(2022·江苏徐州·新沂市第一中学校考模拟预测)Four of the best films to watch this May
The Bob’s Burgers Movie
After 12 seasons and more than 200 episodes, the much-loved animated sitcom finally makes it to the big screen. In the movie, a huge sinkhole opens in the street in front of a fast-food restaurant, so the brave children investigate. The series’ creator promises a “musical comedy mystery adventure” that retains the programme’s warmth and quickfire humour.
Released internationally on 27 May
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
The latest blockbuster (大片) has the Sorcerer Supreme risking beyond our own universe and into countless other realities, where he and Scarlet Witch meet various versions of themselves. The film’s director, Sam Raimi, is best known for The Evil Dead, and the Spider-Man trilogy starring Tobey Maguire, so who better to put horror and superheroes into one film Raimi told Fandango. “It’s unknown what you’ll find in the multiverse. It’s within that unknown that suspense and darkness exists... Plus, Doctor Strange in the comics has always dealt in universes and dimensions that were quite spooky, so we tried to bring some of that into this film.”
Released internationally on 6 May
Top Gun: Maverick
It’s been delayed and delayed and delayed again, but Top Gun: Maverick is flying into cinemas at last, exactly four years after shooting began in May 2018. In the first Top Gun film, which came out back in 1986, Tom Cruise starred as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, a fighter pilot in the US Navy. What we can expect are lots of supersonic flight sequences, and magazine-worthy shots of Cruise on the runway in his Aviator shades. Altogether now: “I feel the need, the need for speed.”
Released internationally on 27 May
Firestarter

(2020秋·北京丰台·高三统考期末)Fun STEM Things to Do Over Winter Break Winter break is just around the corner. We’re here to fill the time with fun projects and outings for all ages! Each of these activities is fun enough to pull your kids off the couch and away from the games.
An educational field trip
Ages: All
Spending a couple of weeks in the house can make anyone crazy. Why not take your kids on an educational field trip Local children’s museums or science and technology museums will be a hit. These museums provide opportunities for hands-on exploration, so your kids will be able to interact with STEM subjects, instead of just watching them.
Many of them offer discounted tickets on certain days. Read the fine print online to see if you can visit for less.
Science experiments at home
Ages: All
Science experiments aren’t just for school. In fact, your kids could probably spend the entirety of their winter break exploring science with nothing more than objects you’d find around the house. For younger kids, making frozen bubbles is a great way to explore the scientific process. Teens can look to a list of 15 age-appropriate experiments for inspiration.
Start building
Ages: All
There’s no better way to explore engineering principles than to start building! Gather up any number of household objects—plastic cups, LEGO blocks, straws—and start building. If you want some suggestions for what to build and how to build it, Google is your best friend.
Electrical engineering
Ages: 14–18
Light up your holiday season with one of our handy guides. In the past, we showed readers how to create a Tech-o-Lantern costume, and those same principles could be used to create other light-up projects. We also created a simple guide for creating a light-up holiday card and that’s perfect for Christmas.
We hope these fun STEM activities will keep your kids happily occupied over winter break.
28.Who is this passage probably written for
A.Parents. B.Teachers.
C.Camp organizers. D.School leaders.
29.If you want to make a thank-you card with lights, you may prefer _________.
A.Electrical engineering B.Science experiments at home
C.Start building D.An educational field trip
30.The winter break STEM activities _________.
