Module 1 课下主题训练 健康的生活方式、积极的生活态度
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Seminole was far too accustomed to the business.Everyone sympathized with him depending on long hours, minimum wages, and ill-mannered customers.Although struggling to pay his rent, he still went all out to make those lucky enough to sit at his tables laugh.The day was going quickly.
He was exhausted when he arrived to work the next day, but he went about his daily duties, putting on a brave face as customers complained about the food or questioned the bill.Usually as he prepared to close for the night, a couple of customers would sit down and order drinks.Most of the crew had left by closing time，but Seminole stayed to serve.Eventually, the last round was ordered and he gave them the bill.The minimum tip was suggested on the receipt.“Tomorrow will be better，” he murmured.
But luck wasn't on his side.Evening approaching, a group of teenagers stepped in.Thankfully, they were polite and respectful.Their cheerful behavior began to rub off on him.As always, he did his best to make their dining experience a pleasant one.
Once they finished their dishes, he placed the bill on the table, accompanied with some candies.They placed their notes on the receipt and left smiling.When he returned to clear the table, he was shocked.The teenagers only left a tip of $3, but their total bill was more than $100.He'd gone above and beyond serving the tasty dishes.How could they be so rude
Later that week, he struggled to let go of the awkward memories.He arrived at work and expected it to be like any other, but there was something left behind the desk for him — a two-page handwritten letter from the teenagers with $18 attached, in which they explained they were unaware of the tipping practice due to it being their first time out alone.Everything suddenly made sense.
Seminole was so touched by their gesture that he uploaded a picture of the letter sharing their admirable efforts.The Web visitors voiced their opinions, and the reaction was more than positive.

Pilates, yoga and the running machine get all the attention when it comes to popular ways to stay healthy. There is, however, a more humble exercise that might not be so attractive, but has all the benefits — walking.
Certified fitness professional Jolynn Jaekel explains, “What I love about walking is that anyone can do it at any age and any fitness level. Plus, it is good for your heart, your head and your wallet.”
A recent report details the health benefits of walking. The report found that walking regularly to fulfill the 150 minutes of moderate physical exercise every week, recommended by the UK's chief medical officer, could save 37,000 lives each year. Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California found that quick walking reduces the risk of heart disease more effectively than running. They observed participants aged between 18 and 80 over a six-year period and found that walking reduced the risk of heart disease by 9.3%, while running reduced it by 4.5%. And there is even more good news: 30 minutes of quick walking over five days could help you sleep easily, according to research by Oregon State University. The study by the university showed that walking helped participants sleep better and feel more alert during the day.
The sooner you get started, the sooner you'll notice the differences in your mind and body. So, go out for your 30-minute walk in a nearby park or green space.

Research shows that we spend one-third to one-half of our waking life not living in the present. __9__ Our brains transport us to past events, imagined future scenes and other internal thoughts.
This allows for introspection (内省) — the space to imagine, remember, reflect and then use these fantasies to solve problems and innovate.But introspection can sometimes lead to more harm than good. __10__ When we focus inward to work through our problems, we may find that doing so causes us to feel worse.Negative thought cycles like this can make our capacity for introspection feel more like a curse than a blessing.
The fact that introspection is both a helpful tool and destructive force is a great contradiction of the human mind.Fortunately, science has begun to explain why this happens, and how to control it.
__11__ This motivates our emotions to a degree of rejecting alternative ways of thinking about the issue that might cool us down.In other words, we lose insight.One natural solution to this problem is to zoom out — to “step back” from your problems so that you can think about them more objectively. __12__ However, not just any conversation will do.The key is to focus on talking to people who not only allow you to express your emotions but also help broaden your horizons.
Introspection is central to the makeup of the human mind.The challenge is to minimize the negative effect while we achieve its potential. __13__
A．But it can be wonderful to live in the past.
B．We naturally separate from the here and now.
C．It might contribute to anxiety and depression.
D．Another way to gain insight is to talk to others.
E．Regulating negative emotions also helps to reason wisely.
F．Negative thought cycles occur when we zoom in too close to our problems.
G．Being aware of how our minds work can help us make the best of introspection.
9．选B 根据上文可知，研究表明，我们醒着的时候，有三分之一到一半的时间都不是活在当下，根据下文可知，我们的大脑把我们带到过去的事件，想象的未来场景和其他内在的想法。故B项“我们总是与此时此地的事物相分离”，符合语境。
10．选C 根据语境可知，空处承接上文进一步解释说明自省带来的弊端。故C项符合语境。
11．选F 根据下文的“This motivates ...more objectively.”可知，空处应该与消极的内容相关。F项中的“zoom in”与该段中的“zoom out”对应，且空后的“This”指代F项的内容。故F项符合语境。
12．选D 根据下文可知，然而，并不是任何谈话都可以。关键是要专注于与那些不仅能让你表达情感，而且还能开阔你视野的人交谈。据此可知，空处内容应与和人交谈有关。D项中的“talk to others”与空后的“conversation”对应。故D项符合语境。
13．选G 根据上文可知，自省是构成人类心灵的核心。我们面临的挑战是在发挥其潜力的同时尽量减少其负面影响；据此可以推知，此处会说明如何利用自省。故G项“了解大脑如何工作能够帮助我们充分利用自省”符合语境。Module 1 课下主题训练 健康的生活方式、积极的生活态度

