bMovie fans around the world gathered around their living rooms to watch The 88th Academy Awards, televised live from the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 28, 2016 beginning at 5:30 PM PT / 8:30PM ET on ABC. And, did we mention that Leonardo DiCaprio, who won his first Oscar ever for Best Actor for his role in The Revenant《荒野猎人》 after so many years of struggle? It actually happened this year.
The Revenant is a cruel tale about survival and revenge (复仇). In the 1820s, Europeans flooded into the New World in search of raw materials and precious goods, like animal fur, which disturbed North America’s ecological balance and triggered a resisting struggle among the Native Americans.
The film tells the story of Hugh Glass, a fur trapper played by Leonardo DiCaprio, who is badly injured in a violent bear attack when going hunting with his fellow trappers. He decides to take revenge on his fellows who left him for dead. Unlike his fellows, who go after economic gain by any means necessary, Glass is described as respectful to the Native Americans. He represents some of the invaders who were less greedy and inhumane.
People often say that compared with nature, man is unimportant. Yet the film describes human kind’s life force under unbearable conditions. Glass survived a frozen river, gunfire, and a bear attack. Just as the line on the movie poster says, he’s “one who has returned, as if from the dead.” At the beginning of the film, Glass says to his son, “As long as you can still grab a breath, you fight. You breathe... Keep breathing.” That’s the essence of this survival story.
25. Which of the following DOESN’T belong to the messages that the director hopes to
tell the audience?
A. Human beings ought to show their respect to the nature and live in an environmentally friendly way.
B. Man can be strong in tough environment.
C. What doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.
D. Human beings are born greedy and inhumane.
26. What does the underlined word mean in the second paragraph?
A. cause B. suffer C. meet D. bring
27. Which one of the following sayings do you believe can best describe DiCaprio’s
success in this Oscar?
A. Everybody’s business is nobody’s business.
B. Time tells everything.
C. Every cloud has a silver lining.
D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

政治经济类文章的概念:
要做好这类阅读,平时就要注意了解国内外发生的政治经济大事,掌握一定背景知识,对这类文章的叙述特点及内容安排有一定了解,还要扩展这方面的词汇。阅读这类文章,要抓住文章的核心,即文章整体和各段主要在说什么,也要注意段落之间的逻辑关系。
如何备考政治经济类阅读理解题:
【题型说明】政治经济类阅读文章是高考常选材料之一。该类文章时代气息浓郁,语言鲜活,但熟字新义词、超纲词及专业词语多,长句、难句多。政治类文章大多数是同学们感性趣的内容,读起来倒有似曾相识的感觉,经济类文章读起来就像是雾里看花,文章看完,一头雾水。再加之这类文章的命题侧重于词义猜测、推理判断和文章主旨,同学们对这类题材是望而生畏。
【备考策略】建立心理优势。针对不同体裁的文章,我们要采取相应的阅读方法和技巧。政治类文章多采用记叙文形式,我们可采取“顺读法”,以便抓关键语句,领会文章主旨;而经济类文章则多采用说明文形式,我们则可以采取“逆读法”,先读试题,再从文章中查找有用信息。若遇到的确难读的材料。千万不用着急,因为你觉得难,其他人也一定是同感。在高考前,我们就要有这种心理准备,高考试卷肯定有一、两篇难以阅读的材料。不过,我们平时可以有意识地从报刊杂志上找一些较难的阅读材料来阅读,以培养自己迎难而上的心理素质。
【答题方法】
1、寻找主干:
根据英语中五种基本句型结构,把句子中的主语、谓语、宾语、表语等主要成分找出来,其他成分如定语、状语、补语等则易于理解。找到了句子主干,句子的意思至少明白了一半。
2、剔除从句:
在一个长句中可能会出现若干个从句,在理解时,如果把各个从句剔除出来单独理解,然后把大意拼凑起来,整个长句的意思就会明白六、七分。
3、辨别分句:
一个长句如果是由几个并列、转折、递进、对比关系的分句组成,句中往往有表示这些分句关系的连接词,只要能弄清楚分句和分句之间的逻辑关系,再把各层分句的意思加以连贯,整个长句的句意基本上能跃然脑中。
4、寻找关键词:
如果一个句子看完,一点句意的感觉也没有,下下策就是抓住句中的关键词,通过关键词大体弄懂这个长句的意思。
