7.The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean,so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other forever.He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him.
The next morning he said to the men,"Have you provided me with that sunset?"
"No,sir,"the men answered.
The director was angry."Why not?"he asked.
"Well,sir,"one of the men answered,"we're on the east coast here,and the sun sets in the west.We can get you a sunrise over the sea,if necessary,but not a sunset."
"But I want a sunset!"the director shouted."Go to the airport,take the next flight to the west coast,and get one."
But then a young secretary had an idea."Why don't you photograph a sunrise,"she suggested,"and then play it backwards?Then it'll look like a sunset."
"That's a very good idea!"the director said.Then he turned to the camera crew and said,"Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea."
The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay.Then at nine o'clock they took it to the director."Here it is,sir,"they said,and gave it to him.He was very pleased.
They all went into the studio."All right,"the director explained,"now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye.Run the film backwards so that we can see the‘sunset'behind them."
The"sunset"began,but after a quarter of a minute,the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.

分析 短文主要講了一組劇組去海邊拍電影,但發(fā)現(xiàn)去的是東海岸,沒法拍日落,最后秘書想出一個辦法,但還是不像想象中那樣美.
解答 24.C,細節(jié)理解題,根據文章第五段中的"we're on the east coast here,and the sun sets in the west.We can get you a sunrise over the sea,if necessary,but not a sunset."可知,導演想要拍的是日落,就改變了主意,因此C選項的意思與之相符.
25.A,推理判斷題,根據文章中第一段的內容The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean,so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other forever,可知導演要拍攝日落主要是想為這對情侶在道別的時候創(chuàng)設一個優(yōu)美浪漫的情景,故不難推斷A選項的意思與之相符.
26.B,細節(jié)理解題,根據文章的最后一句"The birds in the film were flying backwards,and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach",可知他看到電影里的東西都往后移動,故選B.
27.D,推理判斷題,根據句子They all went into the studio."All right,"the director explained,"now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye.Run the film backwards so that we can see the‘sunset'behind them可知,日落是拍好了的,因此D項不符合.
