【推荐1】A Chinese TV play,The Long Night has enjoyed great popularity, getting a high score of 9.2/10 on Douban. Viewers all spoke highly of this drama, saying it is even better than the original work.

As TV series such as The Bad Kids, Nothing but Thirty and Horizon Tower are still popular, netizens become excited and think that domestic(国内的)dramas are worthy of being followed. The Long Night, for example, makes people realize that everything can be easily imitated and copied except the understanding and search for aesthetics(美). Imitated or copied dramas often have no soul.

However,quite a few Chinese dramas prefer repeating or copying the content and theme in other dramas or their own ones.

Daylight Entertainment produced Ode to Joy(欢乐颂) to reveal the happiness and sadness of city beauties,receiving many positive comments.However, after the reproduction of Ode to Joy 2,All Is Well,and If There's No Tomorrow,it was criticized by professionals and audience for stereotypical(刻板的)creation:"Pile up the hopes of one hundred people onto one person the hero looks just like a live complaining post in the forum,and other characters are tools to hunt him."

Twenty Your Life On and Nothing but Thirty give the audience an impression that they are completely "coming from the trending topics and living on the trending topics". One viewer commented "I am guessing the next plays will be Forty to Know the Mandate of Heaven,Fifty to Move on,and Sixty Still Young".

Taking a closer look at the works that have earned a place in the history of Chinese drama none of them is a copy or copycat. Besides, they are too good to be followed.

Now,many Chinese dramas are noticeably turning themselves back to the right track. Hopefully,a good drama will not be followed by a group of twins or siblings.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍有线电视就像固定电话一样经历了兴衰。

【推荐2】People have been predicting (预测) the death of cable TV (有线电视) for a long time, but this really might be it. Just a decade (十年) ago, nearly all Americans — more than 85 percent of U.S. households — paid for packages of TV channels from cable or satellite ( 卫 星) companies. That started to drop slowly at first and then far more quickly in the past few years. Now, the share of American homes that pay for traditional TV service is approaching 50 percent, according to expert Craig Moffett and S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Kagan research group.

For comparison, cellphones were around for decades before the percentage of Americans who didn’t have a landline ( 座 机) at home reached 50 percent, around 2017. Maybe it seems predictable that cable TV would go the way of the landline. I promise you that it was not necessarily obvious, even once Netflix started to take off. Old habits die hard. Old industries that make a lot of people rich die even harder. And don’t forget that some new technology habits catch on fast but don’t stick.

What may be a final drop in America’s cable TV industry is a big deal. It shows that technology can change deep-rooted ways of doing things slowly, and then suddenly.

Ian Olgeirson, a research director at Kagan who has been following America’s TV market for about 20 years, told me that he was surprised by how quickly the monthly cable bill went from being standard to outdated for many Americans. Olgeirson and other TV experts I’ve been speaking to didn’t single out a turning point in cable TV’s big drop. They said the downward trend ( 趋 势) was more like a series of progressive changes building up.

It’s clear that the cable TV system that for decades brought joy and headaches to tens of millions of Americans is wearing thin. The wild card is whether Americans keep turning away from cable and satellite TV relatively slowly, or whether it will fail suddenly.

I have always loved TV. I felt like a real grown-up when I first started to pay a huge bill for television, partly to watch my favorite football team. I had reduced my cable TV package, but then a few months ago I was told that my bill was going to increase by about $10 a month. That was it. I’m a no-cable household now, too.

1. What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us about cable TV?
A.Its falling popularity.B.Its increasing payments.
C.Its various TV channels.D.Its high service standard.
2. Why does the author mention cellphones and landlines in paragraph 2?
A.To prove technology can change the world.B.To show it is not easy for cable TV to go away.
C.To illustrate there is no market left for cable TV.D.To explain technology can bring fortune to people.
3. Which of the following is beyond Olgeirson’s expectations?
A.America’s TV market was down suddenly.
B.The death of cable TV will come in about 20 years.
C.Americans turned away from cable TV so quickly.
D.There are still many Americans showing interest in cable TV.
4. What would be the best title for the text?
A.Cable TV won’t be replaced by satellite TVB.Cable TV brought joy to Americans
C.Cable TV has existed for decadesD.Cable TV is the new landline

【推荐3】In the latest romance-drama, Descendants of the Sun (《太阳的后裔》), a handsome soldier Yoo Shi-jin(柳时镇) (Song Joong-ki)(宋仲基) meets the pretty doctor Kang Mo-yeon(姜暮烟) (Song Hye-kyo)(宋慧乔) in a hospital, and he doesn’t hesitate to hit on her.

The dialogue, which takes place early in the first episode( 集), immediately indicates that this is no ordinary South Korean drama. There’s no family feud (不睦), or love tangles, or guesses and misunderstandings. The 16-episode show is set in the fictional war-torn country of Uruk (乌鲁克). Song Joong-ki is the leader of a special warfare command unit, while Song Hye-kyo plays a doctor who works for a humanitarian medical organization. Both are sent in the midst of disaster and disease as part of their work with UN peacekeeping troops. Both know and show clearly what they want and what they hate.

But what stands out the most are Song’s skills as a pick-up artist(撩妹技能).

Boldness and creativity are the key weapons in his arsenal. When Kang invites Yoo to drink wine with her, Yoo , who is not allowed to drink alcohol as a soldier, says, “There is a way” before kissing her. Forget about the “eighth-episode rule” . This kiss happens in the fourth.

Humor also does the trick. On their first date in a cinema, Yoo says, “This is the most exciting moment of my life. The moment I am with a beautiful woman before the theater lights go out.” When Kang tries to give Yoo a hard time, Yoo jokes, “I mistook you for a beautiful woman because it’s dark.”

And actor Song Joong-ki, who just came back from two years of military service last May, makes sure he delivers his pick-up lines just right.

In Deep Rooted Tree (《树大根深》) and The Innocent Man (《善良的男人》), he [Song Joong-ki] showed he had the steel to play fearless and heartless men – that he could be taken seriously as an actor, despite his pretty face. In Descendants, he hits the emotional core of every scene, whether he has to be bold and amorous, guarded and mysterious, or sad,” said critic Foong Woei Wan in The Straits Times.

1. What is the relationship between Song Joong-ki and Song hye-hyo?
A.loverB.colleagueC.actorD.doctor-patient
2. Why say that the Descendants of the Sun is no ordinary South Korean drama?
A.Because actors know and show clearly what they want and what they hate.B.It broke the previous Korean old story.
C.It exits family feud and love tangles.D.The pick-up artist is unique and special.
3. When the Descendants of the Sun tells us that heterosexual ( 异 性 ) contacts is important to have some quality including            
① humor ② Boldness and creativity ③ bold ④ emotional
A.①②B.①②③C.②③④D.above all
4. What is the article mainly about?
A.Introduce a drama called the Descendants of the sun.
B.Song Zhongji could be taken seriously as an actor, despite his pretty face.
C.The Descendants of the sun open a new pattern to pick-up woman.
D.The reason why the Descendants of the sun gain success.
