The film, Mr. Wong’s first English-language feature, takesplace in a postcard America of diners and red neon signs, a land ofheartbreak and second chances where folks play poker and drink whiskey and subsist on cheeseburgers, pork chops and, in at least one case, quite a bit of that pie.The pie eater is Norah Jones, the singer and songwriter, who makesher screen debut as the character, Elizabeth, a New Yorker on the reboundfrom a long relationship with an unfaithful, unseen and unnamed boyfriend. She takes refuge in a homey restaurant managed by Jeremy, where there is always a lot of blueberry pie left over at closing time.After they strike up a late-night, pastry-fueled friendship, sealed witha lovely, drowsy screen kiss, Elizabeth takes off on a journey that leads her from Memphis to Nevada, through a series of waitress jobs, slightly altered identities (she’s Lizzie in one place, Beth in another) and encounters with other lonely souls. These include an alcoholic policeman, his estranged wife and a gambler, who seems to talk a better game than she plays.Over the years Mr. Wong has acquired a passionate following — one that occasionally manifests cultlike tendencies — for his sensual visualstyle and oblique narratives of erotic longing. “My Blueberry nights”may strike his devotees, and skeptics as well, as both a notable departure and a variation on his characteristic themes. He is stillinterested in the mysterious nature of desire and the effects of timeand distance upon it. But the setting, the language and the conventions of English-language screen acting give this movie, for better or worse,a decided air of novelty.Mr. Wong’s other recent films, like “In the Mood For Love” and “2046” (both shown at previous festivals here) unfold mainly in the narrowhallways and cramped rooms of hotels and apartment buildings in crowded Asian cities, where the men dress in dark suits and the women wear flower-printed cheongsams.Those movies are dense with color and shadow. In “My BlueberryNights,” the colors are still rich and smoky, but the wider format gives the compositions a looser, more open feeling. And the characters, contemporary Americans (and one British expatriate), are correspondingly 第 5 页共 11 页relaxed, even in their moments of distress. Whereas their Asian counterparts in other Wong Kar-wai movies — Gong Li, Tony Leung show emotion through masks of mystery and Chiu-wai, Maggie Cheung —reserve, Ms. Jones and her co-stars invite and promise easy empathy.1. In paragraph 1, the sentence “the 60th Cannes Film Festivalserved itsaudiences dessert” contains which combination of rhetorical devices:(A) personification and metaphor(B) simile and metonymy(C) personification and simile(D) metaphor and euphemism2.

Using context clues, the idiom in 2 “on the rebound” could best beinterpreted as which of the following?(A) returning(B) being rejected(C) disappointed(D) recovering4.

Choose the best replacement for the word “air” in paragraph 4.(A) impression(B) characterization(C) awareness(D) imagination6. The author uses dashes (—) in paragraph 4 and 6 for which of thefollowing purposes:(A) to point out an interruption and a change of thought第 6 页共 11 页(B) to list items(C) to provide an appositive and further information for special emphasis(D) to include insignificant information7.

