(2024·浙江杭州高一上期中)Some people have always been attracted to the world of movies and movie stars. One way to get closer to this world is to become a movie extra (群众演员). Extras are the people seated at tables in a restaurant while the two main actors are in conversation. They are the guests at the wedding of the main characters. Extras don't normally speak any lines, but they help make the scene look real.
Being a movie extra might seem like a lot of fun. You get to see what life is like behind the scenes. But don't forget that being an extra is really a job and it's mostly about doing nothing. First-time extras are often shocked to learn how slow the process of movie making is. In a finished movie, the action may move quickly. But it can sometimes take a whole day to shoot a scene that appears for just a few minutes on the screen.
The main requirement for being an extra is the ability to wait. You may report to work at 5:00 or 6:00 am, and then you wait until the director is ready for your scene. This could take several hours. Then there may be technical problems, and you have to wait a little longer. After the director says "action" and you do the first "take", you may have to do it again if the director is not satisfied with the scene. In fact, you may have to do the same scene over and over again.
Despite the long hours and low pay, many people still apply for the job. Some people truly enjoy the work. They like being on a movie set, and they enjoy being with other extras. Most of them have flexible schedules, which allow them to be available. They may be students, writers, old people, or jobless actors. Some actors hope the work will help them get real acting jobs, but it doesn't happen often.
The next time you see a movie don't just watch the stars. Take a closer look at the people in the background. Maybe there is someone in the crowd who is just like you.

Ⅱ. 七选五
(2024·湖南郴州高一上期末) *Toy Story*, *Cars*, *Finding Nemo*, *Wall-E*, *Up*—you have probably watched all these films. 1 Let's go through the process of creating a cartoon film.
Creating the storyboard
The first step is to write down the main ideas of the story. 2 Based on the storyboard, the art department creates the first draft for the characters, their clothing and emotions, and the design sets.
Making characters using 3D modelling
A special computer programme is used to create 3D shapes of the characters, sets and props—this is called modelling. 3 Special equipment is used to record points on these shapes. This information is then sent to a software programme which recreates the 3D shape.
Making them move
The layout crew (摄影构图组) decide how these characters should move and then the cartoonists take over. They use 3D software to create the movements of each character, the skeleton's (骨架) movements, facial expressions and more, between key frames (帧) in the story. 4
Dressing up for the show
The sets and props are "dressed" according to the designs laid out by the art department. The skin and hair for the characters, their costumes as well as special lighting effects such as shadows, shining reflections are also created.
Letting the show begin
5 The computers draw each frame one by one, with each frame slightly different from the previous one. Each frame takes 5—6 hours to create—imagine how much computing power and time it will take to create 24 frames per second of a 2-hour film!
A.From that, storyboards are drawn.
B.All these films have cost a large amount of money.
C.Remember too, that the movements have to be smooth!
D.Some of these shapes are simple, but some are very complex.
E.The decorations of the sets and props are created using a software.
F.Have you ever wondered how these amazing cartoon films were made?
G. All the 3D characters, their movements, and lighting are to be done by computers.
