The good news is that James Cameron’s Avatar，his first big film since Titanic，12 years ago，is a good film. The bad news—at least for Cameron—is that his film is not the masterpiece he set out to make. Nobody spends so much money(more than￡214 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 science—fiction epic(史詩) that will take its place along with Star Wars, The Matrix or his own Terminator films， But，amazingly enough，Avatar is so beautiful that it’s almost too rich to take in and appreciate on

one viewing. It’s not afraid of social and political comments，educating us in the evils(邪惡)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The curious thing about Avatar is that，for all of its advanced technological work，there is something out of date.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. Avatar’s political idea also seems out of date.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，hasn’t it?

Undoubtedly,Cameron unbelievably succeeds in creating an extremely beautiful world that nobody has ever se en. But this wonderful shell of beauty can’t make up Avatar’s lack of heart. In the past，Cameron could always mix big scenes with strong feelings. What’s missing here is the heartbreaking moment. The love story between Jake and Neytiri doesn’t take off the way Jack and Rose did in Titanic.

However，despite all these, we will be left with a film that’s no masterpiece. but still well worth seeing.

【解析】 本文是一篇電影評論，作者從獨特的角度對《阿凡達》提出了令人耳目一新的見解。

(1)C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第三句中的內(nèi)容可知雖然此片是一部好電影，但是考慮到高昂的制作成本，有些不值得。

(2)B細節(jié)理解題。由第一段內(nèi)容可知Cameron打算制作出一部與《星球大戰(zhàn)》《黑客帝國》和自己的《終結(jié)者》相提并論的經(jīng)典科幻史詩，可見B項《黑客帝國》不是他的作品。

(3)C 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段后半部分中的"What’s missing here is the heartbreaking moment. "可知《阿凡達》的弊端是缺少令人心碎的時刻。

(4) B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句中的內(nèi)容可推斷《阿凡達》在表達自己的觀點時無所畏懼。
