In the late nineteenth century, inventors in several countries were racing to build machines that could capture and show moving pictures. Their early works lasted only a minute or two and were shown in small rooms or at fairgrounds. There was no soundtrack at all, so the meaning of a story had to be carried by the actors' faces, gestures and body language. 1________ The arrival of recorded sound in the late 1920s changed everything. 2________ The first talking films astonished audiences, who could suddenly hear the actors' voices, footsteps and music. Cinemas had to buy and install new equipment, and a number of actors who had expressive faces but unsuitable voices found themselves out of work almost overnight. 3________ Technicians had to hide microphones in flowers or under tables, because early recording machines were large and clumsy. Cameras were locked inside soundproof boxes so that their noise would not be picked up. Gradually, better methods were developed and directors won back the freedom to move the camera again. Colour was the next great step. 4________ Companies competed to produce the most natural colours, and musicals and historical epics were made especially to show them off. Yet for a long time colour film remained expensive, so many directors still chose black and white because it suited a serious or realistic story better. In the last thirty years digital methods have transformed cinema once more. Films can now be shot with small cameras, edited on computers and sent to cinemas as files instead of heavy reels. 5________ Audiences can also watch the same film on a phone, a laptop or a very large screen, and the way we enjoy stories continues to change. A. Making a talking film was far more difficult than making a silent one. B. Early colour systems were costly and needed special cameras and lighting. C. Instead, filmmakers printed a few words on a card and showed it between scenes. D. This change also created new jobs for sound engineers and musicians. E. It allowed stories to be told through voices, music and sound effects. F. Colour was first added by hand to individual frames. G. It has made production cheaper and opened the door to new visual effects. 五、阅读理解 （一） Mr Lin worked as a projectionist for more than thirty years. When he started in the 1980s, the town cinema was the brightest place on the street. Every evening people queued for tickets and the hall was full. Up in the small room above the seats, he fed long reels of film through a heavy projector. He had to watch the screen closely, because a film arrived in several parts and he had to move from one reel to the next at exactly the right moment. 'If you were two seconds late,' he says, 'the picture stopped and the audience shouted.' The work was hard, but he loved it. He knew almost every film by heart and could tell that a scene was coming simply by listening to the sound. In those days the print arrived in metal boxes, and he checked it before each show, because a small scratch could leave a line across the picture for weeks. Things began to change about fifteen years ago. The cinema bought a digital system, and the heavy reels disappeared. A film now arrives as a small hard drive or as a file sent over the internet. Mr Lin no longer has to run up and down the stairs, but he also no longer feels needed. 'A machine does everything now,' he says. 'It never makes a mistake, so nobody notices when it works well.' The cinema closed last winter and will be turned into a supermarket. On its last day Mr Lin was allowed to keep the old projector. He has cleaned it and placed it in his living room. Sometimes his grandson asks him to explain how it works, and he is happy to do so. 'It is only a machine,' he says, 'but it carried a lot of memories.' 