【題目】The resounding film Avatar has been very popular in the UK and around the world， becoming the fastest film ever to earn 1 billion dollars(7 billion yuan) in ticket sales.

But as well as being an entertaining feast for the eyes, the sci-fi epic (敘事詩(shī))also introduces the audience to a brand new language invented especially for the film.

The movie is set in an alien planet called Pandora which is inhabited by many strange species. The most humanoid of the planet's inhabitants are the Na'vi, and it is the struggle between the Na'vi and human invader that forms the main story of the film.

The film has been released in 2D and 3D versions.

In order to add a sense of reality to his vision of an alien race the film's director James Cameron asked a professor of language from the University of Southern California to invent a language for the Na'vi.

Professor Paul Frommer worked with James Cameron for four years to build upon the original 30 words or so that the director had already come up with for the language.

According to Professor Frommer, the most important aspect of the Na'Vi language was that it could be pronounced.

"This is an alien language but obviously it has to be spoken by human actors," Professor Frommer told the BBC, "it has to be sounds that human beings are comfortable producing."

The language currently has around 1，000 words but Professor Frommer hopes to expand it in possible sequels (續(xù)集)to the film and in video games.

The professor hopes that one day his creation will have a high level of the Klingon alien language from the Star Trek films.

"There's a translation of Hamlet into Klingon," says Professor Frommer.

"If anything happened like this with Na'Vi, I'd be delighted."

【1】 The underlined word "resounding" in Paragraph 1 means ______ .

A. later B. scientific C. hit D. surprising

【2】 Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?

A. A kind of new language was invented especially for the film.

B. The film Avatar is as good a film as the Star Trek.

C. The creation in Alien Language is different from that in human beings.

D. Avatar is one of the excellent films invented by Pandora.

【3】 The most challenging part in the creation of the language is ______ .

A. that Professor Frommer needs to create 1 ,000 words for the film Avatar by himself

B. that the language is based on that of the Alien planet called Pandora

C. that James Cameron introduces a new style of language to the audience

D. that an Alien language is created to be spoken by human beings

【4】 We can infer from the passage that ______ .

A. the film Avatar has been released in 2D and 3D versions

B. the most important aspect of the Na'vi language was that it could be pronounced

C. Professor Paul Frommer believes his language creation in the film Avatar is very successful

【題目】Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place. Around 1870, it was experiencing an economic boom, and the capital, Buenos Aires, attracted many people. Farmers, as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy, came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs. These jobs didn’t pay well, and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city. As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city, the dance known as the tango (探戈舞) came into being

At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes. It was danced in the bars and streets. At that time there were many fewer women than men, so if a man didn’t want to be left out, his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women. Gradually, the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable.

In Europe at this time, strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning. The interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters. After tango dances from Argentina arrive in Europe, they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exiting dance in cafes. Though not everyone approved of the new dance, saying it was a little too shocking, the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular.

The popularity of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world. Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War I brought the tango to North America. It reached Japan in 1926, and in 2003 the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador, and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea.

【1】The origin of the tango is associated with _________.
