2014届高考英语一轮复习单元阶段通关训练1

　　C．The end of the affair comes to a cruel but satisfying end as people expected.

　　D．Li is unwilling to keep the gun the landlady bought for “killing her husband later”．

　　解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第二段的内容“...the affair will come to a cruel but satisfying end...or so he thinks，but the equally wicked (顽皮的) Zhang has an agenda of his own that will lead to even more violence.”可知，电影的结尾与人们所预料的不一致。

　　67．The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means ________.

　　A．submits

　　B．occurs

　　C．happens

　　D．exists

　　解析：选A。词义猜测题。上文提到电影内容以及电影结局与人们的构想和思考是不一致的。故此处的surrender 是表示“屈服”之意。与submit一致。

　　Oscar-Bait.Noun.Definition: The term given to many late-year films with (supposed) A-list actors，all clamoring for attention by critics and voters in various organizations.

　　Here，I’ll use it in a sentence: “Rabbit Hole”，starring Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart and populated with many other actors all grieving about (因为……而困惑)their own issues，is Oscar-bait.

　　Based on the play and screenplay written by David Lindsay-Abaire，the film is about the aforementioned actors playing a married couple who are struggling，after eight months，to cope with the loss of their only child.Kidman rejects traditional means of therapy，family and support groups，in favor or handling things on her own.Eckhart is trying to be accommodating but is doing better at transitioning through the grieving process and is finding it harder and harder to connect with her.
