27、k, showing great concern and dissatisfaction with the care for children.The difficult trick of living inside another persons mind and being able to put your reader inside that same mind, is a capability held only by writers of exceptional skill and talent. Mr. Drake has approached the problem by mak

28、ing a 10-year-old boy his central character. The boy does not for a moment come across as a real child. Irresponsible parents abandoned him, his grandfather disliked him, he took everything literally, and begged everyone for love. Bret is being used to make a point. His ideas are too poetic, his res

29、ponse too direct, and the contrasts of good and evil too simplistic for real life. He is being manipulated by someone behind the scenery trying to tell us something.For fifteen years the author has been dealing with people with psychological trouble at the V. I. T. Neuropsychiatric Institute. He has

30、 actively been involved in this field at other institutions for a quarter of a century. This book is a form of acting out, through the character, Bret, the pain of a rejected child. If one understands the book in those terms, one may be willing to believe the imaginary story. If viewed in this light

31、, the exaggerated movements and reactions of the characters became less unbelievable and therefore more meaningful. The excessively poetic passages of description and emotion, seen as stage flats made more colorful than nature in order to look real from afar, are acceptable in a drama whereas they a

32、re irritating in a novel. The one-sided characterizations-insane father, immature mother, mean old grandmother, selfish aunt, cruel neighbors, and totally misunderstood Bretare figures moving across a lit stage to dramatize a message. The true-to-life ending, without resolution or growth or developm

33、ent, might work on a stage, however, it is contrary to everything a novel should do.Calling the book a novel is the publishers mistake, the work is more nearly a drama. Perhaps it is one of Mr. Drakes psychodramas in print and should so be judged.（分数：5.00）(1).The author of the passage feels that _.

34、A. Mr. Drakes character, Bret, is too unrealistic B. the central character should not be manipulated C. the message conveyed by the characterization is important D. Mr. Drake is not good at writing novels（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).It seems that _. A. Bret isnt created for the stage B. Bret is surrounded b

35、y a hostile environment C. Bret is too simple-minded to be liked by anyone D. Bret himself is indifferent to his environment（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Mr. Drake _. A. is using his book to send a message to people B. does not like his character himself C. does not have a pleasant experience as a child D. i

36、s too impersonal in writing the story（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What doe Drake want to achieve with his book? A. To make the pain of a rejected child known. B. To describe the miserable living conditions of orphans. C. To illustrate the fact that a drama can be more effective than a novel. D. To call for

37、the simplicity of life.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).This passage is most likely to be _. A. a drama review B. a novel review C. a comment on lack of parental love or children D. a comment on story-writing styles（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.九、BPassage 2/B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Unfortunately, most of the science fiction films of

38、 the 1970s were not much influenced by 2001: A Space Odyssey, skillfully directed by Stanley Kubrick, which appeared in 1968, set new standards for science fiction films. During the next decade, every one of the dozens of science fiction movies released was compared to 2001, and all but a few found

39、sadly lacking.Admittedly, Kubrick had one of the largest budgets ever for a film of this kind, but, in my opinion, much of the movies power and appeal was achieved through relatively inexpensive means. For example, the musical score, which was adapted in large part from well-known classical composit

40、ions, was reinforced by the use of almost kaleidoscopic visual effects, especially during the space travel sequences. Spectacular camera work was edited to correspond precisely to the ebb and flow of the music.After 2001, the dominant theme of science fiction films shifted from the adventures of spa

41、ce travel to the problems created on earth by mans mismanagement of the natural environment and the abuse of technology by a totalitarian state. Overpopulation and the accompanying shortages of food prompt the state to impose extraordinary controls on its citizens. No fewer than twenty-nine films we

42、re made around this theme in the years between 1970 and 1977, including Survivors and Chronicle.In the opinion of this reviewer, until Star Wars was released in 1977, science fiction films were reduced to shallow symbolism disguising to a greater or lesser degree a series of repetitive plots. But St

43、ar Wars was different. It offered us a return to imaginative voyages in space and confrontation with intelligent life on other planets. Unlike the other science fiction films of the decade, Star Wars presented technology as having solved rather than aggravated ecological problems. The special effect

44、s created to simulate space vehicles traveling very fast through the blackness of the universe were similar to the artistic standards set by 2001.（分数：5.00）(1).Which of the following statements is true? A. 2001: A Space Odyssey imposed a great influence on most of the science fiction movies of the 19

45、70s. B. 2001 was better than most of the science fiction movies of the 1970s. C. A few of the science fiction movies of the 1970s were found sadly imperfect compared with 2001. D. 2001 set new standards for all kinds of movies.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).In the authors opinion, 2001 was appealing because _

46、. A. Kubrick had a lot of money to direct this movie B. the musical score was adapted mainly from classical compositions C. visual effects were almost kaleidoscopic D. the director utilized relatively inexpensive means like artistically combining spectacular camera work with classic music（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the third paragraph, the theme of science fiction films after 2001 was mainly around _. A. adventures of space travel B. intelligent life on other planets C. ecological problems on earth D. problems crea
