Yep, it really is that good.Set in a world populated by robots, Ewan McGregor plays Rodney Copperbottom, a young robot who leaves his small-town home to pursue his dream of becoming an inventor.But after arriving in Robot City, his hopes of getting a job at Bigweld Industries are destroyed when he learns the firm has been taken over by the evil Ratchet (Greg Kinnear).Egged on by his controlling mum, Madame Gasket (Jim Broadbent), Ratchet plans to reduce half of Robot Citys citizens to scrap metal by refusing to sell the spare parts they need to survive.Instead, he wants to make a fortune selling expensive upgrades that few can afford. As he says, “Why be you when you can be new?”Aided by a few misfit robots known as the Rustlesincluding Robin Williams as the cowardly (胆小的）Fender (“Im made of a metal called Afraidium”)Rodney must track down the firms founder, Bigweld (Mel Brooks), and convince him to save the city from Ratchets plans.The first thing thatll strike you about the movie is the thought thats gone into creating Robot City. Its a wondrous world full of mechanical marvels including wind-up cars and walking streetlamps.Also terrific are the special effects. This might be an animated movie but at times youll catch yourself thinking its really a live-action film.Of course, there have been plenty of animated movies that looked the part but were let down by a weak storyline (see Shark Tale, for example).But Robots grips (扣人心弦) right from the start thanks to a heart-warming and thoroughly engaging plot that never bores.My only complaints are with Williams who, as usual，has a one-in-10 success rate with his jokes. Also a letdown is a romantic subplot between Rodney and a shapely robot called Cappy (Halle Berry) that doesnt go anywhere.Complains aside, this is a mechanical marvel thatll have you bolted firmly to your seat.BEST QUOTE(引述): Fender: “Even though you had a discouraging day, just remember theres another one coming tomorrow.”BEST BIT: Check out those amazing images.WORST BIT: Robin Williams, character does an unfunny Britney Spears dance routine.IF YOU LIKEDIce Age, The Incredibles, Toy Story. YOULL LIKE THIS.1、This piece of writing is a _.Acommercial advertisementBfilm reviewCmovie posterDliterary essay2、The cast of Robots is made up of all the following actors or actresses EXCEPT _.AEwan McGregorBRobin WilliamsCBritney SpearsDHalle Berry3、What is Shark Tale an example of?AA great cast.BA poor plot.CSpecial effects.DClumsy animation.【参考答案】13、BCB 【由安徽省合肥市 2014 高考模拟题改编】 阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C 和 D) 中, 选出最佳选项。 Have you got some paper, a pair of scissors and, above all, a desire to decorate your house? Then, we have the perfect holiday artwork for you: Make Star Wars snowflakes (雪花). Remembered as a cherished form of work in classrooms before the holidays, paper snowflakes have drawn many peoples attention again. The designer, Anthony Herrera, just recently released his 2013 collection. “The Star Wars snowflake designs began as just doing designs of characters that I and my daughter wanted to make three years ago,“ Herrera told us in an email. “The second year I introduced vehicles, and this year I decided to push further by designing battle scenes.“ Sometimes, he feels a bit bored with his job. With each year, the designs have got more detailed and various, but the process of creating them remained the same: sketching figures on paper with a pencil until a symmetrical (对称）pattern comes out, then scanning the designs and cut them with scissors. However, he says he has plenty of ideas for new flakes next year, so no two will ever be the same. Hopefully with Star Wars: Episode VII coming in 2015 hell have even more work in the future. Check out your favorite finished versions of Herreras flakes (from both 2013 and previous years) and download the pictures beneath them and then get down to creating your own work. A warning: Most designs arent for the casual flake-maker, so patience you must have. 1. Making paper snowflakes draws many peoples attention probably because _.
