Part 4 Translation (10 points)
Reference:
Film is the seventh form of art following photography, architecture, literature, drama, painting and music. It depends more on sophisticated technologies than most of the other art. It is the integration of technology, commerce, entertainment and aesthetics. It closely ties up with the social and economic context. Yet in its comparatively short span, the newcomer has established itself as an energetic and powerful art form and has exerted profound influences on human life.

Film and Our Life
Movie, abounding with screenplay, cast, lighting, sound, music and special effects, is today’s most powerful visual art. It becomes a great treat to us and watching films is an indispensable part of our daily life.
There is no denying that we have experienced great changes since the emergence of films. They are playing educational, entertaining, and informative functions in our life. With affectionate scenes, romance films may show us how to please or get along with our partner or the person we love. Comedy films, which are full of humorous and hilarious scenes, can make us laugh into tears and relieve our daily stress after an exhausting day’s work. Action films often present the images of strong and nimble actors or actresses in front of the audience, and we are easily attracted by their impeccable image on the big screen. Unconsciously we will carry out regular physical exercise to keep our physics in shape as theirs. Historical films narrate the history of ancient people and their lifestyles that can serve to broaden our knowledge in a more lively and entertaining way.
With a great variety of films cinema has brought us laughter, relaxation, appreciation, inspiration, and enlightenment. The great diversity of films has also broadened our vision to new approaches of thinking and feeling; and most of all, they have enriched our lives and inspired us to pursue a better life.

Part 2 Listening Comprehension (20 points)
Section A (8 points)
Directions: In this section, you will hear two long conversations. At the end of each conversation, you will hear four questions. Both the conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).
Conversation 1
M: Hello, Welcome to the Channel 21 live broadcast. I’m Richard, the host of this program, and with me today is Cindy, my favorite actress. Today we’re going to talk about films. So, what types of films do you like, Cindy?
W: Actually, I like watching Western and documentary films in my spare time, but I love “romcoms” most. “Romcom” is an abbreviation for the words “romantic” and “comedy”. And how about you, Richard, what sort of films do you like most?
M: “Whodunit”, of course. “Whodunit” is short for “who has done it”. The point of these films is letting the audience compete for the detective and try to work out who committed the complex crime.
W: Ah…Richard, you like detective films!
M: Right, that’s the fun of the “whodunit”. Alfred Hitchcock was the master of detective films. Nobody makes better films than he did in that genre!
W: I agree with you. “Romcom” and “whodunit” are today’s film expressions we’ve talked about. And is there anything more?
M: One more. See if you can guess it: “Hello, Cindy, I’m a robot sent from 2050 to save humans!”
W: A sci-fi film! “Sci-fi” is an abbreviation for the words “science” and “fiction”. These films are often characterized by aliens, robots and creations from the future. And I think Star Wars is a classic sci-fi film and George Lucas is the master of the sci-fi films.
M: Let’s catch a film, Cindy! A romcom, a whodunit, or a sci-fi?
W: You call the shots.
Questions 36 to 39 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

Conversation 2
M: Hello I’m Robert and with me today is Jane.
W: Hi Robert.
M: Are you a film buff, Jane? A “buff” means someone who’s very interested in a specific topic and knows a lot about it.
W: I do like watching films, but I wouldn’t really say I’m a film “buff” since I just have some knowledge about it.
M: Do you know the United States National Film Registry?
W: Yes, I have some idea about it. Seventy years on the US National Film Registry has placed it on its list of historically important American films.
M: Exactly, the list has been compiled since 1989 and about 25 titles are added every year, and these films have been chosen that they are all of lasting cultural, historical and aesthetic importance.
W: Now luckily for us, since the US National Film Registry makes such classic films available in a best way. Could you tell us about your early film memory, Robert?
M: Sure, “ET” is an early film memory for me, and it was released in 1982 and added to the registry in 1994. It mainly tells a heart-warming story of friendship, an alien befriends with a young boy, and I like the film very much. Anything else on the list do you like, Jane?
W: “The Sound of Music” from 1965, which is a great musical film telling a nun that looks after a group of children in a family, and it was added to the registry in 2001. And “Bambi” an animated film, I love it so much since I have learned essential theme from it about family, friends and sadness.
M: Thanks for sharing your opinion, Jane.

We all need therapy in our lives. Movies offer that. We can find hope in love after watching the latest 44. romantic comedy. We can learn that everything is going to be okay after watching the latest dramedy.
We all need to be inspired in our lives. We are inspired by movie stories of such survival, of such 45. perseverance, of such integrity, of such overcoming all odds, etc. This even occurs with fictional stories. It doesn’t matter. Whether it’s the documentary that has us cheering and tearing in the end or a melodrama about someone overcoming a disease or some form of loss.

In its impact on millions of people all over the globe the cinema was the leading art form, entertainment medium and educative influence of the first half of the twentieth century. In 1900 there was still not a purpose-built cinema anywhere in the world. The earliest cinemas were the American nickelodeons and British penny gaffes of the 1900s – simple box-like structures equipped with a screen, a projector and a piano. By 1940, however, Britain had more than 5,000 cinemas with admissions running at 20 million a week, at a time when the total population of the country was about 50 million. Soon cinemas grew bigger and grander. They remained boxes fundamentally, but ornate Fronts were tacked on in the fairground showman tradition. In the 1950s many theatres were converted into cinemas, and the most impressive ones were specially designed. Some had stately classical or baroque facades, some were extravaganzas in Ancient Egyptian, Chinese, Indian or Moorish.
Questions 48 to 51 are based on the passage you have just heard.
48. Which of the following is true about cinema?
49. When were the majority of theatres converted into cinema?
