Despite the lack of new releases due to the outbreak of COVID-19, there was no shortage of good films in 2020. We've rounded out the top 4 films. Check them out!
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. But just after a successful interview, he falls down a manhole and finds himself in a soul world where human spirits are assigned their personalities. And things get even stranger from there.
Nomadland
When Fern loses her husband and can't afford to live in a house, she packs her few belongings into a camper and drives off into the Nevada desert. She encounters a large community of senior citizens who have also been 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, nearly all she meets are real people who relate their own experiences. Written and directed by Chloe Zhao, the film is a combination of documentary and fiction.
The Croods: A New Age
The prehistoric family from 2013's hugely enjoyable cartoon, The Croods, directed by Joel Crawford, makes a welcome return, so we can expect more crazy adventures and unusual animals. In the much-delayed- sequel, they meet another family, the Bettermans, whose advanced lifestyle and technology make the Croods look even more primitive than they did already. There's conflict but they learn to appreciate each other's differences.
Wolfwalkers
The year's finest cartoon film comes from Cartoon Saloon, an Irish studio specialising in stylised hand-drawn 2D art. Its latest production is set in the mid-17th Century, when English soldiers are trying to occupy the wild woods. One hunter's daughter meets with a girl wolfwalker and they make joint efforts to rescue the forest.

Rocky immediately swam to Rita and held her by the shoulder's clothes with his mouth. Rita's face was quickly out of the water and she could cough.Luckily,the water was calm,they were not far from the bank,and Rocky finally reached a depth where his feet were on solid ground.

Blue Planet II’s latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.
Though it seems now that the world couldn’t possibly function without plastics, consumer plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.
We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don’t really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.
And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet energy system.
This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single — use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag — when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.
8. What’s the function of the author mentioning Blue Planet II’s latest episode in the first paragraph
A. It serves as a comment. B. It serves as a lead-in.
C. It serves as a background. D. It serves as a conclusion.
9. Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science
A. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.
B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.
C. The world couldn’t possibly function without plastics.
D. The plastics pollution research is too difficult.
10. How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3
A. By using examples from his own experience. B. By quotations from leading experts.
C. By statistics. D. By comparison and contrast.
11. What is the main idea of this passage
A. Ocean plastic is a global issue. B. Plastics gain in popularity all over the world.
C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken. D. The oceans become choked with plastic.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲了海洋被塑料堵塞了，我们人类应该如何解决这个问题。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Blue Planet II’s latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs.

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science. (这种增长速度如此之快，以至于科学仍在追赶变化。 例如，塑料污染研究仍然是一门非常早期的科学)”可知，塑料污染研究仍然是一门非常早期的科学因为塑料的普及速度太快，以至于科学无法跟上。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don’t really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent. (我们把所有这些塑料投入到环境中，但我们仍然不知道会产生什么结果。然而，我们所知道的是令人不安的。据估计，海洋塑料每年会杀死数百万的海洋动物。据了解，包括濒临绝种的海龟在内，有三分之一的棱皮龟经常误以为塑料袋是水母。目前，90%的海鸟经常吃塑料制品。2050年，这一数字有望上升到100%)”可推知，作者是通过统计数据的方法来支持自己的观点。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.(研究人员最近还发现，生活在地球最深处的马里亚纳海沟的海洋生物的胃里有塑料。事实上，海洋正在被塑料淹没)”结合这篇文章主要讲了海洋被塑料堵塞了，我们人类应该如何解决这个问题。由此可知，这篇文章主要讲了海洋被塑料堵塞了。故选D。
D
According to a survey, the waste of food on the dining table occupies 10% of the total grain output. Last week Meituan co-published a proposal with a number of business organizations, calling on restaurants to stop food waste and help develop new eating habits for customers. “Restaurants should use official accounts on social media and live-streaming to promote and advocate food-saving actions,” the proposal said.
Meituan and the organizations are advocating that merchants offer guidance for consumers, including reminding them during the ordering process about the taste of the ingredients, portion sizes and other information about the dishes, to help them avoid food waste due to misleading information.
Catering associations in more than 18 provinces have also joined the campaign to remove food waste. The Wuhan Catering Association proposed an “N-1” ordering code for restaurants in which a group of 10 diners would only order enough for nine people. More food is only brought to the table if required. It has inspired people to rethink their relationship with food and waste.
On Friday, the China Cuisine Association announced that it had teamed up with Ele. me, a food delivery platform, to launch a “ half-dish plan", encouraging restaurants to provide customers with the option to order smaller portions. Besides, customers are encouraged to take their leftovers home.
To reduce food waste on social media platforms, some popular video platforms have stepped up content reviews of food-related live streams and implemented regulation of online eating shows. Now, if users search certain keywords, such as “eating show" or “competitive eaters", a cautionary message pops up to remind them to cherish food and keep a reasonable diet.
12. What is the purpose of the proposal mentioned in the passage
A. To monitor food sales on social media and live-streaming.
B. To expand the business and competitive ability of Meituan.
C. To encourage restaurants to take measures to reduce food waste.
D. To promote cooperation between Meituan and other organizations.
13. How is Paragraph 3 developed
A. By doing a survey. B. By offering analysis.
C. By making comparisons. D. By giving an example.
14. What is the suggestion for consumers in the passage
A. Purchasing their favorite food. B. Buying proper amounts of food.
C. Following some competitive eaters. D. Leaving their leftovers in the restaurant.
15. What does the underlined phrase “pops up” in the last paragraph mean
A. Appears unexpectedly. B. Spreads widely.
C. Moves quickly. D. Fades slowly.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】

