It’s only 34 centimeters tall but, as the highest honor in the world of cinema, an Oscar is worth its weight in gold.
Just saying its name draws up images of red carpets, bubbling champagne(冒泡的香槟), beautiful stars and, most importantly of all, success.
When the 76th Academy Awards were presented this morning in Los Angeles U. S. , the winners became headline news across the world just as the first Academy Awards. Organized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the first Academy Awards ceremony took place at a Holly-wood hotel on May 16, 1929. All the guests knew who had won in advance; the present system of keeping it a secret until the envelope is opened was introduced in 1941.
The trophy(奖品) is the figure of a knight(骑士) holding a sword. The first awards were solid bronze but a metal shortage during World War Ⅱ meant the trophies were made of plaster(石膏) for a while. Nowadays, the figures are made of metal and given an outer coating of gold.
Officially known as the Academy Award of Merit, it isn’t clear where the nickname(昵称) Oscar came from. One popular explanation is that an Academy librarian said it looked like her uncle Oscar and the name just stuck.
The timing of the ceremony has only been disturbed on three occasions. The first was in 1938 when serious floods in Los Angeles delayed the awards by one week. Then in 1968 the ceremony was moved from April 8 to April 10 out of respect for Dr. Martin Luther King, who had been assassinated (暗杀) a few days earlier. Another assassination—a failed attempt on President Ronald Reagan—saw the Oscars delayed by 24 hours in 1981.
1. When an actor/actress wins a reward of Oscar, he /she__________.
A. can receive a trophy made of pure gold
B. will receive many rewards
C. values the recognition of performance
D. knows it before the Awards ceremony takes place
2. The first Academy Awards ceremony took place on May 16, 1929, __________.
A. which many actors/actresses showed no interest in them
B. which was a shock to the world
C. which had all the well-known performers throughout the world
D. where each of the winners were given a sword
3. The Trophies were once made of plaster to__________.
A. cut costs
B. make them easy to keep
C. solve the problem of metal shortage
D. attract people’s attention
4. The latest delay of the ceremony was due to __________.
A. serious floods
B. the murder of Martin Luther King
C . a failed assassination on Ronald Reagan
D. some unknown reasons
5. When writing the passage, the author__________.
A. is dreaming of being a winner of Oscar
B. is trying to tell people more about the stories about Oscar
C. has found out how Oscar got its name
D. is not interested in the ceremony of Oscar

President Barack Obama nominated (提名) Utah governor Jon Huntsman as ambassador (大使) to China on May 16.
Huntsman, 49, is the son of a Utah multimillionaire (千万富翁). He served as ambassador to Singapore under former president George H.W. Bush. In 2004, he became the governor of Utah and was elected for a second term in 2008.
The governor has strong ties to China: He lived in Taiwan when he was a teenager and speaks fluent Chinese. One of his daughters was adopted (收养) from China. His family also has business ties with China through Huntsman Corp, a chemical company. It has operations (动作) in the country including a factory in Shanghai.
Huntsman’s nomination has been met with praise in both countries.
“Jon Huntsman is a well-regarded politician (政治家) in the US…… his experience as ambassador to Singapore and his knowledge of China, plus his wonderful Chinese language skills singled him out from the large number of candidates,” Dai Min, president of the US-based Center for America-China Partnership (中美合作中心), told China Daily.
Obama appointed Huntsman “in order to seek China’s help and cooperation” on several international and regional issues, said Yuan Peng, professor of American Studies at the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations (中国现代国际关系研究院).
Some people say that President Obama’s decision to name John Huntsman is a well thought out political strategy. Huntsman is a big player in the Republican Party, and a possible presidential candidate for 2012. If he really has joined the Obama administration, he has lost that possibility. Now, when Obama kicks off his re-election campaign, “ambassador” Huntsman won’t be a threat.
64.The nomination of Huntsman won praise on both sides for the following reasons EXCEPT that _________.
A. he has business ties with China
B. he can speak Chinese fluently
C. he is a very experienced politician
D. he knows China very well
65.Which of the following facts about Huntsman is NOT true ?
A. He was once ambassador to Singapore.
B. He was elected governor of Utah twice.
C. He has served two presidents as governor.
D. He spent part of his youth in Taiwan.
66.From the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that ____________.
A. Obama considers China America’s top trade partner.
B. By choosing Huntsman, Obama kills two birds with one stone.
C. Huntsman will probably run for president in 2012.
D. Huntsman will settle several international and regional issues.
