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-bye 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.
第2页（共10页）
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.
24. 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.
25. 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.
26. 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.
27. 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 years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone
第3页（共10页）
National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park.
By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of
the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human
development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone
area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer
humans around.
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk
populations — major food sources (来源) for the wolf — grew rapidly. These animals
consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the
park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes
killed a large percentage of the park’s red foxes, and completely drove away the
park’s beavers.
As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing
wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk
and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves
would kill their farm animals or pets.
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the
wolvers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf
packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is
fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers
and red fores have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a
valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other
parts of the country as well.
28. What is the text mainly about?
A. Wildlife research in the United States.
B. Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.
C. The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.
D. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.
29. What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 2 mean?
第4页（共10页）
A. Tested.
B. Separated.
C. Forced out.
D. Tracked down.
30. What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about？
A. Damage to local ecology. B. A decline in the park’s income.
C. Preservation of vegetation. D. An increase in the variety of animals.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project？
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Disapproving. D. Uncaring.
D
The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car
into a mobile laboratory named “Drive LAB” in order to understand the challenges
faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.
Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in
health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated
(隔绝) and inactive.
Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle
technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving
into later life.
These include custom-made navigation (导航) tools, night vision systems and
intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people,
particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving
their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to
rely on others.”
“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this
often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and
losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before
they really need to.”
Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, “The
Drive LAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for
older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.
“For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than
第5页（共10页）
everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep
at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of
getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a
way of preventing that.
“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions (解决方案) to
ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”
32. What is the purpose of the Drive LAB?
A. To explore newmeans of transport. B. To design new types of cars.
C. To find out older driver’s problems. D. To teach people traffic rules.
33. Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?
A. It keeps them independent. B. It helps them save time.
C. It builds up their strength. D. It cures their mental illnesses.
34. What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?
A. Improve their driving skills. B. Develop driver-assist technologles.
C. Provide tips on repairing their cars. D. Organize regular physical checkups.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. A new Model Electric Car B. A Solution to Traffic Problem
C. Driving Service for elders D. Keeping Older Drivers on the Road

Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning and put the blame on the
alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock
36 Here is how to make one.
● 37 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do
you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or
just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reason, tell your
family or roommates about the change you want to make.
Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-

arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your
family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 38
That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a
timer.
Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night,
sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating on the weekends
actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 39
Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down
how you feel. After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record.
40 If not, take another look at other methods you could try.
A. Get a sleep specialist.
B. Find the right motivation.
C. A better plan for sleep can help.
D. And consider setting a second alarm.
E. If the steps you take are working, keep it up.
F. Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day.
G. Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the café to get coffee.
