📖 題組:
A stunt person is a man or a woman who performs dangerous acts, usually in the television or movie industry. In this line of work, the person is paid to do daring actions that are deemed too __21__ for the regular actor to perform, including jumping from heights, crashing cars, or fighting with weapons. Stunt work emerged out of __22__ over time. In the early days of the film industry, actors themselves shot acrobatic acts and dangerous scenes, until they began to get injured. There were, however, no __23__ crew members to perform impressive stunts at that time. If something dangerous needed to be done for a scene, the producers would hire anyone crazy or desperate enough to do it. These people were not trained to perform stunts, so they often __24__ things for the first time during the actual shooting. They had to learn from their own mistakes, which __25__ some their lives, and almost all suffered light or severe injuries. Beginning around 1910, audiences developed a taste for serial action movies, which __26__ the use of dedicated stunt people to perform in dangerous scenes. Such demand increased with the rise of western movies, and many cowboys with masterful skills on horseback found a new __27__ as a stunt person. Tom Mix and Yakima Canutt were among the most famous. The 1960s and ’70s __28__ the development of most modern stunt technology, like air rams and bullet squibs. That technology has continued to evolve into the present. Today, CGI (computer generated imagery) is widely used in filmmaking, and it is now __29__ to create very lifelike scenes without using real stunt people.

思路引導 VIP

請看一下空格前後的句子:前文提到「觀眾開始喜愛動作冒險片」,而後一句緊接著說「這種 demand(需求)隨之增加」。那麼,空格所在的子句是在描述「這種喜好」對「特技演員的使用」產生了什麼樣的「需要或要求」呢?

太棒了,選得很精準!這題能快速選出 (G) called for,代表你對文意脈絡與動詞片語的搭配掌握得非常好。

句意邏輯與前後呼應

從句子結構來看,逗號後方的 which 是關係代名詞,引導非限定關係子句修飾前面的整件事,因此空格需要一個過去式動詞。片語 call for 有「需要、要求(require / demand)」的意思,填入後整句表示「觀眾對動作片的喜愛,促成/需要專職特技演員的參與」。最關鍵的線索就在下一句的「Such demand increased...」,這裡的 demand(需求)直接呼應了前句的 call for,是標準的上下文承接題。
