Four Best Films of the Year
Soul
In the first Pixar cartoon to have an African-American lead character, Jamie Foxx provides the voice of a music teacher who dreams of making it as a jazz pianist in New York. But just after a successful audition, he falls into a hole in the street, and finds himself in a spiritual world where human spirits are given their personalities.
Nomadland
Fern packs her few belongings and drives off into the Nevada desert. She soon discovers that she isn’t alone: there is a large community of senior citizens forced to live on the road, supporting themselves with short-term jobs along the way. What makes Nomadland unique is that while Fern is played by an Oscar-winning actress, Frances McDormand, nearly all of the people she meets are nomads(游牧民).
Wolfwalkers
The year’s finest animated film doesn’t come from Dreamworks or Pixar, but from Cartoon Saloon. Their latest fairy tale is set in the mid-17th century, when English soldiers were trying to control the wild woods near Kilkenny. One hunter’s daughter named Robin learns that there aren’t just wolves in the forest, but wolfwalkers, who can change into wolves at night.
The Croods: A New Age
The prehistoric family from the cartoon of 2013, The Croods, makes a welcome return. In the sequel(续集), they meet another family, the Bettermans, whose advanced lifestyle and technology make the Croods look even more primitive. “The Croods lead with their heart while the other with their brain,” says Joel Crawford, the film’s director. “Of course, there’s conflict, but they learn to appreciate each other’s differences. There are some deep and powerful themes, but it’s a comedy too.”
21. What is special about Nomadland?
A. It is the year’s best animated film.
B. It has an African-American lead character.
C. The leading lady is played by a famous actress.
D. Nearly all the other people in the movie are indeed homeless.
22. Which movie is serious as well as funny?
A. Soul. B. Nomadland.
C. Wolfwalkers. D. The Croods: A New Age.
23. Who is one of the characters in the movies?
A. Robin. B. Jamie Foxx.
C. Joel Crawford. D. Frances McDormand.
B
It was our last class before summer break. I was finishing the first year of an MFA program in poetry. I was tired and puzzled. “Was I good enough to be in the program?” When the professor asked about our summer plans, I panicked. I didn’t want to appear idle. “Gardening,” I responded immediately. Actually I knew nothing about plants! My professor nodded and said, “What a good idea, Mary! Emily Dickinson loved gardening.” Emily Dickinson lived in the countryside, studying plant as a child. I was in my late twenties, living in the city without gardening experience.
A few days later, I bought a jalapeño seedling(青辣椒秧苗). At least I could say I’d tried gardening. I watered and changed the dirt for my little plant. I even talked to it. And over the summer, it grew bigger and bigger. I was proud. Maybe I didn’t have a black thumb after all.
I started the second year of my MFA, and then it was almost December and my jalapeño was suffering. It was brown in some places; many of its leaves had fallen. Would my little guy make it? I prayed, “Please be okay,” as if its survival was closely linked to mine.
I worked hard in school. Spring came. My jalapeño plant came back to life. It grew bigger, with new leaves. And then it flowered. I handed in my graduate paper, a book of poems, in May. “Your poems are strong,” my professor said.
A huge weight lifted. I’d done it! At that time, I found the flowers on my jalapeño plant were gone. I watched closer. A tiny green fruit pushed through where a flower had been. I smiled. I had succeeded in my MFA program, and my jalapeño plant had grown right beside me, and I successfully did things I hadn’t thought possible.
24. Why did the author begin gardening?
A. Just by accident.
B. Because of the love for gardening.
C. To express love for Emily Dickinson.
D. Because of the reminding of a professor.
25. When did the author begin her first gardening?
A. In her childhood.
B. In one of her summer breaks.
C. In her teens.
D. In her first year of MFA program.
26. What does the underlined phrase “a black thumb” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. A talent to grow plants. B. A dirty finger to touch plants.
C. A good fortune to do everything. D. An inability to do gardening.
27. Which proverb can best describe the story above?
A. It’s never too old to learn.
B. Easier said than done.
C. Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.
