21、   They say that 'a picture is worth a thousand words', but the briefest look at books and the movies based on them would have anyone questioning this common saying. All too often, great words end up being turned into cinematic 'turkeys'.

Good movies need good stories. If so, why has one of the earliest and greatest works in Western storytelling, Homer's The Odyssey, never had an equally great movie based on it? Movies need strong characters. So why have the movies based on The Great Gatsby never been praised as 'great'? Movies of course need impressive images, so why has Alice in Wonderland only resulted in movies best described as 'interesting'?

One of the key reasons behind this is that while a book usually takes a few days to read, a movie typically lasts under two hours. This means that great books can lose plot details and characters when they move to the big screen. This is something that even the highly successful Harry Potter movies can't escape from, with fans of the books disappointed not to see some of their favorite characters in the movie versions.

Movies also disappoint us when things don't look the way we imagined them in the books. Take, for example, the epic movie Troy, which is in part based on Homer's The Iliad and was met with mixed reviews from the audience. The most questionable issue was the actress chosen to play the part of Helen. Many people thought she didn't live up to Helen's title of 'the most beautiful woman in the world', influencing opinions of the movie to some extent.

There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes. Furthermore, books and movies are two different forms of media and therefore have different rules. With this in mind, perhaps we should judge a movie in its own right, and not against its original source. Interestingly, audiences have in recent years turned to television series such as Sherlock or Mad Men, which can have many characters and gradual plot development. Perhaps, one day, readers of F. Scott Fitzgerald's most admired work will find themselves glued to their screens by episodes of The Great Gatsby.

【1】Which of the following statements about the movie adaptation is true?

A.The characters in The Odyssey do not stand out.

B.The movie Troy doesn't look the way we visualized while reading the book.

C.The visual images are not as striking as the descriptions in the book The Great Gatsby.

D.Some parts of the story and characters are missing in the movie Alice in Wonderland.

【2】One of the reasons why adaptations disappoint the audience is that ________.

A.they lack good storytelling

B.the images are not impressive enough

C.the characters in the movies are not strong and interesting

D.there is not enough time for movies to fully present the whole story

【3】What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?

A.Every shoe fits not every foot.

B.Birds of a feather flock together.

C.Reading is a matter of personal taste.

【4】What does the text mainly talk about?

A.People are dissatisfied with the current movies.

B.Reading books is better than watching movies.

C.Good books may not be adapted for great movies.

D.People are expressing their preference to reading books.

23、Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches(沟渠)along the highway I travel daily to work.

There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eye. I've noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours; the afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.

This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I've often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Every day I drove past the flowers thinking, "I'II stop on my way home and dig them." "Gee, I don't want to get my good clothes dirty.,." Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding tool one year for my trunk to be used for that expressed purpose.

One day on my way home from work, I was upset to see that the highway department had removed the ditches

and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, "Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done

it when you first saw them blooming this spring."

A week ago we were shocked and sad to learn that my oldest sister-in-law has a serious brain disease. She is20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven't been as close as we all would have liked. I couldn't help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband's sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful

memories that will bloom every year for us.

And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I'll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.

D．Because she enjoys the way of life in company with the flowers.

【2】Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?

A．The blue flowers in the ditches always draw my attention.

B．We don't get on well with the sister-in-law in practice.

C．I never stopped to dig the flowers for some reason.

D．The sister-in-law lives far from us.

【3】According to the passage, the writer will .

A．stop to find the flowers whenever she drives along the highway

B．plant a variety of flowers in the garden in her yard in future

C．get as wonderful memories with the sister-in-law as before

24、In Britain, it’s bottoms up from the week before Christmas till the last firework explodes in the sky announcing the new year. The last Friday before Christmas, popularly known as ‘Mad Friday’, is one of the busiest periods for the country’s pubs and clubs.

The charity Alcohol Concern is running a campaign of restriction by encouraging people to have a dry January.

Jackie Ballard, the charity’s Chief Executive, believes the campaign has been successful in recent years.
