Four Best Films for You
Dune
Now at last we have a big-screen Dune that may actually do justice to (恰当处理) Frank Herbert’s science-fiction novel (科幻小说). Directed by Denis Villeneuve, the film runs for 155 minutes and still only covers the first half of the book.
The French Dispatch
It’s the 10th film of Wes Anderson, a writer-director. The French Dispatch tells three short stories set in the fictional French town of Ennui-sur-Blasé, and supposedly drawn from the pages of a New Yorker-style magazine in the mid-20th Century.
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Now that Marvel’s superheroes have saved the universe (宇宙), their next job is obvious: they have to save the multiverse. In the third of the Spider-Man films starring Tom Holland, the teenager accidentally opens a door to many parallel realities (平行现实世界). “What people will be really surprised about is that it’s not fun, this film,” Holland told Total Film. “It’s dark and sad, and it’s going to be really affecting.”
Ron’s Gone Wrong
The first cartoon from a new British studio, Locksmith Animation, Ron’s Gone Wrong is a family comedy (喜剧). The film’s co-writer and co-director, Sarah Smith, said, “In our movie, Barney ends up with Ron, a robot, who’s completely broken, who doesn’t agree with him and doesn’t know anything about him, they have to build this relationship from that point.”
21．Who is the director of The French Dispatch
A．Tom Holland. B．Sarah Smith. C．Wes Anderson. D．Denis Villeneuve.
22．What type of film is Spider-Man: No Way Home
A．Science-fiction. B．Cartoon. C．Action. D．War.
23．What’s special about Ron’s Gone Wrong
A．It’s set in a French town. B．It’s a family comedy.
C．It’s about superheroes. D．It’s the longest film.

A young man went to a farm and asked for a job. When the old farmer asked what the young man could do to help the farm, he just said ,“I can sleep when the wind blows.”
This short answer puzzled(迷惑) the farmer. But he liked the young man and said OK anyway. Everything went well until one night when there was a heavy storm. The old farmer and his wife quickly woke up and started checking to see if everything was safe.
The farmer and his wife checked their things. They found that the farm tools had been put away safely in the house. The truck was parked in the garage. They found that the doors of the farmhouse were closed. The barn(谷仓) was properly locked. Even the animals were calm. All was well.
After checking everything, they went to the young man’s room and found that he was sleeping. The farmer and his wife then understood the meaning of the young man’s words — “I can sleep when the wind blows.”
Because the young man finished all of his work while the skies were clear, he was prepared for the storm before it came. So when the wind blew ,he