Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Sean Connery is widely accepted to have been one of the greatest James Bond actors of all time.But long before his acting days, Connery was a working class boy growing up in Scotland.He quit school to earn money for his family at the age of 13.After a series of odd jobs, he began bodybuilding and became a model for men’s fashion catalogs.He competed in the 1953 Mr Universe contest, which in turn led to work in stage productions.
Connery first realised the excitement of performing when he landed his first role in a theatre production of South Pacific in the early 1950s.More stage and television work followed, including Requiem for a Heavyweight in 1957.In 1962 Connery played the role of James Bond, Agent 007 of the British Secret Intelligence Service, in Dr No.The success of the film made him an international star.
Not wanting to be the fixed type as the super spy (密探), Connery continued to take other acting roles, especially in Marnie (1964).After completing the next two Bond films, Thunderball (1965) and You Only Live Twice (1967), Connery gave up the role of Bond.But four years later, he was persuaded to return to the role for Diamonds Are Forever (1971), which he declared was his last movie as Bond.
He spent the 1970s playing mostly in period dramas and science-fiction films, including The Molly Maguires (1970), and Robin and Marian (1976).And years later he delighted Bond fans by returning to the role of 007 in Never Say Never Again (1983).
Two films in the mid-1980s reestablished him as a major star.He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1988.The 1990s brought such great films as The Hunt for Red October (1990) and The Rock (1996).Connery’s latest movie was released in 2003.

Most of Hayao Miyazaki’s films would be just unthinkable if it wasn’t for one musician:Mamoru Fujisawa, also known as Joe Hisaishi.
Fujisawa attended Kunitachi College of Music in 1969 to study music composition.He enjoyed his first success in the music industry in 1974 when he composed music for a small animation (动画片) called Hajime Ningen Gyatoruz.Later he continued to compose for various small projects, such as Robokko Beeton in 1976.
As his works were becoming more well-known, he came up with a stage name (艺名), Joe Hisaishi.In 1983, he was recommended by a record company to compose the music for the then up-and-coming Hayao Miyazaki’s animated film Nausica of the Valley of the Wind.This collaboration (合作) led to a great friendship between the two men, and since then Joe Hisaishi has composed for almost every big film Hayao Miyazaki has made to date.
In the scenes where Nausica meets the Ohmu, large insects that have overrun the world, the score (配乐) helps you understand — without words — that these beings are powerful, dangerous, and otherworldly (非现实世界的).That said, parts of Nausica of the Valley of the Wind’s score can bring us to the past.The 1980s, that is!Electronic music was big in Japan at the time, and Joe Hisaishi reflected this in the score properly.
The ending song Joe Hisaishi composed in the Japanese version of Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea became a real hit in Japan.Sung by eight-year-old Nozomi hashi, it was the 14th highest-selling single on the Oricon Yearly Charts by the end of 2008.The Japanese version of the song is more attractive than the English version.
Without Joe Hisaishi, films like Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle would have been totally different to view, and chances are that they would have been lesser works.Joe Hisaishi’s music undoubtedly makes an important contribution to the experience of a Miyazaki film.
5.What happened to Joe Hisaishi in 1974?( )
A.He decided to give himself a stage name.
B.He got his first chance to work with Hayao Miyazaki.
C.He started to go to university to study music composition.
D.He began to make a name for himself in the music industry.
6.What does the author think of Nausica of the Valley of the Wind’s score?( )
A.It is better than the film itself.
B.It is the best music of the 1980s.
C.It breathes life into the film.
D.It introduces a new music style to the public.
7.What do we know about the ending song of Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea?( )
A.It brings listeners to the past.
B.Its Japanese version was well received.
C.It reflects the popularity of electronic music.
D.Its English version was performed by an eight-year-old.
8.What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?( )
A.To recognize Joe Hisaishi’s role in Hayao Miyazaki’s films.
B.To introduce Joe Hisaishi’s music styles in Hayao Miyazaki’s films.
C.To show how Joe Hisaishi created music for Hayao Miyazaki’s films.
D.To explain why Joe Hisaishi had an interest in Hayao Miyazaki’s films.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2024·江苏南京高一期末)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.9.( )
Firstly, a horrible personal look can help to create frightening villains.10.( ) 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.
Secondly, effective villains also have to test heroes in the story.11.( ) 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. 12.( ) To become memorable and achieve a lasting place in filming history, a villain needs to have a purpose or motivation.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.13.( )
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.

