13．This is a story told or read to children of young ages．The heroine（女主人公），Cinderella，treated cruelly by her stepmother and her two ugly stepsisters，is helpless until the right magic comes along．She meets her prince and they live together happily．
　　Just a sweet，pretty tale？Not in the view of Ellen Macintosh，who has written much about fairy tales．Ellen's main concern is with what the story implies．
"Instead of standing up to her cruel stepmother and stepsisters，Cinderella just waits for a fairy godmother to appear and solve her problem．But wouldn't you want a daughter of yours to show more spirit？"
　　The story is long-lasting，whatever its shortcomings，and it does't take much to see its influence on a number of recent Hollywood productions．In these versions for the silver screen，the Cinderella character no longer has to clean the house and has no sisters to make her life terrible，though she keeps the way of not showing much courage．The character of the rich and handsome stranger，however，is kept，and in some cases really is a prince．The role of the fairy godmother is often played by luck； we live in a civilized age when even very young children might reject the idea of fairies．In the majority of film versions，the heroine has a profession and is even permitted to continue working after marrying her prince-this is the twenty first century，after all．
　　Doesn't the success of these films indicate that the story has relevance to children even today？"Yes，admits Ellen，who sees its message as being rooted in a fundamental childhood desire for love and attention．"Most children experience a sense of inner loneliness as they are growing up and empathize with （與…共鳴）the character who faces some sort of challenge．This can be seen in the original story of Cinderella，where the fairy godmother tells the heroine that she must learn to be gracious and confident if she is to go to the ball．She has to grow spiritually，and by maturing，she becomes attractive to the prince，thus ensuring that the ending of the story will be happy．""In the later versions，thus element（因素）is missing，"says Ellen，"and the theme of the story is simply that a girl's role in life is to be more beautiful than other girls so that she can carry off the prize：the handsome prince．Is this really what we want girls to grow up believing？"

43．Why does Ellen disapprove of the Cinderella story？C
A．The plot is too simple．
B．The description is not vivid．
C．The heroine is not brave enough．
D．The story is unfit for the children today．
44．In the film versions of the Cinderella story，A．
A．luck plays an important role in the heroine's happy life
B．Cinderella's family background remains unchanged
C．the heroine becomes a successful career woman
D．the character of the prerace is removed．
45．According to Even，the film versions of the storyC　　
A．succeed because of the happy ending
B．ignore the children's psychological need'
C．deliver a mistaken message that beauty is everything
D．reflect modem people's attitude towards challenges in life
46．What is the purpose of the passage？D
A．To analyze the characters of the Cinderella story．
B．To introduce different versions of the Cinderella story．
C．To explain the changes of the Cinderella story over time．
D．To present a different understanding of the Cinderella story．

分析 本文介紹了灰姑娘的故事．女主角灰姑娘，受她的繼母和她的兩個丑姊姊虐待，無奈直到正確的魔法出現(xiàn)．她遇到了王子，最后他們幸福地生活在一起．文后也論述了這樣的故事被推崇的理由．

解答 43．C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第三段艾倫希望女兒能表現(xiàn)出更多的勇氣"But wouldn't you want a daughter of yours to show more spirit？"，他不贊同灰姑娘童話的原因是女主人公不夠勇敢．從"The plot is too simple．"可看出．故選C
44．A．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第三段從"Cinderella just waits for a fairy godmother to appear and solve her problem．"可知，辛德瑞拉需要依靠教母來解決問題．而第四段"The role of the fairy godmother is often played by luck"圣母的角色由運氣上演．因此在電影版的辛德瑞拉中，運氣具有很重要作用．故選A．
45．C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)結尾"and the theme of the story is simply that a girl's role in life is to be more beautiful than other girls so that she can carry off the prize：the handsome prince"可知，艾倫表示電影版的故事的主題是女孩的角色就是通過更漂亮來奪取英俊的王子又從"and the theme of the story is simply that a girl's role in life is to be more beautiful than other girls so that she can carry off the prize：the handsome prince"看出，電影版的故事傳達了錯誤的道理，認為漂亮就是一切．故選C．
46．D．主旨大意題．根據(jù)全文，通過報道艾倫對辛德瑞拉故事不同與傳統(tǒng)觀點，描述了對辛特瑞拉故事的不同理解．故選D．

