50、(2) 考查不定代詞all的用法。由關(guān)鍵詞語the main disney characters: mickey mouse, donald duck, snow white, and peter pan.可知，這里提到了4個(gè)主要角色，故選c。 (3) 考查-ing與-ed結(jié)尾的形容詞的辨析。形式主語it指代后面的句子it has been called a dream factory. 這是指物，所以用-ing結(jié)尾的形容詞surprising。 (4) 考查介詞的用法。on a farm是一個(gè)固定搭配，意為“在農(nóng)場(chǎng)”。 (5) 考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)。由關(guān)鍵詞語at the age of 16可知，這

51、里用一般過去時(shí)。 (6) 考查冠詞。此處的kansas city film ad company是專有名詞，而且是由普通名詞構(gòu)成的專有名詞，故前面要加定冠詞the。 (7) 考查連詞。根據(jù)句意，這里是因果關(guān)系，原因是“他決定在好萊塢制作卡通”，結(jié)果是“他動(dòng)身前往好萊塢”，所以答案是because。 (8) 考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。由關(guān)鍵詞make可知，此處考查make sb. do的固定搭配。 (9) 考查形容詞性物主代詞。句意：disney想把他的圖片帶到生活中。“他的”及his。 (10) 考查被動(dòng)語態(tài)。根據(jù)句意，很容易判斷出是被動(dòng)結(jié)構(gòu)。 (11) 考查固定搭配 a film called/named ，意為“一部名叫的電影”。 (12) 考查并列連詞。根據(jù)上下文，這里是并列關(guān)系，答案很明顯是and。 (13) 考查數(shù)詞。hundred前有具體數(shù)詞時(shí)，hundred后不加s 和of，當(dāng)hundred前沒有具體數(shù)詞時(shí)，其后要加s和of。故選a。
