　　The Oscars, or to give them their proper name, “The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards of Merit”, are awards given to people who work in specific areas of the film industry.

　　Actors and directors, costume(服裝) designers and songwriters, make-up artists and sound engineers, among others, all have the chance to win an Oscar.

　　The awards themselves are small statuettes(小雕像), around 34 cm tall and weighing just over 3.5 kg. The golden statuettes are all the same－they show a man (with no clothes on!) holding a sword and standing on a reel of film.

　　Sadly for the winner, the statue is not solid gold, but just gold-plated. In actual value it is only worth around $ 250. However, although the statuette itself is not worth very much, winning one can be worth millions of dollars to the film studios.

　　Winning an Oscar means that the world's top filmmakers liked your work It is the best publicity any film can get. If a film can have “Academy Award Winner” under its title, many more people will go to see it.

　　The Academy was first formed in May 1927, and the awards have been given every year since then. This ceremony, when the awards are presented to the winners, is the highlight of the Hollywood calendar. It is the most glamorous(富有魅力的) and starstudded(星光燦爛的) evening of the whole year, and is shown on television in 90 countries around the world and watched by over 500 million people.

　　Everyone who is famous in the film world attends the awards ceremony. Most arrive in huge limousines, wearing wonderful clothes. The Oscar ceremony is the one night when Hollywood really is as glamorous as it appears.

　　For the first few years of the Academy, the Academy Awards themselves were simply called “The Statuettes”. There are various stories which explain why they were at last given the nickname “Oscars”. The most popular is that the Academy librarian, Margaret Herrick, exclaimed when she saw the golden statuette “He looks just like my Uncle Oscar!”, and the name stuck.

　　Whatever the reason, it is certainly easier to say “Oscar”, than to say “Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards of Merit”, so the little golden man is now on a first-name basis with everyone.

科目：高中英語 來源：新教材理念設(shè)計(jì)高中二年級(jí)英語下 題型：050

閱讀下面短文，從每小題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出一個(gè)最佳答案。

　　When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”． Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual, because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology．

　　Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic． My daughter comes home from school at 4：00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day． If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?

　　Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone． “The mobile saved my life , ” says Crystal Johnstone． She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton． Trapped inside , she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance (救護(hù)車) to her rescue．

　　Point 3 The mobile removes our secrets． It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch , Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, any how their last meeting went．

　　Point 4 The telephone separates us． Antonella Bramante in Rome says , “ We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window． It was easy to get his number． We were so near－but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”

　　Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives． Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously (同時(shí)地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does． I wouldn’t know what to talk about)． We can talk across the world． We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking． And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can use the Internet, the biggest library on the Earth．

1．What does the writer mean by saying “The telephone creates the need to communicate”?

[　　]

A．People don’t communicate without telephone．

B．People communicate because of the creating of the telephone．

C．People have communicated more since the telephone was created．

D．People communicate more because of more traffic．

2．Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?

[　　]

A．Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency．

B．Mobile phones bring convenience as well as no secret to people．

C．Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged．

D．Mobile phones encourage people to waste time in chatting．

3．Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people’s life?

a． Point 1． b． Point 2． c． Point 3． d． Point 4． e． Point 5．

[　　]

A．c, d
B．a(chǎn), a
C．a(chǎn), c
D．b, e

4．It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously

[　　]

A．on the TV screen

B．with a computer

C．on chat lines

D．by telephone

5．The best title for the passage is
