Hollywood’s true heroes are losing their jobs. Stunt people(替身演员)who entertained cinema-goers by falling for the sky, swimming with sharks and driving fast cars have been replaced by technology. After generations of street fights, high falls, and setting fire to themselves, these people have had nearly all their work replaced by computers. The most dangerous and costly stunts can now be achieved by mixing computer picture with live action.
In the mid-1990s there were 12,000 registered stunt people, but more than half of them had difficulty finding work. Sometimes, six or seven teams would be working on a film. Then, after a few days, the producers would come in and say, "You can go home."
The reason was simple: cost. Computer technology made it possible to create stunts which would either be too expensive or too dangerous to attempt. With the rise of digital technology(数字技术), insurance companies became more reluctant to cover real stunts. "If they know it can be done safely with visual effects, the companies will not insure real stunts," said a stunt person.
Many in their industry believe stunt people should develop expertise in the new technology, acting as advisers on the virtual stunts. Some, however, think that stunt people can survive in their traditional careers. They believe that audiences won’t accept stunts produced by computers for too long. [br] The word "cover"(Line 3, Para. 3)is closest in meaning to ______.
选项
A、refuse
B、insure
C、sell
D、help
答案
B
解析
语义理解题。本题询问第三段第三行中的单词“cover”与下列哪一个单词意思最相近。根据第三段第四句话可知,用电脑可以完成的特技,如果还用真实特技来做,保险公司就不愿意为这些真实特技投保。这句话的意思与此段第三句话表达的意思有相同之处,两句话相比,可知“cover”与第四句话中的“insure”意义相近。故此题正确答案为选项B(给……保险)。
