Hua【解析】1~4.（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段Thedifferencethistimeisthateverythingintheplay—theperformersandtheirsurroundings—willbeshownvirtually.（這次的不同之處在于，劇中的一切——演員和他們周?chē)沫h(huán)境——都將以虛擬的方式呈現(xiàn)）可知，對(duì)于劇中的人物和環(huán)境的呈現(xiàn)方式使得Dream區(qū)別于TheTempest。A．The

number

of

actors

and

actresses.男女演員的數(shù)量；B．The

surroundings

around

the

performers.表演者周?chē)沫h(huán)境；C．The

3

D

digital

image

it

chooses

to

show.它選擇顯示的3

D數(shù)字圖像；D．The

way

it

presents

everything

in

the

play.它在劇中表現(xiàn)一切的方式。故選D。

（2）主旨大意題。根據(jù)第三段Sevenactorswillperforminaspecially-builtstudioinPortsmouth，southernEngland，wearingmotion-capturesuits.Theywillbesurroundedbya360-degreecameraset，madeupof47cameraswitheverymovementalmostimmediatelypresenteddigitally，whichispresentedtoviewersonline.Withitsmuch-reducedcharacters，DreamisnotacompleteproductionofAMidsummerNight'sDream；rather，itisastoryinspiredbyit，focusingonPuckandthefairies.（七名演員將穿著動(dòng)作捕捉服，在英格蘭南部樸茨茅斯的一個(gè)專(zhuān)門(mén)建造的攝影棚里表演。他們將被一個(gè)由47臺(tái)攝像機(jī)組成的360度攝像機(jī)包圍，每一個(gè)動(dòng)作都幾乎立即以數(shù)字方式呈現(xiàn)，并在線呈現(xiàn)給觀眾?！吨傧囊怪畨?mèng)》的角色被大大刪減，因此《夢(mèng)》并不是一部完整的作品；相反，它是一個(gè)受其啟發(fā)的故事，主要講述帕克和仙女們的故事）可知，該段主要側(cè)重講述這部劇的制作過(guò)程。故選C。

（3）詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)劃線短語(yǔ)所在的句子Up

to

2，000

audience

members

for

each

performance

can

become

part

of

the

show

and

will

be

invited

to

guide

Puck

through

the

forest.Onscreen，the

chosen

audience

will

appear

as

a

cloud

of

tiny

fireflies

（螢火蟲(chóng)）.By

using

their

mouse

or

finger

on

the

screen

of

a

smart

device，they

will

be

able

to

move

their

firefly

across

the

screen，and

Puck

will

be

at

their

beck

and

call

to

go

through

the

virtual

space.（每場(chǎng)演出最多有2000名觀眾可以成為演出的一部分，并將被邀請(qǐng)引導(dǎo)帕克穿過(guò)森林。在屏幕上，被選中的觀眾將以一團(tuán)小螢火蟲(chóng)的形式出現(xiàn)。通過(guò)在智能設(shè)備的屏幕上使用鼠標(biāo)或手指，他們將能夠在屏幕上移動(dòng)他們的螢火蟲(chóng)，而Puck將聽(tīng)命于他們的命令，通過(guò)虛擬空間。）可知，觀眾通過(guò)使用鼠標(biāo)或手指在智能設(shè)備的屏幕上移動(dòng)螢火蟲(chóng)，而Puck會(huì)隨時(shí)待命，即跟隨它們的指引，通過(guò)虛擬空間。故劃線詞意思是"準(zhǔn)備好服從他們的命令"。A．Be

willing

to

guide

them.愿意引導(dǎo)他們；B．Be

likely

to

receive

a

call.可能會(huì)接到電話；C．Be

difficult

to

control.難以控制；D．Be

ready

to

follow

their

order.準(zhǔn)備好服從他們的命令。故選D。

（4）推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段"Withoutthefireflies—theaudiences—Puckwouldn'tbegoinganywhere，"saidE.M.Williamswhoplaystherole."Theaudiencesareverymuchthefuelandtheenergyoftheshow."（"沒(méi)有螢火蟲(chóng)——沒(méi)有觀眾——Puck哪兒也去不了，"扮演Puck的E.M.威廉姆斯說(shuō)。"觀眾是這部劇的燃料和能量。"）可知，沒(méi)有觀眾所扮演的螢火蟲(chóng)的指引，這部劇的主角Puck哪兒也去不了。觀眾就是這部劇的"燃料"和"能量"。由此推知，E.M.Williams強(qiáng)調(diào)了觀眾的重要性。故選C。

這篇文章主要介紹了皇家莎士比亞劇團(tuán)最新的戲劇作品《夢(mèng)》。這個(gè)50分鐘的在線制作將現(xiàn)場(chǎng)表演與動(dòng)作捕捉技術(shù)、3

D圖形和互動(dòng)游戲技術(shù)相結(jié)合，讓觀眾可以遠(yuǎn)程引導(dǎo)主角帕克穿越虛擬森林。劇團(tuán)使用了高科技的仙境元素，將這個(gè)戲劇帶到了我們的屏幕上。這次的區(qū)別在于，劇中的一切，包括演員和他們的環(huán)境，都將以虛擬的形式呈現(xiàn)。每場(chǎng)演出有最多2000名觀眾可以參與，并被邀請(qǐng)引導(dǎo)帕克穿越森林。觀眾在屏幕上以微小的螢火蟲(chóng)形式出現(xiàn)，并通過(guò)智能設(shè)備上的鼠標(biāo)或手指控制它們?cè)谄聊簧弦苿?dòng)，帕克將按照他們的指示在虛擬空間中行動(dòng)。對(duì)于在家觀看的觀眾來(lái)說(shuō)，通過(guò)數(shù)字森林中移動(dòng)的虛擬仙子更像是一個(gè)視頻游戲，而不是一場(chǎng)普通的皇家莎士比亞劇團(tuán)的演出。但是演出是實(shí)時(shí)直播的，每個(gè)晚上的表演都是獨(dú)一無(wú)二的。演員E.M.威廉姆斯表示："沒(méi)有觀眾，帕克就無(wú)法前進(jìn)。觀眾是這個(gè)演出的動(dòng)力和能量。"

做這類(lèi)題材閱讀理解時(shí)要求考生對(duì)文章通讀一遍，做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語(yǔ)句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案。5~8.（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段It

listing

similarities.通過(guò)列舉相似點(diǎn)；C.By

giving

（3）推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段When

water

evaporates

from

the

sea，it

bears

a

load

of

salt.When

the

salt

water

bonds

with

tend

to

be

bigger

and

heavier

than

those

that

form

that

results

in

more

of

up

and

form

ice

crystals.（當(dāng)海水蒸發(fā)時(shí)，它含有大量的鹽。當(dāng)鹽水與氣溶膠結(jié)合形成水滴時(shí)，它們往往比陸地上由于鹽形成的水滴更大更重這導(dǎo)致云中更多的水在上升并形成冰晶之前以雨的形式降落。）可知陸地上的水滴不同于海上的水滴，它們更小更輕。故選D。