Behind the scenes①
Hello, everyone! Let me start by asking you a question: what’s the first thing you notice about a film? The acting? The music? Maybe the amazing sets?[1]Whatever your answer is, there’s always a lot more to it than first meets the eye.[2]Actually②, the film you see on the screen is the product of a huge amount of③ hard work, most of which takes place behind the scenes④.[3]Today, I’ll give you a brief⑤introduction to some aspects of film-making⑥you might not be familiar⑦ with.
[1]Whatever引导让步状语从句。whatever相当于no matter what;there is more to sb/sth than meets the eye是一个习惯表达法,表示“某人或某物比表面看到的更加复杂或有趣”。
[2]本句中含有两个定语从句:you see on the screen是省略了关系词that或which的定语从句,修饰先行词the film; “most+of which”引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词hard work。
[3]you might not be familiar with是定语从句,修饰先行词some aspects of film-making,省略了关系代词that,也可以将介词with前置,用with which来引导。
To begin with⑧, I’d like to draw your attention⑨ to an important factor⑩ of a film—sound effects.[4]These are often added after a scene has been shot and might not be made in the way you would expect.For example, in Jurassic Park , the sounds of different animals, including a baby elephant and a tiger, were mixed by a computer to make a dinosaur roar .The sound of the doors opening in the Star Trek films was made simply by pulling a sheet of paper out of an envelope.
Another aspect I attach great importance to is visual special effects.CGI has been frequently used in film-making as a special effects technology.[5]Generally, scenes requiring CGI are filmed in front of a green screen in the studio .As green doesn’t match any natural hair or skin colour, actors can be easily separated from the background.This enables CGI effects to be added later.
[6]The Quidditch scenes in the Harry Potter films were made in this way with the actors jumping up and down in front of a green screen.However, the aid of computers isn’t always preferred .Peter Jackson, director of The Lord of the Rings films, took a creative approach —he used clever camera angles to make characters seem bigger or smaller than they really were.
[4]句中are often added和might not be made是并列谓语;you would expect是定语从句,修饰先行词the way, 省略了关系词that或which。
[5]句中requiring CGI是动词-ing短语作后置定语,相当于定语从句which require CGI。
[6]句中“with+宾语+宾语补足语”结构在句中作状语;the actors与jump之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用动词-ing形式。
Props also contribute to a film’s success.To make a film look real, great effort must sometimes be made to research, find and build objects.Director James Cameron spent six months looking at and revising plans of the Titanic in order to build a full-sized model for his 1997 film.[7]He talked to historians to ensure that the details were correct and even went down to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to see what was left of the ship for himself.[8]It took 500 workers 100 days to build the fine model, not to mention the thousands of props inside.
[7]what引导宾语从句。what was left of the ship在意思上相当于the remains of the ship (船的残骸)。
[8]It takes/took sb some time to do sth某人花费多少时间做某事。
My lecture today may not be able to do justice to all the work people have done behind the scenes.[9]Just as the poor passengers on the real Titanic saw the tip of the iceberg , what we see on the cinema screen is just the tip of the huge iceberg of film-making. [10]Hopefully, next time you go to the cinema,you’ll spare a thought for all those talented people behind the scenes. [11]They have worked for months and even years so that you can have two hours of enjoyment!
