Unit 1 Lights,Camera,Action! 单元话题阅读理解练习 （24-25高一上·江苏苏州·阶段练习）The Silver Glove The reviews below are about the film The Silver Glove. Angela Moore I just love this fast - moving pirate (海盗) film. The story moves at high speed from one frightening fight scene to the next. You really feel as if you are on the ships with these pirates. The main pirate, played by British actor Colin Williams, is given all the best and most humorous lines. The film has its share of laughs as well as frightening moments. Max Court I enjoyed this film very much. The film is directed with great skill and invention by German Dieter Muller. There are a lot of surprises in the story to keep us guessing until the last minute. Some clever jokes give the film a surprising level of humor too, which I really didn’t expect from a film about pirates. Deborah McGhee The Silver Glove promises much but delivers very little. The opening scene, filmed in a storm of lightning and high waves (波浪), is an exciting start. But as the film takes you from one fight to another, it starts to seem boring. Actress Patricia Groves plays the doctor wonderfully. Maria Thomson After all the money that has been spent on this simplistic pirate film, you would expect more than this boring movie. The fight scenes are so repetitive (重复的) that you may think you’ve seen the film before. Most of the camera work is inventive, though. The ship chase (追击) creates a lot of excitement that the rest of the film fails to do. 1．What common idea do Angela Moore and Max Court share? A．The film is frightening. B．The film is humorous. C．The film encourages them. D．The film keeps them guessing. 2．Who thinks highly of the actress playing the doctor in the film? A．Max Court. B．Angela Moore. C．Deborah McGhee. D．Maria Thomson. 3．Maria Thomson is unsatisfied with the film’s ________. A．ship chases B．fight scenes C．camera work D．opening scene （23-24高一下·四川成都·阶段练习）Peking Opera is a form of Chinese opera which arose in the late 18th century. It became quite popular in the mid-19th century and is now regarded as one of the cultural treasures of China. Major performance troupes (剧团) are based in Beijing and Tianjin in the north, and Shanghai in the south. The art form has also been introduced to other countries such as the US and Japan, influencing the development of the opera there from some perspective. There are four major categories (类别，种类) of roles in Peking Opera, and each category contains various subcategories. On the stage, the performers combine different skills together in one play, including singing, dancing, and combating in symbolic and suggestive movements. They also hold a variety of stylistic conventions that help audiences follow and understand the plot. The layers of meaning within each movement are expressed in time with music. The melodies of Peking Opera can be divided into two main categories, namely xipi and erhuang. Melodies include arias (唱腔), fixed-tune melodies and percussion patterns. There are over thousands of works in the complete collection of Peking Opera, which are based on Chinese history, culture, folklore, and, increasingly, contemporary life. Many of them, however, are no longer performed on stage. In recent years, there have been various reforms to Peking Opera in order to attract more young audience to the theatre. Such attempts include improving performance quality, adapting new performance elements, and performing new and original plays, and the outcome is quite promising. 1．How long has Peking Opera become a popular art form?

He liked the book so much that he decided to revisit the world of the book by drawing pictures for it. “They’re changing themselves,” he said, “and they also stand for so much potential (潜力) to change the world. Because there’s always something broken that they need to fix, and hopefully fix for the better.” He said it looks at diversity (多样性) in a new way. “Diversity is so important,” Chiang said. “It just shows you that the world has always been diverse.” “Wherever you look, there is a woman in power,” said actor Nate Corddry, who plays Larry Radakowski in the time-travel adventure. “The biggest thing is that this lesson that women can run every department is being sent down to the girls.” Actress Camryn Jones agreed.

A sad movie may be good for you. Some scientists at Ohio State University found that sad movie can make people happier. They showed their study in a magazine called Communication Reaches. Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie. The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated. They died during World War II at the end of the movie. The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feeling, such as sadness. According to the result, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie. Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their lives. Compared to those of unlucky lovers, their lives were full of hope. “I want to live my life to the fullest, and this movie made me think a lot,” one student wrote. Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, the head of the study, said that bad moods (情绪) would make people more thoughtful. “Good moods are usually a sign that everything is fine. You don’t have to worry, and you don’t have to think about your problems in your life,” she said. “But bad moods make you feel terrible. So, seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad, but that will make you think more about yourself and be full of hope in the future.” 1．Why did the scientist ask the college students to watch a sad movie?

