His silent films were greeted with great enthusiasm by critics, and, at a time of expansion and increasing excitement for the British film industry, they were evidence that British films had reached an international standard. In 1929, Hitchcock was hailed by British critics for a film which used sound and dialogue with more imagination than any Hollywood or European film of the time. And in the mid-1930s, Hitchcock's films gave energy to the film industry with their fast pace and British sense of humor. After the outbreak of the Second World War the British press said he had "gone Hollywood". Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, British critics favored realism over all else, and they looked down upon the Hollywood style that characterized much of Hitchcock's work during this time.In the 1960s and 1970s, when critics celebrated Hitchcock's films, it was mainly the Hollywood Hitchcock that theyadmired, and these (largely American and French) critics had little interest in his British films. Of course Hitchcock's public character in his later years was still very closely associated with his English background, as his appearances on the Alfred Hitchcock Presents television programs demonstrated. But his dark suits, manners, and humor seemed to be the style of a person overseas.It can be surprising, then, to discover the respect that Hitchcock enjoyed in his native country during his first dozen years as a director. When one of his films was first shown in 1926, it was declared to be a great piece of art and its director was proclaimed to be a young genius. Hitchcock was already twenty-seven years old at the time, but his rise did seem to have been remarkable.Hitchcock's start in filmsHe was born on the eastern edge of London, in Leytonstone, Essex, on 13th, August, 1899, and his family lived above a shop on Leytonstone High Road and later in the East End neighborhood of Poplar and Stepney. He left school at the age of fourteen, and worked as a clerk at the Henley Telegraph (电报) Company and took evening lessons in drawing at the University of London. In 1919, this skill enabled him to get a job as a title card designer with the American production company Famous Players-Lasky when it began making films in a converted power station in Islington.The Americans did not stay long in Islington, but Hitchcock's rise quickened when the studio was taken over by Michael Balcon's Gainsborough Pictures in 1924. Balcon allowed Hitchcock to work at different jobs for Gainsborough: as a set designer, writer, editor and as the assistant director to Graham Cutts, who was then Gainsborough's top director.The young directorIn 1925, Hitchcock was given his own assignments, as he directed two films that were filmed in Munich's Emelka Studios as part of a deal between Gainsborough and the German producer Erich Pommer. Neither film attracted much attention, and it was not until his third film, The Lodger (房客), that both the critics and the public took notice of Hitchcock. Indeed, The Lodger seemed able to please just about everyone. It had techniques informed by the international artcinema of the 1920s, a narrative form borrowed from Hollywood, and an English subject matter. It was a remarkable combination and a great example of late silent cinema. The Lodger also introduced several of Hitchcock's most enduring story elements: a hero whose virtue is in doubt, a love filled with suspicion, humor, and an interest in beautiful women. These elements would endure for many years.The Hitchcock touchDuring these early years Hitchcock was known primarily for the visual creativity of his films. The German director F.W. Murnau was a strong influence in this regard. While filming in Germany in 1924, Hitchcock visited Murnau. It was a key moment in his development as a filmmaker. Murnau's interest in an "unchained" camera and in a "pure cinema" (telling the story in visual terms alone) would be the lifelong interest of Hitchcock's too. He was also a member of the London Film Society, and its screening of French, German and Soviet art films, as well as early and pioneering American films, provided a unique forum for the consideration of film form and technique, and one that influenced Hitchcock and many otherBritish filmmakers of the time.One can further point to Hitchcock's interest in drawing as a factor that enriched and enhanced the visual dynamic (强度) of his films. In his silent films, this was so striking that critics regularly discussed "the Hitchcock touch", referring to the visually dramatic sequences that distinguished his work. Such moments might convey an amusing, dark or romantic story plot (故事情节), or they might explain the meaning of the story, but they always demonstrated the director's ability to tell the story without relying on dialogues or explanations.Britain's finestIn 1927 Hitchcock left Gainsborough for the larger British International Pictures (BIP), and his new contract made him the highest paid director in Britain. Being assigned to direct BIP's first talking film was another sign of his status, and the film proved that such regard was fully deserved. At the time, many people interested in cinema thought that the use of speech would reduce cinema to being only "pictures of people talking", but Hitchcock's inventive use of sound demonstrated that the new technology actually opened a new world ofpossibilities.Many have said that Hitchcock found his true calling with the 1930s thrillers, while for others this concentration on one type of film represented a limitation of Hitchcock's talents and interests. Either way, their popularity ensured that he was invited to Hollywood, and in 1939 he took up a contract with the producer David O. Selznick.This opportunity must have looked great. In the late 1930s, the British film industry had entered a financial crisis, and its difficulties would only become larger with the start of war. Yet it is evident that Hitchcock was eager to hold onto ties with Britain. He returned in wartime to make two short films for the Ministry of Information.In the immediate post-war period, he formed a production company that was designed to enable him to make films in Britain, and to free him from the interference of Hollywood producers such as Selznick. Of the company's two films only one was filmed in Britain, and although both are remembered for their bold experimentation with long takes and deep focus, neither was a popular success. His company soon folded, andHitchcock subsequently worked with a range of Hollywood studios.He made only two further films in Britain. The first was a thriller set in the West End theatre world that had excited him in his youth, but the film's sense of time and place was weakened by its international cast and its curiously limited use of location shooting. The second, shown in 1972, seemed to hit much closer to home and could be seen to represent a remake of The Lodger. The story was centered on a man who was wrongly believed to be a killer of women, and it was filmed with a largely British cast and in a London setting, the old Covent Garden market. This is not Hitchcock's last film, but it can be seen as a revisiting of his career's dramatic beginnings in Britain and as a homecoming for a director who found his greatest success and popularity abroad.1.Thanks to Hitchcock's early films, the British could claimtheir films were as good as others.（A）A.

