Movies are more than just entertainment①—they are a window into different worlds,a mirror reflecting our emotions,and a bridge connecting people.For me,movies have always been a special way to bond with my family.
I still remember the first time I took my younger sister to the cinema.She was only eight years old,and we watched an animated② movie about a brave little girl who saved her village.My sister laughed so hard at the funny scenes that she spilled her popcorn everywhere.Even now, years later,we still talk about that day and how much fun we had.
Another unforgettable experience was watching a classic③ black-and-white film with my grandfather. He told me stories about how he used to watch movies in an old theater with wooden seats when he was young.As we watched the film together,I could see the nostalgia (怀旧) in his eyes.It was a moment that brought us closer and helped me understand his past.
Movies are not just about the stories they tell;they are about the memories they create.They teach us lessons,make us laugh,and sometimes even make us cry.Whether it’s a family comedy,an action-packed blockbuster④,or a thought-provoking documentary⑤,movies have the power to bring people together and leave a lasting impact on our hearts.

Behind the scenes
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 Whatever your answer is,there’s always a lot more to it than first meets the eye.Actually,the film you see on the screen is the product of a huge amount of hard work①,most of which takes place behind the scenes.[1]Today,I’ll give you a brief introduction to② some aspects of film-making you might not be familiar with③.[2]
[1]句中most of which takes place behind the scenes是非限制性定语从句,修饰hard work。
[2]句中 you might not be familiar with为限制性定语从句,修饰some aspects of film-making。
To begin with④,I’d like to draw your attention to⑤ an important factor of a film—sound effects.These are often added after a scene has been shot and might not be made in the way you would expect.[3] 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.
[3]句中after a scene has been shot...为时间状语从句。you would expect是定语从句,修饰the way。
Another aspect I attach great importance to⑥ is visual special effects.CGI has been frequently used in film-making as a special effects technology.Generally,scenes requiring CGI are filmed in front of a green screen in the studio.[4]As green doesn’t match any natural hair or skin colour,actors can be easily separated from⑦ the background.This enables CGI effects to be added later.The Quidditch scenes in the Harry Potter films were made in this way with the actors jumping up and down⑧ 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 approach⑨—he used clever camera angles to make characters seem bigger or smaller than they really were.
[4]句中requiring CGI是现在分词短语作后置定语,可转化为定语从句which require CGI。
Props also contribute to a film’s success⑩.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.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.It took 500 workers 100 days to build the fine model,not to mention the thousands of props inside.
My lecture today may not be able to do justice to all the work people have done behind the scenes.[5]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.Hopefully, next time you go to the cinema,you’ll spare a thought for all those talented people behind the scenes.[6] They have worked for months and even years so that you can have two hours of enjoyment!
[5]句中people have done behind the scenes 为定语从句,其前省略关系代词that,修饰all the work。
[6]句中next time 充当连词,引导时间状语从句,意为“下次”。
[名师圈点]
①a huge amount of hard work 大量的辛苦工作
②give a brief introduction to...对……作一个简要的介绍
③be familiar with...对……熟悉
④to begin with 首先
⑤draw your attention to...把你的注意力吸引到……
⑥attach great importance to认为……十分重要
⑦be easily separated from 很容易从……中分开
⑧with the actors jumping up and down 演员们跳上跳下
⑨take a creative approach 采用一个创造性的方法
⑩contribute to a film’s success 促成电影的成功
great effort must be made to do sth必须付出巨大的努力做某事
not to mention 更不用说,且不说
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
the tip of the iceberg 冰山一角

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的场景会在摄影棚的绿幕前拍摄。因为绿色与任何自然的发色或肤色都不同,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,计算机的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船的残骸。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!

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共30分)
A
(2025·长沙市高一月考)
Artificial intelligence (AI) still can’t see the future,but a new algorithm (算法) may come close:using nothing but written movie summaries,the AI can consistently tell which films will play well—or awfully—to critics and audiences.If the model can be further improved,it could one day help producers predict whether a movie will be a failure at the box office,before it’s even made.
To test several AI models,researchers used plot summaries of 42,306 movies from all over the world,many collected from Wikipedia. The models broke the summaries by sentence and used something called sentiment (情感) analysis to analyze each one.Sentences considered “positive”,such as “Thor loves his hammer”,would receive a rating closer to positive one.And sentences that were considered “negative”,like “Thor gets in a fight” would be rated closer to negative one.
Generally,successful movies such as 1951’s Alice in Wonderland—which scored 80% on the movie-rating website Rotten Tomatoes—have frequent waves in sentiment;unsuccessful ones,such as 2009’s The Limits of Control,vary less.It’s not important whether the films begin or end happily,the researchers say.What’s important is that the sentiments change frequently.
The sentiment ratings in each summary were then simplified into a single score to reflect how often the sentiment changed.The researchers tested three different methods of arriving at a final score. All three could predict fairly accurately whether a movie would be unpopular,and one method worked especially well for guessing which thrillers and comedies reviewers would hate.
The methods were not as efficient at guessing which movies would succeed,but they still predicted the results more accurately than random chance.In the future,the researchers say their methods could be bettered to predict the amount a movie could earn at the box office and help producers decide which movies to invest in.The system’s fair judgment might give an advantage to less well-known writers,the researchers add.It could also potentially save the public from having to sit through films like Jaws:The Revenge,which online critics and audience alike rate as terrible.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种AI算法未来在电影制作预判断方面起到的作用。
1.How can AI help foresee the future of movies
A.By testing plot models.

Hollywood is getting more confident in the recovery of the US film market after Warner Bros’ monster mash Godzilla vs.Kong scored huge box office returns in early April.Meanwhile,Hollywood is also eyeing the Chinese market,with offerings including Universal’s action film Fast and Furious 9.However,they should realize that after the deadly pandemic,Chinese audiences have more interest in movies that tell a good Chinese story.
James Cameron’s documentary The Six and Marvel’s superhero film Black Widow are scheduled to be released on April 16 and July 9 respectively,and DC comics has produced a new superhero,Monkey Prince,based on the Chinese legendary Money King.Obviously, Hollywood is hoping to earn big in the world’s largest film market.
But looking back to the Hollywood blockbusters in 2020,their box office performance in China was a big disappointment.According to China’s ticketing platform Maoyan,Disney’s Mulan,DC’s Wonder Woman 1984 and Warner Bros’ Tenet earned 278 million yuan ($42 million),167 million yuan and 456 million yuan,respectively.
Meanwhile,homegrown Chinese films are getting more popular, which can be seen from the box office during China’s Lunar New Year holiday in 2021 and the Qingming Festival.Chinese feature film Sister,which deals with sister-brother relationships,quickly defeated Godzilla vs.Kong during China’s Qingming Festival holiday.
Many observers said that Chinese audiences want to watch films that tell a good Chinese story,and the tear-jerking comedy Hi,Mom is a perfect example.The film tells a warm story of a mother-daughter relationship and has grossed 5.397 million yuan as of Thursday, according to Maoyan.
Maybe it is because of the epidemic that Chinese people are turning their eyes more toward their own stories.If Hollywood still cannot really know and respect Chinese culture and just randomly mixes some Chinese elements into their films,it will lose a large amount of its fans in China.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。作者提出好莱坞如果想在中国电影市场有好的票房,应该了解和尊重中国文化,对他们的电影作出改变以迎合中国人对电影的口味这样一个观点,并以一些电影票房纪录来证明这一观点。
5.What does the underlined expression in the second paragraph refer to
A.The Maoyan film market.
B.The US film market.
C.The Hollywood film market.
D.The Chinese film market.
√
解析 词义猜测题。根据文章第一段“Meanwhile,Hollywood is also...tell a good Chinese story.”可知,好莱坞已经在关注中国市场,根据第二段“DC comics has produced a new superhero,Monkey Prince,based on the Chinese legendary Monkey King”可知,他们已经认识到并已经开始通过结合中国文化来制作电影人物以迎合中国电影市场,可推知这个画线部分所述的世界最大的电影市场指的是中国电影市场,故选D项。
6.What did Chinese audiences think of the Hollywood blockbusters released in 2020 in China
A.The films earned big money in the box office.
B.The films failed to meet the Chinese audiences’ expectation.
C.The films defeated these homegrown films in China.
D.The films were criticized for mixing Chinese elements into their films.
√
解析 细节理解题。根据原文第二段“But looking back...was a big disappointment.”可知,2020年的好莱坞大片在中国卖得并不好,可知这些电影没有达到中国观众的期望,故选B项。
7.Why is the film Hi,Mom seen as a good example of successful films nowadays
A.It is about a story that makes you laugh and cry at the same time.
B.It is about a warm story between a mother and a daughter.
C.It mixes many Chinese family elements into the film successfully.
D.It satisfies many people’s interest in a film to tell a good Chinese story.
√
解析 细节理解题。根据原文第五段“Many observers said...perfect example.”可知,电影《你好,李焕英》正是一个讲述中国人自己的故事的电影,迎合了中国人对电影的口味,因此成为当今成功电影的典范,故选D项。
8.How can Hollywood make a change to keep its fans in China
A.Try to base its story on Chinese legendary.
B.Mix many Chinese elements into their films.
C.Make the films to solve the mother-daughter relationships.
D.Know and show respect for Chinese culture.
解析 细节理解题。由原文最后一段“If Hollywood still...of its fans in China.”可知,好莱坞只有真正了解和尊重中国文化才不会失去大量中国粉丝,故选D项。

(2025·南京市高一期末)
I’ve never been one for Disney movies and other animated movies aimed at kids that are often in theaters now.So deciding to watch Spirited Away,I was feeling pretty unenthusiastic but its glowing reviews and Studio Ghibli’s reputation pushed me to still watch it.
Spirited Away is about a 10 year old girl named Chihiro.While on the way to her new home her parents decide to take a detour (绕行的路) and go down an old road.After passing through a tunnel they end up in what seems to be an abandoned town.In the town,her parents find an open food stall and eat the food,saying they can pay the shop owner once they get there.But they turn into pigs! Guided by Haku, who she meets while looking around,she sets off to try and save her parents and return to her own world.
Although it is a children’s film,I found the story to be surprisingly mature and enjoyable.Near the beginning of the story, Chihiro was a bit of a spoiled kid,but she progresses a lot as a character as she meets and interacts with the residents of the spirit world.The movie does a lot to create a sense of mystery and often uses soft worldbuilding.The animation is wonderful.It all flows very well and allows for breathtaking scenes that really bring the world to life alongside your imagination.The film has its fair share of twists and turns and was very enjoyable,while I feel that we could benefit greatly from multiple rewatches,which I’d gladly do,in order to get the full experience.
This is a movie I would definitely recommend to all ages.A small note,it does show blood in a few scenes,so if you’re a parent whether or not that’s okay for your child would be up to you.All in all,I feel that despite not being a part of the intended audience,this is an excellent movie that deserves a watch no matter what type of person you are.

Ⅱ.七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
How Star Wars Changed Movie-making Forever
“May the force be with you!” If you are a Star Wars fan,then you have probably heard this phrase many times. 1 So many characters,devices,and phrases from the movie have become well-known.But you might be surprised to find out how much this movie has changed how movies are made.
“A long time ago in a galaxy (银河系) far,far away...”is how Star Wars begins.Its plot was not creative.
2 The story was typical science fiction with lots of drama, traditional characters and good battling evil,in space and in hand-to-hand fight.
It was the special effects that made Star Wars much better than other movies.People still talk about the light swords (剑) that could cut,burn and melt through most substances.Spaceships sped through space and landed on huge,realistic-looking space stations. 3 When Star Wars first came out in 1977,most movie theaters were stand-alone (单独的) buildings,with just one movie screen.Using the money Star Wars had made for them,movie-theater owners built more theaters, leading to the multiplexes (多影厅影院) that are common today.
Theaters needed more movies to show on all the additional movie screens and in all the new multiplexes.So new movie companies sprang up,including small ones creating experimental movies. 4 Some of the methods became popular and others failed.But,thanks to Star Wars,people got to see new types of movies.
5 There had been movie continuations (续篇) before,but they were often just poor imitations of the first movie.The Star Wars movies were all popular.There have been two trilogies (三部曲) so far,with more planned.
A.They tried out new techniques.
B.In fact,it was quite old-fashioned.
C.Audience had never seen anything like these.
D.Thus,audience began to enjoy science fiction movies there.
E.Star Wars was the first really successful movie trilogy in history.
F.If you are not a fan,you are still likely familiar with these words.
G.If you are a movie maker,you may be inspired by this classic film.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《星球大战》对电影制作的影响。
1.F [根据上文“If you are a Star Wars fan,then you have probably heard this phrase many times.”以及下文“So many characters, devices,and phrases from the movie have become well-known.”可知,F项中的“If you are not a fan”与上文中的“If you are a Star Wars fan”形成对比,故F项“如果你不是一个粉丝,你仍然可能熟悉这些词。”符合文意,故选F项。]
2.B [根据上文“A long time ago in a galaxy far,far away”以及“Its plot was not creative.”可知,这个故事的情节很老旧,与B项“事实上,它是相当老式的。”表达的含义一致,故选B项。]
3.C [根据上文“People still talk...space stations.”可知,人们对这样的场面从来没见过,故C选项“观众从未见过这样的场面。”符合语境,故选C项。]
4.A [根据下文“Some of the...new types of movies.”可知,电影院尝试了新的技术,与A项“他们尝试了新技术。”表达的含义一致,故选A项。]
5.E [根据下文“There had been...were all popular.”可知,《星球大战》是历史上一部成功的电影,与E项“《星球大战》是历史上第一部真正成功的电影三部曲。”表达的含义一致,故选E项。]UNIT 1 Lights,camera,action!

