Belw, find fur f the very best fall mvies -- which are nt necessarily mvies set in the fall, but which represent fall in sme way -- t get yu thrugh t December.
When Harry Met Sally...(1989)
When I think f fall, I autmatically picture Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal walking thrugh a leaf-strewn Central Park and talk abut Sally's ultimate sexual fantasy. The film cycles thrugh varius seasns, but it feels brightest and mst alive in fall, making it the perfect thing t get yu thrugh a frustrating Nvember afternn.
Autumn in New Yrk (2000)
I mean... hw culd I nt include this ne? Title aside, this Winna Ryder features many f the things I mst as sciate with fall, including Central Park, small museums, and a wman dressed up as Emily Dickinsn. We lve t see it and cry at it.
The Ryal Tenenhaums (2001)
There's simply n film character wh represents the cncept f autumn quite like Margt Tenenbaum. Her seasnally apprpriate clipped hair, charming eyes, and wardrbe f primarily brwns all but scream ut the reasn fr the seasn; and while signature fur cat might seem mre winter near, her fndness fr pairing it with Lacste pl dresses is fall all the way. In what ther seasn can yu wear a cat with a dress, lgically speaking?
Mna Lisa Smile(2003)
I'm actually an enthusiastic advcate f watching this Julia Rberts/Julia Stiles/Kirsten Dunst trifecta(三强联袂) in any seasn, but watching it in fall will make yu desire a well-knitted sweater and a therms f tea t take alng with yu while yu cheer fr the bys at the Harvard-Yale game.

C. All f them were sht befre 2000. D. All display the beauty f different seasns.

It might have been a really bad stressful day, feeling trapped inside by the cld and snw which surrunded us. My husband was the first t shift his cnsciusness. He dressed accrdingly and annunced that he was ging utside t build a giant snwman.
At first he std alne, piling massive amunts f snw. Sn after a neighbr jined in my husband's pursuit t embrace the pprtunity the winter presented. Maintaining less than desirable attitude, we unwillingly put n ur snw equipment and headed utside. It wasn't lng befre we were smiling and enjying the snw that Mther Nature had prvided. Others came t ur yard ne by ne t give a hand in the making f ur giant snwman.
In the end we all std back, amazed at what we had created. He was eleven feet high, twenty-five feet arund at the base and decrated with many husehld items supplied by varius families. There he std, ur glrius, enrmus snwman.
Peple drve by and smiled. Sme even stpped t enjy his existence. The spirit that went int creating him seemed t catch n and we all enjyed it while the cld temperatures permitted.
With the passing f time, the spring made its way back int ur yard and the snwman changed frm cnsiderably. In a final effrt t save what we created fr just a little bit lnger, smebdy stpped by and changed the snwman's remains t lk like a rabbit.
As I prepared fr the start f anther week, I decided t check my email befre ging t bed. I fund a curius message that cntained the subject line: enjy the snwman. I decided t read the message even thugh I did nt recgnize wh sent it. The wrds it cntained melted my heart.
The email said: …yur neighbr lk sn in disbelief! I am sure yu peple are enjying the sunds and smells, alng with sights f spring. The energy displayed in Mr. Snwman r Ms, is filled with jyus energy. Yu and yur family keep it up, as this is what the wrld needs nw. Lve sweet lve. Mre pwer t yu and yur lved nes, keep sharing with the wrld arund.
Perhaps it was mre than snwman we built that day. I'd like t agree that it was. The message seems clear. Our circumstances will turn ut t be what we make f them. The pssibilities are endless and the chice is urs.
24. Why did her husband want t make a snwman?

