Born in Chicago in 1901，Walt Disney always wanted to be an artist.After returning from World War Ⅰ，in which he drove an ambulance，Disney worked as a commercial artist.He enjoyed drawing cartoons more than anything else，and decided to try his hand at a technology that was new at the time，moving pictures. In the 1920’s，he produced several films where he made cartoon characters move as if by magic.The technique Disney used was painstaking.He made hundreds or even thousands of repeated drawings of the same character.In each drawing，the character was changed just a bit.A film was taken of the series of drawings，and when it was shown，the characters appeared to move.The process，called animation，is still used today，although computers have made the process much easier. In 1928，Disney created his most famous character，Mortimer Mouse，who we know today as Mickey.The mouse starred in a cartoon called Steamboat Willie，which was unusual because it involved the use of a sound track.Within the next few years，Disney invented many of his other characters. The list of Disney’s animation successes is long and memorable.It includes Pinocchio，Dumbo，Bambi，Cinderella，and Peter Pan.Perhaps his most remarkable animated film is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.Created in 1937，it was an immediate success.Today，more than fifty years later，it is still one of the most popular films for children. Main idea　現(xiàn)在的年輕人也許不知道奧斯華幸運(yùn)兔，但肯定知道兔八哥。奧斯華幸運(yùn)兔、兔八哥和其他幾百個(gè)動(dòng)畫(huà)形象都是歷史上最偉大的動(dòng)畫(huà)家沃爾特·迪士尼創(chuàng)作的。迪士尼開(kāi)過(guò)救護(hù)車(chē)，當(dāng)過(guò)商業(yè)畫(huà)家，但他最感興趣的還是畫(huà)卡通人物。1928年，最著名的卡通人物米老鼠誕生，其后一大批卡通形象相繼出世，如匹諾曹、小飛象、小鹿斑比、灰姑娘和彼得·潘。白雪公主和七個(gè)小矮人一出世即大獲成功，即使五十年后的今天，仍然是孩子們最喜歡的電影之一。 1．What is one of the chief differences between animation today and in Walt Disney’s early years? A．More people like animated movies. B．Fewer people like animated movies. C．Computers have made the job easier. D．Computers have made the job harder. 答案　C 解析　從第三段最后一句可知早期動(dòng)畫(huà)是純手工完成，費(fèi)時(shí)費(fèi)力，現(xiàn)在由電腦制作，容易多了。 2．Which of these words best describes Walt Disney? A．Creative. B．Athletic. C．Exciting. D．Quiet. 答案　A 解析　creative有創(chuàng)意的；athletic愛(ài)運(yùn)動(dòng)的；exciting令人興奮的；quiet安靜的。只有A項(xiàng)符合文章對(duì)迪士尼的描寫(xiě)。 3．What makes the film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs so remarkable? A．It was a little success when created. B．It took more than a year to make it. C．It was made at a time when there were no computers. D．It has remained popular for more than fifty years. 答案　D 解析　從文章最后一段的最后一句可知。 4．The author of this passage would probably agree that ________. A．Oswald the Rabbit is well-known today B．Walt Disney is a remarkable person C．a(chǎn)nimation is an easy technique D．cartoons move by magic 答案　B 解析　本題可用排除法和推理法。從第一段的第一句可知現(xiàn)在幾乎沒(méi)人知道Oswald the Rabbit了；從第三段的第二句“The technique Disney used was painstaking.”可知animation一點(diǎn)也不容易；從常識(shí)可知?jiǎng)赢?huà)片不是通過(guò)魔術(shù)動(dòng)起來(lái)的。故只有B項(xiàng)對(duì)，迪士尼是個(gè)偉大的人。 5．What does the underlined word “painstaking” (in Paragraph 3) probably mean? A．Something that hurts because it involves hard work. B．Taking a long time and involving much hard work. C．Requiring a lot of effort，like running a marathon. D．Requiring many fine tools，such as pens and pencils. 答案　B 解析　由第三段畫(huà)線(xiàn)單詞后的句子可知“同一個(gè)人物都要畫(huà)幾千張圖，每張圖都要稍微變化一點(diǎn)”才能使動(dòng)畫(huà)活起來(lái)，所以推斷B項(xiàng)正確。 major adj.主要的，重要的；v.主修 生義：adj.嚴(yán)重的；n.少校；主修課程；主修學(xué)生 Never mind—it’s not major. 別擔(dān)心——這不嚴(yán)重。 He’s a major in the US army. 他是美國(guó)陸軍少校。 She’s a French major. 她是法語(yǔ)專(zhuān)業(yè)的學(xué)生。