[9]句中Just as ...意为“正如……”,引导方式状语从句;what we see on the cinema screen是一个主语从句。
[10]名词短语next time 用于引导时间状语从句,意为“下次……”。
[11]句中so that 引导目的状语从句。

【参考译文】
幕后
大家好!让我来先问你们一个问题作为开场:对于一部电影你首先会注意什么? 表演?配乐?也许是令人惊叹的布景?无论你的答案是什么,它(电影)都远比你最初表面看到的更为复杂。事实上,你在银幕上看到的电影是大量艰苦工作的产物,其中大部分工作发生在幕后。今天,我将就电影制作中你们可能不太熟悉的一些方面做一个简单的介绍。
首先,我想请你们注意电影的一个重要元素——音效。音效通常是在一个场景拍摄完成之后添加的,而且可能是以你意想不到的方式制作的。例如,《侏罗纪公园》中恐龙的吼叫声,是用包括小象和老虎在内的不同动物的声音通过电脑合成的。在《星际迷航》系列电影里,开门的声音不过是通过从信封里抽取纸张来实现的。
另一个我认为很重要的方面就是视觉特效。CGI(计算机生成影像)作为一种特效技术在电影制作中已经很常用。一般来说,需要使用CGI的场景会在工作室的绿幕前拍摄。因为绿色与任何自然的人类发色或肤色都不同,演员可以轻易地与背景分离。这使得在后期添加CGI效果成为可能。“哈利·波特”系列电影中魁地奇比赛的场景就是通过演员在绿幕前上下跳跃这种方式制作的。不过,计算机辅助并不总是受到青睐。《指环王》系列电影的导演彼得·杰克逊采用了一种创造性的方法——他巧妙地利用摄像机的角度让剧中角色看上去比实际大或小。
道具也为一部电影的成功助力。为了让电影看起来逼真,有时必须付出巨大的努力去研究、寻找和构建物体。导演詹姆斯·卡梅隆花了半年时间研究和修正“泰坦尼克号”的图纸,目的是为他1997年的电影制作一个全尺寸模型。他和历史学家进行交流以确保细节无误,甚至亲自潜到大西洋海底查看“泰坦尼克号”的残骸。为了制作这个精致的模型,500名工人用了100天,更不用说内部还有成千上万的道具了。
我今天的讲座,可能无法对所有的幕后工作者给予公正的评价。正如真正的“泰坦尼克号”上那些可怜的乘客们所看到的冰山一角一样,我们在影院银幕上看到的也只是电影制作这座巨大冰山的一角而已。希望下次你们去看电影时,能想一想所有幕后那些才华出众的人们。他们工作了数月甚至是数年,如此你们才能有两个小时的愉悦时光!

Behind the scenes①
Hello, everyone! Let me start by asking you a question: what’s
the first thing you notice about a film? The acting? The music? Maybe
the amazing sets?[1]Whatever your answer is, there’s always a lot
more to it than first meets the eye.[2]Actually②, the film you see on the
screen is the product of a huge amount of③ hard work, most of which
takes place behind the scenes④.[3]Today, I’ll give you a brief⑤
introduction to some aspects of film-making⑥you might not be familiar⑦
with.
[1]Whatever引导让步状语从句。whatever相当于no matter
what;there is more to sb/sth than meets the eye是一个习惯表达法,表
示“某人或某物比表面看到的更加复杂或有趣”。
[2]本句中含有两个定语从句:you see on the screen是省略了关
系词that或which的定语从句,修饰先行词the film; “most+of
which”引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词hard work。
[3]you might not be familiar with是定语从句,修饰先行词some
aspects of film-making,省略了关系代词that,也可以将介词with前
置,用with which来引导。
①behind the scenes 在后台,在幕后
②actually adv.实际上,事实上
[近义]in fact/in reality/as a matter of fact
【读文清障】
③a huge amount of/huge amounts of 大量的
④scene n.场面,镜头;现场;景色
⑤brief adj.简洁的,简单的;短时间的
in brief 简言之
to be brief 简言之
briefly adv.简略地,短暂地
⑥some aspects of film-making 电影制作的一些方面
⑦familiar adj.熟悉的,常见的
be familiar with 对……熟悉
To begin with⑧, I’d like to draw your attention⑨ to an important
factor⑩ of a film—sound effects.[4]These are often added after a scene
has been shot and might not be made in the way you would expect.For
example, in Jurassic Park , the sounds of different animals,
including a baby elephant and a tiger, were mixed by a computer to make
a dinosaur roar .The sound of the doors opening in the Star Trek films
was made simply by pulling a sheet of paper out of an envelope.
Another aspect I attach great importance to is visual special
effects.CGI has been frequently used in film-making as a special
effects technology.[5]Generally, scenes requiring CGI are filmed in
front of a green screen in the studio .As green doesn’t match any
natural hair or skin colour, actors can be easily separated from the
background.This enables CGI effects to be added later.[6]The
Quidditch scenes in the Harry Potter films were made in this way with
the actors jumping up and down in front of a green screen.However, the
aid of computers isn’t always preferred .Peter Jackson, director of
The Lord of the Rings films, took a creative approach —he used
clever camera angles to make characters seem bigger or smaller than they
really were.
