It happened in the late fall of 1939 when, after a Nazi submarine had penetrated the Briti

sh sea defense around the Firth of Forth and damaged a British cruiser, Reston and a colleague contrived to get the news past British censorship. They cabled a series of seemingly harmless sentences to The Times's editors in New York, having first sent a message instructing the editors to regard only the last word of each sentence. Thus they were able to convey enough words to spell out the story. The fact that the news of the submarine attack was printed in New York before it had appeared in the British press sparked a big controversy that led to an investigation by Scotland Yard and British Military Intelligence. But it took the investigators eight weeks to decipher The Times's reporters' code, an embarrassingly slow bit of detective work, and when it was finally solved the incident had given the story very prominent play, later expressed dismay that the reporters had risked so much for so little. And the incident left Reston deeply distressed. It was so out of character for him to have. become involved in such a thing. The tactics were questionable and, though the United States was not yet in the war, Britain was already established as America's close ally and breaking British censorship seemed both an irresponsible and unpatriotic thing to do.

The episode recounted in the passage took place ______.

A．just prior to the outbreak of the Second World War

B．bofore Britain entered the Second World War

C．before the United States entered the Second World War

D．while the United States was in the Second World War

"The Aviator" soared Saturday at the British Academy Film Awards, taking four prizes inclu

ding best film. Mike Leigh's "Vela Drake" won three at a glamorous ceremony that is considered an important pre-Oscars bellwether.

Leigh was named best director, beating "The Aviator" director Martin Scorcese. Scorcese's film——which has 11 nominations for the Feb. 27 Academy Awards——had led the field with 14 nominations. But members of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts scattered the prizes widely. While Scorcese and "Aviator" star Leonardo DiCaprio went home empty-handed, the film won a best supporting actress award for Cate Blanchett, as well as prizes for production design and best hair and makeup.

Imelda Staunton won best actress for her wrenching performance as a 1950s Cockney house-wife who performs illegal abortions in "Vera Drake." The film also took the costume design prize. Jamie Foxx was named best actor for his uncanny depiction of singer Ray Charles in "Ray"; the film also won the award for best sound. British star Clive Owen was named best supporting actor for "Closer."

The British awards, known as BAFTAs, have become an essential pre-Oscars stop since they were moved in 2000 from April to a February date, preceding the Academy Awards. A clutch of Hollywood stars--including DiCaprio, Keanu Reeves, Richard Gere, Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell and model Claudia Schiffer--braved the rain and cold to walk up the red carpet in London's Leicester Square, watched by hundreds of movie fans.

The Che Guevara road movie "The Motorcycle Diaries" won two awards--best foreign-lan-guage fill and best music. Another double winner was fractured romantic comedy "Eternal Sun-shine of the Spotless Mind," which took BAFTAs for editing and for Charlie Kaufman's tricksy original screenplay. The prize for best adapted screenplay went to Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor for the wine-tasting comedy "Sideways."

"My Summer of Love," Pawel Pawliowski's bittersweet tale of romance between two teenage girls, was named best British film. Writer/director Amma Asante won the award for achievement on a first British feature for "A Way of Life." The short film award went to Kelly Broad and Hattie Dalton for "The Banker," while Andrew Gregory and Sejong Park took the short animation prize for "Birthday Boy."

The awards--officially the Orange British Academy Film Awards--are sponsored by mobile phone company Orange.

The American movie "Aviator" won _______ at the British Academy Film Awards this year.

A．best actress

B．best supporting actor

C．best actor

D．best supporting actress

听力原文：Today, Americans still make the same presumption that military might be right. Fo

llowing European criticisms of the Iraq war, the French became "surrender monkeys". The Germans were opportunistic ingrates. The British and the Poles were America's lone allies. Unsurprisingly, many of those listening to Bush's inaugural pledge last week to stand with those defying tyranny saw the glimmerings of an argument for invading Iran. Washington has thus far shown more of an appetite for spreading ideals with the barrel of a gun than for namby-pamby hearts-and-minds campaigns.

