The Greek sculptor Pygmalion carved a statue and fell in love with it. Aphrodite (the goddess of love) turned the statue into a living woman named Galatea, who then became Pygmalions wife. The Shavian Pygmalion is Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, who picks up a flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, teaches her to speak as educated people do, and then successfully passes_her_off_as a duchess. But she is a human being and cannot be treated as a machine. In the course of all his experiments and exhibitions, the professor only thinks of his own skill success and failure, but never stops to consider how the girl feels. When the experiment is over, he has a profound sense of relief that he has achieved triumph and has won his bet. Even now，the sentiment of the girl is of no account. The girl naturally protests against this dehumanized relationship between her and her teacher. She hurls the professors slippers at him when he wants them and then leaves his place. But evidently, she has begun to feel for the professor and wants also to be felt for. Now the question is what is the nature of Elizas feelings for the professor with whom she has lived in close association for so long? In the last act, the girl says she would not marry him even if he had proposed (求婚) to her. The professor, curiously ineffectual (无效的) to sexual emotions, does not love any girl because he finds them to be rivals (对手) to his own mother. He wonders, if Eliza does not want to marry him, then what does she want from him? Old Mrs. Higgins, who knows much about a woman says that it would have been better if he had thanked her and petted her and told her how wonderful she had been. Then perhaps she would not have fought with him. Every girl loves to be loved. Eliza herself says that she loves Freddy and he also loves her. Professor Higgins, however, remains as ever, an old bachelor. 1What does the underlined phrase “passes her off as” in Paragraph 2 mean? ALet her pretend to be. BDress her up as.CMake her become. DTurn into. 2What kind of person do you think Higgins is according to the second paragraph? AHe is a kind man.BHe is a considerate man.CHe is a selfish man.DHe is a rude man.3Why does not Eliza marry Higgins? Because _Ashe does not love himBhis mother does not like any girl to be her rivalChe likes to be a bachelorDhe doesnt love any girl for fear of them being his mothers rivals4Which of the following statement is TRUE?AShaw was in fact a Greek sculptor.BHiggins was experimenting with Eliza.CEliza wanted to become an educated lady very much.DHiggins fell in love with Eliza at first sight.答案与解析语篇导读：萧伯纳的著名戏剧卖花女具有经久不衰的艺术魅力，描述的是语言学教授希金斯如何把一名卖花姑娘训练成英语发音被上流社会接受并认可的故事，从而抨击了当时英国腐朽保守的等级意识。1A词义猜测题。根据前文的“teaches her to speak as educated people do”以及下文的“In the course of all his experiments and exhibitions”可知该短语的意思是“把某人冒充或假装为”。2C推理判断题。根据第二段第三句可知希金斯只考虑自己的成败得失，从不考虑伊莉莎的感受，显然他是一个自私的人。3D细节理解题。根据最后一段第三句可知伊莉莎不会嫁给希金斯，因为希金斯担心未来的妻子会成为他母亲的对手，所以他不敢爱上任何一个女孩。4B细节理解题。根据第二段可知希金斯只是把伊莉莎当成一个试验品。故B正确。BMinutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theaters 75year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the buildings end.The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with tearyeyed audience wanting to say goodbye to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theaters location(位置) was also a reason. “This used to be the center of town，” he said. “Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.”Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.The theater audience said goodbye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time.
