2015年北京高考英语模拟试题及答案解析(2)

　　阅读理解

　　A

　　In order to help customers find what they want quickly, it’s important to keep the thousands of titles in the Main Street Movies store organized properly. This section of the Employee Handbook will tell you how to organize videos.

　　Each Main street Movies store has three main sections:

　　1. New Releases Wall.

　　2. Film library.

　　3. Video Games.

　　New Releases Wall. Almost 70 percent of movie rentals are new releases, and that is the first place where most customers go when they enter the store. The center section of shelves on this wall holds Hottest Hits. When new titles come into the store, place them on this wall in alphabetical order. The shelves beside Hottest Hits are called Recent Releases. The New Releases Wall, including the Hottest Hits and Recent Releases shelves, holds about 350 titles.

　　Film Library. The thousands of titles in the Film Library are organized into categories. The films within each category are displayed alphabetically. Here are the categories and their two-letter computer codes:

　　ACActionDRDramaHOHorror

　　CHChildren FAFamilyMUMusic

　　COComedyFLForeign LanguageSCSCIENCE Fiction

　　*Foreign Language titles include films that were originally made in a foreign language and films with foreign language subtitles. A sticker on the back of each box tells which type of film it is.

　　Video Game. All the video games in Main street Movies are arranged in alphabetical order. Although video games represent only a small percentage of our inventory(库存), they are stolen more often than any other type of goods in our store. Therefore, video games are never displayed on the shelves. Shelves in the Video Game section hold cardboard with pictures and information about each game. When a customer wants to rent a particular game, you then find the game from the locked case behind the counter.

　　56. Whom do you think this passage is most probably addressed to?

　　A.The readers in the store.

　　B.The manager of the store.

　　C.The customers in the store.

　　D.The salespersons of the store.

　　57. In which order are the new movies moved in the store?

　　A.From Hottest Hits to Film Library to Recent Releases.

　　B.From Film Library to Hottest Hits to Recent Releases.

　　C.From Recent Releases to Film Library to Hottest Hits.

　　D.From Hottest Hits to Recent Releases to Film Library.

　　58. Why can’t video games be seen on the shelves?

　　A.Because they’ve been sold out.

　　B.Because they’re in the storehouse.

　　C.Because they’re in a locked case behind the counter.

　　D.Because they represent a small percentage of the inventory.

　　59. How can a customer find a film with foreign language subtitles?

　　A. Check the computer.

　　B. Look at the back of the box.

　　C. Check the center section.

　　D. Watch a few minutes of the film.

　　B

　　Hearing Voices

　　Would you like to be an actor, but aren’t the right age or physical type for the part? Don’t give up: there may be a place for you in the world of voice-acting.

　　Twenty-year-old Rickey Collins brings Tucker Foley to like in the cartoon Danny Phantom. In addition to many appearances on television and in movies, Rickey is a voice-over actor, someone we hear but don’t see. Rickey has acted since he was 6, both on and off camera. After school, his grandmother-a manager and acting coach-helped his develop his skills by doing voice exercises and reading aloud.

　　Voice-over actors do many kinds of acting. They are the voices of cartoon characters on television, in movies and video games, and for communicating toys. In films, they replace the foreign language conversation with English version. They create crowd noises, make commercials, act in radio plays, and record telephone instructions and public announcements. They read books on tape and even record museum tours.

　　Like other actors, voice-over actors need to understand scripts, interpret characters, and breathe correctly. They have to master voice techniques, such as pacing, volume, and range. Sometimes they use their normal voices; other times they change their voices to create different characters or noises. Rickey receives his Danny Phantom scripts only a few days before he tapes each episode(集). He rites helpful notes on the script to guide himself on speaking his part.

　　Rickey practices, then tapes at the recording studio. He and the other cast members sit in a soundproof booth, acting out their characters as they read their lines into the microphones. “The cartoon gets created after we record the words, so we have to imagine everything in our mind,” days Rickey. Later, the recorded words, music, and sound effects are combined with the cartoon art to create the cartoon we enjoy on TV. Sound interesting? Maybe you can have a “voice” in acting after all!