點評 本文考察學生文學類閱讀文章的閱讀水平，閱讀這類文章時，也應該在整體把握文章結構的前提下，主要注意細節(jié)信息．細節(jié)題題干都是相應原文的變形（如同義改寫、詞性轉換等），因此要找到答案一定要找到題干在原文中的出處，再把原文和選項相比較．做題時，根據(jù)所提問題用尋讀、跳讀的方法可達到事半功倍的效果

1．The reason I wanted to see So Young is that it's Zhao Wei's directorial debut（處女秀）．I guess I didn't expect much else．
So Young has everything a popular youth film should have：Beautiful young actors，a story about colorful campus life and involved romance，and a strong sense of longing for something past．
The leading female character Zheng Wei （Yang Zishan） enrolls at university to stay close to her childhood sweetheart Lin Jing （Han Geng）．But when Lin moves abroad to pursue his education，life loses its shine for Zheng．Until she meets the dynamic yet cool Chen Xiaozheng （Mark Chao）．
The film also features a bunch of vivid supporting characters：The school beauty who falls in love with a worthless unimportant person，the rich kid who is rejected by his dream girl，and Zheng's boyish roommate with a huge ego（自我）．
Together they put on quite a show under Zhao's direction and her smooth and aesthetic camera work．You'll find yourself laughing over their trivial yet funny life on campus in the early 1990s．As expected，the film's second half takes the audience to years later when the characters have moved on into different corners of society．But the film unexpectedly doesn't focus on the comedic vibe and turns into a serious discussion about the meaning of life and love．Through the events in their current life and flashbacks of their college years，the film describes how life has changed these characters．And that's where the film goes wrong．
The emotional change of the characters seems overhasty，If you watch the 2011youth film You're the Apple of My Eye，you'll find that the film's resonance（共鳴）with the audience accumulates from the beginning-through details like sexual fantasies and so on-and peaks in the end．In So Young，the sudden emotional touch with endless splendid lines just isn't enough to strike our hearts．
Zhao also clearly wanted to give every character a proper ending．But unfortunately she tried a bit too hard，making the film's second half feel lengthy and unedited．
Even so，given my reasonably low expectations，Zhao still gets full credits for her effort as a first-time director．Without her insightful input and observations，I think the film would have been worse．
Just as time wrinkles the skin but enriches the soul，an ordinary film may as well be the best motivation for Zhao to make better ones in the future．

41．Which of the following is correct according to this passage？D
A．This film has everything a popular fiction film should have．
B．The leading female character goes to college to have a bright future．
C．The school beauty who falls in love with a boy with a huge ego．
D．A bunch of vivid supporting characters make the film more colorful．
42．That the film goes wrong mainly becauseC．
A．the film involves the characters'trivial yet funny life on campus．
B．the film describes the characters'current life and flashbacks of their college years
C．the film doesn't focus on the comedic vibe but turns into a serious discussion about the meaning of life and love
D．the film describes how life has changed these characters
43．The word"overhasty"in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning toC．
A．surprising        
B．obvious           
C．hurried         
D．complicated
44．Zhao still gets full credits for her effort as a first-time director，becauseD．
A．the film would have been worse
B．she made the film's second half feel lengthy and unedited．
C．she had insightful input and observations．
D．the author didn't give high expectations to this film
45．The attitude of the author towards this film isB．
A．a(chǎn)ppreciative         
B．objective          
C．critical            
D．doubtful．

