Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题,每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
Mark Beer, a distinguished actor with over 40 years in the industry, has a lot of firsts to his name: the first disabled children's presenter on “Playdays” and the first disabled actor to star in a TV drama series.Despite these achievements, he understands disabled actors still face various challenges, particularly in landing roles.
Born with Cerebral Palsy, Mark started acting professionally at 17 and won a Bronze Medal at a festival.Later, he studied drama at the City Literary Institute in London.“My love for theatre started in childhood.Performing plays with my brothers in the garden provided an escape from my health issues and confirmed my belief in being any character, not just a child with severe disabilities,” Mark says.
He never views himself as a disabled actor but as one competing for the same roles as others.He acknowledges that if he had considered the barriers, mainly the unfriendly judgement by others, he might have chosen a different career.“Thankfully, things are getting much better for us and the stage entry is no longer a problem for those in wheelchairs!”
While disabled actors are more visible in films and TV, the industry still has a long way to go before it stops simply casting disabled actors as angry, disabled victims.In his own theatre company, Dramaioch Productions, Mark adopts a creative approach by fully casting disabled actors alongside nondisabled ones on stage.
“It's important we highlight disabilities in the arts to ensure this world doesn't remain divided,” explains Mark.“By bringing disabilities to the mainstream will hopefully encourage the industry to develop and represent society more accurately.We are casting people with disabilities based on worth, ability and talent.”

Alfred Hitchcock is easily one of the most influential film directors of all time.He was known throughout his life as a brilliant but badtempered man.He pioneered many techniques in the suspense (悬疑) and thriller genres (流派).He developed a style all of his own, which has defined entire genres of film and inspired other hugely successful films.
Hitchcock was born on 13 August 1899 in London, the son of a greengrocer.He often described his childhood as being very lonely and sheltered, a situation worsened by his obesity.He once said that he was sent by his father to the local police station with a note asking the officer to lock him away for 10 minutes as punishment for behaving badly.He also remarked that his mother would force him to stand for several hours as punishment.This idea of being harshly treated or wrongfully accused would later be reflected in Hitchcock's films.
In 1920, Hitchcock entered the film industry.Hitchcock directed more than fifty feature films in a career within six decades.In Hitchcock's movies, viewers are made to identify with the camera which moves in a way meant to imitate a person's gaze and which forces viewers to engage in a form of prying (窥探).He carefully designed shots to influence the feelings of the audience and maximize anxiety, fear, or empathy, and used innovative film editing to demonstrate the point of view of the characters.Many of Hitchcock's films have twist endings and thrilling plots.
Hitchcock saw himself as the operator of a switchback railway—an early form of rollercoaster—knowing how far to push his audience to thrill them but not going so far as to make it unpleasant.“I am, in some respects, the man who says, in constructing it, ‘how steep can we make the first dip (下落)?’, and ‘this will make them scream’,” he said.“If you make the dip too deep, the screams will continue as the whole car goes over the edge and destroys everyone.Therefore, you mustn't go too far, because you do want them to get off the switchback railway giggling (咯咯地笑) with pleasure.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了著名电影导演阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克的生平、成就以及他的电影风格。
5.How do Hitchcock's childhood experiences influence his films?
A.His films advocate child punishment.
B.His films criticise some violent events.
C.His films involve frightening moments.
D.His films centre around family business.
C 推理判断题。根据第二段和第三段可知,他童年孤独、受严厉惩罚的经历,使得他的电影中会包含令人恐惧的时刻。故选C。
6.What can we infer from Hitchcock's movies?
A.They make viewers immersed in vivid scenes.
B.They depend on cameras to imitate audience.
C.They have lighthearted plots for the most part.
D.They maximize the feelings of the characters.
A 推理判断题。根据第三段可推测,他的电影能够让观众沉浸在生动的场景中,感同身受。故选A。
7.Which of the following best describes Alfred Hitchcock?
