文章梗概:
本文主要对007系列电影的方方面面进行了介绍。文章首先概括了邦德的地位,接着介绍了他的身世以及他成为优秀间谍的各方面条件。然后描述了邦德电影的起源和发展,介绍了邦德演员。此后谈到了邦德电影的必备元素。最后文章表明邦德在戏里戏外的受欢迎程度,并指出邦德对后期电影的影响。
答案解析:
1. 由题干关键词Agent 007定位至第二段最后一句As the seventh such agent, he was designated Agent 007. 由于邦德是第七位授权在执行任务时可以杀掉对手的特工,因此他被称为"特工007".故B)正确。
2. 由题干关键词disguises himself定位至第三段。该段提到邦德行动时采用化名,通常称自己为寰球出口公司的代表,因此A)正确。
3. 由题干关键词physically superior定位至第四段前两句。这两句大意是:邦德有运动员的天赋,受过武术训练,但是他并不仅仅依靠智慧和身体的优势,MI6的Q分支经常给他提供精良的设备,如炸药、枪支等。因此D)表述正确。
4. 由题干关键词first appearance on screen定位至第六段前两句。第一句主要介绍了邦德首次登上银幕的背景,第二句则指出其结果the pilot flopped and the series was never made. 由于小说《皇家赌场》改编的这次试播节目失败,该电视连续剧没有拍成。因此B)正确。
5. 由题干关键词Sean Connery和the description定位至第七段最后一句Connery's Bond was closer to the version depicted in Fleming's novels… 康纳利的邦德形象比较接近弗莱明小说中描写的人物。因此C)正确。
6. 由题干关键词Roger Moore定位至第九段第二句Moore's Bond is generally kinder… and this era gave birth to some of the more outlandish exploits, involving space stations, super lasers and other science fiction elements. 罗杰?摩尔的邦德更加亲切……而这一时期则产生了更多的神奇事迹,包含太空站、超级激光以及其他科幻小说元素。因此B)正确。
7. 由题干关键词new Bonds定位至第十二段第三句Like all other "new Bonds" before him, Craig's selection caused some controversy and angered some fans of the series. 像他之前其他所有的"新邦德"一样,克莱格出演邦德也引起了一些争议,也激怒了一些影迷。由此可知选项D)正确。
8. 由题干关键词most important element of Bond film定位至第十四段第二句The core of any Bond film is the fast-paced action. 任何邦德电影的核心都是快节奏的动作。而题干中的most import element可以看作core的解释,因此空格处应填入the fast-paced action.
9. 由题干关键词Bond Girls定位至倒数第四段, 再由attraction(可以看作是对邦女郎的总结——he inevitably finds himself attracted to her)和conquest (Bond usually wins the girl)具体定位到最后一句,根据句意和题干语法要求,空格处应把sometimes she betrays him and sometimes she dies改写为名词形式betrayal and death.
10. 由题干关键词imitated or took 007 elements定位至倒数第二段第一句Bond's popularity has inevitably led to imitation and parody.邦德如此受欢迎,不可避免会导致一些效仿和滑稽模仿。本题的陈述与句意基本相同,因此空格应填入Bond's popularity.