The tone of this passage is:(A) indifferent(B) objective(C) cynical(D) subjective(B)For the past 50 years Tiananmen Square has been the nearest thingthe Chinese Communist party has had to holy ground. It is the plaza that Mao built, famed for its rallies during the Cultural Revolution. In a sign of widening intellectual debate in China, one of the country's leading young architects has proposed a radical transformation of the square.Ma Yansong, an award-winning urban planner, says the grey concrete symbol of China's red politics should be given a green makeover. Toheighten awareness about the environment, he believes the Beijing square第 7 页共 11 页should be transformed into a park and forest. In his model, the vast expanse of paving slabs outside the Forbidden City is replaced by trees and grass. There are lush thickets around the mausoleum containing Mao Zedong's embalmed body and a verdant entrance to the Great Hall of the People."We want to transform this empty political square into somethingthat can be enjoyed," Mr. Ma said. "Our aim is to propose not to criticize, to raise the issue of public space. The way we do our architecture is to show that we can come up with our own solutions."Mr. Ma, who completed an apprenticeship in London under the prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid, is one of the boldest and least orthodox within China's architectural community. His firm, MAD, has offices in Beijing and Dubai, is working on five big projects in China, and is behind a curvaceous 50-storey tower arising in Ontario, Canada.The architect believes Tiananmen Square need not be considered sacrosanct, because its origins are relatively recent and foreign. The plaza was created after Mao Zedong's Communists came to power in 1949. Copying Red Square in Moscow, it was designed for military parades and giant public rallies. But this function is, he says, outdated. "Tiananmen is ... the physical centre but not the real centre. NoBeijing people go there," he said. "The question we posed ourselves was:how to make the area more enjoyable if we no longer need it for its historical functions?"However, his plan for Tiananmen is controversial. “Tiananmen Square is a sensitive topic," Mr. Ma said. "The idea of turning the plaza into a forest makes many people feel uncomfortable."As the city gears up for the 2008 Olympics, Beijing is becoming a showroom for the world's leading architects. Paul Andreu, from France, helped lay the giant egg-shaped national theatre, while the UK architect Norman Foster designed the dragon-inspired airport terminal, which will be the world's largest when it opens next year. Yet despite the new national stadium - known as the bird's nest - and the giant egg theatre, the pastoraltheme does not extend much beyond the shapes and names of all the new steel and concrete designs. The city's suburbs are eating up farmland assprawl continues.With urban development twisting out of the grasp of planners and regulators, Mr. Ma argues that a green Tiananmen could indicate changing priorities. "I read that Beijing has 2.8% of green space, including the lakes. It was much better in the past. It is very bad now."第 8 页共 11 页11. The architect, Ma Yansong, suggests _________.(A) that Tiananmen Square be painted green.(B) that Tiananmen Square should be changed into a park.(C) that Beijing’s urban planning should be more concerned withenvironmental issues.(D) that Tiananmen Square should resemble a natural reserve. 12. Which of the following is not a reason Mr. Ma gives to support the transformation of Tiananmen?(A) The change would increase the public’s understanding of theenvironment.(B) Local residents of Beijing do not commonly visit the square.(C) The square has become obsolete.(D) The new square would attract more foreigners to the city. 13. According to the passage, which of the following is not true of Mr. Ma?(A) His firm, MAD, is working on a building project in Dubai.(B) He studied architecture in London.(C) He is considered daring and non-traditional.(D) He thinks the lack of green space in Beijing is a dire situation.14. “Green makeover” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.(A) the changing of an image that will produce more beautifulresults.(B) a restoration that will benefit the environment.(C) a reconstruction characterized by the presence of vegetation and foliage.(D) to improve the appearance by covering with grass. 15. Using context clues, what is your interpretation of the word,“sacrosanct” in paragraph 5?(A) permanent(B) sacred(C) significant(D) familiar16. “Gears up” in paragraph 7 can best be understood as _______.(A) organizes(B) changes(C) prepares(D) adjusts第 9 页共 11 页17. In paragraph 7, “Beijing is becoming a showroom for the world’slea ding architects” contains which rhetorical device?(A) Personification(B) Metaphor(C) Simile(D) Metonymy18. The word “pastoral” in paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to which ofthe following?(A) relating to the outdoors(B) rural(C) having simplicity and charm(D) relating to the country life19. In paragraph 7, “the city’s suburbs are eating up farmland” meanswhich of the following?(A) the city is growing larger(B) as the city expands, it is developing and absorbing more rural land(C) the city is devastating its environment(D) the city is consuming more natural areas20. This passage mainly addresses which of the following subjects?(A) The lack of green space in Beijing.(B) Urban planning for the 2008 Olympics(C) The historical uses for Tiananmen Square.(D) The green transformation of Tiananmen Square.VII.

