Home theaters have the tendency to replace the role of cinema in some cities of the US.(23)Home theaters that use large high-definition television sets and sound systems can provide the typical experience for watching movies at lower prices. So they began to threaten the movie industry’s ticket sales. More and more people are waiting for Hollywood’s new movie discs—so they can experience them in the comfort of their own homes, rather than pay a lot of money at a local cinema with the silver screen. There is nothing new about television’s effect on the cinema. Until recently, though, the competition between the two media was for the viewers’ time. The impact on ticket sales is telling. For the first nine months of 2011, box-office receipts in America were down 2. 3%, said analysts at SNL Kagan, a finance and media research company based in Virginia. Meanwhile, video rentals from some video website alone increased 48%. Meanwhile the film industry has made every effort to stop the falling tendency. Nowadays,(24)most of the cinemagoers have many more choices to watch movies. And if the comments about a film are not compelling enough, they will not go to the cinema. Instead, many are likely to wait until the movie comes out on DVD discs—or watch it from some websites. This is particularly true of people in their twenties and thirties.(25)In order to catch the last straw, the film industry made some three-dimension movies. However, complaints can also be heard from movie fans because they have to wear special glasses when watching 3D movies. Unfortunately, now television makers started to make 3D TV sets.
23. Why did the home theaters begin to threaten the ticket sales of movie industry?
24. Why do some cinemagoers have more choices nowadays according to the passage?
25. What did the film industry do to change its current situation?

选项 A、People are willing to stay at home and watch TV.
B、People don’t like to go to the cinema nowadays.
C、People dislike Hollywood movies nowadays.
D、People can watch movies at lower prices at home.

答案 D

解析 原因目的题。本题问的是为什么家庭影院开始对电影产业的售票产生威胁。短文开头提到,家庭影院有取代电影院的趋势,之后解释原因:家庭影院的高清图像和音效系统可以给观众带来独特的观影体验,而且花钱少。
