Everyone has their favourite Bond songs with the 007 movies offering so many different musical outings over the years from classic rock and pop to soul and even dance. Let us know in the comments.
Golden Eye — Tina Turner
Golden Eye (1995)
Golden Eye sees a cat-like Turner wandering about throughout its sound stage, flashing her claws where necessary. Its sweeping arrangement and sentimental brass (感伤的铜管乐) contribute to a powerful vocal performance. The strings are mixed with horns that sound like a passing train. This is effortless singing from Turner and her amazing control is a joy to hear.
Tomorrow Never Dies — Sheryl Crow
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
This rock/pop little number has always felt rather clear to the listeners. It is a bit Bond-aping (邦德式模仿) rather than creating something new all by itself which is what it should ideally be aiming for. Crow gives it her all with her soft voice.
You Know My Name — Chris Cornell
Casino Royal (2006)
Right from the brilliantly exciting intro, the whole track just sounds so strong, as if it was chiseled (镌刻) out of the very finest stone. A lot of this is down to Chris Cornell’s powerful and deeply rich voice. One of the greatest singers of his generation, he absolutely nails this track.
Writing’s On The Wall — Sam Smith
Spectre (2015)
The title theme that most people can’t actually remember. By all accounts, Sam Smith’s Writing’s On The Wall was written very quickly, and frankly, it shows. Far from being a terrible song, it just lacks basically everything that a Bond theme needs. Sure, it certainly feels empty.
1. Who gives an impression of joy to hear through his/her voice
A. Tina Turner. B. Sheryl Crow.
C. Chris Cornell. D. Sam Smith.
2. How does the song Tomorrow Never Dies sound to the listeners
A. Sweet. B. Strong. C. Gentle. D. Terrible.
3. Which song lacks a Bond theme according to the author
A. Golden Eye.
B. Tomorrow Never Dies.
C. You Know My Name.
D. Writing’s On The Wall.
B
Today was my first day at senior high and it was hard. In high school, you have 4 minutes to get to your next class. My high school is very big and those 4 minutes to go from one class to another really isn’t a lot of time. Today I had to go from one end of the building to the other to get from science class to math class. I wanted to go to my locker first and leave my science book there, but that took time. I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, “Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention (放学后留校).”
After math, I went to art class. I like my art class a lot because I get to create things. The teacher there showed us how to make portraits (肖像). He explained, “A portrait is a way of communicating with a person. It does not just show how the person looks but what is important to understand the person.” We just did drawings today, but I know it’s going to be great. I like drawing.
I like my English class, too. I think the teacher is really supportive. Today we wrote about ourselves. The teacher said to just write what you think, and we’ll pay attention to punctuation (标点) later. We could write a paragraph or a poem, and I wrote a poem about myself. I thought it was a good poem, and the teacher said I had used good images (意象) to communicate my feelings.
Lunch was very hurried. I arrived at the dining room with 12 minutes to eat. I sat with people I didn’t know, and everyone was eating quickly. After lunch I signed up for a computer club. I need to learn how to use a computer well because my social studies teacher says it is the one skill you need in every class.
4. What happened to the author after science class
A. He lost his science textbook.
B. He got lost on the campus.
C. He was late for math class.
D. He was given detention.
5. What did the author think of his art class
A. Difficult. B. Enjoyable. C. Boring. D. Easy.
6. What did the English teacher do after seeing the author’s work
A. He praised the author.
B. He pointed out the author’s mistake.
C. He asked the author to check punctuation.
D. He encouraged the author to introduce himself.
7. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Learn useful skills in high school
B. My new teachers in high school
C. Make plans for high school life
D. My first day in high school
C
A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life. But no question, the experience can be hard to get over.
But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse (激发，唤醒) the desire (渴望) to connect with others.
Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (共情), and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from concentration on yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously accept the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense. For example, research from Cornell University, published in Psychological Science, found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, encourages people to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.
