King Kong is a movie about an adventure on an island called Skull, where an oversize gorilla named Kong falls in love with a blonde beauty.
It has been 72 years since the story was first brought to the screen. But the latest movie version is a box office hit in the US. Every 10-year-old boy knows Kong, and his image is used to sell everything from insurance to snacks.
So what is it that makes the story attractive to generations of Americans?
Set in the Great Depression of the 1930s, the film follows New York actress Ann Darrow, who is forced to act as a leading lady in a movie. She was taken to the Skull Island, where she was caught by the aboriginals, who want to sacrifice her to King Kong, a gorilla. But instead of eating Ann, King Kong saves her. He is captured and dragged back to New York. There he bursts free and climbs the Empire State Building in search of Ann.
Why did King Kong appear in 1937 and why is he back now?
In 1933 a worldwide economic depression threw the future into doubt. “The monster represents American workers’ feelings at being caged by forces beyond their control,” says Gerald Molyneaux, the biographer of Charlie Chaplin.
Now, once again, Americans worry about their future in an age of terror, threatened by the presence of al-Qaida (基地组织).
But some people, on the other hand, see the movie just as what it is.
“I am confident the story is not any type of social or political symbol,” says artist Dave Dorman, creator of the cover illustrations for the new King Kong comic books.“Sometimes a gorilla is just a gorilla.”
8. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the movie? ____.
A. The first movie called King Kong appeared 72 years ago
B. The lates King Kong movie is very popular in the US
C. The movie is not well received by American girls
D. The image of King Kong can be seen on many products
9. Ann Darrow is kidnapped because ____.
A. she is attractive B. she has been followed
C. moviemakers want to sacrifice her to King Kong D. she is needed in a movie
10. King Kong climbs the Empire State Building ____.
A. to look for Ann B. just for fun
C. to enjoy the sight of New York D. to capture the movie makers
11.What is Dave Dorman’s opinion about King Kong’s popularity? ____.
A. King Kong reflects American’ s feelings
B. The movie is only a made-up story
C. Americans doubt their future in an age of terror
D. He doesn’t believe the story at all

A recent experiment held in Japan shows that it is almost impossible for people to walk exactly straight for 60 metres. Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology found 20 healthy men and asked them to walk as straight as possible to a target 60 metres away at normal speed. Each man had to walk on white paper fixed flat to the floor wearing wet colored socks. The footprints revealed that all walked in a winding rather than a straight line.Researchers found that people readjust the direction of walking every few seconds. The amount of tile winding differed from subject to subject. This suggests that none of us can walk in a strictly straight line. We walk in a winding way mainly because of a slight structural or functional imbalance of our limbs(四肢). Although we may start walking in a straight line, several steps afterwards we have changed direction.
Eyesight helps us to correct the direction of walking and leads us to the target. Your ears also help you walk. After turning around a lot with your eyes closing, you can hardly stand still, let alone walk straight. It’s all because your ears help you balance. Inside your inner ear there is a structure contains liquids. On the sides of the organ are many tiny hair-like structures that move around as the liquid flows. When you spin(旋转) the liquid inside also spins. The difference is that when you stop, the liquid continues to spin for a while. Dizziness(晕旋) is the result of these nerves in your ear. When you open your eyes, although your eyesight tells you to walk in a straight line, your brain will trust your ears more, thus you walk in a curved line.
12. The experiment held in Japan proved that ____.
A. all the participants have a good sense of direction
B. nine of the participants finished the 60 metres
C. the participants keep readjusting their direction of walking
D. the experiment was done in different ways
13. What helps to readjust our walking direction? ____.
A. Eyes B. Ears C. Limbs D. Footprints
14. We cannot walk exactly straight because ____.
A. our limbs have some difficulty in keeping balance
B. the shape of our body is not well funned
C. our left legs and right legs are not the same
D. we have no sense of direction while walking
15. The purpose of writing the article is to ____.
A. point out the importance of noticing everyday science
B. give background information about a latest study
C. prove that ears and eyes help us to walk straight
D. explain why we can hardly walk in a strictly straight line

