Sunday lunch at my sister-in-law,s. We,re discussing a new horror film in which our 13-year-old,acting-mad,nephew Caspar landed a small role. Though everyone wants to see him in his first feature film,his mum wont see the film (too scary) and neither will his uncle (my husband) .

   For years now,my husband and I have been having discussions on whether or not it's good to be scared by art. I'm still upset that I didn’ t go to see The Blair Witch Project because he wouldn 51 come and I didn't dare to go alone. ‘The things in the movie just stay with me” he says. ' They haunt (縈繞在……心頭) me.

   I dont like watching violence either,but it doesnt haunt me afterwards because nothing that I saw is ever much worse than the dark material that already exists in my own head. As a novelist,I know I write about the things that frighten me 一 loss,fear,the raw black edges of life. Being allowed to do this makes me feel safe because I know I can pull back from these things at any time.

   Speaking of fear,I remember my visit to a Victorian prison a few years ago in order to research a novel. I paid my money and went in,following the yellow arrowed path that led into a maze (迷宮) of dark cells. After two minutes,I realized that a) I was alone,b) it was extremely dark,c) I could hear someone crying,and d) I had no idea how much more there was. Yet e) if I turned back now,I could easily lose my way and no one would hear me screaming down there.

   There was no going back. My heart was beating hard and I could hear the pounding of my own blood as I made my way deeper and deeper into the wet and cold stone maze. When I finally came out and saw the sunlight,I was shaking and sweaty.

   I haven’t thought about it in a long time,but,while writing this,I just googled it,only to discover that it's one of the most haunted sites in Britain. Now they tell me!

32. What's the main topic of conversation at Sunday lunch?

   A. Caspar's family background.

   B. The movie Caspar acted in.

   C. The role Caspar played.

   D. Caspar's great dream.

33. Why did the author's husband refUse to see Caspar's film?

   A. Because his sister didn't want to see it.

   B. Because he couldn't stand being afraid.

   C. Because it was not interesting.

   D. Because he didn't love Caspar.

34. The author is not afraid of watching violence thanks to her .

   A. occupation   B. personality

   C. wild imagination   D. previous experiences

35. When visiting the Victorian prison,the author felt.

   A. lonely   B. confused

   C. exhausted   D. frightened

32. B 33. B 34. A 35. D

(個人情感)

本文是議論文.作者討論了為什么自己不害怕欣賞恐怖電影等藝術(shù)形式,

而其他人則對此避之唯恐不及。

32. B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的 We,re discussing a new horror film in which …Caspar landed a small role 可知答案。

33. B.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可 知,作者的丈夫不欣賞恐怖的藝術(shù)形 式是因為這些恐怖畫面總是在他心 頭縈繞,由此可推測,他不去看 Caspar參演的恐怖電影是因為他受 不了看電影帶來的恐懼。

34. A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容可 知,作者身為小說家,經(jīng)常會寫一些 恐怖的場景,這些場景與作者看到的 恐怖畫面相比有過之而無不及,而且 作者的寫作經(jīng)歷能使作者從恐怖畫 面中隨時抽離,因此作者的職業(yè)使得 作者并不害怕看到暴力等恐怖畫面。

35. D.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段內(nèi)容 可知,作者在監(jiān)獄穿行時心跳很快, 甚至能聽到自己心跳的聲音:當(dāng)走出 監(jiān)獄時,她渾身顫抖、流著冷汗。這 些都說明這次監(jiān)獄之旅嚇壞了作者。