Reading poetry can be challenging, but learning how to carefully move through a poem is also very rewarding,____16____ But, by following the tips below, anyone can have the deeply rewarding experience of connecting to a great poem.
Sound abounds (有许多). Poetry is made to be heard. You're probably familiar with rhyming poems：roses are red, violets are blue. . . but there are many sound elements that poets use not only to make the poem sound beautiful, but to enhance the meaning or intention of a poem. ____17____What do you notice about how it sounds How does the sound enhance an overall theme, mood, or message
____18____Many poems may use words or reference places or times in history that may be unfamiliar to you. Be curious enough to look up all the words and references that you're unfamiliar with. You should also gather information about the poet, what was happening in their lives, and what was going on in the world around them. All of these can offer essential context to bring the poem to life.
Analyze the figurative (比喻的) language in the poem. Figurative language could be words that are repeated often in the poem or words that rhyme in each stanza (节). To get more into the figurative meaning of the poem, you should look at how the poet use literary devices like metaphor, simile, and imagery. ____19____
Finally, you don't have to understand it to engage with it and enjoy it If you like the way a poem sounds when you read it aloud, but don't know what it “means," that's OK! ____20____The great thing about art is that it can have lots of different meanings or seemingly no meaning at all and can still be enjoyed. The same goes for poetry.
A. Curiosity kills the confusion.
B. Look up the words you do not understand.
C. They are often used to add deeper meaning to the poem.
D. Maybe it makes sense in a way that you can't necessarily express.
E. Once you find a poem that interests you, read it out loud several times.
F. You should also pay attention to how the poet opens and closes the poem.
G. Unlike painting and music, poetry requires a little extra effort to harvest its full effects.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. A 19. C 20. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了如何来体验阅读诗歌带来的好处。
16题详解】
结合前文“Reading poetry can be challenging, but learning how to carefully move through a poem is also very rewarding.”（阅读诗歌是一种挑战，但学习如何仔细阅读诗歌也是非常有益的。）后文“by following the tips below, anyone can have the deeply rewarding experience of connecting to a great poem.”（按照下面的提示，任何人都可以拥有与一首伟大诗歌联系在一起的深刻体验。）可知，要体会到诗歌的益处是需要一些技巧的，所以空白处要填的为要体会到诗歌带来的好处是需要努力，才能获得它的全部效果。选项G.“Unlike painting and music, poetry requires a little extra effort to harvest its full effects.”（与绘画和音乐不同，诗歌需要一点额外的努力，来获得它的全部效果。）符合题意，故选G。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Poetry is made to be heard. ”（诗歌就是为了被人听见而创作的。）后文“What do you notice about how it sounds How does the sound enhance an overall theme, mood, or message ”（你注意到它听起来怎么样了吗 声音是如何增强整个主题、情绪或信息的？）可知，此处是指你把诗歌读出来，这样你才能注意到它听起来怎么样。选项E.“Once you find a poem that interests you, read it out loud several times.”（一旦你发现一首你感兴趣的诗，大声读几遍。）符合题意，故选E。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Be curious enough to look up all the words and references that you're unfamiliar with.”（有足够的好奇心去查阅所有你不熟悉的单词和参考资料。）可知，谈到了好奇心对查阅不熟悉的单词和参考资料的意义。因而本段应围绕好奇心展开。选项A.“Curiosity kills the confusion.”（好奇心消除困惑。）选项中Curiosity 与段中的curious 相一致，故选A。
【19题详解】
根据前文“To get more into the figurative meaning of the poem, you should look at how the poet use literary devices like metaphor, simile, and imagery. ”（为了进一步了解这首诗的比喻意义，你应该看看诗人如何运用文学手法，比如隐喻，明喻和意象。）可知，接下来可以描述的为使用这些文学手法的意义。选项C.“They are often used to add deeper meaning to the poem.”（它们经常被用来为诗歌增添更深层的意义。）选项中they指代上文提到的文学手法，符合题意，故选C。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Finally, you don't have to understand it to engage with it and enjoy it If you like the way a poem sounds when you read it aloud, but don't know what it “means," that's OK!”（最后，如果你大声朗读一首诗时喜欢它的发音，但是不知道它的“意思”，没关系！）后文“The great thing about art is that it can have lots of different meanings or seemingly no meaning at all and can still be enjoyed. The same goes for poetry.”（艺术的伟大之处在于，它可以有很多不同的意义，或者看起来根本没有意义，而且仍然可以被欣赏。诗歌也是一样。）可知，你不理解诗歌，也可以享受它。诗歌的意义是欣赏，在于享受。因此空白处填的内容为诗歌的意义也许在某种程度上，你无法表达出来。选项D.“Maybe it makes sense in a way that you can't necessarily express.”（也许在某种程度上，你无法表达出来。）符合题意，故选D。

