Question

【题目】 The majority of us have read Cinderella, the fairy tale of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams. Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone’s heart-we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity（默默无闻）.Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too. Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.

Mary is shy but loves to dance. Compared with other girls, she is invisible. However, her world changes completely when a famous teenage pop singer, Joey Parker, appears. Joey is every-thing the rest of the boys in her class are not-kind, handsome and desirable. Mary’s and Joey s paths cross at a ball. They meet and fall in love with each other. But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams. Of course, there is a wicked（邪恶的）stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies. Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn’t get into the top dance school. Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her.

The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modern-day twists to the classic fairy tale. Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful. There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies.

“The movie takes the Cinderella fairy tale as its jumping-off point,” writes Amber Wilkinson, a movie critic. “The focus is firmly on following your dreams.”

【2】B

【3】D

【4】A

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。每个人也许都有一个灰姑娘的梦想，文章介绍了一部名Another Cinderella Story的电影，讲述了电影的剧情以及与《灰姑娘》原著的比较。

【1】推理判断题。根据第一段中“Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone’s heart-we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity（默默无闻）.Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too.”可知，本段作为引出文章主题的段落，从灰姑娘的故事展开，继而将话题转向Mary的故事，也就是要介绍的这部电影，C选项“吸引读者兴趣并引出Mary的神秘梦想”符合要求。故选C项。

【2】推理判断题。根据第二段中“But when Mary has to rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams.”可知，就像灰姑娘的剧情一样，Mary匆匆离去只留下一个MP3，而这就成为了Joey寻找他的唯一线索，最终也势必是通过这个MP3找到Mary的，与B选项说法相符。故选B项。

【3】推理判断题。根据最后一段引述Amber Wilkinson的原话“The movie takes the Cinderella fairy tale as its jumping-off point…The focus is firmly on following your dreams.”可知，这部电影将灰姑娘的故事作为出发点、立足点，也就是根据其改编，但电影的重心则落在了追求梦想上，与原故事是有区别的。故选D项。

【4】主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high school.”并结合全文内容可知，文章由灰姑娘的故事引出一部电影，然后介绍剧情，最后引述影评人的评价，是一篇标准的影评。故选A项。
