【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中,選出最佳選項。
When people think of Hollywood, they think of the city where dreams come true.This did not apply to F.Scott Fitzgerald, a screenwriter who had his share of ups and downs in this land. Fitzgerald was not a successful Hollywood writer because he was not good at the career path he chose.He was an amazing novelist, but his efforts of turning them into screenplays ended in disappointment and confusion.It was because of a lack of potential for screenwriting as well as his addiction and desire to be famous.
Growing up as a boy, Fitzgerald went to movies a lot.He wanted to write stories that would eventually turn into movies.The problem was: just because Fitzgerald wanted to do something didn’t necessarily mean that he was good at it.He made his attempts, but most of these efforts ended in disappointment because he thought about the change from script(劇本)to screen too much.His plot was too detailed and complicated; his tone was too serious or his dialogue too sentimental(感傷的).
Fitzgerald’s quick rise to fame also led to his fall.In life, things are not meant to happen all at once, all that the same time but it did for Fitzgerald. At his best time, three of his early stories were made into short films, including The Great Gatsby and Babylon Revisited. As the twenties approached, he was gradually forgotten by the reading public. He became drunk and constantly took pills both to sleep and wake up.His marriage was destroyed and his wife broke down mentally.He seemed unsure about his life.
Fitzgerald had another chance at success when many opportunities came his way, including revisions of Emlyn William’s play The Light of Heart and production of one of his own scripts, Cosmopolitan.However, these were all put aside and he was right back where he started, left behind and called a “ruined man”.Fitzgerald simply wanted too much in his life.He wanted “to be both a great novelist and a Hollywood success, to write songs like Cole Porter and poetry like John Keats”.His addiction to fame held him back and led to his failure as a Hollywood writer.
【1】Which is a reason that Fitzgerald failed in screenwriting?
A. He was not talented in screenwriting.
B. He had a miserable family life.
C. He spent too much time watching movies.
D. He was greedy for money in his life.
【2】Fitzgerald’s screenwriting was _____.
A. disappointing in ending
B. complex in plot
C. playful in tone
D. simple in dialogue
【3】Which of the following was NOT written by Fitzgerald?
A. The Great Gatsby B. Babylon Revisited
C. The Light of Heart D. Cosmopolitan
【4】When Fitzgerald had another chance at success, he ______.
A. took full advantage of it
B. went back home to start business
C. refused to make changes
D. started to write songs and poems
【5】What is the best title of the passage?
A. Fallen for Fame Addiction: F.Scott Fitzgerald
B. An Inch into Fame: F.Scott Fitzgerald
C. F.Scott Fitzgerald: A Great Novelist
D. F.Scott Fitzgerald: A Great Screenwriter

【題目】For centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer. For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone’s life as nothing.
Cold can affect other parts of the body. The expression “get cold feet” has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.
The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.
A cold fish is not a fish.It is a person.But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy.Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers.
Out in the cold means not getting something that everybody else got.A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise---he was left out in the cold.And it is not a pleasant place to be.
【1】When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by “____”.
A.I think he is a cold fish
B.I give him the cold shoulder
C.I think he is a cold-blooded man
D.I’m likely to get cold feet
【2】If Sue shows absolutely no reaction to those awful pictures of starving children in Africa, you will say _________.
A. she is a cold fish B.she is out in the cold
C.she is a cold-blooded killer D.she gets cold feet
【3】We can use the expression “__________” to describe a man who abandons or hurts his lover without mercy.
A. cold feet B.cold shoulder
C.cold-hearted D.cold-blooded
【4】The topic of this passage is about _________.
A.some expressions about friendship
B.how cold weather comes into being
