《百万英镑》英语读后感篇1Mark Twains short story of "one million pounds" is a very good work. The article on the "money is everything," "money is omnipotent," the idea of a satire, to expose the ugly face of capitalist society."One million pounds" is about a poor, honest man, that is, the heroine of this story has received a pair of brothers, the letter sent to him inside one million pounds. The brothers had made a bet, gambling, if a poor, honest people who come knocking on the door received the one million pounds, he will be what kind of results? Brother that he would starve to death because he could not prove that the money was his own, will be subject to other peoples doubts, and even the banks do not let him save money.His younger brother that he would lead a very good, and therefore they have the brothers of one million pounds will be loaned to check the poorest people, and spent 30 days abroad. Did not expect that during this period of time, people have the rare fortune suddenly rich, has tried to cozy up to him, from the free food, buy clothes, free accommodation, like a beggar, like to please him, and continue to improve his social status until the exception of the highest outdoor Wang Duke on! Not only that, he also has been a good wife and 30,000 pounds of bank interest, and finally from two brothers got a very good job. Lived a very,very happy life.See here, I am so envious of the "lucky" the heroine, but at the same time I would like to: people reason to curry favor with him, not just because when people value money too it? Worship of money is shameful and should not be reaping more! Money is not omnipotent, the world than money, there are many more important things … …《百万英镑》英语读后感篇2Based on Mark Twains novel, The Millionaire Pound Note takes an interesting satirical look at the hypocrisy stemming from class distinction in the England. England is a country where class and wealth are given extreme significance, especially among the rich. The film shows the hypocrisy that existed among these people, how the rich are quick to change face when in an instant they find out that youre a man of wealth and how within the next moment they revert back to their condescending selves when all wealth is lost.Interestingly, The Millionaire also briefly looks at how the English perceived Americans in that era. Rich Americans were welcomed as outsiders and the poor were quickly shunned away. The fact that hes an outsider either makes him more appealing or the complete opposite. The story sticks to the main theme by emphasizing on the hypocrisy of the upper class society but at the same time it also creates a balance that prevents the movie from being a mockery of the British society.The movie drags at some point but the love story appears at the right time and there is plenty of comedy to keep one entertained. A charming Gregory Peck totally nails the part and the luminous Jane Griffiths is a treat. Reginald Beckwith, as Pecks sidekick Rock is amusing. The ending is a little predictable butthe director does an overall good job by rounding it up and presenting his points.《百万英镑》英语读后感篇3I knew Mark Twain when i was a middle school student. In my memory, there is an article in my English textbook that written by him. At that time, I pay no attention to Mark Twain. However, i knew more about him after I learned the History and Anthology of American Literature, he appeals to me dearly and deeply. As a result, I read a part of his novels in part time. Here I will introduce Million Pounds to you. Before that, I will give some information about Mark Twain to you. And last, it comes my though.Samuel Langhorne Clemens was an American humorist, satirist, lecturer and writer, better known by the pen name Mark Twain. He was born in Florida, Missouri and brought up in Hannibal, Missouri. After his fathers death in , he was apprenticed to a printer and wrote for his brothers newspaper. He later worked as a licensed Mississippi river-boat pilot. The Civil War put an end to the steamboat traffic and Clemens moved to Virginia City, where he edited the Territorial Enterprise. On February Mark Twain was born when Clemens signed a humorous travel account with that pseudonym. He often uses exaggerated ways to show his irony.Mark Twain is most noted for his novels Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. He is also known for his quotations. During his life, Clemens became a friend to presidents, artists, leading industrialists and European royalty. For I love the One Million Pounds Note best, I would introduce it to you.Is there real free-lunch in the world? Maybe there is! And such kin d of “free lunch” strikes the poor and honest youngman Henry Adams who has surprisingly got a one-million bank note from the brothers (Roderick & Oliver).As a matter of fact, the brothers had made a bet, if a poor, honest and clever people who come knocking on the door received the one million pounds, what will be happening to his life? The elder brother think that he would starve to death because he could not prove that the money belongs to him, will be arousing others’ suspicion, and even the banks do not let him deposit the money. On the contrary, the younger brother believes that he would live in a very good life. So the brothers lend the one million pounds to Henry Adams, and spent 30 days abroad.From then