课时分层作业(九)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The appeal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects.Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement.For example,some advertisers have appealed to people's desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage.Some of the products work.Others are worthless and a waste of consumers' money.
Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading.A few years ago,a brand of bread was offered to dieters with the message that there were fewer calories in every slice.It turned out that the bread was not dietetic,but just regular bread.There were fewer calories because it was sliced very thin,but there was the same number of calories in every loaf.
On the positive side,emotional appeals may respond to a consumer's real concerns.Consider fire insurance.Fire insurance may be sold by appealing to fear of loss.But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance.The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people.If consumers consider the quality of the insurance plans as well as the message in the ads,they will benefit from the advertising.
Each consumer must evaluate her or his own situation.Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers.But it does not force them to buy the product.Consumers still control the final buying decision.
【语篇解读】 文章讲述了广告的吸引力有积极影响也有消极影响,但买不买商品最终决定权在消费者手中。

A.stressing their high quality

2.The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that .
A.thin slices of bread could contain more calories
B.the loaf was cut into regular slices
C.the bread was not genuine bread

D [细节理解题。文章第二段举了一个消费者被误导的例子。由本段最后一句可知,面包广告的误导性在于一块面包被切成薄片时所含的热量减少。]
3.It can be inferred from the text that a smart consumer should .
A.think carefully about the benefits described in the advertisements
B.guard against the deceiving nature of advertisements
C.be familiar with various advertising strategies
D.avoid buying products that have strong emotional appeal
A [推理判断题。广告的目的是吸引消费者,但不能强迫消费者购买,最终的选择权还是在消费者手里。故选A。]

