　　To make a 　3　(compare) between Western and Eastern cultures, I went to see The Revenge of Prince Zidan—the Peking Opera version of Hamlet.　4　(date) back to the 18th century, Peking Opera has a history of over two hundred years. 

　　Starting with an orchestra playing traditional Chinese instruments, the opera brought a 　5　(complete) new sound to my Western ears and I was surprised to see their 　6　(amaze) costumes, masks and the simple stage.Their voices sounded really unique—some of the female voices were 　7　 high that I was sure they could break glass! Though the performers sang in Chinese, their special techniques helped get the meanings across 　8　 the audience. 

　　What I found incredible was the way the characters moved on stage and I even 　9　(doubt) whether the performers were really athletes.The audience were so excited that they all stood up 　10　(clap).Now I’ve realized that art is universal.

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

　　Along with the progress of reform and opening up, the Chinese film industry has also made remarkable achievements and become in a flourishing(繁荣的) state in economic growth.It has recorded social changes in the past decades through the medium of the film.The film market of China has been much better than that of North America, becoming the largest in the world during the first season of 2019.

　　In the original stage of reform and opening up, old Chinese movies were rescreened and foreign movies dubbed(译制).Audiences’ enthusiasm for movies was lighted up by both these practices.In 1979, the attendance of Chinese moviegoers reached a record high of 29.3 billion.However, televisions and other entertainment activities sprang up in the late 1980s and drew many audiences away from movies when the film market faced a danger.

　　The employment of a socialist market economy in China in 1992 brought energy again to the film industry.With the introduction of free competition and reforms,it made an abundant recovery and experienced rapid growth.In the same period, China began to introduce overseas movies into the home market, especially those from Hollywood.Despite the argument that foreign movies occupy the space of home-made ones, Chinese movies with increasingly higher quality have gained a firm foothold in the local market with box offices setting several new records.

　　The development of the Internet has added new energy to the Chinese film industry.In 2015, the powerful Internet companies, one called Tencent and another Alibaba, developed their own film arm and began to adapt popular online stories for movies.With big data, more accurate marketing skills can target specific audiences to satisfy their personal preferences.Yet the development of online cinemas may pose threats to the survival of offline ones.Now the film industry is exploring more advanced film screening technologies to provide audiences with an improved movie experience.

【语篇概述】本文是一篇说明文。随着改革开放的发展,中国电影业也取得了显著的成就,成为经济增长形势下的一道繁荣景象。中国电影业通过电影媒介记录了中国过去几十年的社会变化,并且在不断地发展、创新。

A.Popularity of televisions.

B.Development of online cinemas.

【解析】选A。细节理解题。由第二段中的“However, televisions and other entertainment activities sprang up in the late 1980s and drew many audiences away from movies when the film market faced a danger”可知,中国电影业在20世纪80年代末期因电视和其他娱乐活动的突然兴起而面临威胁,故选项A正确。

A.The space of Chinese movies.

B.The Chinese film industry.

3.What does the author indicate in the end?

A.Online cinemas will replace traditional ones sooner.

B.The film screening technology is the key to films’ success.

C.The Internet is a two-edged sword for the film industry.

B

　　Lady Gaga’s latest film became an instant hit over the weekend, helping push theaters to an October ticket-selling record.

　　A Star Is Born, actor-turned-director Bradley Cooper’s remake of a Hollywood classic in the late 1930s, went beyond the previous expectations of movie analysts by roughly 30 percent.

　　The original production is such a great Hollywood myth that it’s no wonder Hollywood keeps telling it.Whatever the era, the director or the headliners, it tells the story of two lovers on dramatically different paths: a famous man who’s racing to the bottom and a woman who’s soaring to the top.

　　Mr Cooper does a lot right in this movie A Star Is Born, beginning with the casting of Lady Gaga, whose relaxing, naturalistic performance is the key to the movie’s force.

　　A post-Madonna pop artist was known for her elaborate (精心制作的) makeup and costumes, which she adopted no more here.

　　This unmasking of Lady Gaga makes her character seem genuine or say natural, a quality that the movie is in favor of and that serves as a kind of everlasting first principle.

5.What does the author think of the new movie?

7.What can we learn about the movie?

A.The remakes of the movie adopt different plots.

B.The movie tells the story of two friends on different paths.
