The Best Free Movies on Amazon Prime Video
Here are some of the best free movies on Amazon Prime Video, sorted out for convenience.
Honey Bay
Written by Shia LaBeouf based on his own experiences of growing up, Honey Boy is a surprisingly heartfelt and influential movie. Describing the life of a former child actor who is addicted to alcohol, this semi-autobiographical work offers profound insight into the pain and pressure of a man forced to evolve in the public eye.
The Avengers
Start your hero’s journey all over again by rewatching the first Avengers movie. Of course, Disney has the most Marvel movies of any streaming service, so if you want to do a marathon, that’s the place to start. But if you didn’t subscribe to anything there and just want to relive the Battle of New York, then this is a great opportunity.
Eighth Grade
Director Bo Burnham and star Elsie Fisher timelessly reflected on growing up in this work. An occasionally painful yet consistently spectacular story told a 13-year-old girl’s final week of middle school, a chance to set the record straight and reimagine her future high school sell.
The Farewell
The star Awkwafina delivers an amazing performance in writer-director Lulu Wang’s attractive story of a granddaughter saying goodbye to her grandmother. Played by Zhao Shu-zhen, a mixture of comedy and heartbreak. The Farewell touches on timeless themes of pity and grief in a way that is both clever and moving.
21. Who wrote a film story according to his own life
A. Shia LaBeouf. B. Bo Burmham.
C. Elsie Fisher. D. Awkwafina.
22. Which movie will be preferred by a hero story fan
A. Honey Boy. B. The Farewell.
C. Eighth Grade. D. The Avengers.
23. What do we know about Eighth Grade
A. A teenager’s school life.