[4]句中are often added和might not be made是并列谓语;you
would expect是定语从句,修饰先行词the way, 省略了关系词that或
which。
[5]句中requiring CGI是动词-ing短语作后置定语,相当于定语从
句which require CGI。
[6]句中“with+宾语+宾语补足语”结构在句中作状语;the
actors与jump之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用动词-ing形式。
⑧to begin with 首先
[近义]to start with
⑨draw one’s attention 引起某人的注意
pay attention to 注意
⑩factor n.因素,要素
shoot vt.& vi.(shot, shot)
[熟义]开枪;射击;投篮
[生义]拍摄;摄影
Jurassic Park 《侏罗纪公园》
dinosaur n.恐龙
roar n.& vi.咆哮,吼叫
sheet n.一张(纸);床单,被单;薄片
a sheet of paper 一张纸
attach vt.认为有重要性,重视;把……固定,附上
attach great importance to 认为……十分重要
visual adj.视力的,视觉的
visual special effects 视觉特效
CGI 计算机生成影像
frequently adv.频繁地,经常
frequent adj.经常的,频繁的
studio n.电影摄影棚;录音室
in the studio 在工作室,在电影摄影棚
enable vt.使能够,使可行
enable ...to do ...使……能够做……
Quidditch 魁地奇(“哈利·波特”系列电影中一种球类比赛)
aid n., vt.& vi.帮助;援助
prefer vt.较喜欢,更喜欢
preference n.选择,趋向
The Lord of the Rings 《指环王》
take a creative approach 采取了一种创造性的方法
creative adj.创造性的,创作的;有创造力的
approach n.方法;接近,靠近 vt.接近,靠近;处理
the approach to doing ... 做……的方法
angle n.角度;立场,观点
[易混]angel n.天使;善人;大好人
Props also contribute to a film’s success.To make a film look
real, great effort must sometimes be made to research, find and build
objects.Director James Cameron spent six months looking at and revising
plans of the Titanic in order to build a full-sized model for his 1997
film.[7]He talked to historians to ensure that the details were correct
and even went down to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to see what was
left of the ship for himself.[8]It took 500 workers 100 days to build the
fine model, not to mention the thousands of props inside.
[7]what引导宾语从句。what was left of the ship在意思上相当于
the remains of the ship (船的残骸)。
[8]It takes/took sb some time to do sth某人花费多少时间做某事。
prop n.道具;支柱,支撑物
contribute to 促成;为……作贡献;报稿
revise vt.改变,修改;修订;复习
revision n.复习;修订;修改
ensure vt.保证,确保
ensure that ...=be sure that ...确保……
the Atlantic Ocean 大西洋
not to mention 更不用说,且不说
[同义]let alone、not to speak of、to say nothing of
My lecture today may not be able to do justice to all the work
people have done behind the scenes.[9]Just as the poor passengers on the
real Titanic saw the tip of the iceberg , what we see on the cinema
screen is just the tip of the huge iceberg of film-making. [10]Hopefully,
next time you go to the cinema,you’ll spare a thought for all those
talented people behind the scenes. [11]They have worked for months and
even years so that you can have two hours of enjoyment!
[9]句中Just as ...意为“正如……”,引导方式状语从句;what
we see on the cinema screen是一个主语从句。
[10]名词短语next time 用于引导时间状语从句,意为“下
次……”。
[11]句中so that 引导目的状语从句。
do justice to 恰当处理(某人或某事);公平对待(某人或某事),
给予公正的评价
justice n.公平,公正;公道,合理
iceberg n.冰山
the tip of the iceberg 冰山一角
【参考译文】
幕后
大家好!让我来先问你们一个问题作为开场:对于一部电影你
首先会注意什么? 表演?配乐?也许是令人惊叹的布景?无论你的
答案是什么,它(电影)都远比你最初表面看到的更为复杂。事实
上,你在银幕上看到的电影是大量艰苦工作的产物,其中大部分工
作发生在幕后。今天,我将就电影制作中你们可能不太熟悉的一些
方面做一个简单的介绍。
首先,我想请你们注意电影的一个重要元素——音效。音效通
常是在一个场景拍摄完成之后添加的,而且可能是以你意想不到的
方式制作的。例如,《侏罗纪公园》中恐龙的吼叫声,是用包括小
象和老虎在内的不同动物的声音通过电脑合成的。在《星际迷航》
系列电影里,开门的声音不过是通过从信封里抽取纸张来实现的。
另一个我认为很重要的方面就是视觉特效。CGI(计算机生成影
像)作为一种特效技术在电影制作中已经很常用。一般来说,需要
使用CGI的场景会在工作室的绿幕前拍摄。因为绿色与任何自然的人
类发色或肤色都不同,演员可以轻易地与背景分离。这使得在后期
添加CGI效果成为可能。“哈利·波特”系列电影中魁地奇比赛的场
景就是通过演员在绿幕前上下跳跃这种方式制作的。不过,计算机