D. Do not teach fish to swim.
C
Researchers studied data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, organized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States and looked at the relationship between cups of coffee drunk per day and both total body fat percentage and abdominal or trunk fat.
They found that women aged 20---40 who drank two or three cups of coffee per day had the lowest level of obesity, 3.4% lower than people who did not consume coffee. Among women aged between 45---69, those who drank four or more cups had an obesity percentage 4.1% lower.
Overall, the average total body fat percentage was 2.8% lower among women of all ages who drank two or three cups of coffee per day.
The findings were consistent whether the coffee consumed was caffeinated(含咖啡因的) or decaffinated and among smokers/non-smokers and those suffering from chronic diseases(慢性病) when compared to those in good health.
In men, the relationship was less significant although men aged 20---44 who drank two or three cups per day had 1.3% less total fat and 1.8% less trunk fat than those who didn’t consume coffee.
Around 7 million tons of coffee is consumed globally every year. Dr. Lee Smith, senior author of the study, said: “Our research suggests that there may be active compounds in coffee other than caffeine that manage weight and which could potentially be used as anti-obesity compounds.”
“It could be possible that coffee, or its effective ingredients could be integrated into a healthy diet strategy to reduce the burden of chronic conditions related to the obesity,” Dr. Lee Smith added. “It’s important to interpret the findings of this study in light of its limitations --- the study was at a specific point in time so trends cannot be established. However, we don’t believe that someone’s weight is likely to influence their coffee consumption.”
28. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Coffee has less effect on men than women in fat according to the findings.
B. The women aged 20---44 like to drink two or three cups of coffee per day.
C. The researchers found that the coffee consumers preferred caffeinated coffee.
D. Trends will be established to limit people’s weight by their coffee
consumption.
29. What in coffee mainly influences body fat according to Dr. Lee Smith?
A. The caffeine. B. The decaffeinated.
C. The effective compounds. D. The rich nutrition.
30. What might the study be used for?
A. Developing a new coffee.
B. The treatment of obesity.
C. The treatment of heart disease.
D. The study of physical differences between the sexes.
31. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A diary. B. A guidebook. C. A novel. D. A magazine.
D
Plants: we eat them, juice them --- and now it seems we can mine them too!
After a successful experiment on the island of Borneo, the botany professor Alan Baker and a group of researchers want to introduce phytomining (harvesting minerals from plants) as a better, partial substitute for traditional mining.
Phytomining, also known as agromining, means collecting metals from live plants. However, this can only be done with a group of plants known as “hyperaccumulators”. There are around 700 identified types worldwide, and what makes these hyperaccumulators special is that they naturally attract and absorb minerals through their roots --- metals poisonous to other plants --- and then store huge, pure concentrations of these minerals in their bodies. The metals can then be extracted from the plants’ sap(汁；液), oil, or sometimes even live tissue.
Baker and his colleagues see a lot of potential in phytomining. Not only can it help meet the growing global demand for metals, but is a way of undoing some of that damage to the environment by traditional mining.
One of the biggest problems with traditional mining is that it pollutes the surrounding area. Phytomining can extract metal waste, plus planting the hyperaccumulators would regrow the deforested areas caused by mining operations. Aside from this, if phytomining is able to replace part of traditional mining, then there would be fewer instances of bad mining practices like abandoned mines, which pollute the nearby waters. Also, since phytomining provides metals that are already naturally pure, there is no need to use huge amounts of energy to purify the ore(矿石).
Phytomining has its drawbacks. Harvesting plants on a large scale is expensive today, compared to traditional mining. Besides, plants can be wiped out by diseases or unexpected weather conditions.
However, there are many reasons to consider phytomining. After all, we need to make sure that our planet can keep up and sustainable practices like phytomining give us the hope that our advancement doesn’t mean sacrificing Mother Earth.