C. An old lady remembering her high school.
D. A granddaughter saying goodbye to her grandmother.
B
This year, several young athletes have shone brightly at the Beijing Winter Olympics, giving us a glimpse of their generation’s nature.
Obviously, the young generation is filled with “brave warriors” who want to challenge impossibilities and push boundaries. Freestyle skier Gu Ailing is a good example. After she finished strong in the first two jumps in the women’s free-ski Big Air event, it was certain that she could get a medal. But instead of taking heed of it, the 18-year-old skier pushed herself to the limit. On the last jump, Gu decided to attempt a difficult trick: a left double cork 1620—four and a half rotations in the air—before landing. “I have never done the ‘left 16’ before. I hadn’t prepared much for it apart from two days on the air bag,” Gu told China Daily, “but I felt it was a chance.”
But for these young Chinese athletes, the sport is never just about scores, but also about having as much fun as possible.
Born in the US, Gu faced criticism and doubts for representing China in the Beijing Winter Olympics. When questioned by The Guardian, the girl said bluntly she wasn’t trying to make everyone happy. “I’m an 18-year-old girl out here living my best life. I’m having a great time.” Gu said. “It doesn’t really matter if other people are happy or not, because I feel I’ m doing my best and I’m enjoying the entire process.”
Gu’s good friend, Chinese snowboarder Su Yiming also shares a similar attitude. He takes sports as a way to have fun. After he was judged to have lost the gold to Canadian athlete Max Parrot in the men’s slopestyle final, the 17-year-old didn’t feel upset. Instead, he was happy to have the chance to compete with his idol.
“When I was on the podium hugging Max Parrot, it felt unreal,” Su told China Daily. “All I did today was enjoy the runs and concentrate on my tricks. As long as I am on my snowboard I am happy.”
24. The phrase “taking heed of it” underlined in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ______.
A. playing it safe B. taking a risk
C. avoiding mistakes D. taking part in it
25. What can we know about Gu Ailing according to the text
A. She didn’t perform well. B. She is a post-00.
C. She was an American. D. She isn’t easy-going.
26. Who got the gold medal in the men’s slopestyle final
A. Not mentioned. B. Gu Ailing.
C. Su Yiming. D. Max Parrot.
27. What does the reporter mainly want to convey in this text
A. The young generation holds the same attitude.
B. Young athletes show the nature of the young generation.
C. Young Chinese dare to push the limits but also enjoy their career.
D. All the young athletes have shone brightly at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
C
Chinese astronauts conducted a science lecture to millions of students on Dec. 9, 2021 from the Tiangong space station. The three astronauts, Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, showed life in space and conducted experiments in microgravity.
It was the first lecture of the Tiangong Class, China’s first extraterrestrial (地球外的) lecture series. Its goal is to popularize space science.
“The laboratory of the space station has many conditions that the Earth laboratory does not have, such as the environment of weightlessness and radiation,” said Wen Xin, a professor at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He said that important jobs for astronauts in the space station include cell observation and maintaining plant life.
In the lecture, Ye demonstrated experiments related to cell growth in a weightless environment. He compared the growth and shape of cells in artificial gravity and zero-gravity to study their changing principles in space.
Another experiment in the space lecture was shown by Wang Yaping. She illustrated how a paper flower “bloomed” on the surface of water in Tiangong space station. She explained that the surface tension of water is magnified (放大) in space due to zero gravity.
One of the examples of surface tension on Earth is that some insects can “walk” on water. They use surface tension to “stand” instead of falling through water.
Surface tension plays a key role in product development. Researchers around the world are measuring surface tension to improve the quality of their products, according to Biolin Scientific, a science company. Paints are tailored to stick better on the surfaces they are applied to. Surface tension also has impacts in drug development.
Although the astronauts are thousands of miles away, their research does influence our life. Shi Yi, a teacher at the Beijing No. 101 Middle School, told China Daily that the space lecture was “an eye-opening experience that would arouse students’ interest in science”.
28. What makes the space laboratory special
A. It is operated by a professor.
B. It has a unique experiment environment.
C. It broadcasts experiments to students.
D. It promotes cell growth.
29. What can we learn through Ye’s cell experiment in space
A. The rules of cell growth.
B. The secret in a weightless environment.
C. The conditions of cell growth.
D. The differences between the universe and the earth.
30. What can we say about surface tension
A. It can speed up flower blooming. B. It is related to product quality.
C. Paints have an influence on it. D. Drugs are used to measure it.
31. Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A. Special Laboratory Environments B. Examples of Surface Tension
C. Learning from Space D. Lectures about Cells
D
Think back to when you were in a maths classroom, and the teacher set a difficult problem. Which of the two following responses is closer to the way you reacted
A: Oh no, this is too hard for me. I’m not even going to seriously try and work it out.
B: Ah, this is quite tricky, but I like to push myself. Even if I don’t get the answer right, maybe I’ll learn something in the attempt.
Early in her career, the psychologist Carol Dweck of Stanford University gave a group of ten-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them. One group reacted positively and loved the challenge. She says they had a ‘growth mindset’ and are focused on what they can achieve in the future. But another group of children felt that their intelligence was being judged and they had failed. They had a ‘fixed mindset’ and were unable to imagine improving. Some of them looked for someone who had done worse than them to boost their self-esteem.
Professor Dweck believes that there is a problem in education at the moment. For years, children have been praised for their intelligence or talent, but this makes them vulnerable (脆弱的) to failure. They become performance-oriented, wanting to please by getting high grades, but they are not interested in learning for its own sake. The solution, according to Dweck, is to lead them to become mastery-oriented (i.e., interested in getting better at something). She claims that the ever-lasting effort over time is the key to outstanding achievement.
Psychologists have been testing these theories. Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation were exposed to growth mindset techniques for a year. The results were nothing less than incredible. They came top in regional tests, beating children from much more privileged backgrounds. These children had previously felt that making an effort was a sign of stupidity, but they came to see it as the key to learning.
32. What can we learn about a person if his answer is closer to “B”
A. He is performance-oriented.
B. He tends to set limits to his life.
C. He enjoys the process and focuses on the future.
D. He boosts his self-esteem by comparing with others.
33. Which of the following suggestions will Professor Dweck give to parents and teachers
A. To reward children for their high grades.
B. To emphasize the importance of intelligence.
C. To ignore the result brought by failure.
D. To praise children for their engagement in the process.
34. What does “These children” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Children showing no interest in learning.
B. Children who use fixed mindset techniques.
C. Children from much more privileged backgrounds.
D. Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation.
35. Why does the author write the text
A. To distinguish growth mindset and fixed mindset.
B. To inform readers of the importance of fixed mindset.
C. To show several psychological study results.
D. To point out a problem in education at the moment.

