Part III Cloze (10 marks) 8
Read the following passage and fill in each blank with one word. Choose the word in one of the following three ways: according to the context, by using the correct form of the given word, or by using the given letters of the word. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.
Where The Wild Thing Are
“I didn’t set out to make a children’s movie,” says Being john Malkovich director Spike Jonze , “I set out to make a movie about childhood.” Indeed, like the recent alternative children’s book (46) adaption , Fantastic Mr Fox, this is more like an adult film (47) in children’s clothing －or rather in Jim Henson monster suits. When rambunctious (无法无天) nine-year-old Max feels (48) ig nored by his busy single mum and her new boyfriend, and runs away (49) from home , he finds himself on an island populated by huge, hairy, scary Wild Things. Here, he gets himself crowned king, and he and the monsters fight and play, and throw mud at each other (which the younger viewers will love). They return home. That’s it .And that’s your problem. As a film , I can’t (50) deny it’s disappointing. Despite whimsical (异想天开) imaginative and heart-tugging moments, Jonze and co-writer Dave Eggers inevitably lose the wonderful subtlety (精妙之处) of Maurice sendak’s well-loved 338-word picture book just by (51) spinning (spin) it out into a full-length feature. Enough already! We get this dysfunctional group of neurotic Wild Things (52) rep etiting Max’s child’s eye view of grown-ups as comprehensible giants, both terrifying and loving. (53) However , even the repetitive action and non-subtleties (54) ,make this feel more like family therapy than a fairy (55)tale can’t destroy the film’s haunting magic.
