Only when the music is taken out of the film should audiences understand its effects.可知,觀眾應該感受到的只是一種強烈的情感——他們不應該意識到是什么導致了這種情感。只有當音樂被從電影中刪除時,觀眾才能理解它的影響。所以這段在解釋最好的電影音樂是不易被觀眾察覺的音樂。也就是對subtle的解釋。故第三段加下劃線的subtle一詞是C選項“不明顯的”。故選C。 (4)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的but he predicted that we will see more of it used in movies in the future可知,但他預測“我們將來會看到更多的電影會使用它”。所以從最后一段可知,infrasound將在未來的電影中被更多地使用。故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解,詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查,是一篇文化類閱讀,考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息,同時根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進行分析,推理,從而選出正確答案。8.閱讀理解 Looking to have a rest after the working days?Check out to see if the following events are in your area!Northside FestivalDescription: The music festival consists of artists, such as Sidney Gish and Orion Sun, free cake for everyone!

The role of corporate culture is to improve a pany39。s mission and strategies, with longterm hopes of improvements in a pany39。s profit. Mostly corporate culture es from a pany39。s top management.
