18．Your next Disney obsession has arrived!Zootopia （瘋狂動(dòng)物城）hit theaters on March 4，and it's fun at the movies for the entire family．If you're in the mood to smile，Zootopia is the movie for you．The new Disney movie （25）was released （release） on March 4，starring Jason Bateman，Ginnifer Goodwin，Idris Elba and more．Critics are obsessed （26）with Zootopia--Check out （27）what the critics are saying about Zootopia now!
---Zootopia is the best Disney animated film that I have seen in a long time．This is a movie that works for everyone．（28）It doesn't matter whether you're 4years old or 40years old．
---I love the characters．They do such a great job of building up Judy Hopps（兔子朱迪） from the moment she comes on screen and I think I will remember her as one of my favorite Disney characters．
---Zootopia is smart，funny，and is mature in its storytelling and in its message．It's very nice to see a movie directed at kids that has respect and treats kids as people who（29）can understand complex themes，not mindless creatures that need simple cliched（刻板的） messages．
---I predict that Zootopia will be one of the （30）best-known （well-known） animated films of the following years．The film does what every animated film should do； it tells a solid story with a lot of emotional depth，and a message that can hopefully teach kids important lessons．The film is also funny，smart，beautifully animated，（31）filled （fill） with great characters，and features great voice work．If you have kids，and they（32）haven't seen （not see） this film yet，it's safe to say they'd enjoy it，but they may possibly take an important life lesson away from seeing it too．

8．Books are typically written first，then narrated （朗讀） for audio （有聲） books．Until now．Audible，the largest company of audio books，has begun asking well-known writers to create works specifically for audio，instead of inviting people to narrate already existing print books．It's a new chapter for the book industry．
    Audible now has about 30 totally new audio works in production．And it turns out that audio books，which have long been regarded as less important than e-books，have actually been doing quite well．They are a $1，000，000，000 industry，with more than 35，000 titles published in 2013alone．
    What promotes that progress is not only an evolution of technology，but more importantly，the rise of the celebrity （名人） narrator．Narrators are key to the success of an audio book and these days，producers are signing on more and more celebrities．Celebrities'narration is like a private performance to customers，who get a feeling of closeness in listening to their voices．Many of the customers buy audio books based on the narrator．They will listen to anything a specific actor or actress reads．
That is why Audible is taking the risk of not producing print books at all but starting totally new audio works．There's another reason why the company is expecting its risk-taking action to pay off：humans have been telling stories since the beginning of time．We are taking part in a little habit that goes back thousands and thousands of years-before the first mark was ever made on a stone．Long before writing，people were telling each other stories and the audio book goes all the way back to that tradition．As Peter Allen sang softly in the 1970s，everything old is new again．
32．The"new chapter"（Para.1）refers to a time ofA．
A．producing totally new audio works
B．starting audio companies
C．narrating print books for audio
D．creating electronic books
33．What does Paragraph 2 tell about audio books？D
A．Their difference from e-books．
B．Their previous production．
C．Their great importance．
D．Their bright future．
34．Customers like celebrities'narration becauseD．
A．celebrities help them understand the stories
B．celebrities have more attractive voices
C．celebrities have better narra ting skills
D．celebrities seem to be within their reach
35．Audible believes its risk-taking action will be rewarding becauseA．
A．the action agrees with the story-telling tradition
B．customers play an active role in the action
C．the company has spent a lot on the action
D．the action has lasted for a long time．
