The 2016 Oscars, the 88th Academy Awards, once again thrilled people around the world, including the Chinese, who were excited about Leonardo DiCaprio winning the Best Actor Award.

But the annual carnival also put Chinese filmmakers in an awkward position, as no Chinese film makers ever pocketed a golden trophy(奖杯). The hard truth leaves people wondering when the nation, which is already the second largest film market, will earn a place in the well-known award ceremony’s spotlight.

There are good reasons to be optimistic about such an ambitious outlook.

First, China is one of the fastest growing film markets in the world, attracting abundant capital from home and abroad, which will attract more talented people to get into the industry. Latest statistics showed Chinese cinemas took a record of 6.87 billion yuan (about $ 1.05 billion) in ticket sales in February, with the monthly box office overtaking that of North America for the first time.

The achievement, which may be repeated in the future, has led to thinking that China’s annual box office could go on to surpass(超过) North America as soon as 2017. As capital rushes into the Chinese film industry, fierce competition is expected. The creativity and quality of homegrown movies, two outstanding shortcomings compared with Hollywood productions, will be improved.

Second, Chinese culture and stories have provided a rich source of inspiration for domestic(国内的) productions. For example, the most popular animations in China are the Kung Fu Panda series and Monkey King films. Once they master cutting-edge film technology and improve narration(叙述), Chinese film makers could see their potential released. Also showing promise is the younger generation of filmmakers, who are born after 1970. With more professional and international training compared with their predecessors(前辈), such as Zhang Yimou, they are equipped to make breakthroughs.

Young directors, who often travel to the United States and Europe for seminars and award ceremonies, are also more familiar with Hollywood productions. This being said, no one can predict the exact year when a homegrown film will surprise the world greatly. Patience is gold for domestic filmmakers.

1.Why do Chinese filmmakers feel awkward, according to the passage?

A. Because China has never earned any film award in the world.

B. Because Leonardo DiCaprio won the Best Actor award of the Oscar in 2016.

C. Because Chinese film makers have never won a golden trophy of the Oscar.

D. Because Chinese wonder when China will be the largest film market in the world.

2.In the author’s opinion, what are the reasons for Chinese filmmakers to win an Oscar in the future?

① China can raise capital from home and abroad.

② The creativity and quality of Chinese movies have been improved.

③ Film makers can find a rich source of inspiration from Chinese culture and stories.

④ The younger film makers, receiving international training, are more professional.

A. ①②③　　 B. ②③④

C. ①②④　　 D. ①③④

3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The record in monthly ticket sales has overtaken that of North America in the past few months.

B. Kung Fu Panda series and Monkey King films are the most popular animations in China now.

C. Zhang Yimou, who is familiar with Hollywood production, will win an award at Oscar.

D. A Chinese film is certain to surprise the world greatly in the Oscar of 2017.

4.What is the implied meaning of the underlined sentence, according to the passage?

A. Chinese filmmakers still have a long way to go.

B. Oscar awards can provide gold chances for domestic filmmakers.

C. Hollywood is a great place for filmmakers to achieve their dreams.

D. It is certain that young directors are in the gold periods of filmmaking.
