1、As a spokesman of Chinas Film Festival, I introduced our film festivals to the world and as a representative of Chinese films as well, I attended some international film festivals. The following are the important film events around the world.The Cannes Film Festival is the largest, the most famous a

2、nd exciting festival throughout the globe. Films shown at Cannes are often made with large budgets, and have wellknown actors and directors. If a film wins here, everyone will hear about it. But in recent years, it has begun to resemble the Academy Awards in Hollywood, losing its edge as the best in

3、ternational film festival in the world and a broad range of films from many different countries. Next to Cannes is the Toronto International Film Festival. Each year, famous actors, actresses and directors come to Toronto and the entire film world pays attention to who wins here.The oldest film fest

4、ival on the earth is the Venice Film Festival, which is an annual festival that began in 1932. It includes only highquality films regardless of who makes them and without any restrictions on the kinds of films.But the Sundance Film Festival deliberately boycotts all Hollywood films, whose main crite

5、rion for being included is that the film must be small, independent and not be financed by Hollywood studios. The initial idea for the festival was hatched in 1978, but it was not well known until 1981 when Robert Redford became its sponsor and changed the focus to independent films. He wanted to ex

6、pose the public to films made outside of the Hollywood system that ordinary people might have no access to otherwise.作为中国电影节的发言人，我把中国电影节介绍给世界；作为中国电影的代表，我也参加了一些国际电影节。下面这些就是世界各地重要的电影盛会。戛纳电影节是全球最大、最著名、最动人的电影节。在戛纳展示的电影常是投资巨大、拥有著名演员和导演。如果一部电影在这里获奖，世界各地的人们都会知道它。但是近年来，戛纳电影节变得像好莱坞电影艺术节，失去了它作为全球最好的国际电影节的优势和来

7、自许多不同国家的广泛的电影。仅次于戛纳电影节的是多伦多国际电影节。每年著名男女演员和导演汇聚多伦多，届时整个电影界都关注着谁在这儿拿到大奖。世界上最古老的电影节是威尼斯电影节，它创始于 1932 年，每年举办一次。它只注重电影的高品质，不管创作者是谁，对电影的种类也没有任何限制。但圣丹斯电影节却故意地排斥所有好莱坞电影，其选择的主要标准是：必须小型化、独立制作、不接受好莱坞电影公司的资助。这个电影节最初策划于 1978 年，但直到 1981 年，罗伯特莱特福特赞助它并把重点转向独立电影，它才出名。他想让公众知道好莱坞以外的电影公司制作的电影，否则普通人可能就接触不到。加餐练(一) 完形阅读组合

29、现在由电脑制作，容易多了。2Which of these words best describes Walt Disney? ACreative. BAthletic.CExciting. DQuiet.解析：选 A 推理判断题。从他对卡通画的创作以及文中多次出现的“create, invent”可推知应是 A。即他是个很有创意的动画家。3What makes the film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs so remarkable?

37、福的真正含义。根据对前后两句的分析可知用 before，在该句中意为“没过多久就” 。5are affected 填该空格需要先明白这是一个名词性从句， it 是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的从句。而从句的主语是 views，该空格需要填谓语动词，需先把名词变成动词形式，还需要注意主谓一致。6intention 该空格前面有 whose，后面需要填名词形式 intention。7where 他们认为增加他们的收入是幸福的源泉，认为那就是他们的幸福所在。该空格是表语从句，填 where，在从句中作状语。8who 有些人把继承父母的财产作为自己的幸福，尤其是那些被称为含着金汤匙长大的富二代。该空格后

38、是定语从句，缺少主语，故填 who。9illegally 有些人甚至不惜违法，非法敛财。由句意可知，该空格需要先变成 legal的反义形式 illegal，再变成其相应的副词形式。10beautiful 人需要欣赏生活中美好的东西，用形容词修饰名词。.短文改错Our English teacher is a middleaged woman.
