17.Here's a movie---a lot of fun that's sure to entertain the whole family.With some great compute-made effects,a great cast(演员阵容) and a fun-packed storyline(故事情节),Robots is the best animated film since The Incredibles.Yep,it really is that good.
Set in a world populated by robots,Ewan McGregor plays (扮演) Rodney Copperbottom,a young robot who leaves his small-town home to pursue his dream of becoming an inventor.
But after arriving in Robot City,his hopes of getting a job at Bigweld Industries are destroyed when he learns the firm has been taken over by the bad Ratchet (Greg Kinnear).
Egged on by(被…怂恿,煽动) his controlling mum,Madame Gasket (Jim Broadbent),Ratchet plans to reduce half of Robot City's citizens to scrap metal(金属碎片) by refusing to sell the spare parts they need to survive.
Instead,he wants to make a fortune selling expensive upgrades that few can afford.As he says,"Why be you when you can be new?"
Helped by a few robots known as the Rustles---including Robin Williams as the cowardly Fender ("I'm made of a metal called Afraidium")---Rodney must track down the company's founder,Bigweld (Mel Brooks),and convince him to save the city from Ratchet's plans.
The first thing that'll attract you about the movie is the thought that's gone into creating Robot City.It's a wondrous world full of mechanical(机械的) marvels including wind-up cars and walking streetlamps.
Also terrific are the special effects.This might be an animated movie but at times you'll catch yourself thinking it's really a live-action film.
Of course,there have been plenty of animated movies that were disappointing because of a weak storyline (see Shark Tale,for example).
But Robots appeals to you right from the start thanks to a heart-warming and thoroughly attractive plot that never bores.
My only complaints are with Williams who,as usual,has a one-in-10success rate with his jokes.Also a disapointment is a romantic subplot between Rodney and a shapely robot called Cappy (Halle Berry) that doesn't go anywhere.
Complains aside,this is a mechanical marvel that'll have you bolted firmly to your seat.
BEST QUOTE(引述):Fender:"Even though you had a discouraging day,just remember there's another one coming tomorrow."
BEST BIT:Check out those amazing images.
WORST BIT:Robin Williams'character does an unfunny Britney Spears dance routine.
IF YOU LIKED…Ice Age,The Incredibles,Toy Story…YOU'LL LIKE THIS.

分析 这是一篇影评,文章介绍了 Robots 这部电影的主要故事情节,并在文章末尾说明了电影的亮点和败笔.
解答 60-62.BCB
60.B 推断题.文章介绍了 Robots 这部电影的主要故事情节,并在文章末尾说明了电影的亮点和败笔,可知这是一篇影评.A项意为"商业广告";B项意为"影评";C项意为"电影海报";D项意为"文学文章".故正确答案为B.
61.C 细节题.文章第三段第一句"Ewan McGregor plays Rodney Copperbottom"排除A项.文章第七段第一句"…including Robin Williams as the cowardly Fender…"排除B项.文章第十二段"…a shapely robot called Cappy(Halle Berry) that…"排除D项.故正确答案为C.
62.B 细节题.Shark Tale 在文中只出现了一次,定位到第十段.第十段意为"当然,有许多可圈可点的动画片都被苍白的故事情节(weak storyline)糟蹋了(以《鲨鱼故事》为例)."可知,作者借用 Shark Tale 来作为苍白故事情节(poor plot)的例子.故正确答案为B.
点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是,仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案,这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱.所谓阅读理解,对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文,因此,每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查,再得出答案.也就是说,阅读理解的每一道题目,在原文都应该有明确的出处,我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句,(1)排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项(2)排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项 (3)排除用于过于极端或负面的选项(4)注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除.
