問題詳情：

Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t, strictly speaking, eve adults?

They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Film Festival tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy: Lincoln center. Complete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18.

“What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids,” said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. “We want to make this a national event,” Ms. Gardner added.

The nine shorts to b shown range from a Claymation biography of B.B. King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005. “Ａlot of the material is really mature,” Ms. Gardner said, talking about films by the New York branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership-training group. “The choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke.”  Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants’ (移民) feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.

The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and a full-length film whose title is Pressure.

【回答】

56. C  細節理解題。由第二段最後一句話和第三段第一句話“…the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18.“What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids,”可知Wingspan Arts Kids Films Festivals是專門由孩子製作電影然後，專門為孩子播放帶來藝術享受的節日。

57. B  細節理解題。由第三段第二句話“…Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area”可知Wingspan Arts是一個非盈利為目的的為青少年提供藝術專案的紐約的組織。

58. C  詞義猜測題。由第三段“This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia”和shorts後面的關鍵詞“to be shown”,可判斷出有很多部各種題材的電影將在此次電影節上上映，其中的九個shorts，應該是九個短片電影。

59. A  總結歸納題。由倒數第二段的內容描述，特別是關鍵句“The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B.B. King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005.”可總結歸納出此次電影節的電影主題內容涉及面非常廣。

60. C  細節理解題。由最後一段的“The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown”可知電影節結束時會舉辦一次開放的招待會，屆時將會有其它的電影上映。
