Passage 1
(2024·江西南昌·二模)Plenty of critics have warned: don’t see the new French movie The Taste of Things on an empty stomach. The actress Juliette Binoche 1 a longtime personal cook for a man who’s a gourmand(喜欢吃喝的人). They share a(n) 2 for food. Filled with glorious meals, the film celebrates food, and all the work and love that go into making it.
When you see a delicious meal in a movie or an advertisement, chances are that it’s 3 . Food stylists have been known to substitute glue for milk and 4 meat with motor oil so it shines. All that is a big “No” for Vietnamese French director Tran Anh Hung. He says he wanted “everything” in The Taste of Things “to be real”, from the raw 5 to the menu to the way the cooks 6 in the kitchen.
Easier said than done. Real food can’t always handle 7 takes. Plus Tran needed to show 8 at different stages of preparation. He also had to find vegetables that looked like they were 9 in the field.
After doing 10 research into the history of French cuisine and working with a(n) 11 , Tran enlisted Gagnaire to make sure the menu worked in real life. Gagnaire also cooked for Tran for five days so the director could study his movements 12 filming. Tran says watching Gagnaire move around the kitchen 13 him that “simplicity is important and you don’t need to have the perfect 14 for this or that”.
The Taste of Things does not have much dialogue. The action and the intimacy(亲密关系)are in the kitchen. “In life we have two sources of 15 . They are love and food.” Tran says. The film brings those two sources together in the kitchen.

Passage 2
(24-25高三上·天津武清·开学考试)Although it’s OK for characters from Disney animations to suddenly break into songs and dances in the middle of a conversation, it’d still be strange for “real life” actors to do the same, wouldn’t it? But the impromptu songs and dances are what La La Land — a musical film — is all about.
This formula of dancing and singing worked surprisingly well. The film opened last year’s Venice Film Festival, won a record- breaking seven Golden Globes in January, and it already has 14 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Costume Design. La La Land was released in China on February 14, 2017.
But why is it that a musical is making history all of a sudden? It’s believed that the current social climate is driving people toward light- hearted entertainment for relief — especially movies like La La Land, which tells a simple “boy meets girl” story. The tale takes place in ever- sunny Los Angeles, where everything is painted in a positive light, which may be charming for those looking to escape the world for a short while.
“This was the only time for me since November 8 that I was successfully able to shut out all thoughts of’ Trump World’ for over two hours,” wrote The Guardian’s editor John Patterson. “La La Land, if only for a while, quite rid me of anger, cynicism and anxiety.”
This is not hard to understand if you think about the last time musical films had their moment of glory. It was more than half a century ago, back in the 1930s through the 1950s, when the Great Depression hit the US.
“Politicians often allotted Hollywood the task of ’ cheering Americans up’ during the Depression, hoping that the entertainment industry could play a key role in distracting Americans from the horrors of the economic downfall,” wrote Sydney Huber on the blog Music During the Great Depression.
Though it is a musical with a dream-like atmosphere, La La Land has its fair share of realism. The “boy meets girl” story doesn’t end in a happily-ever-after way. Instead, they have to make a choice between their relationship and their careers, like many couples in the real world.
“There is a modern energy to it,” Damien Chazelle, the film’s director, told The Independent. “It was fun to take certain characteristics from fifties musicals, but put them in a modern city and film them in a modern way, and see what resulted from that.”

Passage 3
(2021·天津十二区重点校·一模)Although it's weird for characters to suddenly break into songs and dances in the middle of a conversation, it still produces cheerful atmosphere for actors to do the same, doesn't it?

Passage 4
(20-21高三上·天津和平·期中)Starring Yi Yangqianxi and Lei Jiayin, new streaming series The Longest Day In Chang’an has been one of the biggest pleasant surprises for fans of TV dramas this summer. Its intense story and well-designed costumes and scenery have captured the attention of viewers, earning it high marks on review platforms.
The Chinese name of the drama is Chang’an 12 Shichen. Each episode covers half a shichen, or one hour of time, telling the story in “real time”. The show takes place during the Shangyuan Festival in Chang’an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty and what is now Xi’an. The story follows Zhang Xiaojing, who has been sentenced to death. Before his execution(死刑), he is appointed by Li Bi, the young chief of the intelligence department, to stop a group of foreign terrorists called the Wolves Squad and protect Chang’an.
One of the main attractions of the show has been its recreation and presentation of the ancient city of Chang’an. To give viewers the feeling that they are traveling in the city, the show’s director Cao Dun has been making use of single shot scenes that show off what the crowded market would have been like during the Lantern Festival in Chang’an. The cast(演员) has also been a major draw. They have been an irreplaceable part of the drama. These experienced actors are the foundation for the drama.
The drama takes license with history to introduce important plot elements, such as watch towers in the city that are manned by sharpshooters who can hit any target in their range. The production team even came up with a detailed secret communication system that these watch towers use to communicate with each other. Another innovation(革新) is the use on screen notes to explain terms that audiences would be unfamiliar with. Such as the term bu liang ren (Lit: not good person), which audiences may mistakenly think refers to a villain in the show. An explanation appears on screen to tell the audience that bu liang ren are specialists trained to catch bad guys. It’s really helpful.
1.Which of the following best describes the drama?
A.Humorous B.Attractive.
C.Academic. D.Boring.
2.According to Paragraph 2, what do we know about Zhang Xiaojing?
A.He is a follower of Li Bi.
B.He has been excused for his crime.
C.He is chosen to defeat the terrorists.
D.He once served in the intelligence department.
3.The show’s director uses the skill of single shot scenes in order to________.

C.help audiences understand the history well.
