“Anyone who offends China will be killed no matter how far the target is.” That is the tagline for Wolf Warriors 2, the Chinese box office hit. It sees a soldier entering into an African war-zone and saving hundreds of lives from Western bad guys. It’s basically the plot of your typical Hollywood action movie, but this time it’s a Chinese man upholding justice and keeping the world safe.
Following in the footsteps of Jackie Chan and Jet Li, martial arts expert Wu Jing is among a new generation of directors who were initially Chinese action stars. His first Wolf Warrior film came out in 2014, but it didn’t catch much attention. Mainstream movies, especially those promoting patriotism, usually don’t do very well in China. Wolf Warrior 2, however, has become a phenomenon. The massive response in China also made the film top the global box office worldwide last weekend, beating Hollywood blockbuster Dunkirk.
Many moviegoers said online that they were touched by the patriotic plot. “This movie is the best Chinese action movie,” one social media user wrote. “Shockingly good — hot blood and tough guys. I cried after watching it,” said another.
One reason for the enthusiastic response compared to the first Wolf Warrior film is its improved action scenes. Many in China have praised the film for its fighting scenes and special effects, saying they are of “Hollywood quality”. The movie, which is entirely privately funded, has also been lauded for its attention to details and features of close replicas of many of the latest weapons used by the Chinese army. Timing has also contributed to its success, with the Chinese nation in the times of a new wave of patriotism.
The film first came out just ahead of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese army, a hugely symbolic event for the country. Over the weekend, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) held a grand military parade, which presented the latest weapons of China. In a serious speech, which in parts was not different from lines from the film, President Xi Jinping promised to fight anyone who tried to tear China apart.
4. The text is meant to ________.
A. introduce a recent action movie
B. explain why Wu Jing is a successful director
C. compare Wolf Warriors 2 with Hollywood movies
D. claim that China is a super power in terms of weapons production
5. The reason why Wolf Warriors 2 becomes a box office hit is that ________.
A. it doesn’t promote patriotism
B. its combat scenes are of higher quality
C. the weapons in the movie are the most advanced
D. Wu Jing is becoming better at directing after failing his first movie
6. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. Dunkirk has attracted more audiences compared to Wolf Warriors 2.
B. Social media users think highly of Wu Jing’s acting skills.
C. In the past, movies about patriotism often appeal to the public.
D. Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Wu Jing were actors at first.
7. The word “lauded” in paragraph 4 means ________.
A. encouraged B. praised C. criticized D. awarded
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。介绍了电影《战狼2》的主题、情节、影迷的反响以及拍摄背景等等。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中““Anyone who offends China will be killed no matter how far the target is.” That is the tagline for Wolf Warriors 2, the Chinese box office hit. (“犯我中华者，虽远必诛”这是中国票房大片《战狼2》的宣传语)”结合文章介绍了电影《战狼2》的主题、情节、影迷的反响以及拍摄背景等等。可推知，这篇文章旨在介绍最近的动作电影《战狼2》。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“One reason for the enthusiastic response compared to the first Wolf Warrior film is its improved action scenes. (与第一部《战狼》相比，该片反响热烈的一个原因是动作场面的改进)”可知，《战狼2》之所以能如此卖座，是因为它的战斗场景质量更高。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Following in the footsteps of Jackie Chan and Jet Li, martial arts expert Wu Jing is among a new generation of directors who were initially Chinese action stars.(继成龙和李连杰之后，武术家吴京是新一代的中国动作明星)”可知，D选项“成龙、李连杰和吴京最初都是动作演员”正确。故选D。
【7题详解】
词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中“Timing has also contributed to its success, with the Chinese nation in the times of a new wave of patriotism.(时机也促成了它的成功，与中华民族在时代上掀起了新的爱国主义浪潮)”以及画线词后文“for its attention to details and features of close replicas of many of the latest weapons used by the Chinese army”可知，这部完全由私人出资的电影，也因其对中国军队使用的许多最新武器的近距离复制品的细节和特征的关注而受到称赞。故画线词意思是“称赞”。A. encouraged鼓励；B. praised称赞；C. criticized批评；D. awarded奖励。故选B。
C
A new batch of young women—members of the so-called Millennial (千禧的) generation — has been entering the workforce for the past decade. At the starting line of their careers, they are better educated than their mothers and grandmothers had been — or than their young male counterparts are now. But when they look ahead, they see roadblocks to their success. They believe that women are paid less than men for doing the same job. They think it’s easier for men to get top executive jobs than it is for them. And they assume that if and when they have children, it will be even harder for them to advance in their careers.
