A
Every February \fever\hits the entertainment community and film fans around the world, with the annual Academy Awards presentation happening a month later, when hundreds of millions of cinema lovers glue themselves to their television sets to learn who will receive the golden statuettes(小雕像).
The Academy Awards or Oscars is an annual American awards ceremony hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences(AMPAS) to recognize excellence in cinematic achievements in the United States film industry. First presented in 1929, the awards are among the film industry’s most desired prizes.
The AMPAS maintains a voting membership of 5,783 until 2012 and academy membership is divided into different branches. For most categories, members from each of the branches vote to determine the nominees(被提名的人) only in their respective categories. In the special case of Best Picture,

all voting members have the right to select the nominees. In all major categories, each member votes for up to five nominees (ten for Best Picture). From among these nominees, all academy members select the winners by secret voting.
Since the earliest years, interest in the Academy Awards has run high. The awards ceremony was first broadcast on radio in 1930 — and has had broadcast coverage ever since — and televised for the first time in 1953. It is now seen live in more than 200 countries and can be streamed live online.
How the Oscar received its nickname is not clear. A popular, but unsupported story goes that the name caught on after the Academy’s Executive Director Margaret Herrick said that the statuette resembled her Uncle Oscar. Thus, the journalists and Academy staff started to refer to it by this name. Officially, the name Oscar has been used since 1939. 1.What does Oscar fever indicate?
A.A medical condition where one feels sick. B. People’s seeking Oscars blindly. C.A rare phenomenon in film industries. D. People’s great interest in Oscars. 2.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. How award winners are singled out. B. What is required of award winners. C. Who maintains the voting membership. D. What the academy members do.
3.What can we learn about the awards presentation? A. It is on annually in February. B. The second one was first televised. C. The first one escaped a media audience.
D. Its broadcast listeners have multiplied since 1953.

根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When we are grown-ups, it’s quite natural to look back on our different stages of life and remember who was there to see us through. 1 While some people’s high school friendships
3
gradually end, mine have stuck with me through every bit of life since. And I suppose high school friends are the friends you’ll build the strongest relationships with.
2 Whether it is the bad haircut or the braces(牙箍)you wear, your high school friends help you through it all. They tell you that you look wonderful when you cannot go out in public with that hairdo. 3
They understand the most about you. High school friends know you better than anyone else. They can just look at you and know how you’re feeling. You cannot hide much from them. 4 And they’d rather help deal with the problem at hand than let it go. So even when you don’t want to hear it, prepare yourself — because they’re not going to stop trying until you’re back to your normal self.
They make for the best reunion. Reunions are harder to organize when friends live across the country. However, with high school friends, it’s easy to enjoy the time together — you can often pick up just where you left off, no matter how long ago that was. Friendships can be hard to keep. 5
A. We could depend on our friends all the time. B. They are with you through your embarrassing stages.
C. They can sense something is off when you’re the slightest bit strange. D. For me, I often think about my fantastic group of high school friends. E. They build up your self-confidence to get you through each tough situation. F. Let’s pray the flower of friendship would always bloom brightly in our hearts. G. But it never seems like hard work with the ones you’ve known and loved for long. III.语法填空

3 (invention) have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from 4 (noise) cities often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead 5 simple life.
