問題詳情：

When “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” was first shown to the public last month, a group of excited animal activists gathered on Hollywood Boulevard. But they weren’t there to throw red paint on fur-coat-wearing film stars. Instead, one activist, dressed in a full-body monkey suit, had arrived with a sign praising the filmmakers: “Thanks for not using real apes (猿)!”

The creative team behind “Apes” used motion-capture (動作捕捉) technology to create digitalized animals, spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that I records an actor’s performance and later processes it with computer graphics to create a final image (影象). In this case, one of a realistic-looking ape.

Yet “Apes” is more exception than the rule. In fact, Hollywood has been hot on live animals lately. One nonprofit organization, which monitors the treatment or animals in filmed entertainment, is keeping tabs on more than 2,000 productions this year. Already, a number of films, including “Water for Elephants,” “The Hangover Part Ⅱ” and “Zookeeper,” have drawn the anger of activists who say the creatures acting in them haven’t been treated properly.

In some cases, it’s not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists worried; it’s the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns. And there are questions about the films made outside the States, which sometimes are not monitored as closely as productions filmed in the Sates.

【解析】

這是一篇新聞報道。短文報道了電影“猩球崛起”上個月首次與公眾見面。動物愛好者聚集在好萊塢前，感謝電影製作者，在電影拍攝時，沒有使用真的類人猿。現在的動物拍攝使用的是數字化人猿的創造技術，而一些電影的拍攝卻存在著虐地動物的現象，這讓一個非盈利的組織密切關注此事。但有些拍攝也是不能夠被監測到的。

細節理解題。根據第一段“Instead, one activist ,dressed in a full -body monkey suit ,had arrived with a sign praising the filmmakers:“Thanks for not using real apes”可知，相反，一名身穿全套猴服的活動人士來到現場，手裡拿著一塊牌子，稱讚電影製作人:“感謝你們不用真正的猿猴。所以動物保護者聚集在好萊塢大道是為了向電影製作者表示感謝。故選D項。

主旨大意題。根據第二段“The creative team behind "Apes" used motion-capture (動作捕捉) technology to create digitalized animals, spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that I records an actor’s performance and later processes it with computer graphics to create a final image (影象). ”可知，“人猿”背後的創作團隊利用動作捕捉技術創造數字化的動物，在記錄演員表演的技術上，花費數千萬美元，然後用電腦圖形處理，以產生最終的影像。由此可知，第二段主要是關於數字化人猿的創造。故選B項。

【26題詳解】

詞句猜測題。根據第三段劃線前的句子“One nonprofit organization, which monitors the treatment or animals in filmed entertainment”（一個非營利組織，*動物在電影*中的待遇）以及下文Already, a number of films, including "Water for Elephants," "The Hangover Part Ⅱ" and "Zookeeper," have drawn the anger of activists who say the creatures acting in them haven’t been treated properly.（許多電影,包括“大象的眼淚”,“宿醉Ⅱ”和“管理員”,引起了動物保護人士的憤怒，他們說影片中的動物沒有遭到很好的對待。）由此可知，其中一家*動物待遇的非營利組織，今年正密切關注著2000多部影片。由此判斷出，劃線詞的意思是“密切關注”。故選D項。

【27題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據最後一段In some cases, it’s not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists worried; it’s the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns. And there are questions about the films made outside the States, which sometimes are not monitored as closely as productions filmed in the Sates.”（在某些情況下，讓活動人士擔心的並不是電影棚裡對動物的待遇;讓人擔憂的是訓練和生活條件。還有一些關於在美國以外拍攝的電影的問題，這些電影有時不像在美國拍攝的電影那樣受到嚴密的*。）可知，在某些情況下，讓活動人士擔心的並不是工作室裡動物的待遇;令人擔憂的是訓練和生活條件。由此判斷出動物演員可能受到虐待。故選A項。
