A
The following are reviews of the films that are being shown at the moment.
No.1 Happiness (Romance) ★★★
Happiness tells the story of two people (Lisa Turbot and Danny Roy) who work for different advertising companies. They talk on the phone all the time and don’t like each other. But then they correspond by e-mail and fall in love. This movie will be very popular with teenagers and people who like romances. It also has beautiful music.
No.2 I Scream (Thriller) ★★
In I Scream, Paul (Colin Jacks) is a young man who joins a thriller club. Each of the members tries to frighten the others. Paul is told to stay in an old house for the night. Everyone who has tried to stay in the house before has died. This movie is very frightening but also quite silly. It doesn’t make sense for Paul to stay in the house when things start to go wrong. It is only for people who like thrillers.
No.3 Paul’s Heroes (Comedy) ★★★
This is a very funny war movie set in World WarⅡ. Six soldiers (including Sammy Turblow) have to get to Italy to take secret messages to the American army there. In the movie, they dress up as women and fight with Italian workers. You can guess the ending, but it’s great fun getting there.
No.4 __________ (Drama) ★★★★
This is a very good drama with Jack Ross, who plays a hard-working truck driver. His wife becomes ill and he has to find a doctor who can help her. In his travels he meets Dr Lloyd who has found the cure for the illness, but Jack Ross has only twelve hours to get the medicine back to his wife on the other side of America. This is an excellent movie, which is my favorite.

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“This is an excellent movie, which is my favorite.(这是一部很棒的电影，也是我的最爱)”可知，第四部电影是这位评论者最喜欢的。故选D。
【2题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“They talk on the phone all the time and don’t like each other. But then they correspond by e-mail and fall in love.(他们总是在电话上交谈，互不喜欢对方。但后来他们通过电子邮件correspond并坠入爱河)”可得出，此处是指他们通过电子邮件交流，所以correspond意为 “交流”。故选A。
【3题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“In his travels he meets Dr Lloyd who has found the cure for the illness, but Jack Ross has only twelve hours to get the medicine back to his wife on the other side of America.(在他的旅行中，他遇到了找到治愈这种疾病的方法的劳埃德医生，但是杰克 ·罗斯只有12个小时的时间把药送到在美国另一边的妻子那里)”可知，电影用仅有的12个小时突出冲突，营造紧张氛围讲述故事，可得出用 “十二小时”作标题更能制造悬念。故选D。
