Unit7 Films阅读理解练习

Dear Amy
How are you Mum, Dad and I went to Thailand last week. We had a great time!
We arrived at the airport early on Friday morning. I chose a window seat on the plane. I could see the clouds clearly from the window. They looked soft and shiny. Four hours later, we landed in Thailand.
We stayed at a hotel in Pattaya on our first day. We went to the beach. We played different water sports there. We had so much fun! We were tired when we got back to the hotel.
On the next day, we went to Bangkok. We visited two temples there. They looked like golden bells with pointed tops. We took some photos outside the temples and had a walk in the gardens. In the evening, we had dinner at a restaurant next to a lake. The food was very spicy so I kept drinking cold water!
On the last day, we hung out at a shopping mall. Mum bought a beautiful tea set. Dad bought some T-shirts and I bought some dried mangoes (芒果干). We went to the airport after lunch. I was lucky because I got a window seat again. This time I could see the beautiful sunset (日落).
We enjoyed the trip very much. I hope we will go on another trip again soon.
Love
Polly

Tammy was in her room, getting ready to do her homework. "Yes, Daddy!" she replied. "I'll be right there."
She hurried out of her bedroom and down the hallway. She was only nine years old. Her elder sister, Ella, had just moved away to go to a performing arts high school in another city.

Do you know what Oscar is When did it start Maybe you can find the background of the awards in the following passage.
The awards started in 1929. Their full title is “The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards”. The Academy is a group of people who have worked in the film industry for many years. They decide who will receive the awards. The awards are often referred to as the “Oscar”. This is a nickname given to the awards by a lady called Margaret Herrick. She was once the director of the Academy and she once said that the little gold statue reminded her of her uncle Oscar!
The Oscar is always an exciting event. Each year, at least one unusual thing happens. When the Italian actor and director Roberto Benigni won an Oscar for best foreign film, he danced on stage! When Gwyneth Paltrow, the star of Shakespeare in Love won the Oscar for best actress, she could not make her acceptance speech because she was crying so much with happiness!
In 1987, Roberto Benigni won the award for best director for a film about the last emperor of China. Since then, Chinese film and actors have started to make an impact at the award. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was a huge success and it won the award for best foreign language film in 2001. It also won several technical awards for its amazing “flying” people. We expect to see more awards for Chinese film in the near future.
It’s time for the Oscar again. Once more, the stars will dress up in their finest and go to Kodar Theater. There, they will find out who had won the awards for best actor, best actress and best director. Millions of people watch the awards every year to find out who the winners are. Some people watch it to see the stars crying and laughing as they receive their awards.

Hollywood is a neighbourhood in Los Angeles，California. It used to be the historical centre of movie studios and movie stars. And the word "Hollywood" is often used as a metonymy(转喻)of American cinema, But these are only memories. Hollywood isn't quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas.
Hollywood is facing big challenges! The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers will go out to see the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. Older people mostly stay at home to watch drama series，like Dynasty. These "soap operas"，as they are called，show rich，powerful families living in beautiful houses and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and the actresses are nearly middle-aged.
Though soap operas keep the movie-makers of Hollywood in business，big movies are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new centre, and there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don't need Hollywood any more. They use modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower cost.

What can you do to help yourself get out of stress or worry If you're an artist, you keep making art. And if you have never considered yourself an artist, now is the time to take up an artistic hobby such as drawing or painting. It is never too late to start. Everyone can do it. If you can hold a brush or crayon, you can create art.
Creating art heals(治愈) not only the mind and spirit but also the body since all of these are connected. As you draw or paint, your breathing slows, your blood pressure lowers, and your mind lets go of daily problems. This slowing down allows you to fully experience the moment.The process not only relaxes you but also brings a feeling of joy, increasing your energy and enthusiasm(热情) for life.
Making art also allows you to play, freeing you to find out and try out new materials and methods. It also lets you express pleasure by seeing beauty where others may not. Creating art provides you a special chance to express your anger or upset, as well as your personal ideas.
Although the process of making art is the most important part, your finished product is significant too.Your painting or drawing will remind you of the lessons you learned while making it, and you may feel energetic just by looking at it.
If you don't know how to begin, here are some ways to start creating art. If possible, set aside a small table with your brushes and watercolours so you can get creative whenever you get inspiration. Without thinking much about it, just choose colours that you like and start painting with them, or cut pictures with those colours out of magazines and glue them down, combining(结合) them with paints. The act of enjoying the colours and working on the colour combinations will give you something to focus on instead of the stresses of your daily life.
( )1.What do you need to do if you start making art according to Paragraph 1
A．Ask a teacher for help. B．Start as early as possible.
C．Be a young artist first. D．Just have a brush or crayon.
( )2.What can you learn about making art from Paragraphs 2 and 3
A．It is good for our health. B．It causes high blood pressure.
C．It's like playing games. D．It helps us solve daily problems.
( )3.Which of the following best explains “significant” underlined in Paragraph 4
A．Expensive. B．Useless. C．Important. D．Unexpected.
( )4.What's the writer's purpose of writing the text
A．To tell us how to be an artist.
B．To introduce the history of art.
C．To encourage us to make art.
D．To teach us how to choose colours.

