Four Inspiring Movies
Forrest Gump(1992)
Forrest Gump is a simple man with a low IQ but good intentions. This movie follows the fictional story in which the simple man makes his way through some of the more turbulent(动荡的)times from the 1960s through 1980s. This film took home six Oscars, inspired a “Weird Al” song, and proves that a big heart is the most important thing.
It's a Wonderful Life(1946)
No movie list would be complete without a nod to the past. Let's go with this Christmas classic, about a man with serious financial troubles who intends to commit suicide(自杀)by jumping off a bridge. His guardian angel Clarence Odbody stops him and tells him what life would have been like for those close to him had he never been born. Realizing how much he means to others, he rushes back home and all sorts of happy, inspirational, Christmassy things happen.
Dead Poet's Society(1990)
John Keating(Robin Williams)is a high school English literature teacher at a famous all-male boarding school who gets into trouble with the school administration after encouraging his students to challenge authority and think for themselves. It is certainly inspirational, if not also frustratingly sad.
A Beautiful Mind(2001)
This movie tells the story of John Nash(Russell Crowe), a professor at Princeton, a US university, who revolutionized the field of game theory and fell into madness as a result of paranoid schizophrenia(精神分裂症). With the love and support of his family as well as the help of medical professionals, he managed to overcome his mental illness and continued to make contributions to the field of mathematics.

Queen Elizabeth National Park is a place of outstanding beauty and extreme biodiversity. On a previous underwater assignment with my wife and photographic partner, Jennifer Hayes, we’d documented healthy coral reefs surrounded with fish, sharks, and crocodiles. We knew that time, increased tourism and climate change could make the park different—so 15 years later, we returned to see how it was going.
We were photographing some jellyfish. Jennifer, her back to me, was focused on something above her. Out of the corner of my viewfinder, I saw a sizable crocodile coming. As I began to take its photograph, I realized that the crocodile was going to swim directly between Jennifer and me. I started to make loud noises through my regulator and moved towards Jen, firing a burst of flash-lit shots to warn her that we had company. She quickly detected my signal and turned to meet our visitor.
She gave me a quick thumbs-up, nodded OK, and said “Hello, handsome” as she bent closer to take its photos. I admired her for treating the crocodile with respect, calm curiosity, and absolute joy. She didn’t feel threatened. She was familiar with this kind of crocodile in this particular place—and she had a big underwater camera housing that could double as a mighty shield (盾牌) if needed. After a few pictures the crocodile, unimpressed with us, swam downstream on its way to do other crocodile things. We continued our search for jellyfish.
There is always risk in our line of work. But this encounter highlighted the good news that we saw all around us here. The crocodile is an indicator animal, a symbol of a healthy ecosystem that can support top predators (捕食性动物). The easing of travel restrictions is bound to bring more tourists—so it’s vital to maintain a balance among ecotourism, exploration, and conservation. That’s possible if visitors adopt the same philosophy that we hold toward that curious crocodile. We enter Earth’s oceans on their terms, not our own.
4 What was the author’s purpose in returning to Queen Elizabeth National Park
A. To enjoy its beauty. B. To assess a document.
C. To check its ecosystem. D. To photograph jellyfish.
5. Why did Jennifer feel at ease with the crocodile
A. She met it before. B. She trusted her husband.
C. She could protect herself. D. She longed for its company.
6. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part in the last paragraph
A. Explore nature with curiosity.
B. Respect nature while exploring it.
C. Study nature while developing tourism.
D. Protect nature through biological research.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. A Narrow Escape B. A Risky Job
C. An Underwater Assignment D. A Chance Meeting
C
Bacteria are a troublesome problem for astronauts. The microorganisms(微生物)from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces(表面)of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA solving this very tiny big problem It’s turning to a group of high school kids. But not just any kids. It’s depending on NASA HUNCH high school class, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York.
HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they`re close to a solution. “We don`t give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence Gold, a project manager. “There are no tests,” Gordon says.
“There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades other than ‘Are you working towards your goal ’ Basically, it’s ‘I’ve got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to NASA.’ Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and… it’s not a very nice thing at time. It’s a hard business review of your product.”
Gordon says the HUNCH program has an influence on college admissions(录取)and practical life skills. “These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back. I don’t teach.” And that troublesome bacteria Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.
8. What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station
A. They appear different forms. B. They lead to air pollution.
C. They are hard to get rid of. D. They damage the instruments.
9. What is the purpose of the HUNCH program
A. To strengthen teacher-student relationships.
B. To develop students’ communication skills.
C. To allow students to experience zero gravity.
D. To link space technology with school education.
10. What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program
A. Check their product. B. Guide project designs.
C. Balance work schedules. D. Grade their homework.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. NASA: The Home of Astronauts. B. Space: The Final Homework Frontier.
C Nature: An Outdoor Classroom. D. HUNCH: A College Admission Improvement.

