Bobby Moresco grew up in New York's Hell's Kitchen, a tough working-class neighborhood on Manhattan's West Side. But Hell's Kitchen lies right next door to Broadway, and the bright lights attracted Bobby. Being stage-struck was hardly what a street kid could admit to his friends. Fearing their ridicule，he told no one when he started taking acting lessons at the age of 17.
Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few streets east. Then he moved to Hollywood, where he drove a cab and worked as a waiter. My father said, “Stop this craziness and get a job；you have a wife and daughter.” But Moresco kept working at his chosen craft.
In 1983 his younger brother was murdered. Moresco returned to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony of Hell's Kitchen. Half-deserted Streets, based on his brother's killing，opened at a small off-Broadway theatre in 1988.
His reputation grew, and he got enough assignments to move back to Hollywood. By 2003, he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis, a director who had befriended him. The two worked on the script(脚本) ，but every studio in town turned it down. Studio executives thought no one wanted to see an unpleasant, honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in modern America. But Moresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money and sold his house. He and Haggis kept pushing. At last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance.
Crash slipped_into the theatres in May 2005, and quietly became both a hit and a critical success. It was nominated(提名)for six Academy Awards and won three—Best Picture，Best Film Editing and Best Writing.
At the age of 54，Bobby Moreseo became an overnight success. “If you have something you want to do in life，don't think about the problems，” he says, “think about the ways to get it done.”
32．Moresco was unwilling to let anybody know when he decided to learn acting because he ________.
A．hoped to give people a surprise B．was afraid of being laughed at C．knew his dream wasn't realistic D．wanted to be independent of anybody
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Fearing their ridicule...”可知，他害怕被别人嘲笑，所以不敢告诉任何人他去学习的事情。
33．Which of the following is TRUE of Moresco's Half-deserted Streets? A．It resulted in his brother's death. B．It was put on at Broadway Theatre. C．It earned him some reputation. D．It appealed to a very small audience.
答案：C 细节理解题。根据第三段内容以及第四段第一句“His reputation grew...”可知，这部作品使他开始出名，因此选C项。其他几项与原文内容不符。
34．The underlined phrase “slipped into” means ________. A．walk into
B．was put on without being advertised C．was carried into quietly D．broke into
答案：B 联系上下文可知crash上演时没有太大关注，但很快取得巨大成功。 35．Which of the following is the correct order according to the passage? a．Moresco began writing about Hell's Kitchen. b．Moresco had financial problems in the creation. c．Moresco had his script made into a film.
d．Moresco worked as a taxi driver.
e．Moresco dreamed of performing on the stage. A．e－d－a－b－c C．d－a－b－e－c
B．e－d－b－c－a D．d－a－b－c－e

(2015·甘肃天水摸考)
For healthier kids, put away the car and walk to school
Only a quarter of Canadian kids walk or bike to school and that's not enough, according to a new “report card on physical activity for children and youth.”
Active Healthy Kids Canada (AHKC) is a Canadian charity that encouraged children and their parents more exercise.
Their report found that only 24 percent of 5 to 17-year-olds in Canada use “active transportation” to get to school. __36__ On the other hand, their parents were twice as likely to walk to school when they were children.
__37__ This year's theme, “driving，” looked at how much exercise kids are getting when they travel to and from different places near their homes.
There are many things the report listed as possible reasons why children wouldn't use active transportation.__38__ Many children live too far away from their school to be able to get there by walking or biking.
Another reason is that sometimes driving is easier.__39__ A third reason is safety. Many parents prefer not to let their children walk to school, especially if they are young.
AHKC has some suggestions about how children can work with their parents to make active transportation a bigger part of their life.
One is for parents to drive close (but not all the way) to school, and have children get out and walk the remaining distance.
Another is for parents to take turns looking after and walking with children so that they can travel safely.
The easiest and best thing to do is for parents to tell their children to try to walk or bike to different places whenever possible-not just when they are going to school. __40__ A．And children can tell their parents to walk more, too! B．The biggest one is the distance between schools and homes. C．“Active transportation” means not using cars, trains or buses. D．Keep a journal of when you went and how long each walk took. E．Parents may drop their children off at school, on their way to work. F．Every year in its report card, AHKC focuses on one aspect of healthy living.
G．In Canada over 30%of children and youth are considered overweight or obese. 答案：36～40 CFBEA
