Four of the Most Magical Movies from Your Childhood
Whether it was the enchanting characters, the memorable scenes or simply because it was the first film your mum or dad took you to, these are the movies that have left the most lasting impressions over the decades.
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
“I loved it for two reasons. First, it showed a wonderful, loving extended family. I was fascinated by their kitchen setting and the little corner where the boy Charlie slept. Second, inside the chocolate factory was what all children dreamed of. The whole movie transported me from my childhood worries into a fairyland world. ” — Margaret McKee
Dumbo
“For a kid who often felt like he didn’t fit in, and wasn’t good at anything, it was magical to see Dumbo discover his talent and become loved and celebrated.” — Lorraine
The Never-ending Story
“It has to be the most magical movie from my era. The story has everything a young kid can ask for; a great story, a mythical flying dog and an interesting ending. Our family continue to watch it today. ” — Aaron Elliott
The Sound of Music
“When I was young, movies were a treat, with lollies, friends and a canvas seat. There was a special one that I did adore, and many times I’ve gone back for more. The songs, the scenery and the story line always transport me to another time. It is such a classic that my memories of it are so fantastic. ” — Joanne Carter
21. What does “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory” concern?
A. A dangerous situation. B. A fairyland world.
C. A mysterious friend. D. An unexpected incident.
22. Which movie may most benefit children lacking confidence?
A. Dumbo. B. The Never-ending Story.
C. The Sound of Music. D. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
23. What does Aaron Elliott think of “The Never-ending Story”?
A. It is full of unrealistic things. B. It meets all his expectations.
C. It influences people of all ages. D. It is the most meaningful movie.
B
Brian Greene, a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University, has created an online science education platform. He tries to “build a bridge” with things you know about, and then “bring you across that bridge to the strange place of modern physics”．
Recently I had a chance to ask Greene about wormholes (a hole which some scientists think might exist, connecting parts of space and time that are not usually connected), time travel and other mysteries of the universe. I asked him a milliondollar question: What if I went through a wormhole and prevented my parents from meeting? “Most of us believe that the universe makes sense,” Greene said. Although there are several interesting theories about time travel, he added, the laws of physics would probably prevent something so illogical from taking place. The good news is that the time paradox (悖论) is open for future physicists to solve.
When asked how physics could become more exciting for kids, Greene said that books by Stephen Weinberg, Leonard Susskind, and other physicists, “make it a great time for people who want to learn about big ideas but aren’t yet ready, perhaps, to learn math.”
When I pointed out that some students still might find physics boring, Greene said that the key is to teach them about things that are strange. “The basic stuff is important” Greene said. “But I think it’s really important to also describe the more modern ideas, things like black holes and the Big Bang. If kids have those ideas in mind, then at least some of them will be excited to learn all the details.”
Greene has followed Albert Einstein’s lead in trying to solve the mysteries of the universe. Now he wants kids to do the same. As Greene said, physics is “not just a matter of solving problems in an exam”. It’s about experimenting, showing an interest in strange phenomena (现象) — and having fun!
24. A milliondollar question is probably very ________.
A．direct B．difficult C．personal D．long
25. The books by Weinberg and Susskind ________.
A．are boring to read B．are mainly about math
C．are popular science books D．are only popular among kids
26. According to Paragraph 4, which of the following does Greene agree with?
A．Modern physics is a boring subject.
B．Interest plays an important role in studying.
C．It is not necessary to learn all about physics.
D．It is easy to describe black holes and the Big Bang.
27. In the last paragraph, Greene hopes that ________.
A．kids can love science and physics B．kids can do well in physics exams
C．kids can have fun with experiments D．kids can find more strange things in life
C
The wish to capture (拍摄) the wonder of nature on a smart phone or camera is understandable. People like the beauty of nature and also want to share with their followers, friends and family, but our relationship with the outdoors should not be centered around social media. The “do it for the‘ gram'” thought needs to be reconsidered.
Social media has undoubtedly helped attract more visitors to wild places. There are both good and bad sides that come with an increased visitation to these sites. Visiting nature and observing wildlife can help people feel more connected to wild plants and animals. These experiences may encourage more protection of natural spaces.
Yet increased traffic to these sites has also caused them harm. Spaces that are ill-equipped to deal with too many visits experience environmental degradation, which in turn can endanger those who take photos by putting them in dangerous situations. Search and rescue cases have increased by 38% in the last few years in LA County, some of which were connected to adventurers trying to capture photos for their social media. Deadly falls in the outdoors can and should be avoided with less photographing for social media.
Recently, one highly visited natural site stopped photography-only tours. Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona, will no longer be allowing visits that are centered around cameras. Handheld phones will still be allowed, but large tripods (三角架) and monopods (独脚架) will not be. This is a great first step that should be brought to other natural settings, especially in places that have already been completely photographed by professionals (专业人士).
