19、d of conflict.Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease _32_and force students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships. An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher _33_success throughout their

20、college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure.In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye the only black student on his freshman year floor -said that “if youre surrounded by whites, you have something to prove. Researchers also observed problems resulting from _34_interraci

21、al students in residences.According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so_35_that one roommate will move out. An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to n

Reading ComprehensionSection AWhile awareness and mastery of skills are important steps in any l

26、earning process, it is only when conscious skills are put to work that you will experience the involvement and excitement that accompany personal growth. The _41_ mimicking 模擬sounds, the youngster practicing to ride his bicycle, the teenager learning to drive, the adult preparing to buy a house-all

27、experience a good deal of anticipation 希望, but the anticipation pales next to the_42_of first communicating verbally or riding a bicycle solo or taking that first drive or moving into that first home._43_, social interaction is the highest degree of personal involvement, the logical peak experience

28、towards what awareness and mastery lead.More than any other experience it is social interaction by which a person _44_, expands, and develops his own personality._45_, the more involved you are, the more experiences you have, the greater will be the actualization of your personality. If, _46_, you a

29、re an active person in your community, your personality will express this activity by its positive and _47_nature. If, on the other hand, you are passive, merely allowing yourself to be_48_without any involvement in the day-to-day activities of your community, you risk boredom and dullness. Much has

30、 been written about the “mass man and about the_49_of the average citizen to affect his own destiny. Involved persons are not mass men or _50_ citizens. / Involvement in your community means developing your community and yourself by direct and_51_social interaction. Since this interaction could invo

31、lve you in any and all of the functions of your community, we suggest here that you select for your involvement activities which are most_52_to you. You might consider your future career plans, hobbies, or educational interests as _53_ for your decision. For once you begin to be involved in your com

32、munity and once you experience your own _54_ in self-awareness through community awareness, you may very well find social interaction a life-time project, _55_where your community may be or how it may change.41.

Although that is now changing, many women still feel angry enough to deface offending advertisements with st

36、ickers protesting, “This ad degrades women. Why does this sort of advertising exist? How can advertisers and ad agencies still produce, sometimes, after months of research, advertising that offends the consumer? The Advertising Standards Authority, the body which deals with complaints about print me

37、dia, is carrying out research into how women feel about the way they are pictured in advertisements. Its conclusions are likely to be what the advertising industry already knows: although women are often annoyed by the ads, few feel strongly enough to complain. Women are not the only victims of poor

38、 and boring stereotypes in many TV commercials men are seen either as useless, childish fools who are unable to perform the simplest household tasks, or as inconsiderate fellows, always on the lookout for an escape to the pub. But it is women who seem to suffer more from the industrys apparent inabi

39、lity to put people into an authentic present-day situation. Yet according to Emma Bennett, director of a London advertising agency, women are not aggressive or extremely angry about those stereotypes and sexist advertising. “They just find it annoying or tiresome. They reluctantly accept outdated st

40、ereotypes, but have a sigh of relief when an advertisement really gets it right. She says that it is not advertisings use of the housewife role that bothers women, but the way in which it is handled. “The most important thing is the advertisements tone of voice. Women hate being insincerely praised

41、or given desperately down-to-earth common-sense advice. In the end, the responsibility for good advertising must be shared between the advertiser, the advertising agency and the consumer. Advertising does not set trends but it reflects them. It is up to the consumer to tell advertisers where they fa

42、il, and the process of change will remain slow until people on the receiving end take the business seriously and make their feelings known.56.Despite recent changes in attitudes, some advertisements still fail to _.A. change womens opinions of themselvesB. show any understanding of consumers feeling

43、sC. persuade the public to buy certain productsD. meet the needs of the advertising industry57.The advertisers dont give up presenting misleading image of women in ads mainly because _.A. consumers seldom make complaints about itB. they are ignorant about consumers feelingsC. They arent afraid of be

44、ing complained aboutD. consumers dont take the advertisements seriously58.According to the author, the most crucial factor in the improvement of the advertisements is _.A. the industryB. the advertisersC. the productsD. the consumers BIt's finally over. We mean both the Oscar telecast, which ran

45、 as long as Gone With the Wind though with fewer important roles for African Americans, and the three-month death march of critics' citations, guild行業(yè) awards and expert opinions on who'd win. In case you nodded off, Birdman took Best Picture and Director, and the acting prizes went to Eddie

46、Redmayne for The Theory of Everything, Julianne Moore for Still Alice, J.K. Simmons for Whiplash and Patricia Arquette for Boyhood - four folks whom most people know from the speeches they gave, not the movies they were in.This year, the only big hit among the eight Best Picture finalists was Americ

47、an Sniper. The other seven were art-house films. You see, there is Hollywood, which makes movies the whole world watches, and there is off-Hollywood, which hatches the films that get Oscars. Somebody has to ask: Why does Hollywood hate what it does for a living? It can't be as simple as "fi

48、lms" are great and "movies" are rubbish. On the Rotten Tomatoes website, which shows the reviews of dozens of critics, Birdman pulled a 93 rating out of 100 and The Imitation Game an 89. But some popular hits also scored with the critics: 91 for Guardians of the Galaxy, 89 for Captain

49、 America: The Winter Soldier, 88 for Gone Girl and a dramatic 96 for The Lego Movie. Audiences liked these four films too, paying more than $1 billion to see them in North American theaters plus another $1.3 billion abroad.So why weren't at least a couple of these films nominated提名 for Best Pict

50、ure? Maybe simply because they were popular. They got their awards as cash prizes, not Oscar statuettes. The Oscar winners have become a category of little films about big diseases. Another disconnect between Oscar voters and moviegoers: ages. The average age of the 6,700 Academy members is about 60

51、, and they see most of the nominated films on screeners at home. Basically, they want movies to be television: educating, intimate親密的 dramas. The stories they respond to are not of youngsters on grand quests - the action-film - but of unsung heroes battling weakness and approaching death.The very fi

52、rst Oscar party, in 1929, had two Best Picture categories: one for "outstanding picture" William Wellman's spectacle Wings, the other for "unique and artistic picture" F.YV Murnau's masterpiece Sunrise. Maybe the Academy, obsessed with indie 獨立制片的 artistry should return t

53、o the double award. Then Avatar could win along with The Hurt Locker, am Gravity with 12 Years a Slave. Next year, even the new Star Wars might have a shot. 59. It can be inferred from the last sentence of Paragraph l that _ .A. not many people saw the four filmsB. awards shouldn't be given to t

54、he four peopleC. the four actors and actresses made great speeches D. the four films won the awards as expected60. Why does the author mention these films in Paragraph 2?A. To introduce the great films that are worth watching.B. To explain why some films are given a higher score than others.C. To il

55、lustrate there are films welcomed by both viewers and critics.D. To highlight the importance of turning to critics' reviews when choosing films.61. Which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree with?A. Less emphasis should be given to moviegoers' opinions about films.B

56、. Oscar voters are unsung heroes fighting against weakness.C. Being popular may prevent a film winning Oscar awards.D. It is better to see a film in the cinema than at home.62. What suggestion does the author give about Oscar awards?A. Having more independent film makers nominated for awards.B. Sett

57、ing up an award for the films different from present winners.C. Improving the standard for outstanding films.D. Giving more chances to the greatest hits.CYou stare at waterfall for a minute or two, and then shift your gaze to its surroundings. What you now see appears to drift upward.These optical illusions occur because the brain is constantly matching its model of reality to signals from the bodys sensors and interpreting what must be happeningthat your brain must have moved, not the other; that downward
