21、   It’s commonly thought that “older” movies are in black and white and “newer ” movies are in color as if there is an obvious dividing line between the two. However, as with most developments in art and technology, there isn't an exact break between when the industry stopped using black and white films and when it started using color films. On top of that, film fans know that some filmmakers continue to choose to shoot their films in black and white decades after color films became the standard. Typical examples include oung Frankenstein (1974),  Raging  Bull (1980), Schindler’s List (1993),  and The Artist (2011).

An often-repeated but incorrect fact is that 1939's  The  Wizard of  Oz  is the first full-color movie. This misconception probably comes from the fact that the film makes great symbolic use of brilliant color film after the first scene  is shown in black and white. However, color movies were being created more than 35 years before The Wizard of Oz!

One of the most important developments in color films was Kinemacolor, created by Englishman George Albert Smith in 1906. Kinemacolor movies projected film through red and green filters (过滤器) to reproduce the actual colors used in the film. The first film to use the Kinemacolor process was Smith 's 1908 travelogue—A Visit to the Seaside. Kinemacolor was the most popular in its native UK, but the cost of installing (安装) the necessary equipment put many theaters off. After years of technical development, by the late 1950s, most Hollywood productions were being shot in color. Then, the color film finally became the standard in the filming industry.

However, the black and white film still makes its appearance. True, the black and white film has left a long-lasting impact on filming. Still,  audiences today always tend to associate the black and white film with classic Hollywood storytelling and also admire the bright colors of early color movies.

【1】What can we know about color movies?

A.They hardly have a clear boundary with the black and white ones.

B.They will replace the black and white films sooner or later.

C.They lead to the developments in art and technology.

D.They are more popular with film fans.

【2】Which of the following is a color film?

A.RagingBull. B.A Visit to the Seaside.

C.Schindler’s List D.The  Artist

【3】What accounted for the failure of many theaters to use Kinemacolor?

A.The lack of enough finances.

B.The complex process of using colors.

C.The difficulty in installing necessary equipment.

D.The unsatisfying color effect of Kinemacolor movies.

【4】What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?

A.The significance of the black and white film.

B.The possibility of replacing the black and white film.

C.The popularity of the black and white film among audiences.

D.The applicability of shooting classic stories in black and white.

【5】What does the underlined word “misconception” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.That  The Wizard of Oz was shot in 1939.

B.That The Wizard of Oz is the first full-color movie.

C.That The Wizard of Oz was shown in black and white.

D.That The Wizard of Oz took advantage of bright colors.

23、You might be abusing your battery, especially if you have a habit of leaving the screen on, shutting down apps or throwing it in your bag on a particularly freezing morning. Smartphones are designed to keep apps open in the background. Forcibly closing them may satisfy that little part of your brain that wants to keep things neat and tidy, but because it takes more juice to start an app fresh than to wake it up, you’re beating up on your battery every time you do it. Stop!

Avoid letting the temperature of your battery powered device dip below 32 degrees Fahrenheit or rocket above 95 degrees. In either case, damage can occur. It will lower-in some cases, dramatically—the life of your battery.

Petri Hayrynen, senior product marketing manager of Global Smart Devices at HMD Global, said that charging your phone to 100% may seem like a good idea, but if you’re using a high voltage (高电压的) charger, it can put a pressure on your battery. Instead, he said to pull the plug at 80%-90% for best usage and choose to charge often.

“Old nickel (镍) batteries had a memory effect, which meant that if you didn’t charge them from 1-100%, they started to ‘forget’ their maximum capacity. But it is quite different today. As for the modern-day lithium (锂) batteries, the most stress is to put on the battery when charging or discharging them fully; both reduce the charging cycles and overall battery life cycle,” Hayrynen said. He explained that people should do “more fast top-ups during the day,” instead of charging smartphones overnight.

Try to keep the battery above 30% or so, letting it discharge occasionally to calibrate the sensors. That will keep your battery healthier and longer. Besides, to get the absolute fastest charge, toggle on Airplane Mode after plugging it in.

【1】Why should you avoid shutting down apps too often?

A．To save your battery.

B．To keep things organized.

C．To wake them up more easily.

D．To make them run in the background.

【2】To what degree should you charge your battery according to the passage?

A．100%.

B．80%-90%.

C．70%.

D．30%.

【3】Which of the following may Hayrynen agree with?

A．A high-voltage charger is dangerous.

B．Nickel batteries are better than lithium ones.

C．Charging smartphones overnight is recommended.

D．Discharging batteries fully causes damage.

【4】What is the most suitable title for the text?

A．Benefits of Lithium Batteries

B．Reasons for Battery Life Reduction

C．Dos and Don’ts for Battery Charging

D．Great Revolution it Smartphone Batteries

24、SHORTLIST OF LONDON'S BEST

If you have limited visiting time we recommend you follow this list.

1) Houses of Parliament. The guided tours of the Houses of Parliament are excellent, in any language you want, and get you to places that even normal Brits can't. However, when Parliament is sitting, they are not running, but you can still get in.

2) Hampton Court. We rate this as one of the best attractions in Europe. A whole succession of kings and queens have added to Henry VIII’s original palace. There lie a fantastic park (by Capability Brown) and gardens (including the famous maze), and Tudor kitchens and one of the last remaining Real Tennis courts. Lots of free (once you've paid the admission) guided tours, some in costume, by people who know and love the place. It's also surrounded by a series of parks and makes a great destination for a bike trip - train out (30 minutes from Waterloo), bike back (12 miles) along the river. We prefer it to the Tower of London - you'll probably want to visit both, it knocks the spots off Buckingham Palace.

3) The River. Walk along the South Bank from Tower Bridge to Lambeth. The best of London is spread out for you: The Tower of London & Tower Bridge, The Houses of Parliament, Lambeth Palace (residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury), Shakespeare's Globe theatre, Both Tate Galleries, St Paul's Cathedral, The South Bank Centre, The Temple, The London Eye, Westminster Abbey, Somerset House. (A 2 hour walk if you don't stop for long). Or you can take a boat out to Greenwich, the Thames Barrier or the Dome.

4) Westminster Abbey. Where they crown Kings. An unreasonable admission charge (should really be free or voluntary donation), but a masterpiece anyway. If you get bored of waiting in the queue, or packed down by the crowds, hurry yourself off to the City where there's more square space of historic church, and empty.

5) The Theatre. It'd be a crime to visit London and not take in a show. Londoners have been passionate about theatre for centuries. Not only is the quality high, but the price is low — one third the price of Broadway.

【1】Which tour will a foreign student studying the history of British Royal Family most probably prefer？

A.the tour to Westminster Abbey B.the tour to Tower Bridge

C.the tour to Somerset House D.the tour to Hampton Court

【2】What time does the underlined statement “when Parliament is sitting” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A.when the Parliament is not officially in session.

B.when the members of Parliament are debating over a hot issue.

C.when the Parliament is staying idle for repairs.

D.when the members of Parliament are taking a break after some exercise

【3】Why are Londoners fond of theatre?

A.They enjoy the criminal drama plots.

B.They enjoy the inexpensive admission.

C.They enjoy the Classical Music and Opera.

D.They enjoy the scene of Shakespeare’s Globe theatre.