Ⅰ.阅读理解
My son Joey was born with club feet. The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk normally — but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldn't know he had a problem when you saw him walk.
The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during play, and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. We never told him that he probably wouldn't be able to run as well as the other children, so he didn't know.
In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he trained with the team. He worked harder and ran more than any of the others — perhaps he sensed that the abilities that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him. Although the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school. We didn't tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn't know.
He continued to run four to five miles a day, every day — even the day he had a 39 degree fever. I was worried, so I went to look for him after school. I found him running all alone. When I asked him how he felt, he simply replied “OK”. He had two more miles to go. The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running. We never told him he couldn't run four miles with a 39 degree fever, so he didn't know.
Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were called. Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in seventh grade — the other six team members were all eighth-graders. We never told him he shouldn't expect to make the team. We never told him he couldn't do it. so he didn't know. He just made it.

We never told him he couldn't run four miles with a 39 degree fever, so he didn't know.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
In recent years, there has been a rise in the volume of audiobook sales, which is easily aided by the dominance of the smartphone.Are there other contributors to the rise beyond technology
One thing is obvious: Reading even a short book involves a significant investment of time and prevents any other activity.You can't drive or garden while reading.Andy Miller, the author of The Year of Reading Dangerously, said, “I was hunting for a book to read.Kit Waal, my friend, said，‘you should get the audiobook Old Filth; it's fantastic.’ She was right.I could walk the dog and still be reading a brilliant novel, or have one read to me brilliantly.I love that book and I love that way of reading it.So _I'm_a_recent_convert.”
Does he worry audio provides too different an experience to reading itself “Clearly on audio you are at the mercy of the reader's skills，” he says.“But then, ego (自我) aside, the same is true of reading a book on the page.We're all at the mercy of our own skills and tastes, aren't we But on audio you are influenced by someone else's interpretation.And you might simply dislike the voice of the reader.But at its best audio offers a complementary (互补的) experience to the actual book.”
Will audiobooks distract us from the page before us Better to focus on what we might gain.As someone who frequently interviews authors on stage, I'm aware of the unique insight into a text produced by hearing someone read their own work; I've frequently reinterpreted a passage after such an experience.But that has had no impact on whether or not I'll read a book by a writer I will never hear reading.
I once met the writer Don Delillo.In response to a question about the process of writing, he remarked that he sometimes became attracted by the shape of particular letters, by the way individual words appeared before him.He sounded hippy-dippy; then it made perfect sense.Reading does start with shapes, which slowly resolve to make a certain meaning, filtered through our own subjectivity and our senses.That will never change.
语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了近年来有声读物销量增加，但是，结合作者自己的经历和两位作家Andy Miller和Don Delillo的观点我们可以看出，有声读物有其自身的优点，但它无法代替纸质读物。
1．What does Andy Miller mean by “I'm a recent convert” in Paragraph 2
A．He likes the reader's voice.
B．He enjoys his daily routines.
C．He falls in love with audiobooks.
