【正文】 change of the music.（3）What does the underlined word subtle in the third paragraph mean? A.GentleB.WonderfulC.Not immediately obviousD.Not extremely attractive（4）What do we know about infrasound from the last paragraph? A.It can39。t be known to people.B.It makes audiences relaxed.C.It is within the range of the human ear.D.It will be used more in movies in the future.【答案】 （1）B（2）D（3）C（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，電影和音樂的關(guān)系密切，音樂對(duì)于電影影響重大，作者說明了電影制作者如何用音樂來渲染氣氛。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的But try watching them without the background music and you just might decide they39。re not so different after all.可知，但是試著在沒有背景音樂的情況下看它們，你可能會(huì)覺得它們并沒有什么不同。所以通過反向推理，要是有了背景音樂，恐怖電影和喜劇電影就截然不同了。故判斷出恐怖電影和喜劇電影的區(qū)別在于他們的背景音樂。故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的Using this knowledge, posers use sudden changes in film music speed to create fear among audiences.可知，利用這一知識(shí)，作曲家利用電影音樂速度的突然變化在觀眾中制造恐懼。所以音樂的突然變化會(huì)使觀眾恐懼。故選D。 （3）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第三段中的All that audiences are supposed to feel is a heightened sense of emotion—they shouldn39。t realize what39。s causing it. Only when the music is taken out of the film should audiences understand its effects.可知，觀眾應(yīng)該感受到的只是一種強(qiáng)烈的情感——他們不應(yīng)該意識(shí)到是什么導(dǎo)致了這種情感。只有當(dāng)音樂被從電影中刪除時(shí)，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(duì)subtle的解釋。故第三段加下劃線的subtle一詞是C選項(xiàng)“不明顯的”。故選C。 （4）考查細(xì)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(yù)測(cè)“我們將來會(huì)看到更多的電影會(huì)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(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 Nobel prize winners sometimes display as much uniqueness when deciding how to spend their prize money as they did on the work that won them the award in the first place. When Sir Paul Nurse won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2001, he decided to upgrade his motorbike. A fellow winner in 1993, Richard Roberts, installed a croquet lawn in front of his house. Austrian author Elfriede Jelinek, who won in 2004, said the prize meant financial independence. Lars Heikensten, executive director of the Nobel Foundation, said there were no obvious shopping trends among winners. I think it depends a lot on which country they e from, their personal finances... what kind of ines they have when they get the prize, he said. Real estate, however, is a popular option, at least among those willing to reveal what they spend the money on. Phillip Sharp, the American cowinner of the 1993 medicine prize, decided to splash out on a 100yearold Federal style house. I took that money and bought a little bit bigger house... It39。s a beautiful old place, he told AFP(法新社), adding that The money is a nice part of the process, but the important thing about the prize is the recognition. For winners of the peace prize the decision is often more clearcut, as the honor tends to go to politicians, organizations and activists who are under more public supervision. Many, like US President Barack Obama in 2009 and the European Union in 2012, donate to charities. Literature winners tend to be more private about how they use the money, but the choice is often equally straightforward. Even if Nobelwinning authors are quite well known, many of them will not have made much money from writing, said Anna Gunder, a Nobel literature expert at Uppsala University. While the prize might keep the wolf from the door for some years, giving them freedom to write, it can also briefly have the opposite effect. It really changes their careers… During the first year after they39。ve won they often write less, but they generally continue after a year or two, said Gunder.（1）From the passage, we learn that ______.
