❖ 疑难长句 ✎-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Peter Jackson, director of The Lord of the Rings films, took a creative approach — he used clever camera angles to make characters seem bigger or smaller than they really were. (教材 p3)
【结构解析】
这是一个主从复合句。句子主干是 “Peter Jackson took a creative approach”。主句后接破折号引出补充说明部分 “he used clever camera angles...”,用于具体解释前面的“creative approach”。这部分中包含一个由 “to make” 引导的不定式短语作目的状语,而 “make” 的宾语补足语 “characters seem bigger or smaller than they really were” 中,又包含一个由 “than” 引导的比较状语从句 “than they really were”。整个句子的逻辑是:人物(做了某事)——具体方式是(通过某种方法)——目的是(达到某种效果)。
【译文】:《指环王》系列电影的导演彼得·杰克逊采用了一种富有创意的方法——他运用巧妙的拍摄角度,使角色看起来比实际体型更大或更小。
【翻译】:
Meng Jinghui, director of stage plays, adopted a unique technique — he used exaggerated physical performance and poetic dialogue to make ordinary scenes seem surreal and metaphorical.
2. He talked to historians to ensure that the details were correct and even went down to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to see what was left of the ship for himself. (教材 p 3)
【结构解析】
这是一个由并列连词 and 连接的并列复合句。其结构如下:
1. 第一分句主干: He talked to historians. 目的状语:to ensure that the details were correct。其中包含一个由 that 引导的宾语从句,作 ensure 的宾语。
2. 并列连词:and
3. 第二分句主干: (he) even went down to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. 目的状语:to see what was left of the ship for himself。其中包含一个由 what 引导的宾语从句,作 see 的宾语。
整个句子通过 and 连接两个并列的行动(咨询史学家、潜入海底),每个行动都带有明确且程度递进的目的(确保准确、亲眼查看),生动地描绘了主人公为追求真实所付出的极致努力。
【译文】:他与历史学家交谈以确保细节准确无误,甚至亲自潜入大西洋海底去查看那艘船的残骸。
【翻译】:
The writer visited survivors of the battle to recreate the authentic historical atmosphere, and even went to the archives to consult classified telegrams from that year to verify the key dates.
3. Just as the poor passengers on the real Titanic saw the tip of the iceberg, what we see on the cinema screen is just the tip of the huge iceberg of film-making.(教材 p 3)
【结构解析】
这是一个由 Just as... 引导的复合句,核心结构为类比(明喻)。句子分为两个部分:Just as the poor passengers on the real Titanic saw the tip of the iceberg, 这是一个由 Just as (正如) 引导的方式状语从句,描述一个众所周知或生动的场景,作为类比的基础。
主句是what we see on the cinema screen is just the tip of the huge iceberg of film-making. 它的的主语是一个由 what 引导的名词性从句 (what we see...),谓语是 is,表语是 the tip of the huge iceberg of film-making。这里运用了隐喻,将“电影制作”比作“巨大的冰山”,将“我们在银幕上看到的”比作其“冰山一角”。
整个句子的逻辑是:通过一个经典、具体的意象(泰坦尼克与冰山)来生动地解释一个抽象、复杂的现象(电影制作的庞大与可见部分之少)。
【译文】:正如真实的泰坦尼克号上可怜的乘客只看到了冰山的顶端,我们在电影银幕上看到的也只是电影制作这座巨大冰山的顶端。
【翻译】:
Just as readers only appreciate the condensed language and elegant rhythm of a poem, what is presented is just the tip of the huge iceberg of the poet‘s prolonged contemplation and repeated revisions.
❖ 语法讲与练 ✎-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
英语主谓一致:让你的句子“团队协作”!
一、什么是主谓一致?
