（2021·江苏常州·九年级期中）The reviews below are about the film The Silver Glove.

Angela Moore

I just love this fast—moving pirate (海盗)film. The story moves at a high speed from one frightening (令人惊悚的) fight scene (场景) to the next. You really feel as if you are on the ships with these pirates. The main pirate is given all the best and most humorous lines. The film has laughs as well as frightening moments.

Max Court

I enjoyed this film very much. The film is directed with great skills and invention by German Dieter Muller. There are a lot of surprises in the story to keep us guessing until the last minute. Some clever jokes give the film a surprising level of humor too, which I really didn’t expect from a film about pirates.

Deborah MeGhee

The Silver Glove promises much but shows very little. The opening scene, filmed in a storm of lightning and high waves, is an exciting start. But as the film takes you from one fight to another, it starts to seem boring. Actress Patricia Groves plays the doctor wonderfully.

Maria Thomson

After all the money that has been spent on this pirate film, you would expect more than this boring movie. The fight scenes are so repetitive (重复的)that you may think you’ve seen the film before. Most of the camera work is inventive.

1．What common idea do Angela Moore and Max Court share? ________

A．The film is humorous.

（2022·江苏·苏州市振华中学校二模）Since 2011, the Shanghai Peking Opera Company has held two seasons of “Youth Runway”, a long-term opera development project, hoping to find young opera talents. 118 young performers have successfully showed 200 plays and classical pieces. Most of them were born between 1995 and 2000, making them the company’s newest power. They will show both classical and new plays in many different styles.

① “The Butterfly Lovers”, one of the plays in this spring, is changed from a sad love story between a young poor man, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, the daughter of a wealthy family. They return as butterflies after their death. Another one, “Twelve Roles”, which will be presented in the summer, largely gets its idea from an American film “12 Angry Men”. The 12 members, all from different backgrounds, must decide a child’s fate in a murder.

Yueju opera, which developed around 1906 in Shengzhou, Zhejiang Province, is one of China’s most famous operas. In the old days, people loved it because of its styles of singing and melodies（旋律）. Now, it is getting a new life. ② The performing season for young performers is held in its fifth year and has its own characteristic. Moreover, the project worked with BesTV to create a Yueju opera short video series about the 24 solar terms（节气）of traditional Chinese calendar.

Every year, the China Shanghai International Arts Festival provides chances for traditional opera performers like Yueju talents to perform. ③ Many traditional opera performers have got fans among students and young performers in recent years by showing how they prepare for a concert and behind-the-scenes stories with mobile apps on video websites.

④ They try many ways to make traditional art forms attractive to today’s youth, including the creation of short opera films and the use of popular melodies. “We believe that Xiqu (traditional opera) like Yueju can attract today’s young people because it can be mixed with different art forms,” says Chen Daming, a theater critic.

11．According to the first paragraph， the project “Youth Runway” is to________.

A．discover young opera talents B．teach young people Yueju opera

（2022·江苏·苏州市振华中学校二模）If you feel sad or upset, remember not to watch a happy movie. A sad movie may be more suitable for you.

Some scientists at Ohio State University, the U.S., have found that sad movies can make people happier. They published their study in a magazine called Communication Research.

Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie called Atonement. The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated. They died during World War II at the end of the movie. The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feelings, including sadness.

According to the result of the survey, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie. Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their own lives and relationships. Compared to those of the unlucky lovers in the movie, their lives were full of hope.

“I want to live my life to the fullest, and this movie has made me think a lot,” one student wrote.

Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, the leader of the study, explained that bad moods would make people more thoughtful. “Good moods are generally a sign that everything is fine. You don’t have to worry, and you don’t have to think about problems in your life,” she said. “But bad emotions, like sadness, make you feel terrible about your situation. Therefore, seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad, but that will cause you to think more about your own close relationships and value them more.”

15．The scientists asked the college students to watch Atonement________.

A．to help them make more friends

B．to make them feel better about themselves

C．to find out how they felt after watching it

D．to encourage them to share their feeling

16．How many times did the students answer questions from the scientists?

A．Six times. B．Five times. C．Four times. D．Three times.

C．Feeling Bad? See a Happy Film

D．Feeling Down? Think about Others

What happened next became the stuff of legend. Only 50 years later did the full story emerge (浮现) – Kempton had spun (编造) a web of lies. The only truth was that he was a good man determined to change the world.

（2022·江苏扬州·二模）“Miracles do exist only if you believe in them,” Yi Yangqianxi said when he recommended his latest film Nice View (《奇迹·笨小孩》). 

According to Maoyan company, it had earned over 1 billion yuan as of Feb. 16. It is centered on how Jing Hao, played by Yi, raised large sums of money to pay for his young sister’s surgery.  

For Jing, 20, he needed a miracle to start his own business in face of the many difficulties he encountered. “Remember that nothing is impossible as long as you try your best,” Yi quoted his lines from the film in an interview with Cover News. 

For Yi, 21, his path to becoming an A-list celebrity could also be seen as a miracle. He doesn’t have a family background in the show biz industry. Before moving to Beijing with his mother, Yi and his family lived in Shenzhen. When he was a child, Yi took many interest-oriented classes like street dance, calligraphy and accordion (手风琴). “I was either taking these classes, or on the way to the classes,” Yi said in a vlog.

Yi then lived in the suburbs of Beijing. He spent almost four hours a day going to these training institutions and back. To save time, Yi had meals and did homework on the bus. 

This childhood experience shaped his personality. He became more mature than his peers. This also gave him the personal qualities of dedication (敬业) and perseverance in his acting career.

“He stayed at the shooting site almost every day,” Gong Jinguo, an actor of Nice View, told Yangcheng Evening News. “He took part in over 270 of the movie’s 290 scenes.”

Like Jing finally receiving a miracle, Yi grew up from a nobody to a somebody. He has become the first movie actor born in the 2000s with blockbusters he has starred in earning an overall box office of over 10 billion yuan, Maoyan reported in February.

25．From the film Nice View, we know that ________.

a. Jing Hao was played by Yi Yangqianxi.

b. It won over 1 billion dollars for Maoyan company by Feb. 16.

c. The story is about how a boy raised money to pay for his sister’s surgery.

d. It’s Yi Yangqianxi’s first film.

A．abc B．bcd C．abd D．acd

26．Which of the following statement is NOT right?

A．Like the actor Yi Yangqianxi, the film character Jing Hao finally succeeded.

B．Yi Yangqianxi’s personal acting qualities may come from his childhood experience.

C．Yi Yangqianxi was born in an actor’s family.

D．Yi Yangqianxi has a wide range of interests and works hard either as a student or an actor.

27．What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence?

A．Yi Yangqianxi grew up healthily.

B．Yi Yangqianxi became famous from an unknown figure.

C．Yi Yangqianxi grew up from nothing to wealth.

D．Yi Yangqianxi’s success comes from his hard work.