A.are organized outdoors
B.need to be done with family
C.are free to children of all ages
D.give children hands-on experience
【答案】28.A 29.A 30.D
【分析】这是一篇应用文。介绍了寒假里为学生准备的在科学,技术,工程,数学方面的4个活动。
28.推理判断题。文章开始:“Each of these activities is fun enough to pull your kids off the couch and away from the games.”,这些活动中的每一个都足够有趣足够使你们的孩子离开沙发,远离游戏,这里的your就是指的孩子们的父母,选项A说这篇文章是为父母而写的,切题,故选A。
29.细节理解题。第4个活动中:“We also created a simple guide for creating a light-up holiday card……”,我们也能够指导制作带有闪亮灯的节日贺卡。题目是问要想制作带有灯的感谢卡,最好参加哪项活动,选项A是第4个活动,切题,故选A。
30.推理判断题。题目问:寒假的科学,技术,工程,数学方面的4个活动具有的特点,选项A:在户外组织的,从第1个活动:“Local children’s museums or science and technology museums will be a hit.”,看出该活动是孩子们参观一些博物馆,而博物馆不是户外的,选项A错误。选项B:需要和家庭一起完成,选项C:对所有年龄的孩子免费,这两项在文章找不到对应的细节,选项D:这些活动能让孩子们去亲身体验。4个活动:参观博物馆,在家做科学实验,用家庭里有的物品建造东西来探索工程原理,制作闪光的物品,这些活动都是要叫孩子动手、动脑的活动,所以是孩子们能亲身体验的,文中一开始:“Each of these activities is fun enough to pull your kids off the couch and away from the games.”就表述了这4个活动与看电视和玩游戏的不同,选项D切题,故选D。
【点睛】阅读理解题目中有两种对细节内容进行确定,再推理的方法:排除法和直接判定法,本题中的第3题,要将这两种方法结合使用。选项A可以在文中直接找到相关内容,来认定其错误,剩下的三个选项中B、C选项在文中没有明确的表述,应该先定为可疑项,作好记号,选项D乍一看文中也没有直接表述的内容来支撑,但通读完全文,了解了4个活动的内容和目的后,可以推理出他们都是需要孩子们自己亲身参与的活动,而不是像看电视那样被动、消极接受的活动,再结合文中开头与看电视、玩游戏进行的对比,说明这4个活动是需要孩子们亲身参与的,亲身体验的,从而选定正确答案。

(2021·上海杨浦·复旦附中校考模拟预测)There is no such thing as a perfect woman, and Nothing but Thirty screenwriter Zhang Yingji wanted to convey this message in telling the stories of three different women, who have found very different ways to climb their own mountains.
Wang Manni is a woman who will climb any mountain as long as she finds it challenging. Zhong Xiaoqin is one who will only climb if she has someone to go along with her. She will not overexert herself, and she will definitely stop once she has reached a comfortable place. Gu Jia, on the other hand, has already started to think about reaching the peak before she even starts the climb, regardless of whether she is alone or has company.
In a sense, the scriptwriter purposely created Gu Jia as the perfect woman of thirty. She is married, with a successful husband and a young son. She is living the dream, but Gu Jia does not feel complete. She feels lost. She is flawed. She has episodes of succumbing to her own greed and disregard to those around her.
“She is someone who chases alter perfection.” said Tong Yao (who portrays Gu Jia). “Obviously, this is stressful for those around her. She hides things. She isn’t perfect, but in front of others, she has to stay perfect.”
Her chase for perfection and her stubbornness to maintain this image has effected many of the relationships in her life. She chases after what she believes is right for others. Because of this, she and her husband start to see and value things differently, which puts a strain on their relationship.
Gu Jia’s personal struggles give life to the character. Many viewers are able to relate to her, and, through her character, find a shadow of themselves. There’s still a lot left that we can learn from the women of Nothing but Thirty, but maybe like them, we too can find the courage in ourselves to walk on that road which is truly meant for us.
1.According to the article, which of the following best describes Zhong Xiaoqin’s personality
A.Ambitious and goal-driven B.Moderate and content
C.Aimless and impulsive D.Visionary and independent
2.According to Paragraph 3, what is not true about Gu Jia’s life
A.She has her own worries and insecurities.
B.She leads a seemingly perfect and enviable life.
C.She can be greedy and insensitive to others’ feelings.
D.She is discontented with life because of her husband.
