第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Lady Gaga's latest film became an instant hit over the weekend, helping push theaters to an October ticket selling record.
A Star Is Born, actor turned director Bradley Cooper's remake of a Hollywood classic in the late 1930s, went beyond the previous expectations of movie analysts by roughly 30 percent.
The original production is such a great Hollywood myth that it's no wonder Hollywood keeps telling it. Whatever the era, the director or the headliners, it tells the story of two lovers on dramatically different paths: a famous man who's racing to the bottom and a woman who's soaring to the top.
Mr. Cooper does a lot right in this movie A Star Is Born, beginning with the casting of Lady Gaga, whose relaxing, naturalistic performance is the key to the movie's force.
A post Madonna pop artist was known for her elaborate (精心制作的) makeup and costumes, which she adopted no more here.
This unmasking of Lady Gaga makes her character seem genuine or say natural, a quality that the movie is in favor of and that serves as a kind of everlasting first principle.

4．What is the best title for the passage

B．Lady Gaga Is on the Edge of Potential Oscar Glory

From high definition (高清) television to 3D TV, if we asked our screens to produce life like and realistic pictures, that is certainly what we got. As the 3D TV revolution picks up pace, it's time to stop studying the technology itself and to start seeing exactly how we, as television fans, can benefit from it, and how it will change our viewing experience.
It is true that what you've got is good if you don't know what you're missing out on; in other words, if you're living with a perfectly common television, which has on HD capabilities, the chances are that you're not hoping for HD TV and that your picture looks as clear as you need it to be.But as soon as you try HD TV, you'll be amazed at the difference it makes to your viewing pleasure and the same is true of 3D TV.
3D TVs are rapidly becoming as common as other TVs on goods shelves (货架) of retailers and in the homes of people across the UK.And as the technology develops, the picture becomes clearer, sharper and more real.Television shows that look particularly good in 3D are sports, nature programs and those that are exciting and full of special effects, and lovers of these are in for a real treat when they buy a 3D TV.
More and more football matches are shown on 3D TV, and those fans who have experienced a 3D football match compare it to being there in person.The same is true of nature programs, particularly those that feature brightly colored animals and plants, the details of which are quite realistic when viewed on 3D TV.
Exciting films have always lent themselves to 3D technology, with dinosaurs surrounding you in your own living room and so on — it can be a frighteningly realistic experience for viewers!
5．Some people are happy with perfectly common televisions because ________.
A．they don't know the benefits of HD TV and 3D TV
B．their common televisions are very expensive
C．they don't have enough money to buy HD TV or 3D TV
D．their televisions must have some HD capabilities
6．What does the underlined word “retailers” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．People who study HD television.
B．Businessmen who sell goods to consumers.
C．People who are ready to buy something.
D．Places where a lot of goods are stored.
7．What television programs look particularly good on 3D TV
A．Sports programs and nature programs.
B．Music programs and education programs.
C．Education programs and nature programs.
D．Art programs and writing programs.
8．This text is written mainly to tell readers ________.
A．the difference between HD TV and 3D TV
B．there is a need to buy HD TV or 3D TV
C．the rapid development of technology
D．3D TV gives viewers a realistic experience

Movie Review: Mummy 3
If you're a fan of the “Mummy” movies, you've probably already seen the latest in the franchise, “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.” It opened Friday.
Returning in this threequel (续集的续集) is Brendan Fraser.You may have seen him earlier this summer in the remake of “Journey to the Center of the Earth.” In the Mummy films, he plays the role of devil may care (不顾一切的) adventurer Rick O'Connell.
The first two films took place in Egypt. This time around, O'Connell and his wife, Evelyn, head to China.
Rachel Weisz played the role of Evelyn, Rick O'Connell's wife. They met in the first film and were married in the second. Weisz passed on making a third movie. Rather than kill off her character, the director recast (重新分派角色) it with actress Maria Bello. She's OK, but I really liked Weisz.
The “Dragon Emperor” is very much like the first two “Mummy” films: Bad guy gets what he deserved and is entombed (埋葬) in some fashion. One of the O'Connells, in this case, Rick and Evelyn's son, Alex, releases the bad guy and must save the world. Jet Li plays the Dragon Emperor. It's a waste of a good actor and a potentially good character. The director didn't give Li enough to do or say.
My favorite character Jonathan, Evelyn's brother, returns in this film. He's got great lines and is very funny. He's always looking for a way to get rich quickly. Maybe this time he'll succeed.
Lots of dialogue quips and major special effects. The sound quality varies so it's sometimes hard to hear the actors.
All in all, if you're looking for a way to the pass a summer afternoon, this is fine fodder (创作素材)．
9．Where is the film Mummy 3's background

B．Evelyn married Rick O'Connell in Mummy 2.
C．Rachel Weisz and Maria Bello played the role of Evelyn by turns in Mummy 3.
D．Maria Bello played the role of Evelyn in Mummy 3.
11．In the Mummy films, what is Rick O'Connell
A．An adventurer. B．An emperor.
C．An actor. D．A devil.

U．S. film director Spike Lee had been awarded the 20th annual Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize for his brilliance and unwavering (坚定的) courage in using film to challenge traditional thinking.
The film maker behind hits such as Malcolm X and Inside Man would receive approximately $300,000. “I hadn't even heard of it，” Lee said, of the prize. “It was a phone call that came completely out_of_the_blue. It was one of the best phone calls I've ever had，” the 56 year old man added.

Lee made his debut (首次表演) with She's Gotta Have It in 1986, closely followed by the groundbreaking Do the Right Thing in 1989, which landed Academy Award nominations for Best Original Screenplay, Best Film and Best Director. In 2013, he raised $1.25 million on the fan funding website Kick starter towards his next movie project.
