But this magical world —where witches (魔法师) cast spells and castles float in the sky — is brought to life by hand, Nevertheless, Hayao Miyazaki is referred to as Japan’s Walt Disney and considered by many to be the world’s greatest living animator．This month, the 72-year-old Miyazaki announced his retirement. The Japanese animator has directed 11 animated full-length films over the past four decades, including the Oscar-winning Spirited Away (《千与千寻》) and his latest release, The Wind Rises (《起风了》), which tells the life story of a man who designed Japanese World War II fighter planes．Just as The Wind Rises shows, Miyazaki is well-known for his obsession with flight, especially human flight. Other attractive aspects of Miyazaki’s films include his themes of environmental protection and the horrors of war.M iyazaki’s work is also famous for its lack of clearly defined good and evil characters. He sees the 21st century as a complex time when old standards need to be re-examined.As a storyteller, he is an inventor of fairy tales full of mystery. In the Miyazakian universe, wizards (巫师) turn into birds of prey; young girls are transformed overnight into 90-year-old women; greedy parents are changed into pigs; and shooting stars become fire demons (恶魔).People attribute Miyazaki’s success to his long pursuit of h is hand-drawn technique, although in an interview with CNN he called himself an “extinct species” in the age of digital animation.A recent television documentary on the making of The Wind Rise s showed a disappointed Miyazaki throwing a pile of drawings into the trash. He is said to have redrawn thousands of frames of the much-praised Princess Mononoke (《幽灵公主》) when they did not meet his standards.But his huge attention to detail has earned him the respect of the entire animated film world. Even John Lasseter — head of Pixar, the famous US computer animation studio —once called Miyazaki “one ofthe greatest filmmakers of our time”.【小题1】What can we know about Miyazaki’s film The Wind Rises?A．It was put on a long time ago.B．Miyaznki was once unsatisfied with some of the drawings.C．It describes environmental protection.D．It is an Oscar-winning film.【小题2】What does the underlined word “obsession” mean in paragraph 3?A．Hatred.

I was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide.As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies’ Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls’ school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys’ school.Mrs. Gutzlaff’s comp rador (买办）happened to come from myvillage and was actually my father’s friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff’s school andit was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school, It has always been a mystery to me whymy parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of atraditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinesepublic opinion, taste, and the wants of the country, than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous positionto enter the business and diplomatic world. I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs. Gutzlaff’s school. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God.【小题1】How was the author admitted to Mrs. Gutzlaff’s scho ol? A．Through his father’s request.B．Through his father’s friend’s help.C．Through his own efforts at exams.D．Through Mrs. Gutzlaff’s influence.【小题2】Why did the author’s parents put him into an English school?A．It met with Chinese public opinion.B．An English school was more influential.C．He could become a successful interpreter.D．Foreign trade with China was developing fast.【小题3】What did the author think of his parents’ decision to put him into an English school?A．It was skeptical. B．It was wonderful.C．It was thoughtful. D．It was mysterious.【小题4】What does the underlined word “sequences” in the last sentence probably mean?A．Results. B．Orders.C．Series. D．Progress.二、七选五5. 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。
