Scott Fitzgerald, s novel The Great Gatsby, now is your chance to catch up by watching the latest film adaptation. Because if there* s one sentence to sum up the film, it would be, as Fox News says in its review, "It's just like the book.”Director Baz Luhrmann* s main challenge was "either to find a visual equivalent (相等 物)for Fitzgerald, s elegant essay the open secret of the book，s staying power or to bend the material to his own exotic (异国的)strengths) “ a Time magazine review says. He tries it both ways, with varying degrees of success.Considered to be Fitzgerald's representative work, The Great Gatsby explores themes of idealism, resistance to change, social change, and excess, creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream.Nick, the narrator, moves to New York for the summer to visit his cousin Daisy. His next-door neighbor is Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), who rarely contacts with others and is rumored to be a hero of the Great War. Gatsby claims to have attended Oxford University, but the evidence is suspect. As Nick learns more about Gatsby, every detail about him seems questionable, except his love for Daisy. Though Daisy is married, Gatsby still adores her as his “golden girl”. Thev first met when she was a young ladv from a wealthy family and he was a working-class military officer. Daisy promised to wait for his return from the war. However, she married Toni, a classmate of Nick. Having obtained a great fortune, Gatsby sets out to win her back again.“All of Fitzgerald* s original creation finds its way into this film, even going as far as to include quite a bit of the original dialogue» ” US film critic Justin Taroli writes in his review.“The cast is beautiful as is the script, and the scenes are a visual feast, “ Taroli adds.DiCaprio does a good and professional job as the socialite by recreating Fitzgerald1 s description of Gatsby's charm. "He can look at someone for an instant and understand how perfectly he or she wants to be seen, “ David Denby, a film critic for The New Yorker, says in his review.The use of music is almost reason enough to see the film. uLuhrmann is at his best mixing visual and musical styles together to create something wholly original, “ the Fox News review says.For example, in one of the most outstanding scenes in the film, the first party scene, Nick walks quickly from one party guest to another party guest trying to explain all the gossip about Gatsby until he is finally introduced to the man himself, while the most stirring version of Rhapsody in Blue (composed by American musician George Gershwin in 1924) is played in the background.错误！1. What did Baz Luhrmann do to make the film a success?A. He adapted the story in the novel as he wished.B. He made the film more powerful than the book.C. He mixed his style with the elegance of the essay.D. He showed the elegance of the pictures in the film.解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段的“to find a visual equivalent （相等物）for Fitzgerald's elegant essay . or to bend the material to his own exotic （异国的）strengthsv 和“He tries it both ways, with varying degrees of success.”可知，他把自己的风格和原著结合 起来从而获得了成功，故选C。2.

Why does the author give the example of the first party scene in the last paragraph?A. Unfold the fact that Nick wants to know more about Gatsby.B. Show the version of Rhapsody in Blue matches the film well.C. Prove that the director is good at combining visual and music.D.

She starts a conversation with both students and professors planning to write a paper or an essay. She asks about their earlier writing experiences. Were they negative or positive?She says that you are not alone if you have had problems with your writing. " Writing is hard. All writers struggle at some point. And even if writing has come easily to you, at some point in your work as a student, eventually you* re going to hit a roadblock. So part of what I like to get folks thinking about is besides writing is hard for everybody to really take a moment to think about their past writing experiences. And when the writing was going well, what happened? When the writing wasn* t going well, what happened? ” She says most people, s negative writing experiences happened because a very specific was required for a paper including an exact length.“And so they primarily focus on and worry about what the final product has to look like, like how many pages for a research essay, whether it is in the second or third language, whether it gets communicated in the right language. So focusing on the end makes it really hard to get started.”w Another problem can arise when the need to do well on a paper is extremely important. Like a timed essay exam, or a college application essay, or a research paper that is at the end of the semester, it's tied to the entire grade for the class. So worrying about what will happen if they don* t do well get bad grades and don, t get into college 一 creates, of course, significant anxiety. And that can make it harder to get the writing done.nThen she and the people she's helping move to more positive projects. She says usually when writing comes easily, the writers feel they have something important to say.语篇解读：本文主要介绍了Ahern-Dodson女士对写论文出现的问题的分析及给出的建议。5.

Advertisements for student credit cards are everywhere: in bags at the bookstore, in the campus newspaper, in your regular mailbox, in the residence halls.With so many college students graduating with large amounts of credit card debt (figures vary, but most are at least in the thousands), learning how to manage a student credit card can be an important lesson for any students. While using a card wisely can be an important part of building credit and making it through a diflicult time, knowing how to use a card wisely can be the hard part.Stick to the following rules when, and if, you need to use a credit card：,You can repay the charges within the card, s next billing cycle.,You must meet your basic needs, like food, clothing and shelter, but set rules and be aware that you will need to repay those charges at the end of the month.,You can talk to the financial aid office in your school for an alternative in “emergency” situations.If you do want a credit card, just be smart about it. (They let you into that school because of your brain, right? ) Don* t automatically get the first one you find. Shop around for a card that has the lowest interest rate possible, and consider places that may not be advertising on campus. Additionally, be aware of any card* s repayment options: When will payments be due? How much will they be? A credit card is not like a loan that comes with a grace period (宽限期)after you graduate and waits until you arc done with school. That new sweater and nice dinner out will need to be paid back right away.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了大一新生开学面临的问题之一信用卡 的选用，并就此给出了建议。9. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Be confused by.B.
