第三节：阅读理解 (共16小题；每小题1.5分，满分24分)
请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
When it comes to romance, no one does it better than the French. This is believed to be true of their movies, too. Unlike the Hollywood blockbusters(大片) you may be used to, French films are “usually a more artistic statement about being in the world”, noted The Guardian.
From Oct 8 to Oct 29, in cooperation with the French embassy(大使馆) in China, the China Film Archive and China National Film Museum are presenting classic and critically acclaimed(备受赞誉的) French movies, including Le Havre (2011), Mia et le Migou (2008), and Le Voyage dans la Lune (1902).
Sha Dan, curator(策展人) of the China Film Archive, explained to the media what to expect from the film series, and revealed how first-time viewers can best appreciate French movies.
Q: Why should I watch French movies?
A: French films have a lot of virtues. For one thing, they use dialogue and plot, instead of visual effects, to drive the story. For another, they stress diversity(多元). While Hollywood movies are often about universal values, French movies have French culture or regional cultures deeply rooted in them. You have to understand them in their cultural context. That’s what sometimes makes French movies difficult to understand.
Q: How can a Chinese audience appreciate French movies?
A: You need to get used to their way of filming. When shooting two people talking to each other, the traditional way is to film each person face-forward as they take turns speaking. However, French movies are filmed in more experimental ways, like switching from a close shot to a long shot.
Also, you should search for background information. The movie’s title and its director can reflect its ideas and storyline. For example, Les Enfants du Paradis (1945), also known as Children of Paradise, tells the story of beautiful Garance and the four men who love her in their own ways. Garance meets these men in a theater, and the “Paradis” in the movie title is an informal French name for a theater’s gallery.

56. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?
A. To recommend some classic French movies.
B. To help readers to better appreciate French movies.
C. To compare French movies with Hollywood blockbusters.
D. To describe the development and features of French movies in great detail.
57. Which of the following is a characteristic of French movies?
A. They are often about universal values.
B. They usually have really good visual effects.
C. They attach a lot of importance to French culture and French regional cultures.
D. They are sometimes hard to understand because of their complex plots.
58. Which of the following is TRUE about French movies according to the text?
A. They are mostly romances and are usually artistic.
B. They often involve more close shots than long shots.
C. They prefer to use the traditional way of shooting two people talking to each other.
D. Their titles and directors can help viewers learn background information.
B
Many of us remember being in awe(敬畏) when we saw cloned dinosaurs running wild in the film Jurassic Park. And the idea of using technology to revive(恢复) extinct species has long fascinated not only writers and directors, but scientists as well.
According to The Telegraph, woolly mammoths(长毛猛犸象), which featured in the popular Ice Age animated movie series, “may walk the earth once more” now that scientists have taken another step toward realizing a long-held dream—recreating their DNA.
Mammoths became extinct around 10,000 years ago. However, since the discovery of near-perfect preserved remai