Whether they are tears of joy or sadness, it’s quite astonishing that human emotion can be controlled by moving images on a screen. In fact, it all comes from a plan. But what about those heart-breaking stories… for kids? They seem not to sugarcoat the realities of the world. Actually, many great kids’ movies loaded with tragedy (悲剧) are purposefully meant to stir up kids’ strong feelings. According to Aristotle, tragedy aids us in facing life’s unsolvable issues through sensible thought. Therefore, the existence of tragedy in kids’ movies is to teach kids to handle, to understand and to heal (治愈). The hardest lesson for a child is how to deal with loss, especially if it’s sudden. The cartoon classic The Lion King tells the story of Simba, who experiences the loss of his father. Kids see themselves in Simba’s character. He has dreams. He has a desire to grow and be a part of a bigger world. But it is really heartbreaking to see the loss. Why is a film like this so beloved when it makes kids cry? The lesson it teaches is to overcome hardships and to move forward. Hakuna Matata! Yes, the phrase from The Lion King is to teach kids it’s okay to move on from tragic loss and not to let it define you. It’s an important lesson we learned at a very young age. Sadness should not be ignored. It’s important to feel sad, and that is why these films are so great. In Dumbo, Charlotte’s Web and Bridge to Terabithia, we lose our beloved characters. This quite upsets kids, but it teaches them to accept sadness and makes something new out of it. So, what is the message behind a sad kids’ movie? It’s meant to teach the audience, especially children, to gain their independence and how to free themselves from tragedy. It’s like a cushion (缓冲垫) that separates stories from reality. It helps children deal with sad feelings when they come for real, or at least find relief by saying Hakuna Matata. 1．Why does the author mention “first cry” in paragraph 1? A．To promote a movie. B．To explain the reason. C．To support an argument. D．To introduce the topic. 2．What does the underlined phrase “Hakun a Matata” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Defining sadness as a treatment. B．Challenging oneself with tragic losses. C．Seeking knowledge to enrich life. D．Heading forward without being trapped. 3．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Sad kids’ movies help children to escape from reality. B．Sad kids’ movies prepare children for life struggles. C．Children can learn to ignore sadness in tragedy. D．Children can find a way to hide sad feelings. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Why Are Great Kids’ Movies So Sad? B．What Is the Power of Great Kids’ Movies? C．Life’s Hardest Lesson: How Movies Inspire Us? D．Moving Beyond Reality: What Kids’ Movies Teach Us? （23-24高一下·海南省直辖县级单位·阶段练习）American Jason Stark’s two young sons talked excitedly for months about seeing the The Super Mario Bros. Movie. When the film opened this month, Stark decided to make a special event of taking his boys to the show. Stark took a day off from work and drove his boys, ages 9 and 6, about a half-hour from their Connecticut home. They went to watch the movie at an AMC theater with a large special screen called an IMAX. “We got lunch, went to the movies and had a fun day together,” sad Sark. “They loved it. They were amazed by how big the screen was.” Filmmakers and theater business leaders say movie watchers are seeking such new, interesting experiences. American and Canadian ticket sales of traditional movies this year arc 16 percent below those of 2019. However, people have attended movies in large numbers for films and showings that use special effects, including Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water. Theaters are employing technology to create improved experiences. Changes include larger screens, special sound systems, seats that move in connection with action in a film and other environmental effects. Market researcher Comscore speculates these special shows will make up about 16.7 percent of US movie ticket sales. The company says that number was 9.2 percent in 2019. Theater companies continue to build large, special viewing screens known as premium format (高级格式). The total number of premium format screens in North America reached 1,940 in 2022, says Omdia, another research company. It says the new number represents an increase of 4.4 percent over the year before. The average ticket price to see a movie in the US is around $11. Premium screenings usually cost five to seven dollars more. B&B Theatres operates 531 screens in 14 states and offers large format screens as well as heated chairs that can be raised and lowered, immersive (身临其境) audio and seats timed to move with a movie’s action. 1．What impressed Stark and his two sons most about seeing the movie?

