Step I: Pre-reading

Did you see the Star Wars film series?

If so, what appeals to you most about the movie?

Step II: Reading

Read the article and choose the best answer:

1. Which of the following is TRUE about the Star Wars film series?

B. The film series has been popular in the west for over 40 years.

3. What can we take from Corliss’s words in the last two paragraphs?

A. He is in favor of the idea of making sequels to every hit movie.

B. The story of the Lord of the Rings trilogy is inspired by Star Wars.

C. Star Wars inspired other directors to add special effects and make movie sequels.

4. What’s the article mainly about?

A. The Star Wars Celebration in the west.

B. The impact of Star Wars on the west.

C. How Lucas made Star Wars so successful.

D. Special effects used in the Star Wars series.

Answers:

1. D。从倒数第二段可知，在《星球大战》上映之前，好莱坞电影没有特效。所以可以说该影片开创了电影特效的先河，所以D项正确。从第二段可知Lucas已经把《星球大战》故事的版权卖给了迪斯尼公司，迪斯尼打算在几年的时间内制作出三部相关的电影，所以A有误。倒数第二段提到，《星球大战》于1977年首映，到现在不过35年的时间，所以B不对。第四段里提到“Jedi”是一群人的称呼，不是一个人的，排除C。

2. B。从第三段的“because of its impact on popular culture”，第五段的“Star Wars’ presence is even felt in the English language”和第六段的“Star Wars has redefined modern movies”可以判断a、b、c为正确答案。第四段提到了“In the 2001 survey for England and Wales, over 390,000 people answered “Jedi” to the question of what religion they were.”，这说明了星球大战的受欢迎程度，但并不等同于一个新的信仰开始在全世界盛行，所以d项不对。

3. C。从倒数两段可以得此答案。从最后一段的“the not-so-grand idea of making a sequel”可知，Corliss觉得拍续集这个想法不怎么样，A不对。由最后一段可知《星球大战》的特效对于后来的《指环王》的制作有启迪作用，所以B项的 The story不对；D项the first epic movie文中没有体现。

4. B。全文主要谈论的是电影《星球大战》对西方社会的影响。

Step III: Language study

1. While Harry Potter features the maturing of a boy wizard as he fights against dark forces, the Star Wars film series follows another young man on his quest (征程) to destroy evil.

本句中while用作连词，意思是“而，然而”，表示《哈利·波特》与《星球大战》两部电影在内容上的对比，并含有轻微的转折意味。

2. The film series has become the talk of the town since George Lucas, the movie’s creator and director, sold the story to Disney for a huge $4 billion (24.98 billion yuan) in early November.

the talk of the town：街谈巷议的话题。

3. The early computers were too massive and expensive to be of much utility (功用) to movie makers... The innovations (创新) of Lucas and his team set a new standard, which many have followed has copied and built upon.

too… to… 太……而不能；which 引导非限制性定语从句，which指代它前面的整句话。

4. This (Star Wars) opened the door for grand (伟大的) schemes like the Lord of the Rings trilogy (三部曲), and for the not-so-grand idea of making a sequel (续集) to nearly every mega (精彩的) hit movie.

open the door for：导致；使……成为可能；为……提供机会或方便。

Animals of the future (P5)

C. The number of the black lion tamarin has decreased sharply since 1970.

D. The body of Venus’s flower basket is like a red-hot furnace, which enables it to grow a glass structure.

Answers:

1. C。由第一段和第二段的最后一句话可知这里提到电影《2012》只要是为了让读者思考，如果世界末日真正来临的时候，什么动物会得救，所以答案为C。

2. B。由第四段的“and instead chose 10 lesser-known creatures facing extinction”以及第六段的“But there are many other extraordinary creatures not in the limelight (众人的关注). These few give a glimpse of the outstanding diversity of nature.”可知a, b, e 项正确，所以答案为B。

3. D。由第九段的“It is a very remarkable frog because the male gives birth to its young. It does so out of its mouth. He takes the eggs into his vocal sac where they develop into baby frogs”可知D项正确。

4. B。由第八段的“However, water pollution in the areas where they live is threatening these animals.”以及第10段的“The layer of ash is drying out and killing the vegetation that the frog relies on, which is pushing Darwin’s frog to the edge of extinction.”可知，洞螈和达尔文蛙濒临灭绝的原因都是因为栖息地受到破坏，所以B项正确。由第八段“olms can survive for up to 10 years without food and live for up to 100 years”可知A项的30 years不对；由第五段“There are just 1,000 of these animals left and they were thought to be extinct until a small population was found in a forest near Sao Paulo in 1970.”可知，黑狮揟曾一度被认为已经灭绝，直到人们1970年重新发现了他们，所以C项所述与文中不符；由倒数第二段的“The sponge grows its glass structures and does not need a red hot furnace that human glass makers use.”可知D项的“The body of Venus’s flower basket is like a red-hot furnace”不对。
