广东省仲元中学2015-2016学年高一下学期期中考试英语试题

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 has set new nationwide and global box-office records for ticket sales in its opening weekend. The final part of the Harry Potter series is creating the perfect storm of record-breaking box-office sales. Before this movie, The Dark Knight held the opening weekend record. The Dark Knight actually sold a few more tickets. But with 3D and IMAX ticketing as well as the passion of fans who have waited for a long time to see the ending of J.K. Rowling's brilliant story, the final Harry Potter movie was going to be hugely successful, no matter what.

And as if film-makers were magically able to save the best for last, critics(评论家) completely agree that The Deathly Hallows, Part 2 is the best film of the entire series and there has been little negative(负面的) to say about the performances of the film's stars. When they were 10 or 11 years old, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint have grown up on the big screen. They grew in their character as the story was told through the years.

    As the story draws to a close, the final Harry Potter film is set to break the $1 billion mark in worldwide sales. And even though the film series is finally over, J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter will live on in different forms of merchandising (附带产品), including major theme parks, action figures and almost certainly, various versions of the story.

(1)、According to the author, we know Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2________.

A、was expected to be very successful in making money B、was poorly received by most of the movie critics in the US C、is not as good as the first several Harry Potter movies D、is not as good as movie-goers expected
(2)、What is implied about the performances of the film's stars?

A、The performances are disappointing. B、The stars have done a very good job. C、The stars haven't made a breakthrough. D、The stars did much better before.
(3)、In which part of a newspaper would you most probably read this passage?

A、Entertainment. B、Education. C、Lifestyle. D、Kids.
(4)、What would be the best title for this passage?

A、The Harry Potter movies come to an end at last. B、The Last Harry Potter movie sets new box-office records. C、The Last Harry Potter movie comes in 3D and IMAX. D、The Last Harry Potter movie makes movie-goers sad.
