Ⅱ.阅读理解(8 min.)Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren't in film schools yet and aren't, strictly speaking, even adults?
They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Films Festival, tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy: Lincoln Center. Complete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18.
揥hat's really exciting is that it's film for k ids by kids，” said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. “We want to make this a national event，” Ms. Gardner added.
The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B．B. King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005. “A lot of the material is really mature，” Ms. Gardner said, talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadershiptraining group. “The Choice is about the history of a family and Master AntiSmoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke.” Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants' feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.
The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and fulllength film whose title is Pressures.

Ⅲ.阅读填空(10 min.)Many animal lovers would like to do more to help animals, but aren't sure where to start or feel like they just don't have the time. The good news is that there are many simple things you can do to help protect animals.
Think twice before you decide.
The decisions you make when it comes to eating meat or other animal products can go a long way toward stopping the killing of animals. Consider eating a vegetarian(素食的)diet. If you aren't ready to make this change, ord out
Getting the word out about the problems faced by animals can be as easy as putting up a notice on your car. Also, talk to your friends and family members about important issues that are related to animals. Give some simple advice to a friend with a new pet about the serious pet overpopulation problem we're facing. Turn to some books on the subject if you are not so clear about the advice you give your friend.
Write a letter
We've all heard the saying, 揟he pen is more powerfpul than the sword.” Put this idea to the protection of animals. If a company has practices or rules that are harmful to animals, write them a letter to let them know you are angry about them, and that you won't buy their products until they make some changes. Write letters to state and local legislators(立法者) to let them know how important it is that they support legislation that protects animals. Make them know that their actions will have a great effect on your vote.
Be more loving
If you're considering adding a dog or a cat to your family, think about getting one from a homeless璦nimal house rather than buying a pet. There are many wonderful animals just waiting for a home. By taking back an animal from there, you will be helping in the fight against pet overpopulation, as well as giving your money to those who are responsible for taking care of pitiful animals.
Let your actions be an example to others
It may sound simple, but one of the best ways to help animals is to let your actions speak to the world. You should do the following things first by yourself: Treat all living creatures with respect. Care about your pets and look after them well. Avoid entertainment places that use animals to perform. Support legislation that protects animals. All of these things set an example for others to follow.

Ⅳ.One possible version:
As everyone knows, it is very useful and interesting for us to read books. By reading books, we can learn what is going on both at home and abroad. We can also know what has happened or will happen in the past years and in the future. Some useful and helpful books often open our minds and give us new ideas. We understand how to live a happy life and learn newer and better ways of doing things through books.
Just as someone puts it, “A good book is just like a good friend.” There is also a proverb which says, “Live and learn！” Books help us to enrich our knowledge, and knowledge changes our life!
Therefore, it is very important for us to read books in our life.
强调
1. C 句意为：她一再表示，该电影不是某些观众所熟悉的商业化的电影。此处不用被动语态，也没有一个过去的基点，因此不用过去完成时。does admit用于表示一般现在时，主语是第三人称单数时对动词admit的强调。
2. A 句意为：她谈到正是一种努力学习和工作的意愿帮助她获得了成功。这是一个强调句，被强调的是名词a willingness。不要被句首的she says所迷惑。
3. B 句意为：在三宝努力创作《蝴蝶》的音乐时，《三毛流浪记》的形象出现在他大脑中。第一空是被强调的时间状语从句；第二空是强调句。
4. B 句意为：不管注没注意到，中国人主要的特点不是诚实而是自信。
5. C 考查对动词的强调。句意为：如果昨天真的有人欺侮过你，你就应该告诉老师而不是仅仅大声号叫。
6. D 句意：重要的是知识而不是大小。
7. C 句意为：21岁的布朗一年中有一半的时间在社区服务。这实际上是一个强调句。原句为：Brown, 21, spent six months a year performing community service.
8. A 根据答语可知用how，而特殊疑问句是“wh词＋一般疑问句？”
9. B 句意为：使我们感到满足的不是帮助了处于困境中的某个人，而是与他们相处所带来的快乐。这是一个强调句，被强调的部分有not…but…连接。
10. B 句意为：有时候我觉得自己要哭了。另外的时候，又是老师快要崩溃了。第一空是介词后的宾语从句，第二空是强调句，被强调的是人。
11. A 句意为：是Cecilia的父亲决定她应该参加野营活动以便能更加独立。第一空是强调句，被强调的是her father，在原句中作主语；第二空是动词decided后的宾语从句。
12. C 句意为：重度残疾的孩子的家长对孩子们的未来确实不怎么看好。此题考查对谓语动词的强调，常在其前加did, do, does。根据主语parents可知答案。
13. C 句意为：如果你认为自己不行，你就真的不行了。这是你自己剥夺了自己的能力和幸福。这是一个强调句，强调的是主语you。
14. A 填对此句的关键是要弄清第二空必须填 that，因为这是一个强调句，被强调部分为 in the small house (以及修饰它的定语从句 which was built with stones by his father)。
15. D 此题为一个强调句型，空格处应填 that (即选D)，被强调成分为 what he meant rather than what he said。句意为“让我生气的不是他说的话，而是他话中的意思”。
16. C 句意：——上周的交通事故到底发生在哪里？——就在超市的前面。该题为强调句的特殊疑问句， 特殊疑问词放在最前面， 接着是be it that的形式； 如果其充当宾语从句时，特殊疑问词后面应该是it be that的形式。
17. A 句意：——你能谈谈你这次考试不及格的原因吗？——我无话可说， 但我的确努力了。此题考查对动词的强调， 一般在动词前加did(一般过去时)，do(一般现在时非第三人称单数主语)，does(一般现在时第三人称单数主语), 再加动词原形；此题的“努力”很显然是过去的动作，故选A。
18. A 句意：老师在课堂上说的话使得所有学生不高兴。考查强调句，what the teacher said in class为主语从句，放在被强调成分的位置。
19. C 句意：是做这项工作的能力使得你被提升而不是你的出身。考查强调句，the ability to do the work 放在被强调成分的位置。
20. D 句意：直到他离我只有几步，我才意识到他是我的老朋友。考查until从句放在被强调成分的位置。当强调until结构时，要把主句中not一同移到被强调的位置。
21. D 句意：那个男孩子带着很大的勇气讲出了他偷了钱是实情。第一个that是强调句，第二个 that引导同位语从句。
22. C 句意：我现在就在我妈妈工作过的地方工作。考查强调句。
23. A 句意：——你到底怎样找到丢掉的手机的？——纯属偶然。根据答语Just by accident.可知上面的问句是问方式的，要用how。再根据was it和选项可知与强调句有关。
24. D 句意：——玛丽的父母是在哪里买的这个花瓶？——是在他们去年度假的那个村庄里。初步看到第二句的it was，很多同学会误以为是强调句，后面应该用that。不错，这是一个强调句，但是that后面的部分被省略了。我们把其补充完整就是It was in the same village where they spent their holiday last year that Mary's parents bought the beautiful vase. 可见前面是一个地点定语从句。
25. B 句子虽然比较长，但是其主干为强调句型，是对“80 years before Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic”进行了强调，由此可知，空白处应该填写“that”。因此，正确答案为B选项。
