第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
When Maleficent first appeared in cinemas five years ago, with her sculpted cheekbones and twisted devil horns, she became an instant hit with audiences around the world. Now, she’s back with a new movie.
The sequel to Disney’s 2014 film, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, hit Chinese mainland cinemas on Oct 18．It was expected to be one of the hottest film releases of the month.
What makes this film popular with audiences?
“Maleficent （2019）is a fierce fairy tale about the joy of being uniquely individual,”Carla Renata, a US film critic, wrote on Twitter.
The sequel features new and distinctive characters, Maleficent, played by US actress Angelina Jolie, is an evil fairy witch who hates human beings for the betrayal of her human lover. Then we have Princess Aurora, played by US actress Elle Fanning, who is kind and strong. Even though Maleficent cursed her and took her captive, Aurora refuses to hate fairies. A new character, Queen Ingrith, is Aurora’s mother-in-law. She’s a typical villain who will spare no effort to divide Maleficent and Aurora. She hopes lo divide humans and fairies forever.
“These characters are so unique that you would remember even many years after you finished watching the movie,”said Renata.
Apart from the strong cast of characters, the movie’s theme of inclusiveness and cooperation between two distinct groups is meant to enlighten audiences. Both fairies and humans must find a way to understand each other if they want to protect the peaceful land where magical creatures live together.
“The film is about kindness and acceptance and tolerance,”Fanning told Metro, “We want people to be kind to one another... to understand that it is wrong to out people that arc different.”
With such a powerful theme, there’s no wonder that USA Today says it’s among Disney’s best live-action sequels.
21．What do we know about the character Maleficent?
A．She fights for human beings. B．She betrays her human lover.
