上下文语境。下文内容经常为：同义解析、意思相反、或举例说明等。本文第三小题的下文属于具体的例子内容，根据该内容推理出其含义。 B Since 2016 , the Chinese government has taken measures to boost the country’s animation (动画) industry which has seen a rapid increase in productions and consumer demand. The introduction of the development plan for China’s animation industry in the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-15) lifted the industry to the central strategic level from 2012. It has since seen about 30 percent annual growth and is worth 100 billion yuan ($14.05 billion) today. A series of animations have been created during this period with some excellent examples being the Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, Boonie Bears, Kuiba and The Legend of Qin. However, the application of Hollywood and Japanese techniques and values to Chinese animation features has not only failed to increase box office returns but also compromised the Chinese characteristics. Luckily, China7s animation industry has learned a lesson from its failures and is trying to change its approach. Ne Zha, for example, has become the top-grossing film next only to Wolf Warrior 2. The reason why Ne Zha has been welcomed by Chinese audiences is that it has applied a range of traditional aesthetic elements, from Taoist, Peking Opera and Lunar New Year paintings to Chinese animation techniques. Actually, China’s animation movies are finding the right rhythm, achieving box office returns of about 60 billion yuan in the country. But despite Ne Zha breaking several box office records, China’s animation industry still faces many challenges. Ne Zha achieved almost unprecedented success because of the cooperation of more than 70 enterprises, indicating how decentralized (分散) China’s animation industry is. It also shows why the producers of The Monkey King: A Heroes Return and Big Fish& Begonia have not been able to make sequels (续集) of new animation films despite the relatively easy access to capital, and have sought foreign enterprises’ help to make new animation movies. There is still room for the Chinese animation industry to improve its filmmaking techniques and boost the country’s cultural industry including the animation industry and bring them to international level. 4. We can learn from the first paragraph that ________. A. the Chinese government has been taking action to improve the animation industry B. China’s animation industry hardly satisfies consumers’ expectations C. a series of excellent animations have been created from 2011 to 2015 D. China’s animation industry is growing over 30 percent annually 5. Which may lead to Ne Zha’s high box office? A. Application of Chinese animation features. B. Taking a new approach in view of the past failures. C. Application of Hollywood and Japanese techniques. D. Finding the right rhythm to achieve box office returns. 6. What’s the challenge that China’s animation industry is facing? A. The difficulty to access capital for the creation. B. The hard effort to seek foreign enterprises’ help. C. The situation of decentralized animation industry. D. The inability to make sequels for the previous ones. 7. What’s the authors attitude towards China’s animation industry? A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Neutral. D. Pessimistic. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了中国动漫产业的发展情况。中国政府一直在采取行动来完善动漫产业，而中国动漫产业面临的挑战是“分散动漫产业的现状”。 【4题详解】 段落大意题。根据第一段中“Since 2016, the Chinese government has taken measures to boost the country’s animation (动画) industry which has seen a rapid increase in productions and consumer demand. The introduction of the development plan for China’s animation industry in the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-15) lifted the industry to the central strategic level from 2012. It has since seen about 30 percent annual growth and is worth 100 billion yuan ( $ 14.05 billion) today.(自2016年以来，中国政府采取措施促进国内动漫产业的发展，动画制作和消费者需求迅速增长。中国“十二五”规划（2011- 2015年）出台了《中国动漫产业发展规划》，从2012年起将动漫产业提升到中央战略层面。自那以后，它的年增长率约为30%，目前的市值为1000亿元人民币（140.5亿美元）)”可知，从第一段可以看出，中国政府一直在采取行动来完善动漫产业。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The reason why Ne Zha has been welcomed by Chinese audiences is that it has applied a range of traditional aesthetic elements, from Taoist, Peking Opera and Lunar New Year paintings to Chinese animation techniques.(《哪吒之魔童降世》之所以受到中国观众的欢迎，是因为它运用了一系列传统美学元素，从道教、京剧、年画到中国动画技术)”可知，“运用中国动画特色”使哪吒的票房如此之高。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“But despite Ne Zha breaking several box office records, China’s animation industry still faces many challenges. Ne Zha achieved almost unprecedented success because of the cooperation of more than 70 enterprises, indicating how decentralized (分散) China’s animation industry is.(尽管《哪吒之魔童降世》打破了多项票房纪录，但中国动漫产业仍面临诸多挑战。在70多家企业的合作下，《哪吒之魔童降世》取得了前所未有的成功，说明中国动漫产业是多么的分散)”可知，中国动漫产业面临的挑战是“分散动漫产业的现状”。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“There is still room for the Chinese animation industry to improve its filmmaking techniques and boost the country’s cultural industry including the animation industry and bring them to international level.(中国动画产业仍然有空间来提高其电影制作技术，促进国家的文化产业，包括动画产业，并使他们达到国际水平)”可知，作者对中国动漫产业的态度是“积极的”。故选A。 C How does running a marathon and burning over 1, 000 calories per hour without even getting off your sofa completely sound? That’s exactly what BionicGym, an advanced wearable neuro-stimulator (神经刺激器), claims to help you achieve. Let’s be honest, we’ve all seen similar devices in sci-fi movies or teleshopping advertisements before, but they’re really not that effective. However, BionicGym creator Dr Louis Crowe says this product is truly revolutionary. Crowe says he came up with the idea for this unique neuro-stimulator over 16 years ago, when he would get into the cold Atlantic ocean so he could observe the effects of shivering (颤栗). He discovered that as he got colder he didn’t shiver faster, but he shivered at the same rate. He also found that this natural way of burning calories allowed a person to burn a lot of calories without actually doing any exercise. Crowe did more research on how to use shivering as an effective training and weight-loss tool, and developed BionicGym. He’s teamed up with Dr Barry Broderick to bring it to market. To do so, they need some funding to redesign the device. Then it has to be approved by regulators. BionicGym may be ready for sale by November this year. But people seem so impressed by the abilities of BionicGym to give them a workout while resting on a sofa that they seem to have no problem parting with $ 300 for the chance to one day try it out. Crowe’s crowdfunding campaign had a goal of $ 20, 000, but with 11 days to go, it’s already passed the $ 287. 000 mark. In a promotional video, Crowe presents a graph showing that used at top levels. BionicGym can burn around 1, 100 calories per hour, and get your heart rate up to around 180 bpm-beats per minute. Crowe warns that using the device at top levels makes for a very tough workout, requiring previous training. Beginners or older people can use it at lower levels and make their way up to the tougher programs. 8. Why does the author mention the question in Paragraph 1 ? A. To express his doubts. B. To introduce the topic of the text. C. To describe the benefits of running. D. To compare different calorie-burning ideas. 9. Where does Crowe’s inspiration for BionicGym come from? A. A sci-fi movie. B. His imagination. C. A teleshopping ad. D. His own experience.