A.Professional and creative.
B.Considerate and cautious.
C.Selfdisciplined but rude.
D.Brilliant but shortsighted.
A 推理判断题。根据第一段可推知,希区柯克在电影领域非常专业;再根据第三段“He carefully designed shots ... the point of view of the characters.”可知,他具有很强的创造力。故选A。
8.Why does the author mention the rollercoaster in the last paragraph?
A.To prove Hitchcock's love for amusement parks.
B.To illustrate Hitchcock's approach to directing films.
C.To emphasise Hitchcock's preference for action films.
D.To show the great challenge of operating a rollercoaster.

(2025·湖北名校联盟第二次联合测评)
Wildlife documentaries are known for offering breathtaking images of animals in their natural habitats.You might be thinking that these shows offer a totally real portrayal (描绘) of these animals—an objective window into their lives as they hunt, rest and raise their young.1( ) While the images we see are filmed on location, many of the sounds are recorded in a sound studio and added to the programmes later by human “Foley artists (拟音师)”.
2( ) Usually, documentary filmmakers can film their subjects from a great distance, but they typically can't get close enough to capture clear sounds without disturbing the animals.3( ) There will probably be background noises such as crew members chatting or walking around if sounds are recorded on location.In other cases, the animals might make sounds of a frequency or volume that most microphones simply can't capture clearly.
“Foley artists” will use a variety of tools to simulate (模拟) the sounds made by animals.And most of them will create the closeup sounds of animals chewing or yawning with their own mouths.These sounds are created as the artists watch the videos, making sure they perfectly match the actions they're paired with.4( ) Animal cries—which are far too complex to be simulated—will have to be taken from library recordings.
Watching “Foley artists” at work on wildlife projects gives me a thrill like the one we get when we see how a magic trick is done.5( ) Sounds have the ability to affect how we understand a given species.The way certain animals are portrayed in popular media may affect support for conservation efforts.
A.But this isn't quite the case.
B.There are some exceptions, though.
C.The Foley process involves a large team.
D.“Foley artists” are creative and resourceful.
E.Wildlife documentaries also tend to require large crews.
F.Admittedly, the significance of the technique goes further.
G.This is an unavoidable outcome of modern wildlife filmmaking.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了野生动物纪录片制作过程中声音录制的技术细节,特别是拟音师的工作,以及这些技术手段对观众理解动物行为、推动动物保护工作的影响。
1.A 上文说人们可能认为野生动物纪录片对动物是完全真实的描绘,下文说实际上很多声音是后期拟音师在录音棚录制并添加的,说明实际情况并非如人们所想,故选A项“但事实并非如此”,起到转折作用,引出下文对实际情况的介绍。
2.G 上文提到纪录片中的许多声音是后期制作的,下文提到纪录片制作人无法在不打扰动物的情况下近距离捕捉清晰声音,G项“这是现代野生动物电影制作中不可避免的结果”既承接了上文“声音后期制作”的做法,也解释了下文的客观困境,承上启下。其中G项中的This指代上文内容。
3.E 下文提到如果在实地录制声音,会出现工作人员聊天或走动等背景噪声,这是实地录音存在的问题。E项“野生动物纪录片往往也需要大量的工作人员”引出下文关于工作人员产生背景噪声的内容。E项中的crews与下文crew members相呼应。
4.B 上文说拟音师会用各种方式模拟动物声音,下文又说动物叫声太复杂而无法模拟,只能从声音库中获取,这是与上文模拟声音不同的特殊情况。故选B项“不过,也有一些例外情况”,起到承上启下的作用。
5.F 上文描述了观看拟音师工作的感受,下文则阐述了声音对观众理解特定物种、推动动物保护工作的影响。F项“诚然,这项技术的重要性还不止于此”实现了从“现象感受”到“深层意义”的过渡,承上启下。
Ⅲ.完形填空(共15小题,每小题1分,共15分)
