Think of Disney and you may conjure up images of animated films and enchantingly unreal theme parks. What probably doesn’t spring to mind is a huge research organization. Yet the firm’s science and technology has thrilled, fascinated and surprised generations of children and adults.
Disney calls its researchers "imagineers" and its California-based research team the Imagineering Department, hence the titles of new Disney+documentary series The Imagineering Story. Throughout its history, the Imagineering department has registered more than 300 patents. In 2019 alone, it was granted 74. It invented the first daily operating monorail system in the US,installed at Disneyland in California in 1959, the world’s first audio-animatronic figures in 1963 and the world’s first computer-controlled thrill ride, in the form of Disney World’s Space Mountain in 1975. The team also put together the world’s first radio frequency identification wristbands to act as payment and queueing systems in 2014. The firm is a significant contributor to academic research papers as well. Disney Research, the company’s academic-facing branch, has submitted 20 papers to major academic conferences since the start of 2019.
"We do have big tech powers," Jon Snoddy said, who leads the 3000-strong Imagineering team. The team’s spirit, though, is that its work should go under the radar, he says. " We’ll often hire someone with a PhD in physics and tell them: ’You’re going to do some of the most amazing work you’ll do in your entire career, and if people notice it, we’ve failed. ’" When Rafferty, who rose over his career to become executive creative director in the Imagineering department, joined Walt Disney, there was a sign in the department that simply said: "Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way. "
One of the final episodes of The Imagineering Story looks at the future. It shows a life-sized robot being thrown and moving in the mid-air, in a way that reminds us of Spider-Man, a character from the Marvel superhero universe that Disney bought in 2009. The project was the result of three years’ work by a team of 15, and will be used in the new Avengers Campus at the Disney California Adventure Park, due to reopen in July. Other innovations the team is working on include artificial intelligence-controlled animatronics to interact with park guests in character and augmented reality glasses to provide unique experiences for riders on roller coasters. Snoddy said; " We live for the moment when the audience look at something and don’t have words to describe it because they’ve never seen anything like it. "
Disney call its researchers "imagineers" because________.
选项
A、they are scientists with great imaginations
B、they are responsible for technology innovation
C、they produced several imaginary animated films
D、they work in the Imagineering team
答案
B
解析
推断题。根据题干关键词Disney call its researchers “imagineers” 可定位至第二段第一句。根据第二段第二句“Throughout its history,the Imagineering department has registered more than 300 patents”。可以得知幻想家的成果是专利技术。同时结合第一段结尾“Yet the firm’s science and technology has thrilled.fascinated and surprised generations of children and adults”,可以得知突出强调的是公司的science and technology。综合起来,可以得知幻想家的工作是技术创新,因此选项[B]正确。选项[A]在原文中没有提到,属于主观臆断,排除。选项[C]不符合原文,幻想家不负责制作虚构的动画电影,也排除。选项[D]是事实,但并不是研究人员被叫做幻想家的原因,属于张冠李戴,故排除。
