　　3D cinema has been around since the early 20th century, but Hollywood brought the technology back in 2007. Many thought it was just a trick to make more money. But then came Avatar, the first mustsee movie in 3D.

　　But since Avatar, 3D cinema has struggled. In_2010,_several_3D_movies_bombed_at_the_box_office. And by late 2010, some people said the technology was dead. Of course, that wasn't the first time Hollywood had struggled with new technology. Although sound was added to movies in the late 1920s, it took audiences time to get used to the new technology. But in the end, sound and colour became the standard. James Cameron, director of Avatar, thinks we're going through the same process with 3D.

　　Some say cinemas are charging too much for 3D movies. In the US, seeing a 3D movie can cost up to $7.5 more than seeing it in 2D.Also, a recent study at California State University finds audiences don't actually enjoy movies in 3D any more than in 2D.Walter Murch, a famous movie editor, wrote in 2011 that human beings have no ability to process 3D images. Watching a 3D movie confuses our brain and this is why some people get headaches.

　　But James Cameron disagrees. In fact, he recently predicted that in five years all movies will be in 3D.And there are signs that 3D is fighting back. More 3D movies were put on the market in 2024 than ever before. The Lion King 3D recently made over US $150 million at the box office, and Cameron's Titanic 3D made even more.

　　Who knows what the future holds for 3D? Steven Spielberg recently said, “I'm hoping 3D gets to a point where people notice it. Because then it just becomes another tool and helps tell a story.”

　　1．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means that in 2010, 3D movies________．

　　A．were not successful

　　B．became popular

　　C．developed quickly

　　D．were of poor quality

　　2．The example of sound and colour is used mainly to show that________．

　　A．Hollywood tends to absorb what is new

　　B．3D technology takes time to be accepted

　　C．Hollywood struggles with new technology

　　D．high technology helps to make better movies

　　3．In Walter Murch's opinion, 3D movies________．

　　A．bring moviemakers great profits

　　B．a(chǎn)re more expensive than 2D movies

　　C．do great harm to people's health

　　D．a(chǎn)re unsuitable for people to watch

　　4．What can we learn from the text?

　　A．Avatar was the first 3D movie.

　　B．3D cinema has existed for years.

　　C．Titanic 3D has made the most money.

　　D．2024 witnessed the coming of 3D's time.

　　【要點(diǎn)綜述】自從《阿凡達(dá)》采用3D影像技術(shù)獲得巨大成功之后，全世界范圍內(nèi)掀起了一股波濤洶涌的3D熱潮。本文就3D時(shí)代是否到來展開了討論。

　　1．A　推理判斷題。由本段中關(guān)鍵詞struggled、dead和bombed可判斷該句意為“票房失利”。故選A項(xiàng)。

　　2．B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的“…that wasn't the first time Hollywood had struggled with new technology.”可知，作者用有聲電影和彩色電影如何發(fā)展成為行業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的例子來說明3D電影技術(shù)目前遭遇的尷尬境遇，指出其要被大眾接受還需要時(shí)間。故選B項(xiàng)。

　　3．D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“…that human beings have no ability to process 3D images. Watching a 3D movie confuses our brain and this is why some people get headaches.”可以判斷出，在Walter Murch看來，3D影像畫面不適合人們觀看。故選D項(xiàng)。

　　4．B　推理判斷題。3D技術(shù)自從20世紀(jì)初出現(xiàn)以來，一直處于尷尬的境地。多年來，人們一直討論3D電影技術(shù)的發(fā)展前景。文章首句是解題關(guān)鍵。故選B項(xiàng)。

　　【2024高考訓(xùn)練題】閱讀理解—主旨大意題、標(biāo)題概括題。

　　Shami is a spy working for MI5, the British domestic security service. Recently he was interviewed by the BBC for the now TV documentary series. Modern Spies.

　　Shami isn't his real name and in the interview his face was in shadow, so you couldn't identify him, but he spoke about his job and what motivates him.

