分析 开车看电影
你有没有曾经想出一个想要去尝试的观点?在20世纪30年代,一个名叫理查德•霍林斯赫德的人这样做了.他想出把他最爱的两个兴趣车和电影结合在一起.他想创业.人们可以从他们的车里看电影.理查德在车道上测试了这个想法.首先他把一个叫做放映机的机器放在车里.然后他在两棵树之间挂了一个床单.这个床单就像电影院里的白色屏幕.理查德用放映机在车里播放了这个电影.接下来他把录音机放在床单后面.电影的声音来自录音机的声音.他还测试了在车里是否能听见声音.为了找到最好听电影声音的方式,他把自己车窗的玻璃摇上去又摇下来.最终,他测试了在雨里声电影是否可以观看,声音是否可以被听到.他所做的每一次尝试都成功了.1933年,他开办第一家汽车电影院,它和足球场一样大.它大到可以容纳大约400辆车.屏幕是30英尺高,40英尺宽.扬声器被放置在屏幕旁边,这样声音可以被听见.马上汽车电影院开始变得流行起来.一个人看一次电影只要花25美分.到20世纪50年代,有5000家汽车电影院.他们一直很受欢迎直到电视出现.今天只有不到800家汽车电影院.但是生活在影院附近的人们依很享受这种有趣的活动.今天汽车电影院正如80多年前一样,仍然让人们觉得快乐.
解答 56.D.根据He thought of an idea to bring together his two favorite interests:cars and movies.He wanted to start a business.可知理查德想把自己最爱的兴趣汽车和电影结合在一起创业,创业的内容就是人们可以在车里看电影,故选择D.
57.C.根据He tried to test whether the sound could be heard from the car.可知理查德测速声音是否可以在车里听到声音,故前句应该与声音有关,故选择C,表示电影的声音来自录音机的声音.
58.A.根据In 1933,he opened the first drive in movie theater.可知理查德做了一系列的测试,每次都是成功的,所以1933年他开办了第一家汽车电影院,故选择A.
59.B.根据The theater was as big as a football field.可知这个影院和足球场一样大,大都可以容纳约400人,故选择B.
60.E.根据By the 1950s,there were about 5,000drive in movie theaters.They remained popular until the television came along.可知随着电视的出现,汽车电影院的数量逐渐减少,故选择E,表示今天只有不到800家汽车电影院.
