“NOW I just don't believe that." Surely all of us, at some point, have watched a movie and thought: It's simply badly researched, or, the makers must think we're idiots (白癡).

  Recently, the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph ran a humorous piece on unconvincing(不讓人信服的) tech moments from some top movies. Let's see what all the fuss (激動(dòng)) is about.

  Telegraph writer Tom Chiver's first example is from the end-of-the-world movie Independence Day, in which a character comes up with a virus capable of destroying Windows, the computer system the alien spacecraft uses. “It's a good thing they didn't have Norton Antivirus,” jokes Chivers.

  It's just one case of a movie that takes a lot of license with its science. Another one Chivers mentions is from Star Wars, where glowing beams (閃亮的光束) of light traveling through space look very impressive. The problem is that in space there are no air particles (粒子) for the light to reflect off. In reality, they'd be invisible, which wouldn't look so cool on the big screen.

  Chiver's second piece of Star Wars nonsense is the sound the fighters make in the movies: “the bellow (咆哮) of an elephant mixed with a car driving on a wet road”. But sound needs a medium (介質(zhì)) to travel through, like air. In space, there wouldn't actually be any sound at all.

  Few people would deny that the mind-bending Matrix films make for great viewing, but for Chivers, the science in the movies is a little silly.

  He comments “…the film is based on the idea that humans are kept alive as electricity generator (發(fā)電機(jī)). This is not just unlikely – it's fundamentally impossible. They would need more energy to stay alive than they would produce. It's like saying you'll power your car with batteries, and keep the batteries charged by running a dynamo (發(fā)電機(jī)) from the wheels.”

  And finally: as Chivers points out, DNA is not replaceable. But this bit of elementary genetics (遺傳學(xué)) passed the makers of the 2002 Bond film Die Another Day by. In the film the villain (壞人) has “gene therapy (療法)” to change his appearance and his DNA, which is completely impossible.

71. The following are all movies mentioned in the article except _______.

A. Die Another Day.          B. Matrix                    C. Star War        D. Norton Antivirus

72. Chivers uses the car as an example to show that _______.

A. cars can’t be powered by batteries

B. humans consume more power that they could have made

C. the villain has “gene therapy” to change his appearance and his DNA

D. it would take so much power to keep humans alive by electricity generator that it’s hardly possible

73. Which of the following is a scientific fact?

   A. No virus can destroy Windows.

   B. Light can be reflected with the help of air particles.

   C. DNA is replaceable as long as there is enough energy.

   D. We can design a car powered with batteries which are charged from the wheels.

74. What kind of people Chivers may be?

A. Humorous.       B. Brave.        C. Sensitive.    D. Careless.

75. Chivers probably writes the article in order to _______.

A. persuade people not to watch some silly movies

B. criticize movie makers’ carelessness

C. provide readers with something to read for fun

D. educate the public on some basic scientific knowledge

They were going to Fort Lauderdale — three boys and three girls — and when they boarded the bus, they were carrying sandwiches and wine in paper bags, dreaming of golden beaches and sea tides as the gray, cold spring of New York went behind them.
As the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice Vingo. He sat in front of them, completely in silence.
Deep into the night, outside Washington, the bus pulled into Howard Johnson’s, and everybody got off except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him. When they went back to the bus, one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself.
“Want some wine?” she said. He smiled and took a swig from the bottle. He thanked her and became silent again. After a while, she went back to the others, and Vingo nodded in sleep.
In the morning, they awoke outside another Howard Johnson’s, and this time Vingo went in. The girl insisted that he join them. He ordered black coffee and some cookies as the young people talked about sleeping on beaches. When they returned to the bus, the girl sat with Vingo again, and after a while, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story. He had been in prison in New York for the past four years, and now he was going home.
“Are you married?”
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?” she said.
“Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife,” he said, “I told her that I was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldn’t stand it, if the kids kept asking questions, and if it hurt her too much, well, she could jus forget me. I’d understand. Get a new man, I said — she’s a wonderful woman. I told her she didn’t have to write me. And she didn’t. Not for three and a half years.”
“And you’re going home now, not knowing?”
“Yeah. Well, last week, when I was sure the parole (假釋) was coming through, I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick, just before Jacksonville, and there’s a big oak (橡樹(shù)) just as you come into town. I told her that if she didn’t have a new man and if she’d take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I’d get off and come home. If she didn’t want me, forget it — no handkerchief and I’d go on through.”
“Wow,” the girl exclaimed, “Wow.”
She told the others, and soon all of them were in it, looking at the pictures Vingo showed them of his wife and three children.
Now they were 20 miles from Brunswick, and the young people took over window seats on the right side, waiting for the approach of the great oak. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face, as if protecting himself against still another disappointment.
Then Brunswick was ten miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, shouting and crying.
Vingo sat there astonished, looking at the oak. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs — 20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, flying in the wind. As the young people shouted, Vingo slowly rose from his seat and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.
【小題1】At the beginning of the story, the young boys and girls ______.

A.showed a great interest in VingoB.didn’t notice Vingo at all
C.wanted to offer help to Vingo D.didn’t like Vingo at all
【小題2】The underlined part “Howard Johnson’s” is most probably a(n) ______.
A.bus stationB.a(chǎn)partmentC.hospital D.restaurant
【小題3】How did Vingo feel on the way home?
A.Ashamed. B.Relaxed. C.Nervous. D.Disappointed.
【小題4】The paragraphs following this passage would most probably talk about ______.
A.Vingo’s experience in prison
B.the young people’s travel to Fort Lauderdale
