英语试题 02-28


The Curse of the Were-Rabbit(2005) is the first full-length feature film made by directors Nick Park and Steve Box with their amazing plasticine(粘土) characters Wallace and Gromit. It won an Oscar in 2006, and if you watch it, you’ll understand why. It’s an absolutely brilliant cartoon comedy.

Cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his brainy dog Gromit have started a company to protect the town’s vegetables from hungry rabbits. However, just before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition, an enormous rabbit begins terrorising the town. It is attacking all the vegetables and destroying everything in its path. The competition organizer, Lady Tottington, hires Wallace and Gromit to catch the monster alive. But they will have to find the were-rabbit before gun-crazy hunter Victor Quartermaine who is desperate to kill it.

The screenplay is witty and full of amusing visual jokes. As usual, the voice of Peter Sallis is absolutely perfect for the role of Wallace, and Gromit is so beautifully brought to life, he can express a huge range of emotions without saying a word. And both Helena Bonham-Carter, who plays the part of Lady Tottington, and Ralph Fiennes as Victor are really funny.

To sum up, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an amazing film which is suitable for both children and adults. If you liked Wallace and Gromit’s previous adventures and you appreciate the British sense of humour, you’ll love this film. Don’t miss it!

【119题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一部分的表述,介绍了这部电影的人物角色,导演,获得荣誉以及其他相关的信息,而这些信息就是背景,所以答案是选D。 The introductions to the leading roles (介绍主角),The writer’s opinion of acting (作者对表演的看法),The writer’s comments on the story (作者对故事的评论),以上3个选项的内容都是片面的,不能够作为主旨大意。故选D。
【120题详解】
词义猜测题。选项文章中都有提到,既然说是指代,那么不妨把4个选项都带了进去理解,那么不难发现答案就是C。同时也要关注一些连词的表达,比如however 和but。根据最后一句话的描述,可以排除hunter选项;dog是进行寻找的动物,不是被找的动物;根据monster 后的alive活抓可以排除vegetable选项。故选C。
【121题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第三部分的第一句话“the screenplay is witty and full of amusing visual jokes剧本是聪明而充满魅力的视觉的笑话”以及D部分的最后一句话“you appreciate the British sense of humour, you'll love this film .Don't miss it! 你喜欢英国的幽默感,你会喜欢这部电影的。不要错过它!” 这两点都反映出了一个东西,就是幽默和智慧,故选A。