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。
Technology is here to stay. 36 . However, they are often unsure on how to help children use technology responsibly and keep a balance between online and offline time. Here are some tips.
Have a device contract
Having a device usage contract allows parents and children to work through what responsible technology usage looks like in your family and ensure that everyone is aware. 37 . Kids are more likely to make sense of the reasons you have for restriction.
38
Although this tip seems like common sense, it is often difficult due to the demand of work and the expectation of being constantly connected. By ensuring you build offline time into your own day and communicate that with your children, they will see the value and benefits. Whether you are reading a book or just taking a walk, letting your children be aware of your offline actions will encourage them to do the same!
Encourage non-tech activities
One great way to keep kids off their screens is to ensure that they have other activities to fill their time. 39 . These activities are also great ways to help children to develop their social skills and confidence.
Tech-free family time
Once a week, pencil-in a “tech-free family time” in your schedule. It can be a meal or trip. To help increase the success of outings, try designing special activities, i. e., going to the beach to build a sand castle that looks the same as a photo you have found online. 40 .
Model good technology use
Communicate with children
A little extra planning goes a long way
The contract is helpful to the settlement of conflicts
Parents are seeing more technology in their homes and jobs
Also, drafting the contract together promotes understanding
This can come in a variety of forms: soccer, fencing and more

Dear David,
How is everything going with you Learning from your last letter that you are curious about the celebration plan for the coming Dragon Boat Festival, I am writing this letter to inform you of the details.
First, falling on May fifth in Chinese lunar calendar, the Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated as a special moment in memory of a patriotic poet, Quyuan. What’s more, not only will we launch Dragon Boat racing, but also we will eat Zongzi, a kind of food designed for this day. You can participate in these various entertaining and meaningful activities, which help you have a deeper understanding of Chinese culture.
Any further questions on this matter are welcomed and I hold the belief that we will have a good time.

M: Yes, at least that’s done. In fact, it should be published sometime next month.
W: Do you think you’ll be given time to eat tonight or will you have to spend the entire evening answering questions
M: I might be asked to speak as soon as everyone sits down for dinner. In that case, I guess I’ll be pretty hungry when I get home.
W: Do you have any idea what time you’ll be finished
M: No.
W: Well, I’ll have something ready for you to eat. Can you catch the last bus Or maybe you should take a taxi.
M: Don’t worry, dear. That’s already been taken care of. The Computer Society is sending a car for me. It’s picking me up at the office at six and will bring me home after the meeting.

M: Pedal Power is a small charity based mainly in the UK. At Pedal Power, they collect second-hand bikes in the UK and send them to some of the poorest regions in the world. When they distribute bikes overseas, they don’t give them away for free. In order to continue operating they need to have a constant supply of bikes which they send out every six months. In August 2000, they simply ran out of money. It was a terrible situation. Fortunately, in October 2001 they won an Enterprise Award which helped them enormously.
Dan Pearman is the founder of Pedal Power. He got the idea of exporting bicycles to developing countries while he was in Ecuador. Dan Pearman went there in 1993 and he joined a voluntary organization. Where Dan Pearman lived in Ecuador was a rural area. His neighbor had the only bicycle in the village, whereas everyone else walked everywhere.
His neighbor’s business was very successful. For years Dan Pearman couldn’t understand why. Then he realized having a bike meant his neighbor could reach anywhere he liked without much trouble. Other local carpenters could only accept jobs nearby, so no matter how skilled they were, they could never do as many jobs as his neighbo

The Best Free Movies on Amazon Prime Video
Here are some of the best free movies on Amazon Prime Video, sorted out for convenience.
Honey Bay
Written by Shia LaBeouf based on his own experiences of growing up, Honey Boy is a surprisingly heartfelt and influential movie. Describing the life of a former child actor who is addicted to alcohol, this semi-autobiographical work offers profound insight into the pain and pressure of a man forced to evolve in the public eye.
The Avengers
Start your hero’s journey all over again by rewatching the first Avengers movie. Of course, Disney has the most Marvel movies of any streaming service, so if you want to do a marathon, that’s the place to start. But if you didn’t subscribe to anything there and just want to relive the Battle of New York, then this is a great opportunity.
Eighth Grade
Director Bo Burnham and star Elsie Fisher timelessly reflected on growing up in this work. An occasionally painful yet consistently spectacular story told a 13-year-old girl’s final week of middle school, a chance to set the record straight and reimagine her future high school sell.
The Farewell
The star Awkwafina delivers an amazing performance in writer-director Lulu Wang’s attractive story of a granddaughter saying goodbye to her grandmother. Played by Zhao Shu-zhen, a mixture of comedy and heartbreak. The Farewell touches on timeless themes of pity and grief in a way that is both clever and moving.
21. Who wrote a film story according to his own life
A. Shia LaBeouf. B. Bo Burmham.
C. Elsie Fisher. D. Awkwafina.
22. Which movie will be preferred by a hero story fan

