阅读理解
A
Film has properties that set it apart from painting, sculpture, novels, and plays. It is also, in its most popular and powerful form, a story telling medium that shares many elements with the short story and the novel. And since film presents its stories in dramatic form, it has even more in common with the stage play: Both plays and movies act out or dramatize, show rather than tell what happens.
Unlike the novel, short story, or play, however, film is not handy to study; it cannot be effectively frozen on the printed page. The novel and short story are relatively easy to study because they are written to be read. The stage play is slightly more difficult to study because it is written to be performed. But plays are printed, and because they rely heavily on the spoken word, imaginative readers can conjure up at least a pale imitation of the experience they might have been watching a performance on stage. This cannot be said of the screenplay, for a film depends greatly on visual and other nonvisual elements that are not easily expressed in writing. The screenplay requires so much “filling in” by our imagination that we cannot really approximate the experience of a film by reading a screenplay, and reading a screenplay is worthwhile only if we have already seen the film. Thus, most screenplays are published not to read but rather to be remembered.
Still, film should not be ignored because studying it requires extra effort. And the fact that we do not generally “read” films does not mean we should ignore the principles of literary or dramatic analysis when we see a film. Literature and films do share many elements and communicate many things in similar ways. Perceptive film analysis rests on the principles used in literary analysis, and if we apply what we have learned in the study of literature to our analysis of films, we will be far ahead of those who do not. Therefore, before we turn to the unique elements of film, we need to look into the elements that film shares with any good story.
Dividing film into its various elements for analysis is a somewhat artificial process, for the elements of any art form, never exist in isolation. It is impossible, for example, to isolate plot from character: Events influence people, and people influence events; the two are always closely interwoven in any fictional, dramatic, or cinematic work. Nevertheless, the analytical method uses such a fragmenting technique for ease and convenience. But it does so with the assumption that we can study these elements in isolation without losing sight of their interdependence or their relationship to the whole.
1. What is mainly discussed in the text?
A. The uniqueness of film.
B. The importance of film analysis.
C. How to identify the techniques a film uses.
D. The relationship between film analysis and literary analysis.
2. Why is it not handy to study film?
A. Because screenplays are not as well written as literary works.
B. Because a film cannot be effectively represented by a printed screenplay.
C. Because a film is too complicated.
D. Because publishers prefer to publish literary works.
3. From the third paragraph we learn that .
A. the means by which we analyze a literary work cannot be applied to the analysis of the film
B. a good film and a good story have many elements in common
C. we should not pay extra effort to study films
D. using the principles of literary analysis makes no difference in film analysis
4. Why can’t we divide film into various elements for analysis?
A. Because these elements are interwoven with each other and cannot be separated.
B. Because films cannot be written down and it is inconvenient to analyze them.
C. Because films elements are too complicated.
D. Because films need not to be analyzed in detail.

B
A “lost tribe” that reached America from Australia may have been the first Native Americans, according to a new theory.
If proved by DNA evidence, the theory will break long-established beliefs about the southerly migration of people who entered America across the Bering Strait, found it empty and occupied it.
On this theory rests the belief of Native Americans to have been the first true Americans. They would be classified to the ranks of escapee, beaten to the New World by Aboriginals(土著人) in boats.
To a European, this may seem like an academic argument, but to Americans it is a philosophical question about identity, Silvia Gonzales of Liverpool University said.
Her claims are based on skeletons found in the California Peninsula of Mexico that have skulls quite unlike the broad Mongolian features of Native Americans. These narrow-skulled people have more in common with southern Asians, Aboriginal Australians and people of the South Pacific Region
The bones, stored at the National Museum of Anthropology(人类学) in Mexico City, have been carbon-dated and one is 12,700 years old, which places it several thousand years before the arrival of people from the North. “We think there were several migration waves into the Americas at different times by different human groups,” Dr. Gonzales said. “The timing, route and point of origin of the first colonization of the Americas remains a most contentious topic in human evolution.”
But comparisons based on skull shape are not considered conclusive by anthropologists, so a team of Mexican and British scientists, backed by the Natural Environment Research Council, has also attempted to take out DNA from the bones. Dr. Gonzales declined yesterday to say exactly what the results were, as they need to be checked, but indicated that they were consistent(一致) with an Australian origin.
It is generally considered that the first Native Americans came from ________.
A. North Asia B. Australia C. South Pacific D. South Asia
6. The skeletons found in the California Peninsula of Mexico have ________.
A. the narrow skull shape
B. different features of Aboriginal Australians
C. the broad skull shape
D. the same features of Native Americans
7. The underlined word “contentious” is similar in meaning to “________”.
A. likely to cause great interest B. difficult to solve
C. well-known to all D. likely to cause argument
8. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
A. Research on skulls can draw an exact conclusion.
B. DNA tests have proved the fact that the first Native Americans came from Australian.
C. Scientists are still not sure about the origin of the Native Americans.
D. People began to enter America across the Bering Strait about 12,700 years ago.

