高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
The hero of The Good Doctor,a young surgeon with autism(自闭症),represents the show's title in more ways than one.In the show,Dr.Shaun is extremely skilled at curing patients,but he's also morally good,able to see the light in others even if he can't always connect.
“As a British,I'm probably quite cynical(愤世嫉俗)in general,"said Freddie,who plays the part of Dr.Shaun,during a recent interview on the show's set in Metro Vancouver."I think he's a lovely person. Getting to reflect that version of the world he sees or he believes in and his faith in humanity,I think,is great,especially at a time like today when there's so much negativity."
Through Shaun and other doctors at the fictional San Jose St.Bonaventure Hospital,the series explores what it means to be a good person,which impresses the viewers greatly."It brings people hope in dark times and that might be one reason why it became a runaway hit last year,"cast members said.
"It came about somewhat naturally,"Freddie said."It seemed unusual to me to put so much in the four,five months of filming,because we only did 10 episodes,and then sort of stepped away and did nothing...I wanted to live in that world longer.”
Freddie,26,admitted to feeling some anxiety about getting his performance right.He did a great deal of research on autism and continued to work with a full-time consultant."When you're opposite Freddie, Shaun is learning.Shaun is processing."Nicholas,who plays Dr.Melendez,commented."It's not impression.He doesn't slip into the character and play around.He lives it a lot,too."
1.Who acts the hero in The Good Doctor?
A.San Jose. B.Shaun.
C.Freddie. D.Nicholas.
2.What is particularly impressive in the hero of The Good Doctor?
A.His autism. B.His good nature.
C.His cynical attitude. D.His working skills.
3.What is the passage mainly about?
A.How the actors play the roles.
B.How people react to the show.
C.What makes the show a big hit.

The title of next James bond film is Skyfall, which has already started filming. The film will be on in the UK on 26 October 2012 and in the United States on 9 November 2012. It has been 50 years since Sean Connery was announced as the first man to play Bond in the film named Dr No. Do you expect Skyfall which is the 23rd film in the 007 series?

Many famous actors and actresses who have Oscar wins and nominations (提名)are included, but the filmmakers remain keeping their roles in the film secret.
Producers are showing no signs of cutting off the cost of Skyfall. “It is at the same level as the 2008’s Quantum of Solace, which cost about $200m. The film will be made in the Whitehall, Scotland, China and Turkey, as well as Pinewood Studios.” Said a producer.
Why has 007 been popular for so long? Professor James Chapman of Leicester University, the author of the book A Cultural History of the James Bond Films, said, “They manage to let each new film meet the changes not just in society but in the popular taste of film culture. That lets each generation get their own Bond.”

[1]Do you remember the title of the last book you read? Are names sometimes just beyond your brain’s reach? While forgetfulness isn’t necessarily a sign that something’s wrong, it can be frustrating(令人沮丧的).But simple methods can help to sharpen your memory.
[2]Challenge your habits. Sometimes a little bit of habit changing goes a long way. For example,use the ‘wrong’ hand to do an everyday task several times a day.If you usually brush your teeth with your right hand, use your left.The brain ‘knows’ whew you're using the wrong hand.It’s that confusion that stimulates new brain circuits,as the brain struggles to master a new task.
[3]Get involved in niusic.Listening to music can improve your ability to concentrate and help you to remember what you’ve learnt.Some types of music actually cause brain neurons(神经细胞)to fire more quickly.If you’re really looking forward to sharpening your memory, take up a musical instrument.Whatever the instrument,learning to p1ay will tune your brain’s ability to analyse and focus.
[41Go out of your way to stay mentally active.What really counts is not the amount of book learning you did at school or university, it’s how much you actively use your mind.For example,doing crossword puzzles,learning a second language or playing games can exercise your brain.
[5] .Make sure that you get enough of the B vitamins in your diet.They help to repair brain tissue,and turn food into mental energy.Eat fish 2 or 3 times a week.If you drink coffee,you’ll not only get a short-term boost in your ability to concentrate but also long-term benefits as well.Besides, the brain is 85%water, so if you don’t drink at least 8 large glasses of water a day,you could suffer from memory loss.
1.What is this text mainly about?(no more than 5 words)
2.What are the two questions at the beginning used for?(no more than 4 words)