The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions”(解决方案) become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.
That’s because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation(处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.
These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into “confirming” your address, mother’s name, and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.
We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.
Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.
12. How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls
A. Panicked. B. Confused. C. Embarrassed. D. Disappointed.
13. Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammer can ________.
A. aim at victims precisely B. damage databases easily
C. start campaigns rapidly D. spread information widely
14. What does the passage imply
A. Honesty is the best policy.
B. Technologies can be double-edged.
C. There are more solutions than problems.
D. Credibility holds the key to development.
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Where the Problem of Robocalls Is Rooted
B. Who Is to Blame for the Problem of Robocalls
C. Why Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous
D. How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology

This movie follows the fictional story in which the simple man makes his way through some of the more turbulent(动荡的)times from the 1960s through 1980s. This film took home six Oscars, inspired a “Weird Al” song, and proves that a big heart is the most important thing.

His guardian angel Clarence Odbody stops him and tells him what life would have been like for those close to him had he never been born. Realizing how much he means to others, he rushes back home and all sorts of happy, inspirational, Christmassy things happen.
Dead Poet's Society(1990)
John Keating(Robin Williams)is a high school English literature teacher at a famous all-male boarding school who gets into trouble with the school administration after encouraging his students to challenge authority and think for themselves. It is certainly inspirational, if not also frustratingly sad.
A Beautiful Mind(2001)
This movie tells the story of John Nash(Russell Crowe), a professor at Princeton, a US university, who revolutionized the field of game theory and fell into madness as a result of paranoid schizophrenia(精神分裂症). With the love and support of his family as well as the help of medical professionals, he managed to overcome his mental illness and continued to make contributions to the field of mathematics.

