Mickey Mouse and Shrek are just a couple of the American animated(动画的) characters loved by the world over. And they are examples of the evolution of animation, which has brought unique new life to the film industry.
Among the first American animated films was By the Light of the Moon, a silent movie produced in 1911 using silhouette(剪影) animation, where the characters are represented only as black silhouettes.
The real breakthrough for American animation came with Steamboat Willie, created by Walt Disney and released in 1928. It was the first animated film to be accompanied by sound, and its main star, Mickey Mouse, became one of the most loveable and enduring animated characters ever created. Disney also created the first American full-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Released in 1937, it enjoyed worldwide box-office success.
Disney's extremely careful attention to high-quality details in the thousands of hand-painted drawings required at that time to make an animated film elevated this film technique to the level of a serious art form.
Clay animation is a type of stop-motion animation using forms made of clay. Clay animation films have been produced in the United States since 1908. But this form of animation only won wide popular appeal in 1955 with a short film called Gumbasia, created by Art Clokey.
Computer-generated imagery, or CGI, brought animation to a new level of artistry and realism. Used in film since the 1960s, CGI animation began to develop rapidly in the mid-1990s. Toy Story, released in 1995 and created by Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Pictures, was the first completely computer-generated animated feature film.
In 2001, DreamWorks and Pacific Data Images released Shrek, the first computer-animated feature film to win an Oscar. Shrek returned in 2004 with his talking donkey, his princess bride Fiona and an army of fairy-tale characters in Shrek 2. Hugely popular, that film became the highest-grossing(票房最高的) animated film of all time.
In addition to strictly animated movies, animation has been mixed into films showing live actors as well. Who can forget the terrifyingly real dinosaurs thundering through Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park movies and the actors they chase Thanks to the powerful capabilities of today's computers and the unlimited imagination of American filmmakers, animation will be entertaining audiences worldwide for a long time to come.
1. The passage is mainly about the _____ of animation.
A. influence B. popularity C. characters D. development
2. Which film marked the beginning of the complete digital age of American animation
A. By the Light of the Moon. B. Steamboat Willie.
C. Toy Story. D. Shrek.
3. It can be learned from the passage that _____.
A. Jurassic Park movies involve only live actors
B. clay animation enjoys long-lasting popularity
C. computers make animated characters more lovely
D. Disney played a very important role in promoting animation
4. What can be inferred about the future of animation from the passage
A. Animation will forever remain an essential form of entertainment.
B. Animation will be replaced by new forms of films in the near future.
C. Animation will continuously gain new life due to computers and imagination.
D. Animation will get more popular in the future for the developing film technology.

Winning an Oscar isn't all about the acting ability
While the awards claim they recognize the top performances from around the world, a new study has found that you're more likely to win an Oscar if you're an American acting in a film that portrays the American culture. ①_____ British actors are more likely to take home an award.
Researchers say the trend suggests viewers are more likely to perceive a performance as "truly brilliant" if they are members of the same social group as the actor. It can be seen, perhaps most famously, in the case of Leonardo DiCaprio, who finally won a long-awaited Oscar in the 88th Academy Awards in 2016 for his role in The Revenant, which follows the story of an American frontiersman. ②_____ In 2014, Matthew McConaughey won an Oscar for his role in Dallas Buyers Club, and Jennifer Lawrence took an award home in 2013 for Silver Linings Play book. ③_____ The findings come from a new study published in the British Journal of Psychology. The team investigated a total of 908 merit prize winners: 97 winners and 383 nominees for the Oscars, and 97 winners and 331 nominees for the BAFTA. Overall, they found that US actors dominated the awards, claiming over 50 percent of the prizes across the Oscars and the BAFTA.
④_____ When the performer and judge shared membership within a particular social group—for example, being American—the actor was more likely to win. As a result, American actors were found to win 52 percent of all BAFTAs, and 69 percent of all Oscars while British actors won just 18 percent of all Oscars, and 34 percent of all BAFTAs.
⑤_____ In the Oscars, Americans who performed in films about non-US culture accounted for just 26 percent of the award winners. But, those who performed in films about American culture made up 88 percent of the winners.
