Question

【題目】 Once again DC Comics and Warner Bros. have divided fans and critics over their latest superhero film.

There had been worrying news aboutJustice Leaguein the months before its release, with a lot of reshoots of scenes, a new director being brought in to finish the film after original director Zack Snyder’s tragic loss of his daughter and, of course, a lot of talk about Ben Affleck’s future in the role of Batman.

Some people are saying thatJustice Leagueis another big disappointment, that it could have been incredible and instead fails to really entertain. Others say that Warner Bros. have finally got it right and that the future for the League looks bright.

My opinion lies somewhere in the middle. The film was by no means a disappointment: it was exciting, funny and a lot of fun to watch. There’s something special about watching the heroes from your childhood brought to life on the big screen and maybe that is affecting my opinion.

However, I will say that a lot of work needs to be done if the producer wants to make a great success. Although the film was good, it was obvious which scenes had been reshot and how the characters had been changed. I also have to mention the several scenes in which the special effects were very badly done; these are the kinds of problems that you don’t expect to see in a film with such a big budget.

Another point to add is that it is good to see the producer making Superman slightly a brighter character and adding some jokes to the plot to keep things fun. But the producer must be careful not to make the mistake that another film producer—here, not mentioning the name—is coming very close to doing: turning all of the films into bright and colorful shows and losing a lot of seriously good stories.

In the end,Justice Leagueis not a perfect film but it is definitely not a terrible one. A lot of work is still to be done but I hope that DC does not completely lose its darker side.

本文是一篇說明文，介紹了作者對《正義聯(lián)盟》這部電影的看法。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“There had been worrying news aboutJustice Leaguein the months before its release, with a lot of reshoots of scenes, a new director being brought in to finish the film after original director Zack Snyder’s tragic loss of his daughter”可知，在《正義聯(lián)盟》上映前的幾個(gè)月里，一直有令人擔(dān)憂的消息，原導(dǎo)演扎克·斯奈德因女兒離世而無法繼續(xù)拍攝，所以一位新導(dǎo)演來繼續(xù)拍攝，很多場景都進(jìn)行了重新拍攝，由此可知，在上映之前，很多人都很擔(dān)心《正義聯(lián)盟》的質(zhì)量，故B項(xiàng)正確。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“There’s something special about watching the heroes from your childhood brought to life on the big screen and maybe that is affecting my opinion.”可知，作者說在大銀幕上看到童年時(shí)代的英雄們變得栩栩如生的感覺很特別，由此可知，作者認(rèn)為《正義聯(lián)盟》的特別之處是它能喚起童年的回憶，故D項(xiàng)正確。

【3】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第五段內(nèi)容可知，本段主要介紹了《正義聯(lián)盟》這部電影存在很多不足，比如重拍的場景很明顯、角色的改變也有缺陷以及幾個(gè)場景的特效很糟糕，同時(shí)指出如果制片人想取得巨大成功，還需要做很多工作，由此可知，作者在這一段主要表達(dá)他對這部電影的不足之處的看法，故A項(xiàng)正確。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“But the producer must be careful not to make the mistake that another film producer—here, not mentioning the name—is coming very close to doing: turning all of the films into bright and colorful shows and losing a lot of seriously good stories.”可知，但制片人必須小心，不要和另一個(gè)制片人一樣犯這種錯誤：把所有的電影都變成亮麗多彩的表演，而失去很多非常好的故事，由此可知作者提到另一個(gè)制片人就是提醒《正義聯(lián)盟》的制片人不要犯同樣的錯誤，故C項(xiàng)正確。
