1、6 Composer germsonLife as a Movie ExtraOrdinary people have always been attracted to the world of movies and movie stars. One way to get closer to this world is to become a movie extra. Although you have seen movie extras,you may not have paid attention to them. Extras are the people seated at table

2、s in a restaurant while the two main actors are in conversation. They are the guests at the wedding of the main characters. They are the people crossing the street while“ the bad guy” is being chased by the police. Extras dont normally speak any lines,but they help make the scenes look real1.Being a

3、 movie extra might seem like a lot of fun. You get to see what life is like behind the scenes. But dont forget that being an extra is really a job, and its mostly about doing nothing. First-time extras are often shocked to learn how slow the process of movie making is. In a finished movie,the action

4、 may move quickly. But it can sometimes take a whole day to shoot a scene that appears for just a few minutes on the screen.The main requirement for being an extra is the ability to wait. You may report to work at 5 or 6 a. m. , and then you wait until the director is ready for your scene. This coul

5、d take several hours. Then there may be technical problems, and you have to wait some more. After the director says “action” and you do the first “take” , you may have to do it again if he or she is not satisfied with the scene. In fact, you may have to do the same scene over and over again. You cou

6、ld be on the set for hours,sometimes waiting outdoors in very hot or cold weather2. You may not be nnished until 11 p. m. or midnight. The pay isnt good,either - often only a little bit above minimum wage. And you must pay the agent who gets you the job a commission of about 10 percent. So who would

7、 want to be a movie extra? In spite of the long hours and low pay, many people still apply for the job. Some people truly enjoy the work. They like being on a movie set, and they enjoy the companionship of their fellow extras. Most of them have flexible schedules, which allow them to be available3.

8、They may be students, waiters, homemakers, retired people, or unemployed actors. Some unemployed actors hope the work will help them get real acting jobs, but it doesnt happen often. Most people in the movie industry make a sharp distinction between extras and actors, so extras are not usually consi

9、dered for large parts.The next time you see a movie , dont just watch the stars. Take a closer look at the people in the background, and ask yourself ： Who are they? Why are they there? What else do they do in life? Maybe there is someone in the crowd who is just like you.練習：l. What is true about mo

It can be inferred from the pas

13、sage that .A） being a movie extra can be boringB） movie extras need acting experienceC） movie extras can play larger partsD） movie actors are quite different from actors答案與題解：1. B 本文的第三段詳細敘述了群眾演員的主要工作要求是在拍攝現場等，不用做事，所以答案為B；第一段中描述了群眾演員的工作；他們是演員的陪襯，不用講話。雖然提到他們是在餐館里，但并沒有提是硒可以喝飲料，所以D可以排除；A中的only一詞太籠統(tǒng)，所以A

14、不對；從第四段可以看出，從群眾演員到演員的轉型是相當困難的，所以C也不對。2 A 第二段中說明了令初做群眾演員感到吃驚的是：拍一個場景需要一整天，而播放時只有幾分鐘。雖然B、D都有所提及，但不是令他們吃驚的事情。3 C 雖然做群眾演員耗時長而薪酬低，但他們?yōu)槭裁催€選擇這一工作呢？答案在第四段：他們喜歡這份工作，愿意與別的群眾演員交流，他們自己的工作時間有彈性。A沒有提到，B、D不太可能。4 C 做群眾演員的條件是什么？在第三段和第四段，我們可知：要有耐心（長時間等待，一個場景有時要拍好多次），要肯吃苦（在惡劣的戶外環(huán)境中拍戲），報酬低，工作時間有彈性。A、B沒有提到；在第三段的第二句提到：Yo

15、u may report to work at 5 or 6 a. m.，表明只是有時會很早開始工作，不是每日必須的，所以D不對。5 A 從本文對群眾演員的工作描述我們可以看出，群眾演員只是演員的道具，所以是乏味的。B沒有提到；據第四段的最后一句，C不對；第四段的最后一句清楚表明，群眾演員和真正的演員差別很大，所以不是得出的推論，推論是通過字里行間推出來的，不是給出的陳述。參考譯文：群眾演員的人生人們常常被電影和電影演員吸引，接近他們的方式之一就是當群眾演員。雖然你見過群演員，但可能從沒注意過他們。群眾演員就是主角在餐廳對話時在后面坐著的人，是主角舉行婚禮時在現場的客人，是“壞人”被警察追捕的

