The hottest TV drama in China – “Nirvana in Fire” or “Langya Bang” has just ended. Millions of people waited every day after midnight for the latest (two) episodes. Are you one of them? What is the story about? Why the show is so popular?

“Nirvana in Fire” is based on an Internet novel by author Hai Yan, who was invited to pen the screenplay for the television adaptation. The 55-episode series, set in a fictionalized kingdom, weaves together two storylines — one about a betrayed general's revenge and the other about princes fighting for the throne.

The series was put on screen on Sep. 19th, and the number of Internet views exceeded 140 million times the next day. Only during the week of National holiday, the number increased by 1.6 billion.

It’s now the hottest Chinese TV show with a very high score of 9.3 on Douban. (The classical TV drama, Journey to the West, produced in 1986 is with the same score). Previous and recent costume dramas such as “The Journey of Flower” and “Yun Zhong Ge” only scored 6.4 and 3.5.

Drawing comparisons to “The Count of Monte Cristo”, the story revolves around a gifted young man named Lin Shu, whose father serves as a general. Already a high-ranking military officer by his teenager years, Lin Shu enjoyed a close friendship with Prince Xiao Jingyan and was even engaged to Princess Nihuang.

At age 17, however, Lin Shu’s life turned upside down when his father’s army was framed and destroyed by a foxy political rival. Lin Shu escaped death, but due to the poisoning, his body became weak and frail, and he lost his martial arts abilities. From then on, his face was pale and his fingers always ice-cold.

After twelve years, Lin Shu returned to his country’s capital with a new name, Mei Changsu, and a new identity, the leader of the Jiang Zuo Alliance. He then became the strategic adviser for his friend, Prince Jingyan, who had been exiled(流放) by the king. Despite the efforts of Prince Xiao Jingheng and the crown prince to win the throne for themselves, Mei Changsu succeeds in paving the road for his friend to take over as king, as well as the avenging the injustices dealt to his troops many years before.

1.Which of the following is true?

A. Lin Shu changed his face and name in order to take revenge.

B. Lin Shu and the crown prince were childhood friends and Lin helped him to be the king.

C. Nirvana in Fire was set in a real kingdom in history.

D. Nirvana in Fire shares the same score with Journey to the West on Douban.

2.What is the underlined word mean?

A. made a false charge　　　　 B. taken advantage of

C. defeated　　　 　　　　　　　　 D. got ride of

3.What is more likely to talk about in the following paragraph?

A. How did the prince fight for the throne?

B. Where was Nirvana in Fire shot?

C. Why did Nirvana in Fire enjoy such popularity?

D. What happened to Mei Changshu after he succeeded in taking the revenge?

When the Japanese attacked America’s ships at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, they did it secretly. The makers of the movie Pearl Harbor have behaved differently.

The noise about Pearl Harbor, made by Disney，has reached its highest point with its premiere （首次公演） before the movie opens in cinemas across the US at the start of the Memorial Day holiday weekend, a time to recall national heroes who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.

As Ben Affleck is the main star, the movie seems sure to become a success in the United States at least.

At almost three hours in length, it promises to be a good old Hollywood movie. There is a love story. Affleck and his co－star, Josh Hartnett, both fall in love with the navy nurse, Kate Beckinsale and, of course, there is much human courage and love of country.

It’s certain that Disney will be accused of “changing” history. The showing of actual events in a movie always causes arguments.

Bits of the story are deliberately not mentioned in the movie. It does not address the theory held by some historians that President Franklin Roosevelt knew about Japan’s intention to attack the ships in Pearl Harbor．It is said he did nothing, as he was aware that such a blow would allow him to take America into the Second World War.

Japan remains sensitive about being accused of wartime atrocities （暴行）. And Disney is sensitive about its business in Japan, where it has a theme park.

Not all the reviews of the movie have been full of praise. A reviewer for Newsweek, who was given an early preview, acknowledged that the 40－minute sequence （连续镜头） showing the attack itself was powerful. The attack comes quite late in the movie, however, and the reviewer was less impressed with the characters and the love story.

“Almost every line of the dialogue sounds like it comes from an old movie, ” the reviewer wrote.

1.From the passage we can infer that the Memorial Day refers to

2.From the passage we know that Ben Affleck             .

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Pearl Harbor?

4.According to the passage, what does the reviewer for Newsweek think of the movie?

5.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

When a Swedish ship that sank in 1628 was recovered from the port of Stockholm, historians and scientists were overjoyed with the chance to examine the remains of the past. The ship construction showed how ships were built and operated during the seventeenth century. In this way, artifacts, objects made by human beings, provided a picture of daily life almost 400 years ago.

Underwater archaeology-the study of ships, aircraft and human settlements that have sunk under large bodies of water-is really a product of the last 50 years. The rapid growth of this new area of study has occurred because of the invention of better diving equipment .Besides the Swedish ship wreck(残骸），underwater archaeologists have made more exciting discoveries such as the 5000-year-old boats in the Mediterranean Sea.

Underwater archaeology can provide facts about the past. In ancient ports all over the world are ships sunken in the past 6,000 years. There are also sunken settlements in seas and lakes telling of people’s way of life and their systems of trade in ancient times. Underwater archaeologists want to study these objects to add to the world's knowledge of history, but they have to fight two enemies. One enemy is treasure hunters who dive for ancient artifacts that they can sell to collectors. Once sold, these objects are lost to experts. The second enemy is dredging machines(挖掘机）often used to repair ports. These machines destroy wrecks and artifacts or bury them deeper under sand and mud. By teaching the public about the importance of underwater “museums” of the past, archaeologists are hoping to get support for laws to protect underwater treasures.

1.What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in the passage?

A.To provide background information of the topic

B.To attract readers' attention to the topic

C.To use an example to support the topic

D.To offer basic knowledge of the topic

2.The aim of underwater archaeology is to  _____.

A. exploit water bodies      B. search for underwater life

C. study underwater artifacts     D. examine underwater environment

3.Underwater archaeologists are worried because_____.

A.sea hunters have better diving equipment

C.dredging machines cause damage to the ports

D.sold artifacts can hardly be regained for research

4.What is the main purpose of the passage?

B.To discuss the scientists’ problems.

C.To explain people’s way of life in the past.

D.To describe the sunken ships.
