three years hit the four most notorious(臭名昭著的)“vices” in the moviemaking process: kids, animals, water and 3-d, but reviews have said lees life of pi is “one of the years most beautiful, original and adventurous pictures”. based on the best-selling novel by yann martel, life of pi tells the story of pi, a young man who gets trapped at sea with a tiger after the ship carrying pis family and his fathers zoo from india to canada sinks. “visually, life of pi, which mixes real tigers with computer-generated effects, is like nothing seen on screen in some time, ”movie critic justin chang wrote in his review for variety magazine. “and the 3-d in particular is the best since perhaps avatar. ”lee told the new york film festival audience that life of pi was extremely hard to make. due to weather conditions and the difficulty of controlling animals, he said, only one-eighth of his planned shots were actually filmed. regardless of arduous conditions, lee was able to push an excellent lead performance from sharma, a newcomer who originally accompanied his brother to the studio before landing the role of pi himself. “by the end of it, i didnt feel like i was acting anymore, ”sharma recently told a hollywood reporter. “i was an instrument, of sorts, and lee pulled the emotion through me. it just went in and came out. ”the film isnt perfect, though. the new york times said theres “a clunky(笨重)moment of exposition at the end that feels entirely too on-the-nose”. but we know what to expect from lee, one of the most successful chinese directors in hollywood. one thing is for sure: he never disappoints. 1. justin chang thinks the film life of pi is. a. excellentb. ordinaryc. notoriousd. disappointing2. the film life of pi was hard to make partly because. a. lee was not familiar with 3-db. its difficult to deal with animalsc. there were too many shots to be filmedd. computer-generated effects were hard to produce3. it can be inferred that sharma. a. didnt like acting in the filmb. was turned into a machine by leec. had never expected to get the role of pid. went to ang lee to ask for the role of pi4. the underlined word “arduous”(in paragraph 5)means. a. difficultb. excellentc. stabled. unfamiliar5. we can learn from the last paragraph that. a. the ending of life of pi is quite disappointingb. lee is a chinese director who often confuses audiencesc. life of pi tells people that life is full of clunky momentsd. the new york times was a little unsatisfied with the endingbwhen i woke up this morning to learn that short-story writer alice munro had won the nobel prize for literature, i felt as happy as a canadian. munro is the writer i have loved the most and loved the longest. munro is only the 13th woman to win the nobel prize for literature, and she is a woman who writes well, i cant bring myself to say “wrote”, despite her announcement this summer that her recent collection, dear life, would be her last. anyway, she is a woman who writes about women and their concerns: love, security, jealousy, ambition, husbands, aging, housework, boredom, regret, and children. the younger women in her older stories are often poor, or very nearly so; the older women in her later stories are sometimes successful, or married to successful men. she returns so often to the same territory in rural ontario that her work has been called “southern ontario gothic”. but the fact that she writes about one particular place belies(掩饰)the diversity(多样性)of her characters personalities and desires: to know one girl in 20th-century rural ontario is not to know them all. munro is a writer who has greater reputation in the west, like last years chinese winner mo yan. munro has won the booker, the national book critics circle, the o. henry, and just about every other award and honor the continent has to offer. when i heard she won $10, 000 for something called the “harbourfront festival prize” a few weeks ago, i smiled to myself, imagining her rolling her eyes and cashing yet another check. not that she would ever roll her eyes: at 82, she has perfected the “overwhelming favorite acts humbly surprised upon winning” dance. “i knew i was in the running, yes, but i never thought i would win, ”she told the canadian media in a post-nobel phone interview this morning. 6. according to the passage, we know that. a. munro is the 13th canadian who has won the nobel prizeb. munro has decided to stop writingc. munro is good at writing long novelsd. munro is a young woman7. munros characters in her stories. a. are similarb. have different featuresc. are a girl in 20th-century rural ontariod. all have a happy marriage8. the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 means. a. if you know one person, you will know all the peopleb. one person in one place will stand for all the people therec. all the girls are the same in one placed. every person in one place has his/her own unique features9. which of the following is true about munro? a. she has won many awards. b. she is a friend of mo yan. c. she won $10, 000 for the nobel prize. d. she loves money very much. 10. when she knew she was offered the nobel prize, munro felt. a. astonishedb. encouragedc. movedd. excited【拓展题型训练】阅读第二节根据短文内容, 从下框af选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。 a. hard workb. principles for successc. active learnersd. a sense of humore. a successful sales teamf. a head start1. i was hired to do some training for a sales team from one of the largest companies in america. there were 16 people on this team. that year their sales (for the 16 of them) were close to 250 millionthats right, a quarter of a billion dollars! needless to say, it was an excellent and interesting time. i decided to learn a little bit myself, so i watched them closely to see what kind of people they were and to see what common characteristics they shared. 2. they simply werent a terribly serious bunch of people. instead, they saw that life was to be enjoyed and that means they were able to laugh a little bit. sure, there were varying levels in this but they all had a sense of humor. they were able to laugh at circumstances, and they were able to laugh at themselves. it was quite refreshing and the most important key to their success, im sure. 3. they didnt come from families that gave them a free pass into the upper rank of the business world and they didnt get a head start from upper outside universities. what got them to where they are now? hard work! thats right, another example that if you put your mind to it, work hard and get in the right situation, you can achieve great things! these folks work long hours and are disciplined in the work they do. and it is paying off. 4. they were always occupied in the learning process. during my sessions they were attentive and listening. you could see their minds processing the information. they were asking questions and applying the material to their work and their lives. they wanted to improve in any way that they could. it was also interesting to watch them in their team meetings led by their sales manager. they were very interactive and were learning from one another. none of them was above learning from a colleague. 5. what did i see in these successful people? the same things that can make you a success as you apply the principles to your own life: a sense of humor, hard work, and a desire to learn at every turn. 情景对话根据对话情景和内容，从对话后所给的选项中选出能填入每一空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两个为多余选项。after school, linda and james are talking on their way home.linda: i feel a bit tired after a whole days work. james: so do i. 1 linda:
