考查介词辨析。“on the screen”是固定搭配，意为“在屏幕上”，符合语境“当CGI技术在屏幕上被恰当使用时”。A.beyond（超出）、B.against（反对；靠着）、C.through（通过）均不符合搭配。

B.Although
C.Because
D.Whether

() 3. Film festivals like Cannes are important platforms can help new directors get international recognition.
A.where
B.when
C.which
D.who

C

本题考查定语从句的关系词。分析句子结构可知，“_____ can help new directors get international recognition”为定语从句，修饰先行词“platforms”（平台），该先行词在定语从句中作主语，指物。A选项“where”在定语从句中作地点状语；B选项“when”在定语从句中作时间状语；C选项“which”可指代物，在定语从句中作主语或宾语；D选项“who”指代人，在定语从句中作主语或宾语。由于先行词是物且在从句中作主语，所以应用“which”引导定语从句。
