A
We’re always looking for well-written reviews of books, music, movies, television shows,
websites, video games and other products. When writing a review, concentrate on exactly what you
liked or didn’t like. Give examples of strengths and weaknesses, be descriptive and provide
background information on an author, director, actor or musician, if possible. Find professional
reviews in magazines or newspapers and see how reviewers deal with their topic, but be sure to
express your own voice in your review.
Grammar Hint for Reviews: When describing a book, movie, album or anything else, use the
present tense.
Book Reviews
Discuss an author’s technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot. Does
the story flow? Is there a strong sense of character and place? Did you stay up until dawn to finish it?
Is it good reading for teenagers? What influence did it have on you and why? If you’ve read other
books by the same author, discuss how this book compares.
Movie Reviews
Think of the major Oscar categories and consider the performances, music, lighting and setting,
etc. Do these work together? Did some hold up while others didn’t? If the movie is based on a book,
discuss whether one is better than the other and why. If the movie is a remake, compare the film to
its original.
Remember that a well-written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses. Some readers
may not have seen a movie yet, so don’t give away an exciting scene or the ending!
College Reviews
Begin by providing an overview of the college, including location, size and a description of the
campus and/or dorm life. Think about all aspects of your college visit. What academic, athletic and
after-class programs are available? What are the students like? What makes the college different
from others? Every school has strengths and weaknesses. Be objective. Consider what the school has
to offer and who might enjoy or benefit the most from attending there.
1.When writing a review, you ________.
A. cannot refer to any previous review B. must express your own views and opinions C. must provide some information about the author D. needn’t give any examples to support your
views
2. Which aspects should be included in all three reviews?
A. Strengths and weaknesses. B. Plot and character.
C. Programs and scenes. D. Location and description.
3. Where can you probably find the passage?
A. In a personal diary. B. In an official report.
C. In a tourist guidebook. D. In a popular magazine.
B
Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy
sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in
the theater’s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of
workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in
preparation for the building’s end.
The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the
movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say
good-be to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed
appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close
down.
Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete.
He added that the theater’s location (位置) was also a reason. “This used to be the center of town,”
he said. “Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.”
Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into
a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial
problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a
shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.
The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years
the Plaza Theater has shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.
4.In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special?
A. It made room for new equipment. B. It signaled the closedown of the theater.
C. It was done with the help of the audience. D. It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.5.Why was The Last Picture Show put on?
A. It was an all-time classic. B. It was about the history of the town.
C. The audience requested it. D. The theater owner found it suitable.
6.What will probably happen to the building?
A. It will be repaired. B. It will be turned into a museum.
C. It will be knocked down. D. It will be sold to the city government.
7.What can we infer about the audience?
A. They are disappointed with Bradford. B. They are sad to part with the old theater.
C. They are supportive of the city officials. D. They are eager to have a shopping center.
C
After the examination, the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would
lose my sight finally. On the way home from hospital, no one said a word. One day, would I only
imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?
That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armful
of books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task. With my
nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily. What’s worse, after I had read several
pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools.
However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. Instead,
Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked part-time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent
time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on
her reading glasses. Mom always thought those glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a
teacher.
In my room, Mom’s voice raced with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on
listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher
asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory.
Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other people’s
challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind
lit up with every new book. True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now
allows me to “see”. This was the most precious gift from a mother to her child.
8.Why did the author and his parents keep silent on their way back home from hospital?
A. They all wanted to have a good rest. B. The author didn’t do well in the exam.
C. What the doctor said made them worried. D. They focused on the scenery along the
road.
9. How did the author manage to get high marks?
A. By being confident. B. By listening carefully.
C. By getting help from his classmates. D. By reading as many books as possible.
10.We can learn from the text that ____________.
A. the author’s sight recovered finally B. reading made the author more sensitive
C. the author’s mother didn’t work to look after him D. reading made the author not worry about his
sight
11.Which of the following could be the best title of the text?
A. My eyesight trouble B. An unforgettable experience
C. With ears wide open D. About Mother’s love
D
Scientists, psychologists and English academics at Liverpool University have found that
reading the works of the classical writers like Shakespeare and Wordsworth has a great effect on the
mind, catches the reader’s attention and triggers moments of self-examination.
Using a special machine, they monitored the brain activity of 30 volunteers as they read
works by William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, T.S. Eliot and others.
In the first part of the research, the brain activity of 30 volunteers was monitored as they read
passages from Shakespeare’s plays, including King Lear, Othello, Coriolanus and Macbeth, and
again as they read the text rewritten in a simpler form or modern language.
While reading the common texts, normal levels of electrical activity were shown in their brains.
When they read the works of Shakespeare, however, the levels of activity jumped because of his use
of words which were unfamiliar to them. The result of the test showed that the more challenging
passages cause a greater degree of electrical activity in the brain than the common ones. Scientists went on to study the brain activity as it responded to each word and recorded how it lit
up as the readers came across unusual words, surprising phrases or difficult sentences in the classical
works. As a result, this lightening up process of the mind lasted longer than that when volunteers
read common texts, encouraging further reading.
The research also found that reading poetry especially increases activity in the right
hemisphere(半球) of the brain, an area connected with “autobiographical memory”, driving the
readers to think carefully about their own experiences based on what they have read. The academics
said this meant the classical works of literature are more useful than self-help books.
Philip Davis, an English professor who has worked on the study in the university’s magnetic
resonance center, announced this week: “Classical literature acts like a rocket-booster to the brain,
which provides extra power for the brain. You may never imagine how powerful it is. The research
shows such kind of literature can create new thoughts and connections in the young and the old.”
12.The underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “______”.
A. depends on B. picks up C. sets off D. changes into
13.Which of the following is NOT true about reading classical literature?
A. It makes readers’ brain more active than reading common texts.
B. It makes readers’ electrical activity of brain return to normal.
C. It’s helpful for readers to come up with new ideas.
D. It’s an activity that is suitable for people of all ages.
14.From the research, we can learn that ______.
A. the readers prefer Shakespeare’s works to the other writers’ works
B .the words of classical works make it hard for volunteers to read further
C. reading classical works produces a good and long-lasting effect on the mind
D. poetry increases left-brain activity more than other literary forms
15.What does the author mainly tell us in this passage?
A. Shakespeare’s plays deserve to be read. B. Common books are unpopular anymore.
C. Poetry is best for developing people’s brain. D. Classical works help the brain develop
better.

Dear Peter,
I'm writing to share a piece of good news with you.

starts from July 11th and ends on July 20th, lasting ten days. Some famous artists will offer basic
courses on this national treasure. including singing, dialogues, movements as well as facial make-up.
What they want to communicate through the courses is that Peking Opera is not just an art, but a
symbol of traditional Chinese culture which deserves to be passed down from generation to
generation.
Since you're always keen on Peking Opera, I sincerely hope you’ll take this chance. Join the camp
and have a good time there!