D. A granddaughter saying goodbye to her grandmother.
B
This year, several young athletes have shone brightly at the Beijing Winter Olympics, giving us a glimpse of their generation’s nature.
Obviously, the young generation is filled with “brave warriors” who want to challenge impossibilities and push boundaries. Freestyle skier Gu Ailing is a good example. After she finished strong in the first two jumps in the women’s free-ski Big Air event, it was certain that she could get a medal. But instead of taking heed of it, the 18-year-old skier pushed herself to the limit. On the last jump, Gu decided to attempt a difficult trick: a left double cork 1620—four and a half rotations in the air—before landing. “I have never done the ‘left 16’ before. I hadn’t prepared much for it apart from two days on the air bag,” Gu told China Daily, “but I felt it was a chance.”
But for these young Chinese athletes, the sport is never just about scores, but also about having as much fun as possible.
Born in the US, Gu faced criticism and doubts for representing China in the Beijing Winter Olympics. When questioned by The Guardian, the girl said bluntly she wasn’t trying to make everyone happy. “I’m an 18-year-old girl out here living my best life. I’m having a great time.” Gu said. “It doesn’t really matter if other people are happy or not, because I feel I’ m doing my best and I’m enjoying the entire process.”
Gu’s good friend, Chinese snowboarder Su Yiming also shares a similar attitude. He takes sports as a way to have fun. After he was judged to have lost the gold to Canadian athlete Max Parrot in the men’s slopestyle final, the 17-year-old didn’t feel upset. Instead, he was happy to have the chance to compete with his idol.
“When I was on the podium hugging Max Parrot, it felt unreal,” Su told China Daily. “All I did today was enjoy the runs and concentrate on my tricks. As long as I am on my snowboard I am happy.”
24. The phrase “taking heed of it” underlined in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ______.
A. playing it safe B. taking a risk
C. avoiding mistakes D. taking part in it
25. What can we know about Gu Ailing according to the text
A. She didn’t perform well. B. She is a post-00.
C. She was an American. D. She isn’t easy-going.
26. Who got the gold medal in the men’s slopestyle final
A. Not mentioned. B. Gu Ailing.
C. Su Yiming. D. Max Parrot.
27. What does the reporter mainly want to convey in this text
A. The young generation holds the same attitude.
B. Young athletes show the nature of the young generation.
C. Young Chinese dare to push the limits but also enjoy their career.
D. All the young athletes have shone brightly at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
C
Chinese astronauts conducted a science lecture to millions of students on Dec. 9, 2021 from the Tiangong space station. The three astronauts, Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, showed life in space and conducted experiments in microgravity.
It was the first lecture of the Tiangong Class, China’s first extraterrestrial (地球外的) lecture series. Its goal is to popularize space science.
“The laboratory of the space station has many conditions that the Earth laboratory does not have, such as the environment of weightlessness and radiation,” said Wen Xin, a professor at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He said that important jobs for astronauts in the space station include cell observation and maintaining plant life.
In the lecture, Ye demonstrated experiments related to cell growth in a weightless environment. He compared the growth and shape of cells in artificial gravity and zero-gravity to study their changing principles in space.
Another experiment in the space lecture was shown by Wang Yaping. She illustrated how a paper flower “bloomed” on the surface of water in Tiangong space station. She explained that the surface tension of water is magnified (放大) in space due to zero gravity.
One of the examples of surface tension on Earth is that some insects can “walk” on water. They use surface tension to “stand” instead of falling through water.
Surface tension plays a key role in product development. Researchers around the world are measuring surface tension to improve the quality of their products, according to Biolin Scientific, a science company. Paints are tailored to stick better on the surfaces they are applied to. Surface tension also has impacts in drug development.
Although the astronauts are thousands of miles away, their research does influence our life. Shi Yi, a teacher at the Beijing No. 101 Middle School, told China Daily that the space lecture was “an eye-opening experience that would arouse students’ interest in science”.
28. What makes the space laboratory special
A. It is operated by a professor.
B. It has a unique experiment environment.
C. It broadcasts experiments to students.
D. It promotes cell growth.
29. What can we learn through Ye’s cell experiment in space
A. The rules of cell growth.
B. The secret in a weightless environment.
C. The conditions of cell growth.
D. The differences between the universe and the earth.
30. What can we say about surface tension
A. It can speed up flower blooming. B. It is related to product quality.
C. Paints have an influence on it. D. Drugs are used to measure it.
31. Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A. Special Laboratory Environments B. Examples of Surface Tension
C. Learning from Space D. Lectures about Cells
D
Think back to when you were in a maths classroom, and the teacher set a difficult problem. Which of the two following responses is closer to the way you reacted
A: Oh no, this is too hard for me. I’m not even going to seriously try and work it out.
B: Ah, this is quite tricky, but I like to push myself. Even if I don’t get the answer right, maybe I’ll learn something in the attempt.
Early in her career, the psychologist Carol Dweck of Stanford University gave a group of ten-year-olds problems that were slightly too hard for them. One group reacted positively and loved the challenge. She says they had a ‘growth mindset’ and are focused on what they can achieve in the future. But another group of children felt that their intelligence was being judged and they had failed. They had a ‘fixed mindset’ and were unable to imagine improving. Some of them looked for someone who had done worse than them to boost their self-esteem.
Professor Dweck believes that there is a problem in education at the moment. For years, children have been praised for their intelligence or talent, but this makes them vulnerable (脆弱的) to failure. They become performance-oriented, wanting to please by getting high grades, but they are not interested in learning for its own sake. The solution, according to Dweck, is to lead them to become mastery-oriented (i.e., interested in getting better at something). She claims that the ever-lasting effort over time is the key to outstanding achievement.
Psychologists have been testing these theories. Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation were exposed to growth mindset techniques for a year. The results were nothing less than incredible. They came top in regional tests, beating children from much more privileged backgrounds. These children had previously felt that making an effort was a sign of stupidity, but they came to see it as the key to learning.
32. What can we learn about a person if his answer is closer to “B”
A. He is performance-oriented.
B. He tends to set limits to his life.
C. He enjoys the process and focuses on the future.
D. He boosts his self-esteem by comparing with others.
33. Which of the following suggestions will Professor Dweck give to parents and teachers
A. To reward children for their high grades.
B. To emphasize the importance of intelligence.
C. To ignore the result brought by failure.
D. To praise children for their engagement in the process.
34. What does “These children” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Children showing no interest in learning.
B. Children who use fixed mindset techniques.
C. Children from much more privileged backgrounds.
D. Underperforming school children on a Native American reservation.
35. Why does the author write the text
A. To distinguish growth mindset and fixed mindset.
B. To inform readers of the importance of fixed mindset.
C. To show several psychological study results.
D. To point out a problem in education at the moment.

