The Kinema showed its fir
11、st film in 1922 and the first six rows were deckchair (折 叠 帆 布 躺 椅 ). Today, its more richly decorated. “People come here because its a fantastic experience,” says manager Philip Jones. “Many rooms in the Kinema are simple and not attractive, but we try to remain everything that makes it special.” T

They are “unique for what we do, which is to operate seven nights a week and with no funding.” They make many things themselves, such as cola and yogurt. Th
13、e Broadway, NottinghamA cinema has been here since the 1960s, when local fashion designer Paul Smith wouldcome to see arty foreign films, which heavily influenced his career choice. Later, he designed the stripy(条 纹 的 ) sofas. The Broadway was previously used as a church, but locals love it for its

The Broadway also has a right-on restaurant, with locally sourced vegetables and salads, and even serves its own beer.The Rex, HertfordshireIt opened to the public in 1938 and has been named the most beautiful cinema in the UK. 3Theres a varied program with di
15、fferent films every night. Hot dogs and popcorn are banned. And a real person answers the phone when you call.People speak very highly of the Rex.

I had been at the top of my high school class, the total golden child. So when I decided that I wanted to attend Columbia University for graduate
18、school(研究生院), I was sure it would be close to impossible. My goals were to prove to myself that my years of academic success in secondary school had not happened by chance and prepare for a career in childrens media. But first I had to get in.So I enrolled (报名) in a GRE test prep course and threw my
19、self into the class. The first part was pretty scary and by the third, I knew it wasnt going to get any easier. I reconsidered my plan totake the GRE.For the first time in my life, I considered how I should go about getting into graduate school.What were my special skills? Would any of them get me i
20、nto graduate school?I got a job working on a project sponsored by the deans (系主任的) office on campus and enrolled in a class. I had a new plan: Be a top student in the class while working on campus, get letters of recommendation from my boss and professor, then hope that playing to my strengths likew
21、riting interesting papers would be enough for my application.I worked my butt off (很努力工作) that semester( 学期). With finals approaching, I felt con-fident I would get an “A” in the course, so it was time for step two. I asked my boss to write a letterof recommendation. She immediately agreed. But my p
22、rofessor said no. She did not know me well enough and the semester was not completed. However, I decided I just would not take no for ananswer. I asked if she would least write a short note unofficially supporting my application. Aftersome uncomfortable conversations, she finally agreed. In the end,
23、 I got in! I revisit that moment of persistence (执着) again and again. I have leapt into many other opportunities since then. Now I am starting a company born out of my graduate school research inchildrens media. Our first product is a mobile game for teen girls that breaks down major life mile-stone
24、s (里 程 碑 ) into missions (任 务 ). On this surface， the product helps girls connect with each other. But it also helps them develop the tools to live life without limits.24. The writer stopped taking the GRE prep course because _. A. the beginning of the GRE course was really frightening B. she realiz
25、ed by the third part of her GRE class that her plan wouldnt work C. Columbia University would not accept the GRE test 4D. she didnt put all her efforts into the GRE course at first 25. The underlined words “playing to my strengths” in Paragraph 5 probably mean “ _”. A. developing my physical power B
26、. making use of what I am good at C. doing something to the best of my ability D. doing something with all the strength I have26. One of the reasons why the professor refused to write a letter of recommendation was that _.A. the author had almost failed out of college B. the author was not a top stu
27、dent in high school C. the author was not her favorite student in the classD. the professor did not know enough about the author 27. The writer succeeded in getting into the graduate school because of _. A. her “A” grade B. her strong letters of recommendation C. her strong determination and her goo
28、d plan to make herself stand out D. her interest in childrens media and outstanding skills in writing interesting papersCIN China, red is known to be a lucky color. But you may be surprised to know that British culture is also full of the color red. Its true: Go to Britain and you will see red every
29、where. There are red postboxes on street corners and on the sides of buildings. The British red phone box is famous all over the world. The famous double-decker (双 层 ) bus is red. Red is the color traditionally worn by British soldiers in battle (战 争 ),and there is red in the UKs Union Jack national
