Researchers say the trend suggests viewers are more likely to perceive a performance as “truly brilliant” if they are members of the same social group as the actor. It can be seen, perhaps most famously, in the case of Leonardo DiCaprio, who finally won a long-awaited Oscar in the 88th Academy Awards for his role in The Revenant, which follows the story of an American frontiersman. 2In 2014, Matthew McConaughey won an Oscar for his role in Dallas Buyers Club, and Jennifer Lawrence took an award home in 2013 for Silver Linings Playbook. 3The findings come from a new study published in the British Journal of Psychology. The team investigated a total of 908 merit prize winners: 97 winners and 383 nominees for the Oscars, and 97 winners and 331 nominees for the BAFTAs. Overall, they found that US actors dominated the awards, claiming over 50 percent of the prizes across the Oscars and BAFTAs. 4When the performer and judge shared membership within a particular social groupfor example, being Americanthe actor was more likely to win. As a result, American actors were found to win 52 percent of all BAFTAs, and 69 percent of all Oscars. While British actors won just 18 percent of all Oscars, and 34 percent of BAFTAs. 5In the Oscars, Americans who performed in films about non-US culture accounted for just 26 percent of the award winners. But, those who performed in films about American culture made up 88 percent of the winners. A. In recent years, many actors have cast themselves as frontiersmen. B. Subject matter played a role, too, according to the researchers. C. And, the same applies to Londons BAFTAs. D. But they also noted a trend within social groups. E. But the trend also stretches back throughout the years. F. Things are different in Britain. G. Daniel Day-Lewis won an Oscar in 2008 for his role in There Will be Blood. 一、单词拼写1. fantasy2. horror3. familiar4. attach5. prefer6. audience7. aid8. studio9. factor10. ensure二、单句语法填空1. creative2. approaches3. awards4. fantastic5. enables6. frequently7. performance8. location三、阅读理解1.C。词义猜测题。根据下文Reese描述他如何开始演艺之路以及他的理想工作是整形外科医生可知, 受到父亲的影响, 来到加州后的Reese想要尝试一下演戏。2.C。细节理解题。根据文中的“I ended up booking the part he went in for, and he booked mine. ”可知, 在第一次试演的那天, Reese得到了Ryan喜欢的角色。3.A。推理判断题。根据Reese对新电影Earth to Echo的介绍“receiving strange messages. . . find an alien. . . help the alien”可推测, 这是一部科幻片。四、阅读填句1.

G。根据前文In 2014, Matthew McConaughey won an Oscar for his role in Dallas Buyers Club, and Jennifer Lawrence took an award home in 2013 for Silver Linings Playbook. 可知, 本段列举了不同年份奥斯卡获奖电影的共同之处, G选项, Daniel Day-Lewis在2008年因饰演的电影血色将至获得奥斯卡奖项, 与前文一致。4. D。根据后一句When the performer and judge shared membership within a particular social groupfor example, being Americanthe actor was more likely to win. 可知, 当演员和评委是同一个组织机构的成员时, 演员更有可能获奖, 故可知, 拥有共同之处的演员更容易获奖, 这是一种趋势。5.
