题目内容
【题目】As ever, the Summer Movie Season is full of series and special effects. But if you’re prepared to look for them, you’ll find some smaller, odder films flying beneath the radar.
Book Club (May 18): A great quartet(四人组)of actresses (Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, Mary Steenburgen) headline this comedy about a book club that gets back into a romantic mood after reading Fifty Shades Of Grey. It sounds ridiculous, but if that is a hook for a romantic comedy, it will be trying something new.
Tag (June 15): This comedy looks like it might share some DNA with The Hangover, as a group of friends reunite over the years to play a never-ending game of tag—Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm, Hannibal Buress, Jake Johnson, Ed Helms, Leslie Bibb, Rashida Jones and Isla Fisher star. In other words: a lot of people we already know are funny, plus Jeremy Renner!
Uncle Drew (June 29): The attraction is that a young guy (Lil Rel Howery) has to renew a team of old men—played by NBA legends in old-age makeup—to play alongside his Uncle Drew (Kyrie Irving) in a big neighborhood game. This is such a strange idea for a comedy that I cannot wait to see it. Stars include Shaquille O’ Neal, Nate Robinson, Chris Webber, Lisa Leslie, Reggie Miller, J.B. Smoove and an up-and-coming comedy actress, Tifany Haddish.
Skyscraper (July 13): It wouldn’t be an action-movie season without Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson running off a crane(起重机)and leaping in a way that in reality would result in certain death but that in a movie results in a safe landing! I’m not here to tell you it’s more than it appears. I’m here to tell you it’s probably exactly as it appears. It comes out on July 13, so perhaps on the hottest day of the summer, forget your troubles and see The Rock save his family.
【1】Which film can you enjoy this May?
A. Book Club. B. Tag. C. Uncle Drew. D. Skyscraper.
【2】What is strange about Uncle Drew?
A. A lot of people in old-age makeup are very funny.
B. A young man has to employ some NBA legends to play in a game.
C. Some current NBA superstars will star in the film.
D. The author cannot wait to see the film.
【3】Which film is not a comedy?
A. Book Club. B. Tag. C. Uncle Drew. D. Skyscraper.
【答案】
【1】A
【2】B
【3】D
【解析】
试题这是一篇说明文。夏季电影节充满了连续剧,文章介绍了四部夏季电影节播出的优秀电影。
【1】细节理解题。由Book Club (May 18)可知,五月你可以欣赏电影Book Club。故填A。
【2】细节理解题。由Uncle Drew (June 29)部分的The attraction is that a young guy (Lil Rel Howery) has to renew a team of old men—played by NBA legends in old-age makeup—to play alongside his Uncle Drew (Kyrie Irving) in a big neighborhood game. This is such a strange idea for a comedy that I cannot wait to see it.可知,Uncle Drew 吸引人的地方是,一个年轻人(莱尔·豪厄里饰)必须重组一支由NBA的传奇人物组成的老人团队,和他的叔叔德鲁(凯里·欧文饰)一起在一场大型社区游戏中打球。对于一部喜剧来说,这真是个奇怪的想法。因此这部电影的奇怪之处是一个年轻人必须重组NBA的传奇人物参加一场比赛,故选B。
【3】细节理解题。由Skyscraper (July 13)部分的It wouldn’t be an action-movie season without Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson running off a crane(起重机)and leaping in a way that in reality would result in certain death but that in a movie results in a safe landing!可知,Skyscraper不是喜剧而是动作片。故选D。
细节理解题的解题策略:变通理解,间接转述找答案。细节理解题通常采用词语和句型转换的形式来取代原文中的表述,命题者在出这类题时惯用“偷梁换柱、张冠李戴”的手法来迷惑考生,即对原句细微处做改动,截取原文词语或结构进行改造,因果倒置,把A的观点说成B的观点等。所以正确理解题干和信息句的意义是关键。例如小题2,题干信息为What is strange about Uncle Drew?“关于Uncle Drew奇怪的是什么?”通读全文定位在Uncle Drew (June 29)部分的The attraction is that a young guy (Lil Rel Howery) has to renew a team of old men—played by NBA legends in old-age makeup—to play alongside his Uncle Drew (Kyrie Irving) in a big neighborhood game. This is such a strange idea for a comedy that I cannot wait to see it.。本句的意思是:Uncle Drew 吸引人的地方是,一个年轻人(莱尔·豪厄里饰)必须重组一支由NBA的传奇人物组成的老人团队,和他的叔叔德鲁(凯里·欧文饰)一起在一场大型社区游戏中打球。对于一部喜剧来说,这真是个奇怪的想法,我等不及要看了。因此作为喜剧这部电影的奇特之处是一个年轻人必须重组NBA的传奇人物参加一场比赛,故选B。
