[湖南长沙一中2023高一月考] B
Dunkirk is one of the best Nolan films and, as usual, he blew me away with intelligence within each shot.However, a source of annoyance in the film was his choice to fill almost every scene with loud sounds all the way through. That was especially annoying when there was enough background noise to heighten the tension.
While the sound left much to be desired, I fell in love with the rest of the film. I was so absorbed in the story that I almost felt I was on the beach or escaping on one of the small boats. Any sense of being blessed with a minute to relax is a false positive because within seconds the stress will pick up again but even more so. Possibly the closest I've been to cardiac arrest was watching a scene from this film where the soldiers are attempting to plug bullet holes
(塞住弹孔) in a boat in order to keep it afloat and yet they know they could be hit by more bullets coming through the hull (船身) at any time.
The storytelling feels highly original too. We are presented with three different locations (the beach, the sea and the sky) from which everything takes place. Each location tells the story over a different period of time so when all three meet we are treated to a visual masterpiece of a sinking boat from three points of view.
It's difficult to judge the performances because much emphasis (重点) is put on visuals rather than dialogue but Mark Rylance stands out as Mr Dawson, captain of one of the small boats that come to the soldiers' rescue. The looks he gives his son on the trip to Dunkirk show so much about the relationship between the two. The other actor that stands out is Harry Styles. However, Styles had the “showiest” role and pulled it off well considering this was his first attempt at acting in a feature film (故事片).
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章是电影《敦刻尔克》的影评。
1.What does the author think of the sound effects in Dunkirk ( )
D
A.Strange. B.Deep. C.Brilliant. D.Uncomfortable.
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句可知,作者认为这部影片的音效令人不舒服。
2.What kind of feeling does the underlined part “the closest I've been to cardiac arrest” convey ( )
C
A.Excitement. B.Sympathy. C.Tension. D.Doubt.
解析 推理判断题。根据画线部分前一句Any sense of being blessed with a minute to relax is a false positive because within seconds the stress will pick up again but even more so.及后文中对电影场景的描述可知,电影中的场景扣人心弦,让观众提心吊胆。由此可推测,画线部分要传达的情感是紧张。
3.What's unique about the storytelling in Dunkirk ( )
B
A.It is sea-centred. B.It has three angles.
C.It combines facts with opinions. D.It uses one character's point of view.
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,该影片用三个外景拍摄地讲述故事是它的独特之处。
4.Why is it hard to judge the performances in Dunkirk in the author's eyes ( )
A
A.It lacks dialogue. B.Some actors play for the first time.
C.It has few conflicts between characters. D.The actors present impressive styles.
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句It's difficult to judge the performances because much emphasis is put on visuals rather than dialogue… 可知,这部影片过于营造画面感,其中对话非常少,因此作者认为很难判断演员在该影片中的演技。

