4、本题正确答案为C选项。4. 翻译题The Real Reason Matt Damon Was Brought in to Save Ancient ChinaNow, what about that movie about the Great Wall of China starring everyones favorite Chinese actor Matt Damon?1. It was just one of a slew of comments on social media in the past few weeks lampooning a huge action movie

5、that is scheduled to hit theaters early in 2017. “The Great Wall”, a co-production between China and Hollywood, is the most expensive film ever shot entirely in China, costing more than $150 million. The movie features Matt Damon, Willem Dafoe and a slate of popular Chinese actors using the Great Wa

6、ll to defend humanity from a monster attack.But since the films trailer was released, journalists and commentators on social media have criticized it for whitewashing-replacing roles that could or should be cast with actors of color with white actors. What is Matt Damon doing saving ancient China, a

7、nyway? Couldnt the Chinese handle that on themselves?2. The critics definitely have a pointthe film industry has a long arid troubling history of minimizing actors of colors. Some in the industry boycotted the 2016 Oscars, after only white actors and actresses were chosen for the top four categories

8、 for the second year in a row. And movies including. “Dr. Strange”, “Ghost in the Shell and “Aloha” have all recently been criticized for casting white actresses in originally Asian roles, just the latest episode in a long history of whitewashing in Hollywood.Yet, theres also an irony that many have

9、 missed. Despite Damons prominent appearance, the nuts and bolts of The Great Wall” are more Chinese than perhaps any major co-production between the United States and China has been before. Within China, the movie is being hailed as the first of its kind to be made by a major Chinese director, back

10、ed by Chinese-owned Hollywood studio and featuring Chinese historical themes. And if successful, it could mark a step forward for the influence of the Chinese film industry around the world.The Great Wall is definitely among the biggest budget co-productions, and its the first very large budget one

11、in which there is a major Chinese creative force behind it,” says Anne Kokas, as assistant professor of media studies at the University of Virginia and the author of the forthcoming book, “Hollywood made in China.” “Thats part of the story thats getting left out.”3. In recent years, Hollywood has be

12、gun avidly courting movie-goers in China, the worlds seconds-largest market that could surpass the United States to become the largest next year. The Chinese film industry is also eager to develop films that appeal to its own audiences that can also succeed outside its borders. Creating a film that

13、captures audiences in both China and the United States has been a Holly Grail for the global film this year, the first time a major American production company has come under Chinese Control.The film was written by Hollywood screenwriters, and it features Western stars Damon, Dafoe and Pedro Pascal,

14、 apparently in a bid to attract audiences outside Chinas borders. There is another less recognized way in which the heroism of Damons character, a European mercenary, who ultimately helps to save China, could be seen as problematic.4. Director Zhang Yimou spoke out to defend The Great Wall” against

15、charges of whitewashing late last week. “In many ways The Great Wall is the opposite of what is being suggested. For the first time, a film deeply rooted in Chinese culture, with one of the largest Chinese casts ever assembled, is being made at tent pole scale for a world audience.” He added, Matt D

16、amon is not playing a role that was originally conceived for a Chinese actor.Others have pointed to an obvious profit motive in the choice, saying that Damons presence in the film is likely to bring in viewers around the world who wouldnt ordinarily watch a film set in ancient China. In addition, th

17、e strategy of putting a white Hollywood actor at the helm of a movie to broaden its reach can fail too, as Constance Wu pointed out. Thats true for Chinese films as well: Chinese studios have paid millions of dollars to stars including Christian Bale, Adrien Brody and John Cusack to appear in mostly

18、 Chinese films that ultimately had little success in Western markets.5. Inside China, the conversation surrounding the film has been very different. Most Chinese have cheered it, seeing Zhang Yimous in a big-budget Hollywood film and the prominence of the Great Wall as forces that could advance Chin

19、as cultural influence abroad. And now what Legendary Entertainment is owned by Chinese company Dalian Wanda, those in the industry are watching eagerly to see whether Chinas influence in Hollywood and the global film market will grow.If “The Great Wall” is a box office fit, it could serve as a model

