An atlas is a book of maps. Atlases are made with different kinds of information about different parts and areas of a country or the world. They are prepared for desk use or travel use.
Desk atlases are made for different groups of people with different needs. For example, students may use desk atlases to help learn geography, and other people may use desk atlases to study a place. A popular type of the latest atlas shows the recent fact of the world. New atlases are often carefully produced to help people learn about the changes, such as the name changes, boundary(邊界) changes and other important new information. A desk atlas can also have some different maps of the same place. For example, an atlas may include maps showing population and important products of a place.
Travel atlases usually show the information about both natural and man-made features(特點(diǎn)). So it is not surprising to find universities, airports, forests, rivers, roads as well as cities, towns and villages in them. A travel atlas is often the first thing people need when they want to start a trip in a strange place. It often has a map of a whole country, and a map with more special information of each important place in the country. Take the atlas of the United States as an example, it often has a map of the whole country and then a map of each of the fifty states.
A travel atlas may also point out the beautiful natural places. In the US, the atlas may include national parks such as the Yellow Stone Park and some others to show the beauty of nature and interesting places to tourists.

LOS ANGELES - China has become the world's second-largest market for films, after North America, and China's box office earnings are growing by 30 percent a year. The country is changing the way Hollywood does business.
Films made or shown in China are reviewed by a board of censors(審查署), and the film Skyfall had some parts cut. The science fiction film Cloud Atlas lost 40 minutes, mostly parts showing violence(暴力). Films are also cut if they harm China image(形象).
Some big action films have a direct China connection. The adventure Iron Man 3 was partly filmed in China, so it has also been examined by Chinese officials. "Chinese opinions also influence other films, like 2012", said Stanley Rosen at the University of Southern California. He studies China's film industry. "Even if you're not .making in China, a film like 2012 will be very careful. A film including something that hurts Chinese feelings will simply kill the market."
Chinese audiences love big movies with special effects. Half of Hollywood's box is from Chinese theaters, and Chinese officials last year raised the yearly percentage of film imports(進(jìn)口) from 20 t0 34. Life of Pi was well received from Taiwan-born director Ang Lee, who has won his second Oscar Award for Best Director at the 85th Academy Awards Ceremony.
"More Hollywood studios(制片公司) are finding Chinese partners for co-productions, and Disney and DreamWorks Animation(夢工廠) are putting money in tourist attractions in Shanghai." Stanley Rosen said, "It's a developing relationship, and Hollywood needs China, as the North American market has been flat. But China needs Hollywood, as well, as you see with DreamWorks and Disney going in."
And China is coming to Hollywood. The Chinese company TCL has bought the right to rename the historic Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. And Dalian Wanda Group has bought a key American theater chain(連鎖影院), AMC. The ties between China and Hollywood are expected to grow further in the future.
54. __________is the largest market for films in the world.
A. China B. North America C. The United States D. India
55. From the passage, we can infer that __________.
A. Chinese audiences develop Hollywood films
B. Hollywood starts to do business in a Chinese way
C. Chinese film market has an influence on Hollywood
D. Hollywood films are shown in most of Chinese theaters
56. The writer uses Disney, DreamWorks Animation and TCL as examples to__________.
A. show the connections between China and Hollywood
B. introduce the movie studios in China and Hollywood
C. show how China and Hollywood help each other
D. explain why more movie studios go into China
