12.阅读理解
When "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" was first shown to the public last month, a group of excited animal activists gathered on Hollywood Boulevard. But they weren't there to throw red paint on fur-coat-wearing film stars. Instead, one activist, dressed in a full-body monkey suit, had arrived with a sign praising the filmmakers: "Thanks for not using real apes (猿)!"
The creative team behind "Apes" used motion-capture (动作捕捉) technology to create digitalized animals, spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that I records an actor's performance and later processes it with computer graphics to create a final image (图像). In this case, one of a realistic-looking ape.
Yet "Apes" is more exception than the rule. In fact, Hollywood has been hot on live animals lately. One nonprofit organization, which monitors the treatment or animals in filmed entertainment, is keeping tabs on more than 2,000 productions this year. Already, a number of films, including "Water for Elephants," "The Hangover Part Ⅱ" and "Zookeeper," have drawn the anger of activists who say the creatures acting in them haven't been treated properly.
In some cases, it's not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists worried; it's the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns. And there are questions about the films made outside the States, which sometimes are not monitored as closely as productions filmed in the Sates.
(1)Why did the animal activists gather on Hollywood Boulevard?
A.To see famous film stars.B.To oppose wearing fur coats.C.To raise money for animal protection.D.To express thanks to some filmmakers.
(2)What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.The cost of making "Apes."B.The creation of digitalized apes.C.The publicity about "Apes."D.The performance of real apes.
(3)What does the underlined phrase "keeping tabs on" in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Listing completely.B.Directing professionally.C.Promoting successfully.D.Watching carefully.
(4)What can we infer from the last paragraph about animal actors?
A.They may be badly treated.B.They should take further training.C.They could be traded illegallyD.They would lose popularity.
【答案】 (1)D(2)B(3)D(4)A
【考点】推理判断题,词义猜测题,细节理解题,段落大意题,新闻报道类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道,报道了电影“猩球崛起”上个月首次与公众见面。动物爱好者聚集在好莱坞前,感谢电影制作者,在电影拍摄时,没有使用真的类人猿。现在的动物拍摄使用的是数字化人猿的创造技术,而一些电影的拍摄却存在着虐地动物的现象,这让一个非盈利的组织密切关注此事。但有些拍摄也是不能够被监测到的。 (1)考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Instead, one activist ,dressed in a full -body monkey suit ,had arrived with a sign praising the filmmakers:‘Thanks for not using real apes!’”相反,一名身穿全套猴服的活动人士来到现场,手里拿着一块牌子,称赞电影制作人:“感谢你们不用真正的猿猴!”所以动物保护者聚集在好莱坞大道是为了向电影制作者表示感谢。故选D。 (2)考查段落大意。根据第二段中的“The creative team behind‘Apes’ used motion-capture (动作捕捉) technology to create digitalized animals, spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that I records an actor’s performance and later processes it with computer graphics to create a final image (图像). ”“人猿”背后的创作团队利用动作捕捉技术创造数字化的动物,在记录演员表演的技术上,花费数千万美元,然后用电脑图形处理,以产生最终的影像。可知,第二段主要是关于数字化人猿的创造。故选B。 (3)考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的“One nonprofit organization, which monitors the treatment or animals in filmed entertainment”一个非营利组织,监控动物在电影娱乐中的待遇;以及“Already, a number of films, including ‘Water for Elephants,’‘The Hangover Part Ⅱ’ and ‘Zookeeper,’ have drawn the anger of activists who say the creatures acting in them haven’t been treated properly.”许多电影,包括“大象的眼泪”,“宿醉Ⅱ”和“管理员”,引起了动物保护人士的愤怒,他们说影片中的动物没有遭到很好的对待。可知,其中一家监控动物待遇的非营利组织,今年正密切关注着2000多部影片。可推断,划线词的意思是“密切关注”。故选D。 (4)考查推理判断。根据最后一段“In some cases, it’s not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists worried; it’s the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns. And there are questions about the films made outside the States, which sometimes are not monitored as closely as productions filmed in the Sates.”在某些情况下,让活动人士担心的并不是电影棚里对动物的待遇;让人担忧的是训练和生活条件。还有一些关于在美国以外拍摄的电影的问题,这些电影有时不像在美国拍摄的电影那样受到严密的监控。可知,在某些情况下,让活动人士担心的并不是工作室里动物的待遇;令人担忧的是训练和生活条件。由此判断出动物演员可能受到虐待。故选A。 【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,词义猜测,推理判断和段落大意四个题型的考查,是一篇新闻报道,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。

With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation(孤独), more families are choosing to live together.
