A
Four Inspiring Movies
Forrest Gump（1992）
Forrest Gump is a simple man with a low IQ but good intentions. This movie follows the fictional story in which the simple man makes his way through some of the more turbulent（動(dòng)蕩的）times from the 1960s through 1980s. This film took home six Oscars, inspired a “Weird Al” song, and proves that a big heart is the most important thing.
It's a Wonderful Life（1946）
No movie list would be complete without a nod to the past. Let's go with this Christmas classic, about a man with serious financial troubles who intends to commit suicide（自殺）by jumping off a bridge. His guardian angel Clarence Odbody stops him and tells him what life would have been like for those close to him had he never been born. Realizing how much he means to others, he rushes back home and all sorts of happy, inspirational, Christmassy things happen.
Dead Poet's Society（1990）
John Keating（Robin Williams）is a high school English literature teacher at a famous all-male boarding school who gets into trouble with the school administration after encouraging his students to challenge authority and think for themselves. It is certainly inspirational, if not also frustratingly sad.
A Beautiful Mind（2001）
This movie tells the story of John Nash（Russell Crowe）, a professor at Princeton, a US university, who revolutionized the field of game theory and fell into madness as a result of paranoid schizophrenia（精神分裂癥）. With the love and support of his family as well as the help of medical professionals, he managed to overcome his mental illness and continued to make contributions to the field of mathematics.

1題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)It's a Wonderful Life（1946）中Realizing how much he means to others, he rushes back home and all sorts of happy, inspirational, Christmassy things happen. “意識(shí)到自己對(duì)別人有多重要，他急忙回家，各種各樣的快樂，鼓舞人心，圣誕節(jié)般的事情發(fā)生了。”由此判斷出，“It's a Wonderful Life”有一個(gè)快樂的結(jié)尾。故選B。
【2題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)Dead Poet's Society（1990）中John Keating（Robin Williams）is a high school English literature teacher at a famous all-male boarding school who gets into trouble with the school administration after encouraging his students to challenge authority and think for themselves. It is certainly inspirational, if not also frustratingly sad. “約翰·基廷(羅賓·威廉姆斯飾)是一所著名寄宿男校的高中英語(yǔ)文學(xué)老師，他鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生挑戰(zhàn)權(quán)威、獨(dú)立思考，卻因此惹上了學(xué)校管理的麻煩。它肯定是鼓舞人心的，如果不是也令人沮喪的悲傷。”由此判斷出，Robin Williams的粉絲更有可能觀看電影Dead Poet's Society.故選C。
【3題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)A Beautiful Mind（2001）中With the love and support of his family as well as the help of medical professionals, he managed to overcome his mental illness and continued to make contributions to the field of mathematics.“在家人的關(guān)愛和支持以及醫(yī)學(xué)專業(yè)人士的幫助下，他成功地克服了精神疾病，并繼續(xù)在數(shù)學(xué)領(lǐng)域做出貢獻(xiàn)。”由此可知，在《美麗心靈》一書的結(jié)尾，教授戰(zhàn)勝了疾病，繼續(xù)追求數(shù)學(xué)。故選D。