Nowadays many young parents are addicted in their electric devices like smartphones or computers, pay less or no attention to their kids.
Then what does it come about Admittedly, the smartphone indeed dramatic changes our life. With it, people can do nearly everything we want, such as surfing the Internet for information, watching films or video, doing some online shopping and playing games as well. Thus, a smartphone serves as platform for them to get fun in a comfortable and convenient way. As a result, more and more young parents are being attracted.
However, something can replace face-to-face communication between parents and kids, which requires parents to think about the real meaning of life, spends more time with their children and have fun together. Only in this way can a better parent-child relationship will be developed.
【答案】1. in→to/into；2.pay→paying；3.what→how；4. dramatic→dramatically；5.we→they；6.video→videos；7.在as后加a；8.something→nothing；9.spends→spend；10.去掉最后一句中的will。
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。如今，许多年轻的父母沉迷于他们的电子设备，很少或根本不关心他们的孩子。然而，没有什么可以代替父母和孩子之间面对面的交流，这需要父母思考生活的真正意义，花更多的时间和他们的孩子在一起玩。
【详解】1.考查固定词组。句意：如今，许多年轻的父母沉迷于他们的电子设备，如智能手机或电脑，很少或根本不关心他们的孩子。固定词组：be addicted to/into“对……上瘾”。故把in改成to/into。
2.考查现在分词做伴随状语。句意：如今，许多年轻的父母沉迷于他们的电子设备，如智能手机或电脑，很少或根本不关心他们的孩子。句子主语parents和pay之间是一种主动关系，是现在分词做伴随状语，故把pay改成paying。
3.考查特殊疑问词。句意：那它是怎么发生的呢 此处come about“形成，产生”，相当于及物动词，不能跟宾语，这里缺少状语“如何，怎么”。故把what改成how。
4.考查副词。句意：无可否认，智能手机确实极大地改变了我们的生活。此处changes是动词，由副词修饰，故把dramatic改成dramatically。
5.考查人称代词。句意：人们几乎可以做任何他们想做的事情，比如上网查找信息，看电影或视频，网上购物和玩游戏。此处用they代替people，故把we改成they。
6.考查名词复数。句意：人们几乎可以做任何他们想做的事情，比如上网查找信息，看电影或视频，网上购物和玩游戏。根据films可知与之并列的video也用名词复数。故把video改成videos。
7.考查不定冠词。句意：智能手机为他们提供了一个舒适方便的娱乐平台。此处指提供了“一个”平台。故在as后加a。
8.考查不定代词。句意：然而，没有什么可以代替父母和孩子之间面对面的交流，这需要父母思考生活的真正意义，花更多的时间和他们的孩子在一起玩。结合句意，此处指“没有什么”能替代，用不定代词nothing。故把something改成nothing。
9.考查动词不定式做宾语补足语。句意：然而，没有什么可以代替父母和孩子之间面对面的交流，这需要父母思考生活的真正意义，花更多的时间和他们的孩子在一起玩。固定搭配：require sb. to do sth.“需要某人做某事”。此处是动词不定式做宾语补足语，与to think构成并列关系。故把.spends→spend。
10.考查情态动词的用法。句意：只有这样才能发展出更好的亲子关系。此处Only加状语in this way位于句子开头句子用部分倒装，情态动词can已经放在主语前面，所以will是多余的，故把去掉最后一句中的will。
【点睛】“only+状语”位于句首时的倒装：当一个状语受副词only的修饰且置于句首时，其后用部分倒装语序： 如：Only then did he realize that he was wrong. 到那时他才意识到他错了。

