple. D. The Rowdy Teens.

39.  What kind of movies most likely attracts the teens？

A. Light-hearted humor movies. B. Nicholas Sparks type movies.
C. Exciting movies about the war. D. Romantic love-story movies.

40.  What's the text mainly about？

A. Analysis of movie theater goers.
B. Movies for people with different tastes.
C. Approaches to attracting audiences.
D. The recipe to pick a popular movie.

B

Enough “meaningless drivel”. That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.

     The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.

     “The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.

     It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “we need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller.

     Would we pay any more attention to a kite mark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information.” But what would happen in practice is another matter, he says.

      Other organizations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand, but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.

Shadbolt, who gave evidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’t know how companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of personal information have become valuable only recently, he says.

     The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administered, a kite mark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to, although they would still have to actually read them.

41.  What does the phrase“ meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?

A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.
B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.
C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.
D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.

42.  It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether _______.

A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark scheme
B. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they think
C. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scale
D. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models

43.  Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because ______.

A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years old
B. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understand
C. the information they collected could become more valuable in future
D. it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of

44.  The writer advises users of social media to ______.

A. think carefully before posting anything onto such websites
B. read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemark
C. take no further action if they can find a kitemark
D. avoid providing too much personal information

45.  Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A. Say no to social media? B. New security rules in operation?
C. Accept without reading? D. Administration matters!

C

    Normally, a phone conversation with my older sister Jenna would end with sisterly jokes. But this time, we both said, "I love you." Days later, aged 28, Jenna died of a serious disease.
    Losing Jenna was the most terrible thing I'd ever experienced, but five years on I can see that it also shaped who I am today. Jenna encouraged me to find humor at the darkest of times, and her death gave me a sense of fearlessness, which led to me becoming a stand-up comedian.
    At 31, I now see that life's too short to worry about my own insecurities. Growing up together, the two of us were incredibly close. We stuck together and even shared a room. Lying in our beds at night, Jenna would sing Sleeping Satellite by Tasmin Archer to me when I got scared of the dark.
    I was studying at university when I was told that Jenna had a serious disease. I had no idea what to do, how to react or what to say. But when I got to the hospital, Jenna took my hand and said, "Jayde, can you make everyone laugh? They're all looking at me like I'm about to die and it's getting on my nerves."
    From that point on, during Jenna's regular hospital stays, I'd joke around and try to lighten the mood. I wanted to make everyone around her stop acting like she was about to die—because we didn't know that she was.
    When she did die two years later, it was a complete shock. Seeing her in hospital in the end, connected to machines, was awful—as was seeing my parents' sadness. But I still joked around, making fun of her for not taking care of her eyebrows. She died that same day.
    Nothing can prepare you for losing your sister. I felt like I didn't know what to do without her. It took two years for the sadness to start to lift, but when it did, I began seeing life differently.
    I'd watched my sister die, so I knew nothing else could hurt as much. I found myself letting go of all the insecurities that had held me back previously. It was around then that I entered the Funny Women competition—something I would never have had the confidence to do before Jenna's death.
    My win marked a huge turning point in my career and led to my recent show at the Soho Theatre in London. I sometimes wonder if I'd be doing all this if Jenna hadn't died. But the thing is, she did—and this is what I've been left with.

46.  What inspired the author to become a stand-up comedian?

A. Her sister encouraged her to be humorous and fearless.
B. Her parents were sad, so she wanted to cheer them up.
C. She got a serious disease and was going to die.
D. She wanted to delight her sister, who was seriously ill.

47.  How was the relationship between the author and her sister?

A. They had their own room, but they would like to sleep together.
B. Even though they loved each other, they often had conflicts.
C. The author had been very close to her sister since they were young.
D. Her sister sang songs to comfort the author on rainy days.

48.  Why did Jenna ask the author to "make everyone laugh"?

A. She wanted other people to forget her illness.
B. She did not believe that she was about to die.
C. She was fed up with the boring hospital life.
D. She was tired of everyone's anxiety.

49.  Which of the following can replace the word "lift" (para.7)?

A. Remove. B. Disappear. C. Raise. D. Deepen.

50.  How did the author change after her sister died?

A. She did not feel hurt as before anymore.
B. She became confident enough to do a stand-up show.
C. She prepared herself for losing close family members.
D. She no longer worried about her insecurities.

D

    The worldwide 20th century "Green Revolution", which saw huge year-by-year increases in global grain yields (产量), was fueled by the development in the 1960s of new high-yielding dwarfed (矮小) varieties known as Green Revolution Varieties (GRVs).
    These dwarfed GRVs are common all over the world in today's wheat and rice crops. Because they are dwarfed, with short stems, GRVs devote relatively more resources than tall plants to the growth of grains rather than stems, and are less likely to suffer yield losses from wind and rain damage. However, the growth of GRVs requires farmers to use large amounts of nitrogen fertilizers (氮肥) in their fields. These fertilizers are costly to farmers and cause extensive damage to the natural environment. The development of new GRVs combining high yields with reduced fertilizer requirements is thus a global agricultural goal.
    Researchers at the University of Oxford and the Chinese Academy of Science have discovered for the first time a gene that can help reach the goal. Comparing 36 different dwarfed rice varieties, the researchers identified a novel natural gene that helps increase the rate at which plants make use of nitrogen from the soil. This gene, called GRF4, can increase the amount of a protein (蛋白质) in plant cells. GRF4 is actually a promoter that encourages the activity of other genes—genes that promote nitrogen uptake (摄入). Professor Harberd said, "Increasing GRF4 levels could contribute to an increase in the grain yields of GRVs, especially at low fertilizer input levels."
    The researchers say the latest rice variety containing GRVs should now become a major target for farmers in increasing crop yields and fertilizer use efficiency, with the aim of achieving the global grain yield increases necessary to feed a growing world population at a reduced environmental cost. It is very urgent at the moment.
    Professor Harberd added, "This study is an example of how studying fundamental science objectives can lead rapidly to potential solutions to global challenges. It shows how the discovery can enable chances for food security and future new green revolutions."

51.  What can we know about dwarfed GRVs？

A. They have higher yield and taller stems.
B. They are a "double-edged sword".
C. They are environmentally friendly.
D. They can be easily affected by weather.

52.  What does "the goal" in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Increasing the rate of nitrogen use.
B. Producing cheaper nitrogen fertilizers.
C. Using fewer fertilizers to produce more grains.
D. Finding a gene to solve agricultural problems.

53.  What can GRV directly do?

A. It promotes other genes' activity. B. It increases the output of crops.
C. It takes in nitrogen from the soil. D. It lowers fertilizer input levels.

54.  What's the urgent thing recently according to the researchers?

A. Decreasing the amount of fertilizers required by GRF4s.
B. Encouraging farmers to adopt the new rice variety.
C. Calling on farmers to use effective fertilizers.
D. Focusing on the improvement of GRV.

55.  What's the main idea of the text?

A. GRV—a potential measure to achieve global food security.
B. The influence of agricultural development on the environment.
C. The importance of raising public awareness of global issues.
D. GRV—foundation for new green revolutions.
