三、讀后續(xù)寫

閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)

成一篇完整的短文。

一、完成句子

1.endup

2.Alltoooften

3.Ifso

4.turnto

5.makeachoice

6.Withthatinmind

二、閱讀理解

1.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第一句和最后一句可知,觀眾期望值太

高,會導(dǎo)致電影很失敗，由此推斷，降低觀眾的期望值可能會使觀眾對

改編后的電影感到滿意。故選A項。

2.D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段第三句可知,文章提到了小說家塞林

格，目的是為了證明一些作家反對將小說改編成電影的想法。故選D

項。

3.C主旨大意題。通讀全文內(nèi)容可知,本文主要解釋了為什么許多改

編自書籍的電影最后失敗了。故選C項。

三、讀后續(xù)寫