D.show what the Lantern Festival is like.
4.What does the term “bu liang ren” probably refer to?
A.Someone who is responsible for damage.
B.A person who acts against human principles.
C.A person who has particular skills to catch bad men.
D.Someone whose job is to protect people and their property.

Passage 1
(23-24高三上·天津北辰·阶段练习)If you like to laugh your head off, don’t miss “Mark Twain Live”, starring Mike Randall. Luckily, it will make a much anticipated return. This year, Randall is celebrating his 50th year of performing in his one-man show that brings America’s greatest author and humorist to life.
The bond between Mike Randall (born in 1953) and Mark Twain began when Randall started playing Mark Twain at the age of 17. At that time, Randall was a student at Rosary Hill College. At age 20, he performed at the State Department in Washington, D.C. , where John F. Kennedy gave his State of the Union address. And one year later, he brought his interpretation of the “Celebrated Humorist” to New York City.
Randall is the only Mark Twain impersonator (扮演者) to be formally acknowledged by the Daughters of the American Revolution for his impressive performance and the only Mark Twain actor to be a member of the famous National Speakers Association. “Mark Twain Live” is supported by the Mark Twain Museum of Buffalo. Randall is also the “official Mark Twain” of the Huck Finn Jubilee (an annual event), and the Annual Mark Twain Birthday Bash & Symposium.
In five decades of “being” Mark Twain, Randall has given more than 2,000 performances. To transform himself into Twain, Randall needs to spend over three hours at the make-up table. Removing all the make-up is more time-consuming and painful. But he never complains and tries to do well in every performance. Audiences nationwide agree that watching “Mark Twain Live” is a delightful experience, which brings Randall much motivation.
Randall is also brilliant in other areas. He recalled the person that was supposed to report the weather called in sick, so the director of WKBW-TV (a TV station in Buffalo) insisted he do it. “I have no choice but to accept the challenge,” Randall said. Afterwards, he signed a long-term contract with WKBW-TV. To do his job better, he received the approval from the National Weather Association. Also as an award-winning dramatist, Randall’s dramas have been produced at Buffalo’s Alleyway Theatre.

Passage 1
(24-25高三上·天津·阶段练习)A friend and I were exiting a meeting and caught some cigarette smoke from a passer-by. “You know,” I said, “I still crave cigarettes, even though I quit three decades ago.” He nodded and said, “I started smoking when I was 12. When I finally quit it 15 years ago, I’d turned 40. It looked so glamorous in those old Hollywood movies that we youth followed suit. It still does now. And like you, I still want to smoke, too.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a report about tobacco use in the top-grossing (票房收入最高的) movies. “Reducing tobacco use in youth-related movies could help prevent the initiation (开始) of tobacco use among young persons, especially those not suitable for children to watch without an adult,” said the report. And, although it found less smoking in G and PG movie s since 2010, tobacco use in PG-13-rated top-grossing films has increased by 43% since 2010. Those films are labeled “Parents strongly cautioned esp. for children under age 13”.
The Surgeon General (SG) website states, “The youth who are exposed to images of smoking in movies are more likely to smoke. Those who get the most exposure to onscreen smoking are about twice as likely to begin smoking as those who get the least exposure.” The SG has concluded that there is a causal relationship between smoking in the movies and “the initiation of smoking among young people”. America’s leading health organizations are now demanding that all movie producers and distributors slap (强制实行) an R rating on films that show smoking onscreen. Interestingly, they’ve indicated a possible exception for movies based on historical figures.
Really, it would be strange to watch a film about Franklin D.Roosevelt, Dwight D.Eisenhower, or Lyndon B.Johnson without showing a single cigarette. And can you imagine Winston Churchill without a cigar?
But who will decide when it’s necessary to include smoking in order to show history accurately? When will it matter enough for those in the entertainment business to risk receiving an R rating and losing millions at the box office?
1.The underlined word “crave” in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.
A.desire B.smoke C.hate D.carry
2.We can know that the author’s friend ______.
A.still smokes now and then B.is now forty years old or more
C.quit smoking earlier than the author D.began to smoke after seeing some films
3.PG movies refer to ______.
A.perfect grade movies B.parental guidance movies
C.program guidance movies D.public grade movies
4.The author thinks the exception for movies based on historical figures is ______.
A.inefficient B.unfair C.understandable D.absurd
5.In the last paragraph the author indicates that ______.
A.cleaning films is a good idea
B.historical movies are no exception
C.the entertainment movie should be an exception
D.smoking scenes in movies are not easily forbidden
Passage 2
(23-24高三上·天津·阶段练习)I have a strange and frequent dream in which I am assigned a lead role in a major musical production and eagerly agree to take it on — knowing I can’t sing or act my way out of a paper bag, and knowing I’d rather be anywhere but front and center onstage. The dream always ends before the production starts, to the benefit of my self-respect, the unlucky director’s reputation, and my potential audience—who no doubt would have fled at the first note.
I chalk it up to my one and only experience in such things, my high school’s production of South Pacific, a musical I’d so loved as a teen I could not resist auditioning (试镜) —not for a major role, but as one of the chorus of island women raising our arms in the background.
I was cast immediately, a fact I attribute (归功于) to my olive skin and then long black hair, which overcame any doubts the director might have had about my voice. I could pass as an islander. Not only that, but my mother sewed a skirt for me, a beautiful, vividly colored, and artful feat of sewing. The opening night was a triumph for all. But I haven’t set foot on a stage again.
In his elementary school years, my grandson took a shine to attending live theater with me. But he demurred when I suggested he audition for local children’s productions. “It’s not me,” he declared, even as one of his close friends went from a local stage production to a Broadway role.
