3D cinema has been around since the early 20th century, but Hollywood brought the technology back in 2007. Many thought it was just a trick to make more money. But then came Avatar, the first mustsee movie in 3D.
But since Avatar, 3D cinema has struggled. In_2010,_several_3D_movies_bombed_at_the_box_office. And by late 2010, some people said the technology was dead. Of course, that wasn't the first time Hollywood had struggled with new technology. Although sound was added to movies in the late 1920s, it took audiences time to get used to the new technology. But in the end, sound and colour became the standard. James Cameron, director of Avatar, thinks we're going through the same process with 3D.
Some say cinemas are charging too much for 3D movies. In the US, seeing a 3D movie can cost up to $7.5 more than seeing it in 2D.Also, a recent study at California State University finds audiences don't actually enjoy movies in 3D any more than in 2D.Walter Murch, a famous movie editor, wrote in 2011 that human beings have no ability to process 3D images. Watching a 3D movie confuses our brain and this is why some people get headaches.
But James Cameron disagrees. In fact, he recently predicted that in five years all movies will be in 3D.And there are signs that 3D is fighting back. More 3D movies were put on the market in 2024 than ever before. The Lion King 3D recently made over US $150 million at the box office, and Cameron's Titanic 3D made even more.
Who knows what the future holds for 3D? Steven Spielberg recently said, “I'm hoping 3D gets to a point where people notice it. Because then it just becomes another tool and helps tell a story.”
1．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means that in 2010, 3D movies________．
A．were not successful
B．became popular
C．developed quickly
D．were of poor quality
2．The example of sound and colour is used mainly to show that________．
A．Hollywood tends to absorb what is new
B．3D technology takes time to be accepted
C．Hollywood struggles with new technology
D．high technology helps to make better movies
3．In Walter Murch's opinion, 3D movies________．
A．bring moviemakers great profits
B．are more expensive than 2D movies
C．do great harm to people's health

4．What can we learn from the text?

【2024高考训练题】阅读理解—主旨大意题、标题概括题。
Shami is a spy working for MI5, the British domestic security service. Recently he was interviewed by the BBC for the now TV documentary series. Modern Spies.
Shami isn't his real name and in the interview his face was in shadow, so you couldn't identify him, but he spoke about his job and what motivates him.
The interviewer asked Shami if he has any hesitation about spying on other people. “No, not at all,” replied Shami. “I know why I'm doing it . I'm trying to prebent something major occurring which could lead to loss of life . That's my biggest motivation.”
Asked how he felt when he was doing a spying activity, Shami replied,” Excited. You feel a lot of pressure, but you understand the task in hand and how serious it is. You are thinking about potential dangers which might be a threat to yourself.” Shami admitted that his biggest fear was missing a vital piece of information, something that would go on to cause loss of life.
Shami said that there were some other intelligence officers working at MI5's London headquarters. Spies like him are out on the ground while the others' job is to analyze intelligence from a variety of different sources. He pointed out that vital pieces come from human sources of agents from within suspected terrorist organizations—a standard plotline in Hollywood movies, but he thought 007 was pure fantasy.” The key element of the James Bond myth is that we are some kind of illegal organization—that's not the case. And I certainly wouldn't be the kind of lone wolf in the films.”
Motivates Shami to carry out his job.
To spy on people
To prevent loss of life
To analyze important information
To get excitement from danger
It can be learned from the passage that
Shami once missed some important information
Shami is rarely stressed out when dong a task
The film 007 was a reflection of Shami's real life
MI5 is a legal organization
The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means
Shami never felt lonely because he could see films
Shami was not the leading actor in the film
Shami worked on a team rather than single-handedly
Shami needed the help of a wolf for his job
What can be the best title for the text?
A Real-Life Spy
B. Modern Spies
C. Spy Movies
D. Comparison on Spies
语篇解读
本文是篇记叙文。主要讲述的是现实生活中的一个间谍的故事。

D 推理判断题。根据最后一段倒数第二句可知，D项符合文意
C 句意理解题。 根据最后一段可知，不同的间谍分工不同：有的负责在总部分析情报，有的则在外执行任务。任务的完成是大家共同合作的结果，而不是像电影里詹姆斯·邦德一样单枪匹马完成任务。

2024高考训练题。阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。To begin your expedition of wonder, get yourself a driver’s license at your local department of motor vehicles, then rent a car and take off for New Hampshire’s Crawford Notch State Park. This beautiful park is abundant in wildlife, natural vegetation and running rivers falling from high cliffs. It is a place of spectacular mountain views, hiking trails, waterfalls and fishing locations. All you need to do is jump in your rented car or SUV and head for the sunset!
Okay, so you’ve just finished those crazy summer final exams and you’re exhausted from all of the stress. That’s okay because New Hampshire’s State Park also offers a perfect way to recover at Coney’s Flume Park where visitors can ride all the rapids in a hollowed out log, eat hotdogs and play on the amusement tides. Good times will be had no matter what your preference at Dry River Campground, which offers wood cabins, showers, electricity, flush toilets, laundry and fire rings. It’s like a home away from home, so gather your camping gear and head for the journey!
If you’re stuck on figuring out how to access your own wheels, how about finding a bus to take you to Weirs Beach? There are fall leaves tours running in the fall through the end of October. Let the captain do the driving while you enjoy the colors along the shoreline and the mountainsides.
If you can’t find some peace of mind from those nasty final exams while relaxing in your lakeside cottage, take a cruise and go fishing, go bird sightseeing, or just kick back in a rented boat and let the coo of the birds wash your troubles away.
No matter where you go in New Hampshire, you’ll meet the most friendly people you can imagine. Do dive into that rental car or SUV, take off for a vacation to New Hampshire and treat yourself to one of America’s most beautiful states. Enjoy!

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
Without most people realizing it, there has been a revolution in office work over the last ten years. Before that time, large computers were only used by large, rich companies that could afford the investment. With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them.
The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors (处理器) , or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast.
There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager. The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a manager’s point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.
But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units (显示器). The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them.
Whatever the arguments for and against word processor are, they are a key feature (特征) of this revolution in office practice.
1. Ten years ago, smaller companies did not use large computers because_________.
A. these companies had not enough money to buy such expensive computers
B. these computers could not do the work that small computers can do today
C. these computers did not come onto the market
D. these companies did not need to use this new technology
2. According to the writer, the main feature of the revolution in office work over the last ten years is __________.
A. the saving of time and money
B. the use of computers in small companies
C. the wide use of word processors
D. the decreasing number of secretaries
3. It is implied but not directly stated in the passage that with the use of word processors _________.
A. some secretaries will lose their jobs
B. daily jobs can be done automatically outside office hours
C. medical problems related to work with a VDU have increased greatly
D. the British companies will make less money
4. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. There are both advantages and disadvantages in using a word processor.
B. The British companies care much for the health of the people using word processors.
C. The technology in the field of computers has been greatly advanced over the last ten years.
D. Using word processors, secretaries can get more time to do more interesting work for their bosses.
5. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.
A. safety screens are of poor quality
B. working at a VDU for a long time is good for one’s health
C. more and more British offices will use word processors
D. British companies will need fewer and fewer managers
