The small coastal town of Broome, in northwest Australia, is a remote village in the vast countryside.
There are no traffic jams and hardly any roads. There is only the massive Australian wild land, where some houses are 500 miles apart and some driveways are 50 miles long.
There seem to be only two main sources of entertainment out here: the sunset at the beach and Sun Pictures.
Sun Pictures is a very different movie theater: The seats are park benches and deck chairs, but you’re also welcome to sit on the grass.
It is the world’s oldest outdoor movie garden. Sun Pictures was built in 1916 on the other side of the globe from Hollywood. All the big films were shipped here and the lonely country was amazed.
Broome resident Pearl Hamaguchi has never traveled far from home. But in the Sun Pictures chairs, under the deep blue night sky, she has been almost everywhere.
"And we came back excited about Gregory Peck," she recalled.
This is one of the few places left in the world where you can see two sets of stars at the same time—one set in the sky, the other in the film.
Each night, dozens of people from around the world line up at the old wooden stand, with no computer in sight, and buy their tickets to the latest films.
Sun Pictures is also a museum, exhibiting projectors (放映机) that date back to the silent films, a portrait gallery of the famous people who never knew about this place—even though they came here all the time.
Every once in a while, I’m told, you might find a non-ticket holder in your seat. That’s why it’s always a good idea to shake out your chair to make sure there are no spiders or scorpions.
"We’ve only had a couple of scorpion incidents but no one’s been stung yet," said Aaron Mestemaker, a tourist visiting from Michigan.
Sun Pictures is a holy hall of movie history and a reminder that air conditioning and carpet are no match for grass and fresh air—even when the lizards steal the scene. [br] Gregory Peck is most probably the name of_____.
选项
A、a place
B、a film
C、a movie star
D、a country fellow
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。本题考查对代词This的理解。从第8段的This(指代太阳电影院)可以看出,这一段所说的two sets of stars是与上一段相关的,由此可见,上一段的Gregory Peck应该是一个电影明星。
