Easier said than done). You have booked a spot on any and every culture trip that promises to take you off the beaten track to see the “real” China and you have shined every downtown area for a pure, untouched hutong “to see how locals really lived”Now, how about catching “the films you must see before you leave China”? Here they are, all of them awardwinners, this list inspired by a lecture given on this very topic by movie fan Breen OReilly, who teaches film studies at the International School of Beijing.To Live (1994)If youre able to watch only one film about China, make it this one. “This is all you need to see to know the history of China in the past 50 years,” says OReilly. He adds that when the movie was shown to a mixed audience of Chinese and Westerners, it was interesting to see how the Chinese immediately saw how the title tied in with the ending while the rest were less convinced.The Last Emperor (1987)This epic (史诗) film won nine Oscars and tells the story of the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty (16441911), Pu Yi. The highlights are the films use of colors and its music ironically (讽刺地), the western music was scored by an Asian, Ryuichi Sakamoto, while the Asian score was by the American David Byrne, of the band Talking Heads.Bertolucci seems to have worked with a color palette (调色板), says OReilly, drawing attention to the scene in which Pu Yi is arrested and is to be banished (放逐) to Manchuria. He slashes his wrists while at the railway station and as the camera zooms in on the red blood,the flashback moves to the red gates of the palace of his childhood.Reds,yellows and oranges,all colors of warmth and happiness,control the screen for the part of the story that deals with his royal life.The colors shift to green and blue,when his English tutor (Peter OToole) arrives on his green cycle,and the emperor himself is seen in blue glasses,to signify the narratives shift of focus.语篇解读:来中国旅游,你得了解中国的传统和文化。但短暂的旅游很难满足外国游客的要求,那么怎样才能在最短的时间内了解中国的传统和文化呢?就请看这两部电影活着(1994)和末代皇帝(1987)。1Whom is the ad planned for?AChinese tourists to America.BForeign visitors to China.CMovie fans.DMovie directors.解析:选B推理判断题。根据文章首句“So, you have enrolled in language lessons and sworn you will master Putonghua for that authentic China experience”可以推断出答案。2Which of the following about To Live is TRUE?AIt was produced 50 years ago in China.BIt could convince all the audience at once.CThe foreign audience could not understand it immediately.DThe Chinese audience couldnt understand it directly.解析:选C推理判断题。 由第三段中的“it was interesting to see how the Chinese immediately saw how the title tied in with the ending while the rest were less convinced”一句可知本题选C。3Why did the author use“ironically”when introducing the movie The Last Emperor?AIt tells the story of the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Pu Yi.BThe western music of it was scored by an Asian.CPu Yi was arrested after the movie was shot.DPu Yi slashed his wrists while at the railway station.解析:选B细节理解题。根据第四段中的“the western music was scored by an Asian”一句可知本题选B。4How do the colors change in the film The Last Emperor?AThey change from warmth and happiness to coldness and bitterness.BThey change from one color to another one by one.CThey change from coldness and bitterness to warmth and happiness.DThey change from yellows to oranges gradually.解析:选A推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的内容可知,颜色由暖色转为冷色,故选A。5What is the authors purpose to show the two films?ATo show Chinese tradition and culture to foreign visitors.BTo show Chinese places of interest to foreign visitors.CTo show the development of China to foreign visitors.DTo teach students Chinese history.解析:选A推理判断题。由文章第一、二段大意可知本题选A。.选做题任务型阅读(江苏专用)Have you heard or read stories about people who are sick and have been healed by listening to music? Is it a miracle or a successful form of medicine? Can listening to music relieve pain?Around the world, music therapy (疗法) is being used to treat different medical conditions and illnesses. Some of the ways people use music therapy are to reduce pain, such as in childbirth or during cancer treatments, or to stimulate brain activity after an injury or money loss. Music therapy has also been successful in aiding children to overcome disabilities. Children can move their bodies with the music and stamp along to the beat.Why is music a useful therapy? Music is soothing and relaxing, but it also stimulates our brains. Emotionally and physically, we respond to the sounds of music. But the complexity of music (the different tempos, rhythms, melodies and harmonies) provokes (激发) the biggest response. Thus, classical music is most typically used for therapies due to complex sounds and patterns. Although rap or hip hop might be fun to listen to, its unlikely that such styles of music would produce the same kind of therapeutic effect. Playing a musical instrument rather than simply listening to music can also be therapeutic for some people, helping relieve stress and anxiety.Have scientists been able to prove that music can heal disease? Music has been shown to reduce pain in cancer patients by increasing the release endorphins (内啡肽). Endorphins are the bodys natural painkillers, and when we listen to music, our brains respond by releasing these natural painkillers. It has also been known to contribute to the brain development of the babies who have just been born and even babies still in the mothers womb. Certain types of music have also been found to lower blood pressure and slow a persons heart rate. Many people are hopeful that music could replace the need for some medications (药物) that are normally used to treat certain illnesses. At present, music therapy is used in a variety of settings such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, day cares, and schools.Although music therapy is not yet considered a mainstream treatment, it is recognized more and more as a useful addition to traditional treatment. So next time you are feeling low or stressed out, put on some relaxing music and let the music heal you.Title: Music That (1)_The (2)_ of music therapyto treat different medical conditions and illnessesto reduce painto (5)_ brain activityto overcome (6)_.How does music therapy (3)_?Music is soothing and relaxing; it stimulates our brains; classical music is a (7)_ due to its complex sounds and patterns.

