　　Ⅳ.閱讀理解

　　A

　　Based on Sue Monk Kidd's best selling novel, The Secret Life of Bees is a movie of hope and faith for even the unloved and oppressed. Just as in the book, young Lily's thoughts sound and read like poetry, from the first moment when her room fills with bees.

　　The movie tells the story of the young white girl who runs away from her cruel father. Lily convinces Rosaleen, the black housekeeper to escape with her, after Rosaleen is beaten when she attempts to vote. When Lily asks Rosaleen why she risked her life standing up to the angry men who wanted to kill her, she hears “Giving in to them would be just another way of dying”.

　　That's Lily's story, too.

　　She finally stands up to her father. They come to Tiburon, a town whose name is written on a label from a jar belonging to her mother before her death.

　　In Tiburon, there is no place where Rosaleen can eat or stay, despite the fact that President Johnson just signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964.

　　( It's still just a piece of paper, Rosaleen says. ) So Lily goes in to buy food for them, and sees the jar on sale. When Lily finds out it's made right there in a farmhouse, they go there and ask for help.

　　The good-hearted August who runs a successful company, offers them the honeycomb to live in.

　　From August, Lily learns honey business and a life lesson from the bees. She sees a world where intelligence, independence and culture are honored and rewarded. She watches Rosaleen begin to understand that the dream of freedom from oppression she gave up when she was beaten is now possible for her. It is August who helps Lily see that love is all around her and all the others.

　　本文簡要介紹了一部電影“The Secret Life of Bees”，講述了在20世紀60年代美國黑人民權運動風起云涌的時期，主人公Lily和Rosaleen為爭取民權和自由而奮斗的故事。

　　1．The story of Lily is mainly developed by ________.

　　A. time

　　B. space

　　C. examples

　　D. comparison

　　答案：A　推理判斷題。根據文章內容可知，這部電影從Lily勸說Rosaleen跟自己逃跑開始，講述了她們在Tiburon的生活以及認識了好心的August后生活的變化。故這部電影是按照時間順序講述的，選A。

　　2．Which is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. The movie is adapted from a novel.

　　B. Lily's father treats Rosaleen cruelly.

　　C. Lily's mother writes the label for her.

　　D. In fact, Lily's mother is August.

　　答案：A　細節理解題。根據第一段第一句可知，電影“The Secret Life of Bees”，是根據Sue Monk Kidd最暢銷的小說改編的，A項正確。

　　3．What does Rosaleen really want to get?

　　A．Better pay and honey business.

　　B. Equal rights and freedom.

　　C. The fight to be voted as president.

　　D. Enough food and houses.

　　答案：B　推理判斷題。根據第二段中的“she attempts to vote”，以及最后一段中的“...the dream of freedom from oppression...”可知，Rosaleen向往平等的權利及自由。

　　4．We can conclude that the story of Lily happened ________.

　　A. in modern America

　　B. in the 1960s in North America

　　C. when the black owned equal rights in America

　　D. before the independence of America

　　答案：B　細節理解題。根據第四段第一句中“...despite the fact that President Johnson just signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964”，可推知，事情發生在《民權法案》簽署之初，即20世紀60年代的北美，B項正確。

　　5．The passage is written to ________.

　　A. advertise a book

　　B. explain the secret of bees' life

　　C. introduce a movie

　　D. tell about American politics

　　答案：C　主旨大意題。本文主要介紹了電影“The Secret Life of Bees”的主要人物和內容，故選C。

　　B

　　We keep reading that TV is bad for you.If this is true，how come the current generation of TV-addicted kids is much smarter than we are？In my home，the only people who can work the remote control are the children.

　　Perhaps TV does educate you.For example，you learn a useful medical fact：A_person_who_has_been_shot_always_has_time_to_ speak_an_incomplete_sentence_before_he_dies.“The killer was...”(dies)

　　But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarded as“Life Skills”．Bad things only happen on dark and stormy nights.Emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas.And contrary to what scientists say，the crack(霹靂)of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time，wherever you are.

　　I've even acquired useful geographical facts from science-fiction shows；Aliens speak English no matter which planet they come from.

　　Making use of what we learn from TV can improve our security.Consider these truths.If you are ever attacked by 20 bad guys，don't worry about being outnumbered.The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all.Bad guys who are completely covered in black clothes always remove their black masks to reveal that they are in fact，aha，women.

　　TV also teaches us important information about escaping from danger.Watch and learn.(1)If anyone is running after you down a passage，you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over.(2)If you are tall and handsome，you can run from any number of armed criminals，and every shot will miss you.

　　Be warned，however.If your name card says“henchman”(幫兇)and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying to catch a handsome individual，a single shot will kill you.But don't be anxious：TV also delivers useful information for bad guys.All cars are inflammable(易燃的)and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly into the air and land without damage－except police cars.

　　TV even teaches about TV.Whenever anyone turns on a TV，it shows a news flash about someone they know.They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.

　　6．By saying“A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies”(Paragraph 2)，the writer shows his ________.

　　A．humor

　　B．sympathy

　　C．deep concern

　　D．medical knowledge

　　答案：A　推理判斷題。作者說影視劇里面人臨死前都有時間說一句不完整的話可以教我們懂得一個醫療常識，實際上是幽默了我們一下。故答案為A。

　　7．We can infer from Paragraph 3 that in the real world ________.

　　A．bad things cause people to break down in the rain

　　B．bad things never happen on dark and stormy nights

　　C．people with emotional problems like to walk in the rain without umbrellas

　　D．the crack of lightning and the accompanying flash don't happen at the same time

　　答案：D　推理判斷題。由該段中的And contrary to what scientists say，the crack(霹靂)of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time可知答案為D項。

　　8．On TV what usually happens when a person turns it on?

　　A．The news shown is always about someone the person knows.

　　B．The person always turns off the TV when it's time for news.

　　C．The program shown is always about the importance of TV.
