song, a little apple, has become such a hit that it has even inspired square-dancing troupes(团) to mimic(模仿) its music video.when old boys: the way of the dragon, an adventure comedy featuring the song, was released on july 10, the unusual publicity strategy was applauded. ticket sales of old boys: the way of the dragon surpassed 150 million yuan in the first week of hitting the big screen. interactive online campaigns involving fans have become a popular way to promote a movie. the first two episodes(集) of tiny times, the directing debut(处女作) of author, guo jingming, made 800 million yuan at the box office last year, in spite of criticism for its portrayal(描绘) of lavish(奢华的) lifestyles. before the third episode was shown, fans donated a small sum of money online as “investors” in the movie. some of the people who donated received film souvenirs, or the chance to visit the film set.han han, guos major competitor, has just released his directorial debut, road-trip comedy, the continent. han has over 38 million followers on sina weibo, chinas major micro-blogging platform. he has broadcast the filming process of the movie to his followers since he began shooting. the films trailer(预告片)was released online in may, only three days after shooting and it has been viewed 4.7 million times.“i dont care too much about the surprising numbers online, and what matters more is whether the movie is good or not,” han once said. however, when he invited popular singer, pu shu, to write the closing song for the movie, he must have had another idea in mind. pu, who has been away from the public eye for some 11 years, also brings a new element for the movie claiming to be devoted to young people. the song became very popular as soon as it was released online.no one knows what other trump cards will be thrown on the table during the tense online campaign this summer.21. how does the author develop the text?a. by giving examples. b. by cause and effect.c. by following the

where may this article be found?a. in a fashion magazine. b. in the advertisement section of a newspaper.c. from an entertainment report in a newspaper. d. from a finance journal.bmy favorite book that ive read is the well-known novel hatchet, by gary paulsen. the novel is about a thirteen-year-old boy named brian robeson. he goes to meet his father in canada, but when hes in the plane heading for his father, something goes terribly wrong the pilot of the plane gets a sudden heart attack. brian is stranded (处于困境) in the canadian wilderness after the plane crashes, with only a hatchet (手斧) and the clothes on his back. as the plane goes down in the story, the risks rise for brian. thats one reason why this book is so great. gary paulsen explains brians troubles in simple words, but he also uses lots of those words to describe brians troubles as well. one other reason is that it sparks (激发) your mind into reading or makes you start reading gary paulsens books. in this novel, the question is, “how will the main character survive?” so its obvious that this book is an adventure and a “man against nature” novel. as you have probably guessed, brian suffers from hunger and searches for food and shelter. when brian finds any kind of food, he feels as if he just found money in the street. the third reason why this book is so well thought of is the creativity gary has put into brian. brian uses a lot of things in his surroundings in every way: a common stick can be a spear (矛) or an arrow. in a word, when you start this book, you wont stop reading it until brian is rescued. i feel that gary paulsen gave brian robeson life, and thats what made hatchet a great book.25. what challenge does brian have to face?a. he can hardly keep himself warm. b. he is too young to protect himself. c. its very difficult to find food. d. he has no tools with him.26. whats probably the ending of the story?a. the boy is found and saved. b. the boy fails to defeat difficulties.c. the boy manages to fly to his father.d. the boy lives in the wilderness forever.27. we can learn from the text that .a. the novel mainly tells us how to survive in the wildb. hatchet is the only thing that the pilot leaves to brianc. gary paulsen saved brian robesons life d. the author thinks highly of the novelcbig ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock in london. the name was given in honor of sir benjamin hall, who was in charge of the work when the bell was built in 1856. it didnt strike until 3 years later. the clock has become a landmark of the united kingdom and london, particularly in the visual media (可视媒体). when a television-or film-maker wishes to quickly show a non-uk audience a certain location in britain, a popular way to do so is to show an image of the clock tower. the clock tower is a focus of new year celebrations in the united kingdom, with radio and tv stations tuning to its chimes(报时钟声) to welcome the start of the year.londoners who live a proper distance from the clock tower and big ben can, by means of listening to the chimes both live and on the radio or television, hear the bell strike thirteen times on new years eve. this is possible because the speed of sound is a lot slower than the speed of radio waves.big ben has appeared in many films. in the 1978 version of the thirty-nine steps, the hero attempted to halt(停止) the clocks progress to prevent a linked bomb blowing up by hanging from the minute hand of its western face. it was also used in the filming of shanghai knights starring jackie chan and owen wilson, and was described as being partially destroyed in the 2010 film doctor who. an animated version(卡通版) of the clock was also used as the setting in the walt disney film the great mouse detective, and was shown being destroyed by a ufo in the film mars attacks!28. which of the following is true according to the passage? a. the nickname of the clock was given by benjamin. b. the clock strikes 13 times to welcome the new year. c. the radio and tv make a mistake about the clocks chimes. d. benjamin was responsible for the work when the bell was built.29. big ben has served people for about years. a. 151 b. 148 c. 146 d. 15330. the second paragraph mainly wants to show us that big ben is . a. a symbol of uk and london b. a most popular scene for film-makers c. a must-see sight for tourists to london d. a popular place to have pictures taken31. in which of the following movies was the clock destroyed? a. the thirtynine steps and shanghai knights. b. shanghai knights and doctor who. c. the great mouse detective and doctor who. d. mars attacks and doctor who. das we know, there are differences between western culture and chinese culture. we can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. lets look at the words about animals and plants. most expressions in chinese about the dog, for example, “a homeless dog”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse”, have negative meanings. but in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans. in english, people use the dog to describe positive actions. for example, “you are a lucky dog” means you are a lucky person. and “every dog has its day” means each person has good luck sometimes. to describe a persons serious illness, they say “sick as a dog”. the word “dog-tired” means very tired. however, chinese love cats very much. but in western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is cruel. there are many other examples of how “cat” is used differently as well.the rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both china and some western countries. people think the rose stands for love, peace, courage and friendship. and the rose is the national flower of england, america and many other countries.the words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. we can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used.32. “every dog has its day” means “_”.a. everybody in the world is lucky. b. each person lives his own way of life.c. if one works hard, hes sure to succeed. d. everybody has a time in life to be lucky.33. western people usually use “cat” to refer to “_”.a. a tired person b. a brave man c. a homeless person d. an unkind woman34. which of the following is true according to
