Ⅰ. 阅读理解

Nezha is the subject of the latest feature,  which officially opens in cinemas in China on Friday.  Nezha has earned hot reviews and is ranked higher than Monkey King: Hero is Back.  It is also China’s first 3D animated feature film released in IMAX format.

　　Since July 13,  previews of the film have taken more than 140 million yuan at the box office and the film has a score of 8. 8 points (out of 10) on China’s largest filming rating site,  Douban.  It took Jokalate Yang Yu,  the film’s director and screenwriter,  two years to improve the script (剧本) of Nezha,  and the film was in production for three years.  It is the most complex animated production ever made in China.  Nezha has more than 1, 300 special effects shots,  and it took over 20 Chinese special-effects studios,  employing more than 1, 600 people,  to realize the film’s fairy tale setting,  the mysterious Dragon King’s palace and a fight between fire and water.  One splendid scene alone took two months to complete.

　　Yang made up his mind to produce an animated film on the theme of breaking the traditional styles and changing fate to the opposite.  Yang chose Nezha as his vehicle,  the representative of the rebellious (叛逆的) but righteous youth.  However,  compared with the original novel and past animated versions,  the relationships between the characters are given modern meaning.  In Yang’s film he is fighting prejudice: Nezha is hated and feared.  But Nezha believes his fate is not predetermined and that he can choose to be a devil (恶魔) or a god.

　　“After watching so many domestic animated films,  only Nezha and Monkey King: Hero is Back have made me fascinated, ” a Weibo user commented under the promotional video.

　　“Epic!  I finished watching Nezha in tears.  The content-rich story,  vivid characters,  and amazing visual effects,  work together to create a 110-minute roller-coaster (过山车) watching experience, ” a Douban user commented.

　　“Bravo!  Couldn’t believe a domestic animated film can be created with such a well-developed story.  The image of Nezha in this film has been overturned but his rebellious spirit is well-established.  I’m sure Nezha is gonna go viral this summer! ” reads another comment on Douban.

Ⅲ. 概要写作

(2020·杭州模拟)

阅读下面短文, 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

High school exit tests are tests that students must pass to graduate from high school. In the last few years,  however,  a number of states in America have dropped them. Although some states still use them for diplomas, the number is down from a high of 27 states during the testing craze promoted by No Child Left Behind (NCLB).

The appearance of this phenomenon is small wonder. Researches clearly show that exit tests have little positive effects on students. A 2014 report found exit testing was associated with lower graduation rates,  negatively affected labor market outcomes,  and,  most alarmingly,  produced a 12. 5 percent increase in incarceration (监禁) rates. Exit exams,  the study concluded,  had tended to add little value for most students.

Exit testing relies on the following assumptions. One is that standardized testing can serve as a kind of “quality control” for high school graduates,  guaranteeing that graduates are college ready. The other is that they have predicting value for future success in academic situations.

But there is little evidence. The tests don’t exactly measure what they pretend to measure. For example,  qualities such as intelligence,  academic ability,  college readiness are not determined. Those that should be developed in all young people,  like responsibility,  critical thinking,  and empathy (移情),  are not measured,  either. Even supporters of exit tests have acknowledged that they don’t offer reliable data.

Thus,  more and more people are suggesting that exit test scores ought to be just one component of the high school diploma. Schools should consider many other records including credits earned,  courses taken, activities,  service,  projects and other elements of academic accomplishment so that students can be evaluated flexibly. In other words,  exit test scores should never be the only criterion for high school diplomas.

【参考范文】

High school exit tests have been cancelled in some states in America in recent years. (要点1)This is not surprising because studies show they do little good to students. (要点2)Instead of ensuring college readiness and academic success, they actually don’t measure what should be measured. (要点3)Therefore, exit test scores should only be one part of the standards of high school diplomas. (要点4)
