Question

9．The Minions

These yellow creatures become a big hit for their cuteness of loving bananas，nonsense words and silly movements．When you watched Despicable Me （2010），did you predict the Minions would later become the main attraction？From background characters and then main characters，their success proves good animated creations can take on a life of their own spin-offs（續(xù)集）
The penguins

    The penguins were originally just sidekicks in Madagascar（2005）．But in 2008 they took leading roles in their own TV series，and in 2014 starred in the film Penguins of Madagascar．The penguins'wit，sarcasm and crafty composure not only adds attraction to the kid-friendly franchise，but also serves adult audiences well．So it's not surprising that they got their own movie．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要介紹了四個銀屏上深受觀眾喜愛的著名角色--小黃人，企鵝，小松鼠和穿靴子的貓．

解答 21．B．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二部分The penguins中的"but also serves adult audiences well．"可知，成年人可能更喜歡企鵝這個角色，故選B．
22．D．詞義猜測題．根據(jù)第二部分The penguins中的"But in 2008 they took leading roles in their own TV series，"但在2008他們在自己的電視劇中擔(dān)任主角，可知"sidekicks"應(yīng)與"leading roles"相對，意為"配角"，故選D．
23．C．推理判斷題．選項A錯在most，original；選項B不是所有的角色都cute；選項D中shared qualities無體現(xiàn)．故選C．

點評 本文是新聞報道類閱讀，主要考查細節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題．在做事實細節(jié)題時，首先根據(jù)題目要求迅速在文章里找出相應(yīng)的段落、句子或短語．認真比較選項和文中細節(jié)的區(qū)別，在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
