A well­made film offers a whole world of things to watch. First there are the story aspects—the plot, characters, dialogue and themes. Then there are the technical aspects—the camera work, cuttings and special effects. And there are many other things, like the credits, musical score and the acting. A well­made film offers much more than you see in one viewing.

Films are a means of communication. They can tell you things，just as newspapers do，or television，or any other means of communication. Sometimes they communicate important things to you，like ideas or lifestyles or ways of looking at the world. Sometimes people are aware of this, and sometimes not. The more you are aware of this，the better you are.

Notice, for example, the way films sometimes affect fashion. A star dresses or wears her hair in a certain way，and suddenly everyone is imitating her. Boys in the 1950s could sometimes be seen wearing black leather jackets, idling (閑逛) on street corners and smoking cigarettes. They were imitating Marion Brando. His films taught them a certain way to behave.

Films can also teach politics. In Star Wars, the heroes were a bunch of lovable incompetents fighting with guts(膽量) and not much else. They were，in fact, rather like the British in the early days of WWⅡ.Their  enemies，like the Nazis, had a big advantage in equipment and numbers of troops, and they were like the Nazis in discipline and heartlessness too. The whole film, in fact, was a rerun of WWⅡ， and taught values like faith and love of liberty. This is all to the good，but the point is, did you notice it?

67. All of the following are mentioned as noticeable   aspects of a film EXCEPT________.

A. the list of names of actors and directors，etc.

B. the cost of a film

C. the music for a film

D. the language used in a film

68．The last sentence in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.

A. a high quality film can be appreciated repeatedly  from different angles

B. a good film always attracts a lot of viewers

C. a well­made film usually has more than one theme

D. one can never find out how many characters there    are in a good film

69．It can be inferred from the passage that in his film，Marion Brando was ________.

A. a motorist who always wore a black leather jacket

B. a homeless man who died of excessive smoking

C. a rebellious man during WWⅡ

D. an idler who didn't have any serious things to do

70．Star Wars is a film________.

A. about WWⅡ    B. for politics

C. reflecting WWⅡ     D. for peace lovers

Nobel, who was born in Stockholm, is a great scientist famous for his dangerous experiments.
Nobel studied in the USA and then Russia between 1850 and 1859. After his return, he started researching into bombs. As is known, bomb is dangerous to life, but Nobel was working under that condition. Once a big explosion in his lab completely destroyed the lab and caused some deaths. After that he had to experiment on a boat in a lake. He received criticism and satire(諷刺), but he proceeded with the work rather than losing heart. From 1860s to 1880s, Nobel made many achievements and his inventions were first used in building roads and digging tunnels. Most of the bombs were safer and more possible to be controlled. Even at the end of the 20th century, we still used his methods.
Nobel had many patents in Britain and other European countries. He was quick to see industrial openings(機(jī)會) for his scientific inventions and built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries. Indeed his greatness lay in his outstanding ability to combine the qualities of an original scientist with those of a forward­looking industrialist.
But Nobel’s main concern was never with making money or even with making scientific discoveries. Seldom happy, he was always searching for a meaning to life, and from his youth, he had taken a serious interest in literature and philosophy. His greatest wish, however, was to see an end to wars, and thus peace between nations, and he spent much time and money working for this cause. To follow his will, a fund was set up to encourage people to make great progress in physics, chemistry, physiology(生理學(xué)), medicine, literature and peace. That’s the Nobel Prize which means great honor to a scientist.
【小題1】Through his early experimental work, it is evident that ________.

A．Nobel was a man of strong will
B．Nobel was a man of gift
C．Nobel seldom got on well with his work
D．Nobel had his heart in his work
【小題2】In fact, his inventions were first used in ________.
A．a(chǎn) war to kill and injure his fellow menB．building roads
C．digging tunnelsD．both B and C
【小題3】Based on the passage, Nobel, as a scientist, ________.
A．took a single interest in science
B．took a serious interest in money
C．took no interest in literature
D．took a serious interest in literature as well as in science
【小題4】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．His wonderful will surely provided other scientists with a large sum of money.
B．In leaving behind a well­meant will, Nobel succeeded in setting up a permanent monument for his interests and ideals.
C．Nobel made a glorious will so that he might be remembered and respected after his death.
D．Nobel expressed his wish in his will that a monument should be put up in memory of him.

The UK has a well­respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. But to those who are new to it all， sometimes it can be confusing.
October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar. Universities have something called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends， join lots of clubs and settle into university life.
However， having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind， the prospect(前景) of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve­wracking(令人頭痛的). Where do you start？ Who should you make friends with？ Which clubs should you join？
Luckily， there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don’t rush into anything that you’ll regret for the next three years.
Here are some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers’ Week：
●Learn rules. Make sure you know British social manners. Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.
●Be kind. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends.
●Be sociable. The more active you are， the more likely you’ll be to meet new people than if you’re someone who never leaves their room.
●Bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you’re friendly.

Today, we complete our story about the influential English writer William Shakespeare. He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, which remain very popular today.

During earlier times, people would probably have learned several ancient Roman and Greek plays. It was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works. For example, in Shakespeare’s play “The Comedy of Errors”, Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer Plautus. For his play “Macbeth”, Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information. Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers, but the intensity（強(qiáng)度）of his imagination and language made the plays his own. While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten, Shakespeare and his art live on.

Shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him. He described the sights and sounds of London in his plays. His works include observations about political struggles, the fear of diseases, and the popular language of the city’s tradesmen. Shakespeare’s knowledge of the English countryside is also clear. His works include descriptions of deep forests, local flowers, and the ancient popular traditions of rural people.

It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeare’s works have influenced the world culture. But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language. During his time, the English language was changing. Many new words from other languages were being added. Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones. For example, he created the noun forms of “critic”, “mountaineer” and “eyeball”. Many common expressions in English come from his plays, including “pomp and circumstance（裝腔作勢）” from “Othello”, “full circle（繞圈子地）” from “King Lear”, etc. The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is almost endless. From paintings to television to music and dance, Shakespeare was well represented. Shakespeare’s plays have been translated into every major language in the world.

Shakespeare became a well­known writer during a golden age of theater. His years of hard work paid off.

1. From the passage, we can see that ________.

A. Shakespeare was hard­working when he was a student

B. many of Shakespeare’s works were influenced by earlier writings

C. the experience of living in London had no effect on Shakespeare’s works

D. Shakespeare became rich later because of the popularity of his works

2. Why could Shakespeare’s works survive his time?

A. Because there were so few people writing plays in his time.

B. Because he produced too many works that nobody else could do.

C. Because his works were rich in imagination and language.

D. Because he was a rich and influential person of his time.

3.Shakespeare’s greatest influence should be on 　　　　.

A. paintings      B. television

C. the English language           D. music and dance

4.The passage is mainly about 　　　　.

A. an introduction to Shakespeare’s life and his works

B. the main features and styles of Shakespeare’s plays

C. Shakespeare’s greatest influence on the world culture.

D. how culture influenced Shakespeare and he influenced culture.
