Unit4 Stage and Screen阅读完形提高训练 - 2024-2025学年高一英语专项提高训练必刷好题 （外研版2019必修第二册） 一、阅读理解 Passage1.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. Actually, many great kids’ movies filled 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 (理智的) thinking. Therefore, the existence of tragedy in kids’ movies is to teach kids to handle, to understand and to heal. 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 (忽视). 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 introduce the topic. B．To recommend a movie. C．To support an argument. D．To explain the reason. 2．What does the underlined phrase “Hakuna Matata” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Viewing sadness as a treatment.

A．Children can find a way to hide sad feelings. B．Children can learn to ignore sadness in tragedy. C．Sad kids’ movies prepare children for tough times. D．Sad kids’ movies help children to escape from reality. 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 Kids’ Movies Inspire Us? D．Moving Beyond Reality: What Sad Kids’ Movies Teach Us? Passage2.Musical films are becoming a must-watch for everyone.

The company gave 26 participants a series of different tasks for five days in a row, including spell checking, mathematical word problems, data entry, and abstract reasoning.The participants completed these tasks while listening to music or no music at all. The results showed that while music was playing, 88% of participants produced their most accurate test results and 81% completed their fastest work.

For maths or other subjects involving numbers or attention to detail, you should listen to classical music, the study found. In the study, pop music enabled participants to complete their tasks 58% faster than when listening to no music at all.

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 filled 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 (理智的) thinking. Therefore, the existence of tragedy in kids’ movies is to teach kids to handle, to understand and to heal. 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 (忽视). 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 introduce the topic. B．To recommend a movie. C．To support an argument. D．To explain the reason. 2．What does the underlined phrase “Hakuna Matata” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Viewing sadness as a treatment. B．Seeking knowledge to enrich life. C．Challenging oneself with tragic losses. D．Heading forward without being caught. 3．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Children can find a way to hide sad feelings. B．Children can learn to ignore sadness in tragedy. C．Sad kids’ movies prepare children for tough times. D．Sad kids’ movies help children to escape from reality. 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 Kids’ Movies Inspire Us? D．Moving Beyond Reality: What Sad Kids’ Movies Teach Us? 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了悲伤的儿童电影如何通过悲剧情节帮助孩子们理解和处理失去等复杂情感，教会他们面对现实中的困难，并从中获得成长和独立。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“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? (我们都记得看电影时的第一次哭泣。无论是喜悦的泪水还是悲伤的泪水，令人惊讶的是，人类的情感可以被屏幕上移动的图像所控制。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)”可知，开头先提到看电影时的第一次哭泣，描述电影引起我们的情感反应，继而引出让孩子们心碎的电影故事，后文围绕悲伤的儿童电影及其背后的原因展开。由此可知，作者提到这个是为了引出文章的话题。故选A项。 2．词句猜测题。根据画线部分的上文“The lesson it teaches is to overcome hardships and to move forward. (它教给我们的是克服困难，继续前进)”和下文“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. (是的，《狮子王》里的那句话是要告诉孩子们，从悲剧中走出来是可以的，不要让它定义你)”可推知，画线部分Hakuna Matata !意为“向前走而不被困住”。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“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. (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，把故事和现实分开。当孩子们真正来到这里时，它可以帮助他们处理悲伤的情绪，或者至少通过说“Hakuna Matata”来找到解脱)”可推知，这些电影让孩子们为艰难的时刻做好准备。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“But what about those heart-breaking stories… for kids? They seem not to sugarcoat the realities of the world. (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，文章开篇提出了对于儿童电影中那些令人心碎的故事的疑问，然后围绕着儿童电影中存在悲剧元素展开论述，详细解释了许多儿童电影充满悲剧的原因。因此，文章是在探讨出色的儿童电影为何会有悲伤元素，A项“为什么出色的儿童电影如此悲伤”最符合文章主旨，适合作为标题。故选A项。 Passage2.Musical films are becoming a must-watch for everyone.

The company gave 26 participants a series of different tasks for five days in a row, including spell checking, mathematical word problems, data entry, and abstract reasoning.The participants completed these tasks while listening to music or no music at all. The results showed that while music was playing, 88% of participants produced their most accurate test results and 81% completed their fastest work.

For maths or other subjects involving numbers or attention to detail, you should listen to classical music, the study found. In the study, pop music enabled participants to complete their tasks 58% faster than when listening to no music at all. If you’re reviewing your English writing, pop music is the best choice, as it is the best kind for spell checking.

One film that always stood out was Amelie. I remember the day I first watched it. It was a rainy afternoon when I was about 16. Looking for something to do, I visited my local video store. The colorful cover and special title caught my eye, so I rented it and took it home, excited to see what it was about. Amelie tells the story of a shy girl who tries to make life better for those around her while dealing with her own loneliness. The storytelling is unique, and the visuals are beautiful. While the plot isn’t groundbreaking, it struck a chord with me. It made me think deeply and sparked my imagination in ways I hadn’t expected. Throughout high school and college. I often returned to my heart films. They gave me comfort and inspiration, especially when I felt lost. Watching them became part of who I was. I began to appreciate film-making from different angles, and I started exploring different genres (类型). This passion led me to join a film club at university. I began writing reviews and discussing films with others, which deepened my understanding of cinema. My love for storytelling grew, and I started dreaming of becoming a filmmaker. Through this journey, I learned so much about myself. Films opened new worlds and taught me to walk in others’ shoes. They inspired me to be creative and thoughtful. Today, my love for films has shaped who I am and continues to guide my passions. 1．Why did the author rent Amelie in the video store? A．Because it is one of her “heart films”. B．Because she is a shy girl like Amelie. C．Because the rain made her take a shelter. D．Because its cover and title are attractive. 2．What is the main reason the author considers Amelie a “heart film”? A．It covers different angles. B．It brings a lot of inspiration.

Frozen II For kids, Frozen II is a highly expected 3-D computer-animated musical fantasy film that continues the story of Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel), a queen with icy powers, and her warm-hearted sister, Anna (voiced by Kristen Bell).