8. What can we learn from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4
A. Sad music can make people help others.
B. Sad music can make sad people feel better.
C. Sad music can make people believe in themselves.
D. Sad music can make people concentrate on themselves.
9. What does Churchill advise us to do when experiencing discomfort
A. Listen to a sad song. B. Avoid unwise actions.
C. Find support from others. D. Face the discomfort directly.
10. How does the author develop this text
A. By listing figures.
B. By giving directions.
C. By comparing examples.
D. By presenting research findings.
11. Which is the best title for the text
A. How to Find Pathways through Heartaches
B. How We React to A Broken Heart Matters a Lot
C. What We Can Do to Overcome Discomfort in Life
D. Why Listening to Sad Music Heals Your Broken Heart
D
People have different ways of dealing with waste paper, specifically used newspapers. Some put them in the recycling area, while others keep them as wrappers (包装纸). While these are both good measures, a Japanese publishing company had a better idea for their end use.
The Mainichi Newspapers Co., Ltd. invented the “Green Newspaper”, which allows people to grow plants with it. This unique newspaper was published on Greenery Day, which is focused on environmental news and made of green paper with seeds placed into it. What makes it even more special is the ink (油墨) used to print words and photos, which is made from plants. The publisher advises readers to tear the used newspaper into small pieces and plant them in a container with soil. They should water them, like they would do for any plant. Within a few weeks, the seeds will grow into plants.
This brilliant concept was invented by Dentsu Inc., one of Japan’s most famous advertising agencies, which works with the publishing company on the initiative (倡议). The publisher’s belief is environmental sustainability (持续性). As its mission statement says, “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily. Other such initiatives producing plantable paper are also seen in India and the US.
About 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year. The Internet, the number of whose users stands for 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has influenced how people read news and the print readership has dropped greatly. However, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper will bring about a change in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental influence.
12. What do we know about the “Green Newspaper”
A. It uses high-tech materials.
B. It provides energy for seeds.
C. It’s printed with plant-based ink.
D. It’s published to celebrate Greenery Day.
13. What message does the publisher’s mission statement convey
A. It’s easier said than done.
B. Everything comes to him who waits.
C. Many hands make light work.
D. Actions speak louder than words.
14. What’s the author’s attitude to the “Green Newspaper”
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive.
C. Indifferent. D. Negative.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. About 59 million trees are lost for producing newspapers.
B. The Internet has changed the way people read news totally.
C. The popularity of the Internet leads to the fall of the print readership.
D. The “Green Newspaper” will encourage more people to protect the environment.

A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life. But no question, the experience can be hard to get over.
But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse (激发，唤醒) the desire (渴望) to connect with others.
Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (共情), and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from concentration on yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously accept the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense. For example, research from Cornell University, published in Psychological Science, found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, encourages people to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.
8. What can we learn from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4
A. Sad music can make people help others.
B. Sad music can make sad people feel better.
C. Sad music can make people believe in themselves.
D. Sad music can make people concentrate on themselves.
9. What does Churchill advise us to do when experiencing discomfort
A. Listen to a sad song. B. Avoid unwise actions.
C. Find support from others. D. Face the discomfort directly.
10. How does the author develop this text
A. By listing figures.
B. By giving directions.
C. By comparing examples.
D. By presenting research findings.
11. Which is the best title for the text
A. How to Find Pathways through Heartaches
B. How We React to A Broken Heart Matters a Lot
C. What We Can Do to Overcome Discomfort in Life
D. Why Listening to Sad Music Heals Your Broken Heart

People have different ways of dealing with waste paper, specifically used newspapers. Some put them in the recycling area, while others keep them as wrappers (包装纸). While these are both good measures, a Japanese publishing company had a better idea for their end use.
The Mainichi Newspapers Co., Ltd. invented the “Green Newspaper”, which allows people to grow plants with it. This unique newspaper was published on Greenery Day, which is focused on environmental news and made of green paper with seeds placed into it. What makes it even more special is the ink (油墨) used to print words and photos, which is made from plants. The publisher advises readers to tear the used newspaper into small pieces and plant them in a container with soil. They should water them, like they would do for any plant. Within a few weeks, the seeds will grow into plants.
