本文的语篇类型为论说文。论说文的一种常见结构为“提出问题—分析问题—解决问题”，即开头提出论点，主体部分展开论证，由浅入深，层层递进，最后作出总结。如本文开头提出文学作品改编的电影常不尽如人意，接着通过例证的方式分析了原因，最后做出总结，提出自己的看法：学会辩证地看问题，从电影本身，而不是对照原著来判断一部电影的好坏。
论说文的结构主要有并列式、对照式、递进式三种。
(1)并列式：中心论点→分论点①；分论点②；分论点③……→结论。(2)对照式：提出中心论点→肯定陈述；否定陈述→结论。(3)递进式：中心论点先分解成若干子论点，这些子论点之间的关系是由浅入深，由简单到复杂，层层递进，最后得出结论。如本文即为递进式，首段先提出一些伟大的文学作品改编成电影后却成了“败笔”，第二段通过列举事例的方式提出一系列的问题，引发读者进一步的思考，第三、四段由浅入深分析原因，最后一段得出结论。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．All too often, great words end up being turned into cinematic “turkeys”.
赏析：短语All too often意为“很多时候，通常”，常用于表示不好的事情发生的次数太多，用在此处流露出作者语气中的抱怨、不满。
2．Movies of course need impressive images, so why has Alice in Wonderland only resulted in movies best described as “interesting”？
赏析：impressive意为“给人印象深刻的，令人赞叹的”与后面的interesting形成对比，以两个词在语气强烈程度上的落差来传达观众对影片的失望情绪。
3．This is something that even the highly successful Harry Potter movies can't escape from, with fans of the books disappointed not to see some of their favourite characters in the movie versions.
赏析：highly意为“极其，非常”，用在此处强调successful的程度，与之后的disappointed形成强烈反差，为后文得出结论“电影与书籍不同，不能对照原著来判断电影好坏”埋下伏笔。
4．Perhaps, one day, readers of F．Scott Fitzgerald's most admired work will find themselves glued to their screens by episodes of The Great Gatsby.
赏析：glue作为动词，意为“(用胶水)粘合，粘牢，粘贴”，而短语be glued to sth.意为“全神贯注看着某物”，形象地描述了观众对影视剧着迷的情景。
①Arriving at the top of the hill, we were faced by___________________________.到达山顶时，呈现在我们面前的是一片令人惊叹的景色。
②The publication of Great Expectations, __________________________， strengthened Dickens' status as a leading novelist.
《远大前程》这部小说的出版受到了高度赞扬，它巩固了狄更斯作为顶尖小说家的地位。
③______________________， people of all ages walk along the pavement with eyes and hands ____________________________， quite unaware of what is going on around them.
很多时候，不同年龄的人走在人行道上，有的手上拿着手机，有的眼睛盯着手机，完全不知道周围发生了什么。
(二)赏句式之高
1．If so, why has one of the earliest and greatest works in Western storytelling, Homer's The Odyssey, never had an equally great movie based on it
赏析：此处if so为条件状语从句的省略形式，意为“如果是这样的话”，既简化了句式结构，又自然地顺承上文内容，增加了行文的连贯性。
2．One of the key reasons behind this is that while a book usually takes a few days to read, a movie typically lasts under two hours.
赏析：此处that引导表语从句，该表语从句中，含有while引导的并列句，while意为“而，然而”，表示对比。多重复合句的运用，清晰明了地解释了造成“好书坏电影”的一个关键原因：阅读一本书需要几天，而看电影只有不到两个小时的时长。
3．This is something that even the highly successful Harry Potter movies can't escape from, with fans of the books disappointed not to see some of their favourite characters in the movie versions.
赏析：with fans of the books disappointed ... versions为with复合结构，在句中作结果状语； not to see ... versions为不定式短语作原因状语，表示disappointed的原因。这两个句法结构以相对简洁的形式表达了丰富的内涵。
①(完成句子) (2023·新高考Ⅰ卷写作)I wonder if you could allow us to pair up freely and you could make adjustments ____________.
我想知道您是否能允许我们自由分组，必要时，您可以做出调整。
②(完成句子)Tom is outgoing and very confident __________________________________.
汤姆性格外向，非常自信，而凯蒂却羞涩文静。
③(句型转换)Because some forests have been damaged, some animals and plants are facing the danger of dying out.
→______________________________， some animals and plants are facing the danger of dying out.(with复合结构)
(三)赏描摹之韵(写作手法)
Movies also disappoint us when things don't look the way we imagined them in the books. Take, for example, the epic movie Troy, which is in part based on Homer's The Iliad and was met with mixed reviews from the audience.
赏析：此句运用了例证法，例证法指表明观点后用确凿、典型的事实来证明观点的论证方法，常用于论说文中，以增强说服力。此处第一句话表明观点：当电影呈现出的事物与我们读书时的想象有落差时，我们会备感失望。紧接着以 Take, for example, 引出电影《特洛伊》中对海伦这一角色引发的争议，有理有据地展开论证。
If we grow up eating certain foods in our family, then those foods tend to be linked with positive emotions. ________________________________________________________________ and its flavour becomes tied up with the feeling of being taken care of.
如果我们从小在家就吃某些特定的食物，这些食物就很容易与积极的情绪产生关联。比如，我们经常把鸡汤与快乐的童年联系在一起，它的味道与我们备受关爱的感觉联系起来。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
During our childhood, we had cultural shows at school where singing, dancing, dramas and speeches were performed by the school students.Among many such programs that took place in the school, one drama actually made me laugh a lot.
It was a drama called Cinderella that actually turned out to be very comical.The person who directed that drama seemed to mainly train the students to memorize the dialogues which were well performed by them.
But what did the performers wear？While Cinderella was a cute little girl, she did not wear anything beautiful at the ball.She wore house slippers (拖鞋), and one of her slippers couldn't come off her foot when she was running away after midnight from the ball.She tried many times to take it off and finally it dropped and she ran away from the stage.
That missing slipper was found by a prince, who was actually a girl, dressed up as a boy but not looking like a boy.She held it up.Feeling a deep sense of shame, she acted her part showing it to the audience.More mistakes in the drama were that Cinderella's stepsisters were poorly dressed too at the ball and neither her stepsisters nor their mom looked like bad guys.
In the end, a fairy tale drama turned out to be a funny play and everyone had hearty laughs.Since it could give so much fun to the audience, it was not altogether a failure.And the audience laughed loudly as the drama ended, giving performers encouragement.
Cultural programs like this are needed for school students.Students don't need any special skills and the programs don't have to be fully perfect.They need to be organized in schools so that students can take part, share laughs and free their minds.