主谓一致就是指句子的谓语动词必须和主语在人称(第一、二、三人称)和数(单数、复数)上保持一致。简单说就是:单数主语配单数动词,复数主语配复数动词。
1. The cat sleeps on the sofa. 那只猫在沙发上睡觉。 (单数主语cat + 单数动词sleeps)
2. The cats sleep on the sofa. 那些猫在沙发上睡觉。 (复数主语cats + 复数动词sleep)
二、主谓一致的三大“黄金法则”
法则1:语法一致 —— “看外表”
规则:根据主语的语法形式决定动词单复数。
常见情况:
1. 单数主语 + 单数动词(加-s/-es)
My brother plays basketball every weekend. 我哥哥每周末都打篮球。
2. 复数主语 + 复数动词(不加-s/-es)
Many students enjoy this movie. 许多学生喜欢这部电影。
3. 不定代词(each, everyone, somebody等)作主语 → 永远用单数动词
Everybody has a dream. 每个人都有一个梦想。
Something is wrong with my phone. 我的手机有点问题。
法则2:意义一致 —— “看内涵”
规则: 根据主语表达的实际意义决定动词单复数。
常见情况:
1. 集体名词(family, team, class,group, team, staff, government, audience, committee等)强调整体 → 用单数
My family is very large. (把家庭看作一个整体) 我的家庭很大。
强调成员 → 用复数
My family are watching TV now. (指家人正在各自看电视) 我的家人正在看电视。
2. 表示“时间、金钱、距离”的词组作主语 → 通常看作整体,用单数
Ten dollars is enough for lunch. 十块钱吃午饭足够了。
Five kilometers is a long way to walk. 五公里走起来很长。
法则3:就近原则 —— “看邻居”
规则:当主语由or, either...or, neither...nor, not only...but also连接时,动词与最近的主语保持一致。
Neither the teacher nor the students know the answer. 老师和学生都不知道答案。
(最近的主语students是复数 → 用know)
Not only Tom but also his sister likes music. 不仅汤姆,他姐姐也喜欢音乐。
(最近的主语sister是单数 → 用likes)
三、必须记住的6条常见规则
规则1:and连接的两个主语
表示不同的人/物 → 用复数
Tom and Jerry are good friends. 汤姆和杰瑞是好朋友。
表示同一个人/物或一个概念 → 用单数
Bread and butter is my favorite breakfast. 涂黄油的面包是我最爱的早餐。(看作一种食物)
规则2:“名词+介词短语”主语
动词只跟主语核心名词一致,不管介词后面是什么!
One of the apples is rotten. 其中一个苹果烂了。 (主语是one,不是apples)
The books on the shelf need cleaning. 书架上的书需要清理。(主语是books,不是shelf)
规则3:“there be”句型
同样遵循就近原则!
There is a book and two pens on the desk. 桌子上有一本书和两支笔。
There are two pens and a book on the desk. 桌子上有两支笔和一本书。
规则4:不定式、动名词、从句作主语 → 用单数动词
Swimming is good for health. 游泳对健康有益。
What he said makes sense. 他说的话有道理。
规则5:“a number of” vs “the number of”
a number of + 复数名词(许多…)→ 用复数
A number of students are absent today. 今天许多学生缺席。
the number of + 复数名词(…的数量)→ 用单数
The number of students is increasing. 学生数量正在增加。
规则6:“each/every”修饰主语 → 用单数
Each boy and each girl has a gift. 每个男孩和每个女孩都有一份礼物。
Every student in our class likes English. 我们班每个学生都喜欢英语。
四、 将测巩固
1. The police ______ (is/are) looking for the lost child.
2. Neither you nor I ______ (am/is/are) wrong.
3. Five years ______ (has/have) passed since we met.
4. Reading novels ______ (make/makes) me happy.
5. The singer and dancer ______ (is/are) on the stage.

结论的推导
请再次仔细阅读课文Behind the scenes,回答以下问题,选出正确答案。
本文遵循“引言—主体—结论”的框架,逐步引导听众从熟悉的现象深入到陌生的幕后知识,最终升华主题。
一、 Behind the scenes文章结构
1. 引言段:引发共鸣,提出主题
开篇手法:以提问互动开头(“看电影时你首先注意什么?”),拉近与听众的距离。
功能:通过列举观众熟悉的元素(表演、音乐、布景),与后文要揭示的“幕后工作”形成对比。
核心论点:电影是大量幕后工作的产物,引出演讲主题——介绍观众不熟悉的电影制作环节。
2. 主体部分:并列分述三大幕后环节
主体部分采用平行并列结构,依次介绍三个关键幕后领域,每部分均遵循“观点—例证”模式:
(1)音效制作
观点:音效常后期添加,制作方式出人意料。
例证:
《侏罗纪公园》:恐龙吼叫由多种动物声音混合而成。
《星际迷航》:开门声来自抽纸声。
作用:揭示声音的“错觉艺术”,体现幕后创意。
(2)视觉特效
观点:CGI技术虽常用,但并非唯一方法。
例证:
《哈利·波特》:绿幕拍摄+CGI合成。
《指环王》:巧用摄影角度营造大小差异(实拍技巧)。
作用:展现技术多样性与电影人的创造力。
(3)道具制作
观点:道具需大量研究、制作以追求真实感。
例证:詹姆斯·卡梅隆为《泰坦尼克号》建造全尺寸模型的极致投入(研究图纸、咨询历史学家、实地考察、耗时耗力)。
作用:强调幕后工作的严谨性与人力物力的投入。
3. 结论段:升华主题,呼应开头
总结局限:承认演讲无法涵盖全部幕后工作。
核心比喻:用“冰山一角”比喻观众所见成片与庞大制作过程的关系,形象深刻。
呼吁与升华:希望观众今后观影时能想到幕后工作者,感谢他们的长期付出。
情感共鸣:将两小时的娱乐与数月甚至数年的工作对比,强化主题的感染力。
二、结构亮点
逻辑清晰:从“观众已知”引出“观众未知”,符合认知规律。
例证丰富:每个观点均配以经典电影案例,增强说服力与趣味性。
首尾呼应:开头提问引导思考,结尾呼吁升华主题,形成闭环。
比喻点睛:“冰山一角”的比喻将抽象概念具体化,令人印象深刻。
三、总结
这篇文章结构严谨、例证生动,通过层层递进的方式,成功揭示了电影幕后工作的复杂性与重要性,是一篇优秀的说明性演讲范文。

【学以致用】阅读短文,选择正确答案。
