4.阅读理解

A

My favorite book that I’ve read is the well-known novel Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen. The novel is about a thirteen-year-old boy named Brian Robeson. He goes to meet his father in Canada, but when he’s in the plane heading for his father, something goes terribly wrong—the pilot of the plane gets a sudden heart attack. Brian is stranded(处于困境) in the Canadian wilderness after the plane crashes, with only a hatchet(手斧) and the clothes on his back.

As the plane goes down in the story, the risks rise for Brian. That’s one reason why this book is so great. Gary Paulsen explains Brian’s troubles in simple words, but he also uses lots of those words to describe Brian’s troubles as well.

One other reason is that it sparks(激发) your mind into reading or makes you start reading Gary Paulsen’s books. In this novel, the question is, “How will the main character survive? ” So it’s obvious that this book is an adventure and a “man against nature” novel. As you have probably guessed, Brian suffers from hunger and searches for food and shelter. When Brian finds any kind of food, he feels as if he just found money in the street.

The third reason why this book is so well thought of is the creativity Gary has put into Brian. Brian uses a lot of things in his surroundings in every way:  a common stick can be a spear(矛) or an arrow.

In a word, when you start this book, you won’t stop reading it until Brian is rescued. I feel that Gary Paulsen gave Brian Robeson life, and that’s what made Hatchet a great book. [来源:&科&网]

1. What challenge does Brian have to face?

A. He can hardly keep himself warm. B. He is too young to protect himself.

C. It’s very difficult to find food. D. He has no tools with him.

2. What’s probably the ending of the story?

A. The boy is found and saved. B. The boy fails to defeat difficulties.

C. The boy manages to fly to his father.

D. The boy lives in the wilderness forever.

3. We can learn from the text that _________.  

A. the novel mainly tells us how to survive in the wild

B. hatchet is the only thing that the pilot leaves to Brian

C. Gary Paulsen saved Brian Robeson’s life

D. the author thinks highly of the novel

B

　　I went to a movie theater with my roommate yesterday. His hobby is watching movies. He is enthusiastic about movies. I was very glad when he said that he would take me to a movie theater. As a student abroad,  I always spend my time reading books in the library or studying in the classroom,  so I looked forward to going to the movies.

The movie we saw was called The Patriot. It described the love between a father and his children during the time of the American War of Independence. It is a war story based on history, but the story was created by the writer for entertainment. The movie was enjoyable in that sometimes it made us laugh, and other times it made us cry. It was a successful movie.

The most amazing thing was the reaction of the audience. It was different. Though I could concentrate on watching a movie in Japan, I could not in America because of the reaction of the audience. They laughed loudly when an actor told a joke and they applauded at the plot when the main character killed his enemy. It was amazing to me that they expressed their emotions openly.

In other words, an American theater is a space for everyone to enjoy. If I did that in a public place in Japan, most of the audience would look down on me or complain about the noisiness, and the person beside me might say, “Could you please be silent? ”

There seems to be a cultural difference between America and Japan. It is said that Americans always express their emotions and opinions and that we always conceal(隐藏)ours. I’m glad to observe such a difference because I can feel I am experiencing a real thing while visiting the United States.

1. The writer wrote the story in order to_________.  

A. introduce an enjoyable war movie to us

B. show his studying experience in America

C. give us some advice on how to behave in a movie theater

D. tell us a cultural difference between America and Japan

2. What do you know about the author?

A. He is a Japanese and studies in America.

B. He doesn’t work hard at his lessons.

C. He is tired of the life as a student abroad.

D. He is fond of watching movies very much.

3. It can be known from the passage that Americans_________.  

A. hide their emotions from strangers

B. express their emotions openly

C. are not so polite as the Japanese

D. look down upon the Japanese

4. When Japanese people are watching a movie, they usually _________.  

A. laugh loudly　　　　 B. exchange their ideas

C. keep quiet    D. make some comments