3.According to the passage, audiences have a preference for Gu Jia mainly because she ________.
A.is a perfectionist B.stands up to her husband
C.balances her work and life well D.displays some identifiable traits
4.What is the main purpose of this passage
A.To call attention to the rise of feminism.
B.To introduce the plot of Nothing but Thirty.
C.To contrast the main characters of Nothing but Thirty.
D.To encourage viewers to find inspiration in Nothing but Thirty.
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.D 4.D
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。世界上没有完美的女人,而《三十而已》的编剧张英基通过讲述三个不同的女人的故事来传达这个信息,她们用不同的方式去攀登自己的山峰。作者鼓励观众在《三十而已》中寻找灵感。
1.推理判断题。根据第二段中“Zhong Xiaoqin is one who will only climb if she has someone to go along with her. She will not overexert herself, and she will definitely stop once she has reached a comfortable place.(钟小琴是那种只有有人陪她一起爬才会爬的人。 她不会过度劳累,而且一旦她到达一个舒适的地方,她肯定会停止)”推知,钟小琴是一个温和的、知足常乐的性格。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中“In a sense, the scriptwriter purposely created Gu Jia as the perfect woman of thirty. She is married, with a successful husband and a young son. She is living the dream, but Gu Jia does not feel complete. She feels lost. She is flawed.(在某种意义上,编剧有意将顾佳塑造成一个三十岁的完美女人。 她结婚了,有一个成功的丈夫和一个年幼的儿子。她活在梦想中,但顾佳并不觉得完整。她觉得自己迷失了。她是有缺陷的)”,可知,根据第三段,关于顾佳的生活,“她因为丈夫对生活不满”是不正确的。故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Her chase for perfection and her stubbornness to maintain this image has effected many of the relationships in her life. She chases after what she believes is right for others.(她对完美的追求和她对保持这种形象的执着影响了她生活中的许多关系。她追求她认为对别人正确的东西)”可知,根据文章所述,观众之所以喜欢顾佳,主要是因为她有一些可辨认的特质。故选D。
4.目的意图题。根据第一段“There is no such thing as a perfect woman, and Nothing but Thirty screenwriter Zhang Yingji wanted to convey this message in telling the stories of three different women, who have found very different ways to climb their own mountains.(世界上没有完美的女人,而《三十而已》的编剧张英基想通过讲述三个不同的女人的故事来传达这个信息,她们用不同的方式去攀登自己的山峰)”和最后一段中“There’s still a lot left that we can learn from the women of Nothing but Thirty, but maybe like them, we too can find the courage in ourselves to walk on that road which is truly meant for us.(我们还可以从《三十而已》的女性身上学到很多,但也许像她们一样,我们也能找到勇气,走在这条真正适合我们的道路上)”推知,这篇文章是鼓励观众在《三十而已》中寻找灵感。故选D。

变式题型三:提升类(难度0.4)

(2022·上海·模拟预测)Once again DC Comics and Warner Bros. have divided fans and critics over their latest superhero film.
There had been worrying news about Justice League in the months before its release, with a lot of reshoots of scenes, a new director being brought in to finish the film after original director Zack Snyder’s tragic loss of his daughter and, of course, a lot of talk about Ben Affleck’s future in the role of Batman.
Some people are saying that Justice League is another big disappointment, that it could have been incredible and instead fails to really entertain. Others say that Warner Bros. have finally got it right and that the future for the League looks bright.
My opinion lies somewhere in the middle. The film was by no means a disappointment: it was exciting, funny and a lot of fun to watch. There’s something special about watching the heroes from your childhood brought to life on the big screen and maybe that is affecting my opinion.
However, I will say that a lot of work needs to be done if the producer wants to make a great success. Although the film was good, it was obvious which scenes had been reshot and how the characters had been changed. I also have to mention the several scenes in which the special effects were very badly done; these are the kinds of problems that you don’t expect to see in a film with such a big budget.
