41、纸上。D. A newspaper.(报纸)符合以上说法，故选D项。DThey say that a picture is worth a thousand words, but the briefest look at books and the movies based on them would have anyone questioning this common saying. All too often, great words end up being turned into cinematic turkeys. Good movies need good stories. If
42、 so, why has one of the earliest and greatest works in Western storytelling, Homers The Odyssey, never had an equally great movie based on it? Movies need strong characters. So why have the movies based on The Great Gatsby never been praised as great? Movies of course need impressive images, so why
43、has Alice in Wonderland only resulted in movies best described as interesting?One of the key reasons behind this is that while a book usually takes a few days to read, a movie typically lasts under two hours. This means that great books can lose plot details and characters when they move to the big
44、screen. This is something that even the highly successful Harry Potter movies cant escape from, with fans of the books disappointed not to see some of their favorite characters in the movie versions. Movies also disappoint us when things dont look the way we imagined them in the books. Take, for exa
45、mple, the epic movie Troy, which is in part based on Homers The Iliad and was met with mixed reviews from the audience. The most questionable issue was the actress chosen to play the part of Helen. Many people thought she didnt live up to Helens title of the most beautiful woman in the world, influe
46、ncing opinions of the movie to some extent. There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand peoples eyes. Furthermore, books and movies are two different forms of media and therefore have different rules. With this in mind, perhaps we should judge a movie in its own right, and not against its original so
47、urce. Interestingly, audiences have in recent years turned to television series such as Sherlock or Mad Men, which can have many characters and gradual plot development. Perhaps, one day, readers of F. Scott Fitzgeralds most admired work will find themselves glued to their screens by episodes of The
48、 Great Gatsby.12. Which of the following statements about the movie adaptation is true?A. The characters in The Odyssey do not stand out.B. The movie Troy doesnt look the way we visualized while reading the book.C. The visual images are not as striking as the descriptions in the book The Great Gatsb
49、y.D. Some parts of the story and characters are missing in the movie Alice in Wonderland.13.

52、通过由小说改编而来的电影没能被大家认可这个话题，从而来讨论小说和改编电影的关系。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段的Movies also disappoint us when things dont look the way we imagined them in the books. Take, for example, the epic movie Troy(当故事不像我们读书时想象的那样时，电影总是让我们失望，以电影史诗特洛伊为例)可知，史诗电影特洛伊拍摄出来时，不像我们在阅读时想象的那样。B. The movie Troy doesnt look the way we visual
53、ized while reading the book.(电影特洛伊和我们读书时想象的不一样)符合以上说法，故选B项。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段第一句 One of the key reasons behind this is that while a book usually takes a few days to read, a movie typically lasts under two hours. This means that great books can lose plot details and characters when they move to the b
54、ig screen.可知，一本书需要几天才能看完，而电影只有两个小时以下的时间，故而容易丢失一些细节和人物，不能完整地呈现小说内容。D. there is not enough time for movies to fully present the whole story(对于电影来说没有足够的时间来呈现完整的故事)符合以上说法，故选D项。【14题详解】词义猜测题。There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand peoples eyes.本句字面意思为 “一千个人眼里有一千个哈姆雷特”，再结合下文的Furthermore, books and movie
55、s are two different forms of media and therefore have different rules.(此外，书和电影是两种完全不同的媒体，因此它们有不同的规则)可猜测划线部分的意思是：对于书和电影不同的人有不同的观点。D. Different people have different ideas about the books and movies.(关于书和电影不同的人有不同的看法)符合以上猜测，故选D项。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其是第一段的All too often, great words end up being tur
56、ned into cinematic turkeys. (伟大的词汇最终变成了电影院的“火鸡”)可知，本文主要通过由著名小说改编的电影并没有得到和原小说同样的认可这个话题。根据第三段第一句 One of the key reasons behind this is that while a book usually takes a few days to read, a movie typically lasts under two hours. This means that great books can lose plot details and characters when they
57、 move to the big screen. 可知，一本书需要几天才能看完，而电影只有两个小时以下的时间，故而容易丢失一些细节和人物，不能完整地呈现小说内容。C. Good books may not be adapted for great movies.(好书可能不会被改编成好的电影)符合以上说法，故选C项。第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Protect WildlifeWildlife faces threats from habitat destruction, polluti

