【题目】Movie makers at one time worried that they might be put out of business by television. Recently, however, more and more people have been going to the movies. This may be partly because the economic situation in America has worsened. When at the movies, people forget their troubles, as they get involved in the story on the screen. Also, directors have recently been producing pictures that large numbers of people want to see.

Americans in the millions are returning to their love affairs with the movies. Motion picture industry experts see two main factors responsible for this: an increased need by Americans to escape from economic worries and a large number of new movies with broad audience appeal.

Movie makers admit that their rising popularity is partly the result of poor economic conditions, which traditionally bring an increase in theatre attendance. "When people are fearful about the future, they look for escape, "comments Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America. "In a shaded theatre, with a 65-foot screen, you lose yourself for two and a half hours and people find this beneficial."

【1】 What did movie makers worry about before?

A. That they couldn't have enough money to make films.

B. That they couldn't find good actors.

C. That their movies might be played on television.

D. That people preferred watching TV to seeing films.

【2】Why are so many people going to see movies now?

A. Because people now have much more money.

B. Because people don't have any other entertainment.

C. Because people want to escape from real life.

D. Because watching movies is now much cheaper than watching TV.

【3】The main topic of American movies is about __ .

A. economy

B. love

C. tradition

D. not mentioned

A. Because America's economy is bad and people want to escape from their economic worries.

B. Because a large number of new movies have broad audience appeal.

D. Because the films are worth seeing and are excellent motion pictures.

【题目】【2016年高考天津卷】2016年是莎士比亚逝世400周年，为纪念这位戏剧大师，某剧院策划了系列演出活动。请为该活动拟写一条宣传语。

【题目】I never thought I would have a life-changing experience at Wal-Mart.

Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasn't moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier.

There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, he's an old guy!

For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were the usual, "How's it going?" But he did something different - he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.

I thought it was odd. I have grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don't give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, "I just found out I have six months to live," and someone would reply, "Have a great day!"

But that wasn't the end.

He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked at the customers' eyes. "I do want to thank you for shopping here today, "he told them." Have a great day. Bye-bye."

The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture that they never expected. They would gather their things and

walk out, smiling. Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name, Marty.

Who was that guy? It was as if Sam Walton had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy's body.

I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.

【1】The checkout line the writer was standing in moved slower than expected because __

A. they don't really care what you may answer

B. they are just practising their conversation ability

C. they are inquiring about your private information

D. they don't expect to hear any negative answers

【3】 What was most customers' reactivity on Marty's behaviours?

A. They thought it priceless.

B. They were in some way moved.

C. They thought it awful and odd.

D. They felt somewhat offended.

【4】 What can we infer about Sam Walton?

A. He might be Marty's father or grandfather.

B. He might be friendly and devoted to Wal-Mart.

C. He might have died while working in the market.

D. He might have come back from the dead once before.

【5】 What does the writer intend to express through the text?

A. Our everyday life is always full of surprises.

B. Most customers enjoy being treated this way.

C. Being different is a good way of doing business.

D. A little positive action can make a big difference.
