第三部分 閱讀理解（共10小題；每小題2分，滿分20分）

A

I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time， and we were having a final test. During the test， the girl sitting next to me whispered something， but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one， so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.

Later， after the test papers had been turned in， the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed （解散）. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up； she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time， she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest， they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said， and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.

Later on， I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me， it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen， but all she could say was it seemed very very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen， I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.

56. The story took place exactly ____ .

A. in the teacher’s officeB. in an exam roomC. in the schoolD. in the language lab

57. The girl wanted to borrow a pen， because ____ .

A. she had not brought a pen with her B. she had lost her own on her way to school

C. there was something wrong with her pen D. her own had been taken away by someone

58. The teacher saw all this， so she asked the boy ____ .

A. to go on writing his paper B. to stop whispering

C. to leave the room immediately D. to stay behind after the exam

59. The thing（s） emphasized in teacher’s talk was （were） ____ .

A. honestyB. sense of duty C. seriousnessD. all of the above

60. The boy knew everything ____ .

A. the moment he was asked to stay behind B. when the teacher started talking about honesty

C. only some time later D. when he was walking out of the room

B

Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood in the United States. However， the real movie capital is Mumbai， in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay， so the film industry there is called “Bollywood”. Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year as Hollywood—more than 800 films a year.

The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing， Bollywood movies contain singing， dancing， action， adventure， mystery， and romance. Because Bollywood films contain so many different features， this style of film is sometimes called a “masala” film. （“Masala” is an Indian word for a mixture of spices.）

Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way the movies are made. It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact， filming may begin earlier in a Bollywood movie before the script （劇本） is finished. The directors and writers can make up the story while the film is being made. Sometimes they will even write the script by hand instead of taking time to type it.

Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several movies at the same time. They may even shoot scenes for several films on the same day using the same clothes and scenery. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story， shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors and directors. This also helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies lower than that of Hollywood movies. A Bollywood film， with an average budget （預算） of only two million U. S. dollars， seems very cheap compared with an average budget of sixty million U. S. dollars for a Hollywood film—thirty times as much！

61. The main topic of the passage is _______ .

A. famous stars in BollywoodB. how Hollywood movies are made

C. the differences between two movie industriesD. the history of movie-making in India

62. Which is NOT true about Mumbai？

A. It is the movie capital of India.B. Its new name is Bombay.

C. More movies are made there than in Hollywood.D. The film industry there is called “Bollywood”.

63. Why are Bollywood films often called “masala” films？

A. Because they have interesting stories.B. Because they are much longer than Hollywood films.

C. Because they show Indian culture.D. Because they mix different styles of movies.

64. Why Bollywood movies are cheap to make？

A. Because they are shorter than Hollywood films.B. Because the scripts are written by hand.

C. Because the movies do not use any special effects.D. Because most movies reuse things from other movies.

65. Which of these statements would the writer probably agree with？

A. Most Bollywood movies are very similar.B. It costs a lot of money to make a good movie.

C. Only Indian people can understand Bollywood movies.D. Hollywood movies are too violent.
