10.______ not to miss the train at 11:00,the college student hurried to the train station.
A.Reminded
B.Reminding
C.To remind
D.Having reminded
解析:考查非谓语动词。remind与主句的主语之间存在着动宾关系,即remind sb.to do sth.“提醒某人干某事”,所以,此处选用过去分词表示被动关系。D项是主动形式,应该用被动结构having been reminded才行。句意:被提醒别晚了11点的火车后,那个大学生匆匆赶往火车站。
答案:A
11.Could you tell me when the important meeting about developing economy ______?

D.holds
解析:考查动词的时态。选项在when引导的宾语从句中作谓语动词,hold与meeting之间是被动关系,并且,会议在将来召开,因此选用将来时的被动语态。不要错选A项,因为when只有在引导时间状语从句时,才用一般现在时表示将来。
答案:B

答案:A
14.That is a play ______from a story written by Qiong Yao.

答案:C
15.—What did the manager want to know?
—He wondered ______ we could complete the project.
A.when was it

The educational film Shop Til You Drop:The Crisis of Consumerism is a look into the machinery of American consumerism and advertising.Though there seems to be no end in sight to our appetite for overconsumption,it documents an end to the capacity of our planet,with its limited resources to support that appetite.To set the stage,we hear a recitation by Juliet Shor,author of Born to Buy—all the objects in a typical middle class home.
The first half of the film focuses on the psychological effects of consumerism:how the media and advertisers direct us and how their techniques control our desires,making us believe that we need much more than we actually do.
If you play soft music to cows,they give more milk.If you play music to shoppers,they buy more stuff.The many talking heads in the film—professors,authors, mental health professionals,and leaders of the Voluntary Simplicity movement—suggest that we need to step out of it and learn to make choices for ourselves.
Once upon a time,we consumed noticeably (明显地)because we wanted our neighbors to see what we had;the paradigm was local social comparison.Today,the reference frame has expanded.It has moved from the neighborhood of the people on your block to the national“neighborhood”of televised affluence(富裕).There’s rising anxiety in our culture as people continuously compete to live like the wealthy.
The second half of the film swings to a more ecological perspective,straightforwardly pointing out the issue of how the consumerist drive of developed nations is using up or harming—even destroying—our most precious resources.In the process,we may well be sowing the seeds of our own destruction.
Shop Til You Drop is more than a useful tool for the overshopper;it’s a muchneeded wakeup call for all of us.The film encourages us to see that the habit of“keeping up with the Joneses”—whether they live next door or in the fantasy world of television and other media—misuses our lives and our planet.It offers us some perspective and invites us to step back and reassess our values and goals.
本文是关于一部以限制超前消费为题材的电影的评论。
5.The second half of the film is about______.
A.why we buy more than we need
