二、阅读理解
1、 In 1920, barely out of his teens, Alfred Hitchcock went to work for an American film company which had opened a studio in Islington, London. His first job at the studio was writing captions (脚本) for silent movies. Within two years, he was writing scripts(剧本) and working as an assistant director.
For the rest of the 1920s, Hitchcock worked on one film after another in Britain and Germany. Filming was often a rough-and-ready(匆忙做成的) affair and the assistant director was required to step in and plug gaps. A cameraman went missing, Hitchcock became a cameraman. A scene needed rewriting, Hitchcock rewrote it. Someone needed to be in charge of money when the film crew was on location, Hitchcock looked after the money.
At the same time, this being the era of silent movies, Hitchcock was learning the language of cinema: telling a story-not through dialogue, but through visual images(视觉影象). This led to his success later.
When he began to direct his own films, first in Britain and later in Hollywood, he was
determined to make films that held the audience's attention and kept tension(紧张感). He succeeded. Hitchcock's ability to put you on the edge of your seat makes him one of the greatest makers of suspense(悬念) movies.
(1)、Alfred Hitchcock's first job at the studio was writing captions for silent movies. A:T B:F
(2)、According to the context, \"step in and plug gaps\" (in Line 3, Para. 2) means asking for one's help. A:T B:F
(3)、Telling a story through dialogue prepared Hitchcock for his success later. A:T B:F
(4)、He was determined to draw the audience's attention and keep tension in his film-making. A:T B:F
(5)、He had taken up different jobs before he succeeded. A:T B:F
2、 Background music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the USA. Very soon it spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to background music.
To begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing (舒适的) atmosphere. Recently, however, it's becoming a big business. An American marketing expert has shown that music can boost(提升) sales or increase factory production by as much as a third. But it has to be the light music. Lively music has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts(收入) by 34%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they would like to buy. Yet, slow music isn't always the answer. The expert found that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play faster music to keep the customers moving-unless, of course, the resulting indigestion(消化不良) leads to complaints.
(6)、Background music was first used in the factories, shops and restaurants in the USA. A:T B:F
(7)、An American marketing expert has found background music can increase sales or factory production. A:T B:F
(8)、Slow music has no effect on sales. A:T B:F
(9)、Slow music is useless in factories in increasing sales. A:T B:F
(10)、Restaurant owners are advised to play lively music to increase overall sales. A:T B:F
3. For nearly a century before there was such a thing as a space program, a view of space was possible. People could see detailed views of the Moon, explore Mars, and study the geometric beauty of Saturn’s rings. All of this was made possible by a small group of artist-astronomers who made a career of illustrating how other worlds in space might look.
Lucien Rudaux, a French artist, was the first to combine his artistic talents with his knowledge of astronomy. His paintings show a mixture of skilled observations, brilliant imagination, and painstaking attention to detail. As a result, many of his works have come surprisingly close to actual conditions on distant planets. His painting of Mars included moonlike craters that were first photographed by the Mariner 4 Probe in 1965. His 1830 painting of a dust storm looks remarkably like a photograph of a storm taken by Orbiter 2 in 1976.
The artist-astronomers, including Rudaux, stimulated interest in outer space by painting what eventually turned out to be precise portraits of the planets.
11. What is the main idea of the passage? A) The amazing accuracy of space artists. B) The popular success of Lucien Rudaux. . C) The imaginations of great artists. D) The similarities of the Moon to Mars.
12. For how many years have people been able to see paintings showing the appearance of other planets?
A) Nearly five years. B) About fifteen years. C) About fifty years. D) Almost a hundred years.
13. According to the passage, artist-astronomers spent their lives ____. A) exploring the planets B) studying geometry C) creating images of space D) producing rockets for space travel
14. According to the passage, the works of Lucien Rudaux represent a combination of ____. A) astronomy and mathematics B) generalizations and specifics C) photography and illustration D) fact and fiction
15. According to the passage, what did Mariner 4 photograph? A) A space probe. B) The planet Mars. C) Craters on the Moon. D) Lucien Rudaux’s paintings.