Theatre is a great activity to be a part of. It’s an excellent way to make friends, practice the art, show your talents, and explore your creative side. Here’s how to prepare yourself so that you can be your shining best.
Practice, practice, practice!
9 To improve your practice, ask directors for pointers. While no show is perfect, with persistence(意志力), you can create a very satisfying end result.
10
When you are in bed, picture yourself on the stage having a great time. Go through your lines, songs, and dance moves, and picture them going perfectly. The key is to stay relaxed and create a positive image of yourself on the stage.
Don’t be nervous when you are on stage!
It will be dark where the audience is seated, and you won’t be able to see their faces. When you aren’t saying lines, take deep breaths. 11 Just have fun!
Remember to show expression.
Be proud of your performance and display the emotion that your character is feeling. 12 Keep in mind that you’re not only representing who you are as a performer, but also the rest of your cast and crew members and your directors as well! Smile(if you are supposed to) and have lots of fun!
Smile during the curtain call.
The curtain call is when the audience will take pictures, so wear a smile. Depending on the type of show, you might want to stay in character for a few extra seconds before you break out into a smile. Also, if you have one last song to sing at the end, sing it loud and proud. 13
A. Just make sure the audience can’t tell.
B. This is when all of your hard work pays off.
C. Get good sleep for the last few nights before the performance.
D. Go over every aspect of the performance until you are satisfied.
E. It’s also polite to introduce your supporters to the other cast members.
F. Talk about exactly what you want to do on stage, and what you don’t want to do.
G. If you are performing an emotional scene, pull the audience into your tale so that it’s an enjoyable experience.

Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!”
“No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into mischief(trouble). Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.
Paragraph 1:
Robert was fast sinking.





Paragraph 2:
Thus, Robert’s life was saved.

答案
阅读理解
【答案】1-4 DBBA
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，对电影分析与其他文学作品形式分析做了比较和说明。
1.主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第三段内容可知，我们通常不“读”电影，这并不意味着我们在看电影时应该忽视文学或戏剧分析的原则，文学和电影确实有许多共同的元素，并以类似的方式传达许多东西。感性电影分析建立在文学分析的基础上，由此可知，本文主要介绍的是电影分析与文学分析之间的关系，故D项正确。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Unlike the novel, short story, or play, however, film is not handy to study; it cannot be effectively frozen on the printed page.”可知，电影不便于学习是因为它不能通过印刷剧本有效地表现出来，故B项正确。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Literature and films do share many elements and communicate many things in similar ways.”可知，一部好的电影和一个好的故事有很多相同的因素，故B项正确。
4.细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知，将电影分解成各种元素进行分析是一个有些人为的过程，因为任何艺术形式的元素，从来都不是孤立存在的。例如，不可能把情节与人物分开：事件会影响人，人也会影响事件。这两者总是紧密地交织在任何虚构、戏剧或电影作品中。由此可知，我们之所以不能把电影分成不同的元素来分析是因为这些元素是相互交织在一起、不可分离的，故A项正确。
【答案】5-8 AADC
【解析】科学家一直在探讨“谁是美洲最早的土著居民”这一问题，许多科学家运用殖民活动的时间、路线和人口来源及头骨对比分析甚至DNA分析等来论证，但仍是一个有争议的话题。
5.推理判断题。第二段提到，如果DNA检测证实了这个理论的话，这将动摇长期以来人们一直坚信的观点：一群往南迁徙的移民穿过白令海峡进入美洲后，发现无人在此居住，便占领了它。据此推断可得这些人从北方迁至南方，分析选项可知只有A（亚洲北部）在美洲的北部，而B、C、D的地理位置都在美国的南边，因此只有A是正确的。
6.细节理解题。根据第五段可知，在加利福尼亚半岛墨西哥这些头骨和美国土著居民那种宽头骨的特征极为不同。这些窄头骨的人种和南亚人、澳洲土著人和环南太平洋地区国家的人种有更多共同点。因此加利福尼亚半岛墨西哥这些头骨是窄的，故选A。
7.词义猜测题。分析文章可知，科学家一直在探讨“谁是美洲最早的土著居民”这一问题，在人类进化史上，最早在美国进行殖民活动的时间、路线和人口来源是一个最具争议性的话题。分析选项可知选D。
8.细节理解题。第一段提到的新理论和第二段长期以来人们一直坚信的观点（about the southerly migration of people who entered America across the Bering Strait, found it empty and occupied it）都在探讨、研究之中。再根据最后一段中的最后一句可知，对于DNA检测，冈萨雷斯博士拒绝透露确切的结果，因为研究结果还需要核实，他只是暗示这些DNA和澳大利亚人的血统是吻合的。由此可知C是正确的。
二、七选五
【答案】9-13 DCAGB
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何为戏剧表演做好准备的几点建议。
9.根据本空后的“While no show is perfect, with persistence, you can create a very satisfying end result.”可知，虽然没有演出是完美的，但你可以凭借意志力达到一个令人满意的结果，故D项（仔细检查演出的每个方面直到你满意为止。）符合语境。
10.根据本段中的“When you are in bed, picture yourself on the stage having a great time.”（当你躺在床上时，就想着自己在舞台上过得很开心。）可知C项（演出前的最后几个晚上要睡个好觉。）符合语境。
11.根据本空前的“When you aren’t saying lines, take deep breaths.”（当你不说台词的时候，深呼吸。）可知A项（确保观众看不出来。）符合语境。
12.根据本空前的“Be proud of your performance and display the emotion that your character is feeling.”（为你的表演感到自豪，努力表现出你的角色的真情实感。）可知G项（如果你在表演一个情绪化的场景，把观众拉进你的故事中，让人感觉这是一次非常愉快的经历。）符合语境。
13.根据本空前的“Also, if you have one last song to sing at the end, sing it loud and proud.”（如果最后你还有一首歌要唱，那就大声、自豪地唱出来吧。）可知B项（这是你所有的付出得到回报的时候。）符合语境。

