【題目】While most of western festivals enjoy great popularity worldwide, Halloween is something of a ________ festival in England as camps are divided as its appeal.

A. confidential B. controversial

C. conservative D. conventional

【答案】B

【解析】考查形容詞辨析。confidential機密的;controversial有爭議的;conservative保守的;conventional傳統(tǒng)的。根據(jù)后面的“as camps are divided as its appeal”可知,人們對萬圣節(jié)的態(tài)度不同,并就此劃分出了不同的陣營。因此controversial(有爭議的)符合語境,故選B。

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,選擇最佳答案。
Animals have been used, and sometimes abused(虐待), in movie-making since the early days of the industry. However, the American Humane Association has worked for many years to protect animals in films. And, the digital age might make animal actors unnecessary.
The new film “Dolphin Tale” tells about a dolphin that loses her tail because of an injury from a crab-trap. A doctor provides her with an artificial tail that saves her life. The film is based on a real event. And the star of the film, Winter, is a real dolphin that lost her tail. The American Humane Society worked with the movie's makers to make sure Winter stayed safe and healthy during filming. The animal protection group does this for all animal actors in America.
A thick book of rules and guidelines tells Hollywood moviemakers how to treat animals. Karen Rosa leads the American Humane Society's film and television group. He said, “Everything from the smallest insect to the largest mammal shall be protected. We believe that for the sake of entertainment, everybody should go home alive.
This was not always the policy in the early days of film. In 1939, a horse was forced off a mountain, falling to his death, in the movie “Jesse James.” The next year, guidelines were established to guarantee safe and healthy conditions for animals in movies.
A new film “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” tells about the creation of super intelligent apes through science. However, no real animals were among the performers. Computer generated imagery provided the chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans that movie goers see. Clare Richardson is the president of the Diane Fossey Gorilla Fund. She says computer generated imagery should decrease the use of animals in the film industry. She praises movie makers for the use of computer-made animals.
