The 3 Best Marvel Films-Ranked!
It seems that ranking films well is always a tough task.In the hearts of millions of fans,everyone has his own choice.Superhero films are even more so.Recently,The Guardian (卫报) has selected three of the most popular Marvel films.
No.3 Blade Ⅱ
This film continues the story of an earlier 1998’s Blade and is directed by Guillermo.The story once again concerns the mysterious daywalker,played by Wesley Snipes.It is an action film full of high technology and the fighting scenes Guillermo expresses are horribly exciting.Not a typical superhero film,in many ways,but a great one.
No.2 Black Panther
This superb film is an entertaining adventure,with a richer component of fantasy than the other Marvel films.The character of Black Panther is established as one of Marvel’s greatest heroes.It is a big hit across the board.It also employs Rachel Morrison who is MCU’s first woman cinematographer,a photographer who operates a movie camera.Marvel Studios’ president,Kevin Feige,has promised to get more women writers and directors on board.So far,the only Marvel female writer is Nicole Perlman for Guardians of the Galaxy.
No.1 Thor:Ragnarok
It is smart,visually exciting and perhaps above all,funny.And it’s funny in a way that only Marvel films can be.It suggests that to some degree comedy can be an important part of the drama.Taika Waititi was an inspired choice as director.Hemsworth plays the role of Thor and Cate Blanchett plays Hela,the goddess of death who also happens to be Thor’s half-sister.
1.According to The Guardian,which film ranks first
A.Blade Ⅱ. B.Black Panther.
C.Guardians of the Galaxy. D.Thor:Ragnarok.

If you think you’d like to live on Mars, you may have that possibility by 2023. A Dutch company called Mars One will soon advertise for people interested in colonizing (开拓) Mars. If you have all the necessary skills, you could be one of the first colonists. Are you ready for the challenge
You won’t have to pay for the mission to Mars. Mars One has already received money from some donors and is hoping to get more from TV viewers who will become interested in the show where all applicants have a debate for the rare chances.
The main responsibility of the first colonists is to create an artificial environment on Mars where there is no air to breathe and no land to farm. Scientists know it’s quite possible because something similar has already been done in Antarctica.
Another problem is that space travel to Mars takes nearly a year to get to Mars and the colonists will live the rest of their lives there. When a human lives in an environment without gravity or with low gravity for a long time, the systems in the body weaken. Luckily, spinning (旋转) the spaceship can create artificial gravity, and artificial gravity can ease these problems. It will also be difficult for Mars colonists to be far from home, living in small spaces, and seeing the same people over and over. Colonists with depression could put the mission in danger. Fortunately, a few years ago, a joint Russian and European project called the Mars500 Mission studied people’s reactions in a Mars-like environment. It is viewed as a great success because scientists were able to see how people handle emotional and physical stresses.
Recent studies show that seven percent of people would want to go on such an adventure.Mars One will soon start accepting its first colonists. Are you interested
4．What do we know about the applicants to Mars from the first two paragraphs
A．They will land on Mars in 2023. B．They can get money from donors.
C．They will compete in a TV show. D．They do not need special skills.
5．What will be the main responsibility for the first colonists on Mars
A．To create an earth-like environment. B．To build labs in Antarctica.
C．To spin the spaceship. D．To start the Mars500 Mission.
6．What can the life of the first colonists be like according to the passage
A．Easy B. Adaptable. C．Relaxing . D．Exciting.
7．What can we learn from the text
A．Everyone could be one of the first colonists on Mars.
B．Artificial gravity can make the colonists live better.
C．People can’t handle emotional and physical stresses on Mars.
D．Half of people would want to go on Mars.
C
For decades, China had wanted a Nobel Prize in science. Tu Youyou, a researcher who helped to develop a malaria（疟疾）medicine, finally won the country that honor.
In fact, Tu is not the only scientist in China who is catching the world’s attention. In 2016, the Nature journal published a list of the top 10 science stars in China. Gao Caixia and Cui Weicheng are two of them.