Movies are more than just entertainment①—they are a window into different worlds,a mirror reflecting our emotions,and a bridge connecting people.For me,movies have always been a special way to bond with my family.
I still remember the first time I took my younger sister to the cinema.She was only eight years old,and we watched an animated② movie about a brave little girl who saved her village.My sister laughed so hard at the funny scenes that she spilled her popcorn everywhere.Even now,years later,we still talk about that day and how much fun we had.
Another unforgettable experience was watching a classic③ black-and-white film with my grandfather.He told me stories about how he used to watch movies in an old theater with wooden seats when he was young.As we watched the film together,I could see the nostalgia (怀旧) in his eyes.It was a moment that brought us closer and helped me understand his past.
Movies are not just about the stories they tell;they are about the memories they create.They teach us lessons,make us laugh,and sometimes even make us cry.Whether it’s a family comedy,an action-packed blockbuster④,or a thought-provoking documentary⑤,movies have the power to bring people together and leave a lasting impact on our hearts.

What’s the first thing you notice about a film Whatever your answer is,there’s always a lot more to it than first meets the eye.As 1.a matter of fact,film-making involves a huge amount of hard work behind the scenes,of which some aspects are not familiar to the audience.
One typical example is sound effects.Contrary to 2.what many people may expect,they are often added after a scene 3.has been shot/is shot(shoot).In fact,sound effects are often made by 4.mixing(mix) different sounds on computers.Another important aspect of film-making process 5.where computers are often used is visual special effects.And CGI is a technology 6.frequently(frequent) used in making such effects.However,not all 7.directors(direct) prefer the aid of computers in their works.Some of them employ creative approaches 8.to achieve(achieve) their goals.Of course,what contributes 9.to a successful film includes many other aspects.For instance,great effort is made to research,find and build props in order to make a film look real.
In short,it is the joint efforts of many 10.talented(talent) people that are behind the scenes of a great film and they deserve all the credit.
[原文呈现]
Behind the scenes
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 Whatever your answer is,there’s always a lot more to it than first meets the eye.Actually,the film you see on the screen is the product of a huge amount of hard work①,most of which takes place behind the scenes.[1]Today,I’ll give you a brief introduction to② some aspects of film-making you might not be familiar with③.[2]
[1]句中most of which takes place behind the scenes是非限制性定语从句,修饰hard work。
[2]句中 you might not be familiar with为限制性定语从句,修饰some aspects of film-making。
To begin with④,I’d like to draw your attention to⑤ an important factor of a film—sound effects.These are often added after a scene has been shot and might not be made in the way you would expect.[3] 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.
[3]句中after a scene has been shot...为时间状语从句。you would expect是定语从句,修饰the way。
Another aspect I attach great importance to⑥ is visual special effects.CGI has been frequently used in film-making as a special effects technology.Generally,scenes requiring CGI are filmed in front of a green screen in the studio.[4]As green doesn’t match any natural hair or skin colour,actors can be easily separated from⑦ the background.This enables CGI effects to be added later.The Quidditch scenes in the Harry Potter films were made in this way with the actors jumping up and down⑧ 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 approach⑨—he used clever camera angles to make characters seem bigger or smaller than they really were.
[4]句中requiring CGI是现在分词短语作后置定语,可转化为定语从句which require CGI。
Props also contribute to a film’s success⑩.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.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.It took 500 workers 100 days to build the fine model,not to mention the thousands of props inside.
My lecture today may not be able to do justice to all the work people have done behind the scenes.[5]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.Hopefully,next time you go to the cinema,you’ll spare a thought for all those talented people behind the scenes.[6] They have worked for months and even years so that you can have two hours of enjoyment!
[5]句中people have done behind the scenes 为定语从句,其前省略关系代词that,修饰all the work。
[6]句中next time 充当连词,引导时间状语从句,意为“下次”。
[名师圈点]

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的场景会在摄影棚的绿幕前拍摄。因为绿色与任何自然的发色或肤色都不同,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,计算机的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船的残骸。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!

