Question

【题目】 American actor James Dean has been dead for 64 years. James Dean, who died at the age of 25 in September 1955, starred in just three movies before he died in a car accident. They are Rebel Without a Cause, East of Eden and Giant. Yet, he will star in a new movie about the Vietnam War thanks to digital technology ,which generates(产生) images of James Dean by computer.

The idea that one of the movies' most beloved former stars would be recreated digitally for a new film has been met with criticism(批评). Captain America actor Chris Evans called the plans to use Dean's image in the film disrespectful.

However, Mark Roesler, the chairman of CMG said, “Dean has more than 183,000 followers on Instagram, and that he is still important today. He was known as Hollywood's ‘rebel(叛逆)' who famously said 'if a man can bridge the gap(沟壑) between life and death, if he can live after he's dead, then maybe he is a great man.” Roesler added, “What was considered rebellious in the 50's is very different from what is rebellious today, and we feel confident that he would support this modern day act of rebellion.”

Anton Ernst, the film's director, said, “1 respect Dean's life and history. The movie is one of hope and love. There are still a lot of James Dean's fans worldwide and there would always be critics. All we can do is to tell a great story.” Ernst added, “The Dean family views this as his fourth movie, a movie he never got to make. We do not want to let his fans down.”

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。美国影星James Dean 1955年9月30日因车祸去世，年仅24岁。一生只主演过三部影片——《伊甸园之东》《无因的反叛》和《巨人传》。仅仅凭借3部影片，他在社交网站Ins上就有183,000名追随者。64年后利用数字技术通过计算机生成James Dean的图像，他将出演一部由Anton Ernst导演的全新的越战题材剧情片。

【1】细节理解题。第二段中的Captain America actor Chris Evans called the plans to use Dean's image in the film disrespectful. 《美国队长》的演员Chris Evans称在影片中使用Dean的形象是对死者的不敬。可知，Chris Evans出演的是Captain America，选项B切题，故选B。

【2】推理判断题。第三段中的What was considered rebellious in the 50's is very different from what is rebellious today, and we feel confident that he would support this modern day act of rebellion. 在50年代被认为的叛逆与今天的叛逆大相径庭，我们相信他会支持这种现代的叛逆行为。可知，Roesler认为在今天数字技术复原已经死去的人是一种叛逆，因其叛逆浪漫的形象而著称的James Dean会支持这一叛逆行为的，选项D：Roesler相信James Dean会支持数字技术，切题，故选D。

【3】主旨大意题。第一段中的Yet, he will star in a new movie about the Vietnam War thanks to digital technology. which generates(产生) images of James Dean by computer.然而，利用数字技术通过计算机生成James Dean的图像，他将主演一部关于越南战争的新电影。接着文章介绍了对这一计划的两种不同的看法，所以这就是文章的中心大意，其内容适合用作文章标题，选项A James Dean将出演新电影。切题，故选A。

【4】推理判断题。文章的最后一句The Dean family views this as his fourth movie, a movie he never got to make. Dean的家人认为这是他的第四部电影，一部他从未拍过的电影。可知，Dean的家人是希望Dean能够拍这部电影的，因为他英年早逝，无缘活到现在，所以家人对这部电影充满了期待，他们是感到欣慰。选项C欣慰，切题，故选C。

本题中的第4小题选项A和C在选择时容易产生困难。因为这是一道推理判断题，做题时要对涉及到这题的内容进行分析揣摩，文章说：Dean的家人认为这是他的第四部电影，一部他从未拍过的电影。Dean的家人的态度只是期待这部电影，因为Dean那么早去世，无法真身来参加这一电影，所以他们的感情是欣慰。而支持是要给予精神或物质的帮助，从文章内容看不出Dean的家人在电影筹备、拍摄等各方面有任何的对电影的帮助，所以他们的态度不是支持。