A. In recent years, many actors have cast themselves as frontiersmen.
B. The subject matter played a role, too, according to the researchers.
C. And, the same applies to London's BAFTA.
D. But they also noted a trend within social groups.
E. But the trend also stretches back throughout the years.
F. Things are different in Britain.
G. Daniel Day-Lewis won an Oscar in 2008 for his role in There Will Be Blood.
答案以及解析
一、
1.答案:creatively
解析:句意:天才往往创造性地完成事情。此处修饰动词,故填副词。
2.答案:have adapted
解析:句意:就在过去数千年中,埃塞俄比亚高地上的人已经适应了高海拔地区的生活。句中有In just the past few thousand years(在过去数千年中)作时间状语,所以用现在完成时。
3.答案:has used
解析:句意:这位作家兼导演除大部分电影以纽约为背景之外,他在过去数年里也使用了包括伦敦、巴塞罗那和巴黎在内的其他城市。根据the writer and director词组中director前没有冠词及前面的his可知指同一人,意思是“作家兼导演”。故谓语动词用单数形式。
4.答案:wins
解析:句意:如果你的儿子每天都去那里努力训练,不论他的队是否赢,你都应该表扬他的努力。集体名词作主语,表示整体时,谓语动词用单数形式;表示组成集体的成员时,谓语动词用复数形式。从句意可知,这里“队”表示整体,故谓语动词用单数wins。
5.答案:solving
解析:考查非谓语动词。contribute to意为"有助于,促成",后接名词或动词-ing形式。故填solving。
二、
6.答案:Next time you visit Bob
7.答案:With the final exam approaching
8.答案:Whatever stage of life you're
9.答案:a large/huge amount of
10.答案:When I approached
三、
答案:1-4 DCDC
解析:1.主旨大意题。文章介绍了美国动画由一开始的默片发展到有声电影、粘土动画、计算机合成影像、计算机动画电影,再到后来的真人动画电影,通篇在讲述动画的发展,故选D项。
2.细节理解题。根据第六段最后一句Toy Story, released in 1995 and created by...was the first completely computer-generated animated feature film.可知,《玩具总动员》于1995年上映,是第一部完全由电脑制作的动画故事片。所以Toy Story标志着美国动画全面数字时代的开始。故选C项。
3.推理判断题。根据第三段首句The real…in 1928.和第四段Disney's extremely...a serious art form.及第六段最后两句Used in film...animated feature film.可判断,迪士尼在推广动画方面起到了非常重要的作用。故选D项。C项computers make animated characters more lovely(计算机使动画人物更可爱)有一定的迷惑性。原文第六段首句Computer-generated imagery, or CGI, brought animation to a new level of artistry and realism.(计算机生成影像将动画的艺术性和真实性提高到了一个新的水平。)这个表达不可以推断出“计算机使动画人物更可爱”。故C项不对。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句Thanks to the powerful capabilities of today's computers and the unlimited imagination of American filmmakers, animation will be entertaining audiences worldwide for a long time to come.可判断,因为计算机和想象力,动画将持续获得新活力。故选C项。
四、
答案:CEGDB
解析:①根据后一句British actors are more likely to take home an award.可知,英国演员更有可能把奖杯捧回家,提到了award,而C项中的London's BAFTA是英国的奖项,与此对应,C选项符合语境,故选C。
②根据前后文提到的三人获奖时间可知,空格处意思是“但是,这一趋势向前追溯若千年都是成立的”,故选E。
③根据前文In 2014, Matthew McConaughey won an Oscar for his role in Dallas Buyers Club, and Jennifer Lawrence took an award home in 2013 for Silver Linings Playbook.可知,这里在列举前些年的奥斯卡获奖演员,G选项举的是2008年获奖演员的例子,与前文一致,符合语境,故选G。
④根据后一句When the performer and judge shared membership within a particular social group—for example, being American—the actor was more likely to win.可知,当演员和评委是同一个社会群体的成员时,演员更有可能获奖,而选项中只有D项提到了social groups,符合语境,故选D。
⑤根据后一句In the Oscars, Americans who performed in films about non-US culture accounted for just 26 percent of the award winners.可知,在非美国文化电影中饰演的美国演员,只有26%的比例获得奥斯卡奖,故可推知,影片的题材也很重要,B选项符合语境,故选B。
