Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999) is often described as a perfectionist gemMS (天才) ，and is admired as one of cinema^，s greatest talents. As a director,he made only 13 feature films in a career of over 40 years,but many of them are regarded as masterpieces,and he earned nine Oscars.

Kubrick once said that a film was more like music than fiction,although all his films were adapted from novels.

He directed the Hollywood epic(史诗) Spartacus in 1960,the most expensive film of its day,and the only all-Hollywood movie he ever made. Soon after finishing this film,unhappy with the pressure of Hollywood,he moved from America to Britain.

Kubrick spent five years developing his film 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). This is probably his most famous and influential film. It was a science fiction (轰动一时的电影) which was popular with both critics and the public. Often described as a masterpiece,its special effects techniques won an Academy award and were a big influence on George Lucas when he came to make the Star Wars films. His final film was Eyes Wide Shut (1999) , starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.

The film A Clockwork Orange (1971) was withdrawn in the UK after Kubrick felt it had been misinterpreted,and it was only shown again in cinemas after his death.

He valued his privacy,and worried about safety. He certainly disliked travel after he moved to England,and he also had a well-known fear of flying. He once told a friend that he traveled to London four or five times per year,only for appointments with his dentist.

Kubrick was frequently unwilling to discuss personal matters publicly,and this gave rise to his reputation as a reclusive(隐居的) genius. This image of him was denied by his family after his death. It was often reported that Kubrick was rude and tactless to the people he worked with. For example,he had a good friendship with the actor Malcolm McDowell during the making of A Clockwork Orange. However,after the film was finished Kubrick never contacted him again.

Kubrick had little contact with the media,so few people knew what he looked like. Kubrick once told a reporter who came to his door that Stanley Kubrick wasn^，t at home.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中，选出最佳选项。

After I mastered my first (协奏曲) at age 14 ,my parents decided to get me a nice violin. I tried out dozens of instruments before I found my match: a German violin. It was beautiful,but what I liked best about it was its voice. Confident and strong,it was everything I longed to be.

I'm not sure how much that violin cost,but my parents made me promise never to let it out of my sight. They didn't understand that dragging a large violin case ran counter to my daily middle school task of being invisible (看不见的) .I was a strange,absent-minded kid. When I spoke up in class,my comments brought confused silence from teachers and wild laughter "from students. Like a deer in a wolf pack,I tried to be quiet and still.

In contrast,my new violin was aimobi shockingly loud. Together,we could drown out the rest oi my middle school orchestra — which was encouraged,since the other kids made sounds like cats 5 crying. For one glorious hour every day,I was showered with attention. Everyone wanted to hear what I had to say.

Between classes,I bent under the combined weight of my violin case and a backpack filled with books. My posture suffered ,but my confidence grew. With my violin by my side,I found my voice. More and more,I contributed to class discussions and even made a couple of friends.

Today,I'm just an amateur violinist with a regular day job. As I sit in my community orchestra,sometimes I feel jealous(嫉妒的) my fellow musicians’ instruments with their elegant voices. I may not be the best violinist around,but at least I'm still the loudest.
