A Hollywood movie was met with an awkward situation last Saturday in China. While fans are standing in long queues to watch the first show, others are advocating a boycott（抵制）on the American movie with Chinese story elements.

　　After "Kung Fu Panda", a cartoon movie telling about a panda’s Kung Fu master journey, hit China’s silver screens in 2008, its sequel (续集), Kung Fu Panda 2, was released in China just ahead of International Children’s Day, adding more Chinese elements such as shadow play (皮影戏) and lion dancing.

　　However, some Chinese artists and scholars argue that the movie has twisted (扭曲) Chinese culture and serves as a tool to "kidnap (绑架)" the mind of the Chinese people.

　　“Children’s Day should be pure. Don’t turn it into a money-making day for Hollywood, and don’ t fool our next generation with American fast food,” according to an open letter to Chinese cinema managers written by Zhao Bandi, an artist hoping to boycott the “Americanized” movie. His move is backed by Kong Qingdong, a professor of the Chinese language in Beijing University, who said Chinese elements have become advertising products to advocate American culture. "It is a cultural invasion," said Kong.

　　In the movie, the main character called “Po,” a panda, is talkative, humorous, lovely, and is widely believed to be a typical American figure.

　　However, the panda has won millions of fans in China. On China’s most popular website, comments on the movie reached nearly 270 million entries.

　　“I won’t call it a cultural invasion,” said Li Jiayi, a Beijing university student. “I see nothing bad for others to use our cultural elements to make a movie. I’ m a huge fan of Po. In spite of being a cartoon, it is still loved by many adults like me,” said the 25-year-old after watching the first show at midnight.

　 Cao Hui, general manager of Shenzhen Global Digital Creations company, said: “instead of a

‘boycott’, movie producers should learn from the movie to make better use of Chinese story elements. Technically, Kung Fu Panda is not more advanced than Chinese movies, but as for story telling skills, Chinese movies have a long way to go”.

1.Some artists and scholars are against "Kung Fu Panda" because they think_____.

A. it has added too many Chinese elements

B. it has ruined Chinese image deliberately

C. it is an exact copy of Chinese culture

D. it is advertising American culture

2.What does the underlined word “backed” in the fourth paragraph mean?

A. supported       B. criticized       C. released        D. resisted

3.This passage can be classified as _________.

A. an advertisement   B. a feature story　　C. a news report      D. a film review

 

第二节:完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)

When a group of children politely stop a conversation with you, saying: “We have to go to work now,” you’re left feeling surprised and certainly uneasy. After all, this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is just unthinkable. That is, until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools, and that the “work” they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.

　　Stage schools often act as agencies（代理机构）to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of the name “stage school” are those few places where children attend full time, with a training for the theatre and a general education.

　　A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves. After all, what lively children wouldn’t settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary school work, and acting, singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?

　Then of course there are times for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 to 80 days.

　The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens to those who don’t make it? While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case.

　People would stop feeling uneasy when realizing that the children they’re talking to________.

　　  A. attend a stage school　　　　  B. are going to the theatre

　　  C. have got some work to do 　　  D. love singing and dancing

　　 In the writer’s opinion, a good stage school should ________.

　　  A. produce star performers

　　  B. help pupils improve their study skills

　　  C. train pupils in language and performing arts

　　  D. provide a general education and stage training.

　“Professional work” as used in the text means ________.

　　  A. ordinary school work　　　　　  B. money-making performances

　　  C. stage training at school 　 　  D. acting, singing or dancing after class

　 Which of the following best describes how the writer feels about stage schools?

　　  A. He thinks highly of what they have to offer.　　　　

　　  B. He favours an early start in the training of performing arts.

　　  C. He feels uncomfortable about children putting on night shows.

　　  D. He doubts the standard of ordinary education they have reached.

　　The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state　 36　 the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have　 37　 . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without　 38　 out any necessary fact.

　　In writing a letter of application, keep in　 39　 that the things a possible employer is most　

 40　 to want to know about are your qualifications（条件）, your achievements and your aims.The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.　41　 the first few sentences fail to　 42　 the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be　 43　 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not　 44　 your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your　 45　 in today's paper. ”you might say“I have made a careful　 46　 of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighbourhood to find out how many housewives　 47　 your product and why they like it.”

　　Try to　 48　 generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now　 49　. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask“ What can I　 50　 in a letter? Employers want experience, which, naturally, no　 51　 has. ”The answer is that everything you have ever done is　 52　.

　　It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.　53　 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent　54　 is to enclose（内附）a stamped, self - addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it　 55　 for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
