Ⅲ.阅读理解(共4小题;每小题2分,满分8分)
Director Ang Lee’s spy thrille Se,Jie(Lust,Caution) was the surprise winner of the top award
at the Venice film festival on Saturday,just two years after he won with Brokeback https://www.wendangku.net/doc/0112472493.html,n directors have won the Golden Lion on the Lido waterfront for the past three
years.The Silver Lion for best director went to US film maker Brian De Palma,whose film
shocked audiences with its brutal(残忍的)reconstruction of the real-life rape and
murder of a
14-year-old Iraqi girl by U S soldiers in 2006.
The movie is a World WarⅡ thriller set in the occupied Shanghai featuring long,and
sometimes violent,sex scenes.It’s Lee’s return to the theme of forbidden love after gay cowboy hit
Brokeback.
Setting in the streets of the 1940s Shanghai,the film centers on a group of revolutionary
students bent on killing a powerful political figure who co-operated with occupying forces during
the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
First-time actress Tang Wei portrays the young woman who agrees to ensnare(诱捕)the sinister(险恶的)figure,played by one of Asia’s biggest screen stars,Tony Leung. Lee told the red-carpet prize ceremony that Lust,Caution took him to “some very difficult
places”.The sometimes violent sex scenes between them were a major talking point in Venice,and
Lee hinted to reporters they were real.
The main competition line-up of 23 movies was strong on political cinema,with two US
entries concerning the war in Iraq alongside pictures about migrant workers in Britain,police
brutality in Egypt and corporate corruption in New York.
Todd Haynes,one of six US productions in competition,scooped the other runner-up slot
with I’m Not There,his conceptual biopic about singer-song writer Bob Dylan. Australian-born Cate Blanchett was one of six performers to play the singer at various stages
of her life,and it paid off when she was named best actress in Venice.
Hollywood star Brad Pitt was the surprise winner of the best actor award for his portrayal of
legendary outlaw Jesse James in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
Asked to explain controversial choices,jury president Zhang Yimou said:“Even if we had
all the force and power of heaven,we would not have been able to give a decision that would
please everyb ody.”
36.From the passage we can conclude that ________.
A.the film festival is held in Venice annually
B.Ang Lee has never won such an award in the film festival before
C.Brian De Palma is a character in an American film
D.people show no concern about the situation the Iraqis are in
37.The film Lust,Caution ________
A.is set in the occupied Shanghai in 1940.
B.is an all-star cast.
C.is the only successful film Ang Lee has ever made.
D.describes several young people who love their country.
38.The underline d word “controversial” in the last paragraph might mean ________. A.being talked about in quite different ways
B.accepting something as the same
C.talking about something in a secret way
D.talking about something openly
39.The purpose of the passage is ________.
A.to introduce a prize-winning film
B.to show that people are cautious about the topic of sex and violence
C.to make all the actors and actresses known to us
D.to inform us that Zhang Yimou is the president of the jury during the film festival 参考答案
1.A [afford“付得起,买得起”。]
2.A [fail在此用作及物动词,意为“使失望;辜负”。句意“我想感谢他从着火的房子中救
出我的儿子,可是我却不知道说什么才好”。]
3.A [本题极可能误选B。本句实际考查强调句型在具体语境中的省略。其完整形式应是:It is the children who are making so much noise in the garden.是孩子们在花园里弄出了这么
大的声音。]
4.B [“make+it+adj.+to do”是固定结构。]
5.C [“owe...to...”“把……归功于……”。]
6.C [“it takes...before...”是固定句型。]
7.A [How do you find...?相当于What do you think of...?“你认为……怎么样?”] 8.A [“when+过去分词”表示“当被……时”。]
9.D [hoping是现在分词作伴随状语。]
10.A [make可用作连词系动词,意为“变为、变成”。不用进行时和被动语态。]
11.C [it’s not my fault.意为“这不是我的错”。]
12.C [think nothing of it有“觉得……不怎么样”之意。此处用作交际用语,意为“不用谢”。]
13.C [“It is high time+that从句”,从句需用虚拟语气,即用一般过去时或“should +动词
原形”。]
14.B [本句为感叹句,变为正常语序就是:The mother felt a great weight taken off her mind
the moment she found her lost son.其中take off(减轻)在此句中是用其过去分词形式作宾
补。在感叹句中,主句的宾语被提到了句首。句意:当她发现了自己失踪的儿子时,这
位母亲感到如释重负呀!]
15.B [本题考查连词用法。固定句型It will(won’t)/was(wasn’t)+短时间名词短语+before
+一般现在时/一般过去时。表示“过多长时间/过不了多长时间才/就……”。]
【解题导语】作者始终没有把儿子患有先天性畸形足的情况告诉他,对此毫不知情的
儿子凭借顽强的意志和不懈的努力实现了自己的梦想。

相呼应。]

不能和其他孩子一样奔跑自如。]
24.C [空后的“did not come naturally to him”有暗示。]
25.C [此处表示的是让步关系,“虽然”整个队都参加训练,但只能选拔最优秀的七名队员
参加比赛。]
26.D [经过选拔后,只有最优秀的七名队员才有“机会”为学校赢得荣誉。]

英里。]
