【阅读理解】
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.
1.What does the author think of the new movie
A.Boring. B.Recommendable.
C.Ridiculous. D.Amusing.
2.The underlined word “soaring” in the third paragraph probably means “________”.
A.rising B.singing
C.running D.shouting
3.What can we learn about the movie
A.The remakes of the movie adopt different plots.
B.The movie tells the story of two friends on different paths.
C.Natural performance is considered as the only principle in this movie.
D.The movie is more impressive than what movie analysts expected.
4.What is the best title for the passage
A.A Hollywood Movie — A Star Is Born
B.Lady Gaga Is on the Edge of Potential Oscar Glory
C.A Latest Film of Lady Gaga Won the Oscar Award
D.The Box Office of Bradley Cooper's New Movie
B:
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.
The late actress Lillian Gish, who died in 1993, required that the prize be given every year to a man or a woman who has made an outstanding contribution to the beauty of the world and to mankind's enjoyment and understanding of life.
Previous recipients include some famous people from different fields — Frank Gehry, Bob Dylan, Arthur Miller and Robert Redford. Chosen from a shortlist of 30 people in the arts, Lee would be presented with the honour on 30 October at New York's Museum of Modern Art.
“Would you believe that two of the most important films that impacted me while I was studying at NYU starred Miss Lillian Gish?” Lee said in a statement, citing The Birth of a Nation and The Night of the Hunter. “Isn't it funny sometimes how life works?”
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 Kickstarter towards his next movie project. Lee's latest film, BlacKkKlansman, starring John David and Adam Driver, was released in the U.S. Washington on August 10, 2018.
1.What do the underlined words “out of the blue” mean
A.Partly. B.Suddenly.
C.Normally. D.Briefly.
2.The Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize was established in the name of ________.
A.Lillian Gish B.Spike Lee
C.Frank Gehry D.Robert Redford
3.What happened to Lee when he was studying at NYU
A.He was a fan of Lillian Gish.
B.He got familiar with Lillian Gish.
C.He showed a talent for film making.
D.He was influenced by Lillian Gish's films.
4.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Lee's first film is well thought of.
B.Lee is regarded as a productive director.
C.Do the Right Thing was a great success.
D.Kickstarter is short of money for Lee's next film.
【七选五】
Understanding and appreciating abstract art can be tough if you don't have much experience with art. Don't worry. The following can help you gain an appreciation of abstract artwork enormously.
Relax as you look at abstract art.
__1__, it's best to go to the gallery or view the art when you're in a relaxing state so that the art affects you in a positive way. Limit distractions around you, like your cellphone, and try to clear your mind of negative or stressful thoughts.
__2__.
Avoid saying things like “Anyone could make that” and dismiss prior opinions you have about the artwork before you actually see it. Try to approach the art with an open mind and don't compare it with other works, especially if it's not in the same style.
Ask yourself how the painting makes you feel.
Instead of trying to evaluate the technical aspects of the art, ask yourself how the art makes you feel. __3__, it has an emotional impact on you. Do be honest with yourself when determining your real feeling.
Research the artist's life.
Some galleries have an informational plaque (匾牌) near the artwork that describes the artist. Read the informational plaque next to the artwork. This is a great way to better understand the artist and his mindset when he created the art. Most abstract art tries to capture a feeling or emotion like sadness, rage, or happiness. __4__.
Speak and interact with abstract artists.
If you like, you can find abstract artists in collective studios or at their art shows. __5__. Getting their perspective may give you a deeper understanding and appreciation of their work.
Well now, if you still don't get abstract art and can't appreciate it, try to create some artworks yourself. If you don't know where to start, you can look up tutorials online or take a local art class.
A.Look at the artwork as objectively as you can
B.If it makes you happy, sad, anxious, or excited
C.As long as you understand the techniques used to create the art
D.Since being distracted or stressed can actually affect how you enjoy art
E.Take the time to respectfully speak to them
F.For example, if the artist witnessed a war, a depressing feeling may be conveyed in his art
G.There are different styles and types of art for you to further research