Gao Caixia has been devoted to genetic engineering for her whole career. She is known for using CRISPR-Cas9, the revolutionary gene-editing technique that is sweeping through biology labs around the world – in crops.
At first, Gao was unwilling to take up gene editing using CRISPR-Cas9 because her lab at the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology in Beijing had already created mutations（变异）in 82 genes using an older type of technology. But after thinking carefully about it, she decided to give it a try.
After a year of hard work, her lab finally succeeded. Gao worked on genetic engineering in wheat, a crop that is famous for being difficult to work with. Now she is considered one of the best in the world at engineering wheat.
Cui Weicheng is the developer of China’s record-setting Jiaolong submersible（ 潜水器）. He is now a professor at Westlake University. In 2012, Cui rode inside China’s Jiaolong submersible and reached a depth of more than 7,000 meters in the Pacific.
Thanks to Jiaolong and the 57-year-old developer, China is now one of only a few nations that can explore the deep sea. Jiaolong can travel deeper than any other manned research submersible currently in use, which shows China’s increasing ambition and leadership in deep-sea research.
8．Why is Tu Youyou mentioned at the beginning of the passage
A．To show one of China’s long-held dreams. B．To stress the importance of the Nobel Prize.
C．To praise Tu Youyou for her contributions. D．To introduce more top Chinese scientists.
9．Why did Gao Caixia work on wheat
A．Because she failed in her attempt to study other crops.
B．Because she was expert at wheat engineering.
C．Because wheat is hard to be genetically engineered.
D．Because wheat is the most widely planted crop in China.
10．What is Cui Weicheng’s biggest contribution to China
A．He teaches about sea at a university. B．He developed Jiaolong submersible.
C．He is devoted to genetic engineering. D．He reached the bottom of the ocean.
11．What is the best title for the passage
A．China’s Science Stars B．China’s Nobel Prize Dream
C．Gao Caixia－China’s Crop Engineer D．Cui Weicheng－China’s Deep Diver
D
Livestreaming （直播带货）is a kind of e-commerce and marketing and sales method. It combines live product demonstrations, time-limited pricing promotions, live negotiations, and instant ordering through online streaming services hosted either by an influencer studio, or online store.
Livestreaming removes barriers between brands and consumers. While it is focused on driving short term sales, livestreaming can enable firms to improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing. There are certain factors that will increase the chance of success.
Brands should not use livestreaming as a short-term sales booster but as a long-term way to remove barriers between brands and consumers. Specifically, brands could better demonstrate their products in this way, tell fuller brand stories, introduce emotional and cultural elements to their products, obtain instant feedback, conduct product trials, improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing, use different livestream hosts to build a bridge for the consumers and cultivate brand loyalty.
Of course, Livestreaming is not without drawbacks, however. For ads on TV, government has clear rules to forbid brands parading the before-and-after effects of health products. The restrictions are not clear yet for internet-based livestreaming, and health products are frequently promoted by livestreamers. We need to continue to monitor regulatory updates carefully.
As promoting products through live-streaming has been compared to “turning clicks into cash," some people have made illegal profits by creating false prosperity （繁荣） Through the purchase of fake followers to increase shares and comments, some live streamers can falsify their rate of engagement to cheat brands and companies in an effort to win more trust and make more money. Meanwhile, live-streams have also faced issues like the return, refund and exchange of products.
12. What does the author advise the brands to do with Livestreaming
A. To achieve as much sales as possible.
B.To focus more on brand marketing.
C.To remove barriers between brands and consumers for long.
D.To build a bridge between consumers and government
13. What does the underlined word “parading” probably mean
A.Overstating B. Comparing C. Displaying D. Describing
14. How do livestreamers create false prosperity
A. By promoting the products as hard as possible.
B.By creating fake comments and shares.
C.By speaking highly of the brands and firms.
D.By refusing the exchange and the refund of products.
15. According to the text, which statement of Livestreaming is NOT true
A. Livestreaming is a new kind of sales method.
B. Livestreaming won’t use Performance marketing .
C. Livestreaming should be monitored carefully.
D. Live-streams have to face many problems.
