Question

Shine （1996）
  Do you have a talent you're afraid to share with the world？David Helfgott seemed meant from childhood to be"one of the truly great pianists，"but the pressures of performing （and pleasing his father） resulted in a complete breakdown．Ten years in a mental institution didn't weaken Helfgott's musical gift：When he was rediscovered，he was playing concertos in a bar．Shine received seven Oscar nominations （提名），and Geoffrey Rush won best actor for his performance of Helfgott．
Life Is Beautiful （1997）
  Nothing's more powerful than the love between a parent and a child．In this heartbreaking Italian film，a father （Roberto Benigni） makes an unbelievable sacrifice for his 4-year-old son：trapped in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945，the Jewish man convinces his boy that they are playing a complicated game．He manages to spare him the horror of the terrible war，and even in his final moments of life，keeps his son smiling and hopeful．Benigni won the best actor Oscar．

37．D 细节题．根据文章中trapped in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945，the Jewish 可知，这个父亲被困在1945年的纳粹集中营，所以故事是发生在战争期间，故答案为D．
38．B 判断推理题．根据最后一段Employed at a high school where kids are expected to fail，Escalante challenges his math students to struggle for better things受雇于一所中学，学生都是成绩不及格，可知Escalante是一名老师，故答案为B．