D．He is addicted to reading novels.
解析：选C 句意理解题。根据第二段中Andy Miller所说的话可知，在朋友Kit Waal的建议下，他选择了有声读物，这让他在遛狗的时候还可以阅读，他喜欢那本有声读物和那种读它的方式，故C项“他爱上了有声读物”与画线部分意义接近。
2．What does Andy Miller think of the audiobook
A．It has a good voice.
B．It limits our interpretation.
C．It controls our skills and tastes.
D．It misleads our interpretation.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第三段中Andy Miller所说话中的“on audio you are at the mercy of the reader's skills” “But on audio you are influenced by someone else's interpretation.”可知，在听有声读物时，读者被朗读者的技巧支配、会受到朗读者理解的影响，据此可以推断，有声读物会限制读者的理解。
3．What is Don Delillo's attitude to reading the actual book
A．Unclear. B．Objective.
C．Opposed. D．Favourable.
解析：选D 观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“he sometimes became attracted ...before him”可以看出，Don Delillo会被独特的字母的形状和单词出现在他面前的方式而吸引，由此可见，他支持纸质书的阅读。
4．What is the best title of the text
A．Easy listening: the rise of the audiobook
B．The audiobook — a growing trend in reading
C．Slow reading — the decline of the actual book
D．A new experience: the appearance of audiobooks
解析：选A 标题归纳题。本文第一段讲述了手机的支配地位有助于有声读物销量的增加；第二段结合 Andy Miller的例子说明了有声读物的优点；第三段画风一变，讲述了Andy Miller 的担忧；第四段以作者自己的经历讲述了有声读物的不足之处；最后一段以作家Don Delillo的角度讲述了纸质读物将永不过时。A项既讲到了有声读物的优点“easy listening”，又以问句的形式问道“有声读物兴起了吗？”，能够很好地概括文章大意，因此适合作本文的标题。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2022·南昌高三月考)Music is an art form which deals with the representation of emotion through the medium of sound. It can have a physical effect on us because it is closely linked with emotion, perhaps even more than the abstract nature of words. The number one reason why people listen to music is to adjust their emotional state. __5__
Numerous studies leave us in no doubt that music can affect our mood state and stress level. __6__ For example, they have found that background music shuts out distractions. It calms them before a large task and then they can stay focused for longer. Also it can help their creativity and make studying more enjoyable.
__7__ Firstly, it depends on what the task it. The more difficult the challenge is, the more likely background music will interrupt the learning process. For less challenging learning tasks, music can greatly assist in providing a positive learning state. Secondly, it depends on the characteristics of the music we'll come to in a moment. And thirdly, extroverts (性格外向者) enjoy and often require more external stimulation (刺激) and are likely to handle background noise better than those who are quiet and shy.
Actually, it's not about the type of music, but the natural musical characteristics which aid or disrupt study. One of these characteristics is the tempo (拍子). The recommended tempo for background music is in the range 70－110 beats per minute, slightly faster than the heartbeat at rest. __8__ And very slow music lowers the heartbeat, creating a state that might be too relaxed for study purposes.
In addition, lyrics are the most distracting aspect of background musical listening.__9__More particularly, studies have found that the most distracting background is fast and familiar vocal music, chosen and liked by the listener.
A．Music is part of every culture in the world.
B．In a very real sense, music connects us with our inner selves.
C．They compete with the same brain regions that process language.
D．Music, like language, is a unique human form of communication.
E．Fast music raises the heartbeat, making one unable to focus on study.
F．There are a few factors that determine the effects of music on studying.
G．Moreover, those who like studying with background music have found a lot of benefits.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。音乐是一种通过声音来表现情感的艺术形式。文章说明了音乐对学习产生影响的几个因素。
5．选B 结合上文“It can have a physical effect ... their emotional state.”可知，音乐可以与人的情感紧密相连，那么音乐也能将人与人的内心联系在一起。本句承接上文说明音乐将人们的内心联系在一起。故选B。
6．选G 根据空后一句可知，此处是在说明用背景音乐的好处。故选G。
7．选F 根据后文“Firstly, it depends on ... positive learning state.”可知，此处是在说明音乐对学习产生影响的因素。故选F。
8．选E 根据空格前后两句可知，此处是在分别说明快节奏音乐和慢节奏音乐对人们学习的影响。故选E。
9．选C 根据空前一句可知，此处承接上文继续说明背景音乐中的歌词让人们分心的不良影响。C选项中“They”指代上文中的lyrics。故选C。