on, Henry Adams becomes a bright focus of the money-priority society. Later, the lucky young man experiences two sharply different treatments in the tailor shop. In the ball, people from every social class try every chance to show their friendship and flattery to the new millionaire. Adams never has the chance to spend a penny because no one can change the million and he is soon living in a luxurious hotel suite, wearing expensive suits. No one asks him to pay bill, these are forwarded for later payment. He even gets the chance to go to the Party that held by Duke.Fortunately, Henry meets Jane Griffiths and fall in love with this beautiful woman. He also comes across his good friend. The man gives him some advice to earn money. days has passed, Henry Adams asks his girlfriend company him to meet the brothers. Out of his expectation, his girlfriend is the daughter of one of the brothers. And finally he got a very good job from the brother. And he lived a very happy life.Mark Twains short story of "one million pounds note" is a very good work. The article satires the thoughts of "money iseverything," "money is omnipotent," and expose the ugly face of capitalist society. As we all know, the root of the story was the bet of the brothers. What is the bet actually? Where does the attraction of the bank note lie in?As far as i am concerned, the One Million Pounds Note takes an interesting, satirical look at the hypocrisy stemming from class distinction in England. England is a country where class and wealth are given extreme significance, especially among the rich. The novel shows the hypocrisy that existed among these people, how the rich are quick to change face when they find out that youre a man of wealth and how within the next moment they revert back to their condescending selves when all wealth is lost.The story was based on the main theme by emphasizing on the hypocrisy of the upper class society but at the same time it also creates a balance that prevents the novel from being a mockery of the British society. The love story appears at the right time and there is plenty of comedy to keep one entertained. The ending is a little predictable but the director does an overall good job by rounding it up and presenting his points.In my heart, Herry was so luckily, not everyone can get the chance to use the million. I am so envious of the "lucky" of the heroine, but at the same time I would like to think that the reason why people carry favor with him is just that they attract too much important to money, isn’t it? Money worship is shameful and should not be reaping more! Money is not omnipotent, and in the world, there are many things that more important than money .《百万英镑》英语读后感篇4This summer, I read the million pounds this book, although I understand the money is not everything, but the money can letmany people to the rich bow, they to the pound, tried to woo the hero of the story -- Henry Adams, for the sake of this piece of the pound, from Henry arrogant suddenly transform to bow to him, this kind of behavior is very shameful.This story tells the story of the hero accidentally accidentally drifting to London, London"s two billionaire brothers made a bet. Elder brother think if you give him a $one million pounds, 30 days later he will be unable to prove that the money is his own and starved to death, and the younger brother is think he will live very well. So they gave a piece of millions of pounds to Henry, their two people to travel abroad for 30 days. Came back and told Henry that piece because millions of pounds by all people, to bring him, and almost all things are to let him free to buy. And because of this piece of pounds to improve social status, and finally arrived in addition to the royal family of the supremacy of the duke of, is married to a beautiful wife, received thirty thousand yuan bank interest. And got good jobs from brother, lived a happy life.I"ve realized people for the money, try very hard to bring one person, to the bow, and all aspects from obedience to him and arranged everything in place, just for the money. To have no money people, rude, arrogant to the rich people, honestly.It makes me feel very angry, everything should be equal, and these people have only value money, as long as the rich man will treat him very well, but have no money will be arrogant rude. Everyone is equal the reasonable use where go to? In our life, but also often have such a thing, everyone cried out, should be equal, but see the rich man, but the lack of one by one all, just want to get more money, earn a little more, I don"t think this is a very vital qi, I hope everyone can, put the correct injustices in the city!See here, I am very envious of this so lucky the hero, but I want to: people reason to please him, because it was not that people are reading too much money to it? Worship of money is shameful, and something for nothing we should not! Money is not a panacea, in the world there are many more important things than money .Mark Twain"s short story with one million pounds is a very good work. Article on the money is everything Money is omnipotent, the ideas of irony, exposed the ugly face of capitalist society.Millions of pounds refers to a poor, honest man, that is, the hero of this story has received a pair of brothers, a letter which gave him one million pounds.

