定位线索：题干“Why did the animal activists gather”对应答案句“one activist...had arrived with a sign praising the filmmakers”；文中“praising the filmmakers”对应选项D“express thanks to some filmmakers”。
解析：题干问动物保护者聚集在好莱坞大道的原因，答案句明确指出一位 activists 举着牌子赞扬电影制作人，即表达感谢，对应D选项。A选项“看明星”无中生有，B选项“反对穿皮草”是原文开头提到的常见行为但并非此次目的，C选项“筹款”完全未提及。

In this case, one of a realistic-looking ape.
参考译文：《猩球崛起》背后的创意团队使用动作捕捉技术来创造数字化动物，花费数千万美元用于记录演员表演并随后用计算机图形处理以生成最终图像的技术。在这种情况下，生成的是一个逼真的猿猴形象。
定位线索：题干“paragraph 2 mainly talk about”对应答案句“used motion-capture technology to create digitalized animals”；文中“create digitalized animals”对应选项B“the creation of digitalized apes”。
解析：第二段主要描述了使用动作捕捉技术创造数字化猿猴的过程，首句即点明主题，对应B选项。A选项“制作成本”只是细节之一，C选项“宣传”未提及，D选项“真实猿猴的表演”与原文相反，因为技术是替代真实猿猴。
26. What does the underlined phrase “keeping tabs on” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

参考译文：一个监督电影娱乐中动物待遇的非营利组织，今年正在密切关注超过2000部作品。
定位线索：题干“keeping tabs on”所在句为答案句；文中“monitors the treatment”与“keeping tabs on”同义，对应选项D“watching carefully”。
解析：答案句前文提到该组织“monitors the treatment of animals”，即监督动物待遇，因此“keeping tabs on”意为“密切关注”，对应D选项。A选项“完全列出”无依据，B选项“专业指导”和C选项“成功推广”均与监督语境不符。
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph about animal actors?
- A. They may be badly treated.
- B. They should take further training.
- C. They could be traded illegally
- D. They would lose popularity.
答案：A
答案句：In some cases, it’s not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists worried; it’s the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns. And there are questions about the films made outside the States, which sometimes are not monitored as closely as productions filmed in the States.
参考译文：在某些情况下，让 activists 担心的不是片场动物的待遇，而是场外训练和生活条件引发担忧。而且，对于在美国境外制作的电影也存在疑问，这些电影有时不像在美国拍摄的作品那样受到密切监督。
定位线索：题干“infer from the last paragraph”对应答案句“off-set training and living conditions are raising concerns”和“films made outside the States...not monitored as closely”；文中“raising concerns”和“not monitored as closely”暗示动物可能受到不良待遇，对应选项A“may be badly treated”。
解析：最后一段指出场外训练和生活条件令人担忧，且境外电影监督不严，由此可推断动物演员可能受到虐待，对应A选项。B选项“应进一步训练”是偷换概念，原文提到训练条件差而非训练不足；C选项“非法交易”无中生有；D选项“失去 popularity”未提及。