A young couple entered the restaurant in Andy’s view. They were holding hands. Andy sat back down in his chair. He felt sick. He turned and faced his father, who was eating xôi.
“What’s the matter, son?” asked his father. “I thought you were going to the birthday party.”
“It’s too late.”
“Are you sure?”
Andy nodded. He looked at the plate of xôi. He wanted to bury his face in it.
“Hi, Andy.” A voice came from behind.
Andy looked up. He recognized the beautiful face, and he refused to meet her eyes. “Hi, Jennifer,” muttered (抱怨,发牢骚) Andy, looking at the floor.
“You didn’t miss much, Andy. The party was dead. I was looking for you, hoping you could give me a ride home. Then I met Tim, and he was bored like me. And he said he’d take me home.... Andy, do you want to eat with us? I’ll introduce you to Tim.”
Andy said, “No, I’m eating xôi with my father.”
“Well, I’ll see you in school then, okay?”
“Yeah.” And Andy watched her socks move away from his view.
Andy grabbed a chunk of xôi. The rice and beans stuck to his fingernails. He placed the chunk in his mouth and pulled it away from his fingers with his teeth. There was a dry bitter taste. But nothing could be as bitter as he was, so he chewed some more. The bitterness faded as the xôi became softer in his mouth, but it was still tasteless. He could hear the young couple talk and giggle (咯咯笑). Their words and laughter and the sounds of his own chewing mixed into a sticky mess. The words were bitter and the laughter was tasteless, and once he began to understand this, he tasted the sweetness of xôi. Andy enjoyed swallowing the sticky mess down. Andy swallowed everything down—sweetness and bitterness and nothingness and what he thought was love.
1. Who is telling this story?
A. Jennifer B. Andy
C. Andy’s father D. An unnamed narrator
2. What is the most reasonable conclusion to make from the statement in the first paragraph, “He felt sick.”?
A. Eating xoi with his father gave Andy a stomachache.
B. Andy was upset when he saw Jennifer holding hands with Tim.
C. Andy was unhappy about the restaurant his father had selected.
D. Andy was upset with Jennifer for making him miss the party.
3. According to the passage, Tim would most likely describe the party as:
A. lively. B. dull. C. upsetting. D. remarkable.
4. Based on the last paragraph, it can be most reasonably inferred that Andy’s increasing enjoyment of eating xôi was related to:
A. hearing Tim and Jennifer laughing and talking.
B. the fact that it stuck to his fingernails.
C. sitting at a table with Tim and Jennifer while he ate.
D. the fact that his father made the xôi.
5. This passage is mainly about the relationship between:
A. Andy and his father. B. Andy and Tim.
C. Jennifer and Tim. D. Jennifer and Andy.

A Team in Tune
Ms. Lee, our drama teacher, attaches great importance to teamwork. This term’s play is set in a small village and was adapted into a script from a folk tale. Behind the scenes, she gave us a brief introduction to the story. "We must do justice to this tale," she said, sparing a thought for its deeper meaning.
My partner, Lily, and I needed to stay in time with the traditional music. I wasn't familiar with the rhythm, not to mention the dance steps. This difficulty was just the tip of the iceberg. Lily suggested we take a creative approach by practicing together after school. Soon, we had great chemistry with each other, which is typical of good partners.
