Section Ⅴ　“Extended reading”的课文习读环节 [课时检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Because of the “Yunnan Elephant”， many people have developed a strong interest in elephants, and it has also aroused a heated discussion about how man and nature should share the earth and live in harmony. In this issue of “Weekend Cinema”， Yingda has brought four documentaries related to this. The Secret Life of Elephants The Secret Life of Elephants is a nature documentary series following the lives of elephants and the work of the conservation charity Save the Elephants in Samburu National Reserve, Kenya. It was first released in the United Kingdom on a broadcast platform in January 2009 to 4.2 million viewers. The team follow the dramatic and emotional stories of 500 plus individually known elephants. Penguin Town The series is filmed in Simon's Town, South Africa, where these adorable African penguins wander close by to people, strolling down the sidewalk, passing sunbathers on the beach. The series follows various penguin couples. With great humour, their love stories are told, and you follow the adventures of these penguin couples starting families and having chicks. Seven Worlds, One Planet Millions of years ago incredible forces tore apart the Earth's crust (地壳), creating seven extraordinary continents, each with its own distinct climate, its own distinct terrain (地形) and its own unique animal life. Seven Worlds, One Planet explores the natural wonders that give each of our continents its distinct character. Following the animals that have made these environments their home, it discovers amazing wildlife stories that uncover what makes each of these seven worlds unique. Bears on Top of the World This moving film reveals the differing fortunes of a mother polar bear, a mother bear and their newborn babies, in a rapidly changing world. This is a remarkable story of how bears, ever intelligent, are adapting to a warming world. 语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四部有关人与自然如何共享地球以及和谐共处的纪录片。 1．If you are interested in documentaries with funny languages, which film do you prefer？ A．The Secret Life of Elephants.

It was a drama called Cinderella that actually turned out to be very comical.The person who directed that drama seemed to mainly train the students to memorize the dialogues which were well performed by them. But what did the performers wear？While Cinderella was a cute little girl, she did not wear anything beautiful at the ball.She wore house slippers (拖鞋), and one of her slippers couldn't come off her foot when she was running away after midnight from the ball.She tried many times to take it off and finally it dropped and she ran away from the stage. That missing slipper was found by a prince, who was actually a girl, dressed up as a boy but not looking like a boy.She held it up.Feeling a deep sense of shame, she acted her part showing it to the audience.More mistakes in the drama were that Cinderella's stepsisters were poorly dressed too at the ball and neither her stepsisters nor their mom looked like bad guys. In the end, a fairy tale drama turned out to be a funny play and everyone had hearty laughs.Since it could give so much fun to the audience, it was not altogether a failure.And the audience laughed loudly as the drama ended, giving performers encouragement. Cultural programs like this are needed for school students.Students don't need any special skills and the programs don't have to be fully perfect.They need to be organized in schools so that students can take part, share laughs and free their minds. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了学生时代令自己印象深刻的一个戏剧表演。 4．What does the underlined word “comical” in paragraph 2 mean？ A．Funny.　　　　　　　 B．Important. C．Moving. D．Meaningful. 解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据第一段最后一句中的“made me laugh a lot”及第三、四段介绍的表演情况可知，这部戏剧最后变得很滑稽，故可推测comical意为“滑稽可笑的”，与A项意义相近。 5．What does the author show most in paragraphs 3 and 4？ A．The meaning of the drama. B．The imperfections of the drama. C．The audience's opinions about the drama. D．The students' preparations for the drama. 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第三、四段的内容可知，这两段都是在描述《灰姑娘》这场戏剧演出的种种不足，从演员不恰当的着装到演员不恰当的表演，尤其根据第四段最后一句中的“More mistakes in the drama were that”可以看出，作者在这两段中主要展示了这部戏剧的不足之处。 6．How did the audience feel about the drama？ A．They disliked it. B．They felt sorry for it. C．They were surprised by it. D．They enjoyed it very much. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的内容可知，虽然演员们的着装以及表演有一些不足，一场童话剧变成了一场搞笑的喜剧，但大家的表演令所有的观众捧腹大笑并报以热烈的掌声，这说明观众是非常喜欢这场演出的。 7．What does the author want to tell us through the text？ A．Cultural programs need improvement. B．It's easy to carry out cultural programs. C．Schools should organize cultural programs. D．Students are very inactive in cultural programs. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，作者通过描述自己学生时代观看的一场戏剧演出，主要想表达的是：学校很有必要为学生组织类似的文化活动，因为这样的活动能让学生参与其中，分享快乐并解放思想。 C A recent trend in the entertainment world is to adapt classic works of literature for either TV plays or the movies.One argument is that this is to everyone's benefit, as it introduces people to works they might otherwise never have experienced, while others say that turning books into movies not only cheapens the original, but is rarely done successfully.So what do you think？ In the past few years, we have seen several classic works of literature were adapted into movies.Many people believe that turning a novel into a film is a great idea, but some obviously think otherwise.According to the_latter, translating classic works into movies destroys its originality and credibility.In my opinion, literary works can get translated into the screens effectively. The main challenge that filmmakers face while turning a classic work into a movie is its imaginary world.Generally, the perception (见解) of the book's imaginary world differs from person to person.And it's quite challenging to put all these different perceptions in one frame.But modern technology has made this challenge achievable.For example, the filmmakers used visual effects to successfully adapt Jurassic Park movies so visually attractive that their perception of Jurassic Park changed.Therefore, literary works can be translated into films through technical means. Also, while making a film, the main focus of makers always remains on the main plotline and characters.But for movies based on literary works, this issue is not there as these movies carry the same basic plotline as it is present in the books.Therefore, directors do not have to spend much time and imagination on the plot of the movie, which makes the adaptation quite easy. Based on the above arguments, I believe that it is quite possible to make a beautiful movie based on a classic work using modern technologies and a writer's imagination. 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。作者就娱乐界将经典文学作品搬上荧屏这一趋势进行了论述。 8．What does the underlined part “the latter” in the second paragraph refer to？ A．People who can translate literary works into the screens. B．People who often enjoy reading classic works of literature into screens. C．People who think it's not a good idea to adapt classic works of literature into screens. D．People who agree with adapting classic works of literature into screens. 解析：选C　代词指代题。根据第二段中“Many people believe that turning a novel into a film is a great idea，but some obviously think otherwise.”可知，“the latter(后者)”指代“认为把经典文学作品改编成电影不是个好主意的人”。 9．What is the main difficulty when adapting classics into screens according to the author？ A．Adapting literary works into films effectively. B．Presenting the imaginary of classic works on screens. C．The different perception of the book's imaginary world. D．The use of modern technology in adapting classic works. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，将经典作品中虚构的世界呈现在银幕上是主要的挑战。 10．Why does the author mention the adaptation of Jurassic Park？ A．To present an example to prove that classic works are out of date. B．To confirm adapting classic works into screens is really important. C．To describe the successful use of modern technology in making films. D．To prove that adapting literary works into screens can be successful. 解析：选D　推理判断题。第三段第一句提到将经典作品中虚构的世界呈现在银幕上是主要的挑战。根据第三段中“But modern technology has made this challenge achievable.”可知，现代技术使这一挑战成为可能。因此，作者以《侏罗纪公园》为例，说明能够通过技术手段有效地改编文学著作。 11．What is the author's attitude towards adapting classics？ A．Critical.　　　　　　 B．Objective. C．Indifferent. D．Supportive. 解析：选D　观点态度题。根据第二段最后一句以及最后一段内容可知，作者对有效地把文学著作搬到银幕上持支持态度。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Why Do Adults Love Animated Movies？ You go home from work. You are tired, and want to sit in front of the TV, watching something fun. Your children want the same. What is better than an animated film？ Both children and most adults love animation. Of course, there are animated movies that are directed specially to adults. __12__ So, why do adults like cartoons so much？ They have well-written characters. There are plenty of reasons. First and foremost, a lot of them are really good. __13__ Screenwriters, designers, programmers and musicians are all working together to bring the best outcome to the big screen. And usually, they succeed. Animated films have well-written characters facing complicated situations. Sometimes the scripts are even better than those in adult films. So, it comes as no surprise that animated films appeal to grown-ups as well. __14__ Remember the time when you were a child and used to sit in front of the TV enjoying cartoons？ Animated films bring out that specific feeling of our childhood. Moreover, they reveal our inner child. By watching an animated movie, we forget the monotony (单调乏味) of everyday life and leave our problems behind. We love heroes. Almost every cartoon has something to do with the journey of a character. A journey towards adulthood, or towards finding oneself, or succeeding in a quest. __15__ A hero that overcomes all obstacles trying to find true meaning and happiness in his or her existence？ Plenty of times, the characters in animated films are bigger-than-life and that's what we need in order to believe in humans again. They are treats for adults. Animated films are made for children, but sometimes film-makers decide to put something for adults as well: Shrek, for example, has scenes with a sense of humour that is addressed mainly to grown-ups. __16__ And it's a really successful practice. A．They bring out the child in us. B．Anything can happen in childhood. C．And who doesn't love a hero like that？ D．Talents work together in producing animated films. E．We applaud those characters because they remind us of ourselves. F．And there is also the chance that adults will love a kid's movie more. G．It's a treat that aims to help parents enjoy their time in the animated films as well. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。孩子和大多数成年人都喜欢动画。文章主要就成年人喜欢动画片的原因进行了说明。 12．解析：选F　根据后文“那么，为什么成年人这么喜欢动画片呢？”可知，成年人也喜欢儿童电影。故F项“而且成年人也有可能会更喜欢儿童电影”符合语境。 13．解析：选D　根据后文“编剧、设计师、程序员和音乐家都在一起努力，将最好的结果呈现在大屏幕上”可知，本句想表达的是动画电影是各种人才一起制作的。故D项“人才共同制作动画电影”衔接下文，符合语境。 14．解析：选A　本句为本段小标题。根据本段内容可知，动画电影能激发成年人内心的童真。故A项“它们激发了我们内心的童真”能概括本段内容。 15．解析：选C　根据后文“一个克服了所有障碍，试图在他或她的生活中找到真正意义和幸福的英雄？”可知，空处也应是反问句，故C项“谁不喜欢这样的英雄呢？”符合语境。 16．解析：选G　根据本段小标题“They are treats for adults.”及空处上文“put something for adults as well”可知，G项的“It's a treat”与小标题呼应，且It指上文的加入成人元素这一行为，故G项符合语境。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
