Ⅲ. 阅读理解
(2013·宁波模拟) The new action film Battleship got off to a solid start abroad this past weekend, reaching $58 million in 26 foreign countries. That sounds good until you compare it with the income for Titanic 3D, which has collected that much in China alone.
Indeed, the revamped(翻新)version of James Cameron’s 1997 classic Titanic posted the biggest opening of all time in China, more than the $55 million debut(首映)of Transformers: Dark of the Moon last year. The film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are the most important persons at the international box office this weekend, quickly gaining $88. 2 million from 69 foreign markets and bringing its total abroad to $146. 5 million.
Upon its show in China 14 years ago, Titanic played in only 180 theaters, compared with the 3, 500 theaters the 3D film screened in over the weekend. In six days, Titanic 3D has already made 32% more in China than the $44 million the former made during its entire run in the country.
Battleship, mean while, doesn’t hit Chinese theaters until next weekend. The Universal Pictures production is performing best in Asia, debuting with $8 million in Korea—more than action films such as Transformers or Iron Man opened to in the country.
The movie has yet to play in 24 foreign countries, including Russia, and won’t hit US theaters until May 18. Featuring “John Carter”star Taylor Kitsch as a member of a naval fleet who fights aliens at sea, it cost Universal Pictures about $210 million to produce. The movie is expected to perform far better abroad than in the US, considering its heavy use of special effects, which generally resonate(共鸣)more strongly with international audience. (280W)

我祝贺你喜得千金。

它的设计类似中国汉字“人”, 这和世博会的主题相配。

句意: 她的确自相矛盾。

她说她绝不会早结婚, 但她却这样做了。

contradict与……相矛盾, 此处did用于动词前表示强调。

It is/was. . . that强调句型
这个句型可以强调除谓语之外的任何句子成分, 被强调部分是人时, 还可以用who代替that引导从句。

It is our teacher who/that helps us make great progress.
正是我们的老师帮助我们取得了很大的进步。

强调句型与主语从句的辨别方法是: 把It is/was. . . that去掉后, 如果句子的意思及语法结构仍然成立的话, 就是强调句型。

It was in 1998 when he was in middle school that he was nearly drowned.
他在1998年还在上中学时, 差一点被淹死。

上句去掉It was . . . that后就是: In 1998 when he was in middle school he was nearly drowned. 意思及语法结构仍然成立, 所以此句是强调句型。

It was smoking that took his life away.
是吸烟要了他的命。

上句去掉It was . . . that后就是: Smoking took his life away. 意思及语法结构仍然成立, 故也是强调句型。

6.【解析】选D。

考查定语从句和强调句型。

句意: 直到妈妈答应带她去她最喜欢的肯德基, 那个被宠坏的女孩才停止哭泣。

根据句子结构可知, 第一空为非限制性定语从句, 先行词为KFC, 故排除A、C两项。

A. Exposed
B. Having exposed
C. Being exposed