百万英镑英语读后感1"Millions of pounds" is a very interesting short stories, after reading the "million pounds", I have a lot of thoughts."Millions of pounds" is primarily concerned with the two brothers made a "what happens if a poor man get millions of pounds to do" the bet. And they gave it to a poor and honest man a one million pound note.People are very surprised to the rich man, improve his position. He has a beautiful wife, living a happy life.My feeling is, the people of the past look down upon the poor, feel oneself what benefits to help the poor all have no, also for the poor is very cold. But the sight of a rich man to him very kind and enthusiasm. This is showed in the past people are money, rich people have status, respectable people. But no money, no status, others look down on them. I think this kind of situation is very bad, not only rich people can be respected, everyone has the right to get respect from others. At the same time, is also a happy thing to help the poor. When you get to the best of your ability to help the others, inside there will be a kind of unspeakable joy and happy. I think people should help the poor. In addition, I also think should not be money, judge a book by its cover. Although money is very important, but not everything!百万英镑英语读后感2My Impressions after Reading The Million Pound Note。

模范百万富翁

One morning, as he was on his way to Holland Park, where the Mertons lived, he dropped in to see a great friend of his, Alan Trevor. Trevor was a painter. Indeed, few people escape that nowadays. But he was also an artist, and artists are rather rare. Personally he was a strange rough fellow, with a freckled face and a red ragged beard. However, when he took up the brush he was a real master, and his pictures were eagerly sought after. He had been very much attracted by Hughie at first, it must be acknowledged, entirely on account of his personal charm. `The only people a painter should know,' he used to say, `are people who are bête and beautiful, people who are an artistic pleasure to look at and an intellectual repose to talk to. Men who are dandies and women who are darlings rule the world, at least they should do so.' However, after he got to know Hughie better, he liked him quite as much for his bright buoyant spirits and his generous reckless nature, and had given him the permanent entrée to his studio.

Functions of banksModern societies cannot do without banks. Banks keep, lend and issue money as well as offering many other financial services.

slumdog millionaire贫民窟的百万富翁

Accused of cheating and desperate to prove his innocence, an eighteen-year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai reflects back on his tumultuous life while competing to win 20 million rupees on India's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in Danny Boyle's inspirational drama. Jamal Malik (Dev Patel) may not have a penny to his name, but that could all change in a matter of hours. He's one question away from taking the top prize on India's most popular television game show, but as with everything else in Jamal's life, it isn't going to be easy. Arrested by police under suspicion of cheating, Jamal is interrogated by the authorities. The police simply can't believe that a common "slumdog" could possibly possess the knowledge to get this far in the game, and in order to convince them of how he gained such knowledge, Jamal begins reflecting back on his childhood. As young boys, Jamal and his older brother, Salim, lived in squalor, and lost their mother in a mob attack on Muslims. Subsequently forced to rely on their own wits to survive, the desperate siblings fell back on petty crime, eventually befriending adorable yet feisty young Latika as they sought out food and shelter on the unforgiving streets of Mumbai. Though life on the streets was never easy, Jamal's experiences ultimately instilled in him the knowledge he needed to answer the tough questions posed to him on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. And though Jamal makes a convincing case for himself, one question still remains: why would a young man with no apparent desire for wealth or fame be so determined to win big on a national game show? Of course, it won't be long until everyone finds out the answer to this burning question, because as Jamal sits down to find out whether he will be rich beyond his wildest dreams, 60 million viewers remain transfixed to their televisions eager to see if he'll correctly answer the final question. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

好书推荐：读完这108本世界名著（中英双语），让你彻底脱胎换骨

好书推荐：读完这108本世界名著（中英双语），让你彻底脱胎换骨大家都知道读书有很多好处，读到一本好书甚至可以改变我们的人生轨迹。

可是一个人到底要读多少本书才能脱胎换骨？有哪些书令人相见恨晚呢？答案就是要读世界名著！目前市面上的书籍太多，很多象我一样的人想读书，但又不知道读什么书。

很多书都是粗制滥造，写作者为了赚快钱用时不到一个月速成的，让读都根本看不下去，没有任何养份，纯属浪费大家的时间。

因此，我极力推荐大家，甚至教导自己的孩子，要多读好书，多读世界名著！因为经典名著的价值在于典范语言的熏陶,在于心灵的滋养,在于对人类精神的终极关怀。

多阅读世界名著，我个人认为至少有以下好处：1、名著通常都是经过时间岁月考验的，（村上春树不就在他的作品中提过他只看作者死了三十年以上的作品吗？）所以，在这些名著中有很多有深刻意义、经典、引起大多数人共鸣的某些东西，阅读名著，能让你在潜移默化中受到感染。