This shows that the learning disorder dyslexia(inability to read properly) is not the same in every culture and does not have a universal biological cause.Scientists described the results as “very important and revolutionary”While dyslexia has certain common roots, they said, they now have some proof that this kind of functional problem works differently according to the different demands that Western and Eastern languages place on the brain.Dyslexia is a common developmental disorder in which people of normal intelligence have difficulty learning to read, spell and master other language skills.The results suggest that treating dyslexia around the world probably will require different treatments.“Reading is complex,”said Guinevere Eden, Georgetown University professor. “This shows we need to be more openminded about diverse treatment approaches.”Its origins are complex. There appears to be a genetic aspect to the illness. It also may result from brain injury before birth that changes visual and hearing pathways in the brain.Earlier brain scans show that Englishreading dyslexics dont function properly in a left part of the brain associated with the awareness of 44 sounds from the English alphabet. However, according to the new study, reading Chinese uses some different parts of the brain located in the leftfront of the brain. It is associated with symbol interpretation. Unlike alphabet letters, Chinese characters represent entire thoughts and physical objects.DyslexiaDefinitionA learning (1)_in which people of average IQ find it (2)_to learn to read and acquire other language skills.OriginsGenetic causes or brain (3)_before birth, which affects (4)_and hearing abilities.

One change is that increasing numbers of American parents and teachers are starting independent public schools called charter schools.In 1991, there were no charter schools in the United States.Today, more than 2,300 charter schools operate in 34 states and the District of Columbla. 575,000 students attend these schools. The students are from 5 years of age through 18 or older.A charter school is created by groups of parents,teachers and community members. It is similar in some ways to a traditional public school.It receives tax money to operate a number of students.The charter school must prove to local or state governments that its students are learning.These governments provide the school with the agreement,or charter that permits it to operate.Unlike a traditional public school, however, the charter school does not have to obey most laws governing public schools. Local, state or federal governments cannot tell it what to teach.Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach those goals.Class sizes are usually smaller than in many traditional public schools.Many students and parents say teachers in charter schools can be more creative.However, state education agencies, local educationgoverning committees and unions often oppose charter schools. They say these schools may receive money badly needed by traditional public schools.Experts say some charter schools are doing well while others are struggling.Congress provided 200 million dollars for establishing charter schools in the 2006 federal budget.But,often the schools say they lack enough money for programs.Many also lack needed space, District officials say they have provided 14 former school buildings for charter education. Yet charter school supporters say officials should try harder to find more space.Title:1._2._Independent public schoolSimilarities between charter schools and traditional schools3._ to operate a number of studentsHaving to prove the students are learningGetting the 4._ to operate from government5._ between charter schools and traditional schoolsNot having to obey most laws for public schoolsBeing free to decide the 6._ Being free to choose the goals and decide 7._ themThere usually being 8._ students in charter schools classesHaving teachers who are more creativeCharter schools problemsOpinions from education departmentsThese schools receiving money badly needed by 9._ not all doing wellOpinions from charter schoolsLacking enough money Lacking 10._答案:1.Charter schools2.Definition/Meaning3.Receiving tax money4.agreement (or charter)5.Differences6.teaching contents7.how to reach/ways to reach/ways of reaching8.fewer9.traditional public schools10.(needed) space111