Stop motion movies
Stop motion is a special type of movie making. It uses real objects－instead of drawings －to tell a story. The story characters can be people, animals, or even everyday objects. You can make them out of clay (橡皮泥) or just use some small toys.
Give it a try, and be creative! Get your parents and friends together and show your film！
Make up a short story. Make sure it has a beginning, middle and end. Then write down your story. Pick a place where you're going to shoot the movie. Make sure you'll have enough room to take pictures. Collect or make the characters you'll need for your movie, and then prepare some backdrops (背景幕布) (Even a piece of cloth will work). Set up your first shot (拍摄). Put your characters and props (道具) at the right place for your first scene. Keep your “movie camera” steady (稳定的) and in the same place. Repeat the step above over and over and over until you complete your story. YOU WILL NEED*A smart phone or camera that shoots videos*A support with three legs used for the phone or camera*Your imagination and a story to tell*Characters (Use action figures (动态木偶), toys, etc. , or make some with clay)*A good place to shoot a movie*Whatever else you need for your story
( )1. Stop motion is a special way to make ________.
A. characters B. movies
C. props D. backdrops
( )2. When making stop motion movies, you must use ______ to tell a story.

Recently, I have done a survey about whether students like to watch movies at home or in the cinema. 64% of the students like to watch movies at home. For one thing, they can spend less money. For another, they will have more choices of what to watch.
However, others prefer going to the cinema. From their point of view, they will have the chance to enjoy huge screens and feel excellent sounds in the cinema, which can always give them a wonderful watching experience.
As for me, watching movies in the cinema is a better choice. I can hang out with my friends and it's really exciting. At the same time, it's a good way to develop friendship.

In the evening, we had dinner at a restaurant next to a lake. The food was very spicy so I kept drinking cold water!
On the last day, we hung out at a shopping mall. Mum bought a beautiful tea set. Dad bought some T-shirts and I bought some dried mangoes (芒果干). We went to the airport after lunch. I was lucky because I got a window seat again. This time I could see the beautiful sunset (日落).
We enjoyed the trip very much. I hope we will go on another trip again soon.

What can you do to help yourself get out of stress or worry If you're an artist, you keep making art. And if you have never considered yourself an artist, now is the time to take up an artistic hobby such as drawing or painting. It is never too late to start. Everyone can do it. If you can hold a brush or crayon, you can create art.
Creating art heals(治愈) not only the mind and spirit but also the body since all of these are connected. As you draw or paint, your breathing slows, your blood pressure lowers, and your mind lets go of daily problems. This slowing down allows you to fully experience the moment.The process not only relaxes you but also brings a feeling of joy, increasing your energy and enthusiasm(热情) for life.
Making art also allows you to play, freeing you to find out and try out new materials and methods. It also lets you express pleasure by seeing beauty where others may not. Creating art provides you a special chance to express your anger or upset, as well as your personal ideas.
Although the process of making art is the most important part, your finished product is significant too.Your painting or drawing will remind you of the lessons you learned while making it, and you may feel energetic just by looking at it.
If you don't know how to begin, here are some ways to start creating art. If possible, set aside a small table with your brushes and watercolours so you can get creative whenever you get inspiration. Without thinking much about it, just choose colours that you like and start painting with them, or cut pictures with those colours out of magazines and glue them down, combining(结合) them with paints. The act of enjoying the colours and working on the colour combinations will give you something to focus on instead of the stresses of your daily life.

Stop motion movies
Stop motion is a special type of movie making. It uses real objects－instead of drawings －to tell a story. The story characters can be people, animals, or even everyday objects. You can make them out of clay (橡皮泥) or just use some small toys.
Give it a try, and be creative! Get your parents and friends together and show your film！
Make up a short story. Make sure it has a beginning, middle and end. Then write down your story. Pick a place where you're going to shoot the movie. Make sure you'll have enough room to take pictures. Collect or make the characters you'll need for your movie, and then prepare some backdrops (背景幕布) (Even a piece of cloth will work). Set up your first shot (拍摄). Put your characters and props (道具) at the right place for your first scene. Keep your “movie camera” steady (稳定的) and in the same place. Repeat the step above over and over and over until you complete your story.

Jackie Chan is one of the greatest kung fu superstars in the world. He is also famous as a singer and a director. Jackie Chan was born in Hong Kong in 1954. He dreamt of entering the film industry when he was young. The film Drunken Master in 1978 marked the beginning of his successful career. In the film he successfully joined humour and exciting action together. His achievements are far snore than a kung fu superstar. He has devoted many years to charity work.

My favourite actress is Zhang Ziyi. She is one of the most popular stars in the world. She was born in Beijing in 1979. She liked dancing when she was young. She is tall and slim, and she has bright eyes.
Before she acted in her first film, My Father and Mother, she was not very famous. She has acted in many other successful films since 1999. She has won a lot of awards because of her efforts in this area.
She is considered as an experienced actress. I believe her acting skills will become even better in the future.

Recently, I have done a survey about whether students like to watch movies at home or in the cinema. 64% of the students like to watch movies at home. For one thing, they can spend less money. For another, they will have more choices of what to watch.
However, others prefer going to the cinema. From their point of view, they will have the chance to enjoy huge screens and feel excellent sounds in the cinema, which can always give them a wonderful watching experience.
As for me, watching movies in the cinema is a better choice. I can hang out with my friends and it's really exciting. At the same time, it's a good way to develop friendship.