1.What was Mr Lin's main job in the cinema? A. He sold tickets and popcorn to people in the hall. B. He ran the machine that showed films on the screen. C. He repaired the seats and cleaned the cinema. D. He chose which films the cinema would show. 2.What does the underlined word 'it' in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The metal box. B. The small room. C. The film print. D. The projector. 3.Why did Mr Lin have to watch the screen closely? A. Because he had to change from one reel to the next at the right moment. B. Because the audience would shout when the film was boring. C. Because he had to count the number of people in the hall. D. Because the old projector often broke down in hot weather. 4.What can we infer about Mr Lin's attitude to the digital system? A. He thinks it is too difficult for old workers to learn. B. He believes it will soon be replaced by something better. C. He refuses to work in any cinema that uses it. D. He accepts its convenience but misses his old role. 5.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The history of the town cinema B. Memories of an old projectionist C. How to become a projectionist D. The future of digital cinemas （二） Digital technology has changed almost every step of film-making. Twenty years ago a scene was recorded on heavy rolls of film that cost a great deal of money. Today many directors use digital cameras that store pictures on small cards. Because nothing is wasted, a young team can shoot far more scenes than before, and it is possible to watch the result immediately instead of waiting days for the film to be developed. Editing has changed even more. In the past editors cut and joined pieces of film by hand. Now the material is loaded into a computer, where scenes can be moved, shortened or coloured with a few clicks. Mistakes that once could not be repaired can now be fixed, and sounds can be recorded again in a quiet studio long after the actors have gone home. The way films reach audiences has also been transformed. A digital copy can be sent to thousands of cinemas in a few minutes, while a print of film had to be packed in boxes and driven across the country. This saves money and keeps both picture and sound in perfect condition, no matter how often the film is shown. Yet some directors still prefer traditional film. They argue that digital pictures look too clean and that the grain of old film gives a story a special feel. Large traditional cameras are also heavy and slow, which, they say, forces a director to think carefully before shooting. For them, less freedom can sometimes produce better art. 6.What is the main idea of the passage? A. Traditional film will disappear completely in a few years. B. Digital cameras are much cheaper than traditional ones. C. Digital technology has changed the way films are made and shown. D. Young directors prefer digital cameras to traditional film. 7.According to Paragraph 1, why can a young team shoot more scenes today? A. Because digital recording wastes nothing and costs less. B. Because actors work much faster than they did in the past. C. Because digital cameras are far lighter to carry around. D. Because directors now write much shorter scripts. 8.What does the underlined word 'transformed' in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. Recorded. B. Prepared. C. Repaired. D. Changed. 9.Why do some directors still prefer traditional film? A. It is easier to edit on a computer. B. It gives their pictures a special quality. C. It is much cheaper for a young team. D. It can be sent to cinemas more quickly. 10.What is the author's attitude towards digital technology? A. Doubtful. B. Uncaring. C. Objective. D. Negative. 习题答案解析 一、单词拼写 1.“设备”，electronic 后接名词，device 意为“装置；设备”，such as 后列举了 phones 与 smart speakers 等多件物品，需用复数，故填 devices。 2.“摄影机”，several 后接可数名词复数，camera 意为“摄影机；照相机”，故填 cameras。 3.“放映机”，定冠词 the 后接名词作宾语，projector 意为“放映机；投影仪”，此处指一台，用单数，故填 projector。 4.“屏幕”，介词 on 后接名词，screen 意为“银幕；屏幕”，与 watch a film 的语境一致，故填 screen。 5.“声音”，定冠词 The 后接名词作主语，sound 意为“声音”，此处指钢琴声这一整体概念，用单数，故填 sound。 6.“技术”，and 连接两个并列主语，technology 意为“科技；技术”，为不可数名词，故填 technology。 7.“发明”，句中缺谓语，时间状语 in 1876 表示过去，invent 需用过去式，故填 invented。 