　　(2015·江南十校高三联考)

　　Hungry For a Win

　　A victor is, by definition, someone who wins a struggle or contest. However, that doesnt mean he or she will live a proud and happy life ever after, as Katniss Everdeen is about to discover in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

　　Catching Fire, out in Chinese theaters on Nov. 21, is set in a futuristic society called Panem. Every year its government holds a televised fight to the death. Two teenagers from each of the 12 districts of Panem are chosen to compete.

　　In the new film, last year?s victors Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and her partner Peeta are back home after winning the 74th Hunger Games. Katniss just wants to live a normal life.

　　However,

　　that

　　never

　　seems

　　to

　　happen.

　　She

　　has nightmares, which remind her that she is a killer.

　　Her worst nightmare comes true when the annual Hunger Games arrive again.

　　The teenager finds herself back in the competition along with Peeta.

　　Since Katniss brings hope to Panem through her courage, President Snow plans to use this year?s Games to kill off Katniss and Peeta and in turn dampen the fire of rebellion.

　　“This is the next step of Katniss’ heroism and the next part of her journey to finding out who she is really going to be，” Lawrence told Reuters.

　　Fast­paced and full of action, Catching Fire looks to outdo the success that the first film had in 2012. With a 97 percent rating on the movie review website Rotten Tomatoes, it is enjoying positive reviews.

　　Critics have praised it for being faithful to

　　the

　　book written by

　　American

　　author Suzanne Collins.

　　The

　　Hollywood Reporter said

　　that

　　Catching

　　Fire outshines the first movie a lot.

　　Jennifer Lawrence, who won a best actress Oscar this year for her 2012 movie Silver Linings Playbook, has helped Catching Fire find success, Forbes pointed out. The 23­year­old actress does well in playing a young lady who hates what she was forced to do to stay alive yet is determined not to give up.

　　“Lawrence?s down­to­earth personality in real life won the hearts of the public. So given a wildly popular first film that blew everyone away, a rising fan base and a lead performer beloved by the mainstream press and viewers, the sequel (续集) was always going to be big，” Forbes noted.

　　(2015·江苏五市联考)He is one of the most charming young heroes since Harry Potter. Like Potter, he is chosen by fate to carry out a_mission,_but unlike the boy wizard, he doesn’t get any chances to have fun or hang out with friends because he’s a little too busy preparing to lead during an upcoming war to save the Earth.

　　Meet Ender Wiggin, 15, the main character of the hit US sci­fi movie Ender’s Game(《安德的游戏》)，which will come out on Jan. 7 in China.

　　The story opens in 2086 — 50 years after an insect­like alien race, called the Formics, attacked the Earth and killed tens of millions of people before being driven back to their home planet. Since then, human beings have been in a state of fear, awaiting a second attack.

　　Earth’s military leaders seek young warriors to risk going into space for battle, and children are taught to compete for these positions. As the film explains, youths can make leaps of logic and intuition, devising effective attack strategies more quickly than adults.

　　So here comes Ender, the savior (救世主) of all mankind. Though Ender is a skinny kid, smaller than most, he is also smarter than average. He tends to analyze situations and easily find ways to achieve the most positive outcomes. This rare gift makes him stand out in the program and get promoted to the Battle School, where he is directed to plan and carry out a series of virtual attacks on the Formics.

　　Can he use his military talents to wipe out Earth’s enemies?

　　Despite the obvious “be all you can be” subtext (潜台词), the movie “explores complex issues, including the consequences of violence and maintaining humanity and morality during wartime with intelligence and insight，”commented Yahoo.

　　According to The Hollywood Reporter，the film best presents the power of empathy (感情移入), which is what makes Ender a good leader. “The reason Ender succeeds is because he understands what makes his opponents tick (有某种行为) on the battlefield，” explained the entertainment news site.

　　6．The underlined words “a mission” in the first paragraph probably refer to “__________”．

　　C．Enders success proves that a good leader should have intelligence and insight and make full use of his or her teammates’ talents.

　　D．The movie discusses a variety of issues such as the effects of violence and the importance of morality and humanity during wartime..1.选A　句意：一份年度调查显示，年龄在10至19岁的韩国人中有2%的人需要接受网络游戏过量的治疗或有成瘾的危险。addiction“上瘾”；administration“管理”；association“协会”；attraction“吸引人的人/事”。

　　2．选D　句意：在为这项提议辩护发言时，他指出这项提议实施起来将经济得多。in defence of“为……辩护”，符合句意。in honor of“向……表示敬意”；in need of“需要”；in control of“掌管，控制”。

　　3．选B　expose和feel的逻辑主语都是句子的主语men。men是expose的承受者，而feel是men的感觉，所以第一个空用v.­ed形式表示被动，第二个空用v.­ing形式表示主动。

　　4．选C　句意：学校经常忽视学生才能的多样化，因为它们通常狭隘地关注学生的学业能力。oppose“反对”；applaud“鼓掌”；overlook“忽略”；promote“提升，晋升”。

　　5．选B　句意：不要害怕困难。困难能帮助你积累经验，经验进而能开拓你的眼界。accumulate“积累”，符合语境。

　　6．选B　句意：“这个实验特别重要。”“我明白。无论我们能不能得到足够的钱，我们都会继续进行下去。”whether ... or ...表示“不管是……还是……”。

　　10．选A　give much thought to sth.“充分考虑某事”；由suggestion可知，that从句应用“(should) do”结构。

　　11．选C　第一空表达的是“他所做的事是令人失望的”，应用disappointing；“对某人失望”应用be disappointed with sb.，故选C。

　　12．选B　句意：这对双胞胎姐妹长得十分相像，很难辨认。此处非谓语动词作状语，resemble与句子主语是主动关系，故选B。动词的不定式表示将来的动作；动词过去分词表示被动关系。

　　13．选C　句意：正如女发言人所说的那样，我们是否应该针对他们采取行动取决于他们将会怎么做。本空需要用连词引导主语从句，表示“是否”，因此用whether引导。注意：if引导主语从句时不能置于句首。

　　14．选A　句意：她的确自相矛盾。她说她绝不会早结婚，但她却这样做了。contradict“与……相矛盾”，此处did用于动词前表示强调。

　　15．选B　句意：为了吸引更多的顾客，许多网店在“光棍节”提供很大的折扣。此处为目的状语，因此使用不定式，应选B。

　　Ⅱ.语篇解读：本文介绍了美国影片《饥饿游戏2：星火燎原》的故事情节、影评界的好评以及主人公的扮演者的相关信息。

　　1．选C　词义猜测题。画线词所在句说Katniss通过自己的勇气给Panem带来希望，而总统Snow则计划利用这一年的游戏杀死Katniss和Peeta以“dampen”这座城市里的反叛之火。由此推断画线词的含义是“抑制，减弱”。

　　2．选B　细节理解题。第二段说该比赛中12个地区每个地区选两名青少年，故A项错误；第三段说第74届比赛中Katniss获得“饥饿游戏”的冠军，但从此一直做噩梦，故B项正确；第四段谈到这一年度的“饥饿游戏”中，总统希望借此机会把他们消灭掉，故C项错误；从第七段首句可知D项不正确。
