课后提升练(十四) Section Ⅳ WRITING
[对应学生用书P182]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
First and foremost, “The Great Salmon Run” looks amazing.It is beautifully filmed, done in a completely natural and sometimes friendly way and never looking still.The editing is always brief and smooth and the scenery is pure magic.A wide diversity of the different landscapes are included rather than just one habitat.The music fits very well, beautiful and appropriate.
Again, like so many Attenborough nature/wildlife documentaries, “The Great Salmon Run” fascinates, teaches, moves, entertains and attracts.In terms of the facts, there was a very good mix of the known ones and the unknown.Some facts are familiar to us while some are going into details about the different animals, their challenges and some truly amazing wildlife events in their struggles for survival and interaction with other animals whether prey(猎物) or predator(捕食者).
Certainly the salmons are a thing of beauty but the greyish brown bears similarly have impressive moments as well.It may not be new territory for Attenborough, but animals are what one can't get enough of.Besides, there is enough freshness to the material not to make one feel going round in circles but absorbed.
Narration(解说) by Attenborough helps significantly.He clearly knows his stuff and knows what to say and how to say it.He delivers it with his usual richness, soft-spoken enthusiasm and sincerity, never talking down to the viewers and keeping them wanting to know more.Viewers care for what goes on in front of and behind the camera.
At no point does “The Great Salmon Run” ever feel like just a series of scenes.Instead, it feels like its own story and journey, with real, complex emotions and conflicts and animal characters, all of which are developed in a way a human character would in a film.
Overall, amazing.
