Ever since he got into the Hong Kong film industry in 1994 with He’s a Woman, She’s a Man, Hong Kong director, Peter Chan has been one of the industry’s most powerful voices. Later in 1996, another milestone Comrades: Almost a Love Story came into being. Chan’s latest film, American Dreams in China is a carefully-calculated film with an eye toward opening the mainland cinema market.
American Dreams in China is a film purely for Chinese audiences, but how it plays there remains to be seen. It sends the right messages, but whether that’s enough to make it a hit is everyone’s guess. Mainland audiences aren’t quite that easy to “speak” to.
The film began during the period of economic reforms in China in the 1980s. The bookish farm boy Cheng Dongqing (Huang Xiaoming), the ambitious and confident boy Meng Xiaojun (Deng Chao) and the poetic Wang Yang(Tong Dawei), were three friends at university in Beijing and preparing for American visa interviews. Wang was the first to be granted the visa but he gave it up for his western girlfriend, and Cheng was repeatedly denied. Only Meng actually got a study visa. As he was leaving, he told his friends that he wouldn’t come back.
Several years later, Cheng and Wang built a successful school, New Dream, from the ashes of Cheng’s misfortune(his girlfriend got a visa too, and Cheng lost his university teaching job) and Wang’s ability to connect with students often through Hollywood movies. In America, Meng suffered a lot. Disappointed, he went home and joined his friends at New Dream. Later, the three friends’ relationship became worsened, but finally was improved under the weight of their common goals.
小题1:Which of the following films made Peter Chan a most influential director in Hong Kong?

A．American Dreams in China

B．Comrades: Almost a Love Story

C．New Dream

D．He’s a Woman, She’s a Man

小题2:The underlined word “granted” (in paragraph 3) probably means “_________”.

小题3:When the three men made preparations for American visa interviews, how many was/were offered a visa?

A．None

B．One.

C．Three.

D．Two

小题4:What led Cheng and Wang to start a business?

A．The connection with Hollywood movies.

B．The weight of their common goals.

C．Cheng’s misfortune and Wang’s ability.

D．Meng’s disappointment and sufferings.

小题1:D

Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
AVOID BIG EVENTS　Big sporting events，concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room.A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost￡169.15 at Booking.com.A week later，the same room cost￡118.15.
If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid－or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time－check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com，which allow you to search for events in the UK by city，date and category.
STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION　If traveling to your destination by train，you may want to find a good base close to the station，but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.
Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in.Booking two months in advance，the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was￡95.95.A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was￡75.75.And at Farringdon，a double room cost just￡62.95.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF　Really central hotels in cities such as London，Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune，especially at weekends and during big events.As an alternative consider checking into a selfcatering flat with its own kitchen.Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings.A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile，available for￡420 for five days in late September，with room for four adults.
GET ON A BIKE　London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention，but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace，saving you on public transport or car parking costs.
Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around￡1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes，or￡5 per day)．
小题1:The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may________.

A．help travelers pass time

科目：高中英语 来源：不详 题型：阅读理解

There are some topics that readers never grow bored with, and the search for a suitable partner（伴侣） is one of them. Pride and Prejudice（傲慢与偏见）by Jane Austen, first published in 1813, tells the story of five young women, all of whom are looking for a husband. In order to fully understand the novel, the readers must know that at the time when Jane Austen was writing, if a family was not rich, the daughters needed to marry well in order to live a comfortable, independent life. That is the reason why Mrs Bennet, the mother of the five girls, is so eager to have her daughters married.
The heroine of the story is Elizabeth Bennet, and as in all good romantic novels, she and Darcy, the man she finally marries, remain separate until the very end of the story. The wealthy Darcy is a proud, unsociable man, and when Elizabeth hears that he has insulted（侮辱） both her and her family, she dislikes him very much. Poor Darcy then falls head over heels in love with Elizabeth, and has to work terribly hard to persuade her to change her mind about him. He succeeds of course, and they live happily ever after.
Set at the turn of the 19th century, the novel is still attractive to modern readers. It has become one of the most popular novels and receives great attention from literary scholars（学者）.Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramas（戏剧）and a lot of novels and stories modeling(模仿) after Austen’s memorable (难忘的)characters or themes. To date, the book has sold some 20 million copies worldwide.
Jane Austen is rightly famous for her style. Her sentences have a wonderful rhythm（韵律）, and she makes such clever, true comments about people. It is not surprising that Pride and Prejudice has lasted.
小题1:In the 19th century, a poor girl in Britain was often encouraged to .

A．master the skills of writing	B．marry the one she loved
C．change her life by marrying rich	D．obey her parents

小题2:What do we know about Elizabeth and Darcy?

A．They both come from poor families and wish to marry rich.