But the source of these dreams, decades later, still confuses me. The dreams never give me a hint of why I’d been chosen for a starring role once in an Italian opera without having any singing or acting talent or even an audition, or why I’d decided to go for it, knowing I was completely unequipped and unprepared. I suspect (猜想) these dreams will get me as close to such a reality as I’ll ever be.
For now, I only hope I keep waking up before I have to try an opening note.
1.What can we know about the author from the first paragraph?
A.She has a gift for singing and performing.
B.She always acts as a lead role in musicals.
C.She prefers not to be a focus of attention.
D.She respects the director in performances.

4.What is the author doing now?
A.She is having a try-out for an opera. B.She is remembering an opening note.
C.She is preparing for an Italian opera. D.She is dreaming of being a star on stage.
5.What could we learn from the passage?
A.The author always had dreams.
B.The author succeeded in auditioning once as a teen.
C.The director had a doubt over the author.
D.The author’s grandson attended all the auditions.
Passage 3
(2022·天津和平·一模)Another year, another Nobel snub for every screenwriter there is. The Nobel Prize began in 1901, and 120 years later, no writer whose primary work is for the screen has been awarded the top literary prize on earth.
In some ways, this makes sense. When the first Nobels were awarded, movies were still a new art form. Even now, film and screenwriting generally aren’t taken as seriously as their more honored literary cousins.
But in other regards, screenplays are among the most-consumed forms of literature in existence, and movies are increasingly considered an outstanding art form. Moreover, the Swedish Academy’s Nobel Prize Committee has signaled its interest in awarding nontraditional forms of literature.
Of course, many writers who’ve won Nobel Prizes also wrote screenplays, but none of those honorees worked first and foremost as screenwriters. William Faulkner, for example, wrote dozens of movies for Hollywood studios, but he was cited by the Swedes specifically for his “powerful and artistically unique contribution to the modern American novel”. Kazuo Ishiguro, likewise an occasional screenwriter, was singled out for his “novels of great emotional force”. Even Peter Handke, whose literature award is the closest the Swedish Academy uses to honor a screenwriter, was recognized as one of the greatest novelists of his generation.
Some have argued screenwriting is simply too cooperative an art form for the Nobels to honor a single “author” of a film, especially since dialogue can be improvised by the actors on set. But fiction can also be wildly cooperative. It seems strange for screenwriters alone to be dismissed completely on this ground.
Perhaps it still comes down to seriousness. The Nobel Prize in Literature has changed over the years. No longer can it award writers without fear of criticism — either for being too obscure, or too crowd-pleasing, or too controversial, or otherwise just plain disappointing. People would roll their eyes if a lowly screenwriter won the most renowned literary award in the world.
Even so, it seems silly to give that explanation in 2021, when you can discover some of the year’s best writing on your TV After all, as film director Alfred Hitchcock once said, “To make a good film, you need three things: the scrip, the scrip, and the script.” And certainly, there have been good—great—films in the past 12 decades. Nobel recognition of their writers is long overdue.
1.What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.No screenwriter has been awarded the Nobel Prize.
B.Few literary prizes recognize the efforts of screenwriters.
C.Screenwriters have stayed as backstage heroes for a long time.
D.The Nobel Prize fails to consider screenplays as literary works.
2.Why does the author mention the three writers in paragraph 4?
A.To awaken readers’ passion for literature.
B.To make a comparison among literary giants.
C.To show each writer’s contribution to literature.
D.To stress their role as screenwriters was overlooked.
3.What reason for screenwriters’ being snubbed by the Nobel Prize does the author support?
A.A decline of excellent screenplays. B.The late start of the movie industry.
C.A lack of seriousness in screenwriting. D.The difficulty in identifying honorees.
4.What do we know about screenwriting from the passage?
A.Screenwriting came into existence long before movie did.
B.People would feel it annoying to award Nobel Prize to screenwriting.
C.Screenwriting as well as fiction has long been rejected in Nobel Prize.
D.Screenwriting has been awarded Nobel Prize in Literature several times.
5.What does the author intend to show in the last paragraph?
A.Screenplays have improved a lot over the years.
B.Good screenplays can still be found on television.
C.The script determines the stand or fall of a movie.
D.Good screenwriters should receive Nobel recognition.

【材料来源:China Daily February 5, 2025】
China's film market is off to a strong start in 2025, with box office pre-sales for the Spring Festival reaching 736 million yuan as of Monday noon, fueling optimism about the performance of the world's second-largest film market this year.
The martial arts epic Legends of the Condor Heroes: The Gallants, adapted from the classic novel by renowned Chinese author Jin Yong, also known as Louis Cha, vividly portrays both heroic bravery and heartfelt emotion, according to Tsui Hark, the director. Fu Ruoqing, producer and chairman of China Film Group, expressed hope that the film will not only recapture the classic charm of martial arts stories but also usher in the Chinese New Year with a spirit of righteousness for the Chinese people.
Ne Zha 2, the sequel to the 2019 animated blockbuster Ne Zha, is said to feature breathtaking epic battles that will raise the bar for both animated and live-action films.

Passage 2
(24-25高三上·天津武清·开学考试)Although it’s OK for characters from Disney animations to suddenly break into songs and dances in the middle of a conversation, it’d still be strange for “real life” actors to do the same, wouldn’t it? But the impromptu songs and dances are what La La Land — a musical film — is all about.
This formula of dancing and singing worked surprisingly well. The film opened last year’s Venice Film Festival, won a record- breaking seven Golden Globes in January, and it already has 14 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Costume Design. La La Land was released in China on February 14, 2017.
