The film got 1 billion in ticket sales in a very short time. The story in the film happens on an alien planet called Pandora where many strange species live. Among the planets inhabitants(居民,栖息动物)，the one that has the most similarities with humans is the Navi, and it is the struggle between the Mavi and human invaders(入侵者) that forms the story of the film.As to the factors(因素) leading to the films success, many think that the entertaining feast(盛宴) for the eyes and the wonderful story shouldnt be forgotten, but the new language invented especially for the film which provides audiences with a new experience also plays an important part.In order to increase the truthfulness of an alien race（外星人）, the films director James Cameron asked an expert in languages from the University of Southern California to invent a language for the Navi. Professor Paul Frommer combined the languages spoken among Indians, Africans and mid-Asians and worked with James Caneron for four years to create the Navi language based on the original 30 words that the director had already come up with.According to Professor Frommer, the most important characteristic of the Navi language is that it could be pronounced. “This is an alien language but obviously it has to be spoken by human actors and actresses,” Professor Frommer told the BBC, “it has to sound natural and it should make human beings comfortable when using it.”The language has a vocabulary of around 1000 words but Progessor Formmer hopes to enlarge the vocabulary in possible follow-ups to the film and in video games. The professor hopes that one day his creation will be as successful as the Klingon alien language from the “Star Trek”films. “Theres a translation of Hamlet into Klingon and it has received great popularity among the audiences,” says Professor Frommer，“if anything like this happens to the Navi language, Id be very happy.”11. What do we know about“Avatar” from this passage?A. The story in it is a moving love story. B. It brings the producer 1 billion in total.C. The story in it happens on an alien planet. D. It talks about humans and aliens friendship.12. The director of “Avatar” James Cameron had a language invented for the Navi to A. make the film a whole mystery B. make the Navi more believable C. make the Navi different from humans D. make the film have specific characteristics13. Who first created the basic words of the Navi language?A. Paul Frommer. B. An Indian. C. James Cameron D. Hamlet.14. The important feature of the Navi language is that A. it can be spoken by humans B. it has just 30 original wordsC. it has a vocabulary of 1000 words. D. it is like the Klingon alien language15. We can infer from the passage that A. James Cameron will produce follow-ups to “Avatar”B. the Navi language is another kind of the Klingon languageC. the director believes the Navi language will be popularD. Paul Frommer hopes to add new words to the Navi language参考答案一、单项选择（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 15 DBACB 610 DCBCA 1115 CDBAD 1620 ABACD二、完形填空（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 2125 ACBC A 2630 BCDBA 3135 DABDC三、单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）1） entertained 2）mountainous; 3）Unfortunately 4）overcome 5）astonished6）amused 7）.explanation 8）hunger 9）humourous 10）failed 四、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 15 DCBAB 610 ACDDA 1115 CBCAD