30、 flag. Britain even has a famous team of stunt (特 技 ) jet fighters (喷 气 式 战 斗 机 )called“The Red Arrows”.To go with British cultures love of red, British nature also features many red animals.A beloved bird is the robin (知 更 鸟 ), which has a bright red breast (胸 脯 ). At Christmas timein winter, the b
31、ird is commonly found on the greetings cards people send each other. There is also quite a rare animal called the red squirrel (松 鼠 ). Foxes are red, and they used to be huntedby men in red outfits (服 装 ).But is red considered lucky to British people? A good way to seehow a culture looks at a color
32、is to look at the way it uses it in language. The results may surprise you. Even though Britain has a lot of red on its high streets and in its countryside, redis used quite differently as a metaphor (比 喻 ). If someone “sees red”, they are angry. When aperson is “red faced”, they are out of breath o
33、r blushing (脸 红 ). Red is also a political color:it means a left-winger (blue is the color of the political right). To be “in the red” is to be in debt (someone in credit (存 款 ) is “in the black”). Look hard enough and youll find the color red being used in all countries. For instance the “red heart
34、” symbol (符 号 ) is pretty universal. But whether the British realize it or not, redis everywhere in Britain. It does seem that the country is in love with the color. 28. The article is mainly about _. A. the metaphor of red in the English language B. the preference for red animals in Britain C. the
35、history of red items in Britain D. the color red in British culture 29. Someone saying bad words about you behind your back might make you _. 5A. red-faced B. see red C. in the red D. in the black30. It can be inferred from the article that _. A. red has different meanings depending on the context (
36、情 境 ) B. the color red is not as popular as it was before in Britain C. most British people are aware of (知 道 的 ) how popular the color red is in British cultureD. British people are often asked to explain the meaning of the color red 31. The main purpose of the article is to _. A. compare B. judge
37、C. inform D. argue DFOR thousands of years, Stonehenge(史 前 巨 石 阵 )has confused visitors with a seemingly un-answerablequestion: Why would anyone carry so many huge stones across Britain and put them in a ring? It seems even stranger when you think of the fact that it was done by prehistoric people w
38、orking without modern technology, not even a wheel. Stonehenge has started endless debates over the centuries. Experts have said at differenttimes that it was a temple, a calendar (日 历 ) or a graveyard (墓 地 ).Yet “all the ideas to date could be mistaken,”said Julian Spalding, a famous art critic (评
39、论 家 ) and former director of some of the UKs leading museums. “Weve been looking at Stonehenge the wrong way: from the earth, which is very much a 20th century viewpoint,” hetold The Guardian. Spalding has put forward a new theory about Stonehenge in his latest book, Realisation: From Seeing to Unde
40、rstanding. “The current theories about Stonehenge are based on looking across the ground, which is a modern idea,” he writes in his new book. He told The Guardian that in ancient times, spiritual ceremonies didnt happen on the ground. Prehistoric people believed that in this way they could get close
41、r to the heavens. So Spalding says that “rituals (仪 式 ) at Stonehenge were performed in the same way not among the stones, but on top of them,” reported The Washington Post. He re-imagines a scene in his book, explaining how the mysterious site was used: Stonehenge held up a large, circular platform
42、 (平 台 ). It was a raised altar (圣 坛 ) reached by stairs, and thousands of people might have worshipped (祈 祷 ) there.To support his theory, Spalding lists examples from ancient civilizations worldwide. In China, Peru and Turkey, such sacred (神 圣 的 ) monuments (遗 迹 ) were built high up, whether on man
43、-made or natural sites. In an interview with The Washington Post, Spalding said the wood that would have been used for the platform had long since rotted away (腐 烂 ), leaving only the stone pillars (柱 子 ) that supported it behind. So far scholars have had “a fair degree of skepticism (怀 疑 )”about th
44、ese ideas, accordingto The Huffington Post. Sir Barry Cunliffe, prehistorian and Oxford University archaeology (考6古 学 ) professor said: “He could be right, but I know of no evidence to support itThere are alarge number of stone circles around the country which clearly didnt have a platform on top.

A team of professional researchers, led by the scientist Dr. Matt Phillips, was trying to learn more about the fish and various creatures that livein this part of the sea. 36 The team used a piece of underwater equipment called a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to collect information.
