You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 15 Movies are the most popular form of entertainment for millions of Americans. They go to the movies to escape their normal everyday exi
14、stence and to experience a life more exciting than their own. They may choose to see a particular film because they like the actors or because they have heard the film has a good story. But the main reason why people go to the movies is to escape. Sitting in a dark theater, watching the images on th
15、e screen, they enter another world that is real to them. They become involved in the lives of the characters in the movie, and for two hours, they forget all about their own problems. They are in a dream world where things often appear to be more romantic (浪漫的 ) and beautiful than in real life. The
16、biggest “dream factories“ are in Hollywood, the capital of the film industry. Each year, Hollywood studios make hundreds of movies that are shown all over the world. American movies are popular because they tell stories and they are well-made. They provide the public with heroes who do things the av
17、erage person would like to do but often cant.

22、ctivity of the sun. The sun heats and feeds creatures and mankind. Each year it provides men with two hundred million tons of grain and nearly ten million tons of wood, coal, oil, natural gas, and all other fuels are stored energy from the sun. (80) Some was collected by this seasons plants as carbo
23、n compounds. Some was stored by plants and trees ages ago. Even waterpower derives from the sun. Water turned into vapor by the sun fails as rain. It courses down the mountains and is converted to electric power. Light transmits only the energy that comes from the suns outer layer, and much of this
24、energy that is directed towards the earth never arrives. About nine tenths of it is absorbed by the atmosphere of the earth.

A similar situation exists in America, where there are those individuals-you may be one of them-who yawn(打呵欠 ) or even frown when somebody mentions baseball. (78) Baseball to them
28、means boring hours watching grown men in funny fight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens. They tell you its a game better suited to the 19th century-slow, quiet, gentlemanly. These are the same people who love football because its a sport that glorif
29、ies “the hit“. By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still. On TV, baseball game is fractured into a dozen perspectives, replays, close ups. The geometry of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You should contemplate the game from one point as a painter does his subject
30、; you may, of course, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game affords so much space and time for involvement. The TV wont do it for you. Take, for example, the third baseman. You sit behind the third base dugout and you watch him watching home plate. His legs are apart
31、, knees flexed. His arms hang loose. He does a lot of this. The skeptic still cannot think of any other sports so still, so passive. But watch what happens every time the pitcher throws: the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or brings the glove to a point in front of him, takes a st
32、ep fight or left, backward or forward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first basemans position. Suppose the pitch is a ball. “Nothing happened,“ you say. “I could have had my eyes closed.“ The innocent must play the game. And this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual th
33、an listening to music is. Watch the third baseman. (79) Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the speed of the bat the sound of horsehide on wood. If football is a symphony of movement and theatre, baseball is chamber music, a s
34、pacious interlocking of notes, chores and responses. 26 The passage is mainly concerned with _ . （ A） the different tastes of people for sports （ B） the different characteristics of sports （ C） the attraction of football （ D） the attraction of baseball 27 Those who dont like baseball may complain th