Another point to add is that it is good to see the producer making Superman slightly a brighter character and adding some jokes to the plot to keep things fun. But the producer must be careful not to make the mistake that another film producer—here, not mentioning the name—is coming very close to doing: turning all of the films into bright and colorful shows and losing a lot of seriously good stories.
In the end, Justice League is not a perfect film but it is definitely not a terrible one. A lot of work is still to be done but I hope that DC does not completely lose its darker side.
8.Before the release of Justice League, many people showed their ______.
A.pity for the director, Zack Snyder B.concern about the film’s quality
C.higher expectation of the new director D.support for the actor, Ben Affleck
9.According to the author, what’s special about Justice League
A.It advocates social justice. B.It brings lots of fun to the audience.
C.It has some brave heroes. D.It brings back childhood memories.
10.In Paragraph 5 the author mainly wants to express his ______.
A.views on the film’s weakness B.advice to the film’s director
C.love for the film D.expectation of the film’s sequels
11.The author mentioned another film producer to ______.
A.stress the importance of fun in a film
B.show Justice League’s lack of a serious plot
C.serve as a warning to the producer of Justice League
D.set an example for the producer of Justice League
【答案】8.B 9.D 10.A 11.C
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了作者对《正义联盟》这部电影的看法。
8.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“There had been worrying news about Justice League in the months before its release, with a lot of reshoots of scenes, a new director being brought in to finish the film after original director Zack Snyder’s tragic loss of his daughter”可知,在《正义联盟》上映前的几个月里,一直有令人担忧的消息,原导演扎克·斯奈德因女儿离世而无法继续拍摄,所以一位新导演来继续拍摄,很多场景都进行了重新拍摄,由此可知,在上映之前,很多人都很担心《正义联盟》的质量,故B项正确。
9.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“There’s something special about watching the heroes from your childhood brought to life on the big screen and maybe that is affecting my opinion.”可知,作者说在大银幕上看到童年时代的英雄们变得栩栩如生的感觉很特别,由此可知,作者认为《正义联盟》的特别之处是它能唤起童年的回忆,故D项正确。
10.主旨大意题。根据第五段内容可知,本段主要介绍了《正义联盟》这部电影存在很多不足,比如重拍的场景很明显、角色的改变也有缺陷以及几个场景的特效很糟糕,同时指出如果制片人想取得巨大成功,还需要做很多工作,由此可知,作者在这一段主要表达他对这部电影的不足之处的看法,故A项正确。
11.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But the producer must be careful not to make the mistake that another film producer—here, not mentioning the name—is coming very close to doing: turning all of the films into bright and colorful shows and losing a lot of seriously good stories.”可知,但制片人必须小心,不要和另一个制片人一样犯这种错误:把所有的电影都变成亮丽多彩的表演,而失去很多非常好的故事,由此可知作者提到另一个制片人就是提醒《正义联盟》的制片人不要犯同样的错误,故C项正确。

(2021·安徽·校联考模拟预测)We’ve all heard the stories of an actor’s struggles before a career breakthrough: living a hard life, working part time, being a couch potato before getting that major role. Shelby, the star of “A Dog’s Way Home,” has a hard-luck tale that could top them all. Before her big break, she was living in a landfill, rooting through garbage for her next meal.
Shelby’s big break came in April 2017, when animal-control officer Megan Buhler was driving in Cheatham County, Tennessee. Out on an unrelated call, Buhler spotted and approached what she recalled was a noticeably scared puppy emerging from the dump. “I knelt down and just said, ‘Oh, come here, baby,’” said Buhler. “She was so scared, but she came right up to me, and I was able to put her in my truck.” The pair headed to the county animal shelter, where the staff began calling the new resident Baby Girl.