Alex is a 14-year-old boy who loves musics. He knows beats (音乐节拍) quite good, and he often taps his fingers when he walks or while sitting down. Now, the teenager is using his talent to become a DJ — a person who mixes different music during lively shows. He often gives shows around their hometown. At shows, Alex has to deal with difficult people. Once, a couple invited him to be DJ at their party. The husband wanted country music, but his wife asked for pop music. To make them all happy, Alex plays music in both styles. After playing at different parties and shows, Alex has become more confident and best at meeting people's needs. Moreover, he has made of enough money to buy a set of DJ equipment for himself so he can practice at home wherever he wants.

Danish architecture studio Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) has designed Terminus AI City Operating System as a campus in Chongqing, China, which will be operated by an artificial intelligence system.Everything in the city will be operated by this system.
BIG has drawn up the plans for Terminus Group, which will have its headquarters at the centre of the AI-run city campus.
The development will be located in Chongqing Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone and will include Cloud Valley, the campus-style headquarters of Terminus Group.“We have over the recent years worked with several of the world's leading technology companies.We are thrilled to bring our experience to Chongqing，”said Bjarke Ingels, founder of BIG.“Cloud Valley is imagined as a city where people, technology and nature live together in harmony with spaces designed for all types of life: human life, animal life, plant life and even artificial life.”
BIG's design for Cloud Valley is intended to demonstrate the environmental goals of the project.Green roof panels will create open-air courtyards throughout the campus.These courtyards will host art exhibitions and sports events.At night, the underside of the roof panels will be transformed into what BIG describes as “the largest digital display in China”．
In the AI City, people will live in homes with self-adjusting solar panels and have a digital assistant to run their lives.Buildings will have power systems controlled by Terminus Group software.
“As sunlight hits the houses, bedroom windows become transparent to allow the natural light to wake sleepy residents，” said Terminus Group.“Once the light has filled the room, an AI housekeeper selects your breakfast, matches your outfit with the weather, and presents a full schedule of your day using Terminus Group's smart transportation solution.”
The AI City will have e-bikes and self-driving cars to cut down on traffic jams.

In the 17th century, the Netherlands experienced a period of artistic prosperity known as the Dutch Golden Age.During this period, artists found inspiration in Northern Renaissance painting techniques, contributing to masterpieces like Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.Known as the “Mona Lisa of the North”， this painting represents the best of Dutch art and it has become one of the most beloved paintings in art history.
Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer is famous for his paintings of contemporary Delft, a city in Holland where the artist was born, lived and died.Girl with a Pearl Earring is Vermeer's most well-known work of art.However, it did not attain international fame at its time of completion.That came about at the end of the 20th century, when it was featured in a special exhibition in Washington, DC.
Girl with a Pearl Earring does not show a specific person.Instead, it shows an unknown girl dressed in grand clothing who, “like a vision coming from the darkness”， art historian Arthur K．Wheelock explained in the Johannes Vermeer catalogue, “belongs to no specific time or place.”
Vermeer is known for his ability to create shapes and forms using light rather than lines.This characteristic approach to modeling is particularly evident in Girl with a Pearl Earring.First, he would “invent”， or create an initial drawing on the canvas.Then, he made a single colored underpainting.Next, he added color.And, finally, in order to make the piece extraordinarily bright, he would apply a thin layer of the glaze to certain parts of the painting.
In addition to its fascinating context and appealing beauty, the piece is celebrated for the mystery that surrounds it.“When you think about Mona Lisa, she is also looking at us, but she isn't engaging — she's sitting back in the painting, self-contained，” Tracy Chevalier, the author of The New York Times' bestselling historical novel, Girl with a Pearl Earring, points out.“While the girl with a pearl earring in the painting is right there — there is nothing between her and us.She has this magical quality of being incredibly open and yet mysterious at the same time — and that is what makes her so appealing.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了17世纪荷兰著名的画作《戴珍珠耳环的少女》的作者、创作背景、作品的特色以及其成为名作的原因。
5．What inspired the creation of Girl with a Pearl Earring
A．Previous artists' skills.

