Lighter and cheaper than high-quality video cameras, today’s best smartphones can shoot and edit high-definition (HD) videos. With lower-quality lenses(透镜) and image sensors, smartphones probably won’t replace professional video cameras anytime soon. Still, some creative filmmakers are extending the borders of smartphone moviemaking by shooting professional-quality films using only smartphones.
Soon after Apple’s iPhone 4 was released, two filmmakers decided to make a short film using only their iPhone 4s. Michael Koerbel and Anna Elizabeth James shot and edited the one-and-a-half-minute film Apple of My Eye in only 48 hours. Audiences were fascinated with the film, in which a man and his grandfather connect emotionally while admiring a model train set in a store window. The filmmakers followed up their success with Goldilocks, an extraordinary spy novel told over nine, three-minute films.
Many filmmakers are convinced that smartphone films are here to stay. One sign is their inclusion in major film festivals. In February 2012, organizers of the Berkshire International Film Festival staged the 10 X 10 On North Festival. Entries included Oliver by Hooman Khalili, an award-winning film about a girl whose special powers enable her to brighten the lives of three lonely people. Another entry was Yearlapse’11, a 365-second film by Zsolt Haraszti that describes an actual journey he made from New York to London.
During the festival, which ran from February 16 to 26, these and many other smartphone films were shown at the Beacon Cinema in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Similar festivals in Canada and South Korea have given smartphone filmmakers opportunities to show off their creative work.
65. What does the article imply about smartphone filmmakers?
66. What does the article point out about Haraszti’s film?
67. Which film is about secret agents?
68. According to this article, what is true about the festivals in Canada and South Korea?

Discoveries in science and technology are thought by “untaught minds” to come in blinding flashes or as the result of dramatic accidents. Sir Alexander Fleming did not, as legend would have it, look at the mold ( 霉 ) on a piece of cheese and get the idea for penicillin there and then. He experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he made his discovery. Inventions and innovations almost always come out of tough trial and error. Innovation is like soccer; even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more frequently than they score.
72. What does the author probably mean by “untaught mind” in the first paragraph?
73. According to the author, what differs innovators from non-innovators?
74.The phrase “march to a different drummer” (the last line of the passage) suggests that highly creative individuals are _____.
75.The most suitable title for this passage might be _____.
D. Discoveries and Innovation
Section C
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A. Your weight depends on your genes. B. Say “no” to junk food—no exceptions. C. Carbs are good or bad for you. D. Skipping meals helps you lose more weight. E. It is difficult to lose weight. F. You can control where your body loses weight. |
Dieting is hard work, and there are plenty of “helpful” diet tricks that can make weight loss even harder! Here are some common myths about losing weight and the truth behind them.
76. |
|
Carbohydrates are actually an important source of energy. There are good carbs and bad carbs. Refined and processed foods, like white bread or white rice, are examples of bad carbs. Good carbs include whole wheat bread and brown rice. They’re rich in fiber and really good for you!
77. |
|
On the contrary, studies show that people who eat breakfast tend to eat fewer calories throughout the day. And if you know you’re going to be eating a big meal later, don’t starve yourself in order to “save your calories.” You’ll just eat more during the meal because you’re so hungry! Instead, eat smaller meals a couple days before and after, and exercise more.
78. |
|
Bad news—if you want a flatter stomach, just exercising your abs won’t work. You can’t target where you lose weight. Cardio exercises will help burn fat, while weight training helps build muscles. Your “trouble areas” might not be the first to slim down, but keep exercising!
79. |
|
If you and your family have problems with obesity, you’re not destined to be fat. While a “fat gene” does exist, its influence on your size is actually pretty small. Smart eating and exercise have a much greater impact than your genes. Only 25 percent of your weight is controlled by genes—the rest is up to you!
80. |
|
Many people think that the key to losing weight is cutting out all bad foods. But the more restrictive your diet is, the more likely you are to break it—and in a big way. To lose weight and keep it off, eat great 80 percent of the time, but indulge in a treat or two the other 20 percent.
Section D
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
That experiences influence future behaviour is evidence of an obvious but nevertheless remarkable activity called remembering. Learning could not occur without the function popularly named memory. Constant practice has such an effect on memory as to lead to skillful performance on the piano, to recitation of a poem, and even to reading and understanding these words. So called intelligent behaviour demands memory, remembering being a primary requirement for reasoning. The ability to solve any problem or even to recognize that a problem exists depends on memory. Typically, the decision to cross a street is based on remembering many earlier experiences.
Practice (or review) tends to build and maintain memory for a task or for any learned material. Over a period of no practice what has been learned tends to be forgotten; and the adaptive consequences may not seem obvious. Yet, dramatic instances of sudden forgetting can be seen to be adaptive. In this sense, the ability to forget can be interpreted to have survived through a process of natural selection in animals. Indeed, when one’s memory of an emotionally painful experience leads to serious anxiety, forgetting may produce relief. Nevertheless, an evolutionary interpretation might make it difficult to understand how the commonly gradual process of forgetting survived natural selection.
In thinking about the evolution of memory together with all its possible aspects, it is helpful to consider what would happen if memories failed to fade. Forgetting clearly aids situation in time, since old memories weaken and the new tend to stand out, providing clues for inferring duration.
Another line of thought assumes a memory storage system of limited capacity that provides adaptive flexibility specifically through forgetting. In this view, continual adjustments are made between learning or memory storage (input) and forgetting(output). Indeed, there is evidence that the rate at which individuals forget is directly related to how much they have learned. Such data offer common support of contemporary models of memory that assume an input-output balance.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)
81. According to Para. 1, memory plays an important role in _____________________________.
82. We can obviously notice that over a period of no practice what has been learned tends to be forgotten from _______________________________________________________________.
83. What does it seem that the author disagree to explain?
84. According to the last paragraph, how do we exactly make adjustments between memory and forgetting?