People who write dramas, also called plays, are known as playwrights or dramatists.Some popular types of dramas include comedy, tragedy, farce (滑稽戏), opera and docudramas.Now, I'd like to tell you something about them.
Lighter in tone，comedies try to make the audience laugh and usually come to a happy edies put unusual characters in special situations, causing them to do and say funny edies can also be sarcastic (讽刺的) in nature, creating fun at serious topics.There are also several different types of comedies, including the romantic comedy, the comedy of manners and so on.
Tragedy is based on darker themes.Generally, tragedies show serious subjects like death, disaster, and human suffering in a way that makes the audience think.Hardly enjoying happy endings, characters in tragedies, like Shakespeare's Hamlet, are often troubled by their character flaws (缺点) that finally lead to their death.
A farce is a type of drama in which characters overact and present physical humor.Examples of farce include the play Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett and the hit Airplane！in 1980.
Opera is a type of drama which combines theater, literature, music, and dance to tell stories of tragedy or comedy.Since characters express their feelings through singing rather than dialogue, performers must be both skilled actors and singers.La bohème by Giacomo Puccini and Falstaff by Giuseppe Verdi are classic examples of opera.
A docudrama is another kind of drama.Docudramas talk about historic events or non fictional situations, which are more often presented on television than in movie theaters.Popular examples of docudramas include the movies Apollo 13 and 12 Years a Slave.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了喜剧、悲剧、滑稽戏、歌剧和纪实片的特点。

