Question

阅读理解 　　The film Finding Neverland(《寻找梦幻岛》)is a story of magic and fantasy(魔幻)inspired by the life of James Barrie, the author of the children’s story Peter Pan．Set in London in 1904, the film follows Barrie’s creative journey to bring Peter Pan to life, from his first inspiration(灵感)for the story until the play’s first show at the Duke of York’s Theatre． 　　As the film opens, Barrie finds himself in the middle of an artistic crisis．Unfortunately, Barrie loses his inspiration－not even his wife Mary can waken his creative senses．Fighting with writer’s block(障碍), Barrie meets the Llewelyn Davis family one lazy morning during his daily walk with his dog in London’s Kensington Gardens．Moved by the fatherless boys－Jack, George, Michael and Peter－and their beautiful mother, Barrie begins to tell them magical stories to pass the time during their walk in the park．Through the playwright’s imagination　he changes his dog into a dancing bear, stick into mighty swords, small hills into pirate(海盗)ships, kites into fairies and the Llewelyn Davis boys into “The Lost Boys of Neverland”． 　　As time goes by, a deep relationship develops between Barrie and all the members of the Llewelyn Davis family．Finally, he arrives at the point where he can’t imagine his life without them．When terrible things come, Barrie acts as a father to guide them through unimaginable sadness． 　　At the same time, Barrie’s writer’s block disappears as he’s inspired to put pen to paper and create the story of Peter Pan．The childlike innocence(天真)of the four boys leads him to imagine a world－Neverland－where no one ever grow up．It’s a place where there’s no real tragedy, and where that sense of joy－felt only by a child－is never tarnished(失去光泽)．“Peter Pan” wasn’t just a fanciful(奇怪的)story about charming children, it was also about Barrie’s own wish to never grow up． (1) The film Finding Neverland is ________． [　　] A． about the real life of the writer James Barrie B． about a story written by James Barrie in 1904 C． shown in 1904 for the first time D． not about a story happening in the real world (2) How did Barrie’s inspiration come back?

Answer 1

答案：1．D;2．C;3．C;4．D;
解析：

(1)	第一句就提到《寻找梦幻岛》讲述的是一个魔幻故事，因此它不可能是在真实世界发生的故事。文中出现的1904年是指故事发生的时间，而不是故事写作或电影首映的时间。
(2)	“not even his wife Mary can waken his creative senses”表明A项是错误的；Barrie每天遛狗只是让他遇见了Llewelyn Davis一家；他创作出了Peter Pan则是因为灵感被重新激发后的结果，他与Llewelyn Davis一家的交往加深才真正使他的创作灵感得以回归。
(3)	句意是“最后，他到了离开他们就无法过活的地步”，也就是说，Llewelyn Davis一家已经是他生命中不可分割的一部分了。
(4)	文中并没有提及Peter Pan创作的时间；Barrie的灵感的枯竭是在与Llewelyn Davis一家建立深厚感情后才得到改善的；他后来只是充当了一个父亲的角色；“it was also about Barrie’s own wish to never grow up”说明他自己也想做个孩子。