Her lively performance held everyone's attention. On top of learning her own part well, she recommended a solution to our timing problem. We finally moved as straight as an arrow toward success. One evening, even the school bus driver pulled up to watch our smooth rehearsal through the open door.
默契团队

我的搭档莉莉和我需要与传统音乐保持同步。我不熟悉节奏,更不用说舞步了。这个困难只是冰山一角。莉莉建议我们采用一种创造性的方法:放学后一起练习。很快,我们就彼此非常默契,这正是好搭档的特点。
她生动的表演吸引了所有人的注意力。除了学好她自己的部分,她还针对我们的节奏问题推荐了一个解决办法。我们终于像箭一样直奔成功。一天傍晚,甚至连校车司机都停车通过敞开的门观看我们流畅的排练。
❖ 疑难长句 ✎-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Peter Jackson, director of The Lord of the Rings films, took a creative approach — he used clever camera angles to make characters seem bigger or smaller than they really were. (教材 p3)
【结构解析】
这是一个主从复合句。句子主干是 “Peter Jackson took a creative approach”。主句后接破折号引出补充说明部分 “he used clever camera angles...”,用于具体解释前面的“creative approach”。这部分中包含一个由 “to make” 引导的不定式短语作目的状语,而 “make” 的宾语补足语 “characters seem bigger or smaller than they really were” 中,又包含一个由 “than” 引导的比较状语从句 “than they really were”。整个句子的逻辑是:人物(做了某事)——具体方式是(通过某种方法)——目的是(达到某种效果)。
【译文】:《指环王》系列电影的导演彼得·杰克逊采用了一种富有创意的方法——他运用巧妙的拍摄角度,使角色看起来比实际体型更大或更小。
【翻译】:
Meng Jinghui, director of stage plays, adopted a unique technique — he used exaggerated physical performance and poetic dialogue to make ordinary scenes seem surreal and metaphorical.
舞台剧导演孟京辉采用了一种独特的手法——他运用夸张的肢体表演和诗化的台词,使日常场景显得超现实又充满隐喻。
2. He talked to historians to ensure that the details were correct and even went down to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to see what was left of the ship for himself. (教材 p 3)
【结构解析】
这是一个由并列连词 and 连接的并列复合句。其结构如下:
1. 第一分句主干: He talked to historians. 目的状语:to ensure that the details were correct。其中包含一个由 that 引导的宾语从句,作 ensure 的宾语。
2. 并列连词:and
3. 第二分句主干: (he) even went down to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. 目的状语:to see what was left of the ship for himself。其中包含一个由 what 引导的宾语从句,作 see 的宾语。
整个句子通过 and 连接两个并列的行动(咨询史学家、潜入海底),每个行动都带有明确且程度递进的目的(确保准确、亲眼查看),生动地描绘了主人公为追求真实所付出的极致努力。
【译文】:他与历史学家交谈以确保细节准确无误,甚至亲自潜入大西洋海底去查看那艘船的残骸。
【翻译】:
The writer visited survivors of the battle to recreate the authentic historical atmosphere, and even went to the archives to consult classified telegrams from that year to verify the key dates.
这位作家走访了战役亲历者以还原真实的历史氛围,甚至还去档案馆查阅了当年的绝密电报来核实关键日期。
3. Just as the poor passengers on the real Titanic saw the tip of the iceberg, what we see on the cinema screen is just the tip of the huge iceberg of film-making.(教材 p 3)
【结构解析】
这是一个由 Just as... 引导的复合句,核心结构为类比(明喻)。句子分为两个部分:Just as the poor passengers on the real Titanic saw the tip of the iceberg, 这是一个由 Just as (正如) 引导的方式状语从句,描述一个众所周知或生动的场景,作为类比的基础。
主句是what we see on the cinema screen is just the tip of the huge iceberg of film-making. 它的的主语是一个由 what 引导的名词性从句 (what we see...),谓语是 is,表语是 the tip of the huge iceberg of film-making。这里运用了隐喻,将“电影制作”比作“巨大的冰山”,将“我们在银幕上看到的”比作其“冰山一角”。
整个句子的逻辑是:通过一个经典、具体的意象(泰坦尼克与冰山)来生动地解释一个抽象、复杂的现象(电影制作的庞大与可见部分之少)。
【译文】:正如真实的泰坦尼克号上可怜的乘客只看到了冰山的顶端,我们在电影银幕上看到的也只是电影制作这座巨大冰山的顶端。
【翻译】:
Just as readers only appreciate the condensed language and elegant rhythm of a poem, what is presented is just the tip of the huge iceberg of the poet‘s prolonged contemplation and repeated revisions.
