2…Read the following passage and choose the option (A, b, C or D) that best answers each of the questions below.

The Silver Glove

The Silver Bore

Daniel Jones

If you’ve ever seen a pirate film in the past, you can save your money. This is one of the most predictable films I have seen this year. The plot is totally unbelievable and the script is something amateurish out of filmmaker college. There is some nice cinematography but the Hawaiian scenery is not enough to save this film. Great support acting from the Frenchman Thierry Montpasse as the evil Captain Scar.

#Pirates At the Speed Of Light

Angela Moore

I just love this fast-moving pirate thriller. The story moves at dizzying speed from one terrifying battle scene to the next and you really feel as if you are on the ships with these evil thieves and smugglers. Chief pirate, British actor Colin Williams, is given all the best, wittiest lines and the film has its share of laughs as well as scary moments. The storm scene at the beginning leaves you both exhausted and terrified.

41. What is the main purpose of the thread?

A. To explain the plots of the film.

B. To introduce the main characters of the film.

C. To give review of the film.

D. To encourage people to see the film.

42. Who are the target audiences of the thread?

A. Film-lovers                                             B. Movie critics             

C. Pirate movie fans                                    D. All are correct.

43. The word “amateurish” means

A. good                B. unskillful                   C. professional               D. qualified

44. The word “dizzying” means

A. confusing                   B. unsteady           C. slow                           D. amazing

45. Angela Moore complimented Colin Williams for his

A. Acting skills     B. Movie lines                C. Costumes                            D. All is correct
