He made many famous black and white movies that were scary and full of suspense, hence his nickname as the “Master of Suspense”. His most famous films include The Birds and Psycho. Most of his films were murder mysteries, with clever dialogues, interesting plots and talented actors and actresses. He was also a revolutionary filmmaker and introduced many new techniques to the movie-making industry. Hitchcock had a roundish belly and a big nose, which made his profile very recognizable. He was not an actor but he loved to make cameo appearances in his own films.Hitchcock was an unusual man. For example, he produced frightening movies aboutmysterious murders, and yet once he said his own greatest fear was the fear of small children!Hitchcock also had a very clever imagination, which is especially clear in his movie The Birds. In this terrifying movie, a town is attacked by a tremendous flock of black birds. The birds are angry and break into people’s homes to take revenge.This man’s great im agination is also reflected in Psycho, which is one of the most famous British movies of all time. In Psycho, a young man claims to run a small motel with his elderly mother. But it turns out that the mother is fictional; she exists only in the young man’s head. At night, he dresses up like his mother and sits near the window for people to see. But after midnight he breaks into his guests’ bedrooms and murders them.In Hitchcock’s time and era, murder mysteries were not gruesome, like many of today’s horror films with lots of blood and gore. They thrilled audiences with their focus on intrigue and suspense.1. Which of the following is NOT true about Hitchcock’s movies?A. They were all murder mysteries.B.

On our personally guided tours, we’ll tell you stories, show you details and take you down secret passages that other tourists would never even know about.For the low price of only 100 British pounds, we will customize a tour to suit your interests and those of your family or tour group. The following tour is an example of how we can build a tour that suits the ghost and ghoul lover in you —and your spouse.As we approach the stone tower, take a deep breath. Feel the gravel crunch under your feet. Feel your heartbeat. Feel glad to be alive. For not everyone who enters this daunting fortress has the opportunity to leave. Many British people, famous and not, have entered this tower and never left —at least not alive.A long time ago, in the early 1080s, William the Conqueror ordered the tower to be built. It started as a relatively small structure, but over the centuries, other rulers added more towers, palaces, prisons and torture rooms.Let’s visit two of these special places, where t wo famous Londoners were put to death.First, we will visit the Tower Green, where Queen Anne Boleyn was executed. Anne was the second wife of King Henry VIII. Unlike most good queens, who would keep to themselves and not interfere with the king’s duties, Anne was a very smart woman. She was charming and was comfortable with expressing her ideas on politics and religion. But Henry VIII did not like this. He was also troubled that she didn’t give birth to a baby son, who could become king after he died.As m uch as Henry VIII wanted to marry another woman, he couldn’t, according to British law. So he decided to accuse his wife Anne of adultery. She was finally arrested and tried(审判). She was beheaded in the Tower of London in 1536.Some people say that Anne’s ghost still wanders around the chapel of St Peter ad Vincula, where she was buried.Another famous troublemaker to be executed at the Tower of London was Guy Fawkes. GuyFawkes was in the military, and he was a Catholic with very strong religious opinions and loyalties. Another one of Guy’s passions was explosives, or fireworks. In England, a group of unhappy Catholics asked Guy to help them plan an explosion that would shake up the country’s leaders. The group wanted to kill King James, who did not agree with their religious ideology(信仰).Before the explosives could be lit, however, Guy Fawkes was captured by King James’ men. Fawkes was imprisoned in the Tower of London and tortured with very painful devices. Finally, together with the other men who were planning to kill King James, Guy Fawkes was put to death by hanging.If these stories capture the imagination of you or your family, please join us for one of our tours.6. What kind of people might like to take the tour described in the passage?A. People who want to get over shyness.B. People who love ghosts and ghouls.C. People who love interesting stories.D. People who are movie directors.7. Why did HenryⅧwant to kill Anne?A. Because Anne was smarter than him.B. Because Anne was so beautiful.C.

Queen Anne Boleyn was executed in the Tower Green.b. Henry VIII wanted to have another wife.c. Anne was arrested for adultery.d. Anne was unable to give birth to a son.e. Henry married his first wife.A. d-c-e-a-bB. e-d-c-a-bC. e-d-b-c-aD. d-e-c-b-a9. After capturing Fawkes, what did King James do to the other men who took part in the plan?A.
