　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　A

　　Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and，having gained it，to learn how to use it properly.Recently I

　　walked into the locker room of a rather well­known golf club after finishing a round.It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes.But a half­dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than what was good for them.These same men can be found there day after day，and，strangely enough，each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth，successful in business and respected in the community.If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness，then each one should have been happy.Yet，it seemed to me，something very important was missing，or else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through Scotch and soda.They knew，each one of them，that their productivity had ceased(停止)．When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit，it is dying.And it is even so with man.

　　What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours？I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible.The words were few，but they became memorably impressed in my mind：“In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.”

　　To me，that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections(memories)．In fact，the battle of life，of existence，is a challenge to everyone.The immortal words of St.Paul，too，have been and always will be a great inspiration to me.At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight，I have finished the course，I have kept the faith.

　　1．Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?

　　A．Wealth results from honest effort.

　　B．The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.

　　C．For some people，no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than Scotch and soda.

　　D．The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.

　　2．The underlined sentence “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.” means “

　　”．

　　A．Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face.

　　B．No pain，no gain.

　　C．Failure is the mother of success.

　　D．Bread comes from the sweat on your face.

　　3．We learn from the passage that the author

　　.

　　A．was a wealthy person in the community

　　B．held a positive attitude

　　towards an active life

　　C．was fond of associating with celebrities(名人)

　　D．kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed

　　4．What is implied in the passage by the writer?

　　A．To use wealth properly，eat，drink and be merry.

　　B．Where there is a will，there is a way.

　　C．As life is but like a dream，a man is like a fruit tree.

　　D．If you cease to struggle，you cease to live.

　　B

　　Given its subject matter and time slot，A Bite of China was initially considered a “weak player” on TV.

　　“Man is what he eats，”said Ludwig Feuerbach.From its very beginning，A Bite of China is not just a documentary about food.“The scenes of digging for bamboo shoots，hanging hams，catching fish using a net，opening a steamer filled with white steamed buns，and pulling wheat dough into thin strands for noodles move us to tears.What a lovely China！” a viewer said.

　　A Bite of China is a serious documentary providing a unique view of Chinese as well as the relations between people，food and society from the perspective of food.

　　The touching documentary reminds some people of their mother，and makes some realize that every grain comes from hard and laborious toil.Some people see patriotism(爱国主义) in the documentary，and some consider it a great cultural export.

　　How did this documentary achieve a tremendous influence beyond its subject matter in such a short time?

　　“It is not empty propaganda(宣传) about China’s splendid food culture.Instead，it shows the techniques used in making food and their production process as well as the lives of ordinary people，thus striking a chord with the audience，” an Internet user said.The success of the documentary should be attributed to sincerity and reality.Nowadays，many works of art that have high investment，high technology，and magnificent scenes lack nothing but sincerity and reality.

　　It is said sarcastically(讽刺地) that Americans like to shoot sci­fi films because they have no history while Chinese like to shoot time­travel dramas to the past because they have no future.The correctness of this arbitrary(武断的) conclusion is debatable，but it has raised a thought­provoking question.Works that are created behind closed doors and fail to reflect reality or that only focus on the luxury lives of a few people and ignore ordinary people’s desire for ample food and clothing will not touch people’s hearts.

　　A Bite of China shows that a commercial documentary promoting patriotism can be full of touching details，that the emotions of ordinary Chinese people should be exhibited even in publicizing China overseas，and that even a completely commercial program can achieve both artistic and commercial success.

　　“We made this documentary with our respect and love for food，” said director Chen Xiaoqing.Being sincere is the most important thing for artists because they cannot move others unless they themselves are first moved，and cannot convince others unless they themselves are first convinced.Sincerity is the “secret” to making this documentary so popular，and every cultural creator should learn from its success.

　　5．A Bite of China has all the following emotional influences EXCEPT

　　.

　　A．reminding people of their memories about family

　　B．making people treasure every grain

　　C．arousing people’s patriotism towards their country

　　D．calling on people to export their culture

　　6．Which of the following statements about A Bite of China is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．It only focuses on the luxury lives of a few people in China.

　　B．It stresses the emotions of ordinary Chinese people in its shooting.

　　C．It has been considered a “weak player” on TV since it was produced.

　　D．It provides a unique view of Chinese from the perspective of humanity.

　　7．Which would be the best title for the passage?

　　A．Sincerity and Reality，Great Success

　　B．Food and Culture，Commercial Program

　　C．Techniques and Art，Huge Popularity

　　D．Patriotism and Respect，Tremendous Influence