[江苏南京2023高一期末] Villains (反派角色) are some of the most memorable characters in films, but when we think of successful villains, they might show different features. In Star Wars, Emperor Palpatine is unable to understand others. It is not the same with Darth Vader, another bad guy in the movie—yet they are both clearly successful villains. The difference raises one question.1. .
Firstly, a horrible personal look can help to create frightening villains.2. . For example, in Martin Scorsese's films, villains with scars (疤痕) on their faces usually wear expensive suits while attacking people, which encourages audience to be afraid of their power.
.
B
F
Secondly, effective villains also have to test heroes in the story.3. . In Whiplash, the extremely strict jazz teacher never accepted any mistakes, and he often punished his students heavily. The hero, Andrew, one of his students with a strong will, was tested by having to face such a frightening villain again and again.
Here comes the last trick.4. . To become memorable and achieve a lasting place in filming history, a villain needs to have a purpose or motivation (动机).In Misery, the nurse Annie keeps her favourite writer, Paul, as a prisoner. What's her motivation She wants him to rewrite his next chapter as she is unhappy with the ending of his latest work.5. .
A
E
G
Next time you find yourself watching a villain on screen, see which of these tricks have been used to make them particularly memorable!
A.They can't just be beaten easily.
B.What makes a successful villain
C.Are villains really necessary in all films
D.The film is well organised in terms of the storyline.
E.It's necessary for a villain to be bad with a purpose.
F.This sense of fear can be achieved in different ways.
G.The screenwriter gave her a reason to move the story forward.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。电影中的反派角色经常令人记忆深刻,文章介绍了如何成功地塑造一个反派角色。
1.___
B
解析 根据上文的The difference raises one question.可知,设空处应是一个问句,答案应该选自B项或C项;根据第二、三、四段内容可知,这三段主要介绍了如何才能塑造一个成功的反派角色,是对B项(是什么塑造了成功的反派角色 )的具体回答。故选B项。
2.___
F
解析 根据第二段第一句Firstly, a horrible personal look can help to create frightening villains.可知,看起来非常可怕的外表可以帮助塑造令人恐惧的反派角色,F项(这种恐惧感可以通过不同的方式实现)承接上文内容,且下一句说明了可以用什么方式来营造恐惧感,是对F项的举例说明,衔接合理,符合语境。
3.___
A
解析 第三段第一句Secondly, effective villains also have to test heroes in the story.指出“有效的反派角色也要考验故事中的英雄”,A项(他们不可能被轻易打败)中的They指的是effective villains,是对上一句的引申说明,且下文中的实例阐述反派角色会不断为主人公带来阻碍和考验,解释了反派角色通常不会轻易被打败。故A项符合语境。
【方法总结】巧用代词的指代关系解答7选5
解7选5时,可通过分析代词在句中所作的成分和代词的单复数推断它所指代的内容,从而巧妙地利用代词的指代关系快速而准确地选出最佳选项。如本篇第3题,A项中的They指代effective villains。这个方法快捷有效,但是需要格外注意的是,所选的选项要和前后文衔接得当。
4.___
E
解析 根据下一句To become memorable and achieve a lasting place in filming history, a villain needs to have a purpose or motivation.可知,此处介绍要想让人印象深刻并在电影史上占据一席之地,反派角色需要有目的或动机。E项(反派必须是有目的的坏人)与其照应,下一句是对E项的进一步解释说明。故选E项。
5.___
G
解析 根据上一句She wants him to rewrite his next chapter as she is unhappy with the ending of his latest work.可知,此处介绍她的目的,G项(编剧给了她一个把故事向前推进的理由)中的her与上一句的she相呼应,并且句意承接上一句,衔接合理,符合语境。

9.Nowadays, cycling, along with jogging and swimming, ___________ (regard) as one of the best all-round forms of exercise.

解析 句意为:去年进行的一项调查表明,这座城市中80%的中年人都支持关于医疗改革的提议。分数、小数、百分数修饰名词作主语时,谓语动词的单复数取决于被修饰的名词表示的意义;此处the middle-aged表示“中年人”这一类人,谓语动词应用复数形式;设空处为that引导的宾语从句的系动词,根据主句谓语showed及时间状语last year可知,从句也应用一般过去时。

解析 句意为:睦剧是中国现存的众多传统剧种之一。设空处前有many修饰,应用可数名词复数形式。故填operas。
2.__________

解析 句意为:作为淳安县仅有的两个地方剧种之一,该剧种有100多年的历史,并在2011年被列为国家非物质文化遗产项目。由时间状语in 2011可知,此处应用一般过去时;主语the opera为单数概念,和list之间是被动关系,应用被动语态。故填was listed。此处list作动词,意为“把……列入”。
3.______
basis
解析 句意为:睦剧是在民间文学和歌舞的基础上发展起来的,它包含了许多民间表演艺术的精华,如采茶戏、花鼓戏和黄梅戏,以及淳安当地的竹马舞。on the basis of… 是固定短语,意为“在……的基础上”,设空处应用名词形式。故填basis。
4.____
the
解析 句意为:睦剧起源于清末的睦州,该地区包括如今杭州的淳安县,衢州的常山县和开化县,上饶的婺源县和黄山的歙县。表示在某一朝代,应用定冠词the进行修饰限定,in the late Qing Dynasty意为“在清末”,故填the。