20、 for future China-U.S. co-production. If it flops, it will likely leave the industry further confused about how to create film that appeals to both Chinese and international audiences- and whether such a task can reliably be done.【答案】1. 【参考译文】这只是过去几周在社交媒体上对一部定于2017年初上映的大型动作电影进行嘲讽的众多评论之一。由中国和好莱坞联合制作的

21、长城是有史以来完全在中国拍摄的最昂贵的电影，耗资超过1.5亿美元。2. 【参考译文】影评人有自己的道理电影业有一个长期令人不安的惯例，那就是一直在减少演员的肤色。一些业内人士抵制了2016年的奥斯卡颁奖典礼，因为只有白人男女演员连续两年进入前四名。3. 【参考译文】近年来，好莱坞已经开始在中国热切地吸引电影观众。中国是世界第二大市场，明年可能会超过美国成为最大的市场。中国电影业也渴望开发出既能吸引本国观众、又能在海外取得成功的电影。4. 【参考译文】上周晚些时候，导演张艺谋直言不讳地为长城辩护，驳斥了“粉饰”的指控。“从很多方面来讲，长城与人们的想法正好相反。一部拥有有史以来最大规模的中国演员

27、or illnesses or care for sick relatives. But while the law guarantees that workers wont lost their jobs, it doesnt cover their paychecks. One survey last year showed that while 24 million Americans had taken leaves since 1999, 2.7 million more wanted to but couldnt afford it. That may change soon. I

28、n response to increasing demands from voters at least 25 states are now exploring new ways to offer paid leave.

When the states acting governor, Jane Swift, gave birth to twin daughters in May, she drew attention to the issue with her own working maternity leave: she telecommuted part-time but earned her usual full-time salary. Even before Swift returned to

31、 work last week, the state Senate unanimously passed a pilot plan that would use surplus funds from a health-insurance program for the unemployed to give new parents 12 weeks off at half pay. Another plan, proposed in the House, would require employers to kick in $20 per worker to set up a New Famil

Business groups are resistant to proposals that would raid unemployment funds; several have already filed suit to

Business lobbyists say too many employees already abuse existing federal family-leave laws by taking time off for dubious reasons or in tiny time increments. The proposed laws, t

35、hey say, would only make matters worse.For Garro and Duplisea, though, the new laws could make all the difference.

40、判断题。题目问的是“当伽罗说它会带走你的存款和保障，她的意思是什么？”文章第一段提到伽罗夫妇不得不冻结养老账号，缩减女儿的课后活动，还要祈求汽车不出问题（the couple will have to freeze their retirement accounts, scale back on Melinas after-school activities-and pray that nothing goes wrong with the car），由此可知请假照顾孩子让他们的经济问题越发严重，因此选项B符合题意。3.细节事实题。题目问的是“如果伽罗生活在马萨诸塞州，她将会”。文章第三段提到

41、在她（Swift）重返工作岗位前，州参议院一致通过了一项试点方案，即允许用失业人员医疗保险计划的声誉基金，让刚生了孩子的父母可以拿一般工资休假12周（Even before Swift returned to work last week, the state Senate unanimously passed a pilot plan that would use surplus funds from a health-insurance program for the unemployed to give new parents 12 weeks off at half pay），由此可知

42、选项A符合题意。4.词义题。题目问的是“perk这个词最有可能的意思是”。从文章第二、三段可知，各个州政府都试图动用各种基金对请假照顾新生儿的父母进行经济帮助，由此可知此处是政府拨款，因此选项A符合题意。5.观点态度题。题目问的是“作者对带薪请假的观点是什么？”文章第一段通过伽罗夫妇的实例来引出当下的一种现象，即有些家庭为了照顾孩子不得不请假，从而导致了经济困难；文章第二、第三段提到各州为了解决问题采取了一些相应措施；文章最后提到这些政策会带来翻天覆地的变化，会帮到伽罗夫妇（In Massachusetts and plenty of other states, help may be on

43、the way），所以作者对这些措施的看法是证明的，因此选项C符合题意。7. 单选题The police have offered a large（）for information leading to robbers arrest.问题1选项A.rewardB.awardC.compensationD.prize【答案】D【解析】考查名词词义辨析。reward意为“酬谢，奖赏”，尤指因表现出色或向他人提供帮助或服务而得到的酬谢；award尤指因表现出色或成绩卓越由官方决定颁发的“奖品，奖金，奖赏，奖状”；compensation尤指因损失而给予的“补偿（赔偿）物，补偿（赔偿）金”；prize

