Hollywood is part of Los Angeles, California. It used to be the historical centre of movie studios and movie stars. And the word" Hollywood" was often used as a

metonymy (借代) of American cinema. But things are different there. Hollywood isn't quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas.

Hollywood is facing big challenges(挑战)!The film industry (工业) is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. But older people mostly stay at home to watch series like Dynasty. These" soap operas(肥皂剧)", as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful houses and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged.

Though soap operas keep the film-makers of Hollywood in business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new centre, and there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realised that they don't need Hollywood any more. They use modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower costs.

But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.

42．Hollywood reminds(提醒；使想起) people of ________.

A．business B．education C．cinema D．sports

43．________ is one of the biggest new film centres in America now.  

A．New York B．Hollywood C．Florida D．Texas

A．young B．old C．famous D．middle- aged

45．The best title for this passage is"_________". 

A．Movies Loved by Americans B．Hollywood ls Facing Big Challenges

C．American New Movie Industries D．Film Industries in America

八、任务型阅读

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容补全文后表格中缺失的信息，每空不得超过三词。

Have you ever seen guides letting you get close to elephants and even offering you rides? Don't do this, we're here to explain why you should not ride an elephant.

Humans often think it's OK to have elephants under their control(控制)． Many people in Southeast Asia buy and sell elephants illegally (违法地). But elephants are wild animals. Humans shouldn't do that.

Elephants are smart. They can feel sad and happy. Wild elephants won't let humans ride on top of them. So in order to control them, humans catch baby elephants and train them in pretty bad ways. These all cause a lot of pain for their spirit and bodies.

Although elephants have large bodies, their spines(脊椎)are not strong enough to carry humans. And many of them die as a result of years of carrying humans on their backs.

Asian elephants are in danger. The United Nations says that only about 35, 000 Asian elephants are left in the wild now. Riding elephants is one of the main causes (原因)to their death.
