5.The film stars out as a normal day at a typical American high school.Friends chat in the dining room and boys play football.But there's big surprise when the movie ends with two students going crazy in the school-shooting and killing people.This is Elephant.It stars real school kids.American director Gus Van Sant had no ready-made lines.The student actors made up their own dialogue,with Van Sant asking them to base their characters on their own lives.
Although it may not sound very high quality,the film won the Palmed'Or (金棕奖) for Best Film and the award for Best Director at the Cannes film festival.
The film is based on the shootings at a high school in the US,where two boys killed 13 people and then themselves in 1999.
The title of the movie refers to the old expression about a problem that's as hard to ignore as an elephant in the house.
The film takes a close look at a few hours in the lives of the victims and the killers.It shows how high school is a different experience for everyone---fun and friendly,or hard and lonely.
In many ways,the two boys,who carry out the shooting,act like ordinary kids.They joke around with one boy's mother as she serves them cakes and play the piano.
But there're hints of the anger they feel inside.One of the boys is bullied (欺负) at school.The other plays violent video games.But Van Sant isn't blaming their killings on either bullying or violent games.In fact,the film doesn't offer any reason for why school violence happens.
"I didn't want to explain anything.It's up to the audience to draw its own conclusions,"said the 51-year-old director.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了美国的一位导演拍摄校园暴力并对其发生的原因进行了分析.
解答 21.B.细节理解题.根据第二段American director Gus Van Sant had no ready-made lines.The student actors made up their own dialogue,with Van Sant asking them to base their characters on their own lives可知电影的台词不是导演预先准备的,而是学生演员创造的;故选B.
22.A.推理判断题.根据最后一段It's up to the audience to draw its own conclusions,"said the 51-year-old director可知导演把为什么留给了观众,大家思考的不一样,因此原因是由观众自己定的;故选A.
23.C.推理判断题.根据第五段The title of the movie refers to the old expression about a problem that's as hard to ignore as an elephant in the house.可知电影名字的来源是一句古老的谚语,elephant即大象,本身就是一种体积庞大的动物,如果出现在家里,那么就是在不正确的地方,就是一个问题了.因此这里的引申义就是说明校园暴力事件是一个大问题.故选C.
24.B.主题大意题.根据第一段The film stars out as a normal day at a typical American high school.可知开篇就说电影里面的内容,紧接着第二段就提出了电影的名字,并结合全文可知整篇文章都在讲述这部电影的材料来源,以及对电影内容否认点评分析.故选B.