While the public sees greater workplace equality between men and women now than it did 20-30 years ago, most believe more change is needed. Among Millennial women, 75% say this country needs to continue making changes to achieve gender equality in the workplace, compared with 57% of Millennial men. Even so, relatively few young women (15%) say they have been discriminated against at work because of their gender.
As Millennial women come of age, they share many of the same views and values about work as their male counterparts. They want jobs that provide security and flexibility, and they place relatively little importance on high pay. At the same time, however, young working women are less likely than men to aim at top management jobs: 34% say they’re not interested in becoming a boss or top manager; only 24% of young men say the same. The gender gap on this question is even wider among working adults in their 30s and 40s, when many women face the trade-offs that go with work and motherhood.
These findings are based on a new Pew Research Center survey of 2,002 adults, including 810 Millennials, conducted Oct. 7-27, 2019. The survey finds that, in spite of the dramatic gains women have made in educational attainment and labor force participation in recent decades, young women view this as a man’s world — just as middle-aged and older women do.
8. What do we learn from the first paragraph about Millennial women starting their careers?
A. They can get ahead only by striving harder.
B. They expect to succeed just like Millennial men.
C. They are generally quite optimistic about their future.
D. They are better educated than males counterparts.
9. How do most Millennial women feel about their treatment in the workplace?
A. They are the target of discrimination. B. They find it satisfactory on the whole.
C. They think it needs further improving. D. They find their complaints ignored.
10. What do Millennial women value most when coming of age?
A. A sense of accomplishment. B. Job stability and flexibility.
C Rewards and promotions. D. Joy derived from work.
11. What are women in their 30s and 40s concerned about?
A. The welfare of their children. B. The narrowing of the gender gap.
C. The fulfillment of their dreams in life. D. The balance between work and family.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇调查报告。千禧一代女性开始职业生涯，她们要求在工作场所受到的待遇还需要进一步改进。尽管近几十年来，女性在受教育程度和劳动力参与率方面取得了显著进步，但千禧一代女性仍然认为这个世界是由男性主宰的。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“At the starting line of their careers, they are better educated than their mothers and grandmothers had been—or than their young male counterparts are now.(在她们职业生涯的起跑线上，她们比她们的母亲和祖母受过更好的教育，也比她们的年轻男性同行现在受的教育更好)”可知，关于千禧一代女性开始职业生涯，我们从第一段中了解到她们比同龄的男性受教育程度更高。故选D。
9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“While the public sees greater workplace equality between men and women now than it did 20-30 years ago, most believe more change is needed. (尽管公众认为，与二三十年前相比，现在的职场男女平等程度更高了，但大多数人认为，还需要更多的变革)”可知，大多数千禧一代的女性认为她们在工作场所受到的待遇还需要进一步改进。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“As Millennial women come of age, they share many of the same views and values about work as their male counterparts. They want jobs that provide security and flexibility, and they place relatively little importance on high pay.(随着千禧一代女性步入成年，她们对工作的许多观点和价值观与男性同龄人相同。他们想要有安全感和灵活性的工作，相对而言，他们不太看重高薪)”可知，千禧一代女性成年后最看重工作稳定性和灵活性。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The gender gap on this question is even wider among working adults in their 30s and 40s, when many women face the trade-offs that go with work and motherhood. (在30多岁和40多岁的成年职场人士中，这个问题上的性别差距甚至更大，因为很多女性都面临着工作和母亲身份带来的权衡)”可知，三、四十岁的女性关心工作与家庭的平衡。故选D。
