I fell in love with England because it was quaint （古雅）— all those little houses, looking terri??bly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.

Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good man??ners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good man??ners — people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.

I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.

As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public trans??port after 10 p. m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.

The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.

56. The writer doesn’t like London because she ______.

       A. is not used to the life there now

       B. has lived there for seventeen years

       C. prefers to live in an old-fashioned house

       D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there

57. Where do people usually meet their friends in England?

       A. In a cafe.         B. In a restaurant.        C. In a nightclub. D. In a pub.

58. The underlined part “it” （in Para. 4） refers to______.

       A. a taxi       B. the money        C. a bomb     D. public transport

59. The writer took her neighbour to France for Christmas because he ______.

A. felt lonely in England              B. had never been to France

C. was from a typical French family     D. didn't like the British idea of family

The blockbuster film Titanic has brought millions of dollars and thousands of people to the theaters and continues to touch people today in their homes. Why is this film so successful? It is a combination of many different things. Among these are many different elements. Looking at some of these elements will show how the director and others involved were able to create an emotionally charged movie that appealed to millions.

The film uses one thematic(主題的) element called - The Truth of Human Nature. The two main characters seem to represent noble people. Most of the other characters in the film are shown as non-tolerant, rude and cold-hearted people. The element of focusing on the two main characters' love and emotion seems symbolic of an ideal state.

There are also social problems addressed. This is done in a few different ways. The most noticeable way is that the lower class people remain locked in the basement as the ship goes down. Throughout Titanic, the lighting is very important. The poor, lower class people are always shown in very warm-coloured light that gives them a sense of life and happiness. On the other hand, the rich, upper class are always shown in a flat light portraying the feeling of hardness and coldness. By using these techniques, they show the issue of class segregation(種族隔離), and they create stereotypes. The main characters are able to break free of these stereotypes and be together. This is the solution to the segregation problem.

As you can see, Titanic took a lot of thinking and preparation to film in a manner that would create emotion and bring to the surface the issues and story of the great ship.

1.The underlined word “blockbuster” in the first paragraph probably means “________”．

A．something very successful

B．a(chǎn) highly explosive bomb

2.In Titanic, the scene of the lower class people remaining locked in the basement as the ship goes down is used to ________.

A．criticize non-tolerant and cold-hearted rich people

B．enlarge the scene of the film

C．make the film more attractive

D．emphasize the condition of the poor at that time

3.Why were different colours of light used in the film Titanic? ________

A．They were used to show the difference between the rich and the poor.

B．The director was determined to achieve good visual effect.

C．The social status was represented by the color of light in the past.

D．The use of light was the main technique the director made use of.

4.What can we infer from the passage? _________

A．The segregation problem in the society can be solved by using the light.

B．Though love is the main theme of Titanic, it also reflects some social problems.
