continues to touch people today in their homes. Why is this film so successful? It is a combination of many
different things. Among these are many different elements. Looking at some of these elements will show how
the director and others involved were able to create an emotionally charged movie that appealed to millions.
The film uses one thematic (主题的) element called The Truth of Human Nature. The two main characters
seem to represent noble people. Most of the other characters in the film are shown as non-tolerant, rude and
cold-hearted people. The element of focusing on the two main characters" love and emotion seems symbolic
of an ideal state.
There are also social problems addressed. This is done in a few different ways. The most noticeable way
is that the lower class people remain locked in the basement as the ship goes down. Throughout Titanic, the
lighting is very important. The poor, lower class people are always shown in very warm-colored light that gives
them a sense of life and happiness. On the other hand, the rich, upper class are always shown in a flat light
portraying the feeling of hardness and coldness. By using these techniques, they show the issue of class
segregation (种族隔离), and they create stereotypes. The main characters are able to break free of these
stereotypes and be together. This is the solution to the segregation problem.
As you can see, Titanic took a lot of thinking and preparation to film in a manner that would create emotion
and bring to the surface the issues and story of the great ship.
B. a highly explosive bomb
C. something worth a lot of money
D. a touching story
is used to _____.
B. enlarge the spectacle of the film
C. criticize the reality of the society
D. emphasize the condition of the poor at that time
B. The director was determined to achieve good visual effect.
C. The social status was represented by the colour of light in the past.
D. The use of light was the main technique the director made use of.
B. Though love is the main theme of Titanic, it also reflects some social problems.
C. Because of the director"s talents, the film Titanic achieved great success.
D. In the film Titanic there are two characters altogether.
B. the leading actor and actress in Titanic
C. the main techniques used in Titanic
D. the outline of Titanic

of the days are unknown. They were certainly not created by individual people. Other days, however, especially
those celebrated in western countries, often owe their origins to a particular person. One of the most popular of
these, even though it is fairly recent, is Mother"s Day. Mothers have always been highly regarded in all cultures.
The ancient Romans had a festival known as Hilaria, during which children took presents to the temple of the
"Mother of the Gods". The Christian Church adopted this idea and called it Mothering Sunday. However, over
the years this custom was gradually forgotten and almost disappeared by the end of the 19th century.
Born in 1864 in Virginia, USA, Anna Jarvis was a school teacher and believed children should show gratitude
to their mothers for all their love and care. Encouraged by a friend, she wrote to thousands of important people-
politicians, churchmen, doctors, city officials-and asked them to support her idea: a special day of the year for
thanking mothers.
In 1910 the Governor of West Virginia introduced Mother"s Day into the state. The date chosen was May
10-the second Sunday in May, which is still observed in America today. This date was chosen because May 10
was the date on which in 1908 Anna Jarvis"s mother had died. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson made May
10 the official date for Mother"s Day throughout the United States.
Soon there was a Mother"s Day International Association and the custom began to be adopted in many
countries of the world.
Anna Jarvis, a sad and disillusioned woman, died in 1948. The custom she had worked so hard to establish
and which had become almost universal had lost its original purpose. It had been taken over by business. As
with Christmas, the giving of presents and the sending of cards had become a multi-million-dollar industry.
B. the origin of a special day for mothers
C. President Wilson and Anna Jarvis
D. how people celebrate Mother"s Day
B. America
C. China
D. the Christian Church
B. introduce a celebration for mothers
C. meet thousands of important people
D. make her pupils celebrate her on Mother"s Day
B. it was the second Sunday in May in 1910
C. President Wilson liked the date
D. this was the date that Anna Jarvis"s mother died
B. she had never been a mother herself
C. people were too interested in making it a business
D. no one gave any presents or cards to their mothers

