单选题 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to45.
Sean Connery was the first Bond actor, who has appeared seven times on the screen. In this first 007movie, British agent James Bond ( his code is 007) is sent on a mission to Jamaica to investigate the murder of a fellow agent. He becomes involved with the villainous Dr. No, an evil scientist who plans to disrupt the US space program by diverting the fight paths of rackets launched at Cape Canaveral. Aided by US agent Felix Leiter and bikiniclad Honey, who emerges from the sea, he successfully concludes his mission.
Thunderball was originally planned to become the first Bond movie, but Ian Fleming was being sued(被起诉) by two writers who claimed that part of their screenplay had been written into his novel. The litigation (民事诉讼) made the property too hot to touch, so Dr. No was made in its place. It was directed by Terence Young, and produced by Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli. Albert Cubby Broccoli tried to purchase the rights to the Bond stories but was beaten to them by Harry Saltzman. Braccoli then tried to buy them from Saltzman, who would only make a deal on a joint venture, which brought about their Eon (Everything or nothing)Production Company.

  • B. Dr. No was made into its place just because of the litigation.
  • C. The rights to the Bond stories belonged to Albert R. Broccoli.
  • D. A joint venture was set up by Harry Saltzman to produce the first Bond movie.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】A项表示“伊安·弗莱明拍摄第一部邦德影片《雷霆万钧》(Thunderball)不费吹灰之力”。这与文中第二段第一句话有出入。伊安·弗莱明在拍摄《雷霆万钧》时遇到法律纠纷,故并非轻而易举。B项“因为民事诉讼,No博士登堂入室(成为thunderball电影中的一个重要角色)”,这在文中第二段第二句中有所陈述,故正确。C项说明“艾伯特·R·布洛柯里,拥有邦德小说的权利”这与文中有出入。短文提及布洛柯里只是制片人而已。D项“一家合资企业由哈里·萨尔兹曼建立,以制作第一部邦德影片。”这与文中也有出入。文中只提及萨尔兹曼愿意同布洛柯里做交易是基于建立一家合资企业的基础上。故D项也不正确。综上所述,唯有B项为正确选择。