解析 句意为:睦剧在1928年至1934年间达到巅峰。设空处作定语修饰名词peak,应用形容词性物主代词。故填its。
7._______
which
解析 句意为:一个成立于1954年的县级睦剧剧团对该剧的剧目、曲调和表演进行了各种各样深入的研究和大胆的改编。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词A county-level Muju Opera troupe指物,因此用关系代词which引导该从句。
【方法总结】如何分析语法填空中的定语从句
分析定语从句时,关键抓住三点:第一,找准先行词;第二,看定语从句的类型及关系词在定语从句中所作的成分;第三,选择关系代词或关系副词。先行词往往是名词、代词、整个主句或主句中的一部分,如本空所在句中,定语从句的先行词为A county-level Muju Opera troupe,指物;再分析定语从句部分可知,此处为非限制性定语从句,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导该从句。
8._____________

解析 句意见上一题解析。设空处修饰名词research,应用形容词;根据句意可知,设空处意为“各种各样的”,故填various/varied。
9.___
to
解析 句意为:淳安县是10个专业的睦剧剧团和30多个表演团队的所在地。be home to… 是固定短语,意为“是……的所在地”。故填to。
10._________
Featuring
解析 句意为:睦剧的调子类似于人们在田地里劳作时或收工后唱的民歌,长期受到当地居民的喜爱。分析句子结构可知,句子谓语是has long been favoured,设空处在句首作状语,应用非谓语形式,feature在此处作动词,意为“是……的特征”,和其逻辑主语Muju Opera之间是主动关系,因此设空处用现在分词表主动,句首单词首字母大写。故填Featuring。

[山东威海2022高一期末] How much should we believe what we see online
The film Searching follows a father, David Kim, who is looking for his daughter Margot who disappears. To help with the investigation, the father is asked to look into Margot's personal life. The more he discovers, the more he realizes he knew nothing about his daughter. The open-mouthed father learns that she made strange money transfers and participated in online chat rooms. In the film, we see how technology is important but also unreliable.While it helps David to uncover information, it asks a question: How much should we really believe
The film shows how real life can be distorted (扭曲) through Margot's Facebook account. She has a few hundred friends on Facebook but none in real life. It highlights how the Internet can show a false representation of someone. Furthermore, the content of her messages is miscommunicated.Social media quickly turns ugly as an innocent hashtag (话题标签) to find Margot soon turns to the public blaming the father: #thefatherdidit. With social media, everyone has a voice and hidden purposes, and even her classmates only pretend to care about her to use the publicity to promote themselves.
The film is recorded only via a computer screen rather than having the standard camera shots. This fairly new approach is refreshing. The father's computer changes over the years from Windows to a Macbook. The filming is very cleverly done and we begin to forget that it's all through a computer screen.
The film manages to draw the attention and hearts of the audience. It has a wonderful storyline and fresh perspective (视角) that mirrors technology in our own lives, making it of cultural and personal significance. So, if you're searching for a film to get lost in, this is the film for you.