(或者The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people.)10. The rebellion against a cultural dominance is still there.(Para.15)There still exists in the working people, as in the early Saxon peasants, a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class.11.

Pub Talk and the King's English 课后练习题答案(部分)Ⅱ.1.A good conversation does not really start from anywhere, and no one has any idea where it will go. A good conversation is not for making a point. Argument may often be a part of it, but the purpose of the argument is not to convince. When people become serious and talk as if they have something very important to say, when they argue to convince or to win their point, the conversation is spoiled.2. The writer likes bar conversation very much because he has spent a lot of time in pubs and is used to this kind of conversation. Bar friends are companions, not intimates. They are friends but not intimate enough to be curious about each other's private life and thoughts.3. No. Conversation does not need a focus. But when a focal subject appears in the natural flow of conversation, the conversation becomes vivid, lively and more interesting.4. The people talked about Australia because the speaker who introduced the subject mentioned incidentally that it was an Australian who had given her such a definition of "the King's English. " When the people talked about the resistance in the lower classes to any attempt by an upper class to lay down rules for "English as it should be spoken", the conversation moved to Norman England because at that time a language barrier existed between the Saxon peasants and the Norman conquerors.5. The Saxon peasants and their Norman conquerors used different words for the same thing. For examples see paragraph 9.6. “The King’s English” was regarded as a form 0f racial discrimination during the Norman rule in England about 1154—1399.7.The writer thinks “the King’s English” is a class representation of reality.1t is worth trying to speak “the King’s English”,but it should not be 1aid down as an edict,and made immune to change from below.The King’s English is a model a rich and instructive one- but it ought not to be an ultimatum.8.During the Norman period,the ruling class spoke Anglo—French while the peasants spoke their native Saxon language.Language bears the stamp of the class that uses it.The King’s English today refers to the language used by the upper,educated class in England.III.1.And conversation is an activity which is found only among human beings.2.Conversation is not for persuading others to accept our idea or point of view.3.In fact a person who really enjoys and is skilled at conversation will not argue to win or force others to accept his point of view.4.People who meet each other for a drink in the bar of a pub are not intimate friends for they are not deeply absorbed or engrossed in each other’s lives.5.The conversation could go on without anybody knowing who was right or wrong.6.These animals are called cattle when they are alive and feeding in the fields;but when we sit down at the table to eat.we call their meat beef.7.The new ruling class by using French instead of English made it difficult for the English to accept or absorb the culture of the rulers.8.The English language received proper recognition and was used by the King once more.9.The phrase,the King’s English,has always been used disrespectfully and jokingly by the lower classes. The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people.10.There still exists in the working people,as in the early Saxon peasants,a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class.11.There is always a great danger that we might forget that words are only symbols and take them for things they are supposed to represent.For example,the word “dog” is a symbol representing a kind of animal.We mustn’t regard the word “dog” as being the animal itself.IV.A.1. on the rocks:metaphor,comparing a marriage to a ship wrecked on the rocks2.get out of bed on the wrong side:be in a bad temper for the day3.on wings:metaphor,comparing conversation to a bird flying and soaring.It means the conversation soon became spirited and exciting.4.turn up one’s nose at: scorn;show scorn for5.into the shoes:metaphor,think as if one were wearing the shoes of the Saxon peasant,i.e. as if one were a Saxon peasant6. come into one’s own: receive what properly belongs to one,especially acclaim or recognition7.sit up at:(colloquial) become suddenly alert and take notice ofB.1.ignorant指缺乏知识,可以是就整体而言(如an ignorant man),也可以是就某一具体方面或问题而言(如ignorant of the reason of their quarrel对他们争吵的起因毫无所知);illiterate意为缺乏文化修养,尤指读写能力的缺乏;uneducated指没有受到正规的、系统的学校教育;unlearned意为学问不富(未必无知),既可指一无所长,又可指某一方面所知有限,如unlearned in science,意为对科学懂得有限,但对其他学科,如文学、哲学等,倒可能是很精通的。
