查看习题详情和答案>>The number of big-production movies shot in San Francisco has been declining with the rise of digital technology. Instead of going on location, producers can recreate the city’s look in studios at lower cost with the help of computers. But San Francisco still attracts moviemakers, as its long history of film offers many iconic spots to visit. Here are just a few:
| ◆Alcatraz: The Enforcer (1976), Escape from Alcatraz (1979), Murder in the First (1995), The Rock (1996) A federal prison from 1934 to 1963, Alcatraz housed notorious(臭名昭著的) criminals, including Al Capone, George “Machine Gun” Kelly and James “Whitey” Bulger. Now a national park, Alcatraz offers visitors a chance to tour the prison, including a look at one of the cells portrayed in Clint Eastwood’s Escape from Alcatraz, with the concrete chipped away behind the vent. |
| ◆Fort Point, Golden Gate Bridge: High Anxiety (1977), Foul Play (1978), The Presidio (1988), Dopamine (2003) Built to protect the San Francisco Bay area from attacks during the Civil War, Fort Point is where James Stewart saved Kim Novak in Vertigo, right at the base. The bridge has also been blown up countless times on film, including in X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) and Monsters vs. Aliens (2009). The best view is from the north side, looking back to the city. |
| ◆Coit Tower: The Enforcer, Inner Space (1987), The Presidio, Sister Act 2 (1993), The Rock, Dr. Dolittle (1998), Boys & Girls (2003) The narrow white concrete column at the top of Telegraph Hill has been a part of San Francisco’s skyline since 1993, and offers spectacular views of the bay and the city. Coit Tower has been in the backdrop（背景）of numerous movies filmed in San Francisco. |
| ◆City Hall: A view to a Kill (1985), Class Action (1991), Final Analysis (1992), Bedazzled (2000), The Wedding Planner (2001), Milk (2008) City Hall has one of the largest domes in the world and it replaced a structure destroyed in the 1906 earthquake. It was used at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and Metro City Hall in the 2010 animated movie, Megamind, was an homage(敬意) to San Francisco’s City Hall. |

查看习题详情和答案>>the artificial kind, one scientist says.
"It is a little confusing to people," said Clint Springer, a biologist at Saint Joseph's University in
Philadelphia. Because of concerns over deforestation (砍伐森林) around the world, many people
naturally worry that buying a real tree might contribute to that problem. But most Christmas trees for
sale these days are grown not in the forest but on tree farms for the purpose of being cut.
Moreover, from the viewpoint of greenhouse gases, real trees are "the obvious choice". Live trees
actively release oxygen as they grow, and meanwhile remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
After they have been cut and Christmas is over, they're usually cut into smaller pieces for mulch (覆
盖物). As mulch, the bits of trees very slowly release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. So in
the end, a real Christmas tree is carbon neutral, putting the same amount of carbon dioxide back into
the air as it took out (although much more slowly).
The tree farms that grow the trees also replant after the trees are cut. Artificial trees, on the other
hand, don't come out even in the carbon balance. Petroleum (石油) is used to make the plastics in
artificial trees and lots of carbon dioxide-creating energy is required to make and transport them.
Because these trees just end up in the places where waste is buried under the ground after use, "those
greenhouse gases are lost forever," Springer said.