Buhler and others didn’t know that 3,200 kilometers away, Hollywood was looking for a dog to play Bella in a film written by Cathryn Michon. The find-a-Bella job went to freelance trainer Teresa Ann Miller. Her mission was to search shelters nationwide for a dog that could play Bella. One day, Miller spotted Baby Girl’s adoption photo. “Honestly, it was a really good picture, and she was flat-out smiling,” Miller said. Then she met Baby Girl, and assessed her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands. After assessment, she adopted Baby Girl from the shelter, renamed her Shelby and took her to California for training. Miller and Shelby trained for just over three months before filming began. Then they were together each day on the set.
Most of the film’s reviews have praised Shelby’s performance. Variety made the comments “an amazing dog, perfect performance!”
Shelby has come a long way from the garbage dump. But Buhler said when she saw Shelby recently she just needed only a second to compare the movie star with the dog she found from piles of trash. “She’s exactly the same,” Buhler said.
1.Why does the author mention an actor’s struggle before a career breakthrough at the very beginning
A.To clearly point out the main idea of the passage.
B.To attract reader’s attention by giving dramatic examples.
C.To introduce a dog’s similar but even more striking experiences.
D.To make a sharp contrast between an actor’s struggle and a dog’s struggle.
2.What finally helped Baby Girl get the big role in the film
A.Her adoption picture. B.Her personality and ability.
C.Her flat-out smiling. D.Her miserable experiences.
3.By saying “She is exactly the same” in the last paragraph, Buhler probably means ________.
A.the dog looked exactly the same as before
B.the dog’s really excited to live such a happy life
C.the dog returned to the piles of trash where she found it
D.the dramatic change of the dog’s life hasn’t changed her inner quality
4.What do you think may serve as the best title of the passage
A.The Trainer and Her Star Dog B.Shelby’s Hard-luck Story
C.From a Landfill Puppy to a Movie Star D.The Success of “A Dog’s Way Home”
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.D 4.C
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个从垃圾场发现的小狗从事演艺事业的故事。
1.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Before her big break, she was living in a landfill, rooting through garbage for her next meal. (在她有重大突破之前,她住在垃圾堆里,翻着垃圾寻找下一顿饭)”可推知,作者在一开始就提到了一个演员在事业取得突破之前的奋斗,是为了介绍一只狗的类似但更引人注目的经历。故选C项。
2.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Then she met Baby Girl, and assessed her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands. After assessment, she adopted Baby Girl from the shelter, renamed her Shelby and took her to California for training. (然后她接触了Baby Girl,并对她的性格和对简单命令的反应能力进行了评估。经过评估,她从收容所收养了Baby Girl,给她改名为Shelby,并带她去加州接受培训)”可知,Baby Girl的性格和能力最终帮助她在电影中获得了重要角色。故选B项。
3.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Shelby has come a long way from the garbage dump. But Buhler said when she saw Shelby recently she just needed only a second to compare the movie star with the dog she found from piles of trash. (Shelby从垃圾场一路走来。但Buhler说,她最近看到谢尔比只用了一秒钟就把这位电影明星和她在垃圾堆里找到的那条狗做了比较)”可推知,通过在最后一段中说“她完全一样”,Buhler可能是指狗狗生活的巨大变化并没有改变她的内在品质。故选D项。
4.主旨大意题。主旨大意题。通读全文,在通过文章第二段“a noticeably scared puppy emerging from the dump (一只从垃圾堆里出来的明显害怕的小狗)”以及倒数第二段“an amazing dog, perfect performance (一只神奇的狗,完美的表现)”可推知,本文主要介绍了一只从垃圾场出来的小狗成为一名电影明星的引人注目的经历。C项“从垃圾场的小狗到电影明星”符合文意,最适合作为本文标题。故选C项。

(2022·江苏徐州·新沂市第一中学校考模拟预测)Four of the best films to watch this May
The Bob’s Burgers Movie
After 12 seasons and more than 200 episodes, the much-loved animated sitcom finally makes it to the big screen. In the movie, a huge sinkhole opens in the street in front of a fast-food restaurant, so the brave children investigate. The series’ creator promises a “musical comedy mystery adventure” that retains the programme’s warmth and quickfire humour.
