It marks a trend among law students to change from the traditional field of corporate law and look to working in creative industries. The trend, also noticeable at other law schools around the country, has pushed growth in the field of entertainment law.“These students are propelled by a love for music, the arts, and show business. It's an exciting career for a music lover,” said HLS Clinical Professor of Law Brian Price, who's in charge of the Entertainment Law Clinic.Price added, “Although entertainment lawyers work behind the scenes, they can have a bigger influence on artists' careers than managers. They review artists’ agreements, deals and contacts, making sure their customers’ interests are protected.”“Artists are becoming wise and want to be involved in the business aspects of their careers,” said Price. “When they ask for legal advice, they warn to know their legal rights, and how to make good deals and find ways to make more money.” Most HLS graduates end up working in business or corporate law, though some have had successful careers in the entertainment industry. Among them are Bruce Ramer, 58, who represents customers like George Clooney and Clint East wood; Bert Fields, 52, who represents Michael Jackson.28. What does the author want to show through the example of Rebecca?A. The importance of learning entertainment law.B. Her determination to succeed in the field of law.C.

Blown.        B.  Driven.       C. Depressed.    D. Confused.30. What can be learned from the last paragraph?A. HLS is home to many famous artists.B. Artists are wise enough to learn corporate law.C. Artists are becoming more focused on legal needs.D. Famous artists pay no attention to making money.31. What can be the best title for the text?A. The Death of Rebecca's Dream          B. Making It Big behind the ScenesC. Helping Musicians Improve Themselves  D. A Brief Introduction to Entertainment LawDWe have heard some interesting news about how 5G wireless technology might change our lives in the future .5G-short for the 5th Generation Cellular Network Technology, promises the Internet speeds 50 to 100 times faster than current 4G systems.While 5G is set to be used in some limited areas of America this year, much of the world is not expected to receive widely available service until 2023.One project in Britain, however, is already testing this super fast technology on an unlikely group of the Internet users-cows. The project was developed by Cisco Systems, an American technology company. It also receives money from the British government. Cisco says the program seeks to explore the future of 5G connectivity in rural areas around the world. Testing areas were set up on farms in three rural areas in England. The cows are equipped with 5G-connected devices that link up to a roboti milking system, which uses sensors and machine learning to fully automate the process. System designers say technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks toward an automatic gate. The device is designed to recognize each individual cow . It then positions equipment to the right body position for milking. During the process, machines release food for the cow as a reward.Other 5G technology tools include automated brushes that start when the cow rubs against them . Sensors also control the amount of light in the cows living areas depending on the weather. And an automatic feeding system makes sure the animals always get enough food to eat.Duncan Forbes , head of the project , told Reuters that the project shows the farm's cow operation can be greatly improved with 5G technology and that the experiment provides strong evidence that 5G technology can be widely used in the future, not just on farms in Britain, but in rural communities across the world.32. What is the purpose of Cisco Systems' program?A. To win financial support from British government.B. To test the effects of 5G technology on animals.C. To promote its technological development in Britain.D. To expand the future use of 5G in rural communities.33. What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The project.    B.The company.    C.The technology.     D. The group.34. What can we learn about 5G according to the text?A. It is no better than 4G in terms of speed.B. It is already widely available in the world.C. It enables cows to control their own milking.D. It is based on sensors and machine learning.35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A.Entertainment.       B.Lifestyle.       C.Education.      D. Technology.第二节 七选五 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A good teacher can make a world of difference in a student’s life, influencing everything from their classroom learning to their long-term success.   36   Here are some of the qualities that good teachers have in common.   37   When it comes to effective leaching, strong communication skills are a must.

