B
He runs from explosions, drives over waterfalls and jumps from tall buildings. That might sound like a superman, but stuntman (特技演员) Vince Deadrick Jr. is very much human.
As a stuntman in movies and television shows, Deadrick admits he's no stranger to getting hurt. He has suffered broken bones, bled, gotten knocked out and nearly fallen to death, but he considers himself lucky to be alive after some of the stunts he has performed.
Deadrick has been a stunt coordinator (协调员) for the Nickelodeon channel for 12 years. He has worked with famous actors, directors and producers, and he has travelled all over the world. But that doesn't mean his work is easy.
It took him years of hard work to get where he is today.Deadrick's father, Vince Deadrick Sr., was also a stuntman,but his family connection didn't give Deadrick a free pass into the movie business. He learned from his dad how to set up cardboard boxes and fall mats for high falls, and he started training on his own once he decided to follow in his father's footsteps.
As a stunt coordinator, Deadrick takes danger seriously.When he hires a new stunt performer, he looks for a professional (专业人士).
“You're only as good as the people you hire,” he says.A stuntman needs to know his own abilities and limitations so he won't shy away from doing his best but also won't be such a daredevil (铤而走险的人) that he could hurt himself or others.
When the actors and stuntmen are going to do something dangerous, they need to know they're trusting the right person. With over 40 years in the business, Deadrick is an expert at making stunts both realistic and safe. Though he has a large amount of responsibility, Deadrick loves his job.
“I'm in a position where I have to make decisions on risk factors, keeping the actors and stuntmen safe while still making it look impressive. I love my business, and I love the excitement.”
5.It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that Deadrick is ________ .
A.careless B.unfortunate
C.optimistic D.generous
6.What do we know about Deadrick's path to success?
A.He learned his stunt skills from a stuntman.
B.He made it with hard work and great effort.
C.His dad offered him great encouragement.
D.His dad led him into the movie business.
7.When hiring stuntmen, Deadrick ________ .
A.is very careful
B.prefers the fearless ones
C.likes those with no limitations
D.puts experience above all else
8.What does Deadrick think of his job?
A.Hard and boring.
B.Easy and attractive.
C.Skilled but relaxing.
D.Challenging but exciting.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了特技演员Vince Deadrick Jr.的职业生涯。
5.C [推理判断题。根据第二段中“He has suffered broken bones,bled...but he considers himself lucky to be alive...”可知,他曾骨折、失血……他认为自己能活下来是幸运的,所以他是乐观的。故选C。]
6.B [细节理解题。根据第四段中“It took him years of hard work to get where he is today.(他经过多年的努力才取得今天的成就)”可知,Deadrick通过努力工作而成功了。故选B。]
7.A [推理判断题。根据第五段“As a stunt coordinator,Deadrick takes danger seriously.When he hires a new stunt performer,he looks for a professional(专业人士).”可知,作为一名特技协调员,Deadrick非常重视危险,当雇用新的特技演员时,他会寻找专业人士,这说明他是非常小心的。故选A。]
8.D [推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Though he has a large amount of responsibility,Deadrick loves his job.”及最后一段中“I love my business,and I love the excitement.”可知,Deadrick认为他的工作是具有挑战性但令人兴奋的。故选D。]
