本文是一部电影的剧本片段。电影剧本是一部电影作品最完整的书面形式。除了角色对话以外，还包括对剧中人物、布景、舞台指导以及各种音响效果的详细描述。电影剧本主要通过角色间的对话来展现剧情的走向和剧本的主题。阅读电影剧本的重心在于把握人物对白，通过语言风格推测人物的性格、身份、社会背景；通过对话描写，揣摩人物的情绪与内心世界；通过对白内容理清情节线索，把握行文脉络。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．I remember the bus ride on the first day of school very well.
赏析：本句使用了副词短语very well修饰动词remember，意为“非常清楚地记得”，描绘了福雷斯特对自己第一天坐校车上学时的情景记忆犹新。
2．The boy looks angrily at Forrest.
赏析：此处使用副词angrily 来修饰动词短语look at，生动地表达出这个男孩对福雷斯特不友好的态度。写作中可使用副词来修饰动词(短语)，使动作表达更生动、形象。
3．From that day on, we was always together.
赏析：短语from that day on描写了福雷斯特与珍妮从那天起成了好朋友，一直形影不离。from ... on意为“从……起”，在句中作时间状语。类似的短语还有： from now on “从现在起”； from then on “从那时起”等。
[提能训练]　(单句语法填空/完成句子)
①I ____________ (hurry) got up and dressed as soon as I heard the voice.
②We were ____________ (deep) impressed by the moving story.

④He never spoke to Lisa again ___________________________________________.
从那天起，他再也没有同莉莎说过话。
⑤______________________， I'll make full use of every minute to study.
从现在起，我将充分利用每一分钟来学习。
(二)赏句式之高
1．Well, now we aren't strangers anymore.
赏析：本句中的not ... anymore“不再”写出了福雷斯特的单纯。在福雷斯特的认知中，相互交换了姓名的两个人就不再是陌生人。
2．But, I do remember the first time I heard the sweetest voice in the wide world.
赏析：此处使用助动词do来强调谓语动词remember，形象地表达出福雷斯特对与珍妮的初次见面印象深刻。助动词do/does/did可用来强调谓语动词，译为“确实；的确；一定，务必”。
[提能训练]　(完成句子)

(三)赏修辞之功
①My momma said my back's crooked like a question mark.
②These are going to make me as straight as an arrow.

赏析：以上三句均使用了比喻的修辞手法。用比喻的手法来对某一事物的特征进行描绘和渲染可使事物生动形象、具体可感，以此引发读者的联想和想象，给人以鲜明深刻的印象，并使语言文采斐然，富有很强的感染力。常见的比喻词有like、as、seem、as if、as though等。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Because of the “Yunnan Elephant”， many people have developed a strong interest in elephants, and it has also aroused a heated discussion about how man and nature should share the earth and live in harmony. In this issue of “Weekend Cinema”， Yingda has brought four documentaries related to this.
The Secret Life of Elephants
The Secret Life of Elephants is a nature documentary series following the lives of elephants and the work of the conservation charity Save the Elephants in Samburu National Reserve, Kenya. It was first released in the United Kingdom on a broadcast platform in January 2009 to 4.2 million viewers. The team follow the dramatic and emotional stories of 500 plus individually known elephants.
Penguin Town
The series is filmed in Simon's Town, South Africa, where these adorable African penguins wander close by to people, strolling down the sidewalk, passing sunbathers on the beach. The series follows various penguin couples. With great humour, their love stories are told, and you follow the adventures of these penguin couples starting families and having chicks.
Seven Worlds, One Planet
Millions of years ago incredible forces tore apart the Earth's crust (地壳), creating seven extraordinary continents, each with its own distinct climate, its own distinct terrain (地形) and its own unique animal life. Seven Worlds, One Planet explores the natural wonders that give each of our continents its distinct character. Following the animals that have made these environments their home, it discovers amazing wildlife stories that uncover what makes each of these seven worlds unique.
Bears on Top of the World
This moving film reveals the differing fortunes of a mother polar bear, a mother bear and their newborn babies, in a rapidly changing world. This is a remarkable story of how bears, ever intelligent, are adapting to a warming world.
语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四部有关人与自然如何共享地球以及和谐共处的纪录片。
1．If you are interested in documentaries with funny languages, which film do you prefer？
A．The Secret Life of Elephants.
B．Penguin Town.
C．Seven Worlds, One Planet.
D．Bears on Top of the World.
解析：细节理解题。根据Penguin Town部分中的“With great humour, their love stories are told, and you follow the adventures of these penguin couples starting families and having chicks.”可知，这部纪录片用幽默的语言讲述了企鹅夫妇的故事。因此，如果你对有趣语言的纪录片感兴趣可以选择Penguin Town。
√
2．What do these four documentaries have in common？
A．They are all filmed in Africa.
B．They explore the natural wonders with distinct character.
C．They share the stories of wildlife.
D．They focus on animals adapting to the changing world.
解析：细节理解题。通读这四部纪录片的介绍可知，它们的共同之处是都讲述了野生动物的故事。
√
3．Which section on the website can you find this passage？
A．Sports and Health.
B．Entertainment and Culture.
C．Finance and Economics.
D．Technology and Science.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段“Because of the ‘Yunnan Elephant’ ...Yingda has brought four documentaries related to this.”并结合下文对四部纪录片的介绍可推知，这篇文章最有可能出自网站的“娱乐和文化”部分。

