My spirits ebb, as they did during an April snowfall when I first came to Maine 15 years ago. Just wait, a neighbor advised. Youll wake up one morning and spring will just be here. And look, on May 3 that year I awoke to a green so amazing as to be almost electric, as if spring were simply a matter of flipping a switch. Hills, sky and forest revealed their purples, blues and green. Leaves had unfolded and daffodils were fighting their way heavenward. Then there was the old apple tree. It sits on an undeveloped lot in my neighborhood. It belongs to no one and therefore to everyone. The trees dark twisted branches stretch out in unpruned（未经修剪的） abandon. Each spring it blossoms so freely that the air becomes filled with the scent of apple. Until last year, I thought I was the only one aware of this tree. And then one day, in a bit of spring madness, I set out with pruner to remove a few disorderly branches. No sooner had I arrived under the tree than neighbors opened their windows and stepped onto their porches(门廊). These were people I barely knew and seldom spoke to, but it was as if I had come uninvited into their personal gardens. My mobile-home neighbor was the first to speak. Youre not cutting it down, are you? she asked anxiously. Another neighbor frowned as I cut off a branch. Dont kill it, now, he warned. Soon half the neighborhood had joined me under the apple tree. It struck me that I had lived there for five years and only now was learning these peoples names, what they did for a living and how they passed the winter. It was as if the old apple tree was gathering us under its branches for the purpose of both acquaintanceship and shared wonder. I couldnt help recalling Robert Frosts words: The trees that have it in their pent-up buds To darken nature and be summer woods One thaw led to another. Just the other day I saw one of my neighbors at the local store. He remarked how this recent winter had been especially long and complained of not having seen or spoken at length to anyone in our neighborhood. And then, he looked at me and said, We need to prune that apple tree again. 25. By saying that “my spirits ebb” (Para. 1), the author means that _. A. he feels blueB. he feels relievedC. he is surprisedD. he is tired26. The apple tree mentioned in the passage is most likely to _. A. have been abandoned by its original owner B. be regarded as a delight in the neighborhood C. have been neglected by everyone in the community D. be appealing only to the author27. According to Para. 4, why did the neighbors open their windows and step onto their porches? A. They were surprised that someone unknown was pruning the tree. B. They wanted to prevent the author from pruning the tree C. They were concerned about the safety of the tree D. They wanted to get to know the authorCMy daughter went to see The Wild One recently and she commented that Marlon Brando was wearing jeans so long ago. Of course he helped set the trend, so that got me thinking about the link between films and trends in fashion. Fashion and films have gone hand in hand for long. The Wild One is a good example: it appeared in 1954, starring Brando. Dressed in a black leather motorcycle jacket, leather cap and jeans, he created a look which is still considered “cool” today. Everyone from Madonna to middle-aged men is seen wearing the classic leather motorcycle jacket.Another strong influence on fashion trends was Breakfast at Tiffanys, starring Audrey Hepburn. She made famous the simple black dress that looks perfect at either a cocktail party or just standing around an expensive department store like Tiffanys with a pastry and coffee in your hand, as Audrey Hepburn does in the film. She looks so elegant, wearing simple but beautiful dresses, big dark glasses and a string of pearls around her neck. Audrey Hepburn still influences womens fashion with her “Tiffanys look”. In more modern times, the film star Uma Thurman created a major fashion trend when she appeared in the film Pulp Fiction, made in 1994. Her style was very simple. Her black trousers, crisp white shirt and hair style was copied by women in the world. Influencing fashion trends can often be about timing. The movie Memoirs of a Geisha came just in time to start a trend in Japanese fashion. It started the Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, who wore beautiful silk kimonos(和服), and it won an Oscar for Costume Design. Many travel companies picked up on the trend and ran “geisha trips” to Japan. The film has also led to a regained interest in kimonos. It is now quite common to see young Japanese women wearing kimonos not just on traditional occasions, but at various social events. The fashion is also beginning to spread to western countries. 28. What is the best title of the passage?A. Films and fashion. B. Stars fashion.C. Influential films. D. Film cultures. 29. Who will people associate Madonna wearing the leather motorcycle jacket with?A. Zhang Ziyi. B. Audrey Hepburn. C. Uma Thurman. D. Marlon Brando.30. What is implied in the film Breakfast in Tiffanys according to the passage?A. One can be active by wearing black.B. One can be elegant by wearing simply.C. One can be famous by looking perfect.D. One can be stylish by eating at Tiffanys.31. What does the film Memoirs of a Geisha lead to?A. The popularity of the Chinese actress.B. The worldwide reading of Geisha stories.C. The recovery of interest in kimonos.D. The “geisha trips” to social events.