16、時候過馬路的行人。雖然群眾演員通常沒有臺詞，但他們的存在使整個場景更真實。當群眾演員看上去很有意思，你可以看到電影背后的情景。但是不要忘記群眾演員是一個職業(yè)，而這個職業(yè)常常意味著無事可做。第一次當群眾演員的人常常會感到震驚：原來拍電影這么緩慢。電影成品中的場景會播放的很快，但在拍攝的時候，屏幕上幾分鐘的鏡頭可能需要拍一整天。對群眾演員來說，主要的要求就是要有耐心等待?？赡芨嬷阍绯课辶c鐘工作，但你要一直等導演準備好你要出演的一幕，可能一等就是幾個小時。說不定還會出現技術問題，那就要等更長的時間。導演說“開始”之后，你開始演你的第一場戲，要是導演不滿意，你就要重演一遍。實際上，一遍又一遍地重復

17、是常有的事。在拍攝現場，你可能一演就是幾個小時，有時還要一直待在很熱或很冷的環(huán)境中。工作可能會持續(xù)到晚上十一二點。報酬也不是那么理想很可能剛超過最低工資線，你還要從中拿出約lO%給向你提供工作的中介。究竟哪些人會想當群眾演員呢？雖然工作時間長而報酬又低，但還是有很多人樂意申請這份工作。有些人是真心喜歡這份工作，他們喜歡出現在電影中，也樂意同其他群眾演員交，流。這些人中大部分都是時間比較靈活的人，這樣他們就能騰出時間來演戲。他們有可能是學生、服務生、家庭主婦、退休人員或者是失業(yè)的演員。一部分找不到工作的演員希望群眾演員的工作能夠幫助他們找到一份正式的演出工作，但是希望很渺茫。電影業(yè)里的人大都對群

18、眾演員和正式演員有嚴格的區(qū)分，通常不會考慮讓群眾演員出演大角色。下次看電影的時候，別總是盯著影星，也看一下做背景的人，問問你自己：他們是誰？什么在這里？在生活中他們做些什么呢？也許在人群中，就有人過著跟你相似的生活。Going Her Own WayWhen she was twelve, Maria made her first important decision about the course of her life. She decided that she wanted to continue her education. Most girls from middle-class

19、farmlies chose to stay home after primary school, though some attended private Catholic “finishing” schools. There they leamed a little about music, art, needlework, and how to make polite conversation. This was not the sort of education that interested Maria - or her mother. By this time, she had b

20、egun to take her studies more seriously. She read constantly and brought her books everywlvhere. One time she even brought her math book to the theater and tried to study in the dark.Maria knew that she wanted to go on learning in a serious way. That meant attending the public high school, something

21、 that very few girls did. In Italy at the time, there were two types of high schools： the “classical” schools and the “technical” schools. In the classical schools, the students followed a very traditional program of studies, with courses in Latin and Greek language and literature, and Italian liter

22、ature and history1. The few girls who continued studying after primary school usually chose these schools.Maria, however, wanted to attend a technical school. The technical schools were more modem than the classical schools and they offered courses in modem languages, mathematics, science, and accou

23、nting2. Most people - including Marias father - believed that girls would never be able to understand these subjects. Furthermore, they did not think it was proper for girls to study them.Maria did not care if it was proper or not. Math and science were the subjects that interested her most. But bef

24、ore she could sign up for the technical school, she had to win her fathers approval. She finally did, with her mothers help, though for many years after, there was tension in the family. Marias father continued to oppose her plans, while her mother helped her.In 1883 , at age thirteen, Maria entered

25、 the “Regia Scuola Tecnica Vlichelangelo Buonarroti” in Rome. Her experience at this school is difficult for us to imagine. Though the courses included modem subjects, the teaching methods were very traditional. Leaming consisted of memorizing long lists of facts and repeating them back to the teach

26、er. Students were not supposed to ask questions or think for themselves in any way. Teachers were very demanding, discipline in the classroom was strict, and punishment was severe for those who failed to achieve or were disobedient.練習：1. Maria wanted to attend .A） private “finishing” school B） schoo