D．Encouragement from other artists.

6．What do we know about Girl with a Pearl Earring
A．It is set in the artist's birthplace.
B．It makes the artist famous overnight.
C．It describes a particular and exact girl.
D．It is regarded as a match for Mona Lisa.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Known as the ...most beloved paintings in art history.”可知，这幅画被称为“北方的《蒙娜丽莎》”。
7．What is the purpose of Paragraph 4
A．To introduce the subject of the painting.
B．To show techniques used in the painting.
C．To explain the artistic value of the painting.
D．To uncover the mystery behind the painting.

C．By offering an example.
D．By making a comparison.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Nowadays people will say that being an artist should be a temporary dream, something only a select few can do. __9__ It isn't just a painting or a song, but an expression of emotion that cannot be felt through just words themselves.
A craft of imagination can be more important than a craft of knowledge, and it is absolutely possible for the two to be combined. A piece of work isn't just something created without discipline or training. __10__An artist needs to learn how to complete the basics like a master before they can add in their own emotions and change the painting to be their own.
__11__ This is a great quote for all artists in the sense that each piece of art is different, but inspirations are shared. Students are taught the same thing over and over again, which is good. However, by teaching them to accept new ways of finding solutions or solving their issues, __12__
There are schools who want to take out the different forms of art found in public schools. __13__ Every person needs a way to allow them to release stress in a healthy way, a way that can be shared with others or kept to themselves. If art, music is taken out of the school systems, then how are students supposed to learn about alternative ways to express themselves
A．a student's horizon can be expanded.
B．“Art is theft” was said by Pablo Picasso.
C．students can express themselves well in speech classes.

9．选D 空后一句提到“这不仅仅是一幅画或一首歌，而且是一种情感的表达，而这种情感不能仅仅通过文字来表达。”该句是对选项D中“what art means”的解释。故选D项。
10．选E 此题解题线索是代词指代。选项E中It指代空前一句中的“A piece of work”；空后一句中的“their own emotions”与选项E中的emotion是词汇复现。故选E项。

Danish architecture studio Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) has designed Terminus AI City Operating System as a campus in Chongqing, China, which will be operated by an artificial intelligence system.Everything in the city will be operated by this system.
BIG has drawn up the plans for Terminus Group, which will have its headquarters at the centre of the AI-run city campus.
The development will be located in Chongqing Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone and will include Cloud Valley, the campus-style headquarters of Terminus Group.“We have over the recent years worked with several of the world's leading technology companies.We are thrilled to bring our experience to Chongqing，”said Bjarke Ingels, founder of BIG.“Cloud Valley is imagined as a city where people, technology and nature live together in harmony with spaces designed for all types of life: human life, animal life, plant life and even artificial life.”
BIG's design for Cloud Valley is intended to demonstrate the environmental goals of the project.Green roof panels will create open-air courtyards throughout the campus.These courtyards will host art exhibitions and sports events.At night, the underside of the roof panels will be transformed into what BIG describes as “the largest digital display in China”．
In the AI City, people will live in homes with self-adjusting solar panels and have a digital assistant to run their lives.Buildings will have power systems controlled by Terminus Group software.
“As sunlight hits the houses, bedroom windows become transparent to allow the natural light to wake sleepy residents，” said Terminus Group.“Once the light has filled the room, an AI housekeeper selects your breakfast, matches your outfit with the weather, and presents a full schedule of your day using Terminus Group's smart transportation solution.”
The AI City will have e-bikes and self-driving cars to cut down on traffic jams.