【分析】本书面表达考查提纲类作文。
【详解】整体来看，今年山东卷作文难度不大，沿袭了山东卷提纲类书信体作文的传统，题干依然保持“字数虽少，但信息量不小”的特点，写作试题的考查上体现了命题人稳中求变和创新的原则。
今年山东卷考查的书信类型，而为了考查考生审题能力，命题人并没有把如“感谢”、“道歉”、“建议”、“申请”等明显的字眼放在题中，而是通过考查学生对题干的审题能力暗示学生此书信体作文应大体包含道歉和告知两个方面。因此文章的主干部分要先表示歉意、解释原因，后写假期的打算。
从写作要点和得分点来看，考生应在宏观上把握书信体写作的要求，如格式、文体等，写作段落以三段式为宜，首段体现问候、写信背景等，尾段再次致歉、也可询问Tom暑假里的打算，体现书信体的交际性；而中间段具体交待未及时回信的原因、假期的打算。考生在微观层面上应具体把握写作的内容和语言，做到句子之间有效的连接，长短句结合，多用doing及物做主语，句子加半句原因、结果、目的等具体细节的解释、利用简单而有效的中文思路扩展英文细节。考生若能在写作部分做到内容充实符合要求、语言精彩与众不同、结构清晰一目了然，相信这样的文章能让考生获得一个相对满意的成绩。
【点睛】此范文表达流畅，语言优美，内容全面，符合题目要求。其中值得学习的句型有：不定式作目的状语：To start with, doing a part-time job is my dream and I intend to work as a salesman because not only can I earn money by myself, but also it will broaden my horizons. 非谓语动词和定语从句：What is more, doing voluntary work, I think, will make a great contribution to the society, which is able to enrich my life.
【2014考生备考建议】
高考写作题目重在考查学生对英语语言的运用，建议新高三的考生能够树立学习写作的意识，加强课上课后的练习，总结常见的写作方法，在考试当中体现应有的实力。
【考点定位】今年的书面表达题目延续山东省一贯的提纲作文命题习惯，时隔一年之后重新回到“书信题”的大框架中，考了一篇“以道歉信为外衣，以活动安排为主体段”的提纲作文，相当于10年山东卷(道歉信)和07年四川卷(假期安排)和合体。这种作文是我们平时经常练习的，因此套路很完善、套话很丰富。此外，本文中需要同学们翻译的难句不多，因此，只要在备考过程中有意识地了解过高考英语作文的提分方法，掌握了常用的亮点词汇、加分句型和过渡词，并加以针对性训练，这道题目应该不难写。
【经典套路】第一段：问候+写信背景+写信目的
第二段：“道歉”部分(相当于“写信背景”)
第三段：“假期安排”部分
第四段：补充说明+客套话鹤岗一中高三10月月考英语试题

