　　He never ages, he never gets seriously injured, henever stops drinking or chasing skirt, he neversettlesfor anything less than the best cars,clothes,accommodation and weapons, and he nevertakes time off from saving the world from disaster.

　　Bond has certainly been an economic lion. MGM/UA, the company that releases the Bond films inthe US, virtually stays in business for that sole purpose. In late August, Wall Street analystsupgraded their rating of the company's stock on the mere basis of seeing some footage of thenext Bond film which isn't due in cinemas until late November.

　　But something other than money, even vast piles or it, keeps Bond going.Although he hasseemed to stay Frozen in time, Bond has actually undergone a series of very subtletransformations, via the variety of actors who have played the role and the relation of themovies to the culture and politics of the real world.

　　Perhaps it was because he was so much older than Connery, the ever first Bond; perhapsbecause his films depended less on what he brought to the part than what was happeningaround him. Moore was always slightly out of touch,distinctly self-satisfied, standing like abeauty queen or a game show contestant waiting to be crowned.

　　The Bond franchise was next put into the hands of an actual actor, the impossibly handsomeShakespearean actor Timothy Dalton. Dalton's debut gave the film-makers the opportunity tosteer the character back to Fleming's vision of bare knuckles and high living. And Dalton, beinga proper actor, played the role as written: hard, violent, mean.

　　Like Moore, Brosnan had once lost the role to the previous fellow and was best known for histelevision work. But Brosnan had glamour, there was no denying it. And he had the look andthe wit and even the acting chops.

　　The public at large deemed him a perfect Bond. His first three outings-Golden Eye, TomorrowNever Dies andThe World Is Not Enough-all grossed US$350 million worldwide, the most in thehistory of the series. Brosnan's chief strength is his ability to play straight and wink at thesame time-in this capacity he is arguably the best Bond of all.

　　1.It is indicated that MGM/UA stays in business simply for________________ purpose.

　　2.The next Bond film is expected to be put on in the cinemas in__________________________.

　　3.Before he was chosen to act as Bond, Timothy Dalton used to play parts in______________________.

　　4.Fleming originally described Bond as a secret agent of____________________________.

　　5.Brosnan's first chance to play Bond was lost to another actor whose name is__________________.

　　参考答案：

　　1.[economic]

　　[定位]第2段开头两句。

　　解析：第2段第2句表明MOM/UA持续经营的原因是for that sole purpose，而由首句中提到的an economic lion可推断此处这个“目的”是指“经济方面的”目的，因此economic为本题答案。

　　2.[late November]

　　[定位]第2段末句。

　　解析：根据题干可以推断本题要求查找下一部007电影上映的时间或地点，原文只有第2段末句提到了the next Bond film，该句句末的定语从句说明了其公演的时，可见late November为本题答案。

　　3.[Shakespearean plays]

　　[定位]第5段首句。

　　解析：从第5段首句中的actual actor和Shakespearean actor可以推断Timothy Dalton在扮演007之前是一个职业演员，而且专演“莎士比亚剧”，故Shakespearean plays就是本题答案。

　　4.[bare knuckles and high living]

　　[定位]第5段第2句。

　　解析：空白处为名词(词组)。原文该句中的steer the character back to...描述的就是Fleming理想中的007形象，而本题要求查找的正是描述007形象的词语，因此该句中的bare knuckles and high living为本题答案。

　　5.[Timothy Dalton]

　　[定位]倒数第2段首句。

　　解析：本文介绍007演员时是按他们扮演007的先后顺序的，第4段提到最早的是Connery，然后是Moore，第五段提到接着是Timothy Dalton，最后两段提到Brosnan。由此可见，Brosnan之前是Timothy Dalton，而这正是倒数第2段首句中previous fellow的所指，故本题答案应为Timothy Dalton。
