一、阅读理解

England is not a big country: from north to south and from east to west it is only about three hundred miles across. But for a small country it has a surprising range of climate. People who have never visited England, or who have visited only one part of it, often make the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country. Except for the summer months of June to September; this is probably true of the North of England and the Midland. In the south, however, the climate is much more pleasant. One result is that when people retire form a job in the north, they often prefer to move down to the milder south.

Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the south-west, which consists of the countries of Devon and Cornwall. The warm Gulf Stream flows across the North Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico and makes the coastal regions of the south-west quite warm. Palm trees, bamboo and many semi-tropical plants grow well in the south-west of England. Flowers and vegetables ripen as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere. Farmers in the area obtain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because they are ready earlier. In winter there may be probably no snow at all in the south-west. This may be one of the reasons why the south-west is one of England's most popular holiday areas.

1.The distance from the center of England to the south coast is about ______.

A.one hundred miles

C.one hundred and fifty miles

D.six hundred miles

B.farmers in the south-west grow as many vegetables and flowers as farmers elsewhere

C.people in the south-west have to pay a higher price for vegetables and flowers

D.vegetables in Cornwall ripen as much as a month earlier than flowers

4.In the north of England and the Midland, ______.

A.it is cold and wet all the year round

B.the climate is pleasant as a whole

C.it is warm most of the time in a year

Hollywood no longer rules South Korean cinema, which is breaking out all over. Since 1999 Seoul filmmakers have been turning out Asia’s first critically applauded films, and “My Wife Is a Gangster” and “Phone”are the most stunningly good examples. In the way Americans tour Hollywood, Asians visit Korea to see sites featured in their favorite movies.

Korea once looked to America for idea, but now the reverse is true. Hollywood is snapping up remake rights to dozens of Korean films. Madonna’s Maverick Films is remaking the horror film “Phone”. And DreamWorks recently bought the rights to another horror film “A Tale of Two Sisters.”To capitalize on all the attention, South Korea has moved aggressively to cast itself as the center of Asia’s film market.

The Seoul government and industry leaders are working to rank the Pusan Film Festival as Cannes（戛纳）East, the festivals where deals get done, a one-stop place where moviemakers can shop for financing, exports, even location. In preparation for the next Pusan Festival this fall, delegations from Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan and all over Asia have been flocking to Seoul to study the Korean film revival. “We look at Korea with an envious eye,”says one of Hong Kong moviemakers, “Filmmakers and audiences have found a real vibes (i.e. good atmosphere) between them, like in the 1970s and ’80s in Hong Kong.”

The Korean film industry, however, is still uphill struggle on the way. The annual receipts of Korean films ($580 million) are gaining on those of Asia’s largest film industry: India ($820 million) and Japan ($1.93 billion). Yet, Seoul financial markets still tend to see movies as cultural venture, rather than a business. As a moviemaking company in Korea, yet KangJeGyu Films had to team up with another filmmaker and an auto-manufacturer in a new company in order to win a listing on the stock market last year.

Despite the restriction, Korean films are capturing a rising share of the local and even Asian markets. The lesson of the Korean revival is that money should be invested both into films and into comprehensive theaters that can sustain a film culture.
