.(分?jǐn)?shù)：1.00)acouplewhosoughthappinessinaforeigncountrysomewesternerskeenonlearningtheorientalculturethefunnyexperiencesofsomefilm-makingcrewinJapanpeoplewhoselivesgotdisruptedinanaliencultureV解析：［解析］根據(jù)第一段的內(nèi)容“"LostinTranslation"isafunny,bittersweetmoviethatusesculturaldislocationasametaphorforpeoplewhohavegottenlostintheirownlives?”可知，《迷失東京》中，文化錯位只是一個暗喻，這里指的是人在他們自己生活中的迷失，所以D項(xiàng)“在異域文化中人們自己的生活混亂了”符合題意。A項(xiàng)“一對夫婦在國外尋求幸?！保珺項(xiàng)“一些西方人熱衷于學(xué)習(xí)東方文化”，C項(xiàng)“一些電影工作人員在日本的有趣經(jīng)歷”，這三項(xiàng)和文中第一段內(nèi)容不符合。.Theboldfacedword"poignancy"inParagraph1isclosestinmeaningto .(分?jǐn)?shù)：1.00)happinessclarityclevernesssadnessV解析：［解析］poignancy的本意是“辛辣；強(qiáng)烈；尖銳；辛酸事"，在文中第一段“Inonlyhersecondfeature,Coppolahasmadeapoised,intelligentfilmthatnicelybalanceslaughswithapoignancyrarelyseeninAmericanmovies.”中的意思是“辛酸事”，所以D項(xiàng)sadness“悲哀”和poignancy的意思比較相近。A項(xiàng)“幸?！保珺項(xiàng)“清晰”，C項(xiàng)“聰明”，這三項(xiàng)顯然和poignancy的意思不相近。.Theword"grumpy"underlinedinParagraph2isclosestinmeaningto (.分?jǐn)?shù)：1.00)short-tempered Vsnippytestycranky解析：［解析］根據(jù)文中第二段段的內(nèi)容“BobHarris(Murray)isagrumpymoviestar”可知，他是一個壞脾氣的電影明星。選項(xiàng)中的A項(xiàng)為“脾氣壞的”符合文意。B項(xiàng)“急躁的”，C項(xiàng)“易怒的”，D項(xiàng)“古怪的”，這三項(xiàng)均不符合題意。.WhichofthefollowingisNOTtrueaboutBobHarris?(分?jǐn)?shù)：1.00)Heisabad-temperedmoviestar.Heissadbecauseofhisunhappymarriage.Heisabitslowasheisinamidlifecrisis.VHeisoneofCharlotte"sfriends.解析：［解析］根據(jù)第二段的內(nèi)容“BobHarris(Murray)isagrumpymoviestarintowntoshootawhiskeycommercial.Heisnotonlyplaguedbyjetlagandgloomoveradeterioratingmarriageofmanyyears,heisalsointhemidstofamidlifecrisisthatadmpenshisspiritsbutnothiswit.”可知，但這些糟糕的事情并沒有減損他的才智，所以C項(xiàng)“因?yàn)樗幵谥心晡C(jī)中，所以反應(yīng)有點(diǎn)遲鈍”不符合文意，本題選C。A項(xiàng)“他是一位壞脾氣的電影明星”，B項(xiàng)“他因?yàn)椴恍业幕橐霰容^悲傷”，D項(xiàng)“他是Charlotte的一個朋友”，這三項(xiàng)都符合文意。.Theword"pinpoint"underlinedinParagraph3isclosestinmeaningto

.(分?jǐn)?shù)：1.00)shefeelsalienatedfromherbusyhusbandVshefeelsunabletostandthehardshipsinJapanshehasbeenabandonedbyherhusbandshehashadarecurringnightmareaboutherdeath解析：［解析］根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容“Marriedtwoyears,shealreadyfeelslostintherelationship,unabletoparticipateinherhusband"scareerorpinpointwhatshewantsoutoflife?”可知，A項(xiàng)“Charlotte覺得她和忙碌丈夫之間的關(guān)系很疏遠(yuǎn)”是她感覺生活無望的原因，所以符合題意。項(xiàng)“她覺得不能承受日本的艱辛生活”，文中沒有提到；C項(xiàng)“她已經(jīng)被她丈夫拋棄了”，文中說和丈夫關(guān)系疏遠(yuǎn)，并沒說被丈夫拋棄；D項(xiàng)“她總是做關(guān)于她的死亡的惡夢”，這在文中沒有涉及相關(guān)內(nèi)容。.Thetwocharactersinthefilmcanbedescribedas .(分?jǐn)?shù)：1.00)exhaustedbuthappyenergeticbutindifferententhusiasticandromanticemotionallytiredandlonelyV解析：［解析］BobHarris和Charlotte是電影中的兩個角色，他們的婚姻狀況都是不理想的，在糟糕的婚姻關(guān)系中感到身心疲憊，他們的內(nèi)心深處是孤獨(dú)的。所以D項(xiàng)符合題意。A項(xiàng)“疲憊但是幸?！?，B項(xiàng)“精力充沛但是冷漠”，C項(xiàng)“熱情浪漫”，這顯然和文中對兩個人物的描述不符。.Theword"succumbed"underlinedinthelastParagraphrefersto .(分?jǐn)?shù)：1.00)submittoVobeyresigntruckle解析：［解析］根據(jù)文中最后一段的內(nèi)容“hassuccumbedinlarge,measuretoWesternculture”可知，已經(jīng)屈從了西方文化。選項(xiàng)中的A項(xiàng)為“遵從”符合文意。B項(xiàng)“遵守”，C項(xiàng)“辭職”，D項(xiàng)“討好”，這三項(xiàng)均不符合題意。.Itcanbelearnedthat"Tokyodream-pop"