My friend Stella is  such an example. Every time we went to a restaurant, she would not take a bite until all the dishes we    41    were on the table. Then she would spend five minutes in    42    the dishes in a seemingly random but in fact   43    order. Then the most important part: taking pictures. After that, she would choose one of the    44    and click in the filter(滤镜)app. The food eventually looked 10 times more delicious than it really was, but we had no    45    to really enjoy it—it all went cold. Actually Stella’s real life is much less elegant. For example, she hates to wash the dishes, so she leaves them in the sink for days.Many people care too much about others' opinions and try too hard to    46    others. They find it hard to be    47    and to accept themselves, and thus they are afraid to show their    48   life on social media. What they are trying to prove is    49    what they lack in reality. But this will not bring any    50    to reality, as they still    51    the same old pattern of life.If they really want an elegant life, they should put more    52    into achieving it    53    fabricating(伪造)it. Being more confident,    54    themselves and trying their best to be better are much more meaningful than    55    their life on social media.A. ordered    B. served C．offered D．preparedA. cooking     B. washing C．setting D．collectingA. messy B. arranged C．casual D．missedA. dishes B. restaurants C．tables D．picturesA. chance B. choice C．excuse D．reasonA. comfort     B. please C．inspire D．discourageA. independent B. generous C．responsible D．confidentA. real B. secret C．peaceful D．healthyA. rarely B. hardly C．exactly D．nearlyA. difficulty B. change C．guidance D．harmA. question B. dislike C．doubt D．followA. effort B. ambitions C．feelings D．moneyA. other than B. more than C．rather than D．less thanA. identifying B. accepting C．persuading D．amusingA. simplifying B. ruining C．beautifying D．worsening 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）  阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号单词的正确形式。My disability is in reading. Most of the time I hate reading because I think people  56    (make) fun of me if I get words wrong. Sometimes I feel like crying. I get  57 (annoy) because I can't read as well as I would like to. My reading disability also gets  in  the way with my tests because I sometimes can't figure out the meaning of the questions. 
    I also find that if a book doesn't interest me, I easily get bored and reading becomes 58         (challenge) to me. When I read, I prefer to 59    (leave) alone where it is quiet so I can concentrate better.  There are cheerful days when I am asked to read, and I don't pronounce any of the words wrong.
      I used to think I was the only one 60     couldn't read until I attended a class with a girl and she found out my 61     (weak). Then I found out she couldn't read very well. 62   was exciting to find out we had something in common  .
   Together we learned there were ways 63       (get) information other than by reading. There are books on tape, video and people who will  read to us. We are trying to adapt 64      it. And I believe we can be 65       (access) to success.  第三部分   写作(共两节，满分40分)第一节 (满分15分)假定你是李华，国庆节前你校举办了主题为“美丽中国”的现场国画（traditional Chinese painting）比赛。请为校报英文专栏写一篇活动报道。内容包括：1. 活动时间、地点；   2. 活动概况；     3. 活动意义。

When the noon bell rang, I would race breathlessly home. My mother would be standing at the top of the stairs, smiling down at me.One lunch-time when I was in the third grade will stay with me always. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had rehearsed my lines so hard with me. But no matter how easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator’s (旁白的) part to the play, and asked me to change roles. Her words, kindly expressed, still hurt, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine (藤蔓) was turning green. Under the huge trees, we could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) in the grass in bunch, as if a painter had touched our landscape with gold. I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, “pulling it up by its roots. From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful---even dandelions.”My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn’t it?” She asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.” Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled.注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150词左右；2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；Paragraph 1:“But you will be a good narrator,” she said, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:After the play, I took home the dandelion. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Over one hundred students participated in the competition. As the competition began, participants laid out the paper, picked up the paintbrush and gave full play to their talent, displaying the beauty of our motherland. Two hours later, the competition came to an end. The results will be announced in two days, and the winning entries will be on show in the exhibition hall.
    Most of the students think highly of this live painting competition, which provides a platform for them to explore the beauty of China and experience the charm of Chinese art.第二节 续写范文1 Paragraph 1:“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, encouraging and comforting me as always as she did. My beloved mom, wearing a shining smile on her scarlet face, added. “The narrtor’s part is important, too.” Thanks to her encouragement, which calmed me down gradually, and I began to accept the narrator part was of vital significance. Time went so fast that it reached to the performance day. At first I was still nervous, but it was at that very moment that I found a dandelion in my pocket. I knew my mom passed the flower to me, which meant to be in company with me.Paragraph 2:After the play, I took home the flower. Mom carefully gazed at the dandelion, gently pressed it into the dictionary and grinned happily as she did. “We were perhaps the only people who would press such a sorry-looking weed.” Though decades have passed, I constantly recall our precious lunchtimes being together, clinging to each other, bathed in the soft midday light. For this, I am forever grateful, because smiles on mother’s face and her kind act foster a man like me now! And all those inspiring words like “Cease to struggle and you cease to live.” have been echoing in my mind as fresh as a daisy.续写范文2Paragraph 1“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. “The narrator’s part is every bit as important as the part of a princess.” Her constant encouragement filled me with pride but before the night of the performance, I suddenly felt nervous backstage. My teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give this to you,” she said, handing me a dandelion. Looking at It, I knew my mother was out there.Paragraph 2After the play, I took home the flower and my mother pressed it between two sheets of paper in a dictionary, laughing as she did it that, “we were perhaps the only people who would press such a sorry-looking weed.” After all these years, I often look back on our lunchtimes together, bathed in the soft midday light. For this, I am forever grateful, because smiles on mother’s face and her kind act foster a man like me now!