Dear Charles,
How’s it going? I’m more than glad to tell you that an exhibition of English short plays will be put on in my school, for which I have written a script which is based on a Chinese classic Butterfly Lovers. Therefore, do you do me a favor?
As for the script, there must be some mistakes in grammar and inappropriate usage in words and expressions, so can you help me with some corrections if it is convenient for you? At the same time, are you available and willing to play a part in the play? I’m sure that the play must be very attractive.
I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
【解析】本篇书面表达属于应用文，要求写一封求助信。
第一步：审题
体裁：应用文
时态：根据提示，时态应为一般现在时和一般将来时。
第二步：根据关键要点，确定关键词，如：exhibition of English short plays（英语短剧展演），script（剧本），correction（改正），play a part in（扮演角色）等。
第三步：根据提示及关键词进行遣词造句，注意主谓一致和时态问题以及句子结构完整。
第四步：连句成文，注意使用恰当的连词进行句子之间的衔接与过渡，使之自然流畅，书写一定要规范清晰，保持整洁美观的卷面。
六、读后续写
【范文】
Paragraph 1:
Robert was fast sinking. It seemed as if Robert would be drowned. Just at the moment, Henry happened to be passing by. Hearing the screams, Henry ran to the riverside, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water without hesitation. He reached Robert just as he was sinking the last time. By great effort, and with much danger to himself, he brought Robert to the shore.
Paragraph 2:
Thus, Robert’s life was saved. Robert and his new friends were ashamed at having called Henry a coward. They realized that Henry had true courage. They said sorry to Henry for their rude behavior and asked for his forgiveness. Henry forgave them happily. He and Robert were friends again and they went home together as usual. From this, Robert learned what true courage was: never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil.
【解析】本篇考查的作文类型是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，罗伯特因为亨利不和自己去看别人打架，而和其他孩子一起嘲笑亨利是胆小鬼，亨利很伤心，但他并没有因为罗伯特的粗鲁行为而生他的气，而几天后，罗伯特和他的新朋友们在一条河里洗澡时罗伯特不幸溺水，而身边的朋友没有人试图帮助他。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：罗伯特迅速下沉。所以后文应该是讲述亨利碰巧经过，冒着危险救起了罗伯特的经过；第二段开头是：因此，罗伯特的生命得救了。本段应该写罗伯特被亨利救上岸后，罗伯特和他的新朋友们为叫亨利胆小鬼而感到羞愧。他们意识到亨利有真正的勇气。他们为自己的粗鲁行为向亨利道歉，并请求他的原谅。罗伯特也明白了什么是真正的勇气。
【名师点睛】文章还可以使用主语从句来完善细节，如What surprised was that Henry seemed to forget Robert’s taunts and jumped into the river to save Robert.；或运用同位语从句修饰先行词fact，可表达为：Robert learned a fact that someone should never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil.