32. What makes hyperaccumulators different from other plants?
A. The sap poisonous to other plants.
B. The ability to take in and store minerals.
C. The oil extracted from live plant tissue.
D. The concentrations of mineral in their bodies.
33. What is the advantage of phytomining?
A. It can stop deforestation.
B. It may reduce the deserted mines.
C. It uses clean energy to purify the ore.
D. It can’t be destroyed by diseases.
34. What is the author’s attitude toward phytomining?
A. Pessimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Optimistic. D. Skeptical.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Metals From Plants
B. The Future of Phytomining
C. What Are Hyperaccumulators?
D. Benefits of Phytomining

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all know about the health benefits of swimming. It offers a great workout to the body --- it builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular (心血管的) fitness. 36 Many people feel that swimming is very exciting and relaxing.
Cold-water swimming --- sometimes called wild swimming --- involves swimming in natural areas including ponds, rivers and the sea. Jumping in cold water gives a short sharp shock to the body. 37 A cold dip might wake you up, but research has found it can have much bigger benefits than those for your body and mind. As well as being good exercise, cold-water swimming improves well-being.
38 One man who suffered constant pain after surgery claimed he was cured by taking a swim in cold open water. And another swimmer, Sandria Simons, told the BBC “the immersion of your body in cold, salt water, just feeling like you’re at one with nature if you like, just feels amazing.”
What is it that people are gaining from this cold experience? Doctors say getting into cold water makes a stress response, but the more you do it, your reaction to stress is reduced. 39 In addition, cold-water swimming can exercise swimmers’ willpower. But there are bigger benefits of this stress-reducing exercise. Some experts believe cold-water swimming helps “cross-adaptation”, where one form of stress prepares the body for another. 40
So, if you’re convinced that this is for you, take advice: approach it with caution, swim with a friend, and maybe start in summer, when the water temperatures are higher.
A. Cold-water swimming is beneficial to people.
B. If you don’t mind getting wet, it can be fun, too.
C. However, many participants sat they get used to it.
D. It’s also thought to strengthen our digestive function.
E. We all know exercise can make people live a long life.
F. Cold-water swimming can cure certain conditions.
G. For example, it helps reduce the stress of exercising at high altitudes.

Paper Books or E-books?
Recently, a heated discussion was held in our class about whether we should read paper books or electronic books.
Some students argue that paper books are much healthier to our eyes without depending on electronic devices. Meanwhile, reading paper books is easy to see how many pages we have read and create a sense of achievement. What’s more, the parts we don’t understand can be easily found and read. However, other students hold the positive view, thinking E-books are so convenient that we can read them anywhere at anytime. Furthermore, so many options of E-books are available on the Internet, which are much cheaper and take up less space.
In my opinion, it doesn’t matter whether we read paper books or E-boos. The most important thing is that we should have a good habit of reading.

W: Where can you look if you want to know how tall the tallest person in the world is, or who the oldest person in the world is? There is only one place where you’ll find all these information, and that’s in the Guinness Book of World Records. This morning we have someone from the Guinness Company that produced that famous book, Thomas Manning. Welcome to the program, Thomas!
M: Thanks, Sue. It’s a pleasure to be here.
W: Perhaps you could start by telling us where the idea for the book came from.
M: Well, it was first suggested in the early 1950s. Sir Hugh Beaver, the managing director of Guinness, was out shooting birds with some friends. A bird flew away so quickly that no one was able to shoot it. Sir Hugh wondered whether this bird was the fastest bird in Europe, and if it wasn’t the fastest, he wondered what was.
W: So I suppose he went to the nearest library to look for the information and he couldn’t find it?
M: Yes, that’s exactly what happened. And this made Sir Hugh think there must be other people in the same situation who wanted this kind of information. He thought that, like himself, people would be interested in finding facts of all records to satisfy their curiosity.
W: So the idea for a book of records was born. And when did the first book come out?
M: A few years later, in 1955. So, to ask your first question: the tallest person in the world is 231.7 cm tall. And the oldest person i Jeanne. L. Calment, who was born in February, 1875.
W: There are also some rather strange records, aren’t there, Thomas?
M: Yes, that’s right. Did you know, Sue, that the shortest time it is taken ...
