ago，is a good film. the bad newsat least for cameronis that his film is not the masterpiece he set out to make. nobody spends so much money(more than214 million)or spends so much time(the project started in 1995)to make just a good film. no，cameron has intended to make a classic sciencefiction epic(史诗) that will take its place along with star wars, the matrix or his own terminator films， but，amazingly enough，avatar is so beautiful that its almost too rich to take in and appreciate on one viewing. its not afraid of social and political comments，educating us in the evils(邪恶)of capitalism while entertaining us with the evils of capitalism. the curious thing about avatar is that，for all of its advanced technological work，there is something out of date. the idea of humans using other bodies to travel in other worlds was an exciting concept for novelists and film-makers back in the 1990s. second life can be easily found in films of that decade. avatars political idea also seems out of date. humans destroy things for short-sighted profits，and this has been going on all the time throughout the human history，hasnt it? undoubtedly,cameron unbelievably succeeds in creating an extremely beautiful world that nobody has ever seen. but this wonderful shell of beauty cant make up avatars lack of heart. in the past，cameron could always mix big scenes with strong feelings. whats missing here is the heartbreaking moment. the love story between jake and neytiri doesnt take off the way jack and rose did in titanic. however，despite all these, we will be left with a film thats no masterpiece. but still well worth seeing.【解析】 本文是一篇电影评论，作者从独特的角度对阿凡达提出了令人耳目一新的见解。 (1)c推理判断题。根据第一段第三句中的内容可知虽然此片是一部好电影，但是考虑到高昂的制作成本，有些不值得。(2)b细节理解题。由第一段内容可知cameron打算制作出一部与星球大战黑客帝国和自己的终结者相提并论的经典科幻史诗，可见b项黑客帝国不是他的作品。(3)c 细节理解题。根据第三段后半部分中的whats missing here is the heartbreaking moment. 可知阿凡达的弊端是缺少令人心碎的时刻。(4)b 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句中的内容可推断阿凡达在表达自己的观点时无所畏惧。(5)d 作者态度题。由第二段和第三段可知阿凡达是一部科幻电影；再根据最后一段中的内容可知作者认为阿凡达虽然不是杰作，但仍然不愧为一部值得观看的电影。由此选d项。高考预练1、such poets as shakespeare widely read，of whose
