2014 届高考英语二轮复习 三月精品练习阅读理解 <br />Though war is something people hate, Director Feng Xiaoning often exposes his <br />audience to it. <br />“If we don’t impress the audience, who are without the painful experience of <br />war, with the cruel injury to life and human nature war causes, how can we bring <br />them a love of peace and objection to war?” asked the director with a glance <br />in his eyes. <br />After Red River Valley and Lover’s Grief over the Yellow River, both of which <br />star Chinese model and actress Ning Jing, Feng drew a satisfactory full stop <br />to his war trilogy (三部曲) last month with Purple Sunset. <br />The film tells a story which took place in 1945, at the very moment when World <br />War II was drawing to an end. A Chinese peasant and a Soviet woman soldier flee <br />into a forest, where they seize a Japanese girl. They follow the girl in the <br />hope that she will take them out of the forest, but instead they arri ve in a <br />Japanese base. Humanity (人道主义) prevents them from killing the young, <br />innocent (无辜的) victim of Japanese militarism. This humanity, the longing for <br />peace and eagerness to survive, make the three unite. <br />“If people are touched by justice, tolerance and unselfishness, I think I have <br />achieved my goal,” Feng said. Feng admits that there are violent and bloody <br />scenes in the film, such as tanks fighting and Japanese burning Chinese people <br />alive, to show the cruelty of the war. But that’s never his personal preference, <br />he says. <br />“Everyone who has watched my films can tell how much I hate war,” he said. <br />“I wrote all the things for my war films by myself. Whenever I finished one, <br />I felt as though I had suffered great pain.” <br />Feng regards every one of his productions as an opportunity to learn about human <br />nature and humanity. In spite of violent scenes which frighten and sicken the <br />audience, a balance is sought with beautiful scenery. Just like the sno wy <br />mountains in Red River Valley and the grand plateau (高原) in Lover’s Grief <br />over the Yellow River, a beautiful vast grassland appears in this film. “I used <br />to study art, and I appreciate beautiful things,” Feng said. “I believe that <br />films should offer the audience a chance to enjoy beauty.” <br />1．Director Feng Xiaoning shot war film because _____. <br />A. he was deeply interested in such a topic <br />B. he wanted to give the audience the painful experience of war <br />C. he hoped to arouse people’s love of peace and objection to war <br />D. he dreamed of becoming a world-famous director <br />2．All of the following belong to Feng’s war trilogy except _____. <br />A.