A
(2025·长沙市高一月考)
Artificial intelligence (AI) still can’t see the future,but a new algorithm (算法) may come close:using nothing but written movie summaries,the AI can consistently tell which films will play well—or awfully—to critics and audiences.If the model can be further improved,it could one day help producers predict whether a movie will be a failure at the box office,before it’s even made.
To test several AI models,researchers used plot summaries of 42,306 movies from all over the world,many collected from Wikipedia.The models broke the summaries by sentence and used something called sentiment (情感) analysis to analyze each one.Sentences considered “positive”,such as “Thor loves his hammer”,would receive a rating closer to positive one.And sentences that were considered “negative”,like “Thor gets in a fight” would be rated closer to negative one.
Generally,successful movies such as 1951’s Alice in Wonderland—which scored 80% on the movie-rating website Rotten Tomatoes—have frequent waves in sentiment;unsuccessful ones,such as 2009’s The Limits of Control,vary less.It’s not important whether the films begin or end happily,the researchers say.What’s important is that the sentiments change frequently.
The sentiment ratings in each summary were then simplified into a single score to reflect how often the sentiment changed.The researchers tested three different methods of arriving at a final score.All three could predict fairly accurately whether a movie would be unpopular,and one method worked especially well for guessing which thrillers and comedies reviewers would hate.
The methods were not as efficient at guessing which movies would succeed,but they still predicted the results more accurately than random chance.In the future,the researchers say their methods could be bettered to predict the amount a movie could earn at the box office and help producers decide which movies to invest in.The system’s fair judgment might give an advantage to less well-known writers,the researchers add.It could also potentially save the public from having to sit through films like Jaws:The Revenge,which online critics and audience alike rate as terrible.

Hollywood is getting more confident in the recovery of the US film market after Warner Bros’ monster mash Godzilla vs.Kong scored huge box office returns in early April.Meanwhile,Hollywood is also eyeing the Chinese market,with offerings including Universal’s action film Fast and Furious 9.However,they should realize that after the deadly pandemic,Chinese audiences have more interest in movies that tell a good Chinese story.
James Cameron’s documentary The Six and Marvel’s superhero film Black Widow are scheduled to be released on April 16 and July 9 respectively,and DC comics has produced a new superhero,Monkey Prince,based on the Chinese legendary Money King.Obviously,Hollywood is hoping to earn big in the world’s largest film market.
But looking back to the Hollywood blockbusters in 2020,their box office performance in China was a big disappointment.According to China’s ticketing platform Maoyan,Disney’s Mulan,DC’s Wonder Woman 1984 and Warner Bros’ Tenet earned 278 million yuan ($42 million),167 million yuan and 456 million yuan,respectively.
Meanwhile,homegrown Chinese films are getting more popular,which can be seen from the box office during China’s Lunar New Year holiday in 2021 and the Qingming Festival.Chinese feature film Sister,which deals with sister-brother relationships,quickly defeated Godzilla vs.Kong during China’s Qingming Festival holiday.
Many observers said that Chinese audiences want to watch films that tell a good Chinese story,and the tear-jerking comedy Hi,Mom is a perfect example.The film tells a warm story of a mother-daughter relationship and has grossed 5.397 million yuan as of Thursday,according to Maoyan.
Maybe it is because of the epidemic that Chinese people are turning their eyes more toward their own stories.If Hollywood still cannot really know and respect Chinese culture and just randomly mixes some Chinese elements into their films,it will lose a large amount of its fans in China.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。作者提出好莱坞如果想在中国电影市场有好的票房,应该了解和尊重中国文化,对他们的电影作出改变以迎合中国人对电影的口味这样一个观点,并以一些电影票房纪录来证明这一观点。
5.What does the underlined expression in the second paragraph refer to
A.The Maoyan film market.
B.The US film market.
C.The Hollywood film market.
D.The Chinese film market.
答案 D [词义猜测题。根据文章第一段“Meanwhile,Hollywood is also...tell a good Chinese story.”可知,好莱坞已经在关注中国市场,根据第二段“DC comics has produced a new superhero,Monkey Prince,based on the Chinese legendary Monkey King”可知,他们已经认识到并已经开始通过结合中国文化来制作电影人物以迎合中国电影市场,可推知这个画线部分所述的世界最大的电影市场指的是中国电影市场,故选D项。]
6.What did Chinese audiences think of the Hollywood blockbusters released in 2020 in China
A.The films earned big money in the box office.
B.The films failed to meet the Chinese audiences’ expectation.
C.The films defeated these homegrown films in China.
D.The films were criticized for mixing Chinese elements into their films.
答案 B [细节理解题。根据原文第二段“But looking back...was a big disappointment.”可知,2020年的好莱坞大片在中国卖得并不好,可知这些电影没有达到中国观众的期望,故选B项。]
7.Why is the film Hi,Mom seen as a good example of successful films nowadays
A.It is about a story that makes you laugh and cry at the same time.
B.It is about a warm story between a mother and a daughter.
C.It mixes many Chinese family elements into the film successfully.
D.It satisfies many people’s interest in a film to tell a good Chinese story.
答案 D [细节理解题。根据原文第五段“Many observers said...perfect example.”可知,电影《你好,李焕英》正是一个讲述中国人自己的故事的电影,迎合了中国人对电影的口味,因此成为当今成功电影的典范,故选D项。]
8.How can Hollywood make a change to keep its fans in China
A.Try to base its story on Chinese legendary.
B.Mix many Chinese elements into their films.
C.Make the films to solve the mother-daughter relationships.
D.Know and show respect for Chinese culture.