2、名著中通常有很多正面的、积极的人生态度。

现代社会不是很讲究情商在一个人的事业、情感等方面的作用吗？阅读名著能让你形成比较积极向上的人生态度，这对你的一生都会有很大的帮助。

3、通过名著，你可以了解到很多古今中外的风土人情、各类知识。

拓宽你的知识面。

（在正在进行的教育改革过程中，学生的知识面是否广泛是一个很重要的考察点，如果你能有比较广泛的知识面，那么不论对你的生活还是考试都是很有裨益的。

）4、阅读能让人在无形中受到感染，丰富人的内心，提升人的气质。

这些都是潜移默化的，也许要经过几年的时间你才会有比较明显的体会。

经典名著的价值在于典范语言的熏陶,在于心灵的滋养,在于对人类精神的终极关怀。

现在我们国家的教育也在进一步实施改革，学校为学生减负。

今年秋季开学以来，大家可以明显地感觉到孩子的家庭作业减少了很多，甚至有的低年级学生放学之后根本就没有家庭作业可做。

孩子回到家后的空余时间明显的多了很多，这个时候，我建议家长朋友应该指导自己的孩子多读书，少玩游戏。

However, becoming a millionaire requires more than just luck – it requires a strong understanding of financial principles, investment strategies, and wealth management. In this article, we will discuss the key knowledge points that millionaires possess, which have allowed them to accumulate their wealth and achieve financial success.1. Financial Literacy:Financial literacy is the foundation of wealth accumulation. It involves understanding fundamental financial concepts such as budgeting, saving, investing, and managing debt. Millionaires are well-versed in these areas and are able to make informed decisions about their money. They understand the importance of living within their means, saving a portion of their income, and creating a budget that allows them to prioritize their spending. Moreover, they are knowledgeable about the various investment options available to them, such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, and alternative investments. They understand the risks and rewards associated with each type of investment and are able to diversify their portfolio to minimize risk. Additionally, they are familiar with the tax implications of their investment decisions and seek out opportunities to minimize their tax liabilities.2. Entrepreneurship:Many millionaires have achieved their wealth through entrepreneurship. They have had the vision to identify business opportunities, the courage to take calculated risks, and the determination to see their ideas through to fruition. Being an entrepreneur requires a strong understanding of market trends, consumer behavior, and business operations. Moreover, successful entrepreneurs possess leadership skills, which enable them to build and manage high-performing teams. They understand how to motivate and inspire others, how to delegate responsibilities, and how to create a positive and productive work environment.

Investing:One of the key pillars of wealth accumulation for millionaires is investing. They understand the power of compounding interest and the importance of starting to invest early.

They are strategic in their investment decisions, conducting thorough research and due diligence before making any investment. They are also disciplined investors who stick to their long-term investment goals and do not let emotions drive their investment decisions.4. Wealth Management:In addition to accumulating wealth, millionaires understand the importance of managing and preserving their wealth. They are knowledgeable about estate planning, tax planning, and asset protection strategies. They are proactive in creating a comprehensive estate plan that reflects their wishes and minimizes any potential tax liabilities for their heirs. Moreover, millionaires are mindful of the potential risks to their wealth and take steps to protect their assets. This may involve using legal structures such as trusts and limited liability companies to shield their assets from potential creditors. They also have a thorough understanding of insurance products and take the necessary steps to protect themselves and their wealth from unforeseen events.5. Continuous Learning:Finally, millionaires understand the value of continuous learning and self-improvement. They are avid readers who seek out knowledge and information that can help them grow personally and professionally. They are open-minded and are willing to consider new ideas and perspectives, even if they challenge their existing beliefs.Moreover, millionaires are lifelong learners who actively seek out opportunities to expand their skill sets and knowledge base. This may involve taking courses, attending seminars, or seeking out mentors who can provide guidance and assistance. They understand that the world is constantly evolving, and in order to stay ahead, they must continue to learn and adapt.Conclusion:Becoming a millionaire is a goal that is attainable for those who are willing to put in the hard work, discipline, and dedication.

