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 2022 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 D．are unsuitable for people to watch 4．What can we learn from the text? A．Avatar was the first 3D movie. B．3D cinema has existed for years. C．Titanic 3D has made the most money. D．2022 witnessed the coming of 3D's time.

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.

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.

【科普学问型---阅读理解】
The forces that make Japan one of the world's most earthquakeprone(有地震倾向的) countries could become part of its longterm energy solution.
Water from deep below the ground at Japan's tens of thousands of hot springs could be used to produce electricity. Although Japanese hightech companies are leaders in geothermal(地热的) technology and export it, its use is limited in the nation.
“Japan should no doubt make use of its resources of geothermal energy，” said Yoshiyasu Takefuji, a leading researcher of thermalelectric power production.
The disastrous earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 caused a reaction against atomic power, which previously made up 30 percent of Japan's energy needs, and increased interest in alternative energies, which account for only 8 percent.
Artist Yoko Ono has called on Japan to explore its natural energy, following the example of Iceland which uses renewable energy for more than 80 percent of its needs.
For now, geothermal energy makes up less than 1 percent of the energy needs in Japan, which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power.
The biggest problem to geothermal energy is the high initial cost of the exploration and constructing the
factories.Another problem is that Japan's potentially best sites are already being developed for tourism or are located within national parks where construction is forbidden.
“We can't even dig 10cm inside national parks，” said Shigeto Yamada of Fuji Electric, adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow.
Researcher Hideaki Matsui said, “Producing electricity by using hot springs is a decadeslong project.We also have to think about what to do for now as energy supplies will decline in the short term.”
The Earth Policy Institute in Washington, the US, believed Japan could produce 80，000 megawatts(兆瓦)and meet more than half its electricity needs with geothermal technology.
Japanese giants such as Toshiba are already global leaders in geothermal technology, with a 70 percent market
share.In 2010, Fuji Electric built the world's largest geothermal factory in New Zealand. 1．What would be the best title for the text? A．Alternative energies in Japan B．The world's largest geothermal plant C．Japan takes the lead in geothermal technology D．Japan thinks of geothermal energy
2．What percentage of Japan's energy needs is geothermal energy? A．About 8%. B．Below 1%. C．Around 30%. D．Over 80%.
3．According to Shigeto Yamada, the growth of geothermal power in Japan needs ________． A．a change of rules B．financial support C．local people's help D．high technology
4．Geothermal energy is considered as a longterm program by ________． A．Yoshiyasu Takefuji B．Hideaki Matsui C．Shigeto Yamada D．Yoko Ono
5．It can be learned from the last two paragraphs that ________． A．the world's biggest geothermal plant was built by America B．Japan will not export its geothermal technology C．the potential of Japan's geothermal energy is great D．it is hard to find geothermal energy in Japan
【要点综述】文章主要叙述了日本正在考虑开发地热能。由于日本是地震多发国家，国家地热能格外丰富，所以地热能将是日本的新型替代能源。
1．D 主旨大意题。文章主要叙述了日本正在考虑开发地热能，围绕地热能的话题开放。故选D项。
2．B 细节理解题。从第七段“For now，geothermal energy makes up less than 1 percent of the energy needs in Japan，which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power.”可知，日本地热能不到1%，主要依靠于化石燃料和原子能。故选B项。
3．A 细节理解题。从倒数第四段“…adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow.”可知，要开发地热能需要将现行的规章制度进行转变，故选A项。
4．B 细节理解题。从“Researcher Hideaki Matsui said，‘Producing electricity by using hot springs is a decades-long project…”可知，Hideaki Matsui 认为地热能是个长期的项目，故选B项。 5．C 推理推断题。从最终两段可知，日本在地热能方面有着巨大的潜力，故选C项。