But why is it that a musical is making history all of a sudden? It’s believed that the current social climate is driving people toward light- hearted entertainment for relief — especially movies like La La Land, which tells a simple “boy meets girl” story. The tale takes place in ever- sunny Los Angeles, where everything is painted in a positive light, which may be charming for those looking to escape the world for a short while.
“This was the only time for me since November 8 that I was successfully able to shut out all thoughts of’ Trump World’ for over two hours,” wrote The Guardian’s editor John Patterson. “La La Land, if only for a while, quite rid me of anger, cynicism and anxiety.”
This is not hard to understand if you think about the last time musical films had their moment of glory. It was more than half a century ago, back in the 1930s through the 1950s, when the Great Depression hit the US.
“Politicians often allotted Hollywood the task of ’ cheering Americans up’ during the Depression, hoping that the entertainment industry could play a key role in distracting Americans from the horrors of the economic downfall,” wrote Sydney Huber on the blog Music During the Great Depression.
Though it is a musical with a dream-like atmosphere, La La Land has its fair share of realism. The “boy meets girl” story doesn’t end in a happily-ever-after way. Instead, they have to make a choice between their relationship and their careers, like many couples in the real world.
“There is a modern energy to it,” Damien Chazelle, the film’s director, told The Independent. “It was fun to take certain characteristics from fifties musicals, but put them in a modern city and film them in a modern way, and see what resulted from that.”
1.According to the author, what would be strange for “real life” actor to do?
A.Sing and dance in a musical movie. B.Start singing and dancing while talking.
C.Do voice acting for Disney animations. D.Act like characters in Disney animations.
2.Why does the author mention the awards and nominations that La La Land had?
A.To recommend that people should watch the film.
B.To compare La La Land with other successful films.
C.To show that the film is successful with its special formula.
D.To support that the actors act extraordinarily well in the film.
3.What can be learned from John Patterson’s words in paragraph 4?
A.He was inspired to think about the current social climate her watching the film.
B.He was absent-minded and unable to think about anything when watching the film.
C.He was upset, anxious and even angry when watching La La Land.
D.He was free from anger and anxiety when watching La La Land.
4.What can be inferred from Damien Chazelle’s remarks in the last paragraph?
A.He was interested in filming modern musicals by adding in elements from the fifties.
B.He was the director of many successful musicals in the fifties.
C.He was confident that fifties musicals would become popular again.
D.He was going to make some musicals different from those in the past.
5.What does the text mainly talk about?
A.La La Land was a big success and re- popularized musical films.
B.Light-hearted entertainment gives people relief from depressing situations.
C.There are similarities between the musical films nowadays and those in the 1950s.
D.People managed to escape the “Trump world” for a short time.

Passage 4
(20-21高三上·天津和平·期中)Starring Yi Yangqianxi and Lei Jiayin, new streaming series The Longest Day In Chang’an has been one of the biggest pleasant surprises for fans of TV dramas this summer. Its intense story and well-designed costumes and scenery have captured the attention of viewers, earning it high marks on review platforms.
The Chinese name of the drama is Chang’an 12 Shichen. Each episode covers half a shichen, or one hour of time, telling the story in “real time”. The show takes place during the Shangyuan Festival in Chang’an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty and what is now Xi’an. The story follows Zhang Xiaojing, who has been sentenced to death. Before his execution(死刑), he is appointed by Li Bi, the young chief of the intelligence department, to stop a group of foreign terrorists called the Wolves Squad and protect Chang’an.
One of the main attractions of the show has been its recreation and presentation of the ancient city of Chang’an. To give viewers the feeling that they are traveling in the city, the show’s director Cao Dun has been making use of single shot scenes that show off what the crowded market would have been like during the Lantern Festival in Chang’an. The cast(演员) has also been a major draw. They have been an irreplaceable part of the drama. These experienced actors are the foundation for the drama.
The drama takes license with history to introduce important plot elements, such as watch towers in the city that are manned by sharpshooters who can hit any target in their range. The production team even came up with a detailed secret communication system that these watch towers use to communicate with each other. Another innovation(革新) is the use on screen notes to explain terms that audiences would be unfamiliar with. Such as the term bu liang ren (Lit: not good person), which audiences may mistakenly think refers to a villain in the show. An explanation appears on screen to tell the audience that bu liang ren are specialists trained to catch bad guys. It’s really helpful.
1.Which of the following best describes the drama?
A.Humorous B.Attractive.
C.Academic. D.Boring.
2.According to Paragraph 2, what do we know about Zhang Xiaojing?
A.He is a follower of Li Bi.
B.He has been excused for his crime.
C.He is chosen to defeat the terrorists.
D.He once served in the intelligence department.
3.The show’s director uses the skill of single shot scenes in order to________.
A.make viewers feel personally on the scene.
B.let audiences have a good trip in Chang’an.
C.help audiences understand the history well.
D.show what the Lantern Festival is like.
4.What does the term “bu liang ren” probably refer to?
A.Someone who is responsible for damage.
B.A person who acts against human principles.
C.A person who has particular skills to catch bad men.
D.Someone whose job is to protect people and their property.
5.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The explanation for screen notes.
B.The innovation elements of the drama.

Passage 1
(23-24高三上·天津北辰·阶段练习)If you like to laugh your head off, don’t miss “Mark Twain Live”, starring Mike Randall. Luckily, it will make a much anticipated return. This year, Randall is celebrating his 50th year of performing in his one-man show that brings America’s greatest author and humorist to life.