B．They’ve experienced ups and downs but get married in the end.

C．They get separated from each other shortly after being married.

D．Darcy falls over and gets hurt but Elizabeth still loves him.

小题3: According to the passage, Pride and Prejudice _________.

A．inspired many other novels and many plays have been produced based on it.

B．was first published in 1813 and sold 20 million copies soon

C．tells a sad love story which moves generations of readers

D．is set at the turn of the 19th century and not well received worldwide

Although in the 17th century in the United States fine art and folk art had similar qualities, a difference between them began to appear as time went on in the 18th and 19th centuries artists with ambition studied abroad and came back to paint portraits(肖像) of upper-class families in American society. The less ambitious or less fortunate artists traveled around their own areas and created pictures of countryside society. Anyway, artists got trained and those simple creations improved a lot.
Around 1930，folk art began to take on a new meaning and was considered as an expression of a small cultural class. Folk art is never the product of art movements, but comes out of craft traditions. This art is based not on measurements or calculations and rarely goes with the standards of realism. It goes straight to the bases of art which the folk artists feel naturally.
The period 1930~ 1960 was the time when folk artists began to receive recognition. They often began their art careers late in life and used art as an outlet（出口） for their energy. Their materials were cheap and simple, their subjects were different, but their creativity flowed. Doing their own things became the norm（标准）, and was what made folk art so desirable.
Although it is hard to define folk art, one thing is certain --- it touches us in a special way because the artists show us how he or she brought beauty into their everyday life. Since folk artists come from all walks of life, each piece of art created is one of a kind, emphasizing color, simplicity of line and brave, simple form. Most importantly, it exemplifies（作为…的例子） the history of American life.
小题1:What similar qualities did folk art and fine art probably have in the 17th century?

A．They were both simple creations.

B．The artists of both focused on family life.

C．The artists of both came from the lower class.

D．They were both gifted creations by trained artists.

小题2: What was folk art around 1930 based on according to the second paragraph?

A．The traditions of the upper class.

B．The progress of art in that period.

C．The standards of realism.

D．The feelings of the artists.

小题3:Which of the following statements can be used to describe the works of folk artists?

A．They are difficult to understand.

B．They help artists let out their energy.

C．They show pictures of unreal life.

D．They are similar to one another.

小题4:Why did folk art become popular during the period from 1930 to 1960?

A．It offered artists the freedom of expression.

B．Artists didn’t need to spend much on materials.

C．Other kinds of art couldn’t express the beauty of life.

D．Artists could express their dissatisfaction towards society.

小题5:The author’s purpose in writing the text is to ___________.

What’s a “gift”? If you look it up in the dictionary, you’ll see that it’s another word for a present. For example, “They brought him some gifts.” However, if you’re German, “gift” means something completely different: poison!
This word “gift” is an example of a false friend--- a word that looks the same in two languages, but which actually has two different meanings. As English is basically a mixture of German, French and Latin, there are many words that are similar in these languages. For example, the English word “education” is “education” in Spanish. And the English words “word, book, nine, house” are “Wort, Buch, Neun, Haus” in german.
These similar-looking words can be very helpful when learning other languages --- they’re our “friends”. However, sometimes they can turn out or be “false friends”. Here are a few examples.
In English, someone who is “sensible” thinks before they act and shows good judgement. For example , “The sensible thing to do would be to consult a lawyer.” However, in Spanish, “sensible ” means “sensitive” (showing understanding of other people’s problems, needs or feelings).
The English word “coin” refers to a piece of money made of metal. For example, “I had a few coins in my pocket.” But the French word “coin” means “corner”.
The English word “library” is a place where you can go to borrow books. For example, “I borrowed six books from the library.” But the Spanish word “libreria” refers to a bookshop (where you buy books).
The English word “actually” means “in fact”. For example, “Actually I’m not Italian, I’m form American.” But the Spanish word “actualmente” means “currently” or “at the moment”.
Finally, the English word “embarrassed” means “ashamed”. For example, “They looked a bit embarrassed.” However, the Spanish term “embarazada” means “pregnant” (with a child).
小题1: We can learn from the first two paragraphs that English _______.

A．is easy to master

B．is simpler than Spanish

C．has a complex background

D．has changed greatly throughout history

小题2: Which of the following pairs of words are true friends according to the author?

A．Nine and Neun.	B．Library and libreria.
C．Actually and actualmente.	D．Embarrassed and embarazada.

小题3: According to the text, in Spanish ______.

A．“coin” means “corner”

B．“gift” refers to something negative

C．“educacion” simply means “book”

D．“sensible” doesn’t necessarily means “wise”

小题4: The author develops the text mainly by ______.

A．following the order of space	B．comparing different ideas
C．providing typical examples	D．analyzing the cause and effect