Technology is here to stay. 36 . However, they are often unsure on how to help children use technology responsibly and keep a balance between online and offline time. Here are some tips.
Have a device contract
Having a device usage contract allows parents and children to work through what responsible technology usage looks like in your family and ensure that everyone is aware. 37 . Kids are more likely to make sense of the reasons you have for restriction.
38
Although this tip seems like common sense, it is often difficult due to the demand of work and the expectation of being constantly connected. By ensuring you build offline time into your own day and communicate that with your children, they will see the value and benefits. Whether you are reading a book or just taking a walk, letting your children be aware of your offline actions will encourage them to do the same!
Encourage non-tech activities
One great way to keep kids off their screens is to ensure that they have other activities to fill their time. 39 . These activities are also great ways to help children to develop their social skills and confidence.
Tech-free family time
Once a week, pencil-in a “tech-free family time” in your schedule. It can be a meal or trip. To help increase the success of outings, try designing special activities, i. e., going to the beach to build a sand castle that looks the same as a photo you have found online. 40 .
Model good technology use
Communicate with children
A little extra planning goes a long way
The contract is helpful to the settlement of conflicts
Parents are seeing more technology in their homes and jobs
Also, drafting the contract together promotes understanding
This can come in a variety of forms: soccer, fencing and more

Dear David,
How is everything going with you Learning from your last letter that you are curious about the celebration plan for the coming Dragon Boat Festival, I am writing this letter to inform you of the details.
First, falling on May fifth in Chinese lunar calendar, the Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated as a special moment in memory of a patriotic poet, Quyuan. What’s more, not only will we launch Dragon Boat racing, but also we will eat Zongzi, a kind of food designed for this day. You can participate in these various entertaining and meaningful activities, which help you have a deeper understanding of Chinese culture.
Any further questions on this matter are welcomed and I hold the belief that we will have a good time.

W: It won’t hurt to miss a day. You look very pale, and there’s a flu virus going round at the moment. Ella next door has got flu.
M: I haven’t got the flu, Mom. And Mr. Bell will think that I’m absent because today’s the deadline for the project and I haven’t finished it.
W: Don’t be silly-you’re one of his star pupils. Surely, he’s not going to fail you because you are ill. You haven’t even missed a day all year as far as I remember.
M: Oh well, I suppose you’re right. Perhaps I will stay at home, just today. But could you do me a favor Drive round to school and deliver my project to Mr. Bell.
W: It’s quite unnecessary. I will call Mr. Bell right now.