For as long as we've known about it,humans have searched for a cure for cancer.Across the world,countless amounts of time and money have been spent on researching a way to stop this terrible disease.But now,it seems like the answer could have been inside our own bodies the whole time.
Recently,the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) in the US,a government agency that's responsible for healthcare,approved a new form of gene therapy(疗法) that could mean the end of a certain type of cancer.
The therapy allows scientists to “train” the immune(有免疫力的) cells of sick patients to fight leukemia(白血病) — a form of blood cancer that mostly affects young people.
The exciting new treatment works by removing healthy immune cells from the patient,known as T cells,which are then changed to be able to “hunt down” cancer cells.
The cells are then put back into the patient before they begin to get rid of the patient's leukemia over time similar to how the body fights off other illnesses.
“This is truly an exciting new day for cancer patients,” Louis J.DeGennaro,president of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society,said in a news release.
Up until now,a long and painful marrow transplant(骨髓移植) was the only option for many leukemia patients.
In this procedure,healthy blood cells are taken from a donator and placed into the sick patient,who also has to go through chemotherapy (化疗) to allow their body to adjust to the new cells.
But with a recovery rate of around 83% — according to a news release published by the FDA — it's hoped that the days of painful trips to the hospital,or even death,are over for leukemia sufferers.
“We're entering a new frontier in medical innovation(创新) with the ability to reprogram a patient's own cells to attack a deadly cancer,” FDA representative Scott Gottlieb said in the release.“New technologies such as gene and cell therapies hold the potential to transform medicine and our ability to treat and even cure many incurable illnesses.”
【语篇解读】 文章介绍了医学领域的一项重大进步。美国食品药品监督管理局批准了一项新的基因疗法—通过“训练”患者有免疫力的细胞去杀死癌细胞。实验已经证明这一疗法相当有效,并且前景光明。
5.What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage
A.To compare different ways of curing leukemia.
B.To report on a breakthrough in cancer treatment.
C.To explore the potential of gene and cell therapies.
D.To show scientists' efforts in search of a cure for cancer.
B [推理判断题。通览全文可知,文章介绍了医学领域的一项重大进步。美国食品药品监督管理局批准了一项新的基因疗法——通过“训练”患者有免疫力的细胞去杀死癌细胞。因此作者写这篇文章的目的是要报导一项癌症治疗领域的新突破。故选B。]
6.How does the new treatment to fight leukemia work
A.By using changed T cells to destroy cancer cells.
B.By replacing sick blood cells with healthy ones.
C.By removing sick blood cells during marrow transplant.
D.By using chemotherapy to improve the patient's immune system.
A [细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The therapy allows scientists to ‘train’ the immune cells of sick patients to fight leukemia—a form of blood cancer that mostly affects young people.”可知,新的基因疗法是通过“训练”患者有免疫力的细胞去杀死癌细胞。故选A。]
7.What can be inferred about the new therapy for leukemia sufferers
A.It can save them many more trips to the hospital.
B.It can improve their ability to fight off all kinds of cancer.
C.It can give them a better chance of survival and recovery.
D.It can reduce their pain in the process of marrow transplant.
C [推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“it's hoped that the days of painful trips to the hospital,or even death,are over for leukemia sufferers”可知,由于这项新疗法,白血病患者有望战胜癌症,从病痛折磨中恢复,并活下来。故选C。]
8.What is Scott Gottlieb's attitude toward gene and cell therapies
A.Doubtful.     B.Optimistic.
C.Worried. D.Casual.
B [观点态度题。根据文章最后一句“New technologies such as gene and cell therapies hold the potential to transform medicine and our ability to treat and even cure many incurable illnesses.”可知,Scott Gottlieb认为基因和细胞疗法有望让我们治疗甚至治愈一些难以治疗的疾病。因此Scott Gottlieb对于基因和细胞疗法持乐观态度。故选B。]
Ⅱ.概要写作
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Scientists in London say they have found the best diet for both humans and the planet.If the world followed the so called “planetary health” diet,the scientists told Reuters that each year more than 11 million early deaths could be prevented.Scientists say that the way we produce and eat food is very bad for the planet.For the health of the planet,they claim the same diet would reduce greenhouse gases and save more land,water and animals.
Tim Lang,a professor at Britain's University of London,co led the research.He told Reuters,“The food we eat and how we produce it determines change what we eat and the way we eat by improving food production and reducing food waste.”
Well,what do you eat on the planetary health diet The scientists who created this diet say it is largely plant based but still has small amounts of dairy,fish and meat.The diet calls for cutting red meat and sugar by 50 percent and doubling the amount of nuts,fruits,vegetables and legumes.
Food situations around the world are not equal.In certain areas,this would mean great changes.People in North America,for example,eat 6.5 times the recommended amount of red meat.On the other hand,people in South Asia eat only half the amount suggested by the new planetary health diet.Meeting the targets for vegetables would need big changes in other areas.In sub Saharan Africa,people on average eat 7.5 times the suggested amount of vegetables like potatoes and cassava.
The scientists admit their goal will be difficult to achieve.But for them doing nothing is also not an option.Willet said,“If we can't quite make it,it's better to try and get as close as we can.”
【参考范文】
Scientists claim they have obtained the best diet benefiting both humans and the planet.Tim Lang,the leader of the research,emphasized the significance of changing the food and the way we eat.In other words,it is more scientific for diet to be more based on plants than animals.However,the food condition is not globally balanced.Tough as the target is to realize,it is worth trying.
2/61.Whoever controls the media,controls the mind.
—Jim Morrison
控制了媒体,也就控制了思想。
——吉姆·莫里森
2.Advertising may be described as the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it.
—Stephen Leacock
广告可以被描述为长时间俘虏人类智慧以从中赚钱的科学。
——斯蒂芬·里柯克
3.The difference between journalism and literature is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.
—Oscar Wilde
报纸和文学的区别是,报纸没法读,而文学则没人读。
——奥斯卡·王尔德
4.Journalism largely consists in saying “Lord Jones Dead” to people who never knew that Lord Jones was alive.
—G.K.Chesterton
新闻工作在很大程度上就是对那些从来不知道琼斯勋爵还活着的人说“琼斯勋爵死了”。
——吉尔伯特·基思·切斯特顿
Television is an attractive medium for advertising because it delivers mass audiences to advertisers.Television's influence on advertising is fourfold.First,narrowcasting means that television channels are seen by an increasingly narrow segment of the audience.The Golf Channel,for instance.Second,there is an increase in the number of television channels available to viewers,and thus,advertisers.This has also resulted in an increase in the sheer number of advertisements to which audiences are exposed.Third,digital recording devices allow audience members more control over which commercials they watch.Fourth,control over programming is being passed from the networks to local cable operators and satellite programmers.
The media is now occupying too much of our time.Many teenagers are spending so much time in using computers that it seems computers are their whole life.Their life belongs to the media rather than themselves.
The media can hinder people to get in touch with the nature.They understand the outside world by surfing the Internet and watching TV.Except of that,more and more people are having cell phones which can help them obtain information they want.Because of the information technology,less people choose laggard information tools,such as newspapers and books.For them it is easy to understand the world by media.What is more,in such a busy world,most of people cannot pay much attention to what they are doing.The people who lived several scores ago did not have any media as we have today.However,they invented the computers,televisions,movies and other tools for entertainment for the modern people.There is no doubt that the reason they did that is to make the life of modern people happy.Unfortunately,as an old saying goes,one coin has two sides.People have been losing themselves from the beginning of the prevailing of those things.A person may spend a whole day in front of the computer,which makes him/her spend less time with others.So please don't lose yourself in the ocean of information.