[河南信阳2023高一期中质检] Michael Morgan was six years old when his father moved a neighbour's unwanted piano into their living room.“And that's really where the whole thing started,” he says.“My mother and grandmother had played the piano a little bit, but my father just thought it was a good thing to have in the house.” Young Michael started piano lessons, but it was when he saw a conductor leading an orchestra on television that he realised what he really wanted to do.
At age eight, he began reading The Joy of Music by conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein and got to know how to direct with a baton (指挥棒).
When Michael entered junior high, he joined an orchestra and learnt to play many instruments. He was just 12 years old when his instructor asked him to compose and conduct a concert piece. And that was only the beginning. Throughout high school, he continued to develop his artistic talent, and after graduating, he headed to the Oberlin Conservatory of Music.
Morgan is dedicated to offering kids a chance to explore classical music. In his hometown of Oakland, California, he started to volunteer in local schools, conducting student orchestras and talking with kids about music. Later, Morgan developed MUSE (Music for Excellence), a music education programme for kids.
He brings musicians from Oakland Symphony into classrooms to teach kids. He also works with teachers in after-school programmes to teach students who can't afford lessons.
Morgan says his work is mostly about providing young people with an entrance into music.“Instruments are a way for kids to express their feelings, and give them an interest they can carry with them through life,” he says.

[安徽十校联盟2023高一联考] A
A Midsummer Night's Dream may be one of Shakespeare's most performed plays—but its latest version from the Royal Shakespeare Company is unlike any seen before. Titled Dream, the 50-minute online production makes it possible for audiences to remotely guide the leading character Puck through a virtual forest.
In 2016, the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of The Tempest used high-tech to create a 3D digital image that was projected above the stage. The difference this time is that everything in the play—the performers and their surroundings—is shown virtually.
Seven actors perform in a specially-built studio. They are surrounded by a 360-degree camera set, made up of 47 cameras with every movement almost immediately presented digitally, which is presented to viewers online. With its much-reduced characters, Dream is not a complete production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, rather, it is a story inspired by it, focusing on Puck and the fairies (小精灵).
Up to 2,000 audience members for each performance can become part of the show and will be invited to guide Puck through the forest. On screen, the chosen audience will appear as a cloud of tiny fireflies (萤火虫).By using their mouse or finger on the screen of a smart device, they will be able to move their firefly across the screen, and Puck will be at their beck and call to go through the virtual space. For viewers watching at home, the virtual fairies moving through a digital forest will look more like a video game than the average Royal Shakespeare Company show.
“Without the fireflies—the audiences—Puck wouldn't be going anywhere,” said E.M.Williams who plays the role.“The audiences are very much the fuel and the energy of the show.”
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了皇家莎士比亚剧团将新技术引入到《仲夏夜之梦》这部戏剧中,以引起观众们的广泛参与和强烈的沉浸感。
1.What makes Dream different from A Midsummer Night's Dream ( )
D
A.The number of actors and actresses. B.The surroundings around the performers.
C.The 3D digital image it chooses to show. D.The way it presents everything in the play.
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句The difference this time is that everything in the play—the performers and their surroundings—is shown virtually.可知,这部名为《梦》的新剧的不同之处在于剧中的演员和他们周围的环境以虚拟形式呈现。由此判断,这个版本以不同的方式呈现剧中的一切。
2.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about ( )
C
A.Leading characters of the play. B.Audiences' opinions on the play.
C.The play's production process. D.The inspiration for the play.
解析 主旨大意题。根据第三段内容可知,七名演员在一个专门建造的演播室里表演。他们被一个由47个摄像机组成的摄像装置包围,每个动作几乎都是立即以数字化方式呈现给观众。由此可推测,本段主要介绍了这部剧的拍摄过程。
3.What does the underlined part “be at their beck and call” in Paragraph 4 probably mean ( )
A
A.Be ready to follow their order. B.Be happy to receive a call.
C.Be difficult to control. D.Be willing to guide them.
解析 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的Up to 2,000 audience members for each performance can become part of the show and will be invited to guide Puck through the forest.可知,观众们可以指引虚拟角色前进。由此可猜测,be at their beck and call意为“准备好听从他们的命令”。
4.What do E.M.Williams' words in the last paragraph show ( )
D
A.The cost of the show. B.The pleasure of the audiences.
C.The task of the leading character. D.The importance of the audiences.
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The audiences are very much the fuel and the energy of the show.”可知,正是因为观众作为“电子萤火虫”的参与,才使得这部戏剧变得独特起来,说明观众的参与是非常重要的。

