Ridley Sctt＇s famus war film “Naplen（拿破仑）”is a series f successful battles lking fr a better mvie t cnnect them. Once again， Sctt＇s craftsmanship（技艺） is n shw here， but it＇s in service f a deeply shallw screenplay. A great actr is reduced t a ghstly presence in the middle f the mvie,and his partner, the character wh needs t give the film a beating heart, cmes ff as flat and hllw.
One f the prblems is that the film script tries t put a lt f life int the running time f a single film. Naturally, it pens during the French Revlutin, as Naplen climbs up the plitical ladder f France with his war talents abve all else.
Anther part f the prblem is that Kirby, the leading actress never really understands what t play with Jsephine， a mysterius celebrity（名人）wh becmes t much f a mirrr fr Naplen.She culdn't give Naplen a sn, which resulted in their break-up.
Was Naplen the kind f wrld leader whse wn unsafety resulted in killings we have seen in histry? That's here in a few places, but Sctt is uninterested in making any srt f statement abut Naplen r men like him. A very just-the-facts apprach f “Naplen” is incredibly disappinting fr a filmmaker wh usually finds s much depth in the stries he tells. Wrst f all, by the time “Naplen”gets t Waterl, we dn't knw much mre abut the main character than we did when we came in.That's a prblem.
Having said that, the wnderful war scenes in “Naplen” may be enugh t prve its existence fr fans f histrical war films. Whether its bldied bdies breaking thrugh ice r waves f sldiers rushing int battle, “Naplen” has sme fantastic battle scenes. Maybe the pint is that Naplen Bnaparte was nly truly alive when surrunded by s much death.
24. Hw d yu understand the underlined wrd “hllw" in Paragraph 1?
A. Slid. B.Deep. C.Empty. D.Smth.
25. What can we infer frm Paragraph 2 t 4?
A.The film successfully cvers Naplen's whle life.
B. Kirby has a gd understanding f hw t play Jsephine.
C.Peple culdn't knw Naplen better thrugh this film.
D.There are sme utstanding features f "Naplen".
26. What des Paragraph 5 mainly talk abut?
A.The successful battle scenes in “Naplen”.
B.The achievements f Naplen Bnaparte.
C.The wars Naplen Bnaparte fighting in.
D. The reasn fr Naplen Bnaparte's aliveness.
27.What type f writing is this text?

Just as I was ging t turn arund and head fr hme— feeling mre discuraged than I culd recall in years—I saw that elderly Chinese gentleman again. Seeing my shirt in the distance had prmpted him t march twards me. With limited English he pinted t the letters and enthusiastically said, “Yu very gd . . . yu very fast.”
Upn hearing the man’s wrds, I felt mre unexplained strength in my step. He cast his usual warm smile at me and gave me a thumb up as we passed ther. A surge f warmth acrss my whle bdy, I didn’t turn frm the trail where my previus dark md had intended. Thanks t that little bst, I cntinued fr six mre miles that day instead. I was nt that fast, but was very gd in my spirit and my heart. Luckily, the elderly gentleman saved me frm the shadw f negative feedback.
