（四）
Movies are the most popular form of entertainment for millions of Americans. They go to the movies to escape their normal everyday existence and to experience a life more exciting than their own. They may choose to see a particular film because they like the actors or because they have heard the film has a good story. But the main reason why people go to the movies is to escape. Sitting in a dark theater, watching the images on the screen, they enter another world that is real to them. They become involved in the lives of the characters in the movie, and for two hours, they forget all about their own problems. They are in a dream world where things often appear to be more romantic（浪漫的）and beautiful than in real life.
The biggest “dream factories” are in Hollywood, the capital of the film industry. Each year, Hollywood studios make hundreds of movies that are shown all over the world. American movies are popular because they tell stories and they are well-made. They provide the public with heroes who do things the average person would like to do but often can’t. People have to cope with many problems and much trouble in real life, so they feel encouraged when they see the “good guys” win in the movies.

A. to enjoy a good story
B. to experience an exciting life
C. to see the actors and actresses
D. to escape their daily life
答案：D。文章第一段的第二句话说：“They go to the movies to escape their normal everyday existence and to experience a life more exciting than their own.”后面又谈到“But the main reason why people go to the movies is to escape.”所以美国人去看电影的重要原因是逃避现实生活。A,B,C 只是原因之一，而不是主要原因。

A. They feel that everything on the screen is familiar to them.
B. They try to turn their dreams into reality.

D. They are touched by the life stories of the stories of the actors and actresses.
答案：C。文章第一段谈到：“坐在电影院里，看着屏幕上的画面，人们进入了另一个世界。两个小时之中，他们沉醉在电影的世界里，忘记了自己的烦恼。”因此人们对电影的反应是，如此的沉醉其中忘记了自己的烦恼。
18. It is obvious that real life is _____.
A. less romantic than that in the movies
B. more romantic than that in the movies
C. as romantic as that in the movies
D. filled with romantic stories
答案：A。第一段的最后一句话：“They are in a dream world where things often appear to be more romantic and beautiful than in real life.”说明电影中的生活比现实生活浪漫。
19. The American movies are popular because _____.

20. People enjoy seeing the movies because they _____.
A. are tired of their everyday lives
B. feel inspired by the heroic deeds of the good guys
C. want to see who win in the end
D. have to cope with many problems in their lives
答案：B。文章的最后说：“电影中有许多的英雄人物，他们做了许多普通人想做但又做不到的事情。而现实生活中我们必须处理许多问题，面对许多麻烦，因此当人们看到电影中的英雄获胜的时候，会受到鼓舞。”所以人们喜欢看电影是因为他们会受到影片中人物的英雄事迹的鼓舞。A应当是人们看电影的原因之一，而不是enjoy seeing he movies。C，D都不符合文章的内容。
