Growing up in such surroundings, Webber was never a 46 to playing musical instruments and to composing music. 47, by the time he turned nine, he had become an organ player, 48 his father during performances.

Reading Comprehension (10%) (1) Adaptation is the transference of one artistic work to another. Film adaptation, for instance, usually involves using a written work as the basis of a feature film. Some common examples of written works from which films are adapted are novels, biography, comic books, plays, and so on. Among these sources, theatrical works are often the most popular choice for adaptation. William Shakespeare has been humorously referred to as the most popular screenwriter in Hollywood, for several of his renowned comedies and tragedies have been modified and transformed into movies. West Side Story, for example, got the inspiration for its plot from Romeo and Juliet, while Twelfth Night cleverly became the muse for the film She s the Man. Similarly, hit Broadway shows are frequently adapted from and into various other works. The 2004 film The Phantom of the Opera is a prime example. It is an adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber s 1986 musical of the same name, which in turn was based on the French novel by Gaston Leroux. Directed by Joel Schumacher, the movie production hired Lloyd Webber as a co writer as well as a producer. The cast included Gerard Butler as the title role, Emmy Rossum as Christine, the heroine, along with many other brilliant acting talents. This kind of continual adaptive process is also seen in The Producer, a film that was adapted into a Broadway musical before being adapted again into a film. Despite some skepticism that these adapted works of art lack creativity, it s without a doubt they have captured the interest of a large audience. 55. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true of the film The Phantom of the Opera? (A) Its production involves the author of the original written work. (B) The story on which it is based has been made into a performance on stage. (C) The author of its story has created several well known comedies and tragedies. (D) The story on which it is based has remained the same since the French version. 56. Why does this passage give examples of adapted works? (A) To make comparisons. (B) To argue against an opinion. (C) To illustrate a main idea. (D) To detail the steps in a process. 57. What can we infer from the passage? (A) Adapted works have attracted a large group of fans. (B) Some people regard adapted works as an inspiration for creativity. (C) William Shakespeare has made a fortune from Hollywood films. (D) Most writers of musicals are also the producer of their own works. 第 3 頁, 共 5 頁