THE ADVERTISING GAME
The advertising① industry started with the fundamental② purpose③ of promoting④ and selling goods to people who might need them.Advertising agencies⑤ would create a basic⑥ type of advertisement known as a commercial⑦ advertisement.[1] Such advertisements have gone through⑧ a process of change over the years along with social,economic⑨ and technological⑩ developments.
[1]known as是过去分词短语作定语修饰advertisement。
Classic advertisements used to give information about finding certain products.It was likely to be the name of a company,part of which might include the name of the place from which the product originated .[2] For example,it could be “Shanghai Sewing Machines”,or “Tsing Tao Beer Corporation”.From the name you would know what the company sells,where they are located ,and the name of the product.
[2]第一个which引导定语从句,修饰先行词a company;第二个which引导定语从句修饰先行词the place。
Advertising agencies used to create this kind of advertising and it could be very effective .But then they realised that it might not be suitable for a marketplace where products and services are in direct competition with each other.[3] Particularly now,in modern times,advertisements need to attract and hold the attention of the public.For this reason,it's now normal to see advertisements that consist of pictures or words from experts to show people how good the product is.Others try to create advertisements that people simply enjoy looking at.As present day advertisers often have large budgets ,huge amounts of money are spent on applying modern design techniques to make these advertisements as visually attractive as possible.[4] However,even this is often not enough to be noticed in a modern city.
[3]where引导定语从句,修饰先行词marketplace。
[4]as引导原因状语从句。
Because of the boost in advertising,people are used to seeing a high standard of visual design.Modern advertisements need something else to separate them from their competitors.To stand out in a world of competitive advertising,they must combine the highest standard of design with creative ways to make people believe that they “must have the product”.[5] For example,some advertisements may suggest that buying a car can make you free.That is,they use the concept of freedom to sell the car.Other common ideas include happiness,wealth and success.In fact,in the world of advertisements,such content is as old as advertising itself.
[5]To stand out是不定式短语作目的状语;to make people believe...也是不定式作目的状语,that引导宾语从句,作believe的宾语。
For many of today's advertisers,repeating old ideas is not a successful approach.Ideas that would work in the past genuinely are not as effective now.They realise that it does not matter how attractive the idea linked with the product is—most people know and anticipate that the main purpose of the advertisement is to make customers buy the product.Instead,these advertisers look for other ways to make people notice their products.The top advertisers of today believe that using humour as well as new and unusual ideas to surprise people is important.Their aim is to create something that has never been seen before and that people find interesting.[6] By doing this,they hope to make people forget that someone is trying to sell them something!
[6]两个that引导定语从句,都是修饰先行词something。
However,not all advertising is about selling products and services for a profit.[7] Some advertisements nowadays aim to make a contribution to society and welfare.For example,there are public advertisements,which encourage citizens to participate in improving their neighbourhood,protecting the environment,and helping other people.Over the last decade,the government has sponsoredadvertisements to educate the public on fighting AIDS,saving water,helping the poor,giving up smoking,etc.These advertisements have helped to increase public knowledge about topics that used to be ignored by most people,and this has made our society a better place for everyone.
[7]not all...是部分否定,表示“并不都是……”。