B
During our childhood, we had cultural shows at school where singing, dancing, dramas and speeches were performed by the school students.Among many such programs that took place in the school, one drama actually made me laugh a lot.
It was a drama called Cinderella that actually turned out to be very _______. The person who directed that drama seemed to mainly train the students to memorize the dialogues which were well performed by them.
comical
But what did the performers wear？While Cinderella was a cute little girl, she did not wear anything beautiful at the ball.She wore house slippers (拖鞋), and one of her slippers couldn't come off her foot when she was running away after midnight from the ball.She tried many times to take it off and finally it dropped and she ran away from the stage.
That missing slipper was found by a prince, who was actually a girl, dressed up as a boy but not looking like a boy.She held it up.Feeling a deep sense of shame, she acted her part showing it to the audience.More mistakes in the drama were that Cinderella's stepsisters were poorly dressed too at the ball and neither her stepsisters nor their mom looked like bad guys.
In the end, a fairy tale drama turned out to be a funny play and everyone had hearty laughs.Since it could give so much fun to the audience, it was not altogether a failure.And the audience laughed loudly as the drama ended, giving performers encouragement.
Cultural programs like this are needed for school students.Students don't need any special skills and the programs don't have to be fully perfect.They need to be organized in schools so that students can take part, share laughs and free their minds.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了学生时代令自己印象深刻的一个戏剧表演。
4．What does the underlined word “comical” in paragraph 2 mean？
A．Funny.　　　　　　　 B．Important.
C．Moving. D．Meaningful.
解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段最后一句中的“made me laugh a lot”及第三、四段介绍的表演情况可知，这部戏剧最后变得很滑稽，故可推测comical意为“滑稽可笑的”，与A项意义相近。
√
5．What does the author show most in paragraphs 3 and 4？
A．The meaning of the drama.
B．The imperfections of the drama.
C．The audience's opinions about the drama.
D．The students' preparations for the drama.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三、四段的内容可知，这两段都是在描述《灰姑娘》这场戏剧演出的种种不足，从演员不恰当的着装到演员不恰当的表演，尤其根据第四段最后一句中的“More mistakes in the drama were that”可以看出，作者在这两段中主要展示了这部戏剧的不足之处。
√
6．How did the audience feel about the drama？
A．They disliked it.
B．They felt sorry for it.
C．They were surprised by it.
D．They enjoyed it very much.
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的内容可知，虽然演员们的着装以及表演有一些不足，一场童话剧变成了一场搞笑的喜剧，但大家的表演令所有的观众捧腹大笑并报以热烈的掌声，这说明观众是非常喜欢这场演出的。
√
7．What does the author want to tell us through the text？
A．Cultural programs need improvement.
B．It's easy to carry out cultural programs.
C．Schools should organize cultural programs.
D．Students are very inactive in cultural programs.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，作者通过描述自己学生时代观看的一场戏剧演出，主要想表达的是：学校很有必要为学生组织类似的文化活动，因为这样的活动能让学生参与其中，分享快乐并解放思想。