8．Characters in novels don't always do what the writer wants them to do．Sometimes they cause trouble，take on lives of their own，or even work against the writer．It's not just a problem for inexperienced authors：famed children's novelist Roald Dahl said he got the main character in his book Matilda so"wrong"that when he'd finished his first version，he threw it away and started again．
Of course it's not the characters'fault．The problem lies with the author．Take Stephen King，who admitted that writing working-class characters is more difficult nowadays because his own circumstances have changed．"It is definitely harder，"King said．"When I wrote Carrie many years ago，I was one step away from physical labour．"
This is also true for characters'ages，added King．"When you have small children，it is easy to write young characters because you observe them and you have them in your life all the time．But your kids grow up．It's been harder for me to write about this little 12-year-old girl in my new book because my models are gone．"
For other authors，such as Karen Fowler，there's one quality that can stop a character in its tracks：boredom．"I had particular problems with the main character in my historical novel Sister Noon，"she says．"She had attitudes about race and religion that seemed appropriate to me for her time and class，but they were not attitudes I liked．Eventually I grew quite bored with her．You can write a book about a character you dislike or a character you disagree with，but I don't think you can write a book about a character who bores you．"
According to Neel Mukherjee，it was Adinath，a character in The Lives of Others，who made him work the hardest．"I think I struggled because it's difficult to write a character whose most prominent personal feature is weakness，as Adinath's is，without making that feature define him，"Mukherjee says．But a troublesome character is far from an unwelcome guest，he continues，arguing that"when characters work against the author they come alive and become unpredictable"．
"That is a fantastic thing to happen，"Mukherjee says，"I celebrate it．It is one of the great，lucky gifts given to a writer．"

41．What can we infer about Steven King's book Carrie？C
A．It was his most difficult book to write．
B．It was the first successful novel King wrote．
C．There were few children featured in the story．
D．Some of its main characters were working class．
42．Why did Karen Fowler have trouble writing the main character in her novel Sister Noon？D
A．She disagreed with the character's attitudes．
B．The age difference between the two was too large．
C．She found the character very uninteresting．
D．The historical setting made accuracy difficult．
43．Neel Mukherjee believes that his difficult-to-write charactersB．
A．a(chǎn)re a sign that the story is not realistic
B．a(chǎn)re often the most interesting
C．should be praised by all authors
D．need to be researched more thoroughly
44．The authors who were interviewed for the passage are probablyA．
A．famous and successful         
B．unknown to the readers
C．a(chǎn)ll from the same country      
D．just starting their writing careers
45．In which part of the newspaper would you expect to find the passage？B

18．He is one of the most charming young heroes since Harry Potter．Like Potter，he is chosen to carry out a mission-busy preparing to lead to save the Earth during the upcoming war，but unlike Potter，he doesn't get any chances to have fun or hang out with friends．
He is Ender Wiggin，15，the main character of the hit US sci-fi movie Ender's Games，which came out on Jan.7，2014 in china．
The story opens in 2086，50 years after an insect-like alien race，called the Formics，attacked the Earth and killed tens of millions of people before being driven back to their home planet．Since then，human beings have been in a state of fear，awaiting a second attack．

10．Along the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco there lives a bird that swims before it can fly，flies like a fat chicken，eats green leaves，has the stomach of a cow and has claws （爪） on its wings when young．They build their homes about 4.6m above the river，an important feature （特征） for the safety of the young．It is called the hoatzin．
  In appearance，the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside．The head is small，with a large set of feathers on the top，bright red eyes，and blue skin．Its nearest relatives are the common birds，cuckoos．Its most striking feature，though，is only found in the young．
  Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip．Using these four claws，together with the beak （喙），they can climb about in the bushes，looking very much like primitive birds must have done．When the young hoatzins have learned to fly，they lose their claws．
  During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20to 30birds，but in April，when the rainy season begins，they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes．

63．What is the text mainly about？D
A．Hoatzins in dry and rainy seasons．
B．The relatives and enemies of hoatzins．

A．they look like young cuckoos
B．they have claws on the wings
C．they eat a lot like a cow
D．they live on river banks
65．What can we infer about primitive birds from the text？A
A．They had claws to help them climb．
B．They could fly long distances．
C．They had four wings like hoatzins．
D．They had a head with long feathers on the top．
66．Why do hoatzins collect together in smaller groups when the rainy season comes？D
A．To find more food．
B．To protect themselves better．
C．To keep themselves warm．
D．To produce their young．