Unit 2 Onwards and upwards Review 单元达标检测原题版第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AMaria(1718～1799) was a famous Italian mathematician.She was described in a book as follows：“Maria was a child prodigy(神童)，but w as also shy.”She stayed at home，teaching the younger children and following her own studies.When her mother died after giving birth to twentyone children，Maria took over the running of the household.At the age of twenty she started a tenyear project，a book bringing together the work on calculus(微积分学) of Leibnitz and Newton titled Analytic Institutions.Sometimes she would have trouble with a problem，but her mind went on working even in her sleep；she would sleepwalk to her study and back to bed.In the morning，she would find the answer to the problem waiting on her desk.Her book made her famous；she was living proof of what she had argued at nine years old that women had a right to study science.But Maria had other interests in her life apart from mathematics.She had always worked with the poor people in her area，and she had asked her father for separate rooms and turned them into a private hospital.She worked at the hospital (and another) until she died at the age of eightyone.Maria wrote an important book on mathematics，as well as another unpublished book.She ran a household of over twenty people，and she worked for people who had not had her luck and opportunities.Each one of these things was remarkable，but she did them all.21．We know from the text that Maria .A．was a maths teacher when she was youngB．lived a rich life in her childhoodC．was born in a large familyD．was too shy to teach others22．It can be inferred from the text that .A．there were some good schools for children when Maria was youngB．women were not allowed to study science when Maria was a little girlC．women had equal rights to learn anything as boys didD．Maria had the ability to make enough money to bring up her brothers and sisters when her mother died 23．According to the text，Maria was so devoted to maths that she .A．forgot everything when she was studyingB．spent over ten years writing her most famous bookC．never slept while doing researchesD．would go on with her study in her dreamBMost of us are afraid to f ail.Our fear of failure isn’t surprising.From an early age，we’re surrounded by people who value perfection.Parents tell us to bring home A’s.Coaches teach us to go for the gold，not the silver or bronze(铜)．And on social media，people share only the coolest parts of their ually they keep their struggles to themselves.What’s so bad about being afraid to fail？It might seem like a “win at everything” attitude would push you to succeed.In reality，it can seriously hold you back.For example，many people get one bad grade on an algebra(代数) test and decide they’re not smart enough for math.According to experts，that’s the wrong way to think.They say failing is good for you.It teaches you to stick with a task even when it gets hard.The ability to do this is called grit(毅力)．To people with grit，failure is not a reason to give up.It’s a chance to improve.There’s one place where failure is surely valued：technology panies.To the leaders of these panies，a failed app or website isn’t a problem.It’s a chance to build something better next time.Tech leaders have even gathered for events called FailCons.At FailCons，they learn from ideas that didn’t work.“Sometimes things just don’t go as planned，” says the FailCon website.“But that doesn’t mean you should stop trying.”That message got through to a man named Evan Williams.In 2005，he developed an app called Odeo.Not many people used it.It was a big disappointment.But Williams learned from his mistakes and kept working hard.He showed grit.And a few years later，he helped create one of the biggest social media sites ever：Twitter. 24．Why are people afraid to fail according to the text?A．They believe failure is shameful.B．Failure blocks their way to success.C．They do not know how to deal with failure.D．Today’s society puts a lot of pressure for success.25．What are people with grit most likely to do when they fail?A．Seek help. B．Keep working hard.C．Accept failure. D．Try something new.26．What can we learn from the example of Evan Williams?A．Winners make it happen；losers let it happen.B．Success es to those who never give up.C．Failure is a mon thing in one’s life.D．The secret of success is not to change your goals.CWhat is success? I am not going to try to explain success.I think a precise meaning is impossible! Is it winning a Gold Medal at the Olympic Games or winning Wimbledon, or being awarded a Nobel Prize? What else? I believe personal success could be anything at all—it does not have to involve public recognition.Who is more successful?A millionaire who is unhappy, or an unnoticed person, who has led a simple, quiet, sincere and happy life? The simplest definition of success, I think, is “to set out to do something and to succeed in doing it”．The first step on the road to success starts with belief.Believe you can succeed and you will.Achieving success in whatever endeavor(努力) you choose may be the goal of life；because it gives you freedom from worry.Could that be?Success means different things to every one of us.Some people believe it is measured in financial term; others believe it is helping others rather than helping themselves.However, most people are motivated to a great extent by public recognition.How many people are really happy? How many people are really doing what they want to with their lives? Incidentally，the ability to imagine makes us different from animals.Most important of all, I believe success is a matter of personal growth.If every day you are developing or growing just a millimeter, I believe one is successful.Just being a slightly better person each day for me is success.I’ve got a very long way to go then!Finally, always remember success is a process and is not simply a matter of arriving at a destination.It’s the journey that really matters.Success is what you bee in the very difficult and dangerous journey down the river of life.27．What is personal success according to the author?A．Winning public recognition.B．Being an unhappy millionaire.C．Something impossible to define simply.D．Succeeding in doing what you want.28．Which plays an important role in your success according to the text?A．Intelligence. B．Confidence.C．Wealth. D．Kindness.29．According to the text, humans are different from animals in .A．belief B．freedomC．imagination D．success30．What can be the best title for the text?A．What Is Success?B．No True SuccessC．How to Be SuccessfulD．Success Is Reaching a Destination第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Sorrows Of The Millionaire百万富翁的悲哀