　　The interviewer asked Shami if he has any hesitation about spying on other people. “No, not at all,” replied Shami. “I know why I'm doing it . I'm trying to prebent something major occurring which could lead to loss of life . That's my biggest motivation.”

　　Asked how he felt when he was doing a spying activity, Shami replied,” Excited. You feel a lot of pressure, but you understand the task in hand and how serious it is. You are thinking about potential dangers which might be a threat to yourself.” Shami admitted that his biggest fear was missing a vital piece of information, something that would go on to cause loss of life.

　　Shami said that there were some other intelligence officers working at MI5's London headquarters. Spies like him are out on the ground while the others' job is to analyze intelligence from a variety of different sources. He pointed out that vital pieces come from human sources of agents from within suspected terrorist organizations—a standard plotline in Hollywood movies, but he thought 007 was pure fantasy.” The key element of the James Bond myth is that we are some kind of illegal organization—that's not the case. And I certainly wouldn't be the kind of lone wolf in the films.”

　　Motivates Shami to carry out his job.

　　To spy on people

　　To prevent loss of life

　　To analyze important information

　　To get excitement from danger

　　It can be learned from the passage that

　　Shami once missed some important information

　　Shami is rarely stressed out when dong a task

　　The film 007 was a reflection of Shami's real life

　　MI5 is a legal organization

　　The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means

　　Shami never felt lonely because he could see films

　　Shami was not the leading actor in the film

　　Shami worked on a team rather than single-handedly

　　Shami needed the help of a wolf for his job

　　What can be the best title for the text?

　　A Real-Life Spy

　　B. Modern Spies

　　C. Spy Movies

　　D. Comparison on Spies

　　語(yǔ)篇解讀

　　本文是篇記敘文。主要講述的是現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中的一個(gè)間諜的故事。

　　B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“I know why I'm doing it I'm trying to prevent something major occurring which could lead to loss of life. That's my biggest motivation.”可知B項(xiàng)正確。

　　D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段倒數(shù)第二句可知，D項(xiàng)符合文意

　　C 句意理解題。 根據(jù)最后一段可知，不同的間諜分工不同：有的負(fù)責(zé)在總部分析情報(bào)，有的則在外執(zhí)行任務(wù)。任務(wù)的完成是大家共同合作的結(jié)果，而不是像電影里詹姆斯·邦德一樣單槍匹馬完成任務(wù)。

　　A 標(biāo)題概括題。通讀全文可知，本文主要講述的是現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中的一個(gè)間諜，而非大多數(shù)人印象中的電影里的間諜。故選A項(xiàng)最適合本文的標(biāo)題。

　　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A.B.C和D項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

　　Without most people realizing it, there has been a revolution in office work over the last ten years. Before that time, large computers were only used by large, rich companies that could afford the investment. With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them.

　　The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors (處理器) , or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast.

　　There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager. The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a manager’s point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.

　　But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units (顯示器). The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them.

　　Whatever the arguments for and against word processor are, they are a key feature (特征) of this revolution in office practice.

　　1. Ten years ago, smaller companies did not use large computers because_________.

　　A. these companies had not enough money to buy such expensive computers

　　B. these computers could not do the work that small computers can do today

　　C. these computers did not come onto the market

　　D. these companies did not need to use this new technology

　　2. According to the writer, the main feature of the revolution in office work over the last ten years is __________.

　　A. the saving of time and money

　　B. the use of computers in small companies

　　C. the wide use of word processors

　　D. the decreasing number of secretaries

　　3. It is implied but not directly stated in the passage that with the use of word processors _________.

　　A. some secretaries will lose their jobs

　　B. daily jobs can be done automatically outside office hours

　　C. medical problems related to work with a VDU have increased greatly

　　D. the British companies will make less money

　　4. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

　　A. There are both advantages and disadvantages in using a word processor.

　　B. The British companies care much for the health of the people using word processors.

　　C. The technology in the field of computers has been greatly advanced over the last ten years.

　　D. Using word processors, secretaries can get more time to do more interesting work for their bosses.

　　5. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.

　　A. safety screens are of poor quality

　　B. working at a VDU for a long time is good for one’s health