C
A recent trend in the entertainment world is to adapt classic works of literature for either TV plays or the movies.One argument is that this is to everyone's benefit, as it introduces people to works they might otherwise never have experienced, while others say that turning books into movies not only cheapens the original, but is rarely done successfully.So what do you think？
In the past few years, we have seen several classic works of literature were adapted into movies.Many people believe that turning a novel into a film is a great idea, but some obviously think otherwise.According to _________, translating classic works into movies destroys its originality and credibility.In my opinion, literary works can get translated into the screens effectively.
the latter
The main challenge that filmmakers face while turning a classic work into a movie is its imaginary world.Generally, the perception (见解) of the book's imaginary world differs from person to person.And it's quite challenging to put all these different perceptions in one frame.But modern technology has made this challenge achievable.For example, the filmmakers used visual effects to successfully adapt Jurassic Park movies so visually attractive that their perception of Jurassic Park changed.Therefore, literary works can be translated into films through technical means.
Also, while making a film, the main focus of makers always remains on the main plotline and characters.But for movies based on literary works, this issue is not there as these movies carry the same basic plotline as it is present in the books.Therefore, directors do not have to spend much time and imagination on the plot of the movie, which makes the adaptation quite easy.
Based on the above arguments, I believe that it is quite possible to make a beautiful movie based on a classic work using modern technologies and a writer's imagination.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。作者就娱乐界将经典文学作品搬上荧屏这一趋势进行了论述。
8．What does the underlined part “the latter” in the second paragraph refer to？
A．People who can translate literary works into the screens.
B．People who often enjoy reading classic works of literature into screens.
C．People who think it's not a good idea to adapt classic works of literature into screens.
D．People who agree with adapting classic works of literature into screens.
√
解析：代词指代题。根据第二段中“Many people believe that turning a novel into a film is a great idea，but some obviously think otherwise.”可知，“the latter(后者)”指代“认为把经典文学作品改编成电影不是个好主意的人”。
9．What is the main difficulty when adapting classics into screens according to the author？
A．Adapting literary works into films effectively.
B．Presenting the imaginary of classic works on screens.
C．The different perception of the book's imaginary world.
D．The use of modern technology in adapting classic works.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，将经典作品中虚构的世界呈现在银幕上是主要的挑战。
√
10．Why does the author mention the adaptation of Jurassic Park？
A．To present an example to prove that classic works are out of date.
B．To confirm adapting classic works into screens is really important.
C．To describe the successful use of modern technology in making films.
D．To prove that adapting literary works into screens can be successful.
√
解析：推理判断题。第三段第一句提到将经典作品中虚构的世界呈现在银幕上是主要的挑战。根据第三段中“But modern technology has made this challenge achievable.”可知，现代技术使这一挑战成为可能。因此，作者以《侏罗纪公园》为例，说明能够通过技术手段有效地改编文学著作。
11．What is the author's attitude towards adapting classics？
A．Critical.　　　　　　 B．Objective.
C．Indifferent. D．Supportive.
解析：观点态度题。根据第二段最后一句以及最后一段内容可知，作者对有效地把文学著作搬到银幕上持支持态度。

Why Do Adults Love Animated Movies？
You go home from work. You are tired, and want to sit in front of the TV, watching something fun. Your children want the same. What is better than an animated film？
Both children and most adults love animation. Of course, there are animated movies that are directed specially to adults. ____ So, why do adults like cartoons so much？
12
They have well-written characters.
There are plenty of reasons. First and foremost, a lot of them are really good. ____ Screenwriters, designers, programmers and musicians are all working together to bring the best outcome to the big screen. And usually, they succeed.
Animated films have well-written characters facing complicated situations. Sometimes the scripts are even better than those in adult films. So, it comes as no surprise that animated films appeal to grown-ups as well.
13
____
Remember the time when you were a child and used to sit in front of the TV enjoying cartoons？ Animated films bring out that specific feeling of our childhood. Moreover, they reveal our inner child. By watching an animated movie, we forget the monotony (单调乏味) of everyday life and leave our problems behind.
14
We love heroes.
Almost every cartoon has something to do with the journey of a character. A journey towards adulthood, or towards finding oneself, or succeeding in a quest. ____ A hero that overcomes all obstacles trying to find true meaning and happiness in his or her existence？ Plenty of times, the characters in animated films are bigger-than-life and that's what we need in order to believe in humans again.
15
They are treats for adults.
Animated films are made for children, but sometimes film-makers decide to put something for adults as well: Shrek, for example, has scenes with a sense of humour that is addressed mainly to grown-ups. ____ And it's a really successful practice.
A．They bring out the child in us.
B．Anything can happen in childhood.
C．And who doesn't love a hero like that？
16
D．Talents work together in producing animated films.
E．We applaud those characters because they remind us of ourselves.
F．And there is also the chance that adults will love a kid's movie more.
G．It's a treat that aims to help parents enjoy their time in the animated films as well.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。孩子和大多数成年人都喜欢动画。文章主要就成年人喜欢动画片的原因进行了说明。
12．解析：选F　根据后文“那么，为什么成年人这么喜欢动画片呢？”可知，成年人也喜欢儿童电影。故F项“而且成年人也有可能会更喜欢儿童电影”符合语境。
13．解析：选D　根据后文“编剧、设计师、程序员和音乐家都在一起努力，将最好的结果呈现在大屏幕上”可知，本句想表达的是动画电影是各种人才一起制作的。故D项“人才共同制作动画电影”衔接下文，符合语境。
14．解析：选A　本句为本段小标题。根据本段内容可知，动画电影能激发成年人内心的童真。故A项“它们激发了我们内心的童真”能概括本段内容。
15．解析：选C　根据后文“一个克服了所有障碍，试图在他或她的生活中找到真正意义和幸福的英雄？”可知，空处也应是反问句，故C项“谁不喜欢这样的英雄呢？”符合语境。
16．解析：选G　根据本段小标题“They are treats for adults.”及空处上文“put something for adults as well”可知，G项的“It's a treat”与小标题呼应，且It指上文的加入成人元素这一行为，故G项符合

