3.B 推理判断题。根据原文第三段中的“Victorisverysadandlonelyuntilhebringsthedogbacktolifeinspiredbyanexperimentofhisscienceteacheraboutthepowerofelectricity.”可推断,电影《弗兰肯维尼》可能是一部科幻电影。4.A 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“I’dliketorecommendthismovietokidsbecauseoftheunusualandlivelycharacters.Anditdoesattractthosewhoareinterestedincartoontechniquestoseethisfilm.Theeffectswillblowyourmindoutofthewater.Besuretocheckoutthisexcitingmovieintheaters.”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是向人们推荐一部电影。【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一部电影,介绍了电影的基本情节以及观影者的评论。尽管评论并不都是积极的,但是演员让我们相信,只要我们竭尽全力,一切皆有可能。5.C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“AsasuccessfulAmericanbusinessmanandinspiringspeaker,ChrisGardnerusedtostrugglewithhomelessnesswhileraisingason.”可知,ChrisGardner是一个有影响力的人物。6.A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“InthismovieChrisGardner,astrugglingsalesman”以及“Heisanintelligent,successfulworkman”可知,ChrisGardner的生活既挣扎又成功。7.B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“somecriticshavesaidthatThePursuitofHappynessdoesnotreflectreality”以及“Despitethiscriticism,theendingleavesyouwithawarmfeeling”可知,最后一段主要讲对此电影的评论。8.D 主旨大意题。根据文章分析可知,本篇文章通过对电影的主人公虽然生活艰难,苦苦挣扎,但他一直没有放弃希望,竭尽全力挣钱保护儿子,最后成功的事例的介绍,进而想要表达“不放弃,有决心就会带来幸福”。Ⅴ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,就在舞台上面对观众时如何克服恐惧进行演讲提出了一些建议。1.D 上文“Practiceyourspeechbeforethebigday.”意为:在这个重要的日子之前,练习你的演讲。该空对上文作补充说明,D选项“你记住得越多,就会越好”切题,故选D项。2.G 上文“Thespeechorganizersmusthaveseensomethingvaluableinyouoryourexpertise.”意为:演讲组织者一定是看中了你的价值,或是你的专业技能。该空承接上文,G选项“知道其他人对你的尊敬应该会减少一些恐惧”切题,故选G项。3.E 上文“Rememberthatfearofpublicspeakingisverycommon.”意为:记住害怕公开演讲是非常常见的。该空承接上文,E选项“事实上,在重要的演讲之前,感到为难或是焦虑不安是正常的”切题,故选E项。
4.C 该空为段落主题句。根据下文的“whoyou’respeakingto...Ifspeakingtoacharitygroup...Ifspeakingatabusinessconference”可知这一段主要讲了要在演讲中提到你的听众,故选C项。5.F 下文“Pickonepersonineachsectionandlookathimwhileyou’respeaking.”有线索词section,故F选项“在你起身发言的时候,在脑子里把人群分成三个部分”切题,故选F项。
