【2017高考复习】阅读理解 In white shirt，blue pants，black cloth shoes and two pigtails(辫子)，Jingqiu gives off an air of great“pure beauty”in Zhang Yimou's new movie Under the Hawthorn Tree. The film tells the story of the sad romance of Jingqiu and a handsome young man named Laosan.Set at the end of the“cultural revolution”(1966～1976)，the pair managed to fall in love although they came from different political environments. Before it was released，moviegoers speculated(推测)on just what this“pure beauty”could be.Director Zhang complained of how long it had taken him to find the right girl for the part of Jingqiu—a character so innocent that she believed simply lying on the same bed with a man would make her pregnant. It was 18yearold Zhou Dongyu who stood out from the crowd.According to Zhang，Zhou had“eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside”．Born of an ordinary worker's family，the Shijiazhuang girl was in her final year of high school and working hard for a place in an art college. While some teenagers consider such“pure beauty”illusory(虚幻的)，others believe that it speaks of something soulful. Purity is all about the innocence that shines through from within，thinks 16yearold Tan Mengxi of Nanjing. |