Rocky was a 65-pound dog. Rita was his eleven-year old owner. When Rocky was given to her, Rita immediately liked him. Whenever she was not in school,the two were always together and within touching distance. The family would lovingly call the pair “R and R”.
But Rocky had one shortcoming. He feared water very much because of a terrible experience. When he was at the age of seven weeks long before he met Rita,he was nearly drowned by a naughty boy who had been blamed by his father.
One late afternoon, Rita's mother took R and R to a shopping area near a lake. Rita was running along the wooden bridge over the water,enjoying the beautiful scenery around. Suddenly a boy on a bicycle hit Rita. She let out a cry of pain and fell into the lake.
Rita's mother was at the entrance of a store not far away. She rushed to the lake shouting for help. Rocky seemed to forget his fear and jumped into the water to save his owner. Rocky immediately swam to Rita and held her by the shoulder's clothes with his mouth. Rita's face was quickly out of the water and she could cough.Luckily,the water was calm,they were not far from the bank,and Rocky finally reached a depth where his feet were on solid ground. He pulled Rita hard until her head was completely out of the water, and then he stood beside her, licking (舔) her face.

Blue Planet II’s latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.
Though it seems now that the world couldn’t possibly function without plastics, consumer plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.
We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don’t really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.
And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet energy system.
This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single — use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag — when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.
8. What’s the function of the author mentioning Blue Planet II’s latest episode in the first paragraph
A. It serves as a comment. B. It serves as a lead-in.
C. It serves as a background. D. It serves as a conclusion.
9. Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science
A. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.
B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.
C. The world couldn’t possibly function without plastics.
D. The plastics pollution research is too difficult.
10. How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3
A. By using examples from his own experience. B. By quotations from leading experts.
C. By statistics. D. By comparison and contrast.
11. What is the main idea of this passage
A. Ocean plastic is a global issue. B. Plastics gain in popularity all over the world.
C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken. D. The oceans become choked with plastic.
D
According to a survey, the waste of food on the dining table occupies 10% of the total grain output. Last week Meituan co-published a proposal with a number of business organizations, calling on restaurants to stop food waste and help develop new eating habits for customers. “Restaurants should use official accounts on social media and live-streaming to promote and advocate food-saving actions,” the proposal said.
Meituan and the organizations are advocating that merchants offer guidance for consumers, including reminding them during the ordering process about the taste of the ingredients, portion sizes and other information about the dishes, to help them avoid food waste due to misleading information.
Catering associations in more than 18 provinces have also joined the campaign to remove food waste. The Wuhan Catering Association proposed an “N-1” ordering code for restaurants in which a group of 10 diners would only order enough for nine people. More food is only brought to the table if required. It has inspired people to rethink their relationship with food and waste.
On Friday, the China Cuisine Association announced that it had teamed up with Ele. me, a food delivery platform, to launch a “ half-dish plan", encouraging restaurants to provide customers with the option to order smaller portions. Besides, customers are encouraged to take their leftovers home.
To reduce food waste on social media platforms, some popular video platforms have stepped up content reviews of food-related live streams and implemented regulation of online eating shows. Now, if users search certain keywords, such as “eating show" or “competitive eaters", a cautionary message pops up to remind them to cherish food and keep a reasonable diet.
12. What is the purpose of the proposal mentioned in the passage
A. To monitor food sales on social media and live-streaming.
B. To expand the business and competitive ability of Meituan.
C. To encourage restaurants to take measures to reduce food waste.
D To promote cooperation between Meituan and other organizations.
13. How is Paragraph 3 developed
A. By doing a survey. B. By offering analysis.
C. By making comparisons. D. By giving an example.
14. What is the suggestion for consumers in the passage
A. Purchasing their favorite food. B. Buying proper amounts of food.
C. Following some competitive eaters. D. Leaving their leftovers in the restaurant.
15. What does the underlined phrase “pops up” in the last paragraph mean
A. Appears unexpectedly. B. Spreads widely.
C. Moves quickly. D. Fades slowly.

Sound abounds (有许多). Poetry is made to be heard.

____18____Many poems may use words or reference places or times in history that may be unfamiliar to you. Be curious enough to look up all the words and references that you're unfamiliar with. You should also gather information about the poet, what was happening in their lives, and what was going on in the world around them. All of these can offer essential context to bring the poem to life.
