【答案解析】

1.B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章的第二段“The film was clever and funny in parts—but it got much wrong，Wozniak told Bloomberg reporter Emily Chang.”和第六段“Wozniak...described the film as‘entertainingif not completely real to life.”均可以確定B是正確的。其他三個選項都只是片面地說出了一點。

2.C。段落理解題。文章第三段“Wozniak was disappointed by the way the movie portrayed people that Steve Jobs had collaborated with and learned from in his early days as a business man.”句意：“令沃茲尼亞克感到失望的是電影對史蒂夫·喬布斯早年作為商人合作過并從他們身上學(xué)習(xí)的人們的描寫方式?！睆闹锌梢钥闯鯟最符合題意。

3.D。句義推測題。從下一段Wozniack soon responded to Kutcher's jab in a post he wrote on Gizmodo中可以看出Wozniack回應(yīng)了Kutcher的抨擊，可見D符合句意。A項與D項相反，故是錯誤的；B、C兩項意思相似，均為錯項。

4.A。詞義推測題。由句中的disingenuous and wrong statem ents可以判斷disingenuous是和wrong同屬于負(fù)面的陳述，選項中artful是“人工的，不真誠的”和disingenuous的意思吻合，故A正確；artless單純的；自然的；exact“精確的”和honest“誠實的”與并列詞wrong意思相悖，都是錯誤的。

5.B。觀點態(tài)度題。通讀全文可以知道，作者完全在轉(zhuǎn)述別人的觀點，沒有流露自己的態(tài)度，所以B正確。subjective主觀的；objective客觀的；sympathetic同情的；supportive支持的。

【長句分析】

1.Primarily，Wozniak was disappointed by the way the movie portrayed people that Steve Jobs had collaborated with and learned from in his early days as a business man.首先，令沃茲尼亞克感到失望的是電影對那些人的描寫方式，他們是史蒂夫·喬布斯在早年作為商人合作過并從他們身上學(xué)習(xí)的人。

這是個復(fù)合句。主句是Wozniak was disappointed by the way，后面是定語從句省略了關(guān)系副詞，that引導(dǎo)的定語從句修飾people。

2.Wozniak acknowledged the talent of actors in the film—including his own Hollywood doppleganger，Josh Gad—and described the film as“entertaining”，if not completely real to life.沃茲尼亞克肯定了影片中演員們的精彩演繹（包括扮演他自己的、面貌極相似的好萊塢演員——喬希·蓋德），并說雖然電影沒能完全還原真實的生活，它也是一部帶有“娛樂性”的電影。

這是個簡單句。句子的謂語是兩個并列的動詞acknowledged和described，帶了各自的賓語。including介詞短語和連詞if引導(dǎo)的省略結(jié)構(gòu)都作狀語。

【語法點撥】

When you make a movie about something that's real life you can never get[everything]right.

當(dāng)你制作一部關(guān)于現(xiàn)實生活的電影時，你無法永遠(yuǎn)保證（一切）正確。

When引導(dǎo)的是個時間狀語從句。連接詞when不僅引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句還可以引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。when用法小結(jié)：

（1）when可用來引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句，意為“當(dāng)……的時候”，從句的謂語動詞可以是延續(xù)性的，也可以是終止性的。如：

When the film ended，they went back.

When I lived there，I used to go to the seashore on Sundays.

（2）When常用于下列句式：when為并列連詞意為“就在這時”。

was doing sth....when...

was about to do...when...

was on the point of doing sth....when...

had done...when...

（3）when可以表“既然”。如：

How can I help them to understand when they won't listen to me？endprint