It is necessary to free ourselves from technology every once and a while. The unhealthy attachment to photography and social media feeds has created problems for humans and nature, and should be replaced with practicing mindfulness while in the outdoors.
28. People posting photos of nature on their social media helps _____.
A. show their photographing skills B. show their love for natural sites
C. increase the number of their fans D. encourage environmental protection
29. What has been the result of visitors taking photos of nature?
A. Serious traffic problems. B. Unnecessary travel costs.
C. Some unexpected deaths. D. Their watching fewer scenes.
30. What does the author suggest natural sites do?
A. Limit the number of visitors. B. Follow Antelope Canyon's lead.
C. Warn visitors to take fewer photos. D. Just allow professional photographing.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Learn from professional photographers
B. Nature will punish those who damage it
C. Photos of nature are popular on social media
D. Don't endanger yourself and nature for social media
D
If you wear glasses. Chances are you are smarter. Research published in the famous British journal Nature Communications has found that people who displayed higher levels of intelligence were almost 30 percent more likely to wear glasses.
The scientists studied the genes of thousands of people between the ages of 16 and 102.The study showed intelligence can be connected to physical characteristics. One characteristic was eyesight. In 3 out of 10 people who were more intelligent. There was a higher chance they needed glasses. Scientists also said being smarter has other benefits. It is connected to better health.
It is important to remember these are connections which are not proven causes. Scientists call this correlation. Just because something is connected to something else does not mean one of those things caused the other. And it’s worth noting that what constitutes intelligence is subjective and can be difficult, if not impossible, to measure.
Forget genes though. Plenty of proof shows wearing glasses makes people think you are more intelligent, even if you do not need glasses. A number of studies have found people who wear glasses are seen as smarter, hard-working and honest. Many lawyers use this idea to help win their cases. Lawyer Harvey Slovis explained this.” “Glasses soften their appearance.” he said. Sometimes there has been a huge amount of proof showing that people he was defending broke the law. He had them wear glasses and they weren’t found guilty.
Glasses are also used to show someone is intelligent in movies and on TV. Ideas about people who wear glasses have begun to shift. People who do not need glasses sometimes wear them for fashion only. They want to look worldly or cool. But not everyone is impressed by this idea, though. GQ magazine said people who wear glasses for fashion are trying too hard to look smart and hip (时髦的). However, that hasn’t stopped many celebrities from happily wearing glasses even if they do not need them. Justin Bieber is just one high-profile fan of fashion glasses.
32. What does the new study show?
A. Wearing glasses can make people cleverer.
B. Wearing glasses is associated with higher IQ.
C. People wearing glasses are smarter.
D. People wearing glasses are healthier.
33. What does the underlined word “correlation” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Effect. B. Proof. C. Link. D. Result.
34. Why do some lawyers ask their clients to wear glasses in court?
A. Because it can create a respected image.
B. Because it can mislead the witnesses.
C. Because it can highlight clients’ qualities.
D. Because it can prove the client’s innocence(无罪).
35. What is the general attitude to those who wear glasses for fashion?
A. Mixed. B. Positive. C. Negative D. Indifferent.

Walter John was a 20-year-old college student from Homewood, Alabama. As a young man in college far away from home, he didn’t have much money. He had to work part-time to cover his living costs.
Recently he gave up his part-time job in the fast-food business and found a new one at a home-moving company called Bellhops. The pay for his new job was higher, and John gained more flexibility(灵活性) with his hours, which allowed him to focus on his studies a bit more. He wanted to do everything he could to secure this new employment opportunity, so he thought he had to try his best to make sure that everything would go well on his first day!
But sometimes, life hits you unexpectedly. A day before John began his new job, his car broke down! With little money to his name, he couldn’t have his car repaired at the garage. None of his friends were able to take him to work. What was worse, the public transportation was not running at his working time. If he took a taxi, it would cost him half his salary. Therefore, he decided to walk to the company.
In order to get there by six in the morning, he thought that the safest way would be to leave at midnight. John even challenged himself to arrive there one hour earlier. Even though it seemed like such a far walk, John knew he was fit enough to do it. This was challenging, but John knew it was possible.
He grabbed his wallet and his phone and left his apartment. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he realized that walking alone in the dark at midnight can be dangerous. Moreover, he had to walk through a large wood as well as many blocks of the city. Therefore, he went back to take a bat (球棒) and a kitchen knife for safety purposes. In case a wild animal or some bad person attacked him, at least he would have something for protection.
注意：
- 续写词数应为 150 左右：
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已经为你写好。
Finally John started his long walk.__________________________________________
