Ⅶ. 【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了传统的中国戏曲与现代戏剧模式和戏剧概念相结合的《新龙门客栈》的特殊之处和影响。

There are many times I have been pessimistic② about or even disappointed by a film of a book I love. [2]Although highly regarded books do not always make good films, it is safe to say that great films may be made from not particularly good books.(The Godfather immediately springs to mind.)

All can work well, but why do many adaptation and indeed remakes fail both cinema audiences and critic And why do some adaptations get lower rating than others A key question is obviously [3]how close to the original the film is. [4]Since a typical film is only around two hours long, it becomes a question for screenwriters to decide what is appropriat for the screen and what to leave ou. Screenwriters take creative libert and sometimes there may be changes to the plot, additions, and even different endings to please producers, directors and test audiences. I, like many people, have often left the cinema feeling “the film is not like the book”.

Finding actors acceptable to film audiences can mean the difference between success and failure. Readers of the book use their imaginations to visualis characters and have very definit ideas about [5]how characters should look and sound. [6]This is where I think many film adaptations fall down. [5]画线部分为how引导的宾语从句,作about的宾语。 [6]画线句中where引导表语从句。 籍被翻拍成电影时,他们对电影有很高的期待是很正常的。有很多次,我喜欢的书籍被拍成电影,我都不看好,甚至很失望。尽管备受推崇的书并不总是能拍出好看的电影,可以肯定地说优秀的电影也可能来自不是那么好的书。(这让我马上想到了《教父》。) 一部电影的素材可以来自经典小说、短篇小说、漫画书、舞台剧,也可以取自传记和自传等非小说作品,甚至是那些代笔人写的作品。所有素材都可以拍出很棒的作品,但为什么许多改编和翻拍的电影没能受到电影观众与评论家的好评呢 而且为什么有些改编作品的评分比其他作品低呢 显而易见,一个关键的问题在于这部电影与原作的接近程度如何。因为一部电影通常只有两小时左右,对编剧来说,要决定什么适合银幕,以及把什么略掉就成了一个问题。对此编剧有一定的创作自由度,有时为了迎合制片人、导演以及测试观众,可能会改动情节、增加内容,甚至演绎不同结局。和很多人一样,我也经常在看完电影后感叹“这部电影和原作不一样”。 另一个问题领域是演员阵容。找到电影观众所接受的演员可能意味着电影的成败。书的读者会通过自己的想象,将书中的人物形象化,并对角色应有的外貌和声音有着非常明确的想法。我认为这是很多电影改编失败的地方。

technical adj.技术上的 generate vt.产生,创造 unfilmable adj.无法拍成电影的 version n.版本 category n.类别,种类,范畴 proof n.证明 Some books are just too difficult to be adapted for technica reasons, [7]although films like Life of Pi are changing this idea. CGI (Computer Generate Image) technology has had a huge impact on the film industry. It allowed the previously unfilmabl to become a reality. [7]画线部分为although引导的让步状语从句。 One may think [8]that it is the book writer who is in the best position to do film adaptations. In fact, sometimes authors are very involved in the process and may even be the screenwriter. This can actually be a disadvantage [9]because they may be too close to the material and find it difficult to adapt to a new form. At other times they are not, and there are instances [10]where writers have been very unsatisfied with the film version of their work; Stephen King is an example of this. Even more extreme was novelist J.D. Salinger, [11]who made sure no film versions of his popular novel A Catcher in the Rye could ever be made. In this situation, [12]it is clear that viewers will not be disappointed! For me, anyway, [13]it is always a bad idea to watch a film of a book you love.

For me, Jaws, Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings all fit this categor. And possibly the best proo of a successful adaptation is the James Bond series, [14]the majority of which has been adapted from the 007 novels of Ian Fleming. Perhaps unusually, audiences seem to accept [15]that the actors who have played James Bond have changed so often, although everyone seems to have their favourite. I know I do. [14]画线部分为 which引导的非限制性定语从句,补充说明前面的the James Bond series。 [15]画线部分为 that引导的宾语从句,作accept的宾语;although引导让步状语从句。 一些书由于技术原因很难改编成电影,虽然像《少年派的奇幻漂流》这样的电影正在改变这一观点。电脑生成动画技术对电影产业有重大影响。它让以前无法拍摄的内容成为现实。 有人可能会认为,最适合改编电影的人应该是书的作者。事实上,作者有时的确会参与改编过程,甚至可能担任电影编剧。这实际上可能是个缺点,因为他们可能过于了解素材,并且发现很难将其改编成一种新的形式。在其他时候,他们不是电影编剧,并且会有作者对自己作品的电影版本非常不满意的情况。斯蒂芬·金就是这样的一个例子。小说家J.D.塞林格更为极端,他永远确保自己广受欢迎的小说《麦田里的守望者》不会被拍成电影版本。在这种情况下,读者就永远不会失望!不管怎样,我认为去看自己钟爱的书籍翻拍成的电影不会是个好主意。 尽管挑战重重,还是有一些改编自畅销书的电影取得了极大的成功。对我来说,《大白鲨》《哈利·波特》和《指环王》都是成功的案例。而且最成功的一个改编的例子可能是詹姆斯·邦德系列,该系列的大部分作品都改编自伊恩·弗莱明的《007》系列小说。也许不同寻常的是,观众们似乎能接受詹姆斯·邦德的扮演者经常换人,尽管每个人看起来都有他们的最爱。我知道我也是。

what引导的名词性从句
句型公式
【相关拓展】
what 常用来引导名词性从句,即主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。what在引导名词性从句时有两个重要的特点:
(1)what在相应的名词性从句中有一定的意义,常表示“什么”、“所……的”、“……的样子”、“……的事/话”等;
(2)what在相应的名词性从句中常作主语、宾语或表语。
[温馨提示] that也可以引导名词性从句,但that引导名词性从句时仅起连接作用,无实际意义,在从句中不作任何句子成分。

How to protect against undue
influence online
The potential for undue influence has become increasingly significant in this era of digital interconnectivity. Undue influence can affect our perceptions and influence our decisions. It may even end our autonomy (自主) and mental health. 1.
Understand what undue influence is.
The first step to protecting yourself is understanding what undue influence is. Undue influence refers to a situation in which an individual or group employs unreasonable control over another person’s behaviour information, thoughts, and emotions. 2. Disinformation campaigns, persuasive advertising, and even content designed to cause fear, uncertainty, or dependency may often appear online.
Develop media literacy skills.
In an age of fake news, it is crucial to develop media literacy skills. 3. Become a consumer who can tell the quality of information, identify the source, check for credibility, and look for your unconscious assumptions and preferences.
4.
Delete as much data as you can about yourself. Be mindful of what information you share online, and always ensure that your online activities are secured through reliable sources. Review all policies on platforms, especially “free” ones. If you aren’t paying, then you are the product, as in many cases, they are selling your data.
By including these steps into your digital life, you can protect yourself from undue influence in the online world, ensuring that you can think and act independently, free from ill control.
5. It is your mind. Only you should control it!
A. Prioritize privacy.
B. Be mindful of free ones.
C. It’s vital to have a healthy Internet and real-life balance.

句型公式
what引导的名词性从句
【相关拓展】
what 常用来引导名词性从句,即主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。
what在引导名词性从句时有两个重要的特点:
(1)what在相应的名词性从句中有一定的意义,常表示“什么”、“所……的”、
“……的样子”、“……的事/话”等；
(2)what在相应的名词性从句中常作主语、宾语或表语。
［温馨提示］that也可以引导名词性从句,但that引导名词性从句时仅起连接作
用,无实际意义,在从句中不作任何句子成分。
