China has become an increasingly appealing market for Hollywood films, so it was inevitable that Academy Award-winning director James Cameron would touch down in Beijing Wednesday to promote his latest big-budget movie, Avatar.

During his 20-hour stay in the city, he shared with local media and some lucky fans details of his new film and shared his insights on China's growing film industry.

Having toured numerous countries for the promotion of Avatar since the film globally premiered on December 10, Cameron said he anticipated the visit to China for some time and apologized for his hoarse and tired voice.

"It is so sad for a director not being able to shout," he joked at the beginning of the press conference Wednesday afternoon, announcing that the 3D science fiction film will open in China on January 4.

Cameron collected 360 million yuan (US$52.7 million) at the box office in China with his blockbuster Titanic in 1998, a record that held for ten years until it was broken by Transformers in 2008.

Considering that another computer-generated, live action flick, 2012, has sold more movie tickets in China than in the US, the director said he is positive about Avatar's performance in China.

"Our partner here, the China Film Group, has given us great confidence," he explained, saying that the number of 3D screens has grown from 500 to 600 in the past month, a never-seen-before growth in Chinese mainland.

China is second only to the US as the country with the most 3D screens. Cameron said the screening of Avatar in China has specific importance as a test of future 3D film development.

"I'm very interested in the 3D film market in China. I cannot predict the box office results here, but I look forward to the test results." 

63. Cameron is hopeful about Avatar’s performance in China because ____.

   A. Avatar is a newly-released 3D movie

   B. Transformer held the record of box office in China

   C. Avatar is directed by him alone

   D. 2012 had a higher box office in China than in the US

64. Which of the following has the closest meaning to “anticipated” in Paragraph 3?

   A. participated           B. paid                  C. expected        D. delayed

65. Why did Cameron come to China?

   A. To promote his latest film Avatar.

   B. To test the future development of 3D film in China.

   C. To show his interest in the 3D film market in China.

   D. To make a 20-hour trip in Beijing.

66. The passage is most probably taken from ____.

   A. a science book            B. a newspaper       C. a story book     D. a magazine

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的词。

注意：表格中的空格里只填入一个词。请将答案写在答题卷相应题号的横线上。

Culture means the pattern of human activity and the symbols that give importance to these activities. Culture expresses itself in terms of the art, literature, costumes, customs, language and religion. The word 'culture' comes from the Latin word which means “to teach”.

     Culture is shared, by which we mean that every culture is shared by a group of people. Depending on the areas they live in, the climatic conditions they grow up in and their history, people form a set of values and beliefs. This set of rules of life shapes their culture. No culture belongs to a single person. It is rather shared among many people of a certain part of the world.

Culture is learned. Cultural values are imparted(传授) from one generation to another, thus leading to continual traditions that are a part of culture. The language, the literature and the art forms pass across generations. No single person is born with a sense of his/her culture. He/she has to learn it.

     Gradual change is a feature(特点) of almost every culture. Culture loses some of its features and gains new ones. With the passage of time, new technologies appear, new kinds of work come up, social thinking changes and so does culture. Every culture changes in time although the rate of change of every culture differs.

     Studies have brought out a fact that no culture can remain in isolation(孤立). There is hardly any social group that is completely isolated from the rest of the world. Every culture, thus, is mostly affected by cultures of the surrounding areas. Cultural values are easy to be influenced by the values of nearby societies. The cultures, which appear during the same periods of time, often show certain similarities. Modern times have witnessed a mix of cultures. Cultures are combined together giving rise to shared cultures.