8.“观众”，定冠词 The 后接名词作主语，audience 意为“观众（总称）”，故填 audience。 9.“世纪”，序数词 twentieth 后接单数名词，century 意为“世纪”，the twentieth century 即“二十世纪”，故填 century。 10.“录音”，定冠词 The 后接名词作主语，recording 意为“录音；录制”，由 was 可知用单数，故填 recording。 二、词性转化 1.invent 是动词“发明”，其名词形式是在词尾加 -ion，即 invention，意为“发明；发明物”，如：a useful invention（一项有用的发明）。 2.improve 是动词“改进；提高”，其名词形式是在词尾加 -ment，即 improvement，意为“改进”，如：the improvement of sound quality（声音质量的改进）。 3.record 是动词“录制；记录”，其名词形式是在词尾加 -ing，即 recording，意为“录音；录制”，如：a recording of the music（一段音乐录音）。 4.equip 是动词“装备；配备”，其名词形式是在词尾加 -ment，即 equipment，意为“设备；器材”，为不可数名词。 5.silent 是形容词“寂静的；无声的”，把 -ent 变为 -ence 即名词 silence，意为“寂静；无声”，如：in silence（沉默地）。 6.perform 是动词“表演；演出”，其名词形式是在词尾加 -ance，即 performance，意为“表演；演出”，如：a wonderful performance（一场精彩的演出）。 7.appear 是动词“出现”，其名词形式是在词尾加 -ance，即 appearance，意为“出现；外貌”，如：judge by one's appearance（以貌取人）。 8.digit 是名词“数字”，加 -al 构成形容词 digital，意为“数字的；数码的”，如：a digital camera（一台数码相机）。 9.create 是动词“创造”，把 -e 去掉再加 -ive 构成形容词 creative，意为“有创造力的”，如：a creative idea（一个有创意的想法）。 10.possible 是形容词“可能的”，把 -ible 变为 -ibility 即名词 possibility，意为“可能性”，如：the possibility of success（成功的可能性）。 三、选词填空 1.“录制”。情态动词 can 后接动词原形，record 作动词意为“录制；记录”，与后面的 sound and pictures 构成动宾搭配，故填 record。 2.“改进”。助动词 had 后需接过去分词构成过去完成时，improve 意为“改进；提高”，句中时间状语 By 1930 表示“到 1930 年为止”，故填过去分词 improved。 3.“发明”。助动词 will 后接动词原形，invent 意为“发明”，与 the next machine 构成动宾搭配，故填 invent。 4.“屏幕”。不定冠词 A 后接单数可数名词作主语，screen 意为“银幕；屏幕”，与谓语 was hung（被悬挂）及 at the front of the hall 呼应，故填 screen。 5.“设备”。形容词 new 后接名词作宾语，equipment 意为“设备；器材”，为不可数名词，故填 equipment。 6.“数字的”。名词 projectors 前需用形容词修饰，digital 意为“数字的；数码的”，与 instead of old ones 形成对比，故填 digital。 7.“世纪”。序数词 nineteenth 后接单数名词，century 意为“世纪”，the nineteenth century 即“十九世纪”，故填 century。 8.“发明”。定冠词 The 后接名词作主语，invent 的名词形式是 invention，意为“发明；发明物”，故填 invention。 四、七选五 1.C：本段说早期电影“no soundtrack at all（根本没有声轨）”，故事的含意只能靠演员的表情和肢体语言传达，C 项“相反，电影人把几句话印在卡片上，在场景之间放映出来”与上文“没有声音”形成转折衔接，且 cards 正是无声电影说明剧情的方式，故选 C。 2.E：空格前说“The arrival of recorded sound…changed everything（录音的出现改变了一切）”，空格后举例说观众第一次听到演员的声音、脚步声和音乐，E 项“它使故事得以通过人声、音乐和音效来讲述”中的 It 指代 recorded sound，与 voices, music 呼应，故选 E。 3.A：本段讲技术人员不得不把麦克风藏在花里或桌下、摄影机被锁在隔音箱里，说明的是有声电影拍摄的技术困难，A 项“拍一部有声电影远比拍一部无声电影困难”概括本段主旨，故选 A。 4.B：空格前说“Colour was the next great step（彩色是下一个伟大的飞跃）”，空格后提到彩色长期价格昂贵、许多导演仍选择黑白，B 项“早期的彩色系统价格高昂，还需要特殊的摄影机和灯光”承上启下，costly 与后文 expensive 呼应，故选 B。 5.G：本段讲数字手段改变了电影的拍摄、剪辑和发行方式，空格后说观众还可以在手机、笔记本或大银幕上看同一部电影，G 项“它使制作更便宜，并为新的视觉效果打开了大门”中的 It 指代 digital methods，且 production 与上文 shot、edited 呼应，故选 G。 五、阅读理解 1.B：根据第一段“worked as a projectionist”与“fed long reels of film through a heavy projector”可知，林先生的工作是在放映室里操作放映机、把影片放映到银幕上，B 项“他操作把影片放映到银幕上的机器”与此相符，故选 B。A、C、D 三项在文中均无依据。 2.C：第二段说“the print arrived in metal boxes, and he checked it carefully before each show”，检查的对象自然是前面提到的 the print（影片拷贝），且后文“dust or a small scratch could leave a line across the picture”也说明被检查的是拷贝，故选 C。 3.A：第一段明确说“He had to watch the screen closely, because a film arrived in several parts and he had to move from one reel to the next at exactly the right moment”，即他必须在恰当的时刻更换片盘，故选 A。其他三项文中未提及。 4.D：第三段说数字系统让他“no longer has to run up and down the stairs”，这是便利之处；同时又说“he also no longer feels needed”“nobody notices when it works well”，可见他内心失落，D 项“他接受了它的便利，却怀念过去自己的角色”符合推断，故选 D。 5.B：全文以林先生三十多年的放映员经历为线索，写他操作老放映机的细节以及影院数字化、关闭后他保留机器的情景，结尾“it carried a lot of memories”点明回忆这一主题，B 项“一位老放映员的回忆”最能概括全文，故选 B。 6.C：文章第一段总说数字技术改变了电影制作的几乎每一个环节，第二、三段分别说明拍摄、剪辑与发行方式的变化，第四段补充仍有导演偏爱传统胶片，C 项“数字技术改变了电影的制作与放映方式”概括全面，故选 C。A、B、D 都只涉及局部信息。 7.A：第一段说过去拍摄用“heavy rolls of film that cost a great deal of money”，而现在“Because nothing is wasted, a young team can shoot far more scenes”，即数字拍摄不浪费材料、成本更低，故选 A。B、C、D 三项文中均未提及。 8.D：第三段讲过去拷贝要装箱运往各地，而现在数字拷贝几分钟就能传送到数千家影院，方式被彻底改变，故 transformed 意为“改变”，与 changed 同义，故选 D。 9.B：第四段说这些导演认为数字画面“look too clean”，而传统胶片的颗粒感“gives a story a special feel”，即传统胶片能带来特殊的质感，B 项“它使画面具有独特的品质”与此相符，故选 B。 10.C：作者前三段客观列举数字技术带来的便利，第四段又用 Yet 引出偏爱传统胶片一方的理由，既说优点也说保留意见，不褒不贬，态度客观，故选 C（Objective）。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
