Section A
Directions:
For each blank in
the following passage there are four words or
phrases marked A, B,
C and D. Fill in
each blank with the word or phrase that best fits
the context.
Today's cinema has improved
a great deal in presentation. Gone are the golden
days when eager
crowds were packed on
wooden benches in poor buildings, which seemed to
be about to
50
in
the next minute. Audience
were staring, with great interest, at the funny
and amusing movements
of silent figures
on the screen. It was only through the body
movements and facial expressions that
the characters' feelings could be
51
to the audience .However ,film goers
all the same turned a
blind
eye
to
the
52
cinema
surroundings
and
seemed
crazy
about
almost
all
the
films.
Box
office
hits
were
a(n)
53
thing
and
stories
about
movie
stars
took
full
coverage
of
the
newspaper. They were
received with all
54
wordings compared with
today's pitiful stars who
are all the
time alert to such news as divorces or affairs.
Nowadays it is
quite easy to find a cinema that exceeds the hotel
luxury. Cinema are spacious ,
well-lit
places where one can kill time in comfort. Small
favours offered by modern cinemas such
as the well-printed booklets ,which are
55
available , the mouth-watering snacks
on sale and
even
the
gifts
are
all
sending
the
implied
message
to
the
audience
that
the
film
to
watch
will
provide the equivalent
56
. Audience,
on the other hand, don't always
57
the story. Before
a
film
is
released
,the
potential
spectator
is
usually
exposed
to
a(n)
58
of
advertisements.
Film
trailers(
预告片）
are
seen everywhere and crew interviews are televised.
And in tempting
people to enter cinemas
,second to none is
59
.People rely much on
friends' advice in choosing
films.
Once
the
audience
have
settled
on
the
chair,
the
cinema
is
learning
from
the
theatre .
The
projectionists
（放映员
) are to give the audience time to prepare
themselves for the film. Talk first
degrades
to
a
whisper
then
60
altogether.
Spotlights
are
focused
on
the
curtains
which
are
drawn slowly apart,
often in the
61
of music, to reveal title of the film.
Every detail has been
designed
so
thoughtfully
that
the
spectator
will
never
actually
see
the
62
screen,
which
will
remind
him all too sharply that what he is about to see
is nothing but different shadows flashing on
the white ,However much the cinema
tries to
63
theatre ,it fully succeeds .Nothing can

awe and
sense of expectation felt by the audience as the
curtain is slowly raised.

Section B
Directions:
read the
following three passages. Each passages is
followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them
there are four choices marked with A, B, C and D.
choose
the one that fits best according
to the information given in the passage you have
just read.
(A)
The Matterhorn of
Switzerland had been climbed hundreds of times
since it was first conquered
by Edward
Whymper in 1865. He, and the many that followed
him over the years, had scaled the
mountain by the relatively easy
southern approach. The
vertical(
垂直的）
northern face
presented
a
much
more
frightening
challenge .Although
some
climbers
had
scaled
the
north
wall,
their
attempts were made in summer. Experts
had predicted that it was unimaginable to make the
climb
in the winter.
Water
Bonatti
announced
that
he
was
going
to
attempt
a
winter
climb
of
the
near-vertical
ice-covered
northern
face
in
the
February.
What
was
shocking
was
that
he
intended
to
use
the
more direct route from
base to peak without any of the passes made by his
pioneers .It seemed a
suicidal bid.
Covered
in
a
yellow
wind-breaker,
Bonatti
gathered
his
skills,
nerves,
strengths
and
vigor
against
the
north
face.
Slowly
ad
carefully
,his
strong
but
cold-
stoned
fingers
searched
for
hand-holds. One false
move and he would plunge straight down thousands
of feet to his
higher he went, the
more the wind increased its force, striking him
with icy power, threatening to
dash him
onto the rocks below. After two tough days, he
reached 12,800 night,he napped
in a
hammock(
吊床）
between two stell
sticks hammered in the rock face.
At first light, he
continued ever upward ,without a thought of
turning back. The cruel, sub-zero
temperature
cracked
his
goggles(
护目镜）
and
he
struggled
his
hands
which
were bleeding, failed to settle on an
opening and he had to make attempts with his
instinct. His
tiring body was in pain
but still climbed up towards the peak.
At dawn on the fourth day, he was on
the edge of complete exhaustion ,but with victory
in sight,
he prepared himself for the
critical
trek
. Just after
three in the afternoon, excited spectators in the
helicopters saw Bonatti suddenly appear
crawling over the shining
tip of the mountain. He had
achieved the impossible and won the
world acclaim.
65.
Why was Bonatti's attempt regarded as
an impossible task?
A. Because no one
had climbed the mountain since the last conquest
by Whymper.
B. Because the mountain
presents the biggest challenge in the world.
C. Because no one had reached the peak
from the north in cold weather.
D.
Because the Swiss government forbade people to
climb the mountain in severe weather.
66. How did he manege to climb up?
A. He used the wind-breaker to locate
holes on the north face and climbed up.
B. He made his hands fish for openings
and relied on them to climb.
C. He took
advantage of steel hammer to climb up the
mountain.
D. He borrowed the force from
the ice to help him rise.
underlined
word
trek
in the last
paragraph is closest in the meaning to _____.
A. adequate rest
B. timely communication
C.
difficult journey
D. bad weather condition
ing to the passage, which of the
following statements is
TRUE
?
A. Bonatti used
to scale the mountain by the south approach.
B.
The negative influence from the wind decreased as
he climbed up.
C. Bonatti's success was witnessed by
people in the air.
D. Bonatti managed to climb
the mountain in two days.