正如读者只欣赏到一首诗歌凝练的语言与优美的韵律,其所呈现的只是诗人漫长思考与反复修改这座冰山的顶端。
❖ 语法讲与练 ✎-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
英语主谓一致:让你的句子“团队协作”!
一、什么是主谓一致?
主谓一致就是指句子的谓语动词必须和主语在人称(第一、二、三人称)和数(单数、复数)上保持一致。简单说就是:单数主语配单数动词,复数主语配复数动词。
1. The cat sleeps on the sofa. 那只猫在沙发上睡觉。 (单数主语cat + 单数动词sleeps)
2. The cats sleep on the sofa. 那些猫在沙发上睡觉。 (复数主语cats + 复数动词sleep)
二、主谓一致的三大“黄金法则”
法则1:语法一致 —— “看外表”
规则:根据主语的语法形式决定动词单复数。
常见情况:
1. 单数主语 + 单数动词(加-s/-es)
My brother plays basketball every weekend. 我哥哥每周末都打篮球。
2. 复数主语 + 复数动词(不加-s/-es)
Many students enjoy this movie. 许多学生喜欢这部电影。
3. 不定代词(each, everyone, somebody等)作主语 → 永远用单数动词
Everybody has a dream. 每个人都有一个梦想。
Something is wrong with my phone. 我的手机有点问题。
法则2:意义一致 —— “看内涵”
规则: 根据主语表达的实际意义决定动词单复数。
常见情况:
1. 集体名词(family, team, class,group, team, staff, government, audience, committee等)强调整体 → 用单数
My family is very large. (把家庭看作一个整体) 我的家庭很大。
强调成员 → 用复数
My family are watching TV now. (指家人正在各自看电视) 我的家人正在看电视。
2. 表示“时间、金钱、距离”的词组作主语 → 通常看作整体,用单数
Ten dollars is enough for lunch. 十块钱吃午饭足够了。
Five kilometers is a long way to walk. 五公里走起来很长。
法则3:就近原则 —— “看邻居”
规则:当主语由or, either...or, neither...nor, not only...but also连接时,动词与最近的主语保持一致。
Neither the teacher nor the students know the answer. 老师和学生都不知道答案。
(最近的主语students是复数 → 用know)
Not only Tom but also his sister likes music. 不仅汤姆,他姐姐也喜欢音乐。
(最近的主语sister是单数 → 用likes)
三、必须记住的6条常见规则
规则1:and连接的两个主语
表示不同的人/物 → 用复数
Tom and Jerry are good friends. 汤姆和杰瑞是好朋友。
表示同一个人/物或一个概念 → 用单数
Bread and butter is my favorite breakfast. 涂黄油的面包是我最爱的早餐。(看作一种食物)
规则2:“名词+介词短语”主语
动词只跟主语核心名词一致,不管介词后面是什么!
One of the apples is rotten. 其中一个苹果烂了。 (主语是one,不是apples)
The books on the shelf need cleaning. 书架上的书需要清理。(主语是books,不是shelf)
规则3:“there be”句型
同样遵循就近原则!
There is a book and two pens on the desk. 桌子上有一本书和两支笔。
There are two pens and a book on the desk. 桌子上有两支笔和一本书。
规则4:不定式、动名词、从句作主语 → 用单数动词
Swimming is good for health. 游泳对健康有益。
What he said makes sense. 他说的话有道理。
规则5:“a number of” vs “the number of”
a number of + 复数名词(许多…)→ 用复数
A number of students are absent today. 今天许多学生缺席。
the number of + 复数名词(…的数量)→ 用单数
The number of students is increasing. 学生数量正在增加。
规则6:“each/every”修饰主语 → 用单数
Each boy and each girl has a gift. 每个男孩和每个女孩都有一份礼物。
Every student in our class likes English. 我们班每个学生都喜欢英语。

❖ 高考真题再现 ✎--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. (2025年全国高考一卷) “The players' personalities 57._____ (reveal) during the game, and one's weaknesses are exposed to the opponent,” she adds. “A decent winner always 58. _______ (try) to beat the opponent by no more than one or two points as a gesture (姿态) of respect for the other side. ”
【答案】are revealed; tries
【解析】
第一空:主语 "The players' personalities"(复数)与动词之间是被动关系(性格在比赛中“被”展现),且前后句均为一般现在时描述普遍事实,因此需用一般现在时的被动语态复数形式 are revealed。
第二空:主语 "A decent winner"(单数)是一般现在时描述的普遍行为,且空格后是动词原形 "beat",可知需填入谓语动词第三人称单数形式 tries。
【译文】
“球员的个性在比赛中得以展现,个人的弱点也会暴露给对手,”她补充道,“一位体面的赢家总会尽量仅以一、两分的优势战胜对手,以此作为对另一方的尊重姿态。”
2. (2025年全国高考二卷) I've experienced things that really surprise me at times. The “sunshine scent (香味)” of freshly sunned clothes 41. _______(be) one of them.