辅助并不总是受到青睐。《指环王》系列电影的导演彼得·杰克逊采
用了一种创造性的方法——他巧妙地利用摄像机的角度让剧中角色
看上去比实际大或小。
道具也为一部电影的成功助力。为了让电影看起来逼真,有时
必须付出巨大的努力去研究、寻找和构建物体。导演詹姆斯·卡梅隆
花了半年时间研究和修正“泰坦尼克号”的图纸,目的是为他1997
年的电影制作一个全尺寸模型。他和历史学家进行交流以确保细节
无误,甚至亲自潜到大西洋海底查看“泰坦尼克号”的残骸。为了
制作这个精致的模型,500名工人用了100天,更不用说内部还有成
千上万的道具了。
我今天的讲座,可能无法对所有的幕后工作者给予公正的评
价。正如真正的“泰坦尼克号”上那些可怜的乘客们所看到的冰山
一角一样,我们在影院银幕上看到的也只是电影制作这座巨大冰山
的一角而已。希望下次你们去看电影时,能想一想所有幕后那些才
华出众的人们。他们工作了数月甚至是数年,如此你们才能有两个
小时的愉悦时光!

The music? Maybe the amazing sets?
(2)暗喻
暗喻是直接将A事物当作B事物描写,A事物和B事物之间的联系或相似之处是暗含的。暗喻的典型形式为:甲是乙,而不用like、 as等喻词。例如:You are my sunshine.(你是我的阳光。)Money sometimes is a poison.(金钱有时候是一种毒药。)
请从课文中找出一个使用暗喻的句子。
Just as the poor passengers on the real Titanic saw the tip of the
iceberg, what we see on the cinema screen is just the tip of the
huge iceberg of film-making.
仿写:笑是太阳,把冬天从人们的脸上驱走。
Laughter is the sun that drives winter away from the people’s
faces.

Sean Connery is widely accepted to have been one of the greatest
James Bond actors of all time.But long before his acting days, Connery
was a working class boy growing up in Scotland.He quit school to earn
money for his family at the age of 13.After a series of odd jobs, he began
bodybuilding and became a model for men’s fashion catalogs.He
competed in the 1953 Mr Universe contest, which in turn led to work in
stage productions.
Connery first realised the excitement of performing when he landed
his first role in a theatre production of South Pacific in the early
1950s.More stage and television work followed, including Requiem for a
Heavyweight in 1957.In 1962 Connery played the role of James Bond,
Agent 007 of the British Secret Intelligence Service, in Dr No.The
success of the film made him an international star.
Not wanting to be the fixed type as the super spy (密探),
Connery continued to take other acting roles, especially in Marnie
(1964).After completing the next two Bond films, Thunderball
(1965) and You Only Live Twice (1967), Connery gave up the role
of Bond.But four years later, he was persuaded to return to the role for
Diamonds Are Forever (1971), which he declared was his last movie
as Bond.
He spent the 1970s playing mostly in period dramas and science-
fiction films, including The Molly Maguires (1970), and Robin and
Marian (1976).And years later he delighted Bond fans by returning to
the role of 007 in Never Say Never Again (1983).
Two films in the mid-1980s reestablished him as a major star.He won
the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1988.The 1990s brought
such great films as The Hunt for Red October (1990) and The Rock
(1996).Connery’s latest movie was released in 2003.
Connery and his wife relocated to the Bahamas and became involved
in environmental protection efforts there.In 2020, he passed away in his
sleep while in the Bahamas.

Most of Hayao Miyazaki’s films would be just unthinkable if it
wasn’t for one musician:Mamoru Fujisawa, also known as Joe
Hisaishi.
Fujisawa attended Kunitachi College of Music in 1969 to study music
composition.He enjoyed his first success in the music industry in 1974
when he composed music for a small animation (动画片) called Hajime
Ningen Gyatoruz.Later he continued to compose for various small
projects, such as Robokko Beeton in 1976.