广告行业
广告业的根本目的是向潜在的消费者推销商品。广告代理公司创造出一种基本的广告形式,也就是我们所熟知的商业广告。与社会、经济和技术发展过程同步,多年来这些广告经历了一个变化的过程。
以前,经典的广告会给出识别产品的信息。这些信息可能是公司名,其中一部分可能包含产品的原产地。比如,“上海缝纫机厂”或“青岛啤酒公司”。一看名字,你就知道这些公司销售的具体产品、所在地点以及产品名称。
广告代理公司过去常制作这种广告,而且效果很好。但后来他们意识到,在一个产品和服务相互直接竞争的市场上,这可能并不合适。特别是在当代社会广告需要吸引、保持公众的注意力。因此,现在的广告常常引用专家的图片、文字,向人们展示产品有多棒。还有一些广告代理公司尝试制作具有观赏性的广告。现在的广告商通常预算充足,他们会花大笔的钱采用现代设计技术,让广告更具视觉吸引力。但即便是这种广告方式在现代城市中也不足以引起消费者的注意。
因为广告业的迅速发展,人们早已对那些高水准的视觉设计习以为常。现代广告需要另外一些东西,以便将它们与其他竞争者区别开来。为了在竞争激烈的广告界凸显出来,他们必须将最高水准的设计与创造性的方法结合起来,使人们确信他们“必须购买这种产品”。例如,一些广告可能会暗示买车能让你自由。也就是说,广告代理公司借用自由的概念销售汽车。其他常见概念销售包括幸福、财富和成功。事实上,这些概念和广告业一样历史悠久。
对很多今天的广告商而言,重复过去的广告并不会获得成功。过去可行的想法,放到现在并不一定有效。他们意识到与产品关联的概念有多么吸引人并不重要——大多数人都明白,广告的主要目的就是让客户购买产品。于是,这些广告商转而通过寻找其他的方法,让消费者注意到自己的产品。当今顶级广告商认为广告要用幽默、新颖、奇特的创意给人们带来惊喜。他们的目的是创造一些人们从未见过的东西,从而让人们觉得有趣,进而让消费者忘记有人在试图向他们推销商品!
然而,并非所有的广告都是以营利为目的销售产品与服务。现在还有一些广告的目的在于为社会和福利作贡献,比如公益广告,它鼓励市民参与改善社区、保护环境和帮助他人的活动。过去的十年里,政府赞助了一些公益广告,教育公众防治艾滋病,呼吁民众节约用水、帮助贫困人口、戒烟等。这些广告帮助公众增强对以往被忽视话题的公共认知,也让我们的社会更加美好。

(2)would与used to都不能用来表示动作发生的具体频度或具体的一段时间。例如,不能说:
I would/used to go to France six times.
He used to live in Africa for twenty years.
上两句应改成:
I have been to France six times.
我去过法国6次。
He lived in Africa twenty years ago.