B．present physical humor
C．be good at acting and singing

8．Who would most probably love to watch docudramas

Writing a film analysis essay is an assignment that is less likely to terrorize those who fear the idea of writing an essay, because it allows them to write about something most people enjoy.
9 Then watch it again. Take notes during the first viewing and, if you are analyzing a movie that is available on DVD, be ready with your remote control to pause and rewind (倒带)．
Critically engage the movie so that you can effectively produce a strong essay. 10 Ideas for essays taking this route could include an analysis of how the film is photographed, how the movie relates a historical event in a dramatic way without compromising the facts or how a single sequence within the film relates to larger cinematic concepts, like overlapping (重叠) dialogue or the use of dramatic irony.
11 Include the name of another technician on the film if your analysis will be focusing on that aspect. Write your film analysis with the movie at hand if possible.
Provide a brief overview of the story, but avoid the temptation to pad your word count by writing what amounts to a synopsis(outline) of the story rather than analysis. 12
Familiarize yourself with technical languages related to the art of film making. Write about subjective camera work if the analysis is dealing with a part of the movie shot from the point of view of one of the characters. 13
A．Watch the movie carefully.
B．Write about the emotional tone of the film.
C．Introduce the film and its major participants.
D．Rely on your memory to write your film analysis.
E．Reveal plots if they relate directly to your analysis.
F．Focus on a single thematic concept related to the film.
G．Properly using film making terms will strengthen your essay.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章针对怎样写一篇电影分析给出了几条建议。
9．选A 根据下文“Then watch it again.”可知，上文应是与观看电影有关。故A项“仔细看这部电影”承接下文，符合语境。
10．选F 根据下文可知，本段是告诉读者写电影分析应该从哪些方面入手。故F项“把注意力集中在与电影相关的单一主题概念上”承接下文，符合语境。
11．选C 后文提到“包括参与电影制作的另一个技术人员的名字”。故C项“介绍影片及其主要参与者”承接下文，符合语境。
12．选E 根据上文可知，要写与电影相关的东西，而不要凑字数。故E项“如果情节与你的分析直接相关，就把它们展示出来”承接上文，符合语境。
13．选G 根据上文可知，本段建议合理使用电影制作相关术语。故G项“适当地使用电影制作术语会使你的文章更有说服力”承接上文，符合语境。UNIT 4 课时检测(四) “Developing ideas”的课文习读环节

People who write dramas, also called plays, are known as playwrights or dramatists.Some popular types of dramas include comedy, tragedy, farce (滑稽戏), opera and docudramas.Now, I'd like to tell you something about them.
Lighter in tone，comedies try to make the audience laugh and usually come to a happy edies put unusual characters in special situations, causing them to do and say funny edies can also be sarcastic (讽刺的) in nature, creating fun at serious topics.There are also several different types of comedies, including the romantic comedy, the comedy of manners and so on.
Tragedy is based on darker themes.Generally, tragedies show serious subjects like death, disaster, and human suffering in a way that makes the audience think.Hardly enjoying happy endings, characters in tragedies, like Shakespeare's Hamlet, are often troubled by their character flaws (缺点) that finally lead to their death.
A farce is a type of drama in which characters overact and present physical humor.Examples of farce include the play Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett and the hit Airplane！in 1980.
Opera is a type of drama which combines theater, literature, music, and dance to tell stories of tragedy or comedy.Since characters express their feelings through singing rather than dialogue, performers must be both skilled actors and singers.La bohème by Giacomo Puccini and Falstaff by Giuseppe Verdi are classic examples of opera.
A docudrama is another kind of drama.Docudramas talk about historic events or non fictional situations, which are more often presented on television than in movie theaters.Popular examples of docudramas include the movies Apollo 13 and 12 Years a Slave.
