Jumanji is a story for children about a very strange game - a game that becomes far too real and frightening for the players. It was a story by Chris Van Allsburg, which was later filmed in 1996, starring the famous American actor Robin Williams. The story begins in 1869 in New Hampshire, America. Two young brothers bury a box under some trees. A hundred years later, in 1969, a boy, Alan Panish, finds the box and takes it home. He’s unhappy that his father may want to send him to a boarding school (寄宿学校）. Alan's friend Sarah arrives, and they open the box. Inside is a board game. At the start of the game, some words appear: “Do you want to leave the world behind and go back to the past? Then this is the game for you.” Suddenly Alan finds that he is disappearing into the game.The story has a deep meaning. Through his adventures Alan learns something important - if you confront(面对) your fears, your problems will go away. Alan turns to face Van Pelt, the hunter who is trying to kill him. In doing so, he completes the game and returns to reality. Then he finds that his father is not going to send him to boarding school after all. In Jumanji, time is “elastic”. The film director Stephen Spielberg’s “Back to the Future” films play with time in the same way. Top scientists even tell us now that time travel is theoretically(理论上) possible!
56．Who acted in the film?[A] Robin Williams.[B] Stephen Spielberg.[C] Chris Van Allsburg.[D] Van Pelt.

58．Through the game Alan has realized that whenever he has difficulties he should ____.[A] face them directly[B] ask for his father’s advice[C] read the words on the box[D] escape into the past
59．What does the author mean by saying “time is ‘elastic’” in the last paragraph?[A] Science can change the meaning of time.[B] Time is a common topic in filmmaking.[C] One can travel in space.[D] One can travel in time.Text 2
Parents might say “honesty is the best policy,” but when it comes to talking with their own children, mom and dad lie surprisingly often, finds a new study carried out by researchers in the University of Toronto, Canada. Almost every parent in the study admits having come up with some tales to influence a child’s actions and feelings. For example, a parent is annoyed by a child’s crying and says, “The police will come to get you if you don’t stop crying now.” In another example, an uncle has just died and the child is told that he has become a star to watch over the child.Whether parents lie to benefit themselves or to protect the child, researchers suggest such tall tales could give children mixed messages at a time when they are trying to figure out how to deal with the social world. Lies could also harm the parent-child relationship. It could even keep children from learning certain rules. “If I am always lying to the child in order to get the child to do X, Y, or Z, then they have never learned why they should do X, Y, or Z.” Heyman, one of the researchers, said. Heyman also said, “It is common for parents totry out various ways, including lying, to guide a child, but most parents never think about how it will influence their child. I think parents should figure it out in advance what their general beliefs are, so when it comes to the situation you’re working with your beliefs rather than what comes into your head at the moment.”
60．What did the researchers find out in their recent study?[A] Most parents are strict with their children.[B] Many parents like to tell police stories.[C] Few parents believe in honesty.[D] Parents often lie to children.
61．What do the underlined words “tall tale” in paragraph 3 mean?[A] a story mixed with lies.[B] a story based on truth and facts.[C] a story too long to be interesting.[D] a story beyond children’s understanding.
62．According to the research, how may children be affected by their parents’ lies?[A] They may fall behind in school.[B] They may lie to their parents too.[C] They may get confused about the society.[D] They may feel they are being overprotected.
63．What’s Heyman’s suggestion for parents?[A] Teach their children about rules.[B] Guide their children on sound beliefs.[C] Influence their children in various ways.[D] Figure out children’s problems in advance.Text 3
When Tom Szaky sees a juice container thrown away, he doesn’t see rubbish; he sees a pencil case. Sweet wrappers (包装纸)? A beautiful kite. But these are not the imaginings of a dreamer. For the 28-year-old CEO of Trenton, New Jersey-based TerraCycle, they’re a business model. The fast-talking Szaky is leading the new industry of upcycling. Instead of recycling (shredding or breaking down materials and enabling them to be reproduced as other products), TerraCycle takes packaging headed for landfills (垃圾填埋) and reuses it - more or less whole. TerraCycle’s 85 employees make nearly 200 products, sold at shops such as Petco, Kmart, Whole Foods Market, and Target. Szaky’s $7.4 million company, now also moving aheadin Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom and Brazil is a far cry from the business he founded with classmate Jon Beyer in 2002 as a freshman at Princeton University. The two entered a business competition with a plan to sell an organic plant fertilizer () made from worm waste. They lost the competition but started the business anyway. With their goal - to make products entirely out of rubbish - suddenly clear, Szaky knew the time was right to drop out of Princeton. TerraCycle’s first product used dining-hall waste to feed the worms and thrown-away bottles to package the fertilizer. The result: a cheap, green breakthrough. Word spread, and in 2004, Home Depot began carrying the fertilizer in its Canadian stores. To Szaky, waste does not exist in nature. TerraCycle is a “second chance” employer of, say, a piece of furniture, an ice-cream container. As Szaky points out: “The biggest problem with most green, fair-trade, and organic products is that they tend to cost more. At TerraCycle, everything is made from rubbish, and rubbish is free. People should be able to protect the planet without having to pay a cost for that right.”
64．Who is Tom Szaky?[A] A student at Princeton University.[B] The manager of a food company.[C] An employee of Home Depot.[D] CEO of TerraCycle.
65．What do we know about the new industry of upcycling?[A] It puts waste materials directly into new use.[B] It promotes completely natural foods.[C] It buries waste materials in landfills.[D] It makes organic plant fertilizer.
66．How did Szaky get the idea of upcy cling?[A] From his visits to foreign companies.[B] From his studies at Princeton University.[C] Through shopping at big stores in America.[D] Through the experience of a business competition.
67．What is the advantage of upcy cling according to Szaky?[A] The cost is kept low.[B] The product is free.[C] The product has a longer life.[D] More materials are availableText 4
A pure virus (病毒) couldbe kept in a bottle, just like hundreds of other chemicals. Yet, when a virus is placed on a living thing, it comes to life. As long as it is on a living material, it grows.A difficult question still remains - what is a virus? Is it living or chemical? Men of science had always thought life and not-life to be as different as black and white. With the discovery of the virus, they became aware of a grey area that was neither black nor white. Until the 1930’s, it was accepted that there was also a great difference in size between the largest chemical molecules (分子) and the smallest living things. As new and much finer filters (过滤器) were invented, men were able to measure viruses. The first virus to be measured was found to be about 100 millimicrons (毫微米) across. The largest known chemical molecule measures only 22 millimicrons. The smallest living thing measures almost seven times that size or 150 millimicrons. When viruses were measured, they were found to range in size from 16 millimicrons to 300 millimicrons. Most were found to be larger than the largest chemical molecules and smaller than the smallest living things.The answer to the puzzle - what is a virus? - must be that it is both living and not living. In a living cell, it is a live thing. In a bottle, it is nothing more than a chemical. We now realize that the virus is actually a link between life and not-life.
68．What is this text mainly about?[A] How viruses should be understood.[B] The effect viruses have on living things.[C] How filters are used in studying viruses.[D] The researches scientists do with viruses.
60．What makes a virus come to life?[A] A large chemical molecule.[B] A dead chemical.[C] An active virus.[D] A living cell.
70．What do the underlined words “a grey area” in paragraph 2 refer to?[A] The discovery of unknown chemicals.[B] Viruses in a state of living and not living.[C] A difficult question unsolved about viruses.[D] The colour of viruses between black and white.
71．Which of the following is the smallest in size?[A] Viruses. [B] New filters.[C] Living cells. [D] Chemical molecules.Text 5Good Value Britain