The cost of helping someone with AIDS drugs is high. Pills cost a lot of money. In Africa, AIDS drugs may cost more than a person makes in one year. At the same time, some American hospitals throw away a lot of pills. One man, named Lee Wildes, didn't think this was fair, so he decided to do something about it.Wildes lives in a small apartment in San Francisco. Every month, he sends AIDS drugs, which would've been thrown away, to Africa. His act of kindness has not been noticed much in his home country. In Africa though, he is well known. Many people in Africa send him e-mails, asking him for the medicine they need.Lee was a nurse. He knows that millions of dollars worth of drugs are thrown away. Five years ago he learned he was sick with HIV. Following this discovery, he took a vacation to Africa and saw many people there with AIDS. His visit caused him to begin sending drugs to Africa.Lee talks with doctors in Africa by mail, e-mail and telephone. With their help, he has gotten the names and addresses for a hundred people in six African countries. He fills the pill orders and he records what pills he sends to them. He even returns to Africa, once a year, to see the people he's helping.Giving left over drugs away is against the law, as is giving out drugs without a license. However, it is not likely he'll be taken to court for his kindly efforts. People who have discovered his actions have not caused problems for him. They know that 25 million Africans are sick with AIDS, and they don't want to prevent him from helping.1.Why aren't more Africans taking AIDS drugs?A. They don't want to take something that was thrownB. They don't think that the drugs work.C. They can't work when taking them.D. They don't have enough money.2.What does Wildes do every month?A.

Africans need drugs.D. Hospitals are not fair.4.With whom does Wildes have phone conversations?A. A San Francisco nurse.B. 100 sick Africans.C. American doctors.D. African doctors.5.What do people think of Wildes' actions?A. They think he shouldn't break the law.B. They think he is doing good work.C. They think he will be taken to court.D. They think he is prevented from helping.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.The great river Nile (尼罗河) flows gently in its course through the hot plains in the first half of the year but later on when themelting (融化) snows and the rains on the mountains far to the south swell its tributaries (支流), the Nile overflows (泛滥). It spreads rich, muddy (泥泞的) soil from Ethiopia over its valley and forms deep stretches of green, fertile (肥沃的) lands along its banks. The settlers found that in the soft rich earth wheat and other crops could be planted, even without the use of the plough, and they began to make many settlements of farmers. In these early times they did not of course understand why the river overflowed each year. But they knew that their crops and, therefore, their lives, depended upon its magic (魔术似的) floods, and they explained the miracle as the work of gods. But there came some years when there was a "bad Nile". Sometimes the floods were not full and did not bring enough soil; the crops were poor and the people starved. At other times the waters were so great that they destroyed houses and villages, and drowned (淹死) men and beasts (牲畜). It took perhaps many centuries before the farmers learned how to control the Nile waters.Wise men among them watching the position of the stars year by year found that they could predict when the annual risingof the Nile would come. Thus they began to learn about the scientific study of the sun, earth, moon, and stars and could make a calendar of the years. They also learnt how to measure out the land so that it could be divided fairly again after the boundaries of the farms had been washed away by great floods. In this way, there came about ancient knowledge of engineering and of geometry.6.We can learn from this passage that the Nile is ______.A. always a gentle flowing riverB. hot in the first half of the year but cold later onC. likely to overflow at unknown times of the yearD. a life-giving river that makes the land rich7.The settlers began farming in the Nile valley because______.A. they discovered that their crops could grow well in theB. they did not realize that the river would overflowC. they found many settlements of farmers in the valleyD. they realized that their crops depended on the floods8.The Nile was called the "bad Nile" at times because_______.A. the floods made the river difficult to controlB. the floods could only be predicted by wise menC. the river sometimes flooded too little or too muchD. the river took the good soil away to Ethiopia9.The Egyptians of that time learned to predict the floodsby _______.A. studying the flooding of the Nile year by yearB. observing the position of the stars year by yearC. inventing some maps of the Nile floodsD. developing engineering and measuring land10.According to the passage, the ancient Egyptians ________.A. had studied the stars and made their own calendar ofB. watched the fall and rise of the Nile and learned how toC. discovered science before the peoples of other nationsD. learned a lot about geometry and spread the返回我的课程测试成绩报告单试卷标准或参考答案将在1天后显示。