Culture consists of all shaped products of human society. This means not only such materials things as
cities, organizations and schools, but also non-material things such as ideas, customs, family patterns, and
languages. Putting it simply, culture refers to the entire way of life of a society, "the ways of people".
2.______
Language is a part of culture and plays a very important role in it. Some social scientists consider it the
keystone of culture. Without language, the maintaining of culture would not be possible. On the other hand,
language is shaped and influenced by culture. In broadest scene, language is the symbolic representation of
a people and it comprises their historical and cultural backgrounds as well as their approach to life and their
ways of living and thinking.
3.______
We should not go further into the relationship between language and culture. What we need to be stressed
is that the two interact, and that understanding of one requires understanding of the other. Language carries
culture and culture gives language characteristics. There is no language living without culture or culture without
language.
4.______
Social scientists tell us that cultures differ from one another, that is to say, each culture is unique. As
cultures are diverse, languages are diverse. It is only natural that with differences in cultures and differences
in languages, difficulties often arise in communicating between cultures and across cultures. Thus
understanding is not always easy.
5.______
Learning a foreign language well means more than merely mastering the pronunciation, grammar, words
and idioms. It also means learning to see the world as speakers of that language see it. Learning the ways in
which their language reflects the ideas, customs and behaviors of their society, learning to understand "their
language of the mind." Learning a language, in fact, is inseparatable from learning its culture.
B. Learn its culture when learning the language.
C. The close relationship between language and culture.
D. What is culture?
E. Culture and language are interactive and unseparated.
F. The important role that language plays in culture.

their discussion. It was not until the reign (统治时期) of Naboplashar (625-605 BC) of the Neo-Babylonian
Dynasty that the Babylonian civilization reached its top honor. The ancient city of Babylon must have been
a wonder to travelers. Nebuchadnezzar II (604-562 BC), son of Naboplashar, then came to power and ruled
for 43 years. It is he who is believed to have built the legendary Hanging Gardens. The Gardens were built
to please his homesick wife. She found the dry, flat ground of Mesopotamia boring. In the place where she
grew up, there was green grass and mountainous plains. The King wanted to recreate her homeland.
A lot of people still believe in the existence of the Hanging Gardens, despite the fact that most descriptions
of the Gardens come from Greek historians while Babylonian records remain silent on the Hanging Gardens.
Even the historians who gave detailed descriptions of the Hanging Gardens never saw them.
Modern historians argue that it was Alexander"s soldiers that made up the story. When they reached the
rich land and saw Babylon, they were impressed with the beautiful scenery. When they later returned to their
poor homeland, they told about the amazing gardens in Babylon. And it was the imagination of poets and
ancient historians that mixed up all these elements to produce one of the world"s wonders.
Some of the mysteries surrounding the Hanging Gardens were not solved until the twentieth century.
Archaeologists are still struggling to gather enough evidence before reaching the final conclusions about the
location of the Gardens, their water supplying system, and their true appearance. Some recent researchers
even suggest that the Hanging Gardens were built by Senaherib who ruled 100 years earlier than
Nebuchadnezzar II did.

It can be about kings, or Chicago newsboys, or housewives. The French writer, Victor Hugo, wrote his
novel Les Miserables about a poor man who stole a loaf of bread. The American writer, Ernest Hemingway,
wrote A Farewell to Arms about a young American with the Italian Army in World War One.
A novel can tell the story of any kind of action, over any period of time. The modern Irish writer, James,
Joyce, covers less than twenty- four hours in Ulysses. Yet, Joyce takes a thousand pages to tell all that
happens from the time one man gets up in the morning until he goes to bed early the next morning. A
German writer, Herman Hesse, uses only one hundred and fifty pages in his novel Demian to cover a boy"s
life from the age of ten until he becomes a young man.
A novel does not just tell the things that people do. It also tells why they do them. The Badge of Courage,
by the American novelist, Stephen Crane, tells about a young soldier in the War between the states who runs
away the first time he is in battle. The book shows why he acted as he did. It describes his mental suffering
until he overcomes his fears. People buy novels because they enjoy reading about other people. The novel
satisfies the human desire to know and understand our fellow creatures.

to reduce traffic problems. The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people. So the officials decided
to make it possible for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day. If people had a
convenient way to get to and from work, they would live outside of the city and this would help reduce the
pressure. From these problems, the idea of the London Underground was born.
The plans for building the Underground met with several problems, but the first track was finally opened in
January,1863. A steam train pulled the cars along the first underground track which was six kilometers long.
About 30,000 people got on the subway the first day. They were treated to comfortable seats and pleasant
decorations inside the cars. However, the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels. Fans had to
be put in the tunnel later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. Even with its problems, riding the
Underground did become popular. It carried nine million riders in its first year.
Modem subways have come a long way since the early days of the London Underground.
Today there are more than one hundred underground systems around the world. Shopping malls built in
traffic stations have helped the popularity of subways. Nowadays many stations include underground
department stores, supermarkets and restaurants. Shoppers never have to go above ground!