In the past few years, we have seen several classic works of literature were adapted into movies.Many people believe that turning a novel into a film is a great idea, but some obviously think otherwise.According to the_latter, translating classic works into movies destroys its originality and credibility.In my opinion, literary works can get translated into the screens effectively.
The main challenge that filmmakers face while turning a classic work into a movie is its imaginary world.Generally, the perception (见解) of the book's imaginary world differs from person to person.And it's quite challenging to put all these different perceptions in one frame.But modern technology has made this challenge achievable.For example, the filmmakers used visual effects to successfully adapt Jurassic Park movies so visually attractive that their perception of Jurassic Park changed.Therefore, literary works can be translated into films through technical means.
Also, while making a film, the main focus of makers always remains on the main plotline and characters.But for movies based on literary works, this issue is not there as these movies carry the same basic plotline as it is present in the books.Therefore, directors do not have to spend much time and imagination on the plot of the movie, which makes the adaptation quite easy.
Based on the above arguments, I believe that it is quite possible to make a beautiful movie based on a classic work using modern technologies and a writer's imagination.

Why Do Adults Love Animated Movies
You go home from work. You are tired, and want to sit in front of the TV, watching something fun. Your children want the same. What is better than an animated film
Both children and most adults love animation. Of course, there are animated movies that are directed specially to adults. __12__ So, why do adults like cartoons so much
They have well-written characters.
There are plenty of reasons. First and foremost, a lot of them are really good. __13__ Screenwriters, designers, programmers and musicians are all working together to bring the best outcome to the big screen. And usually, they succeed.
Animated films have well-written characters facing complicated situations. Sometimes the scripts are even better than those in adult films. So, it comes as no surprise that animated films appeal to grown-ups as well.
__14__
Remember the time when you were a child and used to sit in front of the TV enjoying cartoons Animated films bring out that specific feeling of our childhood. Moreover, they reveal our inner child. By watching an animated movie, we forget the monotony (单调乏味) of everyday life and leave our problems behind.
We love heroes.
Almost every cartoon has something to do with the journey of a character. A journey towards adulthood, or towards finding oneself, or succeeding in a quest. __15__ A hero that overcomes all obstacles trying to find true meaning and happiness in his or her existence Plenty of times, the characters in animated films are bigger-than-life and that's what we need in order to believe in humans again.
They are treats for adults.
Animated films are made for children, but sometimes film-makers decide to put something for adults as well: Shrek, for example, has scenes with a sense of humour that is addressed mainly to grown-ups. __16__ And it's a really successful practice.
A．They bring out the child in us.
B．Anything can happen in childhood.
C．And who doesn't love a hero like that
D．Talents work together in producing animated films.
E．We applaud those characters because they remind us of ourselves.
F．And there is also the chance that adults will love a kid's movie more.
G．It's a treat that aims to help parents enjoy their time in the animated films as well.
