【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了导演史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格的个人经历以及成就。
1.C 推理判断题。 根据第一段中的“Sometimes his mum walked in, and saw him holding these slides up to both of his eyes, right next to the TV set. Often, she would say, ‘You’re going to burn your eyes out!’”以及第二段“Spielberg’s mum, like all the other 50s mums who said the same thing, was wrong about that. But we all know what she must have been thinking: Who is this child ”可推知,当斯皮尔伯格的妈妈看到儿子在电视机前的行为时,她感到担心和困惑,故选C。
2.B 细节理解题。 根据第三段中的“Movies have been around for roughly 130 years; Spielberg’s career has covered more than a third of that.”、最后一段中的“Yet his career is extraordinary in any context. He’s made some box-office disappointments, but naming a badly-made Spielberg’s film is hard, probably because there isn’t one.”以及“No living film-maker can match his devotion to craftsmanship to finding new ways of showing us things we think we’ve seen a million times before.”可知,B选项“他很小的时候就对电影表现出了极大的兴趣。”不是斯皮尔伯格的事业被认为非凡的原因。故选B。
3.B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“And when you see his new film, The Fabelmans, a work of astonishing vividness that is drawn from his own family’s story, you’ll know even more.”可推知,斯皮尔伯格的新电影《法贝尔曼一家》与他的部分成长经历有关。故选B。

【文章大意】 本文是一篇影评。文章主要介绍了《摘金奇缘》这部为西方观众制作的关于亚洲人的电影。
5.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“…the film is a rare US film with an all-Asian cast…”可知, Crazy Rich Asians这部电影全部由亚裔演员出演,故选C。
6.B 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It could be said that Crazy Rich Asians…in a Hollywood movie.”可知,就像Black Panther这部电影塑造了令人赞叹的非洲人物一样,Crazy Rich Asians这部电影同样展示了多元文化,所以作者提到这部电影主要是为了展示好莱坞在推广多元文化方面所做的努力。故选B。
7.A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“According to The Paper…the cultural traditions and lifestyle of the US.”和倒数第二段中的“…of course there will be a lot of fair criticism(批评)…represent the entire population…”可知,一些人批评这部电影是因为它未能展示真正的亚洲文化,故选A。
8.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“So, although Crazy Rich Asians…a long way to go.”可知,作者认为Crazy Rich Asians这部电影虽然没有完全打破西方对亚洲人的刻板印象,但是它确实朝着正确的方向迈出了一小步,由此可推知,作者对Crazy Rich Asians这部电影既有好的评价也有不好的评价,所以作者的态度是客观的,故选C。Period Three Developing ideas

A [2024·湖南省名校联考联合体高一期末]
When Steven Spielberg was a kid growing up in the 1950s in Arizona, watching westerns on his family’s 20-inch black-and-white TV, he would climb right up to the screen, as if to surround himself with the image. He also wished he could see these moving pictures in colour. So he searched through his family’s collection of slides quickly, having learned that by holding one film or another up to the television screen he could turn greyed-out western skies blue, or the ground to a realistic-looking green. Sometimes his mum walked in, and saw him holding these slides up to both of his eyes, right next to the TV set. Often, she would say, “You’re going to burn your eyes out!”
Spielberg’s mum, like all the other 50s mums who said the same thing, was wrong about that. But we all know what she must have been thinking: Who is this child
If you’ve seen even just one Steven Spielberg’s movie in the past 50 years or so—Jaws, Schindler’s List, E.T.—you have some sense of who this child grew up to be. And when you see his new film, The Fabelmans, a work of astonishing vividness that is drawn from his own family’s story, you’ll know even more. Movies have been around for roughly 130 years; Spielberg’s career has covered more than a third of that. Yet The Fabelmans hardly feels like a late-career movie. It’s a bridge for a new beginning.
Not every 75-year-old film-maker makes a movie like this. Of the ambitious young guys who remade Hollywood in the early 1970s, Spielberg is one of the few still making vital pictures at a consistent (一致的) clip. Yet his career is extraordinary in any context. He’s made some box-office disappointments, but naming a badly-made Spielberg’s film is hard, probably because there isn’t one. No living film-maker can match his devotion to craftsmanship to finding new ways of showing us things we think we’ve seen a million times before.
( )1.How did Spielberg’s mum feel when she saw her son’s behaviour in front of the TV set
A.Proud but upset.
B.Surprised but supportive.
C.Worried and confused.
D.Annoyed and desperate.
( )2.Which of the following is NOT a reason why Spielberg’s career is regarded as extraordinary
A.He is devoted to filming ordinary things from new angles.
B.He showed great interest in filming at a very young age.
C.His career covers more than a third of the movie history.
D.All his films are probably well-made despite some box-office disappointments.
( )3.What can be inferred about Spielberg’s new film The Fabelmans
A.It’s the most outstanding film he has ever made in his career.
B.It has been related to part of his growing experience.
C.It represents a totally brand-new type of film theme.
D.It established Spielberg as the most influential film-maker.
( )4.What is the purpose of the text
A.To introduce a giant in film-making.
B.To demonstrate how to dare to be different.
C.To indicate curiosity makes success.
D.To recommend a pioneering new film.
B
Reflection of real culture
Crazy Rich Asians, adapted from Singaporean-American author Kevin Kwan’s 2013 novel of the same name, has become a surprisingly successful Hollywood movie and a hot topic on social media.
Without doubt, the film is a rare US film with an all-Asian cast, full of Asian elements, such as characters playing mahjong or using red decorations at a wedding. It could be said that Crazy Rich Asians reflects a new trend in Hollywood for multiculturalism(多元文化主义). Just like fans who praised Black Panther(2018) for featuring African characters, those from Asia now have role models of their own in a Hollywood movie.
However, when we take a closer look at the film, we can see that it’s clearly produced for a Western audience. The film is about the funny story of Chinese-American professor Rachel Chu and her rich Singaporean boyfriend Nick Young and his family. According to The Paper, although the movie throws light on Asian culture, it is still a display of American values, instead of those of Asian people. It still can’t help showing the cultural traditions and lifestyle of the US. The romance story even finds its roots in Disney fairy tales. In the movie, the large houses and the fancy parties represent the lives seen in movies like The Great Gatsby (2013) and The Wolf of Wall Street (2013).
“There are a lot of people who don’t relate to that…of course there will be a lot of fair criticism (批评) about the fact that it doesn’t fully represent the entire population,” wrote Penelope Poulou of VOA News.
According to Psychology Today, the film is “not an accurate (准确的) description of most Asians nor is it meant to be”. So, although Crazy Rich Asians doesn’t completely break stereotypes (刻板印象) of Asian people, it’s still a small step in the right direction. And while it’s encouraging to see a movie about Asian people made for a Western audience, it’s obvious that there’s still a long way to go.
( )5.What can we learn about Crazy Rich Asians
A.It was on show in 2013.
B.It is adapted from a TV series.
C.It stars all-Asian actors.
D.It was shot in China.
( )6.Why did the author mention Black Panther
A.To describe the popularity of multiculturalism in the US.
B.To show Hollywood’s efforts in promoting multiculturalism.
C.To stress the differences between the two films.
D.To explain its influence on Crazy Rich Asians.
( )7.Why have some people criticized Crazy Rich Asians
A.It fails to describe real Asian culture.
B.It doesn’t change Americans’ stereotypes of Asians.
C.It has copied from The Great Gatsby.
D.It shows too many American elements.
( )8.Which word best describes the author’s attitude towards Crazy Rich Asians
A.Subjective. B.Disappointed.
C.Objective. D.Doubtful.(共72张PPT)

