问题     Hollywood’s true heroes are losing their jobs. Stunt people (替身演员) who entertained cinema-goers by falling for the sky, swimming with sharks and driving fast cars have been replaced by technology. After generations of street fights, high falls, and setting fire to themselves, these people have had nearly all their work replaced by computers. The most dangerous and costly stunts can now be achieved by mixing computer picture with live action.
    In the mid-1990s there were 12,000 registered stunt people, but more than half of them had difficulty finding work. Sometimes, six or seven teams would be working on a film. Then, after a few days, the producers would come in and say, "You can go home."
    The reason was simple: cost. Computer technology made it possible to create stunts which would either be too expensive or too dangerous to attempt. With the rise of digital technology (数字技术), insurance companies became more reluctant to cover real stunts. "If they know it can be done safely with visual effects, the companies will not insure real stunts," said a stunt person.
    Many in their industry believe stunt people should develop expertise in the new technology, acting as advisers on the virtual stunts. Some, however, think that stunt people can survive in their traditional careers. They believe that audiences won’t accept stunts produced by computers for too long.
The stunt people are losing their jobs because of ______.
选项 A、the speed in making movies
B、the cost in making movies
C、the insurance of movies
D、the visual effects of the real stunts
答案B
解析 事实细节题。本题询问替身演员正在失去他们的工作是因为什么，从第三段第一句话可知，替身演员失去工作的理由很简单，就是因为电影制作成本的问题，故此题正确答案为选项B。选项A(电影制作速度)和选项D(真实特技的视觉效果)在文章中没有涉及，故不迭。第二段第二句话指出了运用电脑技术可以减少电影特技成本，第三句话指出保险公司越来越不愿意为真实特技投保，而选项C(电影投保的问题)指出的仅仅是电影成本某一方面的问题，不如选项B(电影制作成本)全面，故不选。
