Question

【題目】 American actor James Dean has been dead for 64 years. James Dean, who died at the age of 25 in September 1955, starred in just three movies before he died in a car accident. They are Rebel Without a Cause, East of Eden and Giant. Yet, he will star in a new movie about the Vietnam War thanks to digital technology ,which generates(產(chǎn)生) images of James Dean by computer.

The idea that one of the movies' most beloved former stars would be recreated digitally for a new film has been met with criticism(批評). Captain America actor Chris Evans called the plans to use Dean's image in the film disrespectful.

However, Mark Roesler, the chairman of CMG said, “Dean has more than 183,000 followers on Instagram, and that he is still important today. He was known as Hollywood's ‘rebel(叛逆)' who famously said 'if a man can bridge the gap(溝壑) between life and death, if he can live after he's dead, then maybe he is a great man.” Roesler added, “What was considered rebellious in the 50's is very different from what is rebellious today, and we feel confident that he would support this modern day act of rebellion.”

Anton Ernst, the film's director, said, “1 respect Dean's life and history. The movie is one of hope and love. There are still a lot of James Dean's fans worldwide and there would always be critics. All we can do is to tell a great story.” Ernst added, “The Dean family views this as his fourth movie, a movie he never got to make. We do not want to let his fans down.”

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。美國影星James Dean 1955年9月30日因車禍去世，年僅24歲。一生只主演過三部影片——《伊甸園之東》《無因的反叛》和《巨人傳》。僅僅憑借3部影片，他在社交網(wǎng)站Ins上就有183,000名追隨者。64年后利用數(shù)字技術(shù)通過計算機生成James Dean的圖像，他將出演一部由Anton Ernst導(dǎo)演的全新的越戰(zhàn)題材劇情片。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第二段中的Captain America actor Chris Evans called the plans to use Dean's image in the film disrespectful. 《美國隊長》的演員Chris Evans稱在影片中使用Dean的形象是對死者的不敬�？芍�，Chris Evans出演的是Captain America，選項B切題，故選B。

【2】推理判斷題。第三段中的What was considered rebellious in the 50's is very different from what is rebellious today, and we feel confident that he would support this modern day act of rebellion. 在50年代被認(rèn)為的叛逆與今天的叛逆大相徑庭，我們相信他會支持這種現(xiàn)代的叛逆行為。可知，Roesler認(rèn)為在今天數(shù)字技術(shù)復(fù)原已經(jīng)死去的人是一種叛逆，因其叛逆浪漫的形象而著稱的James Dean會支持這一叛逆行為的，選項D：Roesler相信James Dean會支持?jǐn)?shù)字技術(shù)，切題，故選D。

【3】主旨大意題。第一段中的Yet, he will star in a new movie about the Vietnam War thanks to digital technology. which generates(產(chǎn)生) images of James Dean by computer.然而，利用數(shù)字技術(shù)通過計算機生成James Dean的圖像，他將主演一部關(guān)于越南戰(zhàn)爭的新電影。接著文章介紹了對這一計劃的兩種不同的看法，所以這就是文章的中心大意，其內(nèi)容適合用作文章標(biāo)題，選項A James Dean將出演新電影。切題，故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。文章的最后一句The Dean family views this as his fourth movie, a movie he never got to make. Dean的家人認(rèn)為這是他的第四部電影，一部他從未拍過的電影�？芍�，Dean的家人是希望Dean能夠拍這部電影的，因為他英年早逝，無緣活到現(xiàn)在，所以家人對這部電影充滿了期待，他們是感到欣慰。選項C欣慰，切題，故選C。

本題中的第4小題選項A和C在選擇時容易產(chǎn)生困難。因為這是一道推理判斷題，做題時要對涉及到這題的內(nèi)容進(jìn)行分析揣摩，文章說：Dean的家人認(rèn)為這是他的第四部電影，一部他從未拍過的電影。Dean的家人的態(tài)度只是期待這部電影，因為Dean那么早去世，無法真身來參加這一電影，所以他們的感情是欣慰。而支持是要給予精神或物質(zhì)的幫助，從文章內(nèi)容看不出Dean的家人在電影籌備、拍攝等各方面有任何的對電影的幫助，所以他們的態(tài)度不是支持。
