Question

【題目】 The TV series, The Longest Day in Chang'an, which was shown on Chinese online platforms last summer became a hit soon. Since then, it has been shown on partnering streaming platforms and TV networks abroad. Some websites overseas also offered the program to their users paying for it— the first time a Chinese series was broadcast as paid content abroad.

"I was amazed by the overseas audience's love for this show," Cao Dun, director of The Longest Day in Chang'an, told Bejing Review. "I was worried that they wouldn't understand the complex political structure of the Tang dynasty. But in reality the show is prompting foreign audiences to research Tang dynasty's history to better understand the plot. "

The unique culture in ancient China is not a barrier but a bridge to connect with foreign audiences. In the TV series, every figure is given enough space to flesh out his or her character. Telling stories of ordinary Chinese people that resonate (引起共鳴) with the audience might be the way to communicate with the world. "The success of the TV series shows that beauty is a universal language crossing borders," he told Beijing Review.

His ambition is to distinguish Chinese dramas from the TV shows in the rest of the world. "The TV series is a step in my plan to tell Chinese stories to the world," Cao said. "After describing the impressive beauty of the Tang dynasty, I am looking for several plays that tell stories of today's China. I don’t want to copy any country's production. Chinese dramas have to be built on our rich culture and Chinese people's everyday life," Cao added.

【解析】

這是一篇新聞報道。文章講述了去年夏天中國網(wǎng)上很火的電視劇《長安十二時辰》，也在國外的合作流媒體平臺和電視網(wǎng)絡上播放，一些海外網(wǎng)站也向付費用戶提供了這個節(jié)目，這部電視劇的成功表明，美是一種跨越國界的通用語言。

【1】推理判斷題。由第一段的句子“The TV series, The Longest Day in Chang'an, which was shown on Chinese online platforms last summer became a hit soon. Since then, it has been shown on partnering streaming platforms and TV networks abroad.”可知，中國網(wǎng)劇《長安十二時辰》一經(jīng)播出就成為熱門，之后甚至在國外平臺播放，說明此劇一經(jīng)播出就很受歡迎，D項切題，排除A項；由第一段的句子“Some websites overseas also offered the program to their users paying for it”可知，此劇在國外某些網(wǎng)站是要付費的，故排除B項；C項無中生有，排除C項。故選D項。

【2】詞義猜測題。由第二段中的句子“I was worried that they wouldn't understand the complex political structure of the Tang dynasty. But in reality the show is prompting foreign audiences to research Tang dynasty's history to better understand the plot.”可知，曹盾導演擔心他們不了解唐代復雜的政治結(jié)構(gòu)，但事實上，這部劇正促進外國觀眾研究唐朝的歷史，以便更好地理解故事情節(jié)，所以prompting在此處可能是“鼓勵”外國觀眾研究唐朝歷史，以便更好地理解故事情節(jié)。故選C項。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。由題干關鍵詞a success可將答案定位在第三段。由第三段的最后一句“The success of the TV series shows that beauty is a universal language crossing borders”可知，這部電視劇的成功表明美是一種跨越國界的通用語言，說明電視劇的成功在于對美的認可。故選B項。

【4】推理判斷題。由題干關鍵詞ambition可將答案定位在最后一段。由最后一段“The TV series is a step in my plan to tell Chinese stories to the world”和“I don’t want to copy any country's production. Chinese dramas have to be built on our rich culture and Chinese people's everyday life”可知，這部電視連續(xù)劇是曹盾向世界講述中國故事計劃的一步，他不想復制任何國家的產(chǎn)品，他認為中國戲劇必須建立在我們豐富的文化和中國人民的日常生活之上，說明曹盾的野心是向世界講述中國故事。故選A項。

在高考中，細節(jié)理解題為頻繁�？碱}型，集中考查文中細節(jié)。在做此類題型時，同學們可以先從問題中找到關鍵詞，然后以此為線索，運用略讀和查閱技巧迅速在文中找到這一細節(jié)，把這部分內(nèi)容仔細讀一遍，比較所給選項與文中細節(jié)的細微差別。如在第3小題中，分析問題，得到關鍵詞a success，迅速定位到第三段，找到句子“The success of the TV series shows that beauty is a universal language crossing borders”可知，這部電視劇的成功表明美是一種跨越國界的通用語言，說明電視劇的成功在于對美的認可。故選B項。