The bond between Mike Randall (born in 1953) and Mark Twain began when Randall started playing Mark Twain at the age of 17. At that time, Randall was a student at Rosary Hill College. At age 20, he performed at the State Department in Washington, D.C. , where John F. Kennedy gave his State of the Union address. And one year later, he brought his interpretation of the “Celebrated Humorist” to New York City.
Randall is the only Mark Twain impersonator (扮演者) to be formally acknowledged by the Daughters of the American Revolution for his impressive performance and the only Mark Twain actor to be a member of the famous National Speakers Association. “Mark Twain Live” is supported by the Mark Twain Museum of Buffalo. Randall is also the “official Mark Twain” of the Huck Finn Jubilee (an annual event), and the Annual Mark Twain Birthday Bash & Symposium.
In five decades of “being” Mark Twain, Randall has given more than 2,000 performances. To transform himself into Twain, Randall needs to spend over three hours at the make-up table. Removing all the make-up is more time-consuming and painful. But he never complains and tries to do well in every performance. Audiences nationwide agree that watching “Mark Twain Live” is a delightful experience, which brings Randall much motivation.
Randall is also brilliant in other areas. He recalled the person that was supposed to report the weather called in sick, so the director of WKBW-TV (a TV station in Buffalo) insisted he do it. “I have no choice but to accept the challenge,” Randall said. Afterwards, he signed a long-term contract with WKBW-TV. To do his job better, he received the approval from the National Weather Association. Also as an award-winning dramatist, Randall’s dramas have been produced at Buffalo’s Alleyway Theatre.
1.What effect would “Mark Twain Live” have on audiences?
A.Calming B.Amusing C.Heartbreaking D.Embarrassing
2.What did Randall do in the year of 1974?
A.He interviewed John F. Kennedy.
B.He learned acting at Rosary Hill College.
C.He gave a speech at the State Department.
D.He impersonated Mark Twain in New York.
3.Why is Randall’s connection with some organizations and events mentioned?
A.To encourage Randall to host more shows
B.To recall Mark Twain’s impact on Americans
C.To highlight Randall’s reputation in the art field
D.To indicate Randall’s special bond with Buffalo
4.Which of the following can best describe Mike Randall?
A.Confident and caring B.Open-minded and frank
C.Cautious and independent D.Committed and strong-willed
5.What is another occupation of Mike Randall?

Passage 1
(24-25高三上·天津·阶段练习)A friend and I were exiting a meeting and caught some cigarette smoke from a passer-by. “You know,” I said, “I still crave cigarettes, even though I quit three decades ago.” He nodded and said, “I started smoking when I was 12. When I finally quit it 15 years ago, I’d turned 40. It looked so glamorous in those old Hollywood movies that we youth followed suit. It still does now. And like you, I still want to smoke, too.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a report about tobacco use in the top-grossing (票房收入最高的) movies. “Reducing tobacco use in youth-related movies could help prevent the initiation (开始) of tobacco use among young persons, especially those not suitable for children to watch without an adult,” said the report. And, although it found less smoking in G and PG movie s since 2010, tobacco use in PG-13-rated top-grossing films has increased by 43% since 2010. Those films are labeled “Parents strongly cautioned esp. for children under age 13”.
The Surgeon General (SG) website states, “The youth who are exposed to images of smoking in movies are more likely to smoke. Those who get the most exposure to onscreen smoking are about twice as likely to begin smoking as those who get the least exposure.” The SG has concluded that there is a causal relationship between smoking in the movies and “the initiation of smoking among young people”. America’s leading health organizations are now demanding that all movie producers and distributors slap (强制实行) an R rating on films that show smoking onscreen. Interestingly, they’ve indicated a possible exception for movies based on historical figures.
Really, it would be strange to watch a film about Franklin D.Roosevelt, Dwight D.Eisenhower, or Lyndon B.Johnson without showing a single cigarette. And can you imagine Winston Churchill without a cigar?
But who will decide when it’s necessary to include smoking in order to show history accurately? When will it matter enough for those in the entertainment business to risk receiving an R rating and losing millions at the box office?
1.The underlined word “crave” in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.
A.desire B.smoke C.hate D.carry
2.We can know that the author’s friend ______.
A.still smokes now and then B.is now forty years old or more
C.quit smoking earlier than the author D.began to smoke after seeing some films
3.PG movies refer to ______.
A.perfect grade movies B.parental guidance movies
C.program guidance movies D.public grade movies
4.The author thinks the exception for movies based on historical figures is ______.
A.inefficient B.unfair C.understandable D.absurd
5.In the last paragraph the author indicates that ______.
