Ewan McGregor:
The Leading Role in the film Big Fish
Childhood
Ewan McGregor was born on March 31, 1971, in Crieff,
Scotland. Despite being born into a family of teachers, McGregor was not a very
smart student and showed an interest in acting at an early age. He caught the
acting interest from his uncle, Denis Lawson, an actor who was in the first
three Star Wars films.
Starting off
McGregor left school at 16. Later he was then accepted to
London’s Guildhall School of Music and Drama. His film debut(首次演出) was an only one-line role in Bill
Forsyth’s Being Human.
Breakthrough
In 1994 McGregor got his big break, appearing as Alex Law in the
cult-hit(风靡一时的影片) Shallow Grave. Director Danny Boyle’s
next project, Trainspotting (1996), brought McGregor major popular and critical
attention. He acted Mark Renton, which earned him the London Film Critics
Circle Award nomination(提名) for Best Breakthrough
Performance.
Star on the rise
The success of Trainspotting allowed McGregor more opportunities. His
starring role in the tragic-comic-operatic-musical(悲喜剧、歌剧兼音乐剧) Moulin Rouge(《红磨坊》) as Christian showed
the ability McGregor has in taking on any type of role and making the character
come alive in a way few actors can. McGregor’s performance gained many fans and
attention from the film world, earning a Golden Globe nomination for Best
Actor.

Imagine the amazing
life of the man who created the company which made such wonders as Toy Story,
the Lion King and Snow White. Everyone knows very well that simple but popular
line (台词), --“It’s a small
world after all.” This line was created by Walt Disney Pictures and has been
made true through the description of hundreds of world famous fairy tales and
the creation of the world famous Disneyland fun parks. For tens of years,
cartoon characters from the movies produced by Disney have been entertaining
people worldwide.
So what kind of person was this genius (天才) of
imagination—Walt Disney, the man who created the Disney Kingdom? Marc Eliot has
recently published a biography on Walt Disney and has many real life stories to
tell. The book titled Walt Disney has already been published in 18 centuries
and 16 languages. Over 450,000 copies have been sold worldwide, showing the
world’s fascination with the storyteller. “All the books that were written
about him before mine were followed with the help of the studio and his family,
so there is always one fixed view of him,” Eliot said in a recent interview. “I
took a different view. I did not get any help from anybody. I think it is good
to have a balance of viewpoints.”
64. The underlined sentence “It’s a small world after all” ____.
A. means the world is too small to live in
B. was said by Walt Disney
C. is a name of a film

film in Disneyland

a balance of viewpoints
67. We can infer from the passage that ________.

D. watching cartoon will waste you a lot of time
D
When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn’t understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.
So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.
Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional（情感的）health, and crying seems to work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.
Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we' re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.
Just as crying can be healthy, not crying — holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering — can be bad for physical health. Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural — and healthy — emotional response.
68. Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?
A. Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.
B. Because she did not love her grandmother.
C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.
D. The author doesn’t give the explanation.
69. It can be inferred from the text that ______.
A. there are two ways to keep healthy
B. crying does more good to health than laughing
C. crying and laughing play the same roles
D. emotional health has a close relationship to physical health
70. According to the author, which of the following statements is true?
A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.
B. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.
C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.
D. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.
71. What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Power of Tears B. How to Keep Healthy
C. Why We Cry D. A New Scientific Discovery
E
Road research experts, puzzled by “motorway madness”, are to make an attempt to discover why drivers continue to take deadly risks in mist and fog. Studies of motorway accidents have given us surprising fact that 98% of drivers ignore all warning of coming danger, particularly fog.
After two years of computerized research into driving and crashes, Dr Peter Lewis, a lecturer at Birmingham University Department of Transportation, says: “the positive fright of a crash appears to be the only thing that will make a driver more careful.”
His findings agree with those of experts in the Department of the Environment, who have persuaded R. John Gilbert, Minister of Transport, to give the right to the latest of a series of projects to stop the killer resulting from many crashed on motorways.
Next month, a 5000-pound American automatic speed-recording machine that photographs vehicle exceeding a set speed will be installed on a stretch of the M4 near Reading. The machine, called Orbis takes a photograph of the vehicle and its number plate, and records its speed, the time and the date. It can record up to 900 vehicles an hour in a 24-hour period.
Similar machines are used in Germany and the USA as speed traps, but Dr Gilbert is determined that Orbis will be used only for experiment by the Transport and Road Research Laboratory.
Dr Gilbert said last week, “We shall use the machine to identify drivers who drive fast in fog.” The department will then write to them and invited them to complete a questionnaire and perhaps take part in some physical tests. He added, “One of the most interesting aspects of the research so far is that some motorists can see better than others in fog.”
It is already known that the driver who can see best is not necessarily the fastest, but a well-sighted driver frequently gathers behind him a group of vehicles whose drivers are madly trying to keep his tail lights in view, despite the advice which states, “Don’t hang on to someone else’s tail light. It gives a false sense of security.”
72. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. In spite of all warnings of coming danger, many drivers keep on driving fast in fog.
B. severe punishment and a fine will stop drivers from driving fast in fog.
C. To make a driver more careful in fog a speed limit has to be set.
D. To stop traffic accident, more warnings should be given, especially in bad weather.
73. The machine Orbis can do all of the following except ______.
A. identifying drivers who drive fast in fog
B. recording the time and the date
C. recording a vehicle’s speed
D. stopping a vehicle from running fast
74. Why do many drivers follow closely the vehicle whose drivers can see better?
A. They are poor sighted and cannot see clearly what lies before them.
B. They think in this way they can avoid being caught when driving fast.
C. They believe by doing so they would feel much safer.
D. They think they can avoid a false sense of security.
75. According to the passage, the driver who can see better______.
A. always drives the fastest
B. often follows the tail lights of a car before
C. always gives other drivers a false sense of security
D. often has many vehicles following him