When Steven Spielberg was a kid growing up in the 1950s in
Arizona, watching westerns on his family's 20-inch black-and-white
TV, he would climb right up to the screen, as if to surround
himself with the image. He also wished he could see these moving
pictures in colour. So he searched through his family's collection of
slides quickly, having learned that by holding one film or another

up to the television screen he could turn greyed-out western skies
blue, or the ground to a realistic-looking green. Sometimes his
mum walked in, and saw him holding these slides up to both of
his eyes, right next to the TV set. Often, she would say, “You're
going to burn your eyes out!”
Spielberg's mum, like all the other 50s mums who said the
same thing, was wrong about that. But we all know what she must
have been thinking: Who is this child

If you've seen even just one Steven Spielberg's movie in the
past 50 years or so—Jaws, Schindler's List, E.T.—you have some
sense of who this child grew up to be. And when you see his new
film, The Fabelmans, a work of astonishing vividness that is drawn
from his own family's story, you'll know even more. Movies have
been around for roughly 130 years; Spielberg's career has covered
more than a third of that. Yet The Fabelmans hardly feels like a
late-career movie. It's a bridge for a new beginning.

Not every 75-year-old film-maker makes a movie like this. Of
the ambitious young guys who remade Hollywood in the early
1970s, Spielberg is one of the few still making vital pictures at a
consistent (一致的) clip. Yet his career is extraordinary in any
context. He's made some box-office disappointments, but naming a
badly-made Spielberg's film is hard, probably because there isn't
one. No living film-maker can match his devotion to craftsmanship
to finding new ways of showing us things we think we've seen a
million times before.

Reflection of real culture
Crazy Rich Asians, adapted from Singaporean-American author
Kevin Kwan's 2013 novel of the same name, has become a
surprisingly successful Hollywood movie and a hot topic on social
media.
Without doubt, the film is a rare US film with an all-Asian cast,
full of Asian elements, such as characters playing mahjong or using
red decorations at a wedding. It could be said that Crazy Rich
1

Asians reflects a new trend in Hollywood for multiculturalism
(多元文化主义). Just like fans who praised Black Panther(2018) for
featuring African characters, those from Asia now have role models
of their own in a Hollywood movie.
However, when we take a closer look at the film, we can see
that it's clearly produced for a Western audience. The film is about
the funny story of Chinese-American professor Rachel Chu and her
rich Singaporean boyfriend Nick Young and his family. According to
The Paper, although the movie throws light on Asian culture, it is
1
2
3

8
still a display of American values, instead of those of Asian people.
It still can't help showing the cultural traditions and lifestyle of the
US. The romance story even finds its roots in Disney fairy tales. In
the movie, the large houses and the fancy parties represent the
lives seen in movies like The Great Gatsby (2013) and The Wolf of
Wall Street (2013).
“There are a lot of people who don't relate to that…of course
there will be a lot of fair criticism (批评) about the fact that it
doesn't fully represent the entire population,” wrote Penelope
Poulou of VOA News.

According to Psychology Today, the film is “not an accurate
(准确的) description of most Asians nor is it meant to be”. So,
although Crazy Rich Asians doesn't completely break stereotypes
(刻板印象) of Asian people, it's still a small step in the right
direction. And while it's encouraging to see a movie about Asian
people made for a Western audience, it's obvious that there's still
