B


If yu never read the classic F．Sctt Fitzgerald's nvel The Great Gatsby，nw is yur chance t catch up—by watching the latest film adaptatin.Because if there's ne sentence t sum up the film，it wuld be，as Fx News says in its review，“It's just like the bk.”


Directr Baz Luhrmann's main challenge was“either t find a visual equivalent(相等物)fr Fitzgerald's elegant essay—the pen secret f the bk's staying pwer—r t bend the material t his wn extic(异国的)strengths，”a Time magazine review says.He tries it bth ways，with varying degrees f success.


Cnsidered t be Fitzgerald's representative wrk，The Great Gatsby explres themes f idealism，resistance t change，scial change，and excess，creating a prtrait f the Jazz Age r the Raring Twenties that has been described as a cautinary tale regarding the American Dream.


Nick，the narratr，mves t New Yrk fr the summer t visit his cusin Daisy.His next­dr neighbr is Jay Gatsby(Lenard DiCapri), wh rarely cntacts with thers and is rumred t be a her f the Great War.Gatsby claims t have attended Oxfrd University, but the evidence is suspect.As Nick learns mre abut Gatsby, every detail abut him seems questinable, except his lve fr Daisy.Thugh Daisy is married, Gatsby still adres her as his“glden girl”．They first met when she was a yung lady frm a wealthy family and he was a wrking­class military fficer.Daisy prmised t wait fr his return frm the war.Hwever，she married Tm, a classmate f Nick.Having btained a great frtune，Gatsby sets ut t win her back again.


“All f Fitzgerald's riginal creatin finds its way int this film，even ging as far as t include quite a bit f the riginal dialgue，”US film critic Justin Tarli writes in his review.“The cast is beautiful as is the script，and the scenes are a visual feast，”Tarli adds.


DiCapri des a gd and prfessinal jb as the scialite by recreating Fitzgerald's descriptin f Gatsby's charm.“He can lk at smene fr an instant and understand hw perfectly he r she wants t be seen.”David Denby，a film critic fr The New Yrker，says in his review.


The use f music is almst reasn enugh t see the film.“Luhrmann is at his best mixing visual and musical styles tgether t create smething whlly riginal，”the Fx News review says.


Fr example，in ne f the mst utstanding scenes in the film，the first party scene，Nick walks quickly frm ne party guest t anther party guest trying t explain all the gssip abut Gatsby until he is finally intrduced t the man himself，while the mst stirring versin f Rhapsdy in Blue(cmpsed by American musician Gerge Gershwin in 1924)is played in the backgrund.


【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了Baz Luhrmann(巴兹·鲁赫曼)导演的电影《了不起的盖茨比》，它改编自弗朗西斯·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德的同名小说。


5．What did Baz Luhrmann d t make the film a success?


A．He adapted the stry in the nvel as he wished.


B．He made the film mre pwerful than the bk.


C．He mixed his style with the elegance f the essay.


D．He shwed the elegance f the pictures in the film.


C [细节理解题。根据第二段的“t find a visual equivalent(相等物)fr Fitzgerald's elegant t bend the material t his wn extic(异国的)strengths”和“He tries it bth ways，with varying degrees f success.”可知，他把自己的风格和原著结合起来从而获得了成功。故选C。]


6．What is Tarli's attitude twards the film?


A．Favrable.B．Sceptical.


C．Amazed.D．Uncncerned.


A [推理判断题。根据第五段的“The cast is beautiful as is the script，and the scenes are a visual feast”可知，Tarli对这部电影是支持的。故选A。]


7．What are the characteristics f Gatsby?


A．Faithful and warm­hearted.


B．Charming and prfessinal.


C．Selfish and stubbrn.


D．Mysterius and devted.


D [推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知，对于盖茨比的一切都是令人怀疑的，除了他对Daisy的爱，因此他是神秘且忠诚的。故选D。]


8．Why des the authr give the example f the first party scene in the last paragraph?


A．Unfld the fact that Nick wants t knw mre abut Gatsby.


B．Shw the versin f Rhapsdy in Blue matches the film well.


C．Prve that the directr is gd at cmbining visual and music.


D．Cnvince us that the first scene is perfectly sht by the directr.


C [推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二句中的“Luhrmann is at his best mixing visual and musical styles tgether”可知，导演擅长把视觉和音乐相结合，而最后一段则是举例子说明。故选C。]


Ⅱ.概要写作


阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。


If there was ne thing yu culd make parents understand abut kids，what wuld it be? That is ne f the questins TFK and KidsHealth.rg recently asked in an annymus(匿名的) survey cnducted nline.Mre than 8，000 kids answered.“We just want t spend time with yu.” said a 12­year­ld child.“At 13，yu can't treat me like I'm 6.”anther kid said.An 11­year­ld child wrte，“Being a kid is a lt harder than it lks.” The kids wh tk ur survey made it clear that they want t feel clse t the imprtant peple in their life—their mum，dad and ther caring adults.But their answers als shw that it is nt always easy t deal with these clse relatinships.


Many kids—tw ut f three—said they get alng pretty well r very well with their parents.Abut fur ut f five kids tld us that they have fun with their parents.But that desn't mean they never disagree.In fact，mst kids reprted arguing with their parents，at least smetimes.“It's abslutely nrmal t disagree and argue，” says D'Arey Lyness，a child psychlgist.“But it's als imprtant t learn hw t d s respectfully.” Abut half f the kids said they are ding that.When they disagree with their parents，they say they discuss issues calmly.


But tw ut f five kids said arguments tend t invlve yelling at each ther.Lyness pints ut that shuting never helps.“Speak up，and let yur parents knw yur ideas and yur pinins，” she advises.“But be patient.Dn't use a raised，angry vice.”


Kids made it clear that they wuld rather avid cnflict altgether.Nt surprisingly，three ut f fur kids admitted lying at times.Many said they lie t avid getting in truble r disappinting their parents.Accrding t Lyness，lying isn't just wrng.It can actually get negative results.Telling the truth builds trust.“When parents can trust yu，they are mre likely


t give yu mre freedm and mre privileges，” she says.