It's OK to say you've never heard of Grime—unless you're from the UK.That's because this music type was invented in the UK in the early 2000s.
To someone who's not familiar with underground music culture, it's easy to get confused between hip-hop and Grime since they are both noisy. And many people didn't bother to tell them apart, until earlier this month when Grime stars like Stormzy led this year's MOBO—“music of black origin”—award nominations (提名) in the UK.
Just like UK electronic music and hip-hop, by which Grime was influenced, it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But different from hip-hop, Grime singers sing in dialects with strong accents, giving a special flavour to their songs.
Lady Leshurr, known as the “Grime Queen”, said that she once tried to hide her accent, as she didn't want people to judge her. But one day, she realized that she didn't need to change herself just to please others. And there's no doubt that this is the most basic and important quality of Grime music: be yourself.
Also different from the hip-hop culture, which usually focuses on being rich, Grime singers pay more attention to social phenomena like Europe's refugee problem and the gap between the rich and the poor.
Although still quite young, Grime seems to be getting favoured by more and more people. In 2016, the English Grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa, beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead. However, no matter whether Grime is one day accepted by the mainstream music world or not, one thing is for sure: In Grime, singers always stay true to themselves.

[广东深圳2022高一期末] A
Having moved to a new city, I was looking for things to do in my spare time. I intended to meet new people, for I am a social person. Hearing that the Confucius Institute for Business (CIB )was offering Chinese evening classes on the university campus, I was determined to sign up for Level 1 class.
This initial (最初的) decision was made on a whim.I had no grand career goals or plans to travel to China in the near future. Learning a new language was the fact that it was not something I had done before. My mother is from Spain and I was raised with two languages, but there is a huge difference between acquiring a language in childhood and learning one in adulthood. I expected to find out how I would get along with Chinese.
建议用时:50分钟
In each class our Chinese teacher would teach us what seemed like thousands of new words and expressions, and then get us to act them out in role-plays reproducing basic Chinese introductions and conversations. After each lesson I felt as though my brain had been placed in a deep oil pot for a long time. But then, I began to realize that the more my brain ached right after class, the more information I had taken in. I found that the Chinese words and expressions
our classes had covered would rush unexpectedly into my head at any moment, such as when I was in the shower or driving to work. I have now completed the Business Confucius Level 3 class and am able to hold basic conversations with Chinese people on a variety of topics.
This experience helps me a lot. Recently I landed a new job in the School of Law at the University of Leeds, providing job opportunities for Chinese students. Learning Chinese helps me in my career and further fuels my motivation for continuing my studies.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者学习中文的经历、感受和收获。
1.What was the writer's purpose of signing up for the Chinese class ( )
A

2.What does the underlined word “whim” in Paragraph 2 probably mean ( )
C
A.Deep love. B.Careful thought. C.Sudden wish. D.Strange dream.
解析 词义猜测题。根据文章第一段最后两句和第二段中的I had no grand career goals or plans to travel to China in the near future.Learning a new language was the fact that it was not something I had done before.可知,最初作者学中文的决定是一时的念头,只是为了结交新朋友。由此可知,画线词意为“突然的想法”,与C项意思相近。故选C项。
3.What can be known about the writer from Paragraph 3 ( )
D
A.He was an expert in spelling words. B.He enjoyed the Chinese classes a lot.
C.He was troubled by those Chinese words. D.He made great progress in learning Chinese.

[黑龙江大庆实验中学2022高一期末] B
The commonly held view is that people arrived in North America from Asia via a land bridge once connecting the two continents. But recent discoveries have suggested humans might have been there earlier. Researchers studying fossilized (变成化石) human footprints in New Mexico say that humans were there at least 23,000 years ago.
Matthew Bennett, a specialist in ancient footprints, and his colleagues studied 61 footprints by radiocarbon (放射性碳) dating layers of aquatic (水生的) plant seeds preserved above and below the footprints, which were co