Queen Elizabeth National Park is a place of outstanding beauty and extreme biodiversity. On a previous underwater assignment with my wife and photographic partner, Jennifer Hayes, we’d documented healthy coral reefs surrounded with fish, sharks, and crocodiles. We knew that time, increased tourism and climate change could make the park different—so 15 years later, we returned to see how it was going.
We were photographing some jellyfish. Jennifer, her back to me, was focused on something above her. Out of the corner of my viewfinder, I saw a sizable crocodile coming. As I began to take its photograph, I realized that the crocodile was going to swim directly between Jennifer and me. I started to make loud noises through my regulator and moved towards Jen, firing a burst of flash-lit shots to warn her that we had company. She quickly detected my signal and turned to meet our visitor.
She gave me a quick thumbs-up, nodded OK, and said “Hello, handsome” as she bent closer to take its photos. I admired her for treating the crocodile with respect, calm curiosity, and absolute joy. She didn’t feel threatened. She was familiar with this kind of crocodile in this particular place—and she had a big underwater camera housing that could double as a mighty shield (盾牌) if needed. After a few pictures the crocodile, unimpressed with us, swam downstream on its way to do other crocodile things. We continued our search for jellyfish.
There is always risk in our line of work. But this encounter highlighted the good news that we saw all around us here. The crocodile is an indicator animal, a symbol of a healthy ecosystem that can support top predators (捕食性动物). The easing of travel restrictions is bound to bring more tourists—so it’s vital to maintain a balance among ecotourism, exploration, and conservation. That’s possible if visitors adopt the same philosophy that we hold toward that curious crocodile. We enter Earth’s oceans on their terms, not our own.
4. What was the author’s purpose in returning to Queen Elizabeth National Park
A. To enjoy its beauty. B. To assess a document.
C. To check its ecosystem. D. To photograph jellyfish.
5. Why did Jennifer feel at ease with the crocodile
A. She met it before. B. She trusted her husband.
C. She could protect herself. D. She longed for its company.
6. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part in the last paragraph
A. Explore nature with curiosity.
B. Respect nature while exploring it.
C. Study nature while developing tourism.
D. Protect nature through biological research.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. A Narrow Escape B. A Risky Job
C. An Underwater Assignment D. A Chance Meeting
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议。讲述了作者和妻子返回伊丽莎白女王国家公园去查看生态系统的变化,其中偶遇了一只鳄鱼,通过和鳄鱼的短暂接触,发现公园的生态系统维持良好,最后呼吁我们在探索自然过程中要敬畏自然。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第一段“We knew that time, increased tourism and climate change could make the park different—so 15 years later, we returned to see how it was going. (我们知道,随着时间的推移,旅游业的增长和气候变化可能会使公园变得不同,所以15年后,我们回来看看它是如何发展的)”可知,作者和妻子回来是想看看伊丽莎白女王国家公园的变化。可推测出他们主要是想看看公园的生态系统。故答案为C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“I admired her for treating the crocodile with respect, calm curiosity, and absolute joy. She didn’t feel threatened. She was familiar with this kind of crocodile in this particular place—and she had a big underwater camera housing that could double as a mighty shield (盾牌) if needed. (我钦佩她对鳄鱼的尊重、淡定的好奇心和喜悦。她并没有感到被威胁。在这个特殊的地方她对这种鳄鱼很熟悉,况且她还有一个巨大的水下摄像机外壳,可以充当强大的盾牌如果需要的话)”可知,妻子有可充当盾牌的东西保护自己,所以选项C符合题意。故答案为C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。本段前文“The crocodile is an indicator animal, a symbol of a healthy ecosystem that can support top predators (捕食性动物). The easing of travel restrictions is bound to bring more tourists—so it’s vital to maintain a balance among ecotourism, exploration, and conservation. That’s possible if visitors adopt the same philosophy that we hold toward that curious crocodile. (鳄鱼是一种代表性动物,是健康生态系统可以支持顶级捕食者生存的象征。旅游限制的放宽必然会引来更多的游客——因此维持生态旅游、探险和保护生态这三者之间的平衡至关重要。如果游客采用我们对待那只好奇的鳄鱼的相同理念的话,这种平衡是可能达成的)”强调我们要维持三者之间的平衡。由前文可知,作者和妻子是对鳄鱼持以尊重的态度,所以呼吁我们在旅游时也要对生态秉承相同尊重的态度。故答案为B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章刚开始讲述了作者和妻子重返伊丽莎白女王国家公园想查看生态环境的变化,后来在拍照过程中偶遇了一只鳄鱼。通过和鳄鱼的短暂接触,作者呼吁我们在探索自然的过程中对自然持尊重的态度。所以D选项“A chance meeting (一次偶遇)可作为本篇文章的标题。故选D项。