A.cleaning films is a good idea
B.historical movies are no exception
C.the entertainment movie should be an exception
D.smoking scenes in movies are not easily forbidden
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.B 4.C 5.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕电影中烟草使用的情况及其对社会,特别是青少年吸烟行为的影响进行了讨论,并提到了相关组织和机构的看法与要求。
1.词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“He nodded and said, “I started smoking when I was 12. When I finally quit it 15 years ago, I’d turned 40. It looked so glamorous in those old Hollywood movies that we youth followed suit. It still does now. And like you, I still want to smoke, too.”(他点了点头说:“我十二岁就开始抽烟了。十五年前我终于戒烟时,已经四十岁了。在那些老好莱坞电影里,抽烟看起来很酷,所以我们这些年轻人就跟着学了。现在仍然如此。和你一样,我还是想抽烟。”)”中的“And like you, I still want to smoke, too.”可推测,作者的朋友和作者一样还是想要抽烟。再根据划线单词所在句“I said, “I still crave cigarettes, even though I quit three decades ago.”(尽管我已经戒烟三十年了,但我还是_____香烟。)”可知,作者30年前就戒烟了,但仍然渴望吸烟。划线词crave为“渴望”之意。选项A“desire (渴望)”;选项B“smoke (吸烟)”;选项C“hate (厌恶)”;选项D“carry (携带)”。故选A。
2.推理判断题。根据第一段“It looked so glamorous in those old Hollywood movies that we youth followed suit. It still does now.(在那些老好莱坞电影中,它看起来如此迷人,以至于我们年轻人也效仿。现在依然如此。)”可知,作者的朋友看了一些电影后开始吸烟。故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“And, although it found less smoking in G and PG movie s since 2010, tobacco use in PG-13-rated top-grossing films has increased by 43% since 2010. Those films are labeled “Parents strongly cautioned esp. for children under age 13”.(此外,虽然自2010年以来,G级和PG级电影中的吸烟镜头有所减少,但自2010年以来,PG-13级票房最高电影中的烟草使用却增加了43%。这些电影被标记为“尤其提醒家长注意,不适合13岁以下儿童观看”)”可知,这些电影需要家长进行指导,再结合常识可知,PG级电影指的是“Parental Guidance”,意为“家长指导级”。故选B。
4.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“America’s leading health organizations are now demanding that all movie producers and distributors slap(强制实行) an R rating on films that show smoking onscreen. Interestingly, they’ve indicated a possible exception for movies based on historical figures.(美国主要的卫生组织现在要求所有电影制片人和发行商,对在屏幕上展示吸烟镜头的电影实行R级评定。有趣的是,他们表示,基于历史人物的电影可能是一个例外。)”以及第四段“Really, it would be strange to watch a film about Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, or Lyndon B. Johnson without showing a single cigarette. And can you imagine Winston Churchill without a cigar?(确实,如果在一部关于富兰克林·D·罗斯福、德怀特·D·艾森豪威尔或林登·B·约翰逊的电影中,没有展示他们抽一根烟,那将很奇怪。你能想象没有雪茄的温斯顿·丘吉尔吗?)”可知,作者认为基于历史人物的电影允许吸烟是可以理解的。故选C。
5.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But who will decide when it’s necessary to include smoking in order to show history accurately? When will it matter enough for those in the entertainment business to risk receiving an R rating and losing millions at the box office?(但是,谁来决定什么时候为了准确反映历史而有必要包含吸烟场景?娱乐行业的人什么时候才会觉得为了包含吸烟场景而冒R级评定和票房损失数百万的风险足够重要?)”可知,尽管有要求禁止电影中吸烟镜头的呼声,但实际操作中由于各种原因(如历史准确性、票房等),电影中的吸烟场景并不容易被完全禁止。故选D。
Passage 2
(23-24高三上·天津·阶段练习)I have a strange and frequent dream in which I am assigned a lead role in a major musical production and eagerly agree to take it on — knowing I can’t sing or act my way out of a paper bag, and knowing I’d rather be anywhere but front and center onstage. The dream always ends before the production starts, to the benefit of my self-respect, the unlucky director’s reputation, and my potential audience—who no doubt would have fled at the first note.
I chalk it up to my one and only experience in such things, my high school’s production of South Pacific, a musical I’d so loved as a teen I could not resist auditioning (试镜) —not for a major role, but as one of the chorus of island women raising our arms in the background.
I was cast immediately, a fact I attribute (归功于) to my olive skin and then long black hair, which overcame any doubts the director might have had about my voice. I could pass as an islander. Not only that, but my mother sewed a skirt for me, a beautiful, vividly colored, and artful feat of sewing. The opening night was a triumph for all. But I haven’t set foot on a stage again.
In his elementary school years, my grandson took a shine to attending live theater with me. But he demurred when I suggested he audition for local children’s productions. “It’s not me,” he declared, even as one of his close friends went from a local stage production to a Broadway role.
But the source of these dreams, decades later, still confuses me. The dreams never give me a hint of why I’d been chosen for a starring role once in an Italian opera without having any singing or acting talent or even an audition, or why I’d decided to go for it, knowing I was completely unequipped and unprepared. I suspect (猜想) these dreams will get me as close to such a reality as I’ll ever be.
For now, I only hope I keep waking up before I have to try an opening note.
1.What can we know about the author from the first paragraph?
A.She has a gift for singing and performing.
B.She always acts as a lead role in musicals.
C.She prefers not to be a focus of attention.
D.She respects the director in performances.
2.What made the director choose the author as an islander?
A.Her appearance. B.Her acting talent. C.Her sweet voice. D.Her beautiful dress.
3.What does the underlined word “demurred” mean in Para.4?
A.Considered. B.Hesitated. C.Accepted. D.Objected.
4.What is the author doing now?
A.She is having a try-out for an opera. B.She is remembering an opening note.
C.She is preparing for an Italian opera. D.She is dreaming of being a star on stage.
5.What could we learn from the passage?
A.The author always had dreams.
B.The author succeeded in auditioning once as a teen.
C.The director had a doubt over the author.
D.The author’s grandson attended all the auditions.
