"A survey was conducted in Shanghai where interviewees were asked if they wanted to be a factory worker．One percent of all people interviewed said “YES," Wang Hongjun, a technician, said, raising his voice for dramatic effect．"But I can tell you, only a small part of that 1 percent are telling the truth．"

       I've met colorful people like Wang all over China．They are cynical （玩世不恭的） yet warmhearted, plain spoken but smart．And many of them are confined （局限于） to work in factories．

       Wang is a top technician but also represents manual factory workers, who are China's most important natural resource．Their energy is powering China's economic boom, and their muscle is turning the wheel of the world's factory．

       But does their unskilled labor give their life meaning? At school, did they tell their friends: "When I grow up I want to work in a factory making socks?" Did you?[來(lái)源:Zxxk.Com]

       Factory work has always been a stepping-stone from farm life to the city and a modern life．It's been happening for centuries, but today, with our space-age technology, it's outdated．Earning 1,200 yuan （$169） per month working in a factory is better than that on a farm, but as Wang points out, it's not a dream career．There should be better ways to earn your rice．

       Many modern factories no longer have production line workers．Robots do the assembly （裝配）．People just do the monitoring．In this age of technology, in which China is now working smarter and not just harder, why are people still standing in production lines?

       But life is cheap in China．So why not continue to exploit the low-cost labor situation and keep the economy growing fast, some entrepreneurs may ask．

1.How many people surveyed really like to be factory workers?

       A．One percent                      

       B．Only a small part

       C．Only a small part of that one percent   

       D．The writer didn’t mention it．

2.Which is NOT the writer's opinion of factory workers?

       A．cynical                                     B．unimportant

       C．warmhearted                                D．plain spoken

 

 

3.Wang Hongjun is a person who is         ．

       A．difficult to get along with

       B．humorous but serious

       C．cynical but warmhearted, plain spoken but smart

       D．full of energy but doesn't want to work hard

4.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

       A．Factory workers make contributions to China's economic boom．

       B．Working in a factory is better than that on a farm．

       C．Factory workers are satisfied with their living conditions．

       D．Some entrepreneurs exploited the low-cost labor situation．

5.The writer uses          to begin the passage．

       A．a(chǎn) lot of figures                                    B．many examples

       C．some dialogue                                     D．the result of a survey

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2014屆安徽池州一中高三第一次月考英語(yǔ)卷 題型：閱讀理解

 Taiwan-born American director Ang Lee's win of his second directing Oscar has sparked complex feelings among Chinese audiences, who expressed their pride due to the director's Chinese roots, but couldn't help but reflect on why the Chinese mainland has failed to deliver more outstanding films to the world .

   Lee, 58, on Sunday accepted the Academy Award for best director for Life of Pi, a 3D adventure-drama film. Lee had won the top directing award in 2006 for Brokeback Mountain and the best foreign language film Oscar in 2001 for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

   Lee came to Hollywood's attention after directing three Chinese-language films in the early 1990s, with an emphasis on the interactions between modernity and Chinese traditions. Some Web users called Lee "a source of pride for Chinese people," and admired him for bearing the torch of Chinese culture.

   However, a large number of audience members and critics from the mainland expressed their frustrations over home-made movies: Mainland filmmakers have made numerous ambitious tries for the prestigious award but never won.

   Hao Jie, a young director whose 2010 film Single Man won the Special Jury Prize in the Tokyo Filmex Festival but was never screened in the mainland for it showed complex sex lives in a village.

  "Due to the censorship(審查), we are prevented from the beginning of our production, which forbids our works from mirroring realities," Hao said.

   While acknowledging the system's role in undermining(削弱) excellent works, Su Mu, a well-known film critic, argued that the atmosphere in the mainland's film circle is also to blame. "Lee produces his works with his heart, but most mainland directors now only have money in mind."

   Though having obtained approval for his second film from the film authority, Hao said cinemas have kept delaying the screening of his work. "This is another factor that prevents us from progressing. Cinemas won't risk showing our film, which features no stars and is considered non-mainstream," complained Hao.

1.What does the underlined phrase “the prestigious award” refer to?

A. the Best Director of Oscar

B. any of the Oscar Awards

C. the Special Jury Prize

D. the best foreign language film Oscar

2.Which of the following statements is true? 

A. Ang Lee’s films are always focusing on Chinese traditions.

B. Chinese audiences are proud of their Chinese identity in the films.

C. Ang Lee has won the world’s favor only by means of his three Oscars.

D. Ang Lee is famous for his combining modernity and Chinese traditions.

3.Which of the following is NOT the factor that prevents Chinese mainland films’ progressing?

A. Strict censorship.

B. A lack of wonderful directors.

C. The bad atmosphere in the film circle.

D. Cinemas’ not risking showing low-cost films.

4.The best title for the passage is probably_____.

A. Ang Lee-Pride of Chinese Movie-makers

B. The Future of Chinese Mainland Film-making

C. Bitter-sweet Feeling over Ang Lee’s Oscar Win

D. What Can Chinese Films Do for the Oscar Awards