(3)used to可指过去的状态或情况,would则不能。

过去,学校的孩子们都知道亚伯拉罕·林肯怎样步行5英里退还多收顾客的1便士的故事。

A
Common Sense Media is a non profit group in the United States that studies children's use of media and technology.The group has done a survey asking teachers about the effects of their students' use of entertainment media.
Entertainment media was defined as the TV shows,music,video games that students use for fun.Many teachers said they believe media use has hurt academic performance,which in some cases is already not very strong.Vicky Rideout wrote the report for Common Sense Media.“We have merely four in ten students feel poor at reading,at oral communication and more than that thing the students wrongly fear report writing.So we need to make sure that everything kids are doing is helping to accelerate progress and not preventing it.”
The survey involved 685 teachers around the country.71% of the teachers said they believe entertainment media has reduced students' ability to pay attention in class.And almost 60% said it has hurt their writing skills.Many teachers thought it has negatively affected students' ideas about boys and girls' relationship.Many also thought it encourages aggression and anti social behavior.Teachers who describe themselves as uncomfortable with new technologies were more likely than other teachers to see destructive effects of media use on social development.
But not all effects of media use were seen as bad.Almost two thirds of teachers said it also helps the students' ability to find information quickly and efficiently.And one third said using entertainment media has helped their students to multitask (同时执行多项任务) effectively.Only 25% said it just has hurt them.Teachers who consider themselves as techsavvy (科技通) were more likely than others to see an advantage to students' creativity from the use of entertainment media.Vicky Rideout said teachers accept that the way students spend their time and how they like to learn has changed.

Laughter is a kind of universal body language that is shared by people of all nationalities,skin colors,cultures and traditions.But did you know that the ability to tell real laughter apart from fake (假的) laughter also varies among cultures
Greg Bryant,a professor of communication at the University of California,published a study in late July.In the study,884 people from 21 countries were asked to listen to random recordings of laughter.Some of the recordings were made up of laughs from the bottom of the heart,while others were made by people who were asked to laugh on command.
The study showed that people around the world have the ability to pick out real laughter,although their abilities vary from country to country.Residents of the Samoan Islands,were particularly good at it,correctly identifying real laughter 56 percent of the time.According to Bryant,people from smaller,less industrialized nations “are more accurate in identifying a natural smile” because they rely heavily on emotional engagement in order to predict others' behavior and create stronger social relationships.
But how do people from different cultures detect natural laughter so easily And what characters does real laughter have As Professor Jessica Wolf of the University of California told the Association for Psychological Science,in real laughter,we produce qualities,such as higher pitch (音调) and volume,as well as faster bursts of no clear sounds.
By contrast,fake laughter will “sound like speech”.According to Science Daily,fake laughter is controlled by the same brain system that controls the lips and tongue.Bryant further explained that this system has active ability,saying “with this speech system,you can make a lot of different noises,including crying,laughter or scream.That's where fake laughter comes from.”
So that's something to think about: next time one of your friends laughs at something you say,will you be able to tell if it's real or fake
【语篇解读】 文章主要讲述了Bryant研究发现了尽管各国人民的能力各不相同,但是世界各地的人们都可以通过声音中的微小差异来识别真笑和假笑。文章还说明了真笑和假笑分别具备的特点。
4.What did the study find
A.Real laughter is produced from people's heart.
B.People can tell real laughter from fake laughter.
C.People have trouble recognizing real laughter.
D.Laughter is a kind of universal body language in the world.
B [细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The study showed that people around the world have the ability to pick out real laughter,although their abilities vary from country to country.”可知研究发现了人们可以分辨出真正的笑和假笑。故选B。]
5.Why are residents of Samoan accurate in identifying natural laughter
A.They put much emotion to knowing others.
B.They often predict others' behavior.
C.They aren't well educated.
D.They have a strong social relationship.
A [细节理解题。根据第三段中“...because they rely heavily on emotional engagement in order to predict others' behavior and create stronger social relationships.”可推知,Samoan居民能准确识别自然的笑声是因为他们把很多情感放在了解别人上。故选A。]
6.What characters does real laughter have
A.Clearer words.    B.Slower speed.
C.Higher sound. D.More like a speech.
C [细节理解题。根据第四段中“...in real laughter,we produce qualities,such as higher pitch and volume,as well as faster bursts of no clear sounds.”可知,自然的笑声通常以高音量为特征。故选C。]
7.What can we learn about the fake laughter system
A.It controls ears and eyes.
B.It works like speech systems.
C.It encourages people to copy others.
D.It can make people produce various noises.
D [细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Bryant further explained that this system has active ability,saying ‘with this speech system,you can make a lot of different noises,including crying,laughter or scream.That's where fake laughter comes from’.”可知,假笑系统可以使人产生各种各样的噪音。故选D。]

