20th,the 1918 pandemic,the 1957 Asian flu and the 1968 Hong Kong flue.Because it can take six to nine months to make enough of an effective vaccine,a deadly shift that _39_ around the world is what

act would last only for a short time,we could see quite a number of interesting things.We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene,setting up trees at the edge of a winding path.Very soon,bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position.The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby.Since it was hot in the studio,it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path.A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him,and soon the trees were covered in snow.Two more fans were turned on,and a strong wind blew through the trees.The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.The next scene was a complete contrast.The way it was filmed was quite unusual.Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen.An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the waters edge on an island.By a simple trick like this,palm trees,sandy beaches,and blue,clear skies had been brought into the studio!Since it was our turn next,we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us.For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film”Stars”!66.Who is the author?A.A cameraman.B.A film actor.2018-2019

kind of workshops and educational programs are prepared for kids and any special events that are coming up.Go to a Youtheater.Look for one in your area offering plays for child and family visitors.Pre-show play shops are conducted by area artists and educators where kids can discover the secret about performing arts.Puppet(木偶)making and stage make-up are just a couple of the special offerings you might find.Try hands-on science.Visit one of the many hands-on science museums around the country.These science play-lands are great fun for 2018-2019 年上海市市西中学高一上英语期中试卷（含答案）7/10kids and

still swim as well as ever ever when he gets back in the water.He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away.He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son.A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins Twinkle,twinkle,little star or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of over learning,which can be stated as follows:Once we have learned something,additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming,bicycle riding,and playing baseball long after we have learned them.We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as Twinkle,twinkle,little star and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks.We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the 2018-2019 年上海市市西中学高一上英语期中试卷（含答案）8/10things that we learn in school,because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination,though it may result in a passing grade,is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course.By cramming,a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination,but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned.A little overlearning,on the other hand,is really necessary for ones future development.74.What is the main idea of paragraph I?A.People remember well what they learned in childhood.B.Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C.Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D.Stories for children arc easy to remember.75.The author explains the law of

overlearningB.a special case of crammingC.a skill to deal with math problemsD.a basic step towards advanced studies77.What is the authors opinion on cramming?A.It leads to failure in college exams.B.Its helpful only in a limited way.C.Its possible to result in poor memory.2018-2019 年上海市市西中学高一上英语期中试卷（含答案）9/10D.It increases students learning interest.Section CDirections：Fill in each
