Passage 1
Jatenderpal Singh Bhullar, 25, is a guardsman in Britain. On Dec 11, 2012, he became the first Indian soldier to parade outside Buckingham Palace. He said wearing a turban instead of the famous bearskin was "the best moment of his life".
The historical day came as the UK's 2011 census was published. It shows nearly one in seven of the population in 2011 were foreign-born.
The increase in the number of immigrants in the country is especially obvious in London. For the first time in history fewer than half the population of London described themselves as "White British".
The top source of new immigrants to the country is India. Many other immigrants are from Poland, Pakistan, Ireland and Germany.
One major reason for the explosion in the foreign-born population is the accession of 12 countries in the central and eastern Europe to the EU, giving them the right to live and work in the UK, said the office for National statistics, which was responsible for the census.
For many immigrants the UK tends to be a good place for life and work. Kissy Meyer, 25,moved to Nottingham from Germany in 2007.
"The UK is a great place to live because everyone is so sociable. Apart from the heavy drinking, I love the outgoing lifestyle." She told The Sun.
The census results also suggested the English language could be a barrier for immigrants trying to integrate into British society. In 91 percent of households, English is the main language spoken. However, in four percent of British families, no one is brought up speaking English.
"Britain needs to do more to help integrate its immigrant population," the Labor leader Ed Miliband said in a speech in London on Dec 14, 2012.
The future labor government would make proficiency in the English language a key priority,seeking to achieve what he calls a "connected nation" rather than a "segregated one".
"We can only converse if we can speak the same language, so if we are going to build one nation, we need to start with everyone in Britain knowing how to speak English," he said.
It can be inferred that the guardsmen who parade outside Buckingham Palace__________.
A.are mostly foreign-born

Passage 2
Crash. Shatter. Boom. Crash. Shatter. Boom. Smattering of silly dialogue. Pretty girl screams:
"Dad! " Crash. Shatter. Boom. Silly dialogue. "DAD!!! " Crash. Shatter. Boom.
What? Oh, sorry. We were falling into a trance there.
Which is, dear moviegoer, what may happen to you during Michael Bay's Transformers: Age of Extinction, the fourth Transformers film and lasts 165 minutes, which is precariously close to the three-hour mark that Bay undoubtedly will reach--by our sophisticated calculations, and at the current growth rate, with his sixth installment.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Despite what you've just read, this film will likely be a massive hit because by now, if you're buying a Transformers ticket, you surely know what you're getting into, and you want more, more, more. And Bay is the Master of More.
Or just take it from the l 1-year-old sitting next to me, who reserved any audible judgment--he, too was in a trance, though maybe from sugar intake--until the moment he saw a Transformer become a dinosaur. Overwhelmed by the pairing, he proclaimed, "That's the sickest thing I've ever seen in my life." It was as if peanut butter and jelly had been tasted together for the first time.
This time, there's a whole new human cast. Most important, Mark Wahlberg has replaced Shia LaBeouf as well, Main Human Guy.
A significant part of the movie also takes place in China--clearly a nod to the franchise's huge market in the country.
In any case, we begin in Paris, Texas, where Cade Yeager (Wahlberg), a struggling inventor, is desperately seeking a big discovery. He's also a widowed dad, and super-protective (as the movie incessantly reminds us) of his high-school daughter, Tessa (Nicola Peltz, blond and pretty and ineffective, though the one-note script does her no favours).
One day, Cade buys a rusty old truck. Examining it back home, he soon discovers it's none other than Optimus Prime, the Autobot hero, seriously damaged.
As Cade works on fixing him up, his assistant, wisecracking surfer-dude Lucas, has the dumb idea of calling the authorities. What he doesn't know is that the government is plotting to destroy all remaining Autobots in favour of a man-made army of Transformers. He's being helped in this endeavour by the shadowy KSI Corporation, run by the nasty-but-complicated Joshua Joyce (Stanley Tucci).
So now, it's evil humans that pitted against the trustworthy Autobots. So much for gratitude.
There's also a subplot involving Tessa and her secret boyfriend, Shane (Jack Reynor, underused),whose Irish accent leads Cade to dismissively call him "Lucky Charms"--at least until the two bond in battle.
The obvious question: Is it too much for its own good? Bay is very talented at all things visual,the 3-13 works well and the robots look great. But the final confrontation alone lasts close to an hour. At some point, you may find yourself simply in a daze, unable to absorb any further action into your brain.
What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A.The girl can't understand the movie she was seeing.
B.The girl felt scared about the movie she was seeing.
C.The movie the girl seeing was very thrilling.
D.The girl couldn't find her father.
27、What does the word "trance" (Para. 2) mean?
A.Unconsciousness.
B.Fascination.
C.Scare.
D.Confusion.
28、What did the author mean by saying "... and you want more, more, more. And Bay is the Master of More." (Para. 4)?
A.The audiences are hard to satisfy.
B.Bay is good at producing massive hit.
C.Only Bay can bring audience massive hit.
D.Bay knows about the audience's mind.
29、What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.The audiences don't like the final confrontation.
B.The disadvantages of Transformers 4 are more obvious than advantages.
C.Putting into too much what the director skilled poses negative effect.
D.The director Bay only focuses on the 3-D works.
30、Which of the following statement is wrong?
A.The sixth Transformer may last for 3 hours.
B.The government in the movie wants to set up a man-made army of Transformers.
C.In the movie, KSI Corporation stands by the government.
