But Bigtop Burger isn’t just attractive production and no substance.What begins as an episodic series about the everyday lives of food truck employees putting up with an odd boss soon begins to point at a centuries-old conflict between clowns and the undead.The last but one episode of the first season introduces Zomburger，a rival(竞争的) food truck run by the larger-than-life Cesare，but only by listening to the original soundtrack could fans guess at what was to come.Season Two’s stories are developed in the order of time，and the latest episode，“Down”，goes all in on the supernatural description.Taking its title from the song that gives a hint(暗示)，“Down” is where Cesare’s plans come to fruition，ending in a one-sided showdown with Steve，Bigtop Burger’s owner and certified “genuine clown”，whom he overpowers completely.It’s an especially rewarding moment for fans who picked up on the hints early. If you aren’t watching Bigtop Burger，you should be.With each episode a mere few minutes long，it’s an easy series to consume in one sitting.There is no excuse not to watch it.Anyway，Bigtop Burger is without doubt one of the best animated series currently available on YouTube.Give it a look-see and you won’t be disappointed. 4．What is paragraph 2 mainly about concerning the animation? A．Its cinematic feature. B．Its shooting background. C．Its detailed content. D．Its microphone quality. 答案　A 解析　段落大意题。根据第二段提到的拍摄技术、配音演员的互动等可推知，本段主要在讲这部动画片的一些特色。故选A。 5．What does the author suggest viewers do to better appreciate the first season? A．View it repeatedly. B．Pick up on the hints in advance. C．Put on 3D glasses. D．Refer to the original soundtrack. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“...the first season introduces...but only by listening to the original soundtrack could fans guess at what was to come”可知，只有听原声带才可以猜出会发生什么，由此可知，作者建议观众听原声带以更好地欣赏影片。故选D。 6．What do the underlined words “come to fruition” mean in paragraph 3? A．Break down. B．Achieve success. C．Get cancelled. D．Get approved. 答案　B 解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“ending in a one-sided showdown”可知，Cesare的计划最终取得了压倒性的胜利，由此推知画线词“come to fruition”表示“完成，成功”。故选B。 7．What is the purpose of the text? A．To introduce an animation. B．To think highly of a musician. C．To persuade audience to watch. D．To recommend an online channel. 答案　C 解析　写作意图题。根据最后一段中的“If you aren’t watching Bigtop Burger，you should be.”以及“There is no excuse not to watch it.”可知，本文作者介绍这部动画片的目的是说服观众去观看这部动画片。故选C。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
