57--61 AADAB
57.因果推斷題。文章開頭即提及“America...had a large immigrant population,many of whom could hardly speak English”和“the silent movies--these they could all understand”。而根據(jù)第一段末尾“irrespective of the fact they couldn't understand the captions”,可以排除選項(xiàng)D,也就是說美國初期移民們愛看無聲電影,因?yàn)闊o聲電影易懂,不用管能否看懂字幕。因此,正確答案為A項(xiàng)。
58.細(xì)節(jié)甄別題。由第二段的“Films continued to be made...,and to fill the gap in foreign imports”可知美國一戰(zhàn)期間電影繼續(xù)發(fā)展(盡管沒有先前的發(fā)展速度),以此來彌補(bǔ)從歐洲進(jìn)口電影數(shù)量的減少。故正確答案為A項(xiàng)。
59.推斷題。細(xì)讀第三段,文中提及“America was the world leader in film production,it was not then nor has it been since--in the lead when it comes to developing film as an art form”,這句話耐人尋味,意思是說:盡管上世紀(jì)20年代美國在電影制造業(yè)領(lǐng)先,但這決不表示當(dāng)時(shí)美國電影在藝術(shù)形式上領(lǐng)先(暗示數(shù)量、制造工藝可能領(lǐng)先,但對(duì)藝術(shù)的領(lǐng)悟和把捏并非領(lǐng)先)。因而選項(xiàng)A和B錯(cuò)誤,選項(xiàng)C是一個(gè)普通的、正常的美國人絕對(duì)不會(huì)做的,因而屬于常識(shí)性錯(cuò)誤。故正確答案為D項(xiàng)。
60.詞義推斷題。從上下文可以推斷出代詞it指示American movie industry。且it文后有“to develop its potential as an art form”,因此,正確答案為A項(xiàng)。
61.細(xì)節(jié)題。文末直接給出了“expressionism”的定義“a movement whose main aim was to show in images man's inner world and in particular the emotions of fear,hatred,love and anxiety”。毫無疑義,正確答案為B項(xiàng)。