【答案】is
【解析】
主语 "The 'sunshine scent' of freshly sunned clothes" 是一个单数概念(“气味”不可数),且上文 “I've experienced” 为现在完成时,本句是对“气味”这一客观事实的描述,应使用一般现在时单数形式 is。
3. (2025年全国高考二卷)ⅠIf you've never experienced the “sunshine scent” from a sheet or shirt 45._____ (leave) to sun for a day, well, you're missing out on one of life's wonders.
【答案】left
【解析】
空格前 "a sheet or shirt" 与空格后 "to sun for a day" 构成被动关系(衣物“被”晾晒在阳光下),此处作后置定语修饰名词,相当于定语从句 "which is left to sun...",因此用过去分词 left 表被动和完成状态。
4. (2025年1月浙江首考) The concept 62.______ (be) certainly not new—men have been renting good suits for decades—but for female shoppers, it is just taking off.
【答案】is
【解析】
句子主干是 "The concept... not new, but... it is just taking off",空格位于系动词位置,主语 "The concept" 为单数,且下文用现在时 "is taking off",因此用一般现在时单数形式 is。
5. (2025年1月浙江首考) I By the time you brushed your teeth, you 15._____ (make) several decisions even without noticing. Some choices are quick, while others take more thought. Usually, better outcomes 16._______ (achieve) through a thorough understanding of strategies like risk tolerance.
【答案】had made; are achieved
【解析】
第一空:时间状语 "By the time you brushed your teeth" 表示“到过去某一时间(刷牙时)为止”,描述在过去之前已完成的动作,应用过去完成时 had made。
第二空:主语 "better outcomes"(复数)与动词 "achieve" 之间是被动关系(结果“被”达成),且句子描述一般情况,需用一般现在时的被动语态复数形式 are achieved。
❖ 阅读微技能 ✎-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
结论的推导
请再次仔细阅读课文Behind the scenes,回答以下问题,选出正确答案。
本文遵循“引言—主体—结论”的框架,逐步引导听众从熟悉的现象深入到陌生的幕后知识,最终升华主题。
一、 Behind the scenes文章结构
1. 引言段:引发共鸣,提出主题
开篇手法:以提问互动开头(“看电影时你首先注意什么?”),拉近与听众的距离。
功能:通过列举观众熟悉的元素(表演、音乐、布景),与后文要揭示的“幕后工作”形成对比。
核心论点:电影是大量幕后工作的产物,引出演讲主题——介绍观众不熟悉的电影制作环节。
2. 主体部分:并列分述三大幕后环节
主体部分采用平行并列结构,依次介绍三个关键幕后领域,每部分均遵循“观点—例证”模式:
(1)音效制作
观点:音效常后期添加,制作方式出人意料。
例证:
《侏罗纪公园》:恐龙吼叫由多种动物声音混合而成。
《星际迷航》:开门声来自抽纸声。
作用:揭示声音的“错觉艺术”,体现幕后创意。
(2)视觉特效
观点:CGI技术虽常用,但并非唯一方法。
例证:
《哈利·波特》:绿幕拍摄+CGI合成。
《指环王》:巧用摄影角度营造大小差异(实拍技巧)。
作用:展现技术多样性与电影人的创造力。
(3)道具制作
观点:道具需大量研究、制作以追求真实感。
例证:詹姆斯·卡梅隆为《泰坦尼克号》建造全尺寸模型的极致投入(研究图纸、咨询历史学家、实地考察、耗时耗力)。
作用:强调幕后工作的严谨性与人力物力的投入。
3. 结论段:升华主题,呼应开头
总结局限:承认演讲无法涵盖全部幕后工作。
核心比喻:用“冰山一角”比喻观众所见成片与庞大制作过程的关系,形象深刻。
呼吁与升华:希望观众今后观影时能想到幕后工作者,感谢他们的长期付出。
情感共鸣:将两小时的娱乐与数月甚至数年的工作对比,强化主题的感染力。
二、结构亮点
逻辑清晰:从“观众已知”引出“观众未知”,符合认知规律。
例证丰富:每个观点均配以经典电影案例,增强说服力与趣味性。
首尾呼应:开头提问引导思考,结尾呼吁升华主题,形成闭环。
比喻点睛:“冰山一角”的比喻将抽象概念具体化,令人印象深刻。
三、总结
这篇文章结构严谨、例证生动,通过层层递进的方式,成功揭示了电影幕后工作的复杂性与重要性,是一篇优秀的说明性演讲范文。
1. Based on the overall passage, what can be concluded about filmmaking?
A. Most work happens before and after filming.
B. Acting and music are the most important parts.
C. Computers are now used for all special effects.
D. Audiences usually know how films are made.
【答案】A
【解析】 文章开篇指出电影是大量幕后工作的产物,结尾又用“冰山一角”来比喻观众所见与全部工作的关系,因此可得出结论:电影制作的大部分工作发生在拍摄之前(如道具、研究)和之后(如音效、CGI)。B项与文章强调幕后工作的主旨不符;C项与第三段中彼得·杰克逊使用传统摄影技巧的例子矛盾;D项与作者介绍“观众可能不熟悉的方面”这一意图相反。
2. From the description of sound effects, what can be inferred?
A. They must always be recorded during the scene.
B. They are often created in simple or surprising ways.
C. They are the most expensive part of filmmaking.
D. Modern films use only digital sound effects.
【答案】 B
【解析】 第二段明确指出音效常在拍摄后添加,且制作方式常出人意料,例如用动物声音混合成恐龙吼叫、用抽纸声模拟开门声。这说明音效制作常通过简单或富有创意的方式完成。A项与“often added after a scene has been shot”矛盾;C项“最昂贵”在文中未提及;D项“仅使用数字音效”过于绝对,且与抽纸声的例子不符。
3. What conclusion can be drawn about CGI and practical effects?
A. CGI is always better than practical methods.
B. Filmmakers choose techniques based on the scene's needs.
C. Green screens are being replaced by new technology.
D. Audiences prefer not to see any CGI in films.
【答案】B
【解析】 第三段在介绍CGI的普遍应用后,用“However”转折,以彼得·杰克逊在《指环王》中使用巧妙摄影角度为例,说明电脑并非总是首选。这表明电影制作者会根据场景的具体需求和创意意图选择合适的技术(CGI或实拍技巧)。A项与文章内容相反;C项“正被取代”未提及;D项“观众不喜欢CGI”属于无依据推断。
4. Regarding props, as illustrated by the Titanic example, what is likely true?
A. Historical accuracy is sometimes extremely important.
B. Props are usually bought rather than built.
C. Digital models are now used for all large props.
D. Directors rarely research props personally.
【答案】 A
【解析】 第四段以詹姆斯·卡梅隆为例,描述他花费六个月研究泰坦尼克号图纸、咨询历史学家、甚至潜入海底查看残骸,只为建造一个精准的全尺寸模型。这说明在某些电影(尤其是历史题材)中,道具的真实性和历史准确性会被极度重视。B项与“great effort must... build objects”矛盾;C项“所有大型道具都用数字模型”与文中建造实体模型的例子不符;D项与卡梅隆亲自研究的例子直接相反。
5. What does the “tip of the iceberg” analogy imply about the audience's experience?
A. They see only a small part of the total work involved.
B. Most films are about disasters like the Titanic.
C. The final product is usually disappointing.
D. Behind-the-scenes work is not very important.
【答案】 A
【解析】 文章结尾明确将观众在银幕上看到的成片比作“冰山的顶端”,而电影制作庞大而复杂的过程则是隐藏在水下的“巨大冰山”。这直接暗示观众所见的只是全部工作中极小的一部分。B项是对比喻的字面曲解;C项“令人失望”与文章表达的赞赏之情不符;D项与全文主旨“幕后工作至关重要”完全相反。
【学以致用】阅读短文,选择正确答案。
A young couple entered the restaurant in Andy’s view. They were holding hands. Andy sat back down in his chair. He felt sick. He turned and faced his father, who was eating xôi.
“What’s the matter, son?” asked his father. “I thought you were going to the birthday party.”
“It’s too late.”
“Are you sure?”
Andy nodded. He looked at the plate of xôi. He wanted to bury his face in it.
“Hi, Andy.” A voice came from behind.