47、net. We are capable of outstanding feats of technology and engineering. Then why are we so prone to making mistakes? And why do we tend to make the same ones time and time again? When Primate Psychologist Laurie Santos form the Comparative Cognition Lab at Yale University posed this question to her

48、team, they were thinking in particular of the errors of judgment which led to the recent collapse of the financial markets. Santos came to two possible answers to this question. Either humans have designed environments which are too complex for us to folly understand, or we are biologically prone to

49、 making bad decisions.In order to test these theories, the team selected a group of Brown Capuchin monkeys. Monkeys were selected for the test because, as distant relatives of humans, they are intelligent and have the capacity to learn. However, they are not influenced by any of the technological or

50、 cultural environments which affect human decision-making. The team wanted to test whether the Capuchin monkeys, when put into similar situations as humans, would make the same mistakes.Of particular interest to the scientists was whether monkeys would make the same mistakes when making financial de

51、cisions. In order to find out, they had to introduce the moneys to money. The monkeys soon cottoned on, and as well as learning simple exchange techniques, were soon able to distinguish “bargains”-If one teammember offered two grapes in exchange for a metal disc and another team-member offered one g

52、rape, the monkeys chose the two-grape option .Interestingly, when the date about the monkeys purchasing strategies was compared with economists data on human behaviour, there was as perfect match.So, after establishing that the monkey market was operating effectively, the team decided to introduce s

53、ome problems which humans generally get wrong. One of these issues is risk-taking. Imagine that someone gave you $ 1000. In addition to this $ 1000, you can receive either A) an additional $ 500 or B) someone tosses a coin and if it lands heads you receive an additional $ 1000, but if it lands tails

54、 you receive no more money. Of these options, most people tend to choose option A. They prefer guaranteed earnings, rather than running the risk of receiving nothing. Now imagine a second situation in which you are given $ 2000. Now，you can choose to either A) lose $ 500, leaving you with a total of

55、 $1500, or B) toss a coin; if it land heads you lose nothing , but if it lands tails you lose $ 1000, leaving you with only $ 1000. Interestingly, when we stand to lose money, we tend to choose the more risky choice, option B. And as we know from the experience of financial investors and gamblers, i

56、t is unwise to take risks when we are on a losing streak.So would the monkeys make the same basic error of judgment? The team put them to the test by giving them similar options. In the first test, monkeys had the option of exchanging their disc for one grape and receiving one bonus grape, or exchan

57、ging the grape for one grape and sometimes receiving two bonus grapes and sometimes receiving no bonus. It turned out that monkeys, like human, chose the less risky option in times of plenty. Then the experiment was reversed. Monkeys were offered there grapes, but in option A were only actually give

58、n two grapes. In option B, they had a fifty-fifty chance of receiving all three grapes or one grape only. The results were that monkeys, like humans, take more risks in times of loss.The implications of this experiment are that because monkeys make the same irrational judgements that humans do, mayb

59、e human error is not a result of the complexity of our financial institutions, but is imbedded in our evolutionary history. It this is the case, our errors of judgement will be very difficult to overcome. On a more optimistic note however, humans are fully capable of overcoming limitations once we h

60、ave identified them. By recognising them, we can design technologies which will help us to make better choices in future.1. What was the aim of the experiment outlined above?2. Which of the following statements is the best paraphrase of the highlighted sentence? On a more optimistic note however, hu

61、mans are fully capable of overcoming limitations once we have identified them.3. The words “cottoned on “ are closest in meaning to（）.4. Which paragraph addresses why moneys were chosen for the experiment?5. What can be inferred about Laurie Santos?问题1选项A.To investigate whether monkeys could learn t

62、o use moneyB.To investigate where human mistakes come fromC.To find out whether it is better to take risks in times of lossD.To determine whether monkeys make more mistakes than humans问题2选项A.Hopefully, humans will soon be able to solve these problems.B.Fortunately, humans can solve problems that we