Released internationally on 27 May
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
The latest blockbuster (大片) has the Sorcerer Supreme risking beyond our own universe and into countless other realities, where he and Scarlet Witch meet various versions of themselves. The film’s director, Sam Raimi, is best known for The Evil Dead, and the Spider-Man trilogy starring Tobey Maguire, so who better to put horror and superheroes into one film Raimi told Fandango. “It’s unknown what you’ll find in the multiverse. It’s within that unknown that suspense and darkness exists... Plus, Doctor Strange in the comics has always dealt in universes and dimensions that were quite spooky, so we tried to bring some of that into this film.”
Released internationally on 6 May
Top Gun: Maverick
It’s been delayed and delayed and delayed again, but Top Gun: Maverick is flying into cinemas at last, exactly four years after shooting began in May 2018. In the first Top Gun film, which came out back in 1986, Tom Cruise starred as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, a fighter pilot in the US Navy. What we can expect are lots of supersonic flight sequences, and magazine-worthy shots of Cruise on the runway in his Aviator shades. Altogether now: “I feel the need, the need for speed.”
Released internationally on 27 May
Firestarter
Firestarter, a horror film about psychic-powered children, is adapted from Stephen King’s 1980 novel. It’s the story of Charlene, a girl with “pyrokinesis”: whenever she gets upset, things burst into flames. The previous adaptation came out in 1984, with Drew Barrymore in the title role. But the new film’s director, Keith Thomas, believes that there was room for improvement.

Gu Jia, on the other hand, has already started to think about reaching the peak before she even starts the climb, regardless of whether she is alone or has company.
In a sense, the scriptwriter purposely created Gu Jia as the perfect woman of thirty. She is married, with a successful husband and a young son. She is living the dream, but Gu Jia does not feel complete. She feels lost. She is flawed. She has episodes of succumbing to her own greed and disregard to those around her.
“She is someone who chases alter perfection.” said Tong Yao (who portrays Gu Jia). “Obviously, this is stressful for those around her. She hides things. She isn’t perfect, but in front of others, she has to stay perfect.”
Her chase for perfection and her stubbornness to maintain this image has effected many of the relationships in her life. She chases after what she believes is right for others. Because of this, she and her husband start to see and value things differently, which puts a strain on their relationship.
Gu Jia’s personal struggles give life to the character. Many viewers are able to relate to her, and, through her character, find a shadow of themselves. There’s still a lot left that we can learn from the women of Nothing but Thirty, but maybe like them, we too can find the courage in ourselves to walk on that road which is truly meant for us.

变式题型三:提升类(难度0.4)

(2022·上海·模拟预测)Once again DC Comics and Warner Bros. have divided fans and critics over their latest superhero film.
There had been worrying news about Justice League in the months before its release, with a lot of reshoots of scenes, a new director being brought in to finish the film after original director Zack Snyder’s tragic loss of his daughter and, of course, a lot of talk about Ben Affleck’s future in the role of Batman.
Some people are saying that Justice League is another big disappointment, that it could have been incredible and instead fails to really entertain. Others say that Warner Bros. have finally got it right and that the future for the League looks bright.
My opinion lies somewhere in the middle. The film was by no means a disappointment: it was exciting, funny and a lot of fun to watch. There’s something special about watching the heroes from your childhood brought to life on the big screen and maybe that is affecting my opinion.
However, I will say that a lot of work needs to be done if the producer wants to make a great success. Although the film was good, it was obvious which scenes had been reshot and how the characters had been changed. I also have to mention the several scenes in which the special effects were very badly done; these are the kinds of problems that you don’t expect to see in a film with such a big budget.