If you truly want to become a great singer,you must practice using your singing voice.Here is some advice that can help you a lot.
Where should I practice
1 Your practice space can be anywhere in your house where you can be alone and concentrate.This practice space doesn't have to be the size of a football stadium.You simply need space to move around comfortably during the warm up or when you create the scene for your song.
What's best time to practice
Arrange a specific time for practicing each day.If the practice time is allotted (留出) on your schedule,you're more likely to practice. 2 Many singers practice more effectively at night because of their body clocks.If your home is usually overwhelmed (应接不暇) with familial comings and goings in the evening or early morning hours,then you may want to arrange a time in the middle of the day. 3
How long should I practice
The length of the practice period depends on your level of music knowledge.Someone who is new to singing can benefit from practicing 15 to 20 minutes a day. 4 However,quality practice is better than quantity.Focusing for 20 minutes of creative practice is better than unfocused practice for an hour.
Improvement happens with frequent practice. 5 Set goals for each practice period for the progress.
A.To increase your attention,turn off the TV during your practice time.
B.If your voice is tired after 20 minutes,rest for a time and sing again later.
C.You can't expect to practice once and be perfect.
D.Leave the space set up so that everything is ready each day for practicing.
E.Decide if you're a morning person or an evening person.
F.Gradually increase the practice time to 30 to 60 minutes per day.
G.The number one question is about locations (地点).
【语篇解读】 文章为想要成为歌手的朋友们提供了一些很好的建议。
1.G [本段小标题是“在哪里练习”,空后又说你可以在家里的任何地方练习,因此此处会提到练习地点的问题,故G项(第一个问题是关于地点)符合语境。]
2.E [根据本段小标题可知本段主要讲的是练习的最佳时间,空后又说由于生物钟的关系,许多唱歌的人晚上练习的效率更高,因此此处是说要知道自己适合在什么时间练习,故E项(你要知道自己适合早上练习还是晚上练习)符合语境。]
3.A [空前说如果你的家里经常在傍晚或清晨有家人来来去去,那么你可能需要在中午安排一个时间,此处承接上文,讲的是在中午的某个时间练习的注意事项,故A项(为了提高注意力,在练习的时候关掉电视)符合语境。]
4.F [空前说一个刚练习唱歌的人每天练习15到20分钟会受益匪浅,空后又说练习的质量比数量重要,因此此处会提到增加练习时间的问题,故F项(逐渐把练习时间增加到每天30到60分钟)符合语境。]
5.C [空前说经常练习才能提高,因此此处是说练习需要持之以恒,不是一劳永逸的事情,故C项(你不能指望一次就练得完美)符合语境。]

