Moutai Thanks the Hit Movie

Wolf Warrior Ⅱ for Free Advertising

Chinese box office hit Wolf Warrior Ⅱ has received a thank­you letter from  the  president  of  China  Kweichow  Moutai (Group) Distillery Co., Ltd, the country's most famous brand of liquor, because of the scenes where the hero drank Moutai  liquor in the movie.

The movie, which premiered (首映) on July 27,2017, tells the  story of a former Chinese People's Liberation Army soldier protecting Chinese citizens and local factory workers in an African war zone.

The patriotic (爱国的) emotions have proven popular with  audiences. By the end of September, Wolf Warrior Ⅱ had earned more than 5.6 billion yuan, breaking China's all­time box office record, set last year by Hong Kong comedy The Mermaid. Wu Jing, 43, both starred in and directed Wolf Warrior Ⅱ， whose prequel (前传) earned 525 million yuan in 2015.

On August  7,  Yuan  Renguo,  president  of Kweichow Moutai, congratulated Wu Jing on his success in an open letter on the company's website. “The movie has hit a new record and become a phenomenon，”  Yuan wrote.  “The movie is now synonymous (相同的) with patriotism. Your free advertising of Moutai in the movie has once more allowed this famous Chinese brand to impress the world.”

Yuan also added that the company had organized screenings of the film for its more than 30,000 employees, which improved their feelings of nationalism and  “company  cohesion (凝聚力)”．

Many moviegoers also said they were impressed by the patriotic plot of Wolf Warrior Ⅱ. Tong Yemeng, a 32­year­old office worker from Beijing, told Sixth Tone that she watched the film because of positive reviews from her colleagues and on the social media. “I felt so moved and proud of my country when I saw Wu Jing waving the national flag in the war zone，”  she said. “It showed our increasing national power.”

第二节  语法填空

阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写 1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

Whales use sound to get information around them. By constantly ___5___ (send) out sounds that hit underwater objects and come back, whales receive information. This way of using sound is called sonar. Recently, scientists have found that whales ___6___ (harm) by the powerful sonar coming from ships. This problem is being studied, and people’s level of awareness of the problem is ___7___ (high) than ever before. Now ships around the world are trying to be more careful when using sonar.

【答案】5. sending    6. are harmed/are being harmed    7. higher

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。讲述了由于船只强大声呐的干扰，鲸鱼受到了伤害。人类正在提升意识，尽量避免这一事件的发生。

【5题详解】

考查非谓语动词。句意：通过不断发出声音，撞击水下物体，然后返回，鲸鱼可以接收到信息。by为介词，意思为“通过”，后面应接动名词形式。故填sending。

【6题详解】

考查一般现在时（现在进行时）的被动语态。句意：最近，科学家们发现鲸鱼（正）受到来自船只的强大声纳的伤害。本句是that引导的宾语从句，空格处为宾语从句的谓语部分，根据by“被”可推测，句子为被动语态。根据语境可知，此处可以表示“鲸鱼被船只的声呐伤害”这件事，也可以强调这件事正在发生，因此，时态可以是一般现在时或者现在进行时。主语whales为复数，故填are harmed或are being harmed

【7题详解】

考查形容词比较级。句意：这一问题正在得到研究，人们对这一问题的认识程度比以往任何时候都高。根据than可知，句子为比较级句型，放在is后面为形容词比较级，故填higher。

第三节  阅读回答问题

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。

Food as Communication

We usually understand when someone speaks or writes to us, and many gestures (手势) and facial expressions have meaning, too. But have you ever considered what and how we eat as a form of communication? In many cultures, people sit together and share food at mealtimes, which is a common tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also play an important role in a family or culture’s celebrations. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between areas within one country.

In most cultures, bread represents delicious food. It is also one of the most commonly shared foods in the world. Sharing bread is a common symbol of companionship and togetherness. In fact, the word companion comes from the Latin roots com- (together) and panis (bread). Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with decorated cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread.

There are foods like bread in other cultures. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is baked into the cake, which stands for success in the New Year for the person who receives it. Most of the foods eaten during the Chinese New Year have significance. Sometimes this is based on their shape; for example, long noodles symbolize long life. The symbolism can also be based on the sound of the word in Chinese; for example, people give out oranges because the word for “orange” sounds like the word for “wealth”. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to symbolize family unity.

Food is essential for life, so it is not surprising that it is such an important part of different cultures around the world. The food people eat during celebrations may have a long history and can symbolize many things, but sharing food is one custom that almost all humans have in common.

8. Why does the author regard eating food as a form of communication?

     ①       

9. How do people celebrate birthdays and marriages in many cultures?

     ②        

10. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 3?

      ③         

11. Many of the food traditions mentioned in the passage are very old. Why are they still important today?

     ④

【答案】8. When eating food, people sit together and share food with each other, which promotes unity and trust.   

9. In many cultures, people cut and share decorated cakes for birthday and marriage celebrations.   

10. People have different foods to symbolise goodwill in different cultures.   

11. These food traditions have a long history. They usually represent good meanings. For example, round foods symbolize family unity; a cake with a coin stands for success. People believe that these customs will bring good luck, and they pass them down from one generation to another, forming their unique cultures. That is the reason why many of them are still important today.

【解析】

【分析】

本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍食物可以作为一种文化进行交流。

【8题详解】

细节理解题。由第一段的句子“ In many cultures, people sit together and share food at mealtimes, which is a common tradition that can promote unity and trust. ”（在许多文化中，人们在进餐时坐在一起分享食物，这是一个可以促进团结和信任的共同传统）可知，很多文化中，分享食物可以促进团结和信任。所以填：When eating food, people sit            together and share food with each other, which promotes unity and trust.

【9题详解】

细节理解题。由第二段的句子“Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with decorated cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. ”（许多文化也用装饰好的蛋糕来庆祝生日和结婚，蛋糕会被切割并在客人之间分享）可知，人们通过“切蛋糕并一同分享”来庆祝生日和结婚，所以填：In many cultures, people cut and share decorated            cakes for birthday and marriage celebrations.

【10题详解】

主旨大意题。由第三段第一句话“There are foods like bread in other cultures. ”（在其他文化中也有像面包这样的食物）可知，本段主要还是说明食物被赋予了文化性，本段中通过举例说明食物象征着“成功、财富和家庭团结等”美好愿望。所以填：People have different foods to symbolise goodwill in different cultures.

【11题详解】

推理判断题。由文章最后一句话“ The food people eat during celebrations may have a long history and can symbolize many things, but sharing food is one custom that almost all humans have in common. ”（人们在庆祝活动中吃的食物可能有着悠久的历史，象征着很多东西，但分享食物是几乎所有人类的共同习俗。）可知，虽然历史悠久，但有很多象征意义，人们相信这些习俗能够带来好运（可以举一个例子），所以代代相传。所以填：These            food traditions have a long history. They usually represent good meanings. For example, round foods symbolize family unity; a cake with a coin stands for success. People believe that these customs will bring good luck, and they pass them down            from one generation to another, forming their unique cultures. That is the reason why many of them are still important today.