Another point to add is that it is good to see the producer making Superman slightly a brighter character and adding some jokes to the plot to keep things fun. But the producer must be careful not to make the mistake that another film producer—here, not mentioning the name—is coming very close to doing: turning all of the films into bright and colorful shows and losing a lot of seriously good stories.
In the end, Justice League is not a perfect film but it is definitely not a terrible one. A lot of work is still to be done but I hope that DC does not completely lose its darker side.
8.Before the release of Justice League, many people showed their ______.
A.pity for the director, Zack Snyder B.concern about the film’s quality
C.higher expectation of the new director D.support for the actor, Ben Affleck
9.According to the author, what’s special about Justice League
A.It advocates social justice. B.It brings lots of fun to the audience.
C.It has some brave heroes. D.It brings back childhood memories.
10.In Paragraph 5 the author mainly wants to express his ______.
A.views on the film’s weakness B.advice to the film’s director
C.love for the film D.expectation of the film’s sequels
11.The author mentioned another film producer to ______.
A.stress the importance of fun in a film
B.show Justice League’s lack of a serious plot
C.serve as a warning to the producer of Justice League
D.set an example for the producer of Justice League

(2021·安徽·校联考模拟预测)We’ve all heard the stories of an actor’s struggles before a career breakthrough: living a hard life, working part time, being a couch potato before getting that major role. Shelby, the star of “A Dog’s Way Home,” has a hard-luck tale that could top them all. Before her big break, she was living in a landfill, rooting through garbage for her next meal.
Shelby’s big break came in April 2017, when animal-control officer Megan Buhler was driving in Cheatham County, Tennessee. Out on an unrelated call, Buhler spotted and approached what she recalled was a noticeably scared puppy emerging from the dump. “I knelt down and just said, ‘Oh, come here, baby,’” said Buhler. “She was so scared, but she came right up to me, and I was able to put her in my truck.” The pair headed to the county animal shelter, where the staff began calling the new resident Baby Girl.
Buhler and others didn’t know that 3,200 kilometers away, Hollywood was looking for a dog to play Bella in a film written by Cathryn Michon. The find-a-Bella job went to freelance trainer Teresa Ann Miller. Her mission was to search shelters nationwide for a dog that could play Bella. One day, Miller spotted Baby Girl’s adoption photo. “Honestly, it was a really good picture, and she was flat-out smiling,” Miller said. Then she met Baby Girl, and assessed her on personality and the ability to respond to simple commands. After assessment, she adopted Baby Girl from the shelter, renamed her Shelby and took her to California for training. Miller and Shelby trained for just over three months before filming began. Then they were together each day on the set.
Most of the film’s reviews have praised Shelby’s performance. Variety made the comments “an amazing dog, perfect performance!”
Shelby has come a long way from the garbage dump. But Buhler said when she saw Shelby recently she just needed only a second to compare the movie star with the dog she found from piles of trash. “She’s exactly the same,” Buhler said.
1.Why does the author mention an actor’s struggle before a career breakthrough at the very beginning
A.To clearly point out the main idea of the passage.
B.To attract reader’s attention by giving dramatic examples.
C.To introduce a dog’s similar but even more striking experiences.
D.To make a sharp contrast between an actor’s struggle and a dog’s struggle.
2.What finally helped Baby Girl get the big role in the film
A.Her adoption picture. B.Her personality and ability.
C.Her flat-out smiling. D.Her miserable experiences.
3.By saying “She is exactly the same” in the last paragraph, Buhler probably means ________.
A.the dog looked exactly the same as before
B.the dog’s really excited to live such a happy life
C.the dog returned to the piles of trash where she found it
D.the dramatic change of the dog’s life hasn’t changed her inner quality
4.What do you think may serve as the best title of the passage
A.The Trainer and Her Star Dog B.Shelby’s Hard-luck Story
C.From a Landfill Puppy to a Movie Star D.The Success of “A Dog’s Way Home”