In the 17th century, the Netherlands experienced a period of artistic prosperity known as the Dutch Golden Age.During this period, artists found inspiration in Northern Renaissance painting techniques, contributing to masterpieces like Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer.Known as the “Mona Lisa of the North”， this painting represents the best of Dutch art and it has become one of the most beloved paintings in art history.
Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer is famous for his paintings of contemporary Delft, a city in Holland where the artist was born, lived and died.Girl with a Pearl Earring is Vermeer's most well-known work of art.However, it did not attain international fame at its time of completion.That came about at the end of the 20th century, when it was featured in a special exhibition in Washington, DC.
Girl with a Pearl Earring does not show a specific person.Instead, it shows an unknown girl dressed in grand clothing who, “like a vision coming from the darkness”， art historian Arthur K．Wheelock explained in the Johannes Vermeer catalogue, “belongs to no specific time or place.”
Vermeer is known for his ability to create shapes and forms using light rather than lines.This characteristic approach to modeling is particularly evident in Girl with a Pearl Earring.First, he would “invent”， or create an initial drawing on the canvas.Then, he made a single colored underpainting.Next, he added color.And, finally, in order to make the piece extraordinarily bright, he would apply a thin layer of the glaze to certain parts of the painting.
In addition to its fascinating context and appealing beauty, the piece is celebrated for the mystery that surrounds it.“When you think about Mona Lisa, she is also looking at us, but she isn't engaging — she's sitting back in the painting, self-contained，” Tracy Chevalier, the author of The New York Times' bestselling historical novel, Girl with a Pearl Earring, points out.“While the girl with a pearl earring in the painting is right there — there is nothing between her and us.She has this magical quality of being incredibly open and yet mysterious at the same time — and that is what makes her so appealing.”
5．What inspired the creation of Girl with a Pearl Earring
A．Previous artists' skills.
B．The appearance of the girl.
C．Vermeer's international fame.
D．Encouragement from other artists.
6．What do we know about Girl with a Pearl Earring
A．It is set in the artist's birthplace.
B．It makes the artist famous overnight.
C．It describes a particular and exact girl.
D．It is regarded as a match for Mona Lisa.
7．What is the purpose of Paragraph 4
A．To introduce the subject of the painting.
B．To show techniques used in the painting.
C．To explain the artistic value of the painting.
D．To uncover the mystery behind the painting.
8．How does Tracy comment on Girl with a Pearl Earring
A．By citing a theory.
B．By giving a definition.
C．By offering an example.
D．By making a comparison.

Nowadays people will say that being an artist should be a temporary dream, something only a select few can do. __9__ It isn't just a painting or a song, but an expression of emotion that cannot be felt through just words themselves.
A craft of imagination can be more important than a craft of knowledge, and it is absolutely possible for the two to be combined. A piece of work isn't just something created without discipline or training. __10__An artist needs to learn how to complete the basics like a master before they can add in their own emotions and change the painting to be their own.
__11__ This is a great quote for all artists in the sense that each piece of art is different, but inspirations are shared. Students are taught the same thing over and over again, which is good. However, by teaching them to accept new ways of finding solutions or solving their issues, __12__
There are schools who want to take out the different forms of art found in public schools. __13__ Every person needs a way to allow them to release stress in a healthy way, a way that can be shared with others or kept to themselves. If art, music is taken out of the school systems, then how are students supposed to learn about alternative ways to express themselves
A．a student's horizon can be expanded.
B．“Art is theft” was said by Pablo Picasso.
C．students can express themselves well in speech classes.
D．Obviously, they are not fully aware about what art means.
E．It is the emotion as well as the training within the painting.
F．Unfortunately, this can hurt a student more than help them.
G．Thus, the importance of art education can never be too emphasized.Module 5 课下主题训练 社会进步与人类文明

A
Movie theaters around the world have closed during the coronations outbreak. Fortunately, there's never been a better time to catch up on classic old movies. Below, read our picks for best travel movies：
Thelma and Louise (1991)
Thelma and Louise, is a tale of female friendship, and the screen is dominated by the film's two lead females. The pals from small-town Arkansas hit the road on a weekend quest in search of fun and freedom from their jobs and their boredom.
Filmed in California and Utah, with the best Grand Canyon scenes filmed south of Dead Horse Point State Park, Thelma and Louise is a good option if you have never been out West or if you have and eager to return.
Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)
It's one of the most satisfying films of director Wes Anderson all works. Set in a luxury ski resort in the fictional East European Republic of Zubrowka in the 1930s, the plot is supported by a murder investigation filled with stolen art, prison escapes and a secret concierge (看门人) society.
Though the hotel doesn't actually exist, much of the film was shot in the beautiful German town of Goerlitz, famed for its medieval streets.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)
When Harry Potter runs through a column at King's Cross railway station in London to get to Platform 9 3/4, we know it isn't real. And yet we want to visit.
The movie's locations are inspired by real places, as graduates of English private schools will tell you: rushing down narrow old streets to visit tea houses and sandwich shops, discovering books that are hundreds of years old.
The Trip to Italy (2014)
In this film, you're on an extraordinary road trip along with two old friends. The route is from Piedmont via Rome to Amalfi, back to Naples and finally the tony island of Capri. Retracing the footsteps of romantic poets Byron and Shelley, they drive a Mini Cooper through the breathtaking country and alongside stiff seaside cliffs.