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Bacteria are a troublesome problem for astronauts. The microorganisms(微生物)from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week.”可知,细菌对宇航员来说是个令人讨厌的问题。这种来自我们身体的微生物在国际空间站的表面不受控制地生长,宇航员每周要花几个小时来清理它们。也就是说它们很难去掉。故C项正确。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they`re close to a solution.”可知,HUNCH旨在把高中教室和NASA的工程师联系起来。Gordon的学生一直在研究如何在零重力下杀死细菌;结合最后一段中的“Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.”可知,学生每天都给NASA的工程师发邮件一起探讨(如何杀死空间站的细菌这一空间技术)这个问题。由此可推断出HUNCH program的目的是把空间技术与学校教育相结合。故D项正确。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Engineers come and really do an in-person review”可知,NASA的工程师会亲自审核学生们所做的产品。故A项正确。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章以国际空间站里的微生物很难清除开头,引出宇航员们解决此问题的途径——借助美国国家航空航天局的HUNCH高中班,此计划的目的是把航天技术与学校教育结合起来。在这项计划里,学生们通过homework(制作供美国国家航空航天局使用的产品)探索浩瀚的太空,因此“太空:最后的功课疆域”最适合做文章的标题。故B项正确。
D
The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions”(解决方案) become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.
That’s because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation(处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.
These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into “confirming” your address, mother’s name, and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.
We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.
Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.
12. How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls
A. Panicked. B. Confused. C. Embarrassed. D. Disappointed.
13. Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammer can ________.
A. aim at victims precisely B. damage databases easily
C. start campaigns rapidly D. spread information widely
14. What does the passage imply
A. Honesty is the best policy.
B. Technologies can be double-edged.
C. There are more solutions than problems.
D. Credibility holds the key to development.
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Where the Problem of Robocalls Is Rooted
B. Who Is to Blame for the Problem of Robocalls
C. Why Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous
D. How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions”(解决方案) become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means.可知,我们认识到了问题的严重性,支持和开发了旨在防止欺诈者通过的工具、应用程序和方法,。不幸的是,我们的努力太少了,也太晚了。在这些“解决方案”被广泛使用的时候,骗子将转移到更巧妙的手段上。由此推知,作者认为这些“解决办法”对于解决问题起不了什么作用,因此作者感到很“失望”。故D选项正确。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into “confirming” your address, mother’s name, and card number.可知,机器人通话之所以令人头痛,与其说与数量有关,不如说与精确度有关。长达十年的个人信息泄露已经导致了这样一种情况:骗子可以轻易地知道你母亲的名字,甚至更多。有了这些知识,他们就能够开展有针对性的活动来欺骗人们。根据这些可知,利用这种新的技术,欺诈者们可以精确的确定他们行骗的目标。故A选项正确。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.可知,这项语音技术可以产生一个听起来和人类非常相似的声音,它可以和接待员进行交谈,进行预订。由此可知,这项新技术有其好的方面。根据第三段的叙述可知,欺诈者们可以利用这项新技术来进行欺诈行为。由此推知,这项新技术既可以发挥好的作用,也可能为坏人所利用,产生不好的影响,因此可以说它是一把双刃剑。故B选项正确。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段提到:robocalls(机器人电话:自动拨号播放录音信息的推销电话)在未来变得会越来越严重,不仅仅是出现在你的手机屏幕上的电话号码令人怀疑,而且你会质疑听到的声音是否是真的。第二段介绍原因:语音操作与自动化技术的出现使得机器人电话可以以假乱真。第三段介绍了语音操作和自动化技术发展会使得机器人电话产生的问题更加严重。最后两段提出我们该如何应对这些问题。综上,文章第一段点明文章中心:机器人电话问题在未来会变得越来越严重。下文都是围绕这一话题展开的。故C选项适合作标题。

Should We Advocate Artificial Intelligence

【答案】Should We Advocate Artificial Intelligence
Nowadays, with the development of technology, artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly popular. It is universally acknowledged that AI plays an important role in our daily lives.
On the one hand, I have strong grounds for believing that AI such as face recognition makes our lives much more convenient and safer. What’s of great importance is that AI like some robots can also do things that are too difficult or dangerous for people to do. Take the snake robots for example, they are able to get to places that people can’t go to and rescue people who were buried under the buildings in the earthquake.
On the other hand, with AI taking the place of people in some industries, it will be more difficult for people to get jobs to make a living. What’s more, it is because AI doesn’t have feelings or thoughts that some work will not be finished perfectly when they encounter some accidents.
Personally, every coin has two sides. There is no doubt that AI makes a big difference to our life in some ways, but it also has some weaknesses. Only when we make good use of it, can it bring us great benefits.