Having finished her homework, Ma Li wants some music for relaxation. As usual, she starts her computer and goes to Baidu.com to download music files. But this time she is surprised when an announcement about protecting songs’ copyright bursts onto the screen. The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as Web companies like Baidu are accused of pirating (盗版) copyright. Lawsuits have been filed against four websites offering free downloads. In September 2005, a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push compensation for their losses. Baidu were also told to block the links to the pirated music on the website. This caused a heated discussion on Internet file sharing.
“Baidu’s defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying. Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines,” said an official.
Like many teens, Huang Ruoru, an 18-year-old girl from Puning in Guangdong Province, doesn’t think that getting music from websites is wrong. She always shares her favourite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends. When told about the lawsuit, she began to feel a little guilty about obtaining others’ work without paying.
However, other teenagers have different ideas. Wang Yafei, a Senior 2 girl from Jinan, Shandong Province pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers.“If I download a song and really like it, I will buy the CD,” she said. “So what the recording companies really should concentrate on is improving their music, rather than pursuing file-sharers.”
16. Which of the following best describes the passage? ____.
A. Music on the Internet is of better quality
B. Downloading material can be illegal
C. It’s good to get free music on the Internet
D. Baidu is a popular web company
17. The four web companies were put to court because ____.
A. they got copyrighted songs without paying
B. they downloaded copyrighted music for people
C. they make copyrighted files for free downloads
D. they offer free music on line
18. How do some of the teenagers feel while downloading free music after the lawsuit? ____.
A. A bit guilty B. A little sad C. Extremely angry D. Awfully sorry
19. What’s the advantage of file sharing for recording companies? ____.
A. Getting more money from web companies
B. Enabling people to download favorite songs
C. Helping to improve the music
D. Making pop singers more popular
20. It can be inferred from the text that ____.
A. web companies are still ignoring the copyright laws
B. teenagers haven’t got money to buy CDs
C. teenagers are probably still downloading free music
D. teenagers prefer CDs with copyright to pirated music

Although we may start walking in a straight line, several steps afterwards we have changed direction.
Eyesight helps us to correct the direction of walking and leads us to the target. Your ears also help you walk. After turning around a lot with your eyes closing, you can hardly stand still, let alone walk straight. It’s all because your ears help you balance. Inside your inner ear there is a structure contains liquids. On the sides of the organ are many tiny hair-like structures that move around as the liquid flows. When you spin(旋转) the liquid inside also spins. The difference is that when you stop, the liquid continues to spin for a while. Dizziness(晕旋) is the result of these nerves in your ear. When you open your eyes, although your eyesight tells you to walk in a straight line, your brain will trust your ears more, thus you walk in a curved line.

Having finished her homework, Ma Li wants some music for relaxation. As usual, she starts her computer and goes to Baidu.com to download music files. But this time she is surprised when an announcement about protecting songs’ copyright bursts onto the screen. The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as Web companies like Baidu are accused of pirating (盗版) copyright. Lawsuits have been filed against four websites offering free downloads. In September 2005, a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push compensation for their losses. Baidu were also told to block the links to the pirated music on the website. This caused a heated discussion on Internet file sharing.
“Baidu’s defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying. Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines,” said an official.
Like many teens, Huang Ruoru, an 18-year-old girl from Puning in Guangdong Province, doesn’t think that getting music from websites is wrong. She always shares her favourite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends. When told about the lawsuit, she began to feel a little guilty about obtaining others’ work without paying.
However, other teenagers have different ideas. Wang Yafei, a Senior 2 girl from Jinan, Shandong Province pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers.“If I download a song and really like it, I will buy the CD,” she said. “So what the recording companies really should concentrate on is improving their music, rather than pursuing file-sharers.”