People used to protect cultural relics by hand works combing photographing and rubbing techniques. Although this method can keep the basic information, many vital details are still ignored.
3D scanning technology features in fast measurement speed and accurate catching capacity. It's good at collecting enough and accurate 3D data from different angles, which is beneficial to the restoration of cultural relics when coming into accidental damage. Experts can also virtually restore the heritages through the computer, and finish assistant researches via accurate 3D models.
For cultural relics' protection. 3D printing contributes to displaying cultural relics. It provides people with more chances to get to know cultural relics and better understand human beings' history.
Yucheng Museum has dug out a new collection of cultural relics in April 2019. One of the most important issues for archaeologists (考古学家) is data storage. Invited by Quimbaya Art×Tech, ScanTech conducted 3D scanning immediately on these relics by the 3D scanner. This handheld 3D ray scanner carries a big weight in acquiring very accurate 3D data and brings great convenience for further restorations and researches.
To avoid any damage, Yucheng Museum combined with 3D printing technology, based on 3D data to reproduce 1：1 3D model of cultural relics for exhibition, which aims to make more people get close to history and pass on these precious cultural heritages.
Time flies and many thousand-year cultural treasures have gradually disappeared from our sight due to technical problems. However, 3D scanning and 3D printing technologies put forward very effective 3D solutions for cultural relic display and protection.

You go home from work very tired. You want to sit in front of the TV and watch something fun. What better than a cartoon？Both children and (most) adults love cartoons. Of course, there are cartoons that are directed specifically to adults. __8__ So，Why do adults like cartoons so much
They have well-written characters.
Well, there are plenty of reasons. __9__Screenwriters，designers, musicians are all working together to bring the best outcome to the big screen. Cartoons have well-written characters facing complicated situations. Sometimes the scripts are even better than those in adult films. So，it comes no surprise that cartoons appeal to grown-ups as well.
They bring out the child in us.
Remember the time？It was a Saturday morning and we used to sit in front of the TV and enjoy cartoons. __10__ What's more，they show our inner child. By watching cartoons, we forget the trouble of everyday life and leave our problems behind.
We love heroes.
Almost every cartoon has to do with the journey of a character. It is a journey towards adulthood, or towards finding oneself，or succeeding in an adventure. And who doesn't love heroes like that？__11__ Plenty of times，the characters in cartoons are bigger-than-life and that's what we need to believe humans (or animals) again.
__12__
Watching cartoons, the viewers enter fantastic worlds and cartoons have become works of art. Just remember the first scene in the Lion King. The sun comes up and animals from all over the jungle come to meet the new lion club. In recent years, cartoons use photo-realistic environments to make the scene bigger and better.
A．A feast for the eyes.
B．A little treat for adults.
C．Plenty of talent works in producing cartoons.

Movie theaters around the world have closed during the coronations outbreak. Fortunately, there's never been a better time to catch up on classic old movies. Below, read our picks for best travel movies：
Thelma and Louise (1991)
Thelma and Louise, is a tale of female friendship, and the screen is dominated by the film's two lead females. The pals from small-town Arkansas hit the road on a weekend quest in search of fun and freedom from their jobs and their boredom.
Filmed in California and Utah, with the best Grand Canyon scenes filmed south of Dead Horse Point State Park, Thelma and Louise is a good option if you have never been out West or if you have and eager to return.

The Trip to Italy (2014)
In this film, you're on an extraordinary road trip along with two old friends. The route is from Piedmont via Rome to Amalfi, back to Naples and finally the tony island of Capri.
