A fine piece of music, a masterpiece of painting, or a first-class play has the power to hold our fullest attention. We are completely lost in it, and everything works out right. The music comes to the right close at the right time and in the right way. The play ends, not necessarily on a happy note, but in a way that seems enjoyable. As we get to know more about painting, its parts seem to belong together and to be made for one another. We see harmony (和谐) in the object and feel harmony within ourselves.
When the beautiful experience has ended, we often feel uplifted and refreshed. Our eyes and ears, or our understanding of other persons and values, may be sharpened and improved. We may feel more at home with ourselves. Works of art have value for us in some such ways as these.
It is this value that marks the difference between great art and simple entertainment(娱乐). A work that is fairly easy to understand takes little effort on our part. It may give us pleasure, but it does not touch our feelings or attract out attention at a deep level.
What is the main idea of the text?
A.Music has a power to catch all our attention.
B.Art of high values can improve us as human beings.
C.It's difficult to express our satisfaction from works of art.
D.Simple entertainment is easy to understand and can give us pleasure.
第4题
Take a second long piece of paper. Twist the paper once and glue the ends together. Now you have made a Mobius band(带子). For people studying maths, this band is uncommon.
This strange band was first made in the 1800s by a German man namedAugust. Mobius. Mr. Mobius studied maths. He wanted to find a way to show how this band works with maths. Understand it or not, this band has only one surface. You can find this out for yourself.
If you draw a line on the surface of the paper before you twist and glue it, the line is only on one side of the paper. The paper has two surfaces. However, if you draw a line after you make the Mobius band, you can follow the line around all sides of the paper. In other words, the Mobius band must have only one surface.
It is also very interesting to see what happens when you cut the band. If you cut the Mobius band in half once down the line you drew, you do not get two Mobius bands. Instead, after you cut the band, it turns into one large twisted ring. Then, if you cut this ring in half along the middle of the band again, you get two connected(相连的)Mobius bands.
1、What is a Mobius band?()
A、A long piece of paper
B、A paper ring for people to wear
C、A metal ring for music
D、An interesting twisted ring
2、Why didAugust Mobius make this ring?()
A、To help study a maths problem
B、To show it's the same as others
C、To show the only surface of any band
D、To find out how many sides it has
3、How can you change the two surfaces of a long piece of paper into one surface?()
A、Glue the ends of the long piece of paper
B、Cut the two surfaces of the paper into one
C、Draw a line in the middle of the paper
D、Twist the paper once and glue the two ends
4、What do you get if you cut the Mobius band along the middle?()
A、A long piece of paper
B、Two long pieces of paper
C、Two Mobius bands
D、One large twisted ring
5、Which of the following is NOT true?()
A、You can use any long piece of paper to make a Mobius band
B、Any long piece of paper has two surfaces
C、The Mobius band was first made about two hundred years ago

Like Muir, those of us who stand along the rim are prompted to wonder about the unearthliness and the forces that created and are still changing this place.
After more than 100 years of studies, many things are still obscure. Today visitors come by the thousands-the great and simple of the earth-all in a spirit of marvel. Travellers come from every state of the Union, from every country in Europe and Asia, pilgrims to a shrine that is the same as the creed. '
From the depths of the canyon comes welling silence. Seldom can you hear the rear of the river. You cannot catch the patter. Like applause, from the leaves of the cottonwoods on the shelflike plateau below you. For all sounds are swallowed in this gulf of space. "It makes one want to murmur. "A woman once whispered to her companion. This silence is not the silence of death; rather, it is a presence. It is like a great piece of music. But music made of man works up to a climax and ceases; the Grand Canyon is all climax, a chord echoing into eternity.
Perhaps the most spectacular feature of the Grand Canyon, its Redwall limestone cliff, stands about half way up the chasm and is practically vertical. Its average height is 550 feet—almost exactly that of the Washington Monument. Though it is actually gray-blue limestone, the surface of the cliff has been stained to a sunset hue by iron salts washing out of the rocks. Above the Redwall come alternating layers of red sandstone and shale 1,000 feet thick, then comes the next pale-blue layer. The topmost layers are a yellowish limestone.
Now, visitors to the South Rim alone may number 18, 000 in a single day. Some of that number will travel by mule train down Bright Angel Trail to the canyon's floor, cross the raging river by a suspension bridge and amount to the North Rim.
Though the two rims face each other across only 12 miles, it is a journey of 214 miles by car from one to the other. Nor can you visit the North Rim except in summer; some 1,200 feet higher than the South Rim ,'it is snow covered much of the year except in July and August.
But there is no day that you may not visit the South Rim and find the sun warm on your face and the air perfumed with the incense of smoke from an Indian hearth. The Grand Canyon is an unearthly sight. No wonder an American writer and journalist said, "I came here an atheist, and departed a devout believer."
The author described the Grand Canyon as ______.
A.beautiful
B.roaring
C.unearthly
D.devout

Harbor invites comparison to Titanic, the biggest hit of ail time. Like Titanic, Harbor heaps romance and action around a major historical event. Like Titanic, Harbor attempts to create popular global entertainment from a deadly real life. Like Titanic, Harbor costs a pretty penny and hopes to get in even more at the box office. Both Titanic and Pearl Harbor unseal their tales of love and tragedy over more than three hours. Both stories center on young passion, triangles of tension with one woman and two men: In Titanic, Leonardo DiCaprio and Billy Zane compete for the love of the same woman, a high society type played by a British actress named Kate (Winslet). In Harbor, two pilots (Ben Affelck, Josh Hartnett) fall for the same woman, a nurse played by a British actress named Kate (Beckinsale).
The scenes of peril also have similarities. Harbor has a shot in which soldiers cling for dear life as the battleship USS Oklahoma capsizes. The moment is recalled of the Titanic's climactic sinking scene in which DiCaprio and Winslet hang from the ocean liner as half of the ship vertically plunges into the water. In Harbor, one of its stars floats atop a piece of debris in the middle of the night, much like Winslet's character does in Titanic. And the jaw dropping action of Titanic is matched by Harbor's 40 minute recreation of Dec. 7,1941 attack on the United States' Pacific Fleet. Both films spent heavily on special effects. Harbor director, Michael Bay, for example, says.he kept salaries down so more could be spent on the visuals. Both movies shot their ship sinking scenes at the same location: Fox Studios Baja in Mexico. Harbor's makers have even taken a Titanic-like approach to the soundtrack. The film includes one song, There You'll Be, performed by country music superstar Faith Hill. Titanic, which is one of the best selling soundtracks of all time, also had only one pop song: Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On.
"If Harbor becomes a major moneymaker, filmmakers may comb history books searching for even more historical romance action material," says a critic.
What are the two things that the author of this article tries 'to compare?
A.The attack on Pearl Harbor and the sinking of the Titanic.
B.Historical fiction movies and successful box office hits.
C.The movie Titanic and the on-show-movie Pearl Harbor.
D.Sinking boats and famous actors.