Sorrows Of The Millionaire百万富翁的悲哀The millionaire class, a small but growing one into _which any of us may be flung tomorrow by the accidents of commerce, is perhaps the most neglected in the community. As far as I know, this is the first tract that has ever been written for millionaires.In the advertisements of the manufacturers of thecountry, I find that everything is produced for the million and nothing for the millionaire. Children, boys, youth, gents, ladies, artisans, professional men, even peers, and kings, are catered for; but the millionaire's custom is evidently not worth having; there are too few of him. Whilst the poorest have their Rag Fair, a duly organized and busy market in Houndsditch, where you can buy a boot for a penny, you may search the world in vain for the market where the 50 pounds boot, the special dear line of hats at forty guineas, the cloth of gold bicycling suit, and the Cleopatra claret, four pearls to the bottle, can be purchased wholesale.Thus the unfortunate millionaire has the responsibilityof prodigious wealth without the possibility of enjoying himself more than any ordinary rich man. Indeed, in many things he cannot enjoy himself more than many poor men do, nor even so much; for a drum major is better dressed;a t rainer’s stable lad often rides a better horse; the first-class carriage is shared by office boys taking their young ladies out for the evening; everybody who goes down to Brighton for Sunday rides in the Pullman car; and of what use is it to be able to pay for apeacock's brain sandwich when there is nothing to be had but ham or beef?The injustice of this state of things has not beensufficiently considered. A man with an income of 25 pounds a year can multiply his comfort beyond all calculation by doubling his income. A man with 50 pounds a year can at least quadruple his comfort by doubling his income. Probably up to even 250 pounds a year doubled income means doubled comfort. After that the increment of com fort grows less in proportion to the increment of income until a point is reached at which the victim is satiated and even surfeited with everything that money can procure To expect him to enjoy another hundred thousand pounds because men like money, is exactly as if you were to expect a confectioner's shop-boy to enjoy two hours more work a day because boys are fond of sweets. What can the s retched millionaire do that needs a million? Does he want a fleet of yachts, a Rotten Row full of carriages, an army of servants, a whole city of town houses, or a continent for a game preserve? Can he attend more than one theatre in one evening, or wear more than one suit at a time, or digest more meals than his butler? Is it a luxury to have more money to take care of, more begging letters to read, and to be cut off from those delicious Alnaschar dreams in which the poor man, sitting down to consider what he will do in the always possible event of some unknown relative leaving him a fortune, forgets his privation.And yet there is no sympathy for this hidden sorrowof plutocracy. The poor alone are pitied. Societies spring up in all directions to relieve all sorts of comparatively happy people, from discharged prisoners in the first rapture oftheir regained liberty to children reveling in the luxury of an unlimited appetite; but no hand is stretched out to the millionaire, except to beg. In all our dealing with him lies implicit the delusion that he has nothing to complain of, and that he ought to be ashamed of rolling in wealth whilst others are starving.百万富翁是个人数虽少却在不断壮大的阶级。

2013高考英语二轮三月文章阅读(5)

