14、Comprehensio(总题数：8，分数：60.00)7.Part III Reading Comprehension_8.Section A_Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as “silent“, the film has never been, in the full sense of the word, silent. From the very beginning, music was regarded as an 1accompaniment: when the Lumiere
15、films were shown at the first public film exhibition in the United States in February 1896, they were 2by piano improvisations(即兴创作)on popular tunes. At first, the music played 3no special relationship to the films: an accompaniment of any kind was 4. Within a very short time, however, the incongrui
16、ty(不协调)of playing lively music to a 5film became apparent, and film pianists began to take some care in 6their pieces to the mood of the film. As movie theaters grew in number and importance, a violinist, and perhaps a cellist, would be added to the pianist in certain 7, and in the larger movie thea
17、ters small orchestras were formed. For a number of years the selection of music for each film program 8entirely in the hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra, and very often the principal 9for holding such a position was not skill or taste so much as the ownership of a large personal libr
18、ary of musical pieces. Since the conductor seldom saw the films until the night before they were to be shown, the musical arrangement was 10improvised in the greatest hurry.A)sufficient B)incredible C)accompanied D)comparativelyE)matching F)rested G)normally H)occasionsI)bore J)qualification K)solem

If yes, then this article will help you make reading and reviewing
20、 books more creative for your class. In an age of PSPs, Xbox, anime and gaming arcades(街机游戏), reading has lost its foothold in the list of hobbies that children tend to cite.B)Most of the reading that kids do today comes in the form of compulsory books that they need to read for school, and maybe th
21、at is the reason they find reading to be an insurmountable(难以克服的)and boring task. If you want to inculcate(反复灌输)the love for languages and literary masterpieces in your students and want them to devour books everyone should read, then a good way of going about the same would be to get them to start
22、working on creative book report ideas. While working on creative ideas for book reports, your students will have to understand the book in a way that allows them to come up with new ways to present to the class, the essence of the book.C)As a teacher while encouraging your students to activate their
23、 creative gray cells, you will have to help them out with basic ideas that they can work on. Depending on the age group that your students belong to, the creative book report ideas will vary. This is so, not just because of the varying attention spans that children of various age groups possess but
24、also because of the amount of work that kids can put into the report. While a middle school student will be comfortable handling a handy camera, a student from elementary school will be more fascinated if he is working with paints and puppets. So do you want to know how to write a book report creati
25、vely? In this article, we will list out for you, a couple of good creative book report ideas for elementary students and for middle school students.D)A book report sandwich is a good creative idea for book reports. As a teacher you can get drawings of a sandwich on sheets of paper that are of the co
26、lor of the ingredients of your sandwich, for example, a cream sheet of paper to resemble mayonnaise(蛋黄酱), red to represent tomato and likewise. Obviously, each ingredient should be cut in a way that when assembled together, it looks like a sandwich. Now, give each of your students one of these book
27、sandwiches to create their book report.E)It can start with the name of the book and the authors name on the top slice of the sandwich. The second ingredient can have the summary of the book on it. Each subsequent ingredient can have a description of the main characters, the setting of the book, the
28、plot, and then his or her views about the book. Once they are done with their book reports, they can staple(用订书机订)the book sandwich together and then, you can create a class bulletin board with all the book report sandwiches on display.F)One of the good techniques to retell a story, it is also one o
29、f the favorite creative book report ideas among students. The job that the student will have is to read the book and then pick a few objects at his / her home which will allow him / her to retell the story in a way that makes it interesting for his / her audience. Every time he / she picks out an ob
30、ject from the bag to report the book he / she has read, there has to be a valid connection between the book and the object, which the student can first ask the audience to guess and then go ahead and explain it. This idea is spin-off on the normal show and allows for an interactive book report sessi
31、on.G)This is one of the creative ideas for book reports in which as the teacher, you will have to divide your class into groups and give them one book each. The students can then read the book and get together and write a play and act it out for the class. To give a deeper insight into the book, one
32、 of the students can play the role of the author and as a group, the students can try and recreate the thought process of the author. The student playing the role of the author can then interrupt the play at important parts and talk about the reasons for these twists in the play and how he / she cam
33、e up with these plot lines.H)As a young adult, your student s fascination may go beyond the immediate concerns of the book. He / she may want to understand the circumstances in which the book was written, the times then, the events happening in the world and get the author s perspective about the bo
34、ok. Encourage your students to mink on those lines. Divide the class into pairs and give each pair one book to read. Let them then do the roles of the author and a journalist. You can have an interview session in front of the class enabling them to analyze the book and get a peek into the authors wo
35、rld.I)In a technology-obsessed world, it maybe a very tiny minority of your class that does not get excited with the prospect of shooting a film. It is one of the best creative book report ideas for middle school, and you will need to divide the class into groups and give them at least two months to
36、 adapt the book that they have been assigned into a film. The movie should have a well-adapted screenplay, and all other prerequisites, like a lighting engineer, sound engineer, costume designer, etc. At the end of the given time, the film can be screened in front of the class and then discussed.J)I
37、f you are on the lookout for good individual creative book report ideas, then this one could be for you. Assign every student a book and then ask them to start maintaining a diary, from the author s point of view. Ask them to come up with imaginary incidents from the authors life and use historical
38、events to explain why the author wrote the book in a certain manner. Alternately, you can also ask your students to give a surrogate ending to the story. K)These are just few of the options that you could use to inspire your students to come up with creative book report ideas. As kids we tend to be
39、more imaginative and creative. Encourage your students to mink on of the box and appreciate them for their efforts. This will help you have a class that is not only lively and inquisitive by nature but also a class that will cultivate a love for words.（分数：20.00）(1).The creative book report ideas var

Judging from the drastic experiment of Frederi
45、ck II in the thirteenth century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent. All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than lack of language here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected. Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by Frederick. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reas