FROM PAGE TO SCREEN
by James Hope (Arts journalist)
Reading a book and watching a film are two very different experiences,but it's normal① to have high expectations② when a film of a favourite book is made.There are many times I have been pessimistic③ or even disappointed by a film of a book I love.Although highly regarded books do not always make good films,it is safe to say that great films may be made from not particularly④ good books.[1](The Godfather⑤ immediately springs⑥ to mind.)
[1]although引导让步状语从句;it是形式主语,真正主语是不定式to say...;not always...是部分否定。
The source material for a film may be taken from classic⑦ novels⑧,short stories,comic⑨ books and stage plays⑩,as well as non fiction such as biographies and autobiographies ,even those written by ghost writers .All can work well,but why do many adaptations and indeed remakes fail with both cinema audiences and critics ? And why do some adaptations get lower ratings than others
A key question is obviously how close to the original the film is.Since a typical film is only around two hours long,it becomes a question for screenwriters to decide what is appropriate for the screen and what to leave out.[2] Screenwriters take creative liberty and sometimes there may be changes to the plot,additions,and even different endings to please producers,directors and test audiences.I,like many people,have often left the cinema feeling “the film is not like the book”.
[2]since引导原因状语从句,意为“因为”;两个what引导并列的宾语从句,作decide的宾语。
Another problem area is the cast.Finding actors acceptable to film audiences can mean the difference between success and failure.Readers of the book use their imaginations to visualise characters and have very definite ideas about how characters should look and sound.This is where I think many film adaptations fall down.[3]
[3]where引导表语从句。
Some books are just too difficult to be adapted for technical reasons,although films like The Life of Pi are changing this idea.CGI (Computer Generated Image) technology has had a huge impact on the film industry.It allowed the previously unfilmable to become a reality.
One may think that it is the book writer who is in the best position to do film adaptations.[4] In fact,sometimes authors are very involved in the process and may even be the screenwriter.This can actually be a disadvantage because they may be too close to the material and find it difficult to adapt to a new form.At other times they are not,and there are instances where writers have been very unsatisfied with the film versions of their work;[5] Stephen King is an example of this.Even more extreme was novelist J.D.Salinger,who made sure no film versions of his popular novel A Catcher in the Rye could ever be made.In this situation,it is clear that viewers will not be disappointed! For me,anyway,it is always a bad idea to watch a film of a book you love.
[4]本句是强调句,强调主语the book writer。
[5]where引导限制性定语从句修饰先行词instances。
Despite the challenges,there have been some highly successful films made from popular books.For me,Jaws,Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings all fit this category.And possibly the best proof of a successful adaptation is the James Bond series,the majority of which has been adapted from the 007 novels of Ian Fleming.Perhaps unusually,audiences seem to accept that the actors who have played James Bond have changed so often,although everyone seems to have their favourite.I know I do.
译文参考
从页面到屏幕
写于詹姆斯·霍普(艺术界的新闻者)
读书和看电影是两种截然不同的体验。如果人们最喜欢的书籍被翻拍成电影,他们对电影的期待值自然就高。这种现象很正常。不止一次,我喜欢的书籍拍成电影,我都不看好,甚至很失望。尽管高质量的书并不总是能拍出好看的电影,优秀的电影也可能来自不是那么好的书,说的倒是没错。(这让我马上想到《教父》。)
一部电影可以取材自经典小说、短篇小说、漫画书、舞台剧,也可以取自传记、自传等纪实小说作品,甚至是代笔人写的作品。这些素材都可以拍出很棒的作品,但为什么许多改编、翻拍的电影没能受到电影观众与评论家的好评呢?为什么有些改编作品的评分比其他作品低呢?
显而易见,一个关键的问题在于这部电影与原作接近程度如何。因为电影通常只有两小时左右,所以在有限的时间里,编剧要决定书中哪部分适合银幕,哪部分不适合成为了一个问题。编剧们有创作的自由,有时为了取悦制片人,导演和测试观众,可能会对情节添枝加叶,甚至是不同的结局进行修改。和很多人一样,我也经常在看完电影后感叹“这部电影和原作不一样”。
另一个问题是演员阵容。找到电影观众所接受的演员,有时决定着电影的成败。读者会通过自己的想象,将书中的人物形象化,角色的外貌、声音他们都有明确的想法。我认为选择的演员不符合他们的想象,成为很多电影改编失败的原因。
一些书由于技术原因很难拍成电影,虽然《少年派的奇幻漂流》等电影的出现正在改变这一问题。电脑生成动画技术对电影产业有重大影响,让以前无法拍摄的内容成为现实。
人们可能会认为,最适合改编电影的人应该是书籍作者本人。事实上,作者有时的确会参与改编,甚至可能担任电影编剧。但这其实有局限性,因为作者本人可能过于忠于书中内容,很难将其改编成一种新的形式。有时作者本人并不是电影编剧,于是出现了作者对自己作品所拍摄的电影版本非常不满意的情况。史蒂芬·金就是这样。小说家杰罗姆·大卫·塞林格更为极端,他永远不准自己广受欢迎的小说《麦田里的守望者》被拍成电影版本。如果是这样,读者就永远不会失望!不管怎样,我认为去看自己钟爱的书籍翻拍成的电影不会是个好主意。
尽管挑战重重,还是有一些改编自畅销书的电影取得了极大成功,例如《大白鲨》《哈利波特》和《指环王》都是成功的案例。可能最好的例子是詹姆斯·邦德系列,该系列的大部分作品都改编自伊恩·弗来明的《007》小说。系列影片中詹姆斯·邦德的扮演者经常换人,但观众们似乎也能接受,这让人难以相信。但我相信每位观众和我一样,都有自己最喜欢的那个扮演者。

