22、Steven Spielberg never fails to blow us away with his imagination. The US director’s latest film Ready Player One, which was released in Chinese mainland cinemas on March 30, 2018, is a story set in the year 2045, when people escape their hopeless everyday lives by putting on a VR mask and entering a virtual world named Oasis. This fantasy land is filled with characters and settings right out of classic films and videogames like The Shining and Overwatch. It’s a feast both for the eyes and mind. And at the age of 71, Spielberg is still “at the top of his game”, wrote reporter Rafer Guzman on Newsday.

Indeed, Spielberg has always been a gamer himself or rather a game changer. When his thriller Jaws (《白鲨》) came out in 1975, it struck a chord (引起共鸣) with audiences all over the world and kept people from going swimming for fear. The film was also the first example of what we now know as summer blockbusters.

“Jaws invented that form of pleasurable entertainment,” wrote Stephen Marche on Esquire. “It also turned sharks, in the popular imagination, from fish into monsters.”

And again, in his 1982 film E. T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Spielberg challenged people’s beliefs that aliens are something to be feared by telling a story about a loving friendship between a space creature and a little boy. “Spielberg redefined popular sci-fi”, wrote Marc Lee on The Telegraph. “Extra-terrestrials no longer had to be a threat to humanity: the universe, he was saying, is also full of awe and wonder.”

Now comes Ready Player One. When Wade Watts, the film’s teenage protagonist (主角), finally prevents Oasis from falling into the wrong hands, he’s given ownership of the virtual world by its late designer James Halliday. But Watts makes a decision that he hopes he will make people want to appreciate their real lives, instead of spending all their free time escaping reality in Oasis, which is a real-life message that Spielberg is trying to deliver to the audience.

【1】What does the underlined word “virtual” in paragraph 1 mean?

A．terrible

B．not real

C．present

D．not certain

【2】What is the article mainly about?

A．Spielberg’s suggestions for other film directors.

B．Spielberg’s new film and his achievements.

C．The secret to Spielberg’s success.

D．The life journey of Spielberg.

【3】Which film is considered the first example of a “summer blockbuster”?

A．The Shining.

B．E. T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

C．Jaws.

D．Ready Player One.

【4】Why is E. T. the Extra-Terrestrial special among all alien films?

A．It was the first film about aliens.

B．It questions the existence of aliens.

C．It describes aliens as something friendly.

D．It points out that aliens are a threat to humanity.

【5】What message does Spielberg want to deliver with Ready Player One?

A．People should enjoy their real lives as much as they can.

B．People can find much pleasure in virtual worlds.

C．It’s difficult for people to escape reality.

D．People should have the right to choose whether to enter virtual worlds.

23、Zhang Guimei is the headmaster of the first free girls’ high school in China. She once made a promise, “I will build a free high school for girls in the mountains.” Why did Zhang decide to do so?

About 20 years ago, while on the way to visit a student’s house, Zhang Guimei noticed a girl sitting on the hillside. The 13-year-old girl told Zhang that she was about to get married (结婚). The girl said she wanted to go to school. Zhang tried to talk with her parents and even promised to pay for the money of the girl’s education. But the parents didn’t agree.

Zhang felt very sad because she couldn’t help the girl. She could imagine that more girls here couldn’t get good education because of the poor family. These girls didn’t see the outside world and they didn’t have dreams. They must get married early to reduce (减少) pressure on their parents.

At that time, Zhang decided to build a free public high school for these girls in the mountain area. She met with many difficulties but she didn’t give up. Finally, on September 1st, 2008, she set up Huaping High School for Girls at the foot of the Shizi Mountain in Huaping. She said, “I expect more and more girls to go to the university and have their own lives.”

【1】Why did Zhang Guimei decide to set up a free high school for girls in the mountains?

A．Because she liked to be the headmaster.

B．Because she used to be poor.

C．Because the girls there couldn’t get good education.

D．Because she wanted to teach there.
