Question

20．Hollywood
To many people，the word Hollywood has two meanings．（56）D．Second，Hollywood is also the US movie industry．
Hollywood was just a farmland at the beginning of this century．Early American movies were made in other places； for example，in New York and Chicago．
In 1917 a director was making a movie in Chicago．Because of cold weather，he couldn‟t finish the movie．（57）C．And there he found just the weather and scenery he needed to finish his movie．The director realized that southern California was the perfect place for making movies．The next year his company built a movie studio in Hollywood．（58）A．Before long nearly all important American movie studios were in Hollywood，Los Angeles．
The next thirty years were Hollywood‟s greatest years．Thousands of movies were made，most by a few large and powerful studios．（59）E．
Hollywood also reached its high point in these years．Many famous movie stars，like Bette Davis and Clark Gable，lived in Hollywood．
（60）B．More movies are made outside of Hollywood．Many studios have moved．The movie stars have also moved to areas like Beverly Hills and Malibu．
But visitors to Hollywood today can go to the famous Chinese Theatre and see the footprints and autographs of movie stars．They can go down the Walk of Fame，on Hollywood Boulevard，and see the golden stars in the sidewalk．

Answer 1

分析 【文章大意】這篇文章主要講的是好萊塢電影基地的發(fā)展達到極限的過程，對于游客而言，它還是令人向往的地方．

解答 56．D 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)下文：Second，Hollywood is also the US movie industry．可知這里說的是第二點：好萊塢也是美國的電影行業(yè)．所以此處說的是第一點，故選D．
57．C 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)上文：Because of cold weather，he couldn‟t finish the movie．可知因為寒冷的天氣，他不能完成這部電影．所以此處應該是他去了南方旅游來找到適合的地方．故選C．
58．A 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)上文：The next year his company built a movie studio in Hollywood．可知他在好萊塢建立了一個電影基地．所以此處應該是其他人也會跟著來建的，這是商業(yè)所驅(qū)．故選A．
59．E 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)上文：The next thirty years were Hollywood‟s greatest years．Thousands of movies were made，most by a few large and powerful studios可知這里講述了好萊塢30年的輝煌歷史，所以一些電影作品肯定是值得回味的．故選E．
60．B 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)下文：More movies are made outside of Hollywood．Many studios have moved．可知很多電影是在好萊塢之外制作的．而上一段說好萊塢在這些年來也達到了高潮．所以此處應該有句子來過渡．故選B．
