四、(2025·眉山中考)阅读理解
词数: 295 体裁: 说明文 核心素养: 思维品质
话题: 形状及象征意义 难度: 中 建议用时: 7分钟
Have you seen circles, squares and triangles(三角形) everywhere in your daily life? Have you thought about their meanings in films? Much like colours, different shapes can show different features(特征) of characters in the scenes.
Circles represent(象征) things that are soft and natural. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature, like the sun, flowers, raindrops and so on. We can also connect circles with beautiful eyes, babies' round faces... All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters' bodies—heroes, kids, good people—are round in shape, because circles represent goodness, happiness and friendliness.
Squares show things that are unnatural or man-made, or things that are boring or old-fashioned. In Up, Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals. These shapes show the characters' personalities. Carl is stubborn(执拗的) and lonely, while Russell is lovely and full of energy.
The angriest shape is the triangle. Kids who draw a monster with sharp teeth draw a row of triangles, don't they? That's because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. If you look at the bad guys in cartoons, you'll find they're all drawn with plenty of points and triangles. And triangles are stable and don't easily fall down. In films, this feature makes bad people difficult to deal with.
Not only in cartoons, but also in other kinds of films, different shapes are used for the same purpose. So, next time you see a film, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know what the characters are like.
