(2017·江西省两所名校高三年级联合考试)
Could you change your life in just 30 days?That’s the question
documentary maker Morgan Spurlock asked when he filmed his new
Channel 4 TV series,30 Days.Martin Grady reviews the first
programme of the series,30 days on the Minimum Wage.(The minimum wage in the US today is $5.15 per hour.)
Spurlock,who is most famous for Super Size Me,his film
about the dangers of eating junk food,became frustrated that
few people know about poverty in America.He and Alex
decided to film an experiment—they’d give up their jobs for a
month and try to live on the minimum wage.The resulting documentary,which was filmed realityshowstyle using a handheld camera,contains a powerful,social message about the growing gap between the rich and the poor in the USA.
The couple travel to Columbus,Ohio,one of the poorest cities in the USA.The only apartment that they can afford to rent is filthy,in a dangerous area,and has no heating or furniture.Alex begins working as a dishwasher,whilst Morgan does building work with no safety equipment.Neither of them earns more than the minimum wage.
It’s difficult to watch Morgan and Alex struggling in such terrible conditions.A charity gives them furniture for free,but they have to live without heating,TV and telephone.They’re exhausted and freezing all the time and begin to argue about money.The couple interview people in the same situation and listen to their stories.It’s difficult to imagine,but these people have lived on minimum wage for decades and many have children.
When Alex becomes ill and Morgan badly injures his wrist,they go to a free clinic for the poor,but can’t see a doctor because of long queues.People there say that without free
medical care they’d die.
After thirty days,the experiment has failed.They have spent over $1,000 more than they have earned.The couple are shocked—they can go back to their comfortable life in New York,but what if they wouldn’t?How would they continue to survive?
1.What was Spurlock’s response to the fact that poverty in America is little known to Americans?
A.Content.B.Interested.
C.Indifferent.D.Unsatisfied.
2.According to the passage,the relationship between Alex and Spurlock is________.
A.husband and wife B.just friends
C.just colleagues D.boss and secretary
3.The documentary was filmed with a handheld camera to________.
A.make the film more convincing
B.save the cost of making films
C.cut the cost of their living
D.indicate their living room was so small
4.The film reflects the phenomenon that________.
A.all Americans are healthy
B.all Americans are struggling in terrible conditions
C.few Americans still live on the minimum wage
D.the poor have great difficulty making ends meet
5.Which of the following about Alex and Spurlock is not true?
A.They live without heating and telephone.
B.They take on different jobs.
C.They interview poor people.
D.It is easy for them to see a doctor.
B
(2017·临沂市高考模拟)
James lives in Hawaii and his mother lives in Korea.James speaks English (he never learned Korean),and his mom only speaks Korean.They communicate perfectly.
Eric is from Honduras,but he lives in the US.Eric just started learning English and speaks very little.But,everyday Eric reads the latest local US news on the Web,with no problem.
What these people (and close to 60 million others around the world) share is a remarkable,free software program called Babylon.
Babylon may well be the most advanced translation software in the world,and it’s a musthave for anyone whose life goes beyond the borders of their own language or those who want it to.
Once you download it,you can simply highlight (选中) the part in practically any format,and it’s instantly translated into the language of your choice.You can use it to translate a website,email,word doc,pdf,and actually any document in any format you can think of.
You can write a document in your native language,and Babylon will instantly translate it into another before you send it.
The program translates 75 languages,including Spanish,Chinese,Arabic,Indian,and Russian.It also includes uptodate encyclopedias (百科全书),dictionaries,and spell checkers.
Babylon is a long way from early translation software that would,more often than not,make an unreadable text with grammar errors that was better suited for making laughs than comprehension.Babylon’s ability to understand and translate is perfect.In fact,businesses are adopting Babylon as the standard when it comes to translating commercial communications and other important documents.
Babylon is also a great tool for people who are learning another language.Use it anytime you come across a word or passage you don’t understand.
What users enjoy most is the program’s ability to open up a different world to them.Whether it’s surfing a news site in a different country,or being able to properly communicate with a family member or friend overseas,Babylon can make it happen.
Best of all,Babylon is free!To get your free copy,visit Babylon.com.
6.Why does the writer mention James and Eric at the beginning of the passage?