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.D 4.C 5.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是作者梦想表演但又不喜欢被人关注,所以直到几十年后在梦想的激励下,作者成为舞台上的明星。
1.细节理解题。根据首段中的“I have a strange and frequent dream in which I am assigned a lead role in a major musical production and eagerly agree to take it on — knowing I can’t sing or act my way out of a paper bag, and knowing I’d rather be anywhere but front and center onstage.(我经常做一个奇怪的梦,梦见我被分配到一个大型音乐剧的主角,并急切地同意出演这个角色——我知道我不能从纸袋里跳出来唱歌或表演,我知道我宁愿站在舞台的任何地方,也不愿站在舞台的中央。)”可知,作者梦想着成为大型音乐剧的主角但作者不愿意站在舞台的中央,由此可知,作者不喜欢成为被关注的焦点。故选C项。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I was cast immediately, a fact I attribute(归功于) to my olive skin and then long black hair, which overcame any doubts the director might have had about my voice. I could pass as an islander.(我立刻就被选中了,我把这归功于我橄榄色的皮肤和长长的黑发,这克服了导演对我声音的任何怀疑。我可以扮演一个岛民。)”可知,作者被导演选中是归功于作者橄榄色的皮肤和长长的黑发,由此可知,作者的外表让导演选择作者扮演一个岛民。故选A项。
3.词义猜测题。根据划线单词后的“when I suggested he audition for local children’s productions. “It’s not me,” he declared, even as one of his close friends went from a local stage production to a Broadway role.(我建议他参加当地儿童节目的试镜。“这不是我,”他宣称,即使他的一个好朋友从当地的舞台剧转到百老汇的角色。)”可知,作者建议孙子参加当地儿童节目的试镜,作者的孙子的反应是即使他的好朋友转到百老汇的角色,他也不同意,由此可知,划线单词的意思与“Objected”意义相近。故选D项。
4.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“The dreams never give me a hint of why I’d been chosen for a starring role once in an Italian opera without having any singing or acting talent or even an audition, or why I’d decided to go for it, knowing I was completely unequipped and unprepared.(这些梦从来没有给我任何暗示,为什么我曾经在没有任何歌唱或表演天赋,甚至没有试镜的情况下,被选为意大利歌剧的主角,或者为什么我决定在完全没有装备和准备的情况下去做这件事。)”可知,作者在没有任何暗示的情况下,被选为意大利歌剧的主角,由此可知,作者现在应是正在为意大利歌剧做准备。故选C项。
5.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I chalk it up to my one and only experience in such things, my high school’s production of South Pacific, a musical I’d so loved as a teen I could not resist auditioning (试镜) —not for a major role, but as one of the chorus of island women raising our arms in the background.(我把它归功于我在这类事情上唯一的一次经历,我高中时制作的《南太平洋》(South Pacific),这是一部我十几岁时非常喜欢的音乐剧,我忍不住去试镜——不是为了一个主要角色,而是作为背景中岛屿妇女举起手臂的合唱之一。)”可知,作者在十几岁时自己非常喜欢的音乐剧中参加了试镜,结合第三段中的“I was cast immediately, a fact I attribute (归功于) to my olive skin and then long black hair, which overcame any doubts the director might have had about my voice.(我立刻就被选中了,我把这归功于我橄榄色的皮肤和长长的黑发,这克服了导演对我声音的任何怀疑。)”可知,由于作者的皮肤和头发,作者被选中,由此可知,作者在十几岁时曾经试镜成功。故选B项。
Passage 3
(2022·天津和平·一模)Another year, another Nobel snub for every screenwriter there is. The Nobel Prize began in 1901, and 120 years later, no writer whose primary work is for the screen has been awarded the top literary prize on earth.
In some ways, this makes sense. When the first Nobels were awarded, movies were still a new art form. Even now, film and screenwriting generally aren’t taken as seriously as their more honored literary cousins.
But in other regards, screenplays are among the most-consumed forms of literature in existence, and movies are increasingly considered an outstanding art form. Moreover, the Swedish Academy’s Nobel Prize Committee has signaled its interest in awarding nontraditional forms of literature.
Of course, many writers who’ve won Nobel Prizes also wrote screenplays, but none of those honorees worked first and foremost as screenwriters. William Faulkner, for example, wrote dozens of movies for Hollywood studios, but he was cited by the Swedes specifically for his “powerful and artistically unique contribution to the modern American novel”. Kazuo Ishiguro, likewise an occasional screenwriter, was singled out for his “novels of great emotional force”. Even Peter Handke, whose literature award is the closest the Swedish Academy uses to honor a screenwriter, was recognized as one of the greatest novelists of his generation.
Some have argued screenwriting is simply too cooperative an art form for the Nobels to honor a single “author” of a film, especially since dialogue can be improvised by the actors on set. But fiction can also be wildly cooperative. It seems strange for screenwriters alone to be dismissed completely on this ground.
Perhaps it still comes down to seriousness. The Nobel Prize in Literature has changed over the years. No longer can it award writers without fear of criticism — either for being too obscure, or too crowd-pleasing, or too controversial, or otherwise just plain disappointing. People would roll their eyes if a lowly screenwriter won the most renowned literary award in the world.
Even so, it seems silly to give that explanation in 2021, when you can discover some of the year’s best writing on your TV After all, as film director Alfred Hitchcock once said, “To make a good film, you need three things: the scrip, the scrip, and the script.” And certainly, there have been good—great—films in the past 12 decades. Nobel recognition of their writers is long overdue.
1.What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.No screenwriter has been awarded the Nobel Prize.
B.Few literary prizes recognize the efforts of screenwriters.
C.Screenwriters have stayed as backstage heroes for a long time.
D.The Nobel Prize fails to consider screenplays as literary works.
2.Why does the author mention the three writers in paragraph 4?
A.To awaken readers’ passion for literature.
B.To make a comparison among literary giants.
C.To show each writer’s contribution to literature.
D.To stress their role as screenwriters was overlooked.
3.What reason for screenwriters’ being snubbed by the Nobel Prize does the author support?
A.A decline of excellent screenplays. B.The late start of the movie industry.
C.A lack of seriousness in screenwriting. D.The difficulty in identifying honorees.
4.What do we know about screenwriting from the passage?