D．They cost more for people to enjoy. （23-24高一下·湖北黄石·阶段练习）A speech in a play by Shakespeare can be as short as a word or as long as several hundred. But what is the most common length? Staying away from Shakespeare himself for a moment, we can take Ben Jonson’s play Volpone (1606) and count the number of speeches and their lengths. The most common length is four words. The next most common length is five words. Of the other 16 Jonson’s plays, 12 also have a speech length mode (模式) of four. It was not just Jonson; it was everybody. After 1602, four-word speeches were the most common kind across all the early modern plays that survived. The London theatre industry took off in the late 1580s and early 1590s and we see a concentration of speech length modes of nine or ten. After 1602, the mode of four predominated. If we look just at Shakespeare’s plays, we find him doing what everyone else did: changing from favoring nine-word speeches to favouring four-word speeches around 1597-1602 and never going back. Our suggestion is that the playwrights (剧作家) learned progressively from one another how to represent more closely the speech lengths of everyday exchanges and found that audiences responded well to these. They started to focus less on strict writing rules and more on the liveliness of everyday speech. Another way to think of this is offered by the Russian literary scholar Boris Yarkho. He put forward an “index (指数) of liveliness” — the ratio of the number of speeches to the total number of lines in a play. He researched the works of the 17th-century French playwright Pierre Corneille and found that his comedies have a higher index because of their shorter speeches. The move from a mode of nine words to a mode of four represents the shortened average speech, and thus a move to livelier drama in Yarkho’s terms. Nevertheless, we have no record of any dramatist or playgoer reflecting on the shortening of average speech lengths; our only knowledge of it comes from counting the words in the plays for ourselves. 1．What happened in English plays around the 1600s? A．Their storylines were about famous writers. B．They were influenced by a poetic writing style. C．They featured different storytelling techniques. D．Their speeches were generally shorter in length. 2．What does the underlined word “predominated” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Remained unique. B．Took the leading position. C．Disappeared slowly. D．Played an educational role. 3．Why did playwrights change their writing styles according to paragraph 4? A．To challenge traditional writing rules. B．To stand out by applying their unique style. C．To avoid being affected by social values. D．To create realistic and acceptable speeches. 4．Which of the following is Yarkho’s opinion on the change in plays? A．It saved actors the trouble of memorizing their lines. B．It reflected people's preference for serious dialogues. C．It helped present dramas in an active and pleasant way. D．It made the characters express their feelings effectively. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 1 Lights,Camera,Action! 单元话题阅读理解练习 （24-25高一上·江苏苏州·阶段练习）The Silver Glove The reviews below are about the film The Silver Glove.

