　　Passage One

　　(16) The ever so-beloved West End musical Mamma Mia has finally been taken from the stage to the silver screen. The film is a musical based on the legendary Swedish pop band ABBA'S songs and it is the film adaptation of the musical of the same name. Mamma Mia uses the music of ABBA to tell the story of Sophie Sheridan, a 21-year-old American bride-to-be, trying to find out the identity of her real father so that he can give her away at the wedding. (17) Since the premiere of the musical in London in 1999, over 30 million people have seen Mamma Mia around the world and the theater production has grossed $2bn in earnings. Although the title of the musical is taken from ABBA's 1975 chart-topper Mamma Mia, neither the musical's nor the film's plot has anything to do with the story of the group itself.

　　The band ABBA was the winner of the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest and following that success their songs topped the charts worldwide until the early 1980s. The name ABBA is short for the first letters of the group member's first names. Some people say maybe it is the mature A-list cast that makes the film work so well. (18) Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgard star as the three potential dads with the Oscar winner Meryl Streep starring as the mum of the bride-to-be.

　　16. What can be learned about the film Mamma Mia?

　　17. Where was Mamma Mia first put on the stage?

　　18. What can be learned about the cast of the film?

　　参考答案：

　　【小题16】A

　　【小题17】A

　　【小题18】D

　　习题解析：

　　【小题16】短文开头提出 musical Mamma Mia has finally been taken from the stage to the silver screen，由此可知，该电影是由舞台音乐剧改编而成的，因此答案为选项 A。

　　【小题17】此题针对音乐剧 Mamma Mia 在何处首次上演进行提问。根据短文内容 Since the premiere of the musical in London in 1999 可知，该音乐剧首次上演的地点为英国伦敦。因此答案为选项 A。

　　【小题18】短文最后提到 the Oscar winner Meryl Streep starring as the mum of the bride-to-be，由此可知，女主角是获过奥斯卡奖的梅丽尔.斯特里普，因此答案为选项 D。其他三个选项均属于过度推断。
