Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A—F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

The title of next James bond film is Skyfall, which has already started filming. The film will be on in the UK on 26 October 2012 and in the United States on 9 November 2012. It has been 50 years since Sean Connery was announced as the first man to play Bond in the film named Dr No. Do you expect Skyfall which is the 23^rd film in the 007 series?
At London’s Corinthi a Hotel, the official gave a little information about the storyline: Bond’s loyal attitude toward his boss Miss M will be tested when one of her past staff comes back to hurt her. As MI6 (英国陆军情报六局) is in danger, 007 needs to solve problems and protect MI6 whatever it costs.
Mendes, who won a best director Oscar for 1999’s American Beauty, told fans that Skyfall would have all the features of a classic Bond movie, such as a lot of action. “Daniel Craig is back for a third time as 007 along with Dame Judi Dench as his boss Miss M.” said Mendes. Many famous actors and actresses who have Oscar wins and nominations (提名)are included, but the filmmakers remain keeping their roles in the film secret.
Producers are showing no signs of cutting off the cost of Skyfall. “It is at the same level as the 2008’s Quantum of Solace, which cost about $200m. The film will be made in the Whitehall, Scotland, China and Turkey, as well as Pinewood Studios.” Said a producer.
Why has 007 been popular for so long? Professor James Chapman of Leicester University, the author of the book A Cultural History of the James Bond Films, said, “They manage to let each new film meet the changes not just in society but in the popular taste of film culture. That lets each generation get their own Bond.”

完形填空

　　Two kinds of people exist in this world: clean people and people who have found millions of ways to avoid cleaning their rooms.

　　I belong to 1 because I am a teenager. Like all teenagers I am 2 busy pretending to be receiving an education to 3 that scientists attribute(归因于) 52 percent of global warming to the 4 that escapes from my bedroom window. 5 all you 6 get too angry, I want you to know that I closed my window last week.

　　Don't think the messy state of my room doesn't 7 me, it does. Every night I go to sleep, haunted(受折磨) by the thought that a(n) 8 I lost three years ago is somewhere in my room still plugged in(插着电源) and waiting to start a fire. 9 thing that worries me are my fish. I haven't gotten around to cleaning their tank this year. I can't 10 if they are alive or not.

　　A few weeks ago my mother ordered me to clean my mom. She said, “Tracie, you 11 not eat, sleep, or breathe until you clean up your room.”

　　I responded, “Mum, did I tell you I got an A on my physics test yesterday?”

　　“You don't even take physics, Tracie, so how can you get an A?”

　　My Mum was 12 than I thought, so I decided to ignore(不理会) the question and change the 13 .

　　“Did you know that most kids today watch ten and a half hours of TV? And high school students score an average of 500 points 14 on the SATs than the kids in your generation.” “No! Really? Well, Tracie, that's just one more example of how the weak 15 of today affect the minds and education of the kids your age. Oh! I forgot to take the bread out of the oven(烤箱)!”

　　I smiled to myself for once again 16 my mother with perfectly useless and untrue 17 . Thereby I avoided the 18 task of cleaning my room.

　　Then I turned and observed the smoke and the big pile of smelly 19 . But, I am just too 20 to disturb the natural flow of things.