This brilliant concept was invented by Dentsu Inc., one of Japan’s most famous advertising agencies, which works with the publishing company on the initiative (倡议). The publisher’s belief is environmental sustainability (持续性). As its mission statement says, “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily. Other such initiatives producing plantable paper are also seen in India and the US.
About 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year. The Internet, the number of whose users stands for 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has influenced how people read news and the print readership has dropped greatly. However, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper will bring about a change in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental influence.
12. What do we know about the “Green Newspaper”
A. It uses high-tech materials.
B. It provides energy for seeds.
C. It’s printed with plant-based ink.
D. It’s published to celebrate Greenery Day.
13. What message does the publisher’s mission statement convey
A. It’s easier said than done.
B. Everything comes to him who waits.
C. Many hands make light work.
D. Actions speak louder than words.
14. What’s the author’s attitude to the “Green Newspaper”
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive.
C. Indifferent. D. Negative.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. About 59 million trees are lost for producing newspapers.
B. The Internet has changed the way people read news totally.
C. The popularity of the Internet leads to the fall of the print readership.
D. The “Green Newspaper” will encourage more people to protect the environment.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Never had Jason lost a debate. He was known as the best speaker in school, and he walked through the halls with confidence that sometimes felt like arrogance (傲慢). Teachers praised his skills, classmates admired him, and his opponents feared him. To him, winning was natural. And losing Impossible.
One afternoon, the school announced an upcoming interschool debate competition. As soon as Jason heard the news, a proud smile appeared on his face. “This will be easy,” he said. His teammates, though unsure, nodded. After all, wasn’t he always right
Jason wanted to prove how smart he was, so he decided to take full control. He wrote the main arguments, planned the strongest points, and saved the most important speaking parts for himself. His teammates He only gave them simple tasks. Why did he need their help when he could deal with everything himself As they prepared, one of his teammates David suggested a different idea. Jason didn’t look up. “No, this way is better,” he said. Nobody argued. Finally, the big day arrived. Jason walked onto the stage, standing tall. The other team sat across from them, looking focused and well-prepared. The debate began, and Jason spoke with his usual confidence. His opening argument was strong, and for a moment, everything was going exactly as he had expected. Then, the other team started their response.
Unlike Jason, they each took turns to speak. Their teamwork was perfect. Whenever Jason made an argument, they quickly pointed out the wrong in his reasoning. Jason tried to argue back, but they had evidence (证据) to question him. Panic washed over Jason. He glanced at his teammates for help, but they hesitated (犹豫). They had been left out of the preparation, so they weren’t ready to support him. As the debate continued, Jason realized he was losing control. His confidence disappeared, his arguments became weaker, and the other team only grew stronger. By the time the final round ended, he knew it was over.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
Then the result was announced.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Realizing his mistake, Jason came over to his teammates.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Then the result was announced. The opposing team was declared the winner. Applause erupted in the auditorium, but Jason heard none of it. He stood frozen, the cheers sounding distant and hollow. For the first time, the confident stride that usually carried him through the halls felt heavy. He walked off the stage, head lowered, the weight of defeat pressing down on him like never before. The hall, once a place he dominated, now felt strangely unfamiliar and cold.
Realizing his mistake, Jason came over to his teammates. He found David packing his bag alone. “David,” Jason began, his voice unsteady, “I… I was wrong. I should have listened to you. I shouldn’t have tried to do everything myself.” He looked at his other teammates who had joined them. “I apologize to all of you. I let my ego get in the way of our teamwork.” David looked surprised, then nodded slowly. “It’s okay, Jason,” David said. “Debating is a team sport. Next time, let’s plan together, listen to each other, and trust each other.” Jason managed a small, genuine smile, finally understanding that true strength came from unity, not solitary brilliance.
