第二部分 阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）

A

Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood in the United States. However， the real movie capital is Mumbai， in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay， so the film industry there is called “Bollywood.” Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year as Hollywood—more than 800 films a year.

The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing， Bollywood movies contain singing， dancing， action， adventure， mystery， and romance. Because Bollywood films contain so many different features， this style of film is sometimes called a “masala” film. （“Masala” is an Indian word for a mixture of spices.）

Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way the movies are made. It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact， filming may begin earlier in a Bollywood movie before the script （剧本） is finished. The directors and writers can make up the story while the film is being made. Sometimes they will even write the script by hand instead of typing it.

Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several movies at the same time. They may even shoot scenes for several films on the same day using the same clothes and scenery. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story， shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors and directors. This also helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies lower than that of Hollywood movies. A Bollywood film， with an average budget （预算） of only two million US dollars， seems very cheap compared with an average budget of sixty million US dollars for a Hollywood film—thirty times as much！

21. What is the passage mainly about？

A. Famous stars in Bollywood. B. The making of Hollywood movies.

C. The history of movie-making in India. D. The differences between two movie industries.

22. Which is true about Mumbai？

A. Its new name is Bombay. B. It is the movie capital of India.

C. Fewer movies are made there than in Hollywood. D. The film industry there is called “Hollywood.”

23. Why are Bollywood films often called “masala” films？

A. They show Indian culture. B. They have interesting stories.

C. They mix different styles of movies. D. They are much longer than Hollywood films.

24. Why Bollywood movies are cheap to make？

A. The scripts are written by hand. B. They are shorter than Hollywood films.

C. The movies do not use any special effects. D. Most movies reuse things from other movies.

25. Which of these statements would the writer probably agree with？

A. Bollywood movies are often similar.

B. Hollywood movies are too violent.

C. It costs a lot of money to make a good movie.

D. Indian people understand Bollywood movies better than foreigners do.
