高三英语培优外刊阅读 班级：____________学号：____________姓名：____________ 外刊精选｜《阿凡达2》票房开局不利，后续还能翻盘吗？ 上周末，备受期待的《阿凡达：水之道》在全球上映，13年后带领观众重返奇幻的“潘多拉星球”。2009年的《阿凡达》大获成功，让全球亿万观众感受到了3D电影的魅力，并由此开启了3D电影时代。《阿凡达2》主打的视觉特效技术和水下海洋世界能否再次震撼观众？它的开画成绩如何？詹姆斯·卡梅隆背负了怎样的票房压力？ 'Avatar: The Way of Water' Has a Subdued Start at the Box Office By Brooks Barnes After three pandemic-battered years at the box office, Hollywood desperately wanted "Avatar: The Way of Water," the sequel to the top-grossing film on record, to arrive like a ticket-selling tsunami. It was not to be. The ultraexpensive event movie collected about $134 million at North American theaters over its first three days, according to Comscore. Directed by James Cameron and revisiting the fantasy world of Pandora, "The Way of Water" cost Disney an estimated $600 million to make and market. But there may still be a way for "The Way of Water" to become a big, blue juggernaut — possibly even surpassing the $2 billion in global sales that Cameron publicly set as the benchmark for financial success. "It's not the kind of movie that you can analyze by looking at how the first weekend did," said Richard L. Gelfond, the chief executive of IMAX Corporation. "It's all about how it holds on. I think the legs are going to be really strong." The top international market for "The Way of Water" was China, where the movie arrived to $57.1 million in ticket sales, despite restrictions on theater capacity in some major cities because of coronavirus outbreaks. 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.subdued [səbˈdʒuːd] adj. ______________________________________ 2.desperately [ˈdesprətli] adv. ______________________________________ 3.ultraexpensive [ˌʌltrəɪkˈspensɪv] adj. ______________________________________ 4.market [ˈmɑːkɪt] v. ______________________________________ 5.juggernaut [ˈdʒʌɡənɔːt] n. ______________________________________ 6.benchmark [ˈbentʃmɑːk] n. ______________________________________ 【词块学习】 请从文章中找到下面中文相对应的文词块。 1.______________________________________在票房方面，在票房表现上 2.______________________________________被疫情蹂躏 3.______________________________________某作品的续集 4.______________________________________票房最高的电影 5.______________________________________大制作电影，大片 6.______________________________________有办法，有门路做成某事 7.______________________________________设定为某物 8.______________________________________不是......样的人/事物 9.______________________________________坚持住，持续性 10______________________________________影院客流量，上座率，满座率 拓展练习阅读理解 Animals might not be able to speak or master advanced language techniques, but they certainly have other ways of communicating. Whale song, wolf howls, frog cries — even the fast dance of the honeybee or the friendly waves of a dog’s tail — are among so many ways animals pass on information to each other and to other living things of the animal kingdom. When it comes to hearing communication, not every member of a species is just alike. Animals in different places have often been sounding off in different dialects. For example, one study shows that blue whales produce different types of sounds depending on where they are from. Some bird species are the same way. And what about those birds that live on the border between territories (领地) of different songbirds? They are often able to communicate in a way accepted by each of their groups of neighbors. Communication between different species can play important roles as well. One study shows that iguanas (鬣蜥蜴) do not communicate by making sound, but their well- developed ears help them hear well the warning calls of the flycatcher (a type of small bird). The two species have nothing in common except for the fact that they share a general habitat and enemies. So when an iguana hears a bird make a signal of danger for other birds, it probably knows to be watchful for arriving enemies, too. However, as noise pollution has become a serious problem all across the globe, many animals are now under fire. Increased shipping traffic over the last century has greatly affected the spread of whale song around the ocean basin. Studies have found that songbirds, too, suffer from noisy city surroundings. Some species have had to change their singing styles, producing songs that sound louder, in order to be heard above the noise. Their new voices usually lead to stranger and somewhat worse styles of singing that female birds find decidedly less sexy. 21．