39、 likely to be a part of a (n) _. （ A） book review （ B） academic research paper （ C） editorial （ D） news report 88 Its tempting to call Adam Sandler a rebel. The comedian consistently flouts taste and decency in his movies, which can sometimes be a good thing. The only problem with this notion is tha

40、t rebels, at some point, usually break a sweat. Sandlers latest vehicle, “Thats My Boy“, is radical only in its extreme laziness. The actor plays Donny, a man trying to reconcile with his estranged son, Todd (Andy Sam-berg), whom he fathered with his middle-school teacher as a 13-year-old student. S

41、andler attempts to mine this disturbing event for comedy, but he also goes after some pretty low-hanging fruit: fat people, the elderly, immigrants, washed-up celebrities, and others. Its technique (to use the word in the loosest possible sense) is a blunt instrument. It wasnt, though writer David C

42、aspe gives no indication of the level of sparkling wit he is capable of (the crass sitcom “Happy Endings“, which he created). Donnys halting, seemingly improvised on-screen speech about lovein which he describes the emotion in such a way that it sounds like the symptoms of a venereal diseaseis one o

44、trademark accentan annoying hybrid of brain-damaged redneck and dirty old manhe packs enough painful screen presence for three people. Once again, Sandler shows himself to be a loyal friend, casting such pals as Nick Swardson and Peter Dante in tiny parts that drain all evidence of talent from the p

45、erformers. “Thats My Boy“ also features such has-beens as rapper Vanilla Ice, singer Tony Orlando, veejay Colin Quinn and actors Ian Ziering, Alan Thicke and Todd Bridges, along with fellow “SNL“, veterans Will Forte and Rachel Dratch, miscellaneous Sandler family relatives, vaguely familiar-looking

46、 former jocks and other assorted hangers-on from the comedians stand-up days. Sandlers Happy Madison production company is like a one-man employment agency for people who have no other reason to be on camera. Of that bunch, Vanilla Ice, playing a good-natured caricature of himself, turns in the funn

47、iest performance, although its far from professional. So is the movie itself funny? Some peopleincluding memanaged to appreciate a dumb joke or two. Sandler has his partisans, but the aggressive awfulness of “Thats My Boy“ seems calculated to test even their patience. As one disgruntled-sounding vie

48、wer muttered on the way out, “Sure, I laughed, but I didnt feel good about myself afterwards.“ From The Washington Post, June 15, 2012 89 What does the word “vehicle“ in the first paragraph mean? （ A） a car （ B） a tool to express someones feeling （ C） motivation （ D） none of the above 90 Which of th
