The 3 Best Marvel Films-Ranked!

It seems that ranking films well is always a tough task.In the hearts of millions of fans,everyone has his own choice.Superhero films are even more so.Recently,The Guardian (卫报) has selected three of the most popular Marvel films.

No.3 Blade Ⅱ

This film continues the story of an earlier 1998’s Blade and is directed by Guillermo.The story once again concerns the mysterious daywalker,played by Wesley Snipes.It is an action film full of high technology and the fighting scenes Guillermo expresses are horribly exciting.Not a typical superhero film,in many ways,but a great one.

No.2 Black Panther

This superb film is an entertaining adventure,with a richer component of fantasy than the other Marvel films.The character of Black Panther is established as one of Marvel’s greatest heroes.It is a big hit across the board.It also employs Rachel Morrison who is MCU’s first woman cinematographer,a photographer who operates a movie camera.Marvel Studios’ president,Kevin Feige,has promised to get more women writers and directors on board.So far,the only Marvel female writer is Nicole Perlman for Guardians of the Galaxy.

No.1 Thor:Ragnarok

It is smart,visually exciting and perhaps above all,funny.And it’s funny in a way that only Marvel films can be.It suggests that to some degree comedy can be an important part of the drama.Taika Waititi was an inspired choice as director.Hemsworth plays the role of Thor and Cate Blanchett plays Hela,the goddess of death who also happens to be Thor’s half-sister.

难度:★★★☆

“Now I just don’t believe that.” Surely all of us,at some point,have watched a movie and thought:It’s simply badly researched,or,the makers must think we’re idiots.

The British newspaper The Daily Telegraph ran a humorous piece on unconvincing tech moments from some top movies.Let’s see what they are all about.

The Daily Telegraph writer Tom Chivers’ first example is from the end-of-the-world movie Independence Day,in which a character comes up with a virus which destroys Windows,the computer system the alien spacecraft uses.“It’s a good thing they didn’t have Norton Anti-virus,” jokes Chivers.

It’s just one case of a movie that takes a lot of license with its science.Another one Chivers mentions is from Star Wars,where glowing beams of light traveling through space look very impressive.But the problem is that in space there are no air particles for the light to reflect off.In reality,they’d be invisible,which wouldn’t look so cool on the big screen.

Chivers’ second piece of Star Wars nonsense is the sound the fighters make in the movies:“the bellow (咆哮) of an elephant mixed with a car driving on a wet road”.But sound needs a medium to travel through,like air.In space,there wouldn’t actually be any sound at all.

Few people would deny that the mind-bending Matrix films are made for great viewing,but for Chivers,the science in the movies is a little silly.

And finally,as Chivers points out,DNA is not replaceable.But this bit of elementary genetics passed the makers of the 2002 Bond film Die Another Day by.In the film the bad man has “gene therapy” to change his appearance and his DNA,which is completely impossible in our real world.

【语篇解读】外星人也用Windows?宇宙里能听到战斗机轰鸣?一起看电影里让人啼笑皆非的错误。

4.What does the passage mainly deal with?

A.Plots of some famous movies.

B.Characters in space movies.

C.Popularity of space movies.

D.Mistakes made in some movies.

答案D

解析主旨大意题。根据文章的第一段以及下文所举的几个例子可知,文章主要讲述了几部电影中出现的科技方面的错误。

5.What does the underlined word “they” refer to in the second paragraph?

A.The newspapers. 

B.Unconvincing tech moments.

C.Some top movies. 

D.Heroes in the movies.

答案B

解析代词指代题。根据前面的“The Daily Telegraph ran a humorous piece on unconvincing tech moments from some top movies.”可知,此处的they指的是“unconvincing tech moments”。

6.As there is no air particles in space,　　　. 

A.light looks very impressive

B.light seems like glowing beams

C.glowing beams cannot be seen

D.light can’t travel through space

答案C

解析推理判断题。根据“there are no air particles for the light to reflect off.”可知,没有空气粒子就无法反射光线,因此我们就看不到耀眼的光束。

7.What can we know from the sixth paragraph?

A.Most people like Matrix films.

B.Most people suspect the truth of Matrix films.

C.Few people enjoy viewing Matrix films.

D.Chivers thinks science is not acceptable.

答案A

解析推理判断题。根据“Few people would deny that the mind-bending Matrix films are made for great viewing”可知,既然很少有人怀疑这种电影好看,因此看得人肯定很多。