A.Screenwriting came into existence long before movie did.
B.People would feel it annoying to award Nobel Prize to screenwriting.
C.Screenwriting as well as fiction has long been rejected in Nobel Prize.
D.Screenwriting has been awarded Nobel Prize in Literature several times.
5.What does the author intend to show in the last paragraph?
A.Screenplays have improved a lot over the years.
B.Good screenplays can still be found on television.
C.The script determines the stand or fall of a movie.
D.Good screenwriters should receive Nobel recognition.
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.C 4.B 5.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了没有编剧获得过诺贝尔奖,解释了这一现象背后的原因以及作者认为好的编剧应该获得诺贝尔奖的观点。
1.词句猜测题。根据第一段中“The Nobel Prize began in 1901, and 120 years later, no writer whose primary work is for the screen has been awarded the top literary prize on earth.”以及画线词后文“When the first Nobels were awarded, movies were still a new art form. Even now, film and screenwriting generally aren’t taken as seriously as their more honored literary cousins.”可知,诺贝尔奖创立于1901年,120年后,世界上还没有一个主要作品是为电影创作的作家被授予最高文学奖,第二段则说明了没有编剧获得诺贝尔奖的原因:当第一批诺贝尔奖被授予时,电影仍然是一种新的艺术形式。即使是现在,电影和剧本创作通常也不像它们更受尊敬的文学表亲那样受到重视。故this指的是“没有编剧获得过诺贝尔奖”。故选A。
2.推理判断题。根据第四段“Of course, many writers who’ve won Nobel Prizes also wrote screenplays, but none of those honorees worked first and foremost as screenwriters. William Faulkner, for example, wrote dozens of movies for Hollywood studios, but he was cited by the Swedes specifically for his “powerful and artistically unique contribution to the modern American novel”. Kazuo Ishiguro, likewise an occasional screenwriter, was singled out for his “novels of great emotional force”. Even Peter Handke, whose literature award is the closest the Swedish Academy uses to honor a screenwriter, was recognized as one of the greatest novelists of his generation.(例如,威廉·福克纳为好莱坞电影公司写了几十部电影,但瑞典人特别称赞他“对现代美国小说做出了强大而独特的艺术贡献”。石黑一雄同样偶尔担任编剧,他的小说“情感力量强大”,因此被选为编剧。就连彼得·汉德克也被公认为同时代最伟大的小说家之一,他的文学奖是瑞典文学院授予编剧的最接近的奖项)”可推知,作者在第4段提到三位作者是为了强调他们作为编剧的角色被忽视了。故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Some have argued screenwriting is simply too cooperative an art form for the Nobels to honor a single “author” of a film, especially since dialogue can be improvised by the actors on set.(有些人认为,作为一种艺术形式,诺贝尔奖不应该将奖项授予电影的单个“作者”,因为剧本创作太过合作,尤其是在对话可以由演员在片场即兴创作的情况下)”以及倒数第二段中“Perhaps it still comes down to seriousness. (也许这仍然是严肃的问题)”可知,作者支持编剧被诺贝尔奖冷落的原因是剧本写作缺乏严肃性。故选C。
4.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The Nobel Prize in Literature has changed over the years. No longer can it award writers without fear of criticism — either for being too obscure, or too crowd-pleasing, or too controversial, or otherwise just plain disappointing. People would roll their eyes if a lowly screenwriter won the most renowned literary award in the world.(诺贝尔文学奖在过去的几年里发生了变化。它再也不能在不担心批评的情况下给作家颁奖了——要么因为他们太过晦涩,要么因为他们太过迎合大众,要么因为他们太过有争议,要么因为他们太过让人失望。如果一个地位低下的编剧获得了世界上最著名的文学奖,人们会翻白眼)”可知,人们会觉得把诺贝尔奖颁给编剧很烦人。故选B。
5.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Even so, it seems silly to give that explanation in 2021, when you can discover some of the year’s best writing on your TV After all, as film director Alfred Hitchcock once said, “To make a good film, you need three things: the scrip, the scrip, and the script.” And certainly, there have been good—great—films in the past 12 decades. Nobel recognition of their writers is long overdue.(即便如此,在2021年给出这样的解释似乎有些愚蠢,因为那时你可以在电视上看到今年最好的一些剧本。毕竟,正如电影导演阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克曾经说过的:“要拍一部好电影,你需要三样东西:剧本、剧本和剧本。”当然,在过去的12年里也有很多优秀的电影。他们的作家早就该获得诺贝尔奖了)”可推知,作者想在最后一段表达好的编剧应该获得诺贝尔奖。故选D。

【答案】Possible versions:
The movie I like most
I like to see movie so much. When I have time, the first thing I’d like to do is to find the hot movies and then buy some snacks, enjoying my movie hours.
After appreciating so many movies, The Lord of the Rings impresses me the most. This movie has three series and I like them all. Though the movie was made in about 2000, its technology is still not out of date. In the movie, the scenery is so beautiful that I can’t move my eyes away. It was shot in New Zealand and I have made up my mind that I must go there someday and have a look at the beautiful scenery.
The movie shows me a scientific world with all kinds of creatures. It broadens my vision.
The people I like most
The people I like is my father. He is a doctor. He always busy with work. Since I could remember, he has never spent a whole weekend to stay with me. He goes to the hospital very early before I get up, and comes back home after I sleep. But I doesn’t matter at all. He is a hero to me. He devotes almost all the time to his patients, and many lives are saved.
He always said, a man should have dignity, integrity, honor, and most of all, be helpful to others. This affected me deeply, so I work hard so that someday I can be the man like my father.