As his works were becoming more well-known, he came up with a
stage name (艺名), Joe Hisaishi.In 1983, he was recommended by a
record company to compose the music for the then up-and-coming Hayao
Miyazaki’s animated film Nausica of the Valley of the Wind.This
collaboration (合作) led to a great friendship between the two men,
and since then Joe Hisaishi has composed for almost every big film Hayao
Miyazaki has made to date.
In the scenes where Nausica meets the Ohmu, large insects that
have overrun the world, the score (配乐) helps you understand —
without words — that these beings are powerful, dangerous, and
otherworldly (非现实世界的).That said, parts of Nausica of the
Valley of the Wind’s score can bring us to the past.The 1980s, that is!
Electronic music was big in Japan at the time, and Joe Hisaishi reflected
this in the score properly.
The ending song Joe Hisaishi composed in the Japanese version of
Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea became a real hit in Japan.Sung by eight-
year-old Nozomi hashi, it was the 14th highest-selling single on the
Oricon Yearly Charts by the end of 2008.The Japanese version of the song
is more attractive than the English version.
Without Joe Hisaishi, films like Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving
Castle would have been totally different to view, and chances are that
they would have been lesser works.Joe Hisaishi’s music undoubtedly
makes an important contribution to the experience of a Miyazaki film.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。作者介绍了日本著名的作曲家久石
让,并对其在宫崎骏电影中所做的贡献给予充分肯定。
5. What happened to Joe Hisaishi in 1974?( )
A. He decided to give himself a stage name.
B. He got his first chance to work with Hayao Miyazaki.
C. He started to go to university to study music composition.
D. He began to make a name for himself in the music industry.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知,1974年,久石让
为小型动画片《山林小猎人》创作的音乐让他首次获得成功。由此
可知,这一年他开始在音乐界崭露头角。
6. What does the author think of Nausica of the Valley of the Wind’s
score?( )
A. It is better than the film itself.
B. It is the best music of the 1980s.
C. It breathes life into the film.
D. It introduces a new music style to the public.
解析: 观点态度题。作者在第四段中描述了久石让为电影《风
之谷》创作的配乐,认为这些配乐既有助于人们理解电影中的某些
场景,又反映了当时日本非常流行的电子乐。由此推断,在作者看
来,《风之谷》中的配乐让该影片更有魅力。
7. What do we know about the ending song of Ponyo on the Cliff by the
Sea?( )
A. It brings listeners to the past.
B. Its Japanese version was well received.
C. It reflects the popularity of electronic music.
D. Its English version was performed by an eight-year-old.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第五段首句可知,日语版《悬崖上的
金鱼姬》的片尾曲很受欢迎。
8. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?( )
A. To recognize Joe Hisaishi’s role in Hayao Miyazaki’s films.
B. To introduce Joe Hisaishi’s music styles in Hayao Miyazaki’s films.
C. To show how Joe Hisaishi created music for Hayao Miyazaki’s films.
D. To explain why Joe Hisaishi had an interest in Hayao Miyazaki’s
films.
解析: 写作意图题。文章首段开门见山,指出久石让的配乐使
宫崎骏的电影增色不少;随后作者介绍了久石让如何开始与宫崎骏
的合作,并着重描述自己对两部宫崎骏电影中久石让的配乐的看
法;末段与首段相呼应,作者再次强调久石让的配乐为宫崎骏的电
影所做的贡献。由此推断,作者写本文的目的在于肯定久石让在宫
崎骏电影中所发挥的作用。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2024·江苏南京高一期末)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.9.( )
Firstly, a horrible personal look can help to create frightening
villains.10.( ) 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.
Secondly, effective villains also have to test heroes in the story.11.
( ) 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. 12.( ) To become memorable and
achieve a lasting place in filming history, a villain needs to have a
purpose or motivation.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.13.( )
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.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。电影中的反派角色经常令人记忆深

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(什

10. F 根据第二段第一句可知,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。
11. A 第三段第一句指出“有效的反派角色也要考验故事中的英
雄”,A项中的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(他们不可能被轻易打
败)符合语境。
12. E 根据下一句可知,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。
13. G 根据上一句可知,此处介绍Annie的目的,G项(编剧给了她
一个把故事向前推进的理由)符合语境。G项中的her与上一句的she
相呼应。
谢谢观看!