The doorway to peace and quiet, for Nick Bright at least, leads straight to his mother-in-law, she lives on the ground floor, while he lives upstairs with his wife and their two daughters.
Four years ago they all moved into a three-storey Victorian house in Bristol — one of a growing number of multigenerational families in the UK living together under the same roof. They share a front door and a washing machine, but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room on the ground floor.
"We floated the idea to my mum of sharing at a house," says Kathryn Whitehead. Rita cuts in: "We spoke more with Nick because I think it's a big thing for Nick to live with his mother-in-law."
And what does Nick think? "From my standpoint, it all seems to work very well. Would I recommend it? Yes, I think I would."
It's hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him, but research indicates that the numbers have been rising for some time. Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325,000 in 2002 to 419,000 in 2013.
Other varieties of multigenerational family are more common. Some people live with their elderly parents; many more adult children are returning to the family home, if they ever left. It is said that about 20% of 25-34-year-olds live with their parents, compared with 16% in 1991.The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million.
Stories like that are more common in parts of the world where multigenerational living is more firmly rooted. In India, particularly outside cities, young women are expected to move in with their husband's family when they get married.
(1)Who mainly uses the ground floor in the Victorian house in Bristol?
A.Nick.B.Rita.C.KathrynD.The daughters.
(2)What is Nick's attitude towards sharing the house with his mother-in -law?
A.Positive.B.Carefree.C.Tolerant.D.Unwilling.
(3)What is the author's statement about multigenerational family based on?
A.Family traditions.B.Financial reports.C.Published statistics.D.Public opinions.
(4)What is the text mainly about?
A.Lifestyles in different countries.B.Conflicts between generations.C.A housing problem in Britain.D.A rising trend of living in the UK.
【答案】 (1)B(2)A(3)C(4)D
【考点】主旨大意题,推理判断题,细节理解题,社会现象类,说明文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,在英国,由于年轻人负担不起离家的费用,而老年人又面临着被孤立的风险,越来越多的家庭选择住在一起,出现了多世同堂的现象。 (1)考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“..., but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room on the ground floor.”但Rita在一楼有自己的厨房、浴室、卧室和客厅。可知,Rita 在布里斯托尔的维多利亚式住宅中使用一楼。故选B。 (2)考查推理判断。根据第五段“And what does Nick think? ‘From my standpoint, it all seems to work very well. Would I recommend it? Yes, I think I would.’”Nick是怎么想的?“从我的角度来看,一切都很顺利。我推荐它吗?是的,我想我会推荐在一起居住的。”可推知Nick对和和岳母合住房子的态度是积极的。故选A。 (3)考查细节理解。根据第六段中的“ Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325,000 in 2002 to 419,000 in 2013.”官方报告显示,三代同堂的家庭数量从2002年的32.5万户增加到2013年的41.9万户;第七段中的“It is said that about 20% of 25-34-year-olds live with their parents, compared with 16% in 1991.The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million.”据说,25-34岁的年轻人中有20%和父母住在一起,而1991年这一比例为16%。据估计,英国多代同堂的家庭总数约为180万。可知,作者关于多世同堂家庭的论述基于发布的统计数据。故选C。 (4)考查主旨大意。根据第一段“With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation(孤独), more families are choosing to live together.”由于年轻人负担不起离家的费用,而老年人又面临着被孤立的风险,越来越多的家庭选择住在一起。所以短文主要是关于英国生活方式的一种上升趋势。故选D。 【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查,是一篇社会现象类阅读,考生需要准确掌握细节信息,并根据上下文进行逻辑推理,概括归纳,从而选出正确答案。
