Question

【题目】 Once again DC Comics and Warner Bros. have divided fans and critics over their latest superhero film.

There had been worrying news aboutJustice Leaguein the months before its release, with a lot of reshoots of scenes, a new director being brought in to finish the film after original director Zack Snyder’s tragic loss of his daughter and, of course, a lot of talk about Ben Affleck’s future in the role of Batman.

Some people are saying thatJustice Leagueis another big disappointment, that it could have been incredible and instead fails to really entertain. Others say that Warner Bros. have finally got it right and that the future for the League looks bright.

My opinion lies somewhere in the middle. The film was by no means a disappointment: it was exciting, funny and a lot of fun to watch. There’s something special about watching the heroes from your childhood brought to life on the big screen and maybe that is affecting my opinion.

However, I will say that a lot of work needs to be done if the producer wants to make a great success. Although the film was good, it was obvious which scenes had been reshot and how the characters had been changed. I also have to mention the several scenes in which the special effects were very badly done; these are the kinds of problems that you don’t expect to see in a film with such a big budget.

Another point to add is that it is good to see the producer making Superman slightly a brighter character and adding some jokes to the plot to keep things fun. But the producer must be careful not to make the mistake that another film producer—here, not mentioning the name—is coming very close to doing: turning all of the films into bright and colorful shows and losing a lot of seriously good stories.

In the end,Justice Leagueis not a perfect film but it is definitely not a terrible one. A lot of work is still to be done but I hope that DC does not completely lose its darker side.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了作者对《正义联盟》这部电影的看法。

【1】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“There had been worrying news aboutJustice Leaguein the months before its release, with a lot of reshoots of scenes, a new director being brought in to finish the film after original director Zack Snyder’s tragic loss of his daughter”可知，在《正义联盟》上映前的几个月里，一直有令人担忧的消息，原导演扎克·斯奈德因女儿离世而无法继续拍摄，所以一位新导演来继续拍摄，很多场景都进行了重新拍摄，由此可知，在上映之前，很多人都很担心《正义联盟》的质量，故B项正确。

【2】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“There’s something special about watching the heroes from your childhood brought to life on the big screen and maybe that is affecting my opinion.”可知，作者说在大银幕上看到童年时代的英雄们变得栩栩如生的感觉很特别，由此可知，作者认为《正义联盟》的特别之处是它能唤起童年的回忆，故D项正确。

【3】主旨大意题。根据第五段内容可知，本段主要介绍了《正义联盟》这部电影存在很多不足，比如重拍的场景很明显、角色的改变也有缺陷以及几个场景的特效很糟糕，同时指出如果制片人想取得巨大成功，还需要做很多工作，由此可知，作者在这一段主要表达他对这部电影的不足之处的看法，故A项正确。

【4】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But the producer must be careful not to make the mistake that another film producer—here, not mentioning the name—is coming very close to doing: turning all of the films into bright and colorful shows and losing a lot of seriously good stories.”可知，但制片人必须小心，不要和另一个制片人一样犯这种错误：把所有的电影都变成亮丽多彩的表演，而失去很多非常好的故事，由此可知作者提到另一个制片人就是提醒《正义联盟》的制片人不要犯同样的错误，故C项正确。
