Question

    Shakespeare once wrote that all the world is a stage, but these days it's more like a movie set. Get to know some films to find fantastic film locations(地点) you should check out on your travels.

The Sound of Music

Austria's hills are certainly alive with the sound of music and tourists. Mozart may have been born in Salzburg, but The Sound of Music really put it on the map and now about 70 percent of people visit it because of the movie. Cross Residenzplatz Square and visit the Palace of Leopoldskron where the children in the film fell into the lake.

Troy

Although the Palace of Troy was filmed on sets built at Shepperton Studios in the UK, most of the 2004 movie was shot in Malta and Baja California, Mexico. Malta with historic sites and beautiful blue waters was a good choice to replace Greece. Troy was shot at a host of locations, including Golden Bay, Hal Far as well as Fort Ricasoli(where the city of Troy was constructed). The Trojan horse from the film is now lying on the waterfront in Canakkale, Turkey.

Bridget Joneses Diary

Bridget Jones is brought to life as we watch the work and romance in London. Her special corner flat is above the Globe Tavern by Borough Market, one of the city's oldest and biggest food markets. According to The Telegraph, it would be highly unlikely that she could afford to buy a place like that today since it has risen in value by more than 240 percent.

Harry Potter

J. K. Rowling started writing the Harry Potter books while she was living in Edinburgh, Scotland, so it's no surprise that she set most of the story there. The Hogwarts Express travels through the Scottish Highlands and along the 31 meters high Glenfinnan Viaduct. The second highest waterfall in the UK, Steall Falls can be seen during Quidditch matches.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了The Sound of Music、Troy、Bridget Joneses Diary以及Harry Potter四个电影的拍摄地点。

1.细节理解题。根据The Sound of Music部分中Mozart may have been born in Salzburg, but The Sound of Music really put it on the map and now about 70 percent of people visit it because of the movie. (莫扎特可能出生在Salzburg，但音乐之声确实让它出名了，现在大约70%的人因为这部电影而去参观它)可知是电影The Sound of Music使得Salzburg出名。故选A。

2.细节理解题。根据Troy部分中Troy was shot at a host of locations, including Golden Bay, Hal Far as well as Fort Ricasoli(where the city of Troy was constructed). 可知《特洛伊》在很多地方被拍摄，包括Golden Bay、Hal Far以及Fort Ricasoli (特洛伊城的所在地)，即特洛伊城建在Fort Ricasoli。故选B。

3.推理判断题。根据Bridget Joneses Diary部分中Bridget Jones is brought to life as we watch the work and romance in London.(当我们在伦敦观看这部电影时，Bridget Jones被赋予了生命)以及Harry Potter部分中The second highest waterfall in the UK, Steall Falls can be seen during Quidditch matches.