C. The writer didn't apprve f her husband's ging ut.

In a respnse t the threat psed by rising sea levels, Suth Krea shwed the wrld's first mdel f sustainable flating city in Busan.
“Sea level rise pses a threat fr sme small islands and sme lw-lying casts,” says a recent reprt. The glbal sea level has risen by eight t nine inches since 1880. What's mre frightening is that ne-third f the rise in sea level happened in the last 25 years.
The flating city aims t prvide technlgy fr castal cities facing severe land shrtages that are cmbined by climatic threats. The city will serve as the “wrld’s first mdel sustainable flating city” aiming t be “a structure that rises with the sea” supplying its wn fd, energy and water.
The flating city has six cmbined systems: zer waste and circular systems, clsed-lp water systems, fd, net-zer energy, innvative mvement, and castal habitat regeneratin. These intercnnected systems will generate 100 percent f the required energy thrugh flating and rftp phtvltaic panels(光伏板).
Each neighbrhd will treat and refill its wn water, prcess and recycle resurces, and prvide innvative urban agriculture. The flating city is the wrld's first mdel f a sustainable flating cmmunity. The intercnnected neighbrhds spread acrss 6.3 hectares that can hld a cmmunity f12,000 peple. Starting frm a cmmunity f 3 platfrms with 12,000 residents and visitrs, it has the ptential t expand t mre than 20 platfrms. The flating platfrms have dzens f prductive statins with phtvltaic panels and greenhuses that can expand and cntract(收缩) ver time based n the city's needs.
“I take seriusly ur cmmitment ‘ The First t the Future’. Our cmmn future is at risk in the face f sea level rise and its impact n castal cities,” said Busan Mayr Park Heng-jn, wh has set a schedule, including turning Busan int a green smart city and cmpete fr Wrld Exp 2030.
This is as frightening as it is exciting t reach such an achievement, but living in a city that is like the cmmunities where peple try t survive in the mvie Water Wrld is kind f unhappy.
32. Why des Suth Krea build the flating city?
A. T deal with the sea level rise. B. T develp the sustainable energy.
C. T increase the land t grw plants. D. T help reduce the glbal temperature.
33. What can we knw abut the flating city?
A. It desn't need agriculture. B. It has six separate systems.
C. It prduces energy by rftp. D. It can prvide almst everything by itself.
34. What is Paragraph 5 mainly abut?
A. Hw the flating city will perate in its way.
B. Hw many peple the flating city will hld.
C. Hw the flating city will prduce its energy.
D. Hw the flating city will recycle its resurces.
35. What might be the best title fr the passage?
A. Busan witnesses sea level rise. B. Rising sea level threatens Busan.
C. Living in a flating city is exciting. D. The first flating city is n the way.

In English it's cmmn t say, “I knw this twn like the back f my hand!” While we may knw ur twns really well, hw well d we actually knw ur hands? 36
Matthew Lng and his team frm University Cllege Lndn studied the left hands f 100 peple. With their hands placed palms dwn under a bard, Lng’s team gave the instructin t pint t their knuckles(指关节) and fingertips with a marker pen. Hw did they d? Nt that well.
In the experiment, accrding t Lng, “peple think their hands are wider than they actually are.” 37 They were mst accurate when finding their thumbs, but became less accurate with each finger, up t their pinkies(小指).
“It is cnnected t ur sense f psitin,” explained Lng. Humans knw where different parts f ur bdies are, even if we can't see them. It tells us whether a jint (关节) is straight r nt. 38S the experiment the team cnducted was t find thse maps.
39 On the basis f the study, in ur brain's map, brains “see” areas based n ur sense f tuch. The strnger the sense f tuch in a specific bdy part is, the bigger that bdy part seems. An example is ur lips. As they have mre nerves than ur nses, ur brain's map shws ur lips are bigger. 40 If yu've ever had smething stuck in yur teeth, it prbably feels huge! That's because ur tngues als have lts f nerves.
A. Mre nerves, larger a bdy part seems.
B. Let's see hw ur humans knw ur bdy parts.
C. It's essential t the sizes and shapes f ur bdy.
D. Maybe nt quite as well as we think, said a scientific study.
E. The same can happen with bdy parts having a lt f nerves.
F. They als thught their fingers were shrter than their true lengths.
G. Our brains knw the bdy sizes and shapes frm the maps they make fr themselves.

Eight ’clck n a May mrning, and Mary, my 17-year-ld daughter, was in ur study upstairs. It had served as her classrm ever since schls mved t remte learning due t the COVID-19.
Frm the kitchen, I listened t the sund f her tapping n the laptp r her cmmunicating in their Ggle Meet sessin s with her friends and teachers. I resisted the desire t check n her. Way t ften, I wuld find Mary texting friends and cmmenting n their Snapchat and Instagram psts abut the fun they were having tgether. I felt it safer nt t care. After all, we'd barely left the huse fr 10 weeks straight.
“Mm, everyne is hanging ut tday!” Mary's vice came frm upstairs. “Why can't I?”I went up the stairs. Mary was lying n the flr, her laptp, schl iPad and cell phne in frnt f her. “It's unfair,” she said. “I have n ne I can be with. I can't wait until I'm 18. and can d what I want.”
We'd had this cnversatin befre. Still, I culdn't help but feel srry fr her. I was sick f islating(隔离) t. Even thugh Mary and I were at hme tgether mre than we had been in years, we might as well have been living in separate wrlds.
“Wanna watch Netflix later?” I asked. “Bake sme ckies?” “N, thanks.” Mary shk her head, as if the idea f ding smething tgether was quite beynd her. I was used t Mary's rejectin, but it still hurt. Teenage independence is healthy, but I wrried that if I didn't find a way t bnd with my girl sn, I might never be clse with her again. She'd be 18 in the fall and had already cnvinced herself she didn't need me anymre. Maybe she was right. N matter what I did, I culdn't seem t reach her. That evening, I lgged nt Facebk and saw a friend's family playing with their new kitten tgether. My mind went back t the difficult perid when I was in high schl and ur family mved t the new city. It was a gray tabby(虎斑猫) with which Mm surprised me that brightened my days and gt me thrugh that difficult, lnely time.
