Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．D;3．D;4．B;
解析：

(1)	Spielberg是国际知名的导演，知道这一点的话很容易选出正确答案；除此之外，短文的最后一句“Zhang would also suggest making the movie in China and shooting the scenes of ‘the west’ in India or Nepal”中的make the movie和shoot the scenes也可以证明Spielberg是film maker。
(2)	《西游记》讲述的是唐僧师徒西天取经的故事。
(3)	章金莱关心的主要是忠实原著的问题，因为之前的太多版本都与这部经典作品大相径庭，所以他希望Spielberg的影片能够尽可能地忠实原著。
(4)	短文共三段，第一段讲的是Steven Spielberg表示有兴趣把《西游记》拍成电影，第三段讲的是央视版电视剧《西游记》中孙悟空的扮演者章金莱对此事的积极回应，第二段则简要介绍了《西游记》的故事梗概。由此可见，短文的主要内容并不是讲述《西游记》这部作品，也不是以之为蓝本的影视作品。

提示：

在判断短文中某个人物的身份时，主要是根据这个人的言行来下结论；同时，还要考虑与之发生联系的其他人的行为的相关表述。
