[2025眉山中考改编]①Can you see circles, squares and triangles(三角形) in your daily lives? Have you thought about their meanings in films? Much like colours, different shapes stand for different things.
②Circles stand for things that are soft and natural. The round shape is connected with things in nature, like the sun, flowers, raindrops and so on. 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.
③Squares show things that aren't natural and things that are boring or old-fashioned. In Up(《飞屋环游记》), Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, a boy with a round face, always wears round medals because he's lovely and full of energy. These shapes show what the characters are like.
④The angriest shape is the triangle. Every kid who draws a monster with sharp teeth draws a row of triangles, don't they? That's because the shape stands for fear, distrust and doubt in some way. Bad guys in cartoons are always drawn with plenty of points and triangles. Triangles are stable and don't fall down easily. So do bad people.
⑤In other kinds of films, different shapes are also used for the same purpose. Next time you see a film, try to find the hidden shapes.
1. ▶新考法·图文转换题 Calabash(葫芦) brothers always help others. What can you choose to draw them according to the text?
2. What's Carl like?
A. Smart and lovely. B. Old and boring.
C. Strong and brave. D. Heavy and slow.
3. What does the underlined word "stable" in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Easy to move. B. Difficult to reach.
C. Unable to touch. D. Unlikely to move.
4. ▶新考法·篇章结构题 Which of the following shows the structure of the text?
5. What is the text mainly about?
A. Shapes in our daily lives.
B. Different characters in films.
C. Meanings of different shapes.
D. Ways of drawing cartoon characters.
