    Joey is loyal, encouraging and self-sacrificing, always putting others’ interests ahead of his own. He is a hard worker, who also loves to run and play. In short, he’s an ideal friend and a heroic character.

    Here is the thing: Joey is a horse, who appears as the main character in Steven Spielberg’s new film War Horse.

    It is based on Michael Morpurgo’s 1982 novel, which also caused the same-titled Tony Awards winning play.

    The film follows the saga of Joey, a racehorse that’s trained for farm work under the loving care of Albert (Jeremy Irvine )after Albert’s drunk father Ted(Peter Mullan ) overpays for the animal at auction(拍卖会).

    Then the World War I tears Albert and Joey apart. Joey is sold into the war effort for the British and starts his episodic adventures in Europe.

    Splendidly staged, the battle plots in the film are visually astounding and impressive.

    And with Spielberg’s unique, top-notch direction and storytelling skills, War Horse cannot escape its episodic nature, calling to mind another Spielberg film about the horrors of war and its effects upon soldiers and civilians—Saving Private Ryan.

    While that film shocked with horrific scenes of bleeding, it relied on a company of easily-described characters and a focused storyline to present heroic themes.

    Like Saving Private Ryan, War Horse clings to a series of characters, not only Albert, but also British officers, French civilians and German soldiers, who display courage in the face of danger. Everyone who comes in contact with Joey is either already in touch with their inner angel or is quickly moved to become more humane.

    Although none of this covers the fact that we’ve seen this stuff elsewhere before, the lovely sentiment will steal your heart.

    And the emotional signature of Spielberg can be felt as he establishes the relationship between the boy and the horse and the mood of the piece – there will be tears.

    Therefore, calling this beautiful, dramatically incomplete film “ Saving Private Joey”, is entirely justifiable.

    56. In common with “ Saving Private Ryan”, the film  War Horse _________ .

    A. is full of terrifying scenes of bleeding and killing

    B. received the title of Tony Awards Winning Play

    C. covers a lot of characters

    D. tells the story happening in the Second World War

    57. Which statement is true according to the passage?

    A. War Horse is based on the same-titled novel by Steven Spielberg.

    B. Joey is a heroic character because he saved many people’s lives.

    C. Albert sold Joey into the war effort for Europe.

    D. Joey came to Albert’s care after Ted paid a lot of money for it.

    58. According to the passage, what does the underlined word astounding mean?

    A. astonishing        B. confusing         C. satisfying       D. disappointing

    59. What is the best title for the passage?

    A. Joey ─ a heroic race horse             B. Albert and Joey

    C. Saving Private Joey                  D. Spielberg’s Joey

    War Horse is a historical story by Michael Morpurgo. It is written for kids ages 8 to 12. Now just sit and get through the introduction to the plot.

    In 1914, a young horse named Joey is sold to a farmer. The farmer' s son, Albert, is thrilled. He cares for Joey. When the family begins to feel the financial impact of war, Albert' s father secretly sells Joey to an army officer named Captain Nicholls. Albert begs the captain to let him join the army. Albert is too young, but Nicholls promises to take good care of Joey for him.

    Nicholls treats Joey well. Though Joey still remembers Albert, he grows to like his new master. He develops a friendship with another horse, Topthorn., who belongs to Nicholls' friend, Captain Stewart. The horses and men are shipped overseas for battle. They soon face their own battle in France, and Captain Nicholls is killed.

    A young soldier named Warren becomes Joey’s new owner. Joey and Topthorn do well in battle, but the Germans capture Warren and Stewart and their horses. The horses' duty of pulling carts full of wounded German soldiers earns them praise. An old farmer and his granddaughter, Emilie, dote on the horses as well. When the German army moves out of the area, Emilie and her grandfather keep the two horses. Joey and Topthorn are content to work the farm until another band of soldiers takes them. They become workhorses under bad conditions. Joey is very upset when Topthorn dies of exhaustion.

    Alone and frightened, Joey wanders into "no-man's-land” between the German and English camps. An English soldier takes him back to camp.

    Joey is reunited with Albert. As the war ends, Albert' s officer announces the horses will be sold in France. An old Frenchman buys Joey. The man, Emilie' s grandfather, tells Albert how Emilie lost the will to live after the horses were taken. However, he eventually sells Joey to Albert for one penny, as long as Albert promises to share Emilie' s story so her life will not be in vain. Joey and Albert return home.

    1.Why does Albert's father secretly sell Joey?

    A．Because he’s in need of money.

    B．Because Captain Nicholls is fond of Joey.

    C．Because Albert is too young to care for Joey.

    D．Because he believes Joey will contribute to the country.

    2.Which of the following is TRUE about Captain Nicholls?

    A．He’s a rich man.

    B．He’s a Frenchman.

    C．He’s a man of his word.

    D．He doesn’t win Joey’s trust.

    3.The underlined phrase "dote on" in Paragraph 4 probably means ____.

    A．train             B．ride              C．raise             D．love

    4.Which of the following words can be used to describe Emilie’s grandfather?

    A．Brave.            B．Generous.         C．Hardworking.       D．Humorous.

    科目：高中英语 来源：2011-2012学年广东省高三上学期10月月考英语试题 题型：阅读理解

    Few of us haven’t read Cinderella, the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone’s heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity(默默无闻).

    Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.

    Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer, Joey Parker, appears.

    Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable. Mary and Joey’s paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked(邪恶的) stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn’t get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.

    The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.

    “The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point,” writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson. “The focus is firmly on following your dream.”

    1.The first paragraph is mainly to ____________.

    A．build interest and lead us to Mary’s secret dream

    B．remind us why Cinderella is popular all the years

    C．inform us of the main topic of the whole passage

    D．tell us how interesting the fairy tale Cinderella is

    2.In the movie, Mary Santiago is the main character who _____________.

    A．is brave in expressing her love

    B．is attended badly by the stepmother

    C．has a dream of meeting a prince

    D．is embarrassed by the pop singer

    3. What can we infer from the passage?

    A．Joey is just like other boys in Mary’s class.

    B．Mary’s mother influences her a lot in singing.

    C．Not many people have a dream to be realized.

    D．The MP3 player helps Joey in finding Mary.

    4.The passage is mainly about ___________.

    A．an introduction to a film

    B．a review about a film

    C．an essay about dreams

    D．an advertisement of Cinderella

    5.According to the passage, Another Cinderella Story ________.

    A．follows Cinderella with nothing new

    B．pays more attention to the looks of the actors

    C．encourages young people to follow their dreams

    D．focuses more on materialism than other films
