　　第一节(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分)

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　A

　　Few of us haven’t read Cinderella, 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(默默无闻).

　　Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured 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 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 fairy tale as its jumping off point,” writes movie critic Amber Wilkinson. “Yet the focus is firmly on following your dream.”

　　31. The first paragraph is mainly to ____________.

　　A. inform us of the importance to marry a prince

　　B. remind us why Cinderella is popular all the years

　　C. build interest and lead us to Mary’s secret dream

　　D. tell us how interesting the fairy tale Cinderella is

　　32. In the movie, Mary Santiago is the main character who _____________.

　　A. is brave in expressing her love B. is badly treated by the stepmother

　　C. has a dream of meeting a prince D. is embarrassed by the pop singer

　　33. What can we infer from the passage?

　　A. Joey is just like other boys in Mary’s class.

　　B. The MP3 player helps Joey in finding Mary.

　　C. Not many people have a dream to be realized.

　　D. Mary’s mother influences her a lot in singing.

　　34. What does movie critic Amber Wilkinson mean by his words about Another

　　Cinderella Story?

　　A. The movie is exactly another copy of the Cinderella fairy tale.

　　B. The movie is as good as the story Cinderella.

　　C. The movie and Cinderella both focus on following your dream.

　　D. The movie is based on the story Cinderella while a little different from it.

　　As we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we’ve yet to get around to. Yet re-readers are everywhere around us. For certain fans, re-reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually. One friend told me that Jane Austen’s Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times.

　　New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re-reading. Journalist Rebacca Mead, a long-time Englishwoman in New York, first came across George Eliot’s Middlemarch at 17. Since then, she has read it again every five years. With each re-reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated (引起共鸣) differently. Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we crack their spines. These kinds of books grow with us.

　　Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re-reading. Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the “what” and the “why”. Second time round, we’re able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express. As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book “brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers.”

　　It’s true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books (if we’re fond of making notes on the pages). These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then. We’re changed not only by lived experience but also by read experience – by the books that we’ve discovered since last reading the one in our hand.

　　More so than the movie director or the musician, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life. A book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book.

　　Perhaps what’s really strange is that we don’t re-read more often. After all, we watch our favourite films again and we wouldn’t think of listening to an album only once. We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one-time delight. A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it adequately worthwhile.

　　39. The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 mainly to __________.

　　A. attract the attention of readers

　　B. introduce the topic of the passage

　　C. provide some background information

　　D. show the similarity between re-readers

　　40. The underlined expression “crack their spines” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.

　　A. recite them B.re-read them C. recall them D. retell them

　　41. It can be learned from the passage that __________.

　　A. reading benefits people both mentally and physically

　　B. readers mainly focus on feelings on their first reading

　　C. we know ourselves better through re-reading experience

　　D. writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do

　　42. The purpose of the passage is to __________.

　　A. call on different understandings of old books

　　B. focus on the mental health benefits of reading

　　C. bring awareness to the significance of re-reading

　　D. introduce the effective ways of re-reading old books
