         ①The new film Under the Hawthorn Tree 《山楂樹之戀》directed by Zhang Yimou tells the sad story
    of the love between Jingqiu and a handsome young man named Laosan.
    Before it came out, people was
    expected to know what this "pure (純潔的) beauty"could be. ②Director ZhangYimou complained of how
    long it had taken him to find the right girl for the part of Jingqiu-an innocent (純真的)character.

        ③It was 18-year-old Zhou Dongyu who stood out from the crowd.   According to Zhang, Zhou has
    "eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside". Born to a common worker's family, ④the Shijiazhuang
    girl was in her final year of high school and working hard for a place in an art college.
         People are impressed with Zhou for a performance that they say is so clear.
         "If you have fair skin and clear eyes, as Jingqiu does, it is easy to look pure. Girls today wear so many
    accessories and make-up."said Du Yanlai, 17 of Chengdu.
         While some teenagers consider it difficult to be such a "pure" beauty, others believe that it speaks of
    something from hearts
         Mo Diya, 16, of Shenzhen thought that purity isn't a matter of physical beauty but of whether someone
    is "easygoing, honest and friendly".
         Purity is all about an innocence that shines through from inside, thinks 16-yaer-old Tan Mengxi of
    Nanjing.   
         "Being pure can be simple, not having different kinds of thoughts and being inexperienced. However, it
    doesn't mean a foolish or na?ve person. So, a person is pure in his or her nature if he or she is always active
    and able to deal with difficult matters independently. This purity doesn't pass with time," she said.
         Chen Haocheng, 16, from Shanghai, thinks that the love between Jingqiu and Laosan in the movie is also
    pure.
         "Their love is simple and can last long, without any selfish or material side," he said.

    閱讀理解。
         We often see planes speed up on the runway and take off at the airport. Can this happen on the water?
    Aircraft carriers (航空母艦) make it possible. An aircraft carrier is a type of ship that planes can fly from-and
    land on-like an airport on the sea.
          On the foggy mo/'ning of August 10, China's first aircraft carrier began its trial run at Dalian Port in
    Liaoning and returned four days later.
         The carrier was at first called the Varyag ("瓦格良"號). It was built in the former Sovriet Union (前蘇聯(lián)).
    However, the Soviets failed to complete the ship. China bought the Varyag in 1998 from Ukraine (烏克蘭) after
    the former Soviet Union collapsed (解體).
         After the first sea trial, China will go on refitting (改裝) the ship and doing test work. Building an aircraft
    carrier is hard work. There is still a lot to do, such as training pilots.
         Many people remember the aircraft carriers of World War II, a war in which big ships played an important
    role. The Japanese attacked the US Navy at Pearl Harbor (珍珠港) in 1941 by surprise with the help of an
    aircraft carrier. The Japanese also lost the Battle of Midway (中途島之戰(zhàn)) with the US in 1942 because their
    carriers were hit.
          Only nine other countries in the world have aircraft carriers. Some countries consider a Chinese aircraft
    carrier a threat. But China's Defense Ministry (國防部) spokesman Geng Yansheng said: "China always sticks
    to the road of peaceful development. The aircraft carrier is for protecting national security (安全) and doing
    more for world peace."
    1. The underlined phrase "trial run" means  _____ in Chinese.
    A. 試飛
    B. 試航
    C. 實施
    D. 實驗
    2. After the first sea trial, China will _______.
    a. refit the ship again
    b. do a lot of test work
    c. sell this aircraft carrier
    d. train some pilots
    A. abc
    B. bcd
    C. abd
    D. acd
    3. The fifth paragraph mainly tells us about _____ of aircraft carriers.
    A. the threat
    B. the history
    C. the disadvantages
    D. the importance
    4. _____ countries in the world have aircraft carriers.
    A. Ten.
    B. Nine.
    C. Six.
    D. Four.
    5. We can tell from the story that ______.
    A. China's first aircraft carrier was built in Ukraine
    B. it took six days for the carrier to finish its first trial
    C. China will use the carrier to protect national security
    D. a Chinese aircraft carrier is welcome all over the world