According to the passage, which of the following is true？

A．Americans have always believed that military might is correct.

B．Americans have dropped diplomatic solutions to political problems since Bush took office.

C．Americans have accused France of being ungrateful for its help.

D．Bush was thought by some to be seeking justification in attacking Iran in his address.

The American Revolution was a citizens revolution. Ordinary men took a large part in it. O

ne of them was Paul Revere, a silver worker. He lived in Boston many years ago during the time when many people in the British colonies in America felt that they were being used for Britains gain. They felt that they were being taxed without fair representation in the British government. The people of Boston were especially angry, and additional British troops had been sent there to keep the excited colonists under control. Paul Revere was one of those who believed that the British would soon be on the march against the villages and farms near Boston. On the night of the eighteenth of April, 1775, Revere rowed across the Charles River to a place opposite Boston where his saddled horse was ready to ride. If the British soldiers came, he was to ride to warn the people. A friend in Boston was hidden near the British troops in a place where he could watch what they did. If they marched by land, he was to hang one lantern (灯笼) high in the tower of the old North Church in Boston where Paul could see it. If they came by sea, he would hang up two lanterns. Toward morning Revere saw two lights in the tower. The British must be coming by sea! He jumped on his horse and rode through the countryside before dawn in order to warn the farmers and villagers that they must fight at the daybreak. He rode all night and in the morning, by the time the troops arrived, the farmers were hidden all along the roads with their guns loaded. When the British came, the Americans drove them back. These first battles of the American Revolution were fought at Concord and at Lexington, Massachusetts, on April 19, 1775. In 1776 the colonies signed a declaration of independence.

What is the authors main purpose in the passage？

A．To provide information about the childhood of Paul Revere.

B．To discuss the war between the British and the Americans.

C．To tell the reader a story about Paul Revere in the American Revolution.

D．To describe the courage of the farmers and villagers in the American Revolution.

How a Terrible Battle Helped to Change Europe

Ninety years ago on a sunny morning in Northern France, something happened that changed Britain and Europe for ever. At half past seven on the morning of July 1, 1916, whistles(哨子) blew and thousands of British soldiers left their positions to attack their German enemies. By the end of the day, 20,000 of them were dead, and another 30,000 wounded or missing. The Battle of the Somme,【51】 it is called, lasted for six months. When it ended, 125,000 British soldiers were dead. They had gained five kilometers of ground.

This was one of a series of great battles during WWI. The attack on the Somme was staged to relieve【52】 on the French, who were engaged in a great battle of their own at a place called Verdun. By the time the battle ended, over a million French and German troops had been killed.

About 17 million people were killed in WWI. There have been wars with greater numbers of dead. But there has never been one in【53】 most of the dead were concentrated in such a small area. On the Somme battlefield, two men died for every meter of space.

【55】 France and Belgium. Relatives and descendants(子孙) of those who died still visit these graveyards today. What the French call the "tourism of death"【56】 an important contribution to the local economy.

It took a second great conflict before Europe was to turn【57】 war itself. Twenty-eight years after the Somme battle, a liberating army of British, American and Canadian troops took back【58】 from another German invasion. More than 500,000 people were killed. New【59】 were built.

Two great conflicts across two generations helped to change the European mind about war. Germany, once the most warlike country in Europe, is now probably more in【60】 of peace than any other. One major cause of war in Europe was rivalry(竞争) between France and Germany. The European Union was specifically formed to end that【61】.

According to US commentator William Pfaff, "Europeans are interested in a slow development of civilized and tolerant international relations,【62】 on problems while avoiding catastrophes(灾难) along the way. They have themselves only recently【63】 from the catastrophes of WW Ⅰ and WW Ⅱ , when tens of millions of people were destroyed. They don't want【64】."