What can we know from Paragraph 3? A．Iguanas get along well with flycatchers. B．Iguanas are born with poor hearing. C．Iguanas often bring bad luck to humans. D．Iguanas communicate by singing. 22．As noise pollution has become serious, many animals __________. A．refuse to communicate with others B．cannot communicate effectively C．are now in danger of dying out D．don't make a sound any more 23．The author develops the passage mainly __________. A．by raising questions B．by following time order C．by providing examples D．by analyzing the data 24．Where can you read the passage? A．In a paper on physics. B．In a fashion brochure. C．In a magazine about nature. D．In a science fiction. 外刊精选答案 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.subdued [səbˈdʒuːd] adj. （商业活动的气氛）冷清低迷；闷闷不乐的 2.desperately [ˈdesprətli] adv. 极其 3.ultraexpensive [ˌʌltrəɪkˈspensɪv] adj. 超级昂贵的 4.market [ˈmɑːkɪt] v. 宣传 5.juggernaut [ˈdʒʌɡənɔːt] n. 令人恐惧的庞然大物，势不可挡的巨大力量 6.benchmark [ˈbentʃmɑːk] n. （用来比较的）基准 【词块学习】 请从文章中找到下面中文相对应的文词块。 1.at the box office在票房方面，在票房表现上 2.pandemic-battered被疫情蹂躏 3.the sequel to/of something某作品的续集 4.the top-grossing film票房最高的电影 5.event movie大制作电影，大片 6.there is a way for something有办法，有门路做成某事 7.set as something设定为某物 8.not the kind of somebody/something不是......样的人/事物 9.hold on坚持住，持续性 10.theater capacity影院客流量，上座率，满座率 【全文翻译】 《阿凡达：水之道》票房开局不及预期 在电影票房连续三年遭疫情冲击后，好莱坞迫切希望《阿凡达：水之道》这部史上最高票房电影的续集，一上映就能引发票房“海啸”。 然而，事与愿违。 根据美国市场研究公司Comscore的统计数据，这部超级昂贵的大制作电影在北美上映头三天票房1.34亿美元。《阿凡达2》是由詹姆斯·卡梅隆（James Cameron）执导，为了带观众重回潘多拉奇幻世界，迪士尼公司在制作和宣传上投资达到了6亿美元。 但《阿凡达2》仍有可能成为一个大爆款，票房甚至可能会超过卡梅隆为这部电影公开设定的财务成功衡量基准，也就是全球销售额达到20亿美元。 IMAX公司首席执行官理查德·L·盖尔方德 (Richard L. Gelfond) 表示：“这部影片不是那种从第一个周末的票房表现就能做出分析的电影，而是要看它之后的表现。我认为它后劲十足。” 中国是《阿凡达2》最大的海外市场。尽管由于新冠疫情爆发，一些大城市的影院客流量受到限制，但该电影的票房收入仍然达到了5710万美元。 拓展练习阅读理解 21．A 22．B 23．C 24．C 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了动物之间也会交流，不管是同一种类动物内部还是不同种类动物之间都可能存在交流。 21．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“One study shows that iguanas (鬣蜥蜴) do not communicate by making sound, but their well- developed ears help them hear well the warning calls of the flycatcher (a type of small bird). The two species have nothing in common except for the fact that they share a general habitat and enemies. So when an iguana hears a bird make a signal of danger for other birds, it probably knows to be watchful for arriving enemies, too.(一项研究表明，鬣蜥并不通过发出声音来交流，但它们发育良好的耳朵帮助它们很好地听到捕蝇鸟（一种小鸟）的警告叫声。这两个物种除了共同的栖息地和敌人之外，没有任何共同之处。因此，当鬣蜥听到鸟类向其他鸟类发出危险信号时，它可能也知道要警惕即将到来的敌人)”可推知，鬣蜥蜴通过捕蝇鸟的警告声来警惕天敌，且共有栖息地，因此，它和捕蝇鸟相处得很好。故选A。 22．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, as noise pollution has become a serious problem all across the globe, many animals are now under fire. Increased shipping traffic over the last century has greatly affected the spread of whale song around the ocean basin. Studies have found that songbirds, too, suffer from noisy city surroundings. Some species have had to change their singing styles, producing songs that sound louder, in order to be heard above the noise.(然而，由于噪音污染在全球范围内已经成为一个严重的问题，许多动物现在都受到了攻击。上个世纪增加的航运极大地影响了海洋盆地周围鲸鱼歌声的传播。研究发现，鸣禽也受到嘈杂的城市环境的影响。一些物种不得不改变它们的唱歌方式，发出声音更大的歌曲，以便在噪音中被听到)”可知，随着噪音污染越来越严重，许多动物无法有效交流。故选B。 23．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Whale song, wolf howls, frog cries — even the fast dance of the honeybee or the friendly waves of a dog’s tail — are among so many ways animals pass on information to each other and to other living things of the animal kingdom.(鲸鱼的歌声，狼的嚎叫，青蛙的叫声——甚至是蜜蜂的快速舞蹈，或者是狗尾巴友好的摆动——都是动物之间以及动物王国中其他生物之间传递信息的众多方式之一)”及第二段“For example, one study shows that blue whales produce different types of sounds depending on where they are from. Some bird species are the same way.(例如，一项研究表明，蓝鲸会发出不同类型的声音，这取决于它们来自哪里。一些鸟类也是如此)”及第三段“One study shows that iguanas do not communicate by making sound, but their well- developed ears help them hear well the warning calls of the flycatcher (a type of small bird).(一项研究表明，鬣蜥并不通过发出声音来交流，但它们发育良好的耳朵帮助它们很好地听到捕蝇鸟（一种小鸟）的警告叫声)”可知，全文引用大量动物的交流的例子来说明动物之间的交流方式。故选C。 24．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Animals might not be able to speak or master advanced language techniques, but they certainly have other ways of communicating.(动物可能不能说话或掌握先进的语言技术，但它们肯定有其他的交流方式)”及全文内容可知，本文介绍了动物交流的方式，最可能来自一本自然杂志。故选C。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
