What benefits can you have from a film? A well-made film offers a whole world of things to watch. First there are the story aspects — the plot, characters, dialogue and themes. Then there are the technical aspects — the camera work, cuttings and special effects. And there are many other things, like the credits, musical score and the acting. A well-made film offers much more than you see in one viewing (观看).

Films are a means of communication. They can tell you things, just as newspapers do, or television, or any other means of communication. Sometimes they communicate important things to you, like ideas or lifestyles or ways of looking at the world. Sometimes people are aware of this, and sometimes not. The more you are aware of this, the better you are.

Notice, for example, the way films sometimes affect fashion. A star dresses or wears her hair in a certain way, and suddenly everyone is imitating (模仿) her. Boys in the 1950s could sometimes be seen wearing black leather jackets, idling (闲逛) on street corners and smoking cigarettes. They were imitating Marion Brando. His films taught them a certain way to behave.

Films can also teach politics. In Star Wars, the heroes were a bunch of lovable incompetents (无能者) fighting with guts (胆量) and not much else. They were, in fact, rather like the British in the early days of WWII. Their enemies, like the Nazis, had a big advantage in equipment and numbers of troops, and they were like the Nazis in discipline and heartlessness too. The whole film, in fact, was a re-run (重演) of WWII, and taught values like faith and love of liberty. This is all to the good, but the point is, did you notice it?

【小题1】The last underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.

B.a well-made film always attracts a number of viewers more than one time

A.Films are much more important than newspapers and television.

A.a motorist who always wore a black leather jacket
B.a homeless man who died of smoking too much finally
C.a lazy man who didn’t have any serious things to do

A cartoon cat, sick of the annoying mouse living in his home, plots to take him out with a trap loaded with cheese. The mouse, wise to his plan, safely removes the snack and walks away with a full belly.

You can probably guess what happens next. The story ends as it almost always does: with the cat yelling out in pain as yet another plan backfires.

The duo(二人组)was dreamt up from a place of desperation. MGM's animation department, where creators William and Joseph Barbera worked, had struggled to compete with other studios who had hit characters like Porky Pig and Mickey Mouse.

Out of boredom, the animators began thinking up their own ideas. Barbera said he loved the simple concept of a cat and mouse cartoon, with conflict and chase, even though it had been done countless times before.

Puss(猫咪)Gets the Boot was the first they released, in 1940. It was a hit and won the studio an Oscar nomination for best animated short. Jasper and Jinx, as they were first known, became Tom and Jerry.

According to Barbera there was no real discussion about the characters not speaking, but having grown up with silent films starring Charlie Chaplin, the creators knew they could be funny without dialogue.

Tom and Jerry, with its slapstick(闹剧) violence and dark comedy, remains extremely popular around the world today.

In the 80 years since their creation, the cat and mouse have appeared in everything from a “kids” version to a 1992 musical movie where they sang and spoke. Warner Brothers, who now own the rights to Tom and Jerry, will release a new live-action film just before Christmas this year.

【小题1】What are the first two paragraphs used as?
A.A hook.B.The background.
C.An example.D.The proof.
【小题2】Why was the mouse and cat duo made up?
A.Because they were the creators' favorite.
B.Because of Porky Pig and Mickey Mouse.
C.Because of MGM's competition with other studios.
D.Because of the conflict of enemy animals.
【小题3】What were the characters originally called?
A.William and Joseph.B.Jasper and Jinx.
C.Puss and Boot.D.Tom and Jerry.
【小题4】What does the writer feel about this silent cartoon?
A.Rejective.B.Sympathetic.C.Cautious.D.Fond.

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Once again, DC Comics and Warner Bros, have divided fans and critics -- over the superhero film Justice League.

【小题1】 There are a log of reshoots of scenes. A new director was brought in to finish the film after original director Zack Snyder’s tragic loss of his daughter. Of course, there was a lot of talk about Ben Affleck’s future in the role of Batman.

Some people are saying that Justice League is another big disappointment. They say it could have been incredible and instead fails to really entertain. Others say that Warner Bros have finally got it right and that the future for the League looks bright.

My opinion lies somewhere in the middle. The film was by no means a disappointment: It was both exciting and funny to watch. There is something special about watching the heroes from your childhood brought to life on the big screen. 【小题2】

However, I will say that a lot more work needs to be done if the producer wants to guarantee success in the future. Although the film was good, it was obvious which scenes had been reshot and how the characters had been changed. 【小题3】 These are the kinds of problems that you don’t expect to see in a film with such a big budget.

Another point to add is that it is good to see the producer making Superman a somewhat brighter character and adding some jokes to the plot to add to the fun, though there is , sadly, no post-credits scene(“彩蛋”). The producer must be careful, however, not to make the same mistake as many others in the industry have:making bright and colorful movies with rather poor stores.

Justice League is not a perfect film, but it is definitely not a terrible one. 【小题4】. For me, I hope that DC does not completely lose its darker side.

A.I also have to mention the several scenes in which the special effects were very badly done.
B.There had been worrying news about Justice League in the months before its release.
C.As far as I am concerned, the film is a marvel.
D.Definitely, a lot of work is still to be done.
E.Whether the film will be well received, especially among the young, still remains to be seen.
F.Perhaps that is affecting my opinion.
