(2012年沈阳模拟) They're so young! What sets apart (区别) the new TV adaptation (改编) of the classic novel A Dream of Red Mansions is the youthfulness of the players.

The producers made a great effort to bring in young actors. Most of them were born in the late 1980s and 1990s. At the same time, a team of 20somethings was given responsibility for adapting the novel for TV screens.

It is unusual for a director to pick a group of young people with little scriptwriting (写剧本) experience to take on such a big task. Most would expect the job to be given to more seasoned (经验丰富的) writers.

“I understand why director Li Shaohong has taken this unusual approach,” writes movie critic Raymond Zhou in China Daily. “She wants the drama to resonate (共鸣) with today's young people.”

Besides giving the remake a youthful flavor, Li also wanted to go back to the original. The popular 1986 adaptation left out many important parts of the novel that were considered superstitious (迷信的) back then. For this adaptation Li wanted strict faith to A Dream of Red Mansions, to make sure young audiences will get a real sense of the novel.

However, since people know the 1986 adaptation so well, they compare the old and new shows. The costumes, makeup and scenery in new drama are controversial (被争论的). Nie Lina, 16, of Yantai No.1 High School in Shandong Province, believes it is a bad idea for actors to have such strange hairstyles. The actors remind me of Peking Opera performers, not people living in Qing Dynasty time. Li Youran, 16, of Nanjing Foreign Language School, complains the music is strange and some scenes are scary. She also believes the actors are not playing in the spirit of the characters.

But Zhou defends (捍卫) the remake as an attempt at faithful adaptation. The value of the adaptation of a novel should be judged (评价) by how faithful it is to the novel—it shouldn't be judged against another adaptation. However, Zhou also argues that a director has the right to make his or her own work of art:an artist has the right to interpret (阐释) a classic based on his or her own understanding...You may not like it, but you cannot deny (否认) him or her that right.

A.The actors are very famous.

B.The actors are very young.

E

What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is“No”. It is not a tool a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further:he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his question into a large set of ideas about how the world works.

The scientist's knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any change file scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the change in the conditions.

This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigation. Einstein's ideas are shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.

【1】“...knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone.”The author says this to show________.

A.the importance of information

B.the difference between carpenters and ordinary people

C.the difference between scientists and ordinary people

D.the importance of thinking

【2】A sound scientific theory should be one that________.

A.works under one set of conditions at one time and also works under the same conditions at other times

B.leaves no room for improvement

C.does not allow any change even under different conditions

D.can be used for many purposes

【3】What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Scientists are different from the ordinary people.

B.The theory of relativity.

C.Exactness is the secret of science.

D.Exactness and way of using tools is the key to the making of a scientist.

(2012年辽宁卷,C)If Confucius(孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake,there would be a lot of candles. He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.

While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day,few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It's nothing personal. Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.

But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.

In the past two decades,the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently,the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art,history and philosophy(哲学).Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States,at the same time,are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.

So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.

Today China attracts the West more than ever,and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.

As for the old thinker,he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West,even if his birthday is.

【1】The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________.

A.provide some key facts about Confucius

C.show great respect for the ancient thinker

D.prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations

【2】We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students ________.

A.have a great interest in studying Chinese

B.take an active part in Chinese competitions

C.try to get high scores in Chinese exams

D.fight for a chance to learn Chinese

【3】What is the best title for the passage?

A.Forgotten Wisdom in America

B.Huge Fans of the Chinese Language

C.Chinese Culture for Westerners

D.Old Thinker with a Big Future

【4】The passage is likely to appear in ________.

【题目】[1] One of the tough things about being a high school student is that you never Seem to get enough sleep at night, which often leaves you nodding off during classes.The best amount of sleep is about seven and a half to eight hours.Spending either less than six or more than nine hours in sleeping puts your health at risk.

[2] A popular solution to a lack of sleep at night is to take a “power nap” during the day, but does this work?

[3] Generally speaking, it can be beneficial.Research shows that a nap in the middle of the day—even a brief one as Short as five or 10minutes—can clear your mind and leave you with increased energy and improved productivity.

[4] But here are some things you need to know to do it correctly.To start with, every time you doze off (打瞌睡) during the day does not count as a “power nap”.The best time to take a power nap is in the mid-afternoon, when your energy level tends to decrease.

[5] But how long should a power nap be? Ideally, it should be kept to between 10 and 30 minutes.Nodding off for five minutes does not really provide established sleep.If you, however, go into the deeper stage you will wake up feeling weak.

[6] However, refreshing as it might be, if you get adequate sleep at night, taking a power nap isn’t such a wise choice.The reason is that sleeping during the day can interfere with your body’s biorhythms.The brain gets used to going to bed and getting up at roughly the same time each day, and you don’t want to disturb this routine.

[7] One more thing to keep in mind is that a power nap should never be used as a replacement for a good night’s sleep.A power nap during the day is not like a tablet which will definitely work.An hour’s sleep before midnight is worth a couple of hours’ sleep after midnight.