63、野生动植物的作用，下文则介绍了一些具体的方法。F项“这里是一些关于如何通过小的举动保护野生动植物的方法”在此处承上启下，是最为合适的。故选F项。【17题详解】该段讲的是创造适合野生动植物生存的环境。G项“在庭院安设鸟房来吸引、保护这些物种”符合段落主题。故选G项。【18题详解】下文提到要保护水资源、乘坐公共交通、节约水电等一些绿色生活方式。A项“过更绿色的生活”作为主题句最能概括此段主旨。故选A项。【19题详解】空白处紧跟在段首主题句“购买野生动植物友好型产品”，也就是要我们拒绝购买由野生动植物制成的物品。因此D项“避免购买由濒危动植物制成的产品”符合逻辑。故选D项。【20题详解】本段主题是限
64、制家庭成员规模。人口过多会占据野生动植物的栖息地，空白处下一句也指出了这种方法的好处，C项“每个家庭限制生一到两个孩子”上下连贯，符合主题。故选C项。【点睛】七选五题型主要考查考生对文章的整体理解和掌握情况，相当于阅读理解和完形填空的综合。它不仅需要阅读速度，还要对文章的结构、主旨、写作意图、观点都有所了解。主要考点包括：1.考查主题句，也就是考查对文章整体内容的概括能力；2.考查上下文衔接，即考查文章的过渡部分；3.考查中心句，需要考生学会归纳段落大意。拿到题目时，应该先确定出题位置；读题干，再读需要填入句子的上下句，画出关键词；读文章各段落，确定段落中心句和文章主题句；通读文章确定上下句和
65、选项之间的逻辑关系。针对不同设空位置选择不同的策略就能事半功倍。如第3小题缺少的是段落主题句，可以先理清本段的内容：节约用水和燃料，出行尽量选择公共交通。显然是倡导绿色生活的主题，与A选项的内容正好符合。第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Many people, some even at a very young age, set the goal of graduating from college. _21_, one American woma

99、ling改为feel。3. 考查时间副词。句意：仅仅在三年前，我还害怕在冰上行走或溜冰。ago立足于现在，表示从现在起，若干时间之前，通常与一般过去时连用；before立足过去，表示从过去某一时刻起，若干时间以前，通常与过去完成时连用。此处是一般过去时，指 “三年前”，应用three years ago。故将before改为ago。4. 考查冠词。club为可数名词，泛指“一个俱乐部”，skating的首字母发音是辅音，所以应加上冠词a。故在join后面加a。5. 考查连词。句意：我的老师很好，并且在我知道之前，我已经能滑冰了。分析句意可知，前后句逻辑关系为并列关系，应用连词and连接。故将b
100、ut改为and。6. 考查时态。根据文章内容可知，这里是回忆过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故将persuades改为persuaded。7. 考查固定用法。由every构成的短语作时间状语时，前面不用介词，故去掉almost前面的on。8. 考查副词。句意：我们现在为国家性比赛刻苦训练，希望有一天能成为冠军。hardly是副词，表示“几乎不”；hard作副词时意为“努力，刻苦”，此处表示“刻苦训练”，应用hard。故将hardly改为hard。9. 考查名词单复数。由主语We和national competitions可知，此处应用复数champions。故将champion改为champi
101、ons。10. 考查代词。句意：但是我的最终目标是成为一名冰球老师，并帮助人们做这项运动。由上下文语境和逻辑关系可知，此处是 “我的” 最终目标，应用my。故将his改为my。第二节 书面表达（满分25分）52. 假定你是李华，你从就读于纽约大学的笔友John那里了解到他们学校的网站正在招募网络漫画师（cartoonist）。请你给该网站写封自荐信，内容包括：1. 自我介绍；2. 自身优势；3. 承诺及期望。注意：1. 词数100左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。_【答案】Dear Sir or Madam,Im Li Hua.
