题目内容

　　Based on a comic book（连环画册）series that began in 1963, the X-Men movies tell the story of Xavier and his team of X-Men. Like all mutants（变异人）, the X-Men possess the “X gene”, which gives them special abilities. While the X-Men seek peace, the Brotherhood of Mutants, the evil side of the mutant world, want to overtake humans.

　　In the first “X-Men” movie (2001), the Brotherhood tried to turn humans into mutants. In 2003’s “X2: X-Men United”, they attempted to kill all humans. The series’ latest chapter, “X-Men: Last Stand”, was released（发行）in the US on May 26. In it, the mutants suddenly have the chance to become normal human beings.

　　One of the great interesting things of the “X-Men” movies is the endless supply of mutants. The new additions in this film are the all-blue diplomat（外交官）Beast and Kitty Pryde, who can walk through walls, and the winged Angel. Despite new characters, the film stays true to the central idea of the X-Men comic book: The X-Men are fighting to protect a world that hates and fears them.

　　First-time “X-Men” director Brett Ratner has a way of putting special effects and action sequences together. Long-time fans, however, may complain that Ratner doesn’t have the same sense of humour or ability to create emotional resonance（情感共鸣）for characters an director Bryan Singer showed in the first two “X-Men” movies.

(1)What is the purpose of the passage?

[　　]

A．To tell us a story about mutants.

B．To introduce us a new film.

C．To show a new movie series.

D．To present a comic book.

(2)What does the underlined word “overtake” (in Paragraph 1) probably mean?

[　　]

A．To control.

B．To move more quickly than.

C．To help.

D．To become stronger than.

(3)Who is NOT the new character of the series’ latest chapter?

[　　]

A．Pryde.

B．Angel.

C．Ratner.

D．Beast.

(4)What can we learn from the last paragraph?

[　　]

A．Bryan Singer creates special action sequences.

B．Brett Ratner has directed several X-Men movies.

C．Bryan Singer is not as humourous as Brett Ratner.

D．Brett Ratner may not be well accepted as Bryan Singer.

答案：B;A;C;D
解析：

(1)主旨大意题。本文从第二段最后一句开始介绍X-Men系列电影的第三部。

(2)猜测词义题。根据句中的While the X-Men seek peace（while表示对比或相反的情况），及the Brotherhood of Mutants是异形人世界中邪恶的一方可知，overtake与seek peace意思相反，而且根据第二段第一句话可知，他们是想控制而不只是想超越人类。

(3)细节判断题。根据第三段第二句可知Beast, Pryde和Angel是第三部电影中的新角色，而Ratner是导演。

(4)段落大意题。根据本段第二句中说“影迷们可能会埋怨Ratner没有Singer的幽默感和使人对演员产生情感共鸣的能力”可以推断。
