问题:问答题Practice 4 京剧中的“生、旦、净、丑”其实不过是角色分类。“生”是男性正面角色,“旦”是女性正面角色,“净”是性格鲜明的男性配角,“丑”是幽默滑稽或反面角色。每种角色又有表明身份的脸谱、扮相等,只要演员一上场,你一望便知。 在人的脸上涂上某种颜色以象征这个人的性格和品质、角色和命运,是京剧的一大特点,也是理解剧情的关键。简单地讲,红脸含有褒义,代表忠勇;黑脸为中性,代表猛智;蓝脸和绿脸也为中性,代表草莽英雄;黄脸和白脸含贬义,代表凶诈;金脸和银脸代表神秘、神妖。

问题:问答题Practice 3 Dolly was no ordinary lamb. She was cloned from a single mammary cell of an adult ewe, overturning long- held scientific dogma that had declared such a thing biologically impossible. Her birth set off a race in laboratories around the world to duplicate the breakthrough and raised the specter of human cloning. A decade later, scientists are starting to come to grips with just how different Dolly was. Dozens of animals have been cloned since that first little lamb and it’s becoming increasingly clear that they are all, in one way or another, defective. It’s tempting to think of clones as perfect carbon copies of the original—down to every hair and quirk of temperament. It turns out, though, that there are various degrees of genetic replication. Not only are clones separated from the original template by time—-in Dolly’s case, six years—but they are also the product of an unnatural molecular mechanism that turns out not to be very good at making identical copies. But scientists see a role for cloning in treating human diseases—and perhaps someday conquering some of man’s most intractable conditions. It may be another 10 years or more before the approach yields anything safe and reliable enough to be used in real patients, and there is no guarantee that it will ever be successful. But nobody thought Dolly was possible until she made history that warm July night 10 years ago.
问题:问答题Practice 2 Talk about fanciful thinking. One might as well ask if there will be a war that will end all wars, or a pill that will make us all good-looking. It is also a perfectly understandable question, given that half a million Americans will die this year of a disorder that is often discussed in terms that make it seem less like a disease than an unconquerable enemy. What tuberculosis was to the 19th century, cancer is to the 20th: an malevolent force that frightens people beyond all reason far more than, say, diabetes or high blood pressure. The welcome boom in cancer drugs owes its beginning to one of the 20th century’s greatest scientific insights: that cancer is caused not by depression or deteriorating environment or sexual repression, but by faulty genes. Every tumor begins with just one errant cell that has been unlucky enough to suffer at least two, but sometimes several, genetic mutations. Those mutations cause the cell to replicate wildly, allowing it to escape the control that genes normally maintain over the growth of new tissue. This realization has transformed cancer, in little more than a decade, from an utterly mysterious disease into a disorder whose molecular machinery is largely understood. This new view has sparked innovations that will manage the process and keep it from killing large numbers of people.

问题:问答题Passage 6 They weren’t exactly Hollywood’s idea of a power couple: Disney CEO Robert Iger, once derided as a “suit,” and studio chief Richard Cook, who got his start as a monorail operator at Disneyland. But last week Iger and Cook dropped a bomb bigger than any of the explosions you’ll see in “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.” Just weeks after the record-smashing release of the sequel—soon to be the highest-grossing film in Disney history—Cook fired studio president Nina Jacobson and announced Disney was slashing 20 percent of its studio staff and cutting the number of films it makes each year by a third. As usual, Hollywood thought it was all about them. “People are concerned that if Disney is cutting back on live-action movies, then what are other companies going to do,” says Jim Wiatt, chief executive of the William Morris Agency. The unflappable Iger’s response: “We’re focused on our own issues and strategies. If it has an effect on the industry, so be it. But it really is about us.” Not bad for two guys who were considered perpetual bridesmaids. Iger and Cook both spent years toiling in the shadow of larger-than-life CEO Michael Eisner, who ran Disney like his personal kingdom. When Eisner’s reign came to a Shakespearean end after a shareholder revolt led by Walt Disney’s nephew, Iger found himself having to audition for his boss’s job. Cook, who came up through the marketing ranks, had to endure similar Tinseltown tongue-clucking from those who assumed the affable bear of a guy didn’t have teeth. No one’s saying Iger and Cook aren’t “sexy” anymore. In short order, Iger made up with shareholders and Pixar honcho Steve Jobs, who’ d had an epic battle with Eisner, even persuading Jobs to sell the animation company to Disney. Cook, meanwhile, had been turning theme-park rides into movies and getting Disney back to its family roots. “Dick and Bob go by their own beat,” says Oren Aviv, who was promoted to president of production last week. “They’ re not interested in fanfare or press or what other people think.” (Mostly not interested: Iger did tell NEWSWEEK once, “I hate being called a suit.”) What people think now is that Disney is setting the pace for the industry. The film business has been on shaky ground: U. S. box office is flat, DVD sales have stalled and the cost of making movies is soaring. Family films seem like the only sure bets these days, and Disney is in a prime position to meet the demand. “Disney is the only real brand name in the movie business around the world,” says Cook. In fact, Iger is taking the name “Disney World” quite literally. He spoke to NEWSWEEK Friday after flying home from a five-day trip to Asia, where he attended the stage premiere of “The Lion King” in Shanghai. His immediate goal is to build the Disney brand in China and India. Iger has also aggressively embraced technological advances, podcasting and Webcasting episodes of “Lost” and “Desperate Housewives,” hits on Disney’s ABC network. “I don’t see technology as a threat,” he says. “Technology allows us to be in step with the consumer.” All of which sounds pretty good to Wall Street. Last week’s cuts will save the company between $ 90 million and $100 million a year, according to Cook, and while that wasn’t enough to boost its stock price, it sure doesn’t hurt investor relations. “Iger has stated his goals and stuck to [them]; investors like that predictability,” says analyst Jason Helfstein of CIBC World Markets. “He’s widely regarded in a positive light.” Ironic, since he wasn’t supposed to have the job in the first place. 1. What was the “bomb” that Iger and Cook dropped in Disney Company? 2. What contributions have Iger and Cook done to Disney Company? 3. Why does the author say that “the film business has been on shaky ground”? (Para. 5) 4. Why do people believe now that Disney is setting the pace for the industry? (Para. 5)

问题:问答题Practice 7 中国的传统节日文化内涵丰富,历史悠久,是我们中华民族灿烂文化的重要组成部分。我国古代的这些节日,大多和天文、历法、数学,以及后来划分出的节气有关。大部分节日在先秦时期,就已初露端倪。节日的风俗活动和原始祭拜、迷信禁忌有关;神话传奇故事为节日子添了几分浪漫色彩;还有宗教也对节日有冲击与影响;一些历史人物被赋予永恒的纪念渗入节日,使中国的节日有了深沉的历史感。节日发展到唐代,已经从原始祭拜、禁忌神秘的气氛中解放出来,转为娱乐礼仪型,成为真正的佳节良辰。
