6.Fifty has never looked better.
It's been 50years since the first James Bond film,Dr.No,premiered (首映) in cinemas.As first embodied by Scottish actor Sean Connery,Agent 007was a fearless,cool-as-ice spy who excelled at sleuthing (偵查),fighting and saving the world.
Since then,more than 20films featuring the iconic (偶像的) spy have been released-making it one of the longest-running franchises (授權) in the history of cinema.On Nov 9,the 23rd Bond movie,Skyfall,celebrated the legend's 50th birthday.
Over the years,audiences have changed.It doesn't matter.Six different actors have acted 007and it doesn't matter.Even shocking technological and cultural changes can't bend Bond.Why?Is it the action,the sexy women,the cars,the gadgets and the exotic locations?Yes,but the most important reason is still the man himself.Bond can challenge his boss and shoot a bad guy in mere minutes.He is an expert in literature,languages,art and fine wines. He has a sharp tongue besides his wits.
In the first film Dr.No,as Connery lit a cigarette,we heard James Bond's voice and saw his café for the first time.The simple scene and short phrase have defined the character for half a century.
"Next to the Beatles and Stones,James Bond was the greatest British import of the 1960s,"David Kamp,a US contributing editor for Vanity Fair,wrote in a recent article about the birth of Bond and its influence on the US.
The Bond phenomenon has clearly affected movie culture,pop culture and spy culture.But perhaps the most amazing thing is that 007has survived in the age of feminism."Talking of objectifying women,Bond is essential Huge Henfner (founder of Playboy magazine) with a gun,"movie critic Xan Brooks told The Guardian."But women liked Bond,too.He couldn't have run for 50years with male fans alone."
We love Bond for many reasons-after all 50years,Bond is still breathtaking.thrilling ride into the very heart of an icon like no other.But most of all,we may love him for one reason:"he always gets away with it."one said.

分析 本文主要介紹了英國演員肖恩•康納利(Sean Connery)在007系列電影中所飾演的英國情報特工詹姆斯•邦德(James Bond )在女權主義時代,給人們帶來的影響以及人們熱愛他的原因;文中講到:從第一部007系列電影《諾博士》上映至今已有50年的歷史了;代號007詹姆斯•邦德是一名無畏的,精于偵查,戰(zhàn)斗和拯救世界的酷冰間諜;另外,他還是文學、語言、藝術和優(yōu)質葡萄酒專家,他冷酷機智,因此這一角色深受人們的熱愛;人們都希望他總能在最危難時化險為夷,硬硬朗朗的活下去.
解答 答案:
26.C 細節(jié)理解題 根據第四段"Is it the action,the sexy women,the cars,the gadgets and the exotic locations?Yes,but the most important reason is still the man himself."可知,在 James Bond 的影片中,除了里面的動作,性感的女人,汽車,小玩意兒和一些奇特的地方吸引觀眾之外,最吸引人的還是Bond本人;故選C
27.D 句意猜測題 通讀第四段可知,它主要講述了Bond 受觀眾喜愛的原因;結合本段中"He is an expert in literature,languages,art and fine wines."介紹了Bond是文學、語言、藝術和優(yōu)質葡萄酒專家,可推測出"He has a sharp tongue besides his wits."講的應是他在其他方面的特點:他說話的方式與他的智慧(即:除了他的機智外,他的言語也很尖刻);故選D
28.D 是非判斷題 由于在第二段中"It's been 50years since the first James Bond film,Dr.No,premiered (首映) in cinemas"只提到距離他的第一部電影007系列的電影《諾博士》上映有50年的時間了,并沒說該電影的上映年份,故排除A;在第三段中"On Nov 9,the 23rd Bond movie,Skyfall,celebrated the legend's 50th birthday."只提到在11月9日第23屆邦德電影節(jié)上,007系列電影《天幕墜落》慶祝了邦德電影傳奇的第五十個生日;并沒有說是關于Bond的最后一部電影,故排除B;根據第六段"David Kamp,a US contributing editor for Vanity Fair"可知,David Kamp是美國電影《名利場》的特約編輯,而不是英國《衛(wèi)報》的編輯,故排除C;根據第七段"But perhaps the most amazing thing is that 007has survived in the age of feminism"可知,Bond的007系列電影幸存于女權主義時代;故選D
29.D 細節(jié)推理題 根據倒數(shù)第二段中"movie critic Xan Brooks told The Guardian."But women liked Bond,too.He couldn't have run for 50years with male fans alone."影評人Xan Brooks 告訴《衛(wèi)報》,女人也喜歡 Bond,只有男粉絲的話他存在50年,可知女人也喜歡 Bond的電影;故選D
30.A 主旨大意題 通讀全文可知,文中通過介紹主人公 James Bond本人以及他的影片在女權主義時期產生的重大影響,主要表達了人們對他的喜愛,并希望他總能化險為夷,硬硬朗朗的活下去;故選A