(2025·南京市高一期末)
I’ve never been one for Disney movies and other animated movies aimed at kids that are often in theaters now.So deciding to watch Spirited Away,I was feeling pretty unenthusiastic but its glowing reviews and Studio Ghibli’s reputation pushed me to still watch it.
Spirited Away is about a 10 year old girl named Chihiro.While on the way to her new home her parents decide to take a detour (绕行的路) and go down an old road.After passing through a tunnel they end up in what seems to be an abandoned town.In the town,her parents find an open food stall and eat the food,saying they can pay the shop owner once they get there.But they turn into pigs! Guided by Haku,who she meets while looking around,she sets off to try and save her parents and return to her own world.
Although it is a children’s film,I found the story to be surprisingly mature and enjoyable.Near the beginning of the story,Chihiro was a bit of a spoiled kid,but she progresses a lot as a character as she meets and interacts with the residents of the spirit world.The movie does a lot to create a sense of mystery and often uses soft worldbuilding.The animation is wonderful.It all flows very well and allows for breathtaking scenes that really bring the world to life alongside your imagination.The film has its fair share of twists and turns and was very enjoyable,while I feel that we could benefit greatly from multiple rewatches,which I’d gladly do,in order to get the full experience.
This is a movie I would definitely recommend to all ages.A small note,it does show blood in a few scenes,so if you’re a parent whether or not that’s okay for your child would be up to you.All in all,I feel that despite not being a part of the intended audience,this is an excellent movie that deserves a watch no matter what type of person you are.

Ⅱ.七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
How Star Wars Changed Movie-making Forever
“May the force be with you!” If you are a Star Wars fan,then you have probably heard this phrase many times. 1 So many characters,devices,and phrases from the movie have become well-known.But you might be surprised to find out how much this movie has changed how movies are made.
“A long time ago in a galaxy (银河系) far,far away...”is how Star Wars begins.Its plot was not creative.
2 The story was typical science fiction with lots of drama,traditional characters and good battling evil,in space and in hand-to-hand fight.
It was the special effects that made Star Wars much better than other movies.People still talk about the light swords (剑) that could cut,burn and melt through most substances.Spaceships sped through space and landed on huge,realistic-looking space stations. 3 When Star Wars first came out in 1977,most movie theaters were stand-alone (单独的) buildings,with just one movie screen.Using the money Star Wars had made for them,movie-theater owners built more theaters,leading to the multiplexes (多影厅影院) that are common today.
Theaters needed more movies to show on all the additional movie screens and in all the new multiplexes.So new movie companies sprang up,including small ones creating experimental movies. 4 Some of the methods became popular and others failed.But,thanks to Star Wars,people got to see new types of movies.
5 There had been movie continuations (续篇) before,but they were often just poor imitations of the first movie.The Star Wars movies were all popular.There have been two trilogies (三部曲) so far,with more planned.
A.They tried out new techniques.
B.In fact,it was quite old-fashioned.
C.Audience had never seen anything like these.
D.Thus,audience began to enjoy science fiction movies there.
E.Star Wars was the first really successful movie trilogy in history.
F.If you are not a fan,you are still likely familiar with these words.
G.If you are a movie maker,you may be inspired by this classic film.
