Conversation Two W: Are you watching any good shows these days? M: Actually, yes. I’m watching a great satire called Frankie. I think you’d like it. W: Really? What’s it about? M: It’s about a real guy named Frankie. He is a famous comedian in New York and shows a mixture of comedy and drama loosely depicting his life. W: I’m sorry, do you mean to say, it’s a real-life series about a real person? It’s non-fiction, is it? M: No... Not really, no. It’s fiction, as what happens in every episode is made up. However, the lead role is a comedian by the name of Frankie, and he plays himself. So Frankie, in both real life and in the TV show, lives in New York City. He’s a comic, is divorced, and has two little daughters. All those things are true, but aside from him, all his friends and family are played by actors. And the plots and the events that take place are also invented. W: Oh, I think I see now. That sounds like a very original concept. M: Yes, it is. [6] In fact, the whole show is written, directed, edited and produced by him, [5] and is very funny and has won many awards. W: That’s cool. [7] I will try to download it. I’m watching a comedy called The Big Bang Theory. It’s a huge hit around the world. M: Oh yes. I’ve heard of it, but never actually watched it. W: Well, then you should check it out. It’s also very funny. It’s about four male scientists and a female waitress. The men are very socially awkward but very bright. And this is contrasted by the lady’s social skills and common sense. [8] The show has been running for over ten years, and some of the actors are practically global super stars. Now that they are such famous celebrities.
5. What does the man think of the satire Frankie he recently watched? 【试题答案】B 【试题解析】题目问男士对其最近看的《弗兰基》有什么看法？男士提到《弗兰基》是纽约著名喜剧演员弗兰基自导自制的一部讽刺剧，男士认为它非常有趣（funny），B选项中的enjoyable“有趣的”是其同义替换，因此正确。A选项“有教育意义的”在录音中没有提及；C选项“由戏剧改编而来”错误，男士说的是喜剧和戏剧相结合来描绘纽约著名喜剧演员的弗兰基的生活，是虚构的，而不是改编的，因此不正确；弗兰基在现实生活和电视节目中都生活在纽约，因此D选项“脱离现实生活”也不正确。 6. What does the man say is special about the satire Frankie? 【试题答案】D 【试题解析】题目问关于《弗兰基》的特别之处，男士说了什么？女士说这部剧听起来是原创的，男士表示同意后，接着说到整部剧都是由弗兰基编剧、导演、剪辑、制作的，因此D选项是录音的复述，所以正确。A选项“所有的角色都是由著名演员扮演的”错误，录音中提到著名演员扮演的剧是《生活大爆炸》而不是《弗兰基》；B选项“其情节和故事大量揭密了弗兰基的真实生活”错误，男士说到《弗兰基》的情节和故事都是虚构的 （the plots and the events... are also invented）；因此，C选项“它基于几个名人的真实生活”也不正确。 7. What does the woman say she is going to do with the satire Frankie? 【试题答案】C 【试题解析】题目问对于《弗兰基》，女士接下来会怎么做？女士在听完男士的推荐之后表示会下载（I will try to download it），下载当然是为了观看，因此选项C正确。A选项“把它推荐给朋友”；B选项“去电影院欣赏”及D选项“和男士一起看”均不正确。 8. What does the woman say about the comedy The Big Bang Theory? 【试题答案】C 【试题解析】题目问关于喜剧《生活大爆炸》，女士说了什么？女士在对话中说到《生活大爆炸》这部剧已经播出十多年了（The show has been running for over ten years）。C选项是其同义转述，因此正确。干扰项A选项的common sense在录音中出现过，但录音中说的是剧中演员的常识，并不是说电视剧有违常识，因此A选项“这有违常识”不正确；B选项“这是有点荒唐的讽刺作品”，录音中提到satire“讽刺作品”是用来描述《弗兰基》这部剧的，因此不正确；D选项“遭到了科学家的批评”，录音中提到scientists是女士介绍《生活大爆炸》剧中人物的身份，而不是说科学家们对这部剧的评价，所以D选项也不正确。
