【解析】

【1】第一句話講述了電影開始的場(chǎng)景，故此句應(yīng)該是結(jié)束的場(chǎng)景。

【2】通過前面我們可以得知這里講述的是在學(xué)校里發(fā)生的事情，故選A。

【3】通過后面的內(nèi)容可知是導(dǎo)演。

【4】既然沒有事先準(zhǔn)備好的臺(tái)詞，所以演員要自己編寫對(duì)話，make up編造，符合句意。

【5】臺(tái)詞的編寫不是隨便的，導(dǎo)演要求在自己實(shí)際生活的基礎(chǔ)上編寫。故A合適。

【6】設(shè)空后先說(shuō)質(zhì)量不高，又說(shuō)獲了很多獎(jiǎng)，可知應(yīng)用although引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句，故選D。

【7】這篇文章講述的是《大象》這部電影，故選D。

【8】由緊接著的定語(yǔ)從句中的kill可知選B。

【9】根據(jù)后面的the old expression可以判斷選D。

【10】與受害者相對(duì)應(yīng)的就是謀殺者( killers)。

【11】根據(jù)后面的形容詞可以判斷是不一樣的。

【12】前面的有趣和友好都是指“好”的方面，那后面的應(yīng)該是“不好”的方面，選項(xiàng)中只有C符合。

【13】根據(jù)下文one of the boys可以判斷選B合適。

【14】根據(jù)上下文可知這里指的是一個(gè)男孩的母親，故用she合適。

【15】此處指的是能引發(fā)謀殺的心情，故應(yīng)該是氣憤。

【16】既然是與謀殺有關(guān)，當(dāng)然打的電子游戲也應(yīng)該是有關(guān)暴力的( violent)。

【17】blame. . . on. . . 表示“把……歸咎于……”。

【18】與后面的why相對(duì)應(yīng)。

【19】此處表達(dá)導(dǎo)演的想法：不想解釋(explain)什么。

【20】be up to sb. 表示“由某人決定”，此處既然導(dǎo)演不想解釋什么，那么就把決定權(quán)交給了觀看電影的觀眾，故選A。