27、l with Latin and GreekC） technical high school D） school for art and music2. In those days, most Italian girls .A） went to classical schools B） went to “finishing” schoolsC） did not go to high school D） went to technical schools3. You can infer from this passage that .A） girls usually attended priva

28、te primary schools B） only boys usually attended technical schoolsC） girls did not Iike going to school D） only girls attended classical schools4. Marias father probably .A） had very modern views about women B） had very traditional views about womenC） had no opinion about women D） thought women coul

29、d not leam Latin5. High school teachers in ltaly in those days were .A） very modem B） very intelligentC） quite scientific D） quite strict答案與題解：1C 本題的問題是：Maria想去個怎樣的學校？由文中第三段可明確得出結論?！癕aria，however, wanted to attend a technical school.” A、B、D項均有明顯錯誤。2C 本題的問題是：在當時的意大利大多數女孩的選擇是什么？由文中第一段可知“Most girls fro

30、m middle-class families chose to stay home after primary school，”所以本題的正確答案為C。3B 本題為推理題，問題是：從全文可以得出什么樣的結論?A選項未提及。C選項錯誤，原文只說大多數女孩子都選擇待在家里，并未說她們都不喜歡讀書。D選項錯誤，原文只說就算是上學的話大多數女孩子也都選擇傳統(tǒng)學校，而并非只有女孩于才可以去。所以正確答案為B。4B 本題的問題是：Maria的父親對女性的態(tài)度是什么？由文中第三段倒數第二句“Most People - including Marias father - believed that girl

31、s would never be able to understand these subjects.”可以得出答案，父親和大多數人一樣都持傳統(tǒng)觀念。5D 本題的問題是：當時的意大利高中教師是怎樣的？從文中最后一段可以得出結砉論“Teachers were very demanding, discipline in the classroom was strict, and punishmentsevere for those who failed to achieve or were disobedient.”故正確答案為D。參考譯文：選擇她自己的路當她1 2歲的時候，瑪利亞做出了她人生道路

32、的第一個重要決定。她決定繼續(xù)讀書。對于大多數來自中產階級家庭的女孩子來說，小學畢業(yè)就都選擇待在家里，盡管有一曲參加了教會辦的女子精修學校。在那她們學習一些音樂、藝術、針線活，以及如何禮貌交談。這些并不是瑪利亞所感興趣的或者可以說也不是她媽媽感興趣的。此時，她對待學習更加認真。她不停地讀書，他走到哪里就把書帶到哪里。有一次她甚至把數學書帶到了劇院里，設法在黑暗中學習。瑪利亞知道她想要繼續(xù)正規(guī)學習。她想要到公立高中去學習，很少有女孩子這樣做。在當時的意大利，有兩種形式的高中，一種是“傳統(tǒng)”學校，另一種是“技術類”學校。在傳統(tǒng)學校中，學生們都依照一種非常傳統(tǒng)的教學方式學習，包含拉丁語、希臘語及文學課

33、，還有意大利的文學與歷史。極少數能繼續(xù)學習的女孩們也大多選擇這類學校。但是瑪利亞打算去技術類學校。技術類學校比傳統(tǒng)學校要現代得多，他們提供的課程有現代語言、數學、自然科學，以及會計學。包括瑪利亞父親在內的大部分人都認為，女孩子是不可能弄明白這些科目的。另外，他們也認為女孩子不適合學習這些?，斃麃啿⒉辉诤踹m合與否。數學和自然科學是她最感興趣的學科。但是在她報名之前她必須爭得她父親的同意。最后在她母親的幫助下她成功了，盡管過去很多年她的家庭關系依然很緊張。她的父親一直反對她的計劃，而她的母親卻幫助她。1883年，瑪利亞13歲的時候考取了羅馬的“Regia Scuola Tecnica Michelangelo Buonarroti”學校。她在這個學校的經歷對我們來說難以想象。盡管課程包括現代學科，而教學方式卻是十分傳統(tǒng)的。學習包括記憶長長的詞條和事件，然后向老師復述。學生們不會以任何的方式被提問或是自己思考。老師非?？量蹋n堂紀律十分嚴格，未達標準或者不守紀律的學生會被給予嚴厲的懲罰。
