问题     Crash. Shatter. Boom. Crash. Shatter. Boom. Smattering of silly dialogue. Pretty girl screams: "Dad!" Crash. Shatter. Boom. Silly dialogue. "DAD!!!" Crash. Shatter. Boom. What? Oh, sorry. We were falling into a trance there.
    Which is, dear moviegoer, what may happen to you during Michael Bay’s Transformers: Age of Extinction, the fourth Transformers film and lasts 165 minutes, which is precariously close to the three-hour mark that Bay undoubtedly will reach—by our sophisticated calculations, and at the current growth rate, with his sixth instalment.
    But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Despite what you’ve just read, this film will likely be a massive hit because by now, if you’re buying a Transformers ticket, you surely know what you’ re getting into, and you want more, more, more. And Bay is the Master of More.
    Or just take it from the 11-year-old sitting next to me, who reserved any audible judgment—he, too was in a trance, though maybe from sugar intake—until the moment he saw a Transformer become a dinosaur. Overwhelmed by the pairing, he proclaimed, "That’s the sickest thing I’ve ever seen in my life." It was as if peanut butter and jelly had been tasted together for the first time.
    This time, there’ s a whole new human cast. Most important, Mark Wahlberg has replaced Shia LaBeouf as well, Main Human Guy.
    A significant part of the movie also takes place in China—clearly a nod to the franchise’ s huge market in the country.
    In any case, we begin in Paris, Texas, where Cade Yeager(Wahlberg), a struggling inventor, is desperately seeking a big discovery. He’s also a widowed dad, and super-protective(as the movie incessantly reminds us)of his high-school daughter, Tessa(Nicola Peltz, blond and pretty and ineffective, though the one-note script does her no favours).
    One day, Cade buys a rusty old truck. Examining it back home, he soon discovers it’ s none other than Optimus Prime, the Autobot hero, seriously damaged.
    As Cade works on fixing him up, his assistant, wisecracking surfer-dude Lucas, has the dumb idea of calling the authorities. What he doesn’t know is that the government is plotting to destroy all remaining Autobots in favour of a man-made army of Transformers. He’ s being helped in this endeavour by the shadowy KSI Corporation, run by the nasty-but-complicated Joshua Joyce(Stanley Tucci).
    So now, it’s evil humans that pitted against the trustworthy Autobots. So much for gratitude. There’ s also a subplot involving Tessa and her secret boyfriend, Shane(Jack Reynor, underused), whose Irish accent leads Cade to dismissively call him "Lucky Charms" —at least until the two bond in battle.
    The obvious question: Is it too much for its own good? Bay is very talented at all things visual, the 3-D works well and the robots look great. But the final confrontation alone lasts close to an hour. At some point, you may find yourself simply in a daze, unable to absorb any further action into your brain. [br] What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
选项 A、The audiences don’ t like the final confrontation.
B、The disadvantages of Transformers 4 are more obvious than advantages.
C、Putting into too much what the director skilled poses negative effect.
D、The director Bay only focuses on the 3-D works.
答案 C
解析 主旨题。文章最后一段开头讲到 “The obvious question：Is it too much forits own good?”即然而，有个问题显而易见：是不是在自己的优势方面费时过多?接着展开来讲，影片最后的对峙持续了有将近一个小时，虽然场面宏大，效果震撼，但持续时间太长，以至于观众到最后感觉眼花缭乱，再也看不下去。该段中心句是第一句，也就是导演在自己擅长的方面投入太多，进而产生了负面影响。C项正确。
