Question

【題目】 Few of us haven’t read Cinderella (灰姑娘), the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone’s heart — we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity (默默無聞). Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured (特點) in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.

Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenager pop singer, Joey Parker, appears. Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not — kind, handsome and desirable. Mary and Joey’s paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked (邪惡的) stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn’t get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.

The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern day twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.

“The movie takes the Cinderella fairytale as its jumping off point,” writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson, “The focus is firmly on following your dream.”

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】B

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文。章簡要介紹了現(xiàn)代的一部曲折的經(jīng)典童話故事的影片，并進(jìn)行了評價。這是一部和灰姑娘故事相似又有些許不同的故事。

【1】推理判斷題。在文章第一段中用灰姑娘的故事引出下面要討論的關(guān)于這部電影的話題，主要是為了引起人們的興趣，讓我們想了解《瑪麗的秘密夢想》這部電影。故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams.可知，但當(dāng)瑪麗不得不趕回家時，她留下了她的MP3播放器，這成為喬伊找到他的夢中情人的唯一線索。由此可知，這個MP3播放器幫助喬伊找到瑪麗。故選D。

【3】主旨大意題。本文講述的是現(xiàn)代版的灰姑娘的故事，這是一部電影，在文章中具體描述這里這部電影的細(xì)節(jié)內(nèi)容和特色之處，故這是一篇影評。故選B。

本文講述的是現(xiàn)代版的灰姑娘的故事，這是一部電影，在文章中具體描述這里這部電影的細(xì)節(jié)內(nèi)容和特色之處。本文主旨鮮明，很容易在文中找到答案。做題時要注意文章的首段和每一段的首句或尾句，因為它們往往就是文章的主題句。閱讀中要注意要點之間的關(guān)系。然后帶著問題，再讀全文，找出答題所需要的依據(jù)，完成閱讀任務(wù)。
