第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

If you’ve ever seen a James Bond movie you’ll know that the hero gets around in a smart Aston Martin car. Even if you know full well that you could never afford such an expensive vehicle, you don’t forget the name, or the car.

Why? You have been subjected to product placement.

Companies pay a film to place their products in the movie. Product placement took off in the West in the 1980s and is now catching on in China. Two Hunan Satellite TV dramas arerecent examples：Ugly Wudi and Let’s Go Watch the Meteror Shower（《一起去看流星雨》）.

Shampoo, mobile phones, cars and fitness centers-anything can be product-placed. Advertisers value the mass appeal of the movies, knowing that a successful film can showcase their goods to hundreds of thousands of viewers. But when product placement takes over, artistic considerations can take a back seat.

Cai Zhiyong has been product-placing for years. The Beijing-based advertiser admits there is a conflict between art and business. He explains the way one ad works. In If You are the One（《非诚勿扰》）,the actress Shu Qi plays a flight attendant. The movie contains product placement for airline companies.

Cash-strapped filmmakers often have to sacrifice the quality of their work because they need money form advertisers. In the original story for Meteor Shower, the heroine’s mother owned an ice cream shop. But no ice cream company wanted to sponsor the film. For this reason, the story was changed. In the film the man drinks20 cups of milk tea where it was originally intended that he would eat ice cream.

Even here tough, you may see the power of business over the movies, since the script was perhaps written so a product could be placed-whether it was ice cream or milk tea.

A．Short of money.             B．Self-financed  

C．With abundant cash. D．Intending to earn money

4.We can learn from the adaptation of Meteor Shower that__________.

A．business has a big say in the movie

B．the original story was not suitable for a movie

C．filmmakers are more concerned about making money.