Whether they are tears of joy or sadness, it’s quite astonishing that human emotion can be controlled by moving images on a screen. In fact, it all comes from a plan. But what about those heart-breaking stories… for kids? They seem not to sugarcoat the realities of the world. Actually, many great kids’ movies loaded with tragedy (悲剧) are purposefully meant to stir up kids’ strong feelings. According to Aristotle, tragedy aids us in facing life’s unsolvable issues through sensible thought. Therefore, the existence of tragedy in kids’ movies is to teach kids to handle, to understand and to heal (治愈). The hardest lesson for a child is how to deal with loss, especially if it’s sudden. The cartoon classic The Lion King tells the story of Simba, who experiences the loss of his father. Kids see themselves in Simba’s character. He has dreams. He has a desire to grow and be a part of a bigger world. But it is really heartbreaking to see the loss. Why is a film like this so beloved when it makes kids cry? The lesson it teaches is to overcome hardships and to move forward. Hakuna Matata! Yes, the phrase from The Lion King is to teach kids it’s okay to move on from tragic loss and not to let it define you. It’s an important lesson we learned at a very young age. Sadness should not be ignored. It’s important to feel sad, and that is why these films are so great. In Dumbo, Charlotte’s Web and Bridge to Terabithia, we lose our beloved characters. This quite upsets kids, but it teaches them to accept sadness and makes something new out of it. So, what is the message behind a sad kids’ movie? It’s meant to teach the audience, especially children, to gain their independence and how to free themselves from tragedy. It’s like a cushion (缓冲垫) that separates stories from reality. It helps children deal with sad feelings when they come for real, or at least find relief by saying Hakuna Matata. 1．Why does the author mention “first cry” in paragraph 1? A．To promote a movie. B．To explain the reason. C．To support an argument. D．To introduce the topic. 2．What does the underlined phrase “Hakun a Matata” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Defining sadness as a treatment. B．Challenging oneself with tragic losses. C．Seeking knowledge to enrich life. D．Heading forward without being trapped. 3．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Sad kids’ movies help children to escape from reality. B．Sad kids’ movies prepare children for life struggles. C．Children can learn to ignore sadness in tragedy. D．Children can find a way to hide sad feelings. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Why Are Great Kids’ Movies So Sad? B．What Is the Power of Great Kids’ Movies? C．Life’s Hardest Lesson: How Movies Inspire Us? D．Moving Beyond Reality: What Kids’ Movies Teach Us? 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．B 4．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了优秀的儿童电影如何通过悲伤教育孩子们，使他们能够应对生活中的挑战，学会在悲伤中寻找解脱和治愈的方法。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段的“We all remember that first cry at the movies. Whether they are tears of joy or sadness, it’s quite astonishing that human emotion can be controlled by moving images on a screen. In fact, it all comes from a plan. But what about those heart-breaking stories… for kids? They seem not to sugarcoat the realities of the world.(我们都记得看电影时的第一次哭泣。无论是喜悦还是悲伤的眼泪，人类的情感都可以被屏幕上的移动图像来控制，这是非常令人惊讶的。事实上，这一切都源于一个计划。但是那些让孩子们心碎的故事呢？他们似乎没有粉饰世界的现实。)”可知， 提到“第一次哭泣”是为了引出电影如何引起观众强烈的情感反应，这为讨论悲伤的儿童电影的影响奠定了基础，因此它的作用是引出下文的话题。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段的“Why is a film like this so beloved when it makes kids cry? The lesson it teaches is to overcome hardships and to move forward. Hakuna Matata! Yes, the phrase from The Lion King is to teach kids it’s okay to move on from tragic loss and not to let it define you. It’s an important lesson we learned at a very young age.

It’s meant to teach the audience, especially children, to gain their independence and how to free themselves from tragedy. It’s like a cushion that separates stories from reality. It helps children deal with sad feelings when they come for real, or at least find relief by saying Hakuna Matata.(那么，这部悲伤的儿童电影背后传达了什么信息呢？它的目的是教会观众，尤其是孩子，获得独立，如何从悲剧中解脱出来。它就像一个缓冲垫，将故事与现实分开。它可以帮助孩子们处理悲伤的情绪，或者至少通过说Hakuna Matata来找到解脱。)”可知， 最后一段强调，悲伤的儿童电影是为了教会孩子们为生活的挣扎做好准备，如何应对悲伤和悲剧，而不是逃避现实或隐藏悲伤的情绪。因此，悲伤的儿童电影让孩子们为生活的挑战做好准备。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，根据最后一段的“So, what is the message behind a sad kids’ movie? It’s meant to teach the audience, especially children, to gain their independence and how to free themselves from tragedy. It’s like a cushion that separates stories from reality.