Andy looked up. He recognized the beautiful face, and he refused to meet her eyes. “Hi, Jennifer,” muttered (抱怨,发牢骚) Andy, looking at the floor.
“You didn’t miss much, Andy. The party was dead. I was looking for you, hoping you could give me a ride home. Then I met Tim, and he was bored like me. And he said he’d take me home.... Andy, do you want to eat with us? I’ll introduce you to Tim.”
Andy said, “No, I’m eating xôi with my father.”
“Well, I’ll see you in school then, okay?”
“Yeah.” And Andy watched her socks move away from his view.
Andy grabbed a chunk of xôi. The rice and beans stuck to his fingernails. He placed the chunk in his mouth and pulled it away from his fingers with his teeth. There was a dry bitter taste. But nothing could be as bitter as he was, so he chewed some more. The bitterness faded as the xôi became softer in his mouth, but it was still tasteless. He could hear the young couple talk and giggle (咯咯笑). Their words and laughter and the sounds of his own chewing mixed into a sticky mess. The words were bitter and the laughter was tasteless, and once he began to understand this, he tasted the sweetness of xôi. Andy enjoyed swallowing the sticky mess down. Andy swallowed everything down—sweetness and bitterness and nothingness and what he thought was love.
1. Who is telling this story?
A. Jennifer B. Andy
C. Andy’s father D. An unnamed narrator
答案】D
【解析】全文使用第三人称视角(如“Andy sat back down”“He felt sick”),聚焦于Andy的动作、感受和心理活动,但叙述者并未参与情节,是一个客观的外部叙述者。A、B、C三个选项均为故事中的具体人物,但均未以第一人称“我”展开叙述,因此不可能是故事的讲述者。2. What is the most reasonable conclusion to make from the statement in the first paragraph, “He felt sick.”?
A. Eating xoi with his father gave Andy a stomachache.
B. Andy was upset when he saw Jennifer holding hands with Tim.
C. Andy was unhappy about the restaurant his father had selected.
D. Andy was upset with Jennifer for making him miss the party.
【答案】B
【解析】第一段中,Andy在看到一对年轻情侣牵手后感到“恶心”(sick),结合后文Jennifer与Tim一同出现,可合理推断Andy对Jennifer怀有好感,因此见到她和别人亲密时感到情绪不适。A项(吃粽子导致胃疼)与上下文无关;C项(对餐厅不满)无文本依据;D项(因Jennifer错过聚会而生气)与后文矛盾——Andy未去聚会是自己说“太晚了”,且Jennifer曾主动找他。
3. According to the passage, Tim would most likely describe the party as:
A. lively. B. dull. C. upsetting. D. remarkable.
【答案】B
【解析】文中Jennifer对Andy说“The party was dead”,并提到Tim“was bored like me”,可见二人都认为派对沉闷无聊。A项(热闹)与“dead”相反;C项(令人沮丧)虽带有负面情绪,但更接近“失望”而非“无聊”;D项(出色)与原文明显矛盾。
4. Based on the last paragraph, it can be most reasonably inferred that Andy’s increasing enjoyment of eating xôi was related to:
A. hearing Tim and Jennifer laughing and talking.
B. the fact that it stuck to his fingernails.
C. sitting at a table with Tim and Jennifer while he ate.
D. the fact that his father made the xôi.
【答案】A
【解析】最后一段详细描写了Andy咀嚼粽子时听觉与味觉的交织:他听到情侣谈笑,起初感到苦涩无味,随后逐渐尝到甜味并享受吞咽。这一过程与他消化现实、接受情感挫折的心理变化同步,说明他的享受与“听到Tim和Jennifer说笑”直接相关,象征着他从痛苦中释然。B项(粘手)是无关细节;C项(同坐一桌)与事实不符;D项(父亲制作)无文本支持。5. This passage is mainly about the relationship between:
A. Andy and his father. B. Andy and Tim.
C. Jennifer and Tim. D. Jennifer and Andy.
【答案】D
【解析】全文主线围绕Andy对Jennifer的暗恋、失落与内心释然展开。从他看到情侣时的“sick”,到回避Jennifer的目光、拒绝同坐,再到最后通过咀嚼粽子吞咽“自以为是的爱情”,所有情节和细腻的心理描写都聚焦于Andy对Jennifer的单向情感。A项(父子关系)作为背景出现,但非核心;B项(Andy与Tim)几乎无直接互动;C项(Jennifer与Tim)是推动Andy情感变化的背景情节,但并非描写重点。
