might not want to admit it,but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyones heart-we all wish we couldachieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity or neglect.Mary Santiago has that secret dream,too.Her story is featured inAnother Cinderella Story,a film set in a US highschool.Mary is shy but loves to dance.Compared with other girls,she is invisible.However,her world changes completelywhen a famous teenager pop singer,Joey Parker,appears.Joey is everything that the rest of the boys in her class are not-kind,handsome and desirable.Mary and Joeyspaths cross at a ball.They meet and fall in love with each other.But when Mary has to rush back home,she leavesbehind her MP3 player,which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams.Of course,there is awicked（邪恶的）stepmother,who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies.Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesnt get into the top dance school.Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary,even if that means embarrassing her.The story,though it mostly follows Cinderella,does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale.Refreshingly,the film,unlike many high school films,does not focus on looks,although the actors are all beautiful.There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.“The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point,writes the movie critic Amber Wilkinson.MThefocus is firmly on following your dream.In the movie,Mary Sant i ago.A.is brave in expressing her love B.has a dream of meeting a princeC.is badly treated by the stepmother D.is embarrassed by the pop singer2、What does the underlined word in Paragraphl probably mean?A.being popular B.being selfish C.being famous D.being unknown3、According to the passage,Another Cinderella St or y.A.follows Cinderella with nothing new specialB.encourages young people to follow their dreamsC.pays more attention to the looks of the actorsD.focuses more on materialism than other films4、The passage is mainly aboutA.a fairy tale B.an essay about dreamsC.a film review D.an advertisement of a film22.（8 分）“Heaven is where the police are English,the cooks are French the mechanics are German,thelovers are Italian and everything is organized by the Swiss.Hellis where the.police are German,the cooks areEnglish,the mechanics are French,the lovers are Swiss,and everything is organized by the Italians.”Obviously the national stereotypes（模式化的思想）in this,old joke are generalizations,but suchstereotypes are often said to exist for a reason.Is there actually a sliver of truth in them?Not likely,aninternational research team now says.National and cultural stereotypes do play an important role in how people see themselves andothers,and being aware that these are not dependable is a useful thing/said study author Robert McCrae ofthe National Institute on Aging.nThese are in fact unfounded stereotypes.They dont come from lookingaround you,McCrae said.If national stereotypes arent rooted in real experiences,then where do they come from?One possibility isthat they reflect national values,which may become known from historical events.For example,manyhistorians have argued that the spirit of American individualism has its origins in the experiences of thepioneers on the Old West.Social scientists such as psychologist Richard Robins have given several other possible explanations forstereotypes and why they may be incorrect.Robins notes that some stereotypes may have been correct at onepoint in history and then remained unchanged while the culture changed.We may be hard-wiredMzto some degree,to keep incorrect stereotypes,since we are less likely to noticeandremember information thatisdifferentfrom our stereotypes.Generally,accordingto Robins,when wemeet people who are different from our stereotypes,we see them as unique individuals rather than typicalnational or cultural groups.1、What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To introduce the topic of national stereotypes.B.To make a comparison between the characters of different countries.C.To exemplify the argument against stereotyping.D.To analyze the strengths and weaknesses of people in different countries.2 Which of the following best describes McCrae*s attitude towards national stereotypes?A.Supportive.B.IndifferentC.Critical.D.Uncertain.3、According to social scientists,why arent national stereotypes always correct?A.Because they are formed by individual historians.B.Because people tend to have false idea about other cultures.C.Because generalizations are made through personal experience.D.Because what was true in the past may not be true at present.4、What does the underlined word nhard-wiredH in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Forgetful.B.Fixed.C.Anxious.D.Helpless.23.（8 分）When I first got an e-mail account ten years ago,I received communications only from family,friends,and colleagues.Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail,!have an endless series of advertisements andother correspondence that do not interest me at all.If we want e-mail to continue to be useful,we need specific laws thatmake spamming（发送垃圾邮件）a crime.If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam,the problem will certainly get much worse.Computerprograms allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly.As more and more advertisers turntospamtoselltheirproducts,individuale-mailboxesareoftenfloodedwithspame-mails.Wouldpeoplecontinuetousee-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well.Many spam e-mails contain computer viruses thatcan shut down the entire network of a company.Companies rely on e-mail for their employees to communicate witheach other.Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks,and their employees are thusunable to communicate effectively.Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedlyrepair their networks.These computer problems raise production costs of companies,which are,in the end,passes on tothe consumer.For these reasons,I believe that lawmakers need to legislate 位法）against spam.Spammers should be fined,andperhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people.E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world tocommunicate conveniently,but spam is destroying this convenience.1、What does the underlined word“correspondence”in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.messages B.ideasC.connections D.programs2、According to the text,what

informB.To educateC.To persuade D.To instruct24.（8 分）Away with wordsThe telegraph,an online news service,has teamed up with Saga,which provides products and services only for theover 50s,to hold a new
