We all know the hard work that filmmakers and actors put in to provide us with entertainment, but it seems that even regular moviegoers like us have a big impact on how a movie turns out too. For decades now, film studios have used so-called test screenings to get feedback from members of the public before a movie comes out.While test audience members are usually asked to fill in a questionnaire after a screening, telling the film studio what they liked and didn’t like, media giant Disney has come up with a more high-tech solution.
According to a paper published this summer by the company’s researchers, Disney is measuring test audiences’ reactions by using special cameras placed inside cinemas.Pairing the cameras with custom software, the company can track what each audience member is feeling at any point in the movie, from anger to joy.This works by mapping 68 different points on each audience member’s face. The cameras can see in the dark, and the software can figure out a person’s mood based on the slightest of facial expressions.
It’s hoped that this new metho d will allow more detailed feedback from test audiences. Rather than relying on audience members to recall their feelings after the movie’s over, it can accurately read their reactions in real-time.
Test screenings are highly valued in the movie industry, and several well-known movies have been greatly altered following feedback.Viewers of E.T., the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), would have left the cinema feeling a whole lot differently if it weren’t for its test audience’s feedback. “In one cut of the film tha t was tested, E.T. died instead of going home in his spaceship. You won’t be surprised to hear that the
test audience in question didn’t warm to this ending at all,” wrote media website Den of Geek.
But for those who are concerned about privacy, the camera s won’t be installed in public cinemas.After all, unless you’re part of a test audience, being in front of the camera is best left to the movie stars.
28. Why are test screenings necessary?
A. To amuse us.
B. To influence a movie.
C. To get reactions of the audience.
D. To spy on the audience.
29. What is the main advantage that the cameras have over questionnaires?
A. They protect the audience's privacy better.
B. They allow the audience to recall their feelings more easily.
C. They can help audience members adjust their mood with custom software.
D. They are able to record the audience's mood accurately on the spot.
30. What do we know about E.T?
A. It doesn’t warm the audience.
B. The original ending is different.
C.It altered audience’s feedback.
D.
E.T died in his spaceship.
31. What is the author's attitude towards the cameras Disney researchers are using?
A. Positive
B. Indifferent
C. Negative
D. Neutral
D
The last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at home with her parents. All she’s ever wanted to do is to become an elementary school teacher. However, Hipp has racked up(累计) $100,000 (about 0.67 million yuan) in student loan debt and isn’t able to earn enough through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server to live anywhere other than home.
To some degree, multigenerational households have always been a part of American life. However, the number of adults who have been moving back in with their parents or never leaving home in the first place has been growing steadily.
The Pew Research Center recently reported that 2014 was a milestone in the evolving living arrangements of young adults in the US. Until 2014, the most common living arrangement for young adults was to be living in their own property as part of a couple.UBS Financial Services, a Swiss global financial services company, released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adults still living at home could be that their family doesn’t want them to leave.The report shows that 74 percent of millennials(千禧一代) get some kind of financial support from their parents after college. Millennials see their parents as peers, friends and mentors(导师). In return, their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them. Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial
Group in the US, said the number of young adults striking out on their own fell during the Great Recession. Although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved, that doesn’t necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest, he said. “They may like living at home and being able to save money.”
He added, “While it has held back household formation and purchases on things, they are probably traveling more and eating out more. I don’t know if it represents a change in moral values, it’s much more common for adult children to live in their parent’s homes because it’s becoming part of the culture.”
32. What’s the purpose of Caitlin Hipp’s story?
A. To prove the author’s view.
B. To introduce her situation.
C. To present the topic.
D. To make readers rethink about the problem.
33. What does the underlined part (Paragraph1) probably refer to?
A. live with parents
B. live independently
C. stay at home
D. leave home
34. According to Hoffman, which of the following is true?
A. It isn’t necessary for millennials to leave the nest.
B. They can spend less money on their daily life.
C. Moral values are changing gradually.
D. Young adults are living in a different life style.
35. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Why is the number of the millennial growing steadily?
B. Why has the percentage of adults living with their parents been on the rise?
C. Why are parents willing to help fund for young adults?
D. Why do more adults treat their parents as peers, friends and guides?

Dear Sir／Madam,
After careful consideration and investigation, I think your college is an ideal place for my college education, where I want to major in English literature.
I’m obsessed with English literature due to its long history and a long list of world-famous writ ers. I’m sure I can learn it well because English is my favorite subject in high school, which will be helpful for my further study in college.
As to my hobbies, I’m a keen basketball fan and I play a lot of it at school. What’s more, I’m crazy about rock music and my dream is to found a rock group. I hope my dream will come true in college.
I’m looking forward to receiving your early reply.
Yours sincerely, Li Hua