[翻译] 因为电影通常只有两小时左右,所以在有限的时间里,编剧要决定书中哪部分适合银幕,哪部分不适合成为了一个问题。

帮我解决问题,你真是太好了。
2.it作形式主语替代主语从句
(1)It is+adj.+从句
It is clear (obvious/true/possible/certain/...) that...
该句型中it 是形式主语,真正的主语是that引导的主语从句,常译为“清楚(显然,真的……)”。例如:

很明显他又胖又高像一棵树。

(3)It is+n.+that...
It is a pity (a shame/an honor/a good thing/a fact/a surprise/...) that...
该句型中,如果表示出乎意料等感情,that后的从句一般用虚拟语气,即谓语动词用“should+动词原形”,should可省去,常译为“竟然”。没有这种意义时,则不用虚拟语气。例如:
It is a pity that such a thing (should) happen in your class.
这种事竟然发生在你们班上,真是遗憾!
It is a pity that he is ill.
他生病了,真遗憾!
四、it作形式宾语
当复合宾语中的宾语是不定式、动名词或宾语从句时,往往把宾语放在它的补足语后面,而用it 作形式宾语,放在宾语补足语之前。常用的动词有think,believe,make,find,consider,feel等。
I think it no use arguing with him.
我认为和他争吵没有用。
I found it very interesting to study English.
我发现学英语非常有趣。

It was not until I got off the bus that I realized it.
=I didn't realize it until I got off the bus.

3.疑问句

Was it you who/that broke the window
是你把窗户打破的吗?
(2)强调句的特殊疑问句,只需在一般疑问句前加上特殊疑问词即可,即:特殊疑问词+is/was it+that+其他部分:
Who was it that broke the window
打破窗户的是谁?
When was it that you called me yesterday
你昨天是什么时候打电话给我的?
【名师点津】 (1)不论强调句子的哪一部分,都可用that连接句子的其余部分。

(3)it之后的be动词的时态通常要与that之后的谓语保持一致。

Still,I was more concerned about my husband's emotional state than our financial situation.David's sense of identity was tied to his job.He called his parents to tell them about losing his job,but didn't say a word to anyone else for weeks.He told me that he felt like “a failure”.It was tough for me to watch David struggle with unemployment.One night a couple of weeks after he lost his job,David woke me just before midnight,sweating,pacing the bedroom floor and saying he felt funny.We spent the night in the emergency room waiting to see if he had a heart attack.Thankfully,it was just a serious anxiety attack.It was then that I knew I needed to do more to understand what my husband was going through.Here is what I learned from my own experience—and from talking to experts—on how to support your spouse through a job loss. 做这类题目时考生应通读全文,把握作者的写作思路,考生可在下文找出作者已经阐明的问题或观点,接下来文章将会如何发展便一目了然了。例如本段材料最后提到“...on how to support your spouse through a job loss.”可知,作者从专家那里了解到如何帮助配偶度过失业的时期,由此可以推断,下面的文章应该是叙述作者如何帮助丈夫度过那段时期的。
