【答案解析】

1.B。细节理解题。文章的第二段“The film was clever and funny in parts—but it got much wrong，Wozniak told Bloomberg reporter Emily Chang.”和第六段“Wozniak...described the film as‘entertainingif not completely real to life.”均可以确定B是正确的。其他三个选项都只是片面地说出了一点。

2.C。段落理解题。文章第三段“Wozniak was disappointed by the way the movie portrayed people that Steve Jobs had collaborated with and learned from in his early days as a business man.”句意：“令沃兹尼亚克感到失望的是电影对史蒂夫·乔布斯早年作为商人合作过并从他们身上学习的人们的描写方式。”从中可以看出C最符合题意。

3.D。句義推测题。从下一段Wozniack soon responded to Kutcher's jab in a post he wrote on Gizmodo中可以看出Wozniack回应了Kutcher的抨击，可见D符合句意。A项与D项相反，故是错误的；B、C两项意思相似，均为错项。

4.A。词义推测题。由句中的disingenuous and wrong statem ents可以判断disingenuous是和wrong同属于负面的陈述，选项中artful是“人工的，不真诚的”和disingenuous的意思吻合，故A正确；artless单纯的；自然的；exact“精确的”和honest“诚实的”与并列词wrong意思相悖，都是错误的。

5.B。观点态度题。通读全文可以知道，作者完全在转述别人的观点，没有流露自己的态度，所以B正确。subjective主观的；objective客观的；sympathetic同情的；supportive支持的。

【长句分析】

1.Primarily，Wozniak was disappointed by the way the movie portrayed people that Steve Jobs had collaborated with and learned from in his early days as a business man.首先，令沃兹尼亚克感到失望的是电影对那些人的描写方式，他们是史蒂夫·乔布斯在早年作为商人合作过并从他们身上学习的人。

这是个复合句。主句是Wozniak was disappointed by the way，后面是定语从句省略了关系副词，that引导的定语从句修饰people。

2.Wozniak acknowledged the talent of actors in the film—including his own Hollywood doppleganger，Josh Gad—and described the film as“entertaining”，if not completely real to life.沃兹尼亚克肯定了影片中演员们的精彩演绎（包括扮演他自己的、面貌极相似的好莱坞演员——乔希·盖德），并说虽然电影没能完全还原真实的生活，它也是一部带有“娱乐性”的电影。

这是个简单句。句子的谓语是两个并列的动词acknowledged和described，带了各自的宾语。including介词短语和连词if引导的省略结构都作状语。

【語法点拨】

When you make a movie about something that's real life you can never get[everything]right.

当你制作一部关于现实生活的电影时，你无法永远保证（一切）正确。

When引导的是个时间状语从句。连接词when不仅引导时间状语从句还可以引导让步状语从句。when用法小结：

（1）when可用来引导时间状语从句，意为“当……的时候”，从句的谓语动词可以是延续性的，也可以是终止性的。如：

When the film ended，they went back.

When I lived there，I used to go to the seashore on Sundays.

（2）When常用于下列句式：when为并列连词意为“就在这时”。

was doing sth....when...

was about to do...when...

was on the point of doing sth....when...

had done...when...

（3）when可以表“既然”。如：

How can I help them to understand when they won't listen to me？endprint
