Unit 4 Stage and screen 电影是一门视觉和听觉的现代艺术,也是一门可以容纳戏剧、摄影、绘画、音乐、舞蹈、文字、雕塑、建筑等多种艺术的现代科技与艺术的综合体。而武侠电影就是这种文化的一种最好的体现。 History of Martial Arts Films The first martial arts film began in Hong Kong, China, in the early 1900s. During this time in China, western culture’s influence caused a decline(减少) in traditional values and practices. As a result, early martial arts films were artificial(虚假的) and held unreal elements(要素) describing sword sorcerers as characters used magical abilities such as flying through the air. However, they have changed greatly over the years, expressing a better quality of acting with the traditional martial arts, and the addition of sound. Wong Feihung Films Known as a legendary folk hero, Wong Feihung died in 1924. However, this famous martial artist lives on long after his death through films. About 62 films of Wong Feihung were produced from 1949 to 1959. These films preserved(保留) the real Chinese martial arts forms. Wong Feihung films used real weapons and proper martial arts forms. Wuxia Films Wuxia films were the next popular style martial arts films from the 1960 to 1980. These types of martial arts were often set in ancient China that held a lot of violent swordplay. The heroes were the underdogs,fighting for the lower class. They set out to fight the wrongs that were done by the oppressors. Kung Fu Films When people mention kung fu films, most naturally think of actor Bruce Lee, and rightly so. In the 1970s, these films brought out a more credible(可信的) form of martial arts. The films pushed the film industry toward unarmed battle rather than - 15 - the swordplay in earlier martial arts films. With the success of the Bruce Lee films, Chinese martial arts films started on an international rise. Current Films Martial arts films of today still use the real martial arts forms. However, a new theme has been added. With the introduction of Jackie Chan, comedy was added to these martial arts films in the late 1970s.Jackie Chan movies were deeply rooted in the style of classic kung fu. However, he also added a comedy element that has transformed the type into several mainstream movie hits(很受欢迎的人或事物).

Besides, watching TV is entertaining.There are many kinds of entertainment, such as sports activities, singing and dancing concerts, plays and films all over the world at every time.It’s not possible for us to go to every place to enjoy all the activities within a short time.We need at least over ten hours to fly from New York to Paris, a week by train from Beijing to Moscow and an hour to drive from Queens District to Manhattan District.But within just one second, TV can bring us from an NBA game in New York to a fashion show in Paris by changing the channels. - 15 - Most importantly, watching TV is educational.Our children can learn every kind of subjects through the educational programmes and the special reports on TV, and it’s easy for them to learn Chinese from a Chinese teacher in Beijing and to learn Russian lessons from a Russian teacher in Moscow.Even we can learn how to behave well from the TV plays.Besides, a teacher can teach millions of students without a huge classroom. 【解题导语】 看电视有很多好处,是一种休息方式,也是一种娱乐方式,更重要的是人们能够从中学到知识。 1.The best title for the text is ________.

Some people are worried about the effect on young people.“You need time to understand and think about what you read,”says Julia Wood, from London.“Young people search the net all the time and their brains become full of useless information but there is no time to make sense of it.I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer.” Other teachers are trying more unusual methods to improve students’ concentration.Anne Savan, from Wales, was so worried about her students that she started playing Mozart during her science lessons.She says that it had an amazing effect,“The music made them calmer, and their concentration was much better.” But not everyone believes that there is a problem.Ray Cole, an educational psychologist says,“On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isn’t worth reading.They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly, before stopping and reading a sixth useful website more carefully.In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill.” 【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。随着科技的发展,人们将大量时间花在浏览网站上,快速不断地浏览使人们的注意力时长越来越短;但是有人认为,浏览网站,可以提高年轻人的判断能力。 5.Why does the writer mention “goldfish”? A.To analyze data. B.To introduce a topic. C.To settle problems. - 15 - D.To suggest a way out. B 解析:推理判断题。文章第一段第一句说金鱼只能集中九秒钟的注意力;结合第一段的第二句But according to a new research, humans are becoming like goldfish.可知,人们正变得像金鱼一样;接着文章提出中心论点:由于技术发展,我们的注意力时长变得越来越短。据此可以判断,作者用金鱼的例子是为了引出文章主题,故B项正确。 6.What may cause a shorter attention span according to Dr.Ted Selker? A.Skipping around the Internet. B.Time to digest information. C.Traditional methods of reading. D.Making decisions. A 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的We move quickly from one site to another on the web及and we are losing the ability to concentrate可知,Ted Selker认为,由于人们快速浏览网站,人们正在丧失集中注意力的能力,故A项正确。 7.What will help students overcome a short attention span? A.Receiving emails. B.Texting messages. C.Reading more books. D.Watching quickie movies. C 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的最后一句I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer.可知,阅读更多的书将有助于学生克服注意力集中时间短的问题,故C项正确。 8.What is Ray Cole’s attitude towards looking through websites quickly? A.Cautious. B.Unfavorable. C.Skeptical. D.Supportive. D 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的But not everyone believes that there is a problem.及On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isn’t worth reading.可知,Ray Cole认为年轻人快速浏览网站可以提高快速判断的能力;据此可判断,Ray Cole对快速浏览网站持支持态度,故D项正确。 完形填空 After moving into my mother’s home to look after her following an illness, I found myself thinking about my own __1__.It was clear that I __2__ to find something that would help me __3__the house more often.
