三、阅读理解
Inside Out is one of my favorite Disney/Pixar movies. The story is about a young girl named Riley who moves from Minnesota to San Francisco with her family and how she deals with her emotions through the move. These five emotions in Riley’s brain are Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. These emotions play a very important role in her life. I can relate because I am an 11-year-old girl and I am very in touch with my emotions and pre-teen feelings.
The film is extremely beautiful and you couldn’t ask for better direction from Pete Doctor. The use of the right colors for the characters is great. For example, Joy is yellow, Sadness is blue, Disgust is green, Fear is purple and Anger of course is red. Sadness plays a main role in the story and it makes me wonder why we are told not to be sad. I think it’s important to be sad when the time comes. The end of the movie pretty much got me and the whole audience (families, couples and even elderly people) in tears and I cried very hard.
I recommend this movie for anyone from 8 to 18 because it has enough joy in it for younger kids to like it even though it does have some sad moments. I believe that adults will like it too. And I give it 4 out of 5 stars because it connects to an older audience even though it is designed for a younger audience. I think younger children can see this, but a parent would have to explain some things to them after the movie.
1. The author feels connected with the movie because she and the character Riley ______.
A. enjoy the same movie
B. have the same feelings
C. have the same move experience
D. have a similar family background
2. What does the author think of Pete Doctor’s job
A. Bad. B. Just so-so.
C. Wonderful. D. Disappointing.
3. After seeing the movie, the author has a new understanding of ______.
A. fear B. sadness
C. anger D. joy
4. In the author’s eyes, the movie ______.
A. won’t attract people over 18
B. is really unsuitable for children
C. will be popular among kids and adults
D. can easily be understood by younger kids
四、阅读填句
Rock music consists of many different styles. Even though there is a common spirit among all music groups, they make very different music. 1 At that time the Beatles entered the world of music from Liverpool.
After they were given an invitation to appear live on BBC, the Beatles quickly became famous in Britain with nationwide tours. By mid-1963, the Beatles had been extremely popular in England. 2 They held large concerts and performed at clubs. They became the hottest thing on the pop music scene in England. They began as a modestly successful musician group and ended the year as show business legends(传说). John Lennon and Paul McCartney were named composers of the year.
3 They were not sure how the Americans would react to the new type of music. Beatlemania hit New York on February 7, 1964. Hundreds of fans jammed the airport to greet them. 4 The concert was broadcast live and attracted the largest one night audience in the history of television up to that time. The Beatles were described as a British invasion(入侵)by local and nationwide newspapers at that time. Their victory in America was still remembered as a major turning point in the history of rock and roll. Thanks to the Beatles, a lot of opportunities were opened up to new faces on the market. 5
A. They decided on a tour to the United States in 1964.
B. Even their hairstyles became major trends at that time.