Movie. When the film opened this month, Stark decided to make a special event of taking his boys to the show. Stark took a day off from work and drove his boys, ages 9 and 6, about a half-hour from their Connecticut home. They went to watch the movie at an AMC theater with a large special screen called an IMAX. “We got lunch, went to the movies and had a fun day together,” sad Sark. “They loved it. They were amazed by how big the screen was.” Filmmakers and theater business leaders say movie watchers are seeking such new, interesting experiences. American and Canadian ticket sales of traditional movies this year arc 16 percent below those of 2019. However, people have attended movies in large numbers for films and showings that use special effects, including Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water. Theaters are employing technology to create improved experiences. Changes include larger screens, special sound systems, seats that move in connection with action in a film and other environmental effects. Market researcher Comscore speculates these special shows will make up about 16.7 percent of US movie ticket sales. The company says that number was 9.2 percent in 2019. Theater companies continue to build large, special viewing screens known as premium format (高级格式). The total number of premium format screens in North America reached 1,940 in 2022, says Omdia, another research company. It says the new number represents an increase of 4.4 percent over the year before. The average ticket price to see a movie in the US is around $11. Premium screenings usually cost five to seven dollars more. B&B Theatres operates 531 screens in 14 states and offers large format screens as well as heated chairs that can be raised and lowered, immersive (身临其境) audio and seats timed to move with a movie’s action. 1．What impressed Stark and his two sons most about seeing the movie? A．The large screen. B．The moving story. C．The famous actors. D．The excited audience. 2．What’s the problem with traditional movies? A．They are difficult to understand. B．They will disappear in the future. C．They are less popular now. D．They are limited in types. 3．What does the underlined word “speculates” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A．Warns. B．Doubts. C．Guesses. D．Worries. 4．What do we know about the new technology movies? A．They aren’t affected by traditional movies. B．Their screens are timed to move. C．They only attract the young to watch. D．They cost more for people to enjoy. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章谈论的是特殊屏幕和特效吸引更多观众。影院正在使用技术来创造更好的体验。变化包括更大的屏幕、特殊的音响系统、随着电影中的动作和其他环境效果而移动的座位。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“They loved it. They were amazed by how big the screen was.(他们很喜欢。他们对屏幕之大感到惊讶)”可知，电影巨大的屏幕给他们留下了最深刻的印象。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段“Filmmakers and theater business leaders say movie watchers are seeking such new, interesting experiences. American and Canadian ticket sales of traditional movies this year arc 16 percent below those of 2019. However, people have attended movies in large numbers for films and showings that use special effects, including Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water.(电影制作人和影院商业领袖说，电影观众正在寻求这种新的、有趣的体验。今年美国和加拿大传统电影的票房收入比2019年低16%。但是，像《壮志凌云：独行侠》、《阿凡达：水之道》等使用特效的电影和放映，却吸引了大量观众)”可知，传统电影不那么受欢迎了。故选C。 3．词义猜测题。根据划线词后文“The company says that number was 9.2 percent in 2019.(该公司表示，2019年这一数字为9.2%)”以及“these special shows will make up about 16.7 percent of US movie ticket sales”中为一般将来时，故可知，2019年的占比是9.2%，故市场研究机构Comscore是在推测这些特别节目将占美国电影票房的16.7%。故划线词意思是“猜测”。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The average ticket price to see a movie in the US is around $11. Premium screenings usually cost five to seven dollars more.(在美国看一场电影的平均票价约为11美元。高级放映通常要多花5到7美元)”可知，新科技电影让人们花更多的钱。故选D。 （23-24高一下·湖北黄石·阶段练习）A speech in a play by Shakespeare can be as short as a word or as long as several hundred. But what is the most common length? Staying away from Shakespeare himself for a moment, we can take Ben Jonson’s play Volpone (1606) and count the number of speeches and their lengths. The most common length is four words. The next most common length is five words. Of the other 16 Jonson’s plays, 12 also have a speech length mode (模式) of four. It was not just Jonson; it was everybody. After 1602, four-word speeches were the most common kind across all the early modern plays that survived. The London theatre industry took off in the late 1580s and early 1590s and we see a concentration of speech length modes of nine or ten. After 1602, the mode of four predominated. If we look just at Shakespeare’s plays, we find him doing what everyone else did: changing from favoring nine-word speeches to favouring four-word speeches around 1597-1602 and never going back. Our suggestion is that the playwrights (剧作家) learned progressively from one another how to represent more closely the speech lengths of everyday exchanges and found that audiences responded well to these. They started to focus less on strict writing rules and more on the liveliness of everyday speech. Another way to think of this is offered by the Russian literary scholar Boris Yarkho. He put forward an “index (指数) of liveliness” — the ratio of the number of speeches to the total number of lines in a play. He researched the works of the 17th-century French playwright Pierre Corneille and found that his comedies have a higher index because of their shorter speeches. The move from a mode of nine words to a mode of four represents the shortened average speech, and thus a move to livelier drama in Yarkho’s terms. Nevertheless, we have no record of any dramatist or playgoer reflecting on the shortening of average speech lengths; our only knowledge of it comes from counting the words in the plays for ourselves. 1．What happened in English plays around the 1600s? A．Their storylines were about famous writers. B．They were influenced by a poetic writing style. C．They featured different storytelling techniques. D．Their speeches were generally shorter in length. 2．What does the underlined word “predominated” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Remained unique. B．Took the leading position. C．Disappeared slowly. D．Played an educational role. 3．Why did playwrights change their writing styles according to paragraph 4? A．To challenge traditional writing rules. B．To stand out by applying their unique style. C．To avoid being affected by social values. D．To create realistic and acceptable speeches. 4．Which of the following is Yarkho’s opinion on the change in plays? A．It saved actors the trouble of memorizing their lines. B．It reflected people's preference for serious dialogues. C．It helped present dramas in an active and pleasant way. D．It made the characters express their feelings effectively. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，讲述了17世纪后，大多数戏剧的话语长度转向四字模式，剧作家认为较短的戏剧话语能以一种积极愉快的方式呈现戏剧。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The London theatre industry took off in the late 1580s and early 1590s and we see a concentration of speech length modes of nine or ten.(伦敦戏剧产业在1580年代末和1590年代初开始发展，我们看到演讲长度模式集中在9词或10词)”及“If we look just at Shakespeare’s plays, we find him doing what everyone else did: changing from favoring nine-word speeches to favouring four-word speeches around 1597-1602 and never going back.(如果我们只看莎士比亚的戏剧，我们会发现他做的和其他人一样：在1597-1602年左右，他从喜欢9个词的演讲变成了喜欢4个词的演讲，并且再也没有回去过)”可知，16世纪末尾，话语长度多为9词，10词，17世纪后，话语长度转向4词，话语长度变短。故选D。 2．词义猜测题。根据划线词下文“If we look just at Shakespeare’s plays, we find him doing what everyone else did: changing from favoring nine-word speeches to favouring four-word speeches around 1597-1602 and never going back.(如果我们只看莎士比亚的戏剧，我们会发现他做的和其他人一样：在1597-1602年左右，他从喜欢9个词的演讲变成了喜欢4个词的演讲，并且再也没有回去过)”可知，划线词后以莎士比亚的戏剧为例，说明话语长度变短，并且再没有变长，推知，4词模式从此处于主流领导地位，划线词意思为：处于领先地位。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Our suggestion is that the playwrights(剧作家)learned progressively from one another how to represent more closely the speech lengths of everyday exchanges and found that audiences responded well to these. They started to focus less on strict writing rules and more on the liveliness of everyday speech.(我们的建议是，剧作家们逐渐从彼此学习如何更紧密地表达日常交流中的讲话长度，并发现观众对此反应良好。他们开始不那么关注严格的写作规则，而更多地关注日常讲话的生动活泼)”可知，剧作家写作时更加重视日常用语的生动性，因此，他们改变写作风格创造现实和可接受的演讲。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“The move from a mode of nine words to a mode of four represents the shortened average speech, and thus a move to livelier drama in Yarkho’s terms.(从9个词的模式到4个词的模式代表了缩短的平均讲话，因此用Yarkho的话说，这是一种更生动的戏剧)”可知，Yarkho认为，将戏剧的词数变短，有助于以一种积极愉快的方式呈现戏剧。故选C。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
