starvation But the new movie Back to 1942, directed by Feng Xiaogang, who is perhaps Chinas most clever commercial movie director, brings this pain to life For some, Feng may be too commercial at timcs But with his new movie Back to1942, Feng might avoid such criticism The film, based on a novel by Liu Zhenyun, makes the audiences aware of Chinas history and the difficult times ourancestors faced when more than 3 million people lost their lives in 1942, a time when China was engaged in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression （19371945） This historic background provides the perfect material to create a wonderful movie And Feng is no stranger to using exciting elements, such as destructive natural disasters as seen in Aftershock（唐山大地震） and thrilling battle scenes as seen in Assembly（集结号） Combined with a strong cast, which includes Xu Fan, Zhang Guoli, Chen Daoming and Zhang Hanyu, it is almost certain that these elements will ensure the movie becomes a major box office hit, at least in China But this time, Feng seems to have set his eyes on the international market as wellJoininng the strong Chinese cast are two big names from Hollywood: Tim Robbins who plays a Catholic priest and Adrien Brody who plays American journalist Theodore White Many of the movies scenes, like the ones showing the bombing attacks by the Japanese army, are very Hollywood-style, both in terms of their scale and technical levelBut somehow, the movie, like many of its kind, such as White Deer Plain（白鹿原）, falls short on generating an emotional impact It seems to conflrm the old saying one man dying is a tragedy, but a million deaths is a statistic figureIn the end, the movie pictures a legend that will undoubtedly be treasured at home and; most likely, be filed abroad as another lesson in modern Chinese history-but one well worth remembering and learning fromFeng, famous for directing comedies, has spent 10 years preparing for his latest work When asked why he had been so determined to make the movie, Feng told, China has gone through numerous disasters, but the whole nation Jacks introspection（反省） on the sufferings, so I hope that audiences, especially young people, can learn more about the troubled history of the country56 What is the passage mainly about?A An introduction to Feng Xiaogangs successful careerB A brief account of Feng Xiaogangs new movie Back to 1942C An analysis of the reasons why Back to 1942 must also make a handsome profit D A brief description of the difference between Back to 1942 and Fengs former works57 The underlined word hit in Para2 probably means Asuccess Binjury Cbeat Dprogress58 Fengs Back to1942 differs from his previous movies mainly in its .A strong cast B historic backgroundC mtemational elements D emotional impacts59 Which of the following best describes the authors attitude towards Back t0 1942 ?A PrejudicedB ObjectiveC CautiousD DisappointedBA pill costing little more than &1 a day could save the lives of thousands suffering from a common heart disease British doctors have decided to use the drug, ivabradine, to treat patients with heart failure straight away, even though it has not yet been licensed for the disease in the UKMore than 700,000 people live with heart failure, which occurs when the organ becomes too weak to pump blcod efficiently round the body This can lead to fatigue, breathlessness, increased heart rate and other serious complications Around 100,000 people a year are thought to die from heart failure and many patients are repeatedly admitted to hospital because of their symptomsThe dramatic results from the trial of 6,500 patients-the biggest of its kind-found a 26 per cent cut in heart failure deaths, suggesting the lives of around 10,000 British patients could be saved each year The research also found ivabradine will help reduce the number of hospital admissions by 26 per cent, which would cut costsThe trial, carried out in 37 countries including the UK, showed particular benefits for patients who cannot take beta blockers （阻滞药） Beta blockers reduce the heart rate, giving it more time to fill with blood before the next beat But in as many as 50 percent of patients beta blockers do not work or have unpleasant side effectsAll the patients in the trial had high heart rates of around 77 beats per minute on averagelvabradine lowers the number of beats to around 60 per minute without reducing blood pressure, which means the damaged heart is pumping more efficiently at a slower rateProfessor Cowie, consultant cardiologist （心脏病学家） at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London, said, This is a very clean way of dropping the heart rate Patients on beta blockers complain of tiredness and many stop taking it At a very conservative estimate, prescribing ivabradine to eligible patients could save between 5,000 and 10,000 lives a year, he said60 This passage is most probably taken from .A a medical magazine B a govemment reportC an advertisement D a personal diary61 Ivabradine used on patients suffering from heart failure can .A raise breath B increase heart rateC reduce blood pressure D improve the heart pump62 We can learn from the underlined sentence that .A ivabradine can remove all the symptoms B ivabradine is effective in cleaning the heartC ivabradine is an environmentally friendly medicine D ivabradine has few side effects on heart failure patients63 What is the authors main purpose in writing the passage?A To analyze a major study B To praise some British doctorsC To introduce a drug for a heart diseaseD To persuade us to use a new drugCChina-A senior business official has expressed the hope that stronger economic ties between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations will not be affected
