Question

Most people think that making a film is exciting. In fact, sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t. Earlier this year, I worked in a new film. It was about a bomb threat on a big British ship. Two hundred people were needed to act as the passengers in the film. I was one of them.

Before we left, we were wanted to bring some warm clothes. These were necessary because the ship was going to spend the whole 16 days sailing in bad weather.

Then the day came and we sailed out of Dover. The boat had on board the film crew, the director, the actors and actresses including Brinksley Meers, who acted the leading role, and us-200 amateur(業(yè)余的) extras.

People came for different purposes. Some wanted to meet Brinksley Meers in person. Others were curious to see how a film was made. A housewife with her three children came for free holiday and a bit of adventure.

During the voyage, a lot of people were very seasick. And although the work was very interesting, it was also very hard. We often worked all day on one scene, performing it again and again under the hot lights. In the evenings, there were drinks in the bar, but most people were so tired that they went to bed early. The next day often began at 6:30 in the morning, sometimes with breakfast being filmed.

When the ship finally returned to port, most people had enjoyed the trip, but were also so tired that they at least needed a week’s holiday.

【解析】

試題分析：大多數(shù)人認(rèn)為拍電影是一件有趣的事情，但實(shí)際情況并非總是這樣。拍電影也可能是一件非常累人的工作。題目主要考查學(xué)生對(duì)文章大意的把握和從文中獲取有效信息的能力。

1.Two hundred people were needed to act as the passengers in the film. I was one of them.”可知，作者扮演的是一位乘客，故填He acted as a passenger.

2.These were necessary because the ship was going to spend the whole 16 days sailing in bad weather.”可知，在接下來(lái)的16天中，船將在天氣惡劣的條件下航行，因此，船員需要帶厚衣服，故填Because the ship was going to spend the whole 16 days sailing in bad weather.

3.but were also so tired that they at least needed a week’s holiday”可知，在電影拍攝的過(guò)程中，每個(gè)演員都非常疲勞，他們需要好好休息，故填They were very tired.

4.Most people think that making a film is exciting. In fact, sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t.”和倒數(shù)第二段“And although the work was very interesting, it was also very hard.”可知，大多數(shù)人以為拍電影會(huì)很有趣，但情況并非總是這樣，有時(shí)候可能會(huì)很累。由此可知，作者的寫作意圖是為了告訴讀者，拍電影不一定是一件有趣的事情，故填He wants to tell us making a film is not only exciting but also tiring.
