整个舞蹈过程。
ll.A根据上文“Nuala left the hospital on crutches'”可知,
她们在想办法让努阿拉能够拄着拐杖(crutches)跳舞。
l2.D根据上文“The spring dance performance was
two weeks away..”可知,她们要进行一场舞蹈表演,因此
此处指演出(performance)?当晚。
l3.C根据上文“I look stupid,’she

想这样做,由此可知,常老师几乎不得不把努阿拉推上

【语篇解读】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了英国皇家莎
士比亚剧团以《仲夏夜之梦》为灵感来源,运用虚拟现实技术
创作出了一部名为《梦》的新剧,可以让观众参与到剧中,影
响剧情的发展。
l.D细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“The difference
this time is that everything in the playthe performers
and their surroundings-was shown virtually..(这次的不
同之处在于,剧中的一切—演员和他们周围的环境一
都以虚拟的形式呈现)”可知,《梦》和《暴风雨》的不同之处
在于剧中一切的呈现方式。故选D。
2.C主旨大意题。第三段提到七名演员在一个专门建造的
演播室里表演,他们被由47台摄像机组成的360度摄像机
组包围,每个动作几乎都是立即以数字方式呈现,并在网
上呈现给观众。由此可知,此处介绍了这部刷的拍摄过
程。故选C。
3.A词义猜测题。第四段提到每次演出,受邀参与的观众
以一团小萤火虫的形式出现,通过用他们的鼠标或手指来
在屏幕上移动萤火虫,引领帕克穿越森林。由此可知,帕
克是听从观众的指令来穿越虚拟的空间。因此be at their
beck and call的意思是“准备好听从他们的命令”。故
选A。
4.D推理判断题。根据最后一段中E.M.Williams说的
话可知,他认为没有萤火虫(观众),帕克就不会去任何地
方,观众是这部剧的燃料和能量。由此可知,他的话表明
观众是非常重要的。故选D。

One day,the ballet teacher in her school was late.
Melanie was asked to keep an eye on the girls so that they
·8
would behave themselves.Once inside the ballet room,all
her old memories flooded back.She couldn't control herself
anymore.She started teaching some steps to the girls and
then carried on dancing herself for some time.Unaware of the
time and the people around her,Melanie was lost in her own
little dancing world.
“What a perfect dance,Melanie!You are a true
ballerina !said the ballet teacher entering the classroom.
Hearing her voice,Melanie stopped dancing.She was
embarrassed to see the teacher in front of her and was at a
loss for words.This was the first time that someone had said
she was a wonderful dancer.Then the teacher,who was
shocked to see Melanie's amazing skills,asked Melanie to
visit a dance trainer with her.There has been no looking back
for Melanie since then.Today,Melanie is a world-famous
ballet dancer.

Ryan Finley is a sketch card artist for
Topps and an art teacher at Beck Center,Ohio.
Ryan and his 10-year-old daughter,Keira,
recently showed their artistic gifts at a Beck
Center exhibit."Side by Side:The Art of Ryan
and Keira Finley"includes the pair's artistic
expression of the same things.
I first met the Finleys when I was a
student in Ryan's class.Keira,now a fourth
grader,has been creating art since she was a
young child."She was always next to me,lying
on the ground drawing,"Ryan remembered.
Keira's love for art continued,and she
became a student in Ryan's class at Beck
Center.Keira said,“The best part of‘Side by
Side',was having friends and classmates come
to see the exhibit.I loved walking around with
my dad and talking to everybody.
Keira told local news media that she'd love
art even if her dad had a different job."If my
dad wasn't an artist,”she said,“I'd still
probably be doing this.
Ryan's interest in art also began in
childhood."I'd always be drawing when I
wasn't supposed to be,”he said.“I'd get notes
all the time saying,'You need to focus more
on your work.’”
2
That interest never left him."In high
school,I took every art class I could possibly
take,he said.When asked what he liked best
about his job,Ryan was quite certain."Surely
the art show I just had with Keira,"he said.
"It's hard to even put into words.It's pretty
touching.”
Ryan also loves working with students."I
do my best to make sure that they're having
fun with what they're doing,”he said.“My
favorite part is seeing the growth of students."

Toy Story,Cars,Finding Nemo,Wall-
E,Up-you have probably watched all these
films.1 Let's go through the process of
creating a cartoon film.
Creating the storyboard
The first step is to write down the main
ideas of the story.2 Based on the
storyboard,the art department creates the first
draft for the characters,their clothing and
emotions,and the design sets.
Making characters using 3D modelling
A special computer program is used to
create 3D shapes of the characters,sets and
props-this is called modelling.3 Special
equipment is used to record points on these
shapes.This information is then sent to a
software program which recreates the 3D shape.
Making them move
The layout crew(摄影构图组)decide how
these characters should move and then the
cartoonists take over.They use 3D software to
create the movements of each character,the
skeleton's (movements,facial expressions
2
and more,between key frames (in the
story.4
Dressing up for the show
The sets and props are“dressed”according to
the designs laid out by the art department.The
skin and hair for the characters,their costumes
as well as special lighting effects such as
shadows,shining reflections are also created.
Letting the show begin
5 The computers draw each frame one
by one,with each frame slightly different from
the previous one.Each frame takes 5-6 hours
to create-imagine how much computing power
and time it will take to create 24 frames per
second of a 2-hour film!
A.From that,storyboards are drawn.
B.All these films have cost a large amount of
money.
C.Remember too,that the movements have to
be smooth!
D.Some of these shapes are simple,but some
are very complex.
E.The decorations of the sets and props are
created using a software.
F.Have you ever wondered how these amazing
cartoon films were made?
G.All the 3D characters,their movements,
and lighting are to be done by computers.
