3、e many times I have been disappointed by a film of a book I love.So maybe highly regarded books do not always make good films.It is safe to say that great movies may be made from not particularly good books.The source material may be anything from classic novels,short stories,comic books and stage p
4、lays,as well as non-fiction such as biography and autobiography,even those written by ghostwriters.All can work well,but why do many adaptations and indeed remakes fail with both cinema audiences and critics? A key question is obviously how close to the original the film is.Since a typical film is o
5、nly around two hours long,it becomes a question of what to leave out,and how to script the dialogue.Sometimes there may be changes to the plot,additions and even different endings to please producers,directors and test audiences.I,like many people,have often left the cinema feeling “the film is not
6、like the book”. Another problem area is the cast.Whether suitable actors are found or not can mean the difference between success and failure.Readers of the book use their imaginations to visualise characters and have very definite ideas about how characters look and sound.This is where I think many
7、 film adaptations fall down.Sometimes authors are very involved in the process and many may even be the screenwriters.This can actually be a bad thing because they may be too close to the material and find it difficult to adapt.At other times they are not the screenwriters,and there are instances wh
8、ere writers have been very unhappy with the film versions of their work.Roald Dahl and Stephen King are examples of this.Even more extreme was novelist J.D.Salinger who made sure no film versions of his popular novels could ever be made.In this situation,it is clear viewers will not be disappointed.

12、。Once，when I was a teenager my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus.Finally there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.This family made a big impression on me.There were eight children，all probably under the age of twelve.You could tell they didnt have a

18、完成句子1.end up2.All too often3.If so4.turn to5.make a choice6.With that in mind二、阅读理解1.A 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句和最后一句可知,观众期望值太高,会导致电影很失败,由此推断,降低观众的期望值可能会使观众对改编后的电影感到满意。故选A项。2.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段第三句可知,文章提到了小说家塞林格,目的是为了证明一些作家反对将小说改编成电影的想法。故选D项。3.C 主旨大意题。通读全文内容可知,本文主要解释了为什么许多改编自书籍的电影最后失败了。故选C项。三、读后续写Seeing what was go
19、ing on，my dad seemed to have an idea.He put his hand into his pocket，pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground.(We were not wealthy in any sense of the world！) Then my father reached down，picked up the bill and tapped the man on the shoulder and said，“Excuse me，sir，this fell out of your poc

21、to me and my family.”That day my father and I went back to our carWe drove home without any tickets.The $20 that my dad gave away was what we were going to buy our own tickets with.Although we didnt get to see the circus that night，we both felt a joy inside us that was far greater than seeing the circus could ever provide.Its more blessed to give than to receive.Nothing can be truer than that.第8页（共8页）学科网（北京）股份有限公司