2013高考英语〔三月〕二轮文章阅读〔5〕与答案影评类(1)Since the beginning of winter break, I have been committed to doing lots of the things I could not do while school was in session.One of the Oscar-nominated (提名的) movies I’ve seen this winter break is Slum-dog Millionaire. Hopefully readers will also have an opportunity to enjoy the movie the way I have halfway around the globe!Slum-dog Millionaire is about a poor boy from the slums (贫民窟), Jamal, who ends up winning the grand prize in an Indian show “Who Wants to be a Millionaire〞. The night before he answers the prize-winning question, Jamal is captured by the police and tortured (拷打). They don’t believe a slumdog like Jamal could answer seven questions correctly and possibly win 20 million rupees (卢比)! But, as the movie unfolds, Jamal reveals (透露) how he found the answers to each of the questions. Viewers also learn about Jamal’s childhood, his selfish older brother Salim, and his childhood lover, Latika.The movie’s point, however, is not just to tell a t ypical story of the underdog (弱者) who becomes a hero. The director also uses Slum-Dog Millionaire to give viewers a taste of India. The movie begins in Jamal’s childhood home in the slums of India. The place where he and his family lived reminds one of the hutongs that used to make up a large part of Old Beijing. Jamal and his brother grow and travel across India, meanwhile surviving as slum-dogs and cheaters, and India ages with them. By the time Jamal is 17 or 18, his old home has been replaced by a giant skyscraper (摩天大楼) financial center. Jamal and Salim take a moment to reminisce (回忆) about their old lives, as they stand high up in a skyscraper that is still under construction. The view from above reminded me of a similar view I had just two years ago in China: I was standing there in the living room of a family friend’s modern apartment, looking out through a window down to the shacks (简陋的房屋) below just next to the buildingcomplex. It was amazing how affluence and poverty could live so close together.So, what was most appealing about the movie to me and my Indian friends was how we could relate to the scenarios (情节) presented in the movie. More important than the plot was the window onto the social and economic situations in Asia that it provided.By Jennifer, 16, New Jersey, US1. Which of the following is TRUE about the movie?A. Jamal finally won a big prize after struggling hard to earn an honest living.B. Suspected of cheating, Jamal was arrested by the police before winning the prize.C. Jamal and his brother recalled their past standing where it used to be their home.D. Jamal remained in his childhood home in the slums before he was 17 or 18.2. Viewers can learn from the movie EXCEPT__________.A. Jamal’s childhood and his bitter experience of wandering across the country.B. The rapid social changes and economic development in India.C. The poor life of people in the slums against theprosperity of cities in Asia.D. The secret of becoming a millionaire through personal struggle.3．Why does the movie appeal to the writer?A. It’s a typical story of the underdog who becomes a hero, which the writer admires most.B. It’s an Oscar-nominated movie that helps the writer understand the nature of human.C. It has an exciting and complicated plot that attracts the writer very muchD. It reminds the writer of her experience in China and helps her know about Asian countries.4. What can we infer from the reading passage?A. The writer is now studying in a school in China.B. The movie will win the Oscar because of the social problems presented in it.C. The writer is surprised at the gap between the rich and poor in developing countries.D. The movie is only welcomed by Americans who have Indian friends.5. What is the main purpose of writing the passage?A. To introduce a movie to readers and share her views about it.B. To persuade more viewers to go to the cinema to see the movie.C. To express the writer’s enthusiasm towards Asia and its culture.D. To reveal the true social reality in the developing countries.参考答案 1---5 B D D C A*********************************************完毕(2012·银川局部重点中学联考)After finishing working at the hospital that day, I was driving home after a particularly busy night call.

Then slowly, these rocks broke up into smaller and smaller pieces. Finally stones, pebbles (砾石) and grains of sand were formed. Many sorts of plants and animals lived and died on the surface of the earth. Their remains mixed up with the stones, pebbles and formed soil. The outmost layer of the earth is soil.There are many ways in which large pieces of rock break up into smaller ones. Wind, water, heat and cold help to break up rocks. When winds blow grains of sand against a large rock for a long time, the softer layers of the rock are slowly worn away. These leave holes and cracks (裂缝) in the rock, which become bigger and finally the rock breaks up into smaller pieces.The moving water of streams and rivers also helps to break up rocks.
