(2020全国Ⅲ,B)
When “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” was first shown to the public last month, a group of excited animal activists gathered on Hollywood Boulevard. But they weren’t there to throw red paint on fur-coat-wearing film stars. Instead, one activist, dressed in a full-body monkey suit, had arrived with a sign praising the filmmakers:“Thanks for not using real apes(猿)!”
The creative team behind “Apes” used motion-capture(动作捕捉) technology to create digitalized animals, spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that records an actor’s performance and later processes it with computer graphics to create a final image(图像). In this case, one of a realistic-looking ape.
Yet “Apes” is more exception than the rule. In fact, Hollywood has been hot on live animals lately. One nonprofit organization, which monitors the treatment of animals in filmed entertainment, is keeping tabs on more than 2,000 productions this year. Already, a number of films, including “Water for Elephants,” “The Hangover Part Ⅱ” and “Zookeeper,” have drawn the anger of activists who say the creatures acting in them haven’t been treated properly.
In some cases, it’s not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists worried; it’s the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns. And there are questions about the films made outside the States, which sometimes are not monitored as closely as productions filmed in the States.
4.Why did the animal activists gather on Hollywood Boulevard
A.To see famous film stars.
B.To oppose wearing fur coats.
C.To raise money for animal protection.
D.To express thanks to some filmmakers.
5.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A.The cost of making “Apes.” B.The creation of digitalized apes.
C.The publicity about “Apes.” D.The performance of real apes.
6.What does the underlined phrase “keeping tabs on” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Listing completely. B.Directing professionally.
C.Promoting successfully. D.Watching carefully.
7.What can we infer from the last paragraph about animal actors
A.They may be badly treated. B.They should take further training.
C.They could be traded illegally. D.They would lose popularity.

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过电影《猩球崛起》中猿的角色制作,引发人们对影视作品中动物角色的关注。
4.D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句中的“Thanks for not using real apes!”可知D项正确。
5.B 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“The creative team behind ‘Apes’ used motion-capture technology to create digitalized animals, spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that records an actor’s performance and later processes it with computer graphics to create a final image.”可知,电影《猩球崛起》背后的创作团队斥资数千万美元,利用动作捕捉技术创造数字化动物。该技术先要记录演员的表演,再用计算机进行图形处理,最终生成图像。由此可知,第二段主要是关于数字化类人猿的创造。故选B项。
6.D 词义猜测题。根据第三段画线词前的“One nonprofit organization, which monitors the treatment of animals in filmed entertainment(一个监控影视娱乐节目中动物的待遇的非营利组织)”以及下文“Already, a number of films, including ‘Water for Elephants,’ ‘The Hangover Part Ⅱ’and ‘Zookeeper,’ have drawn the anger of activists who say the creatures acting in them haven’t been treated properly.(已经有许多电影,包括《大象的眼泪》《宿醉2》和《动物园看守》,引起了动物保护人士的愤怒,他们说影片中的动物没有受到适当的对待。)”可知,其中一家监控动物待遇的非营利组织,今年正密切关注着两千多部影片的制作。由此判断出,画线词的意思是“密切注意”。故选D项。
7.A 推理判断题。 根据文章最后一段第一句可知,动物演员在摄影棚外的训练以及它们的生活条件引发担忧。故选A项。
【高考词汇站】 1.activist 2.digitalized 3.exception 4.production 5.穿着毛皮大衣的 6.全身的 7.逼真的
长难句
原句 In some cases, it’s not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists worried; it’s the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns.
分析 这是一个由分号连接的并列句。两个并列分句的结构都是强调句型“it is...that...”。
译文 在某些情况下,让活跃分子担心的并不是动物在片场受到的待遇,而是片场外的训练和生活条件。
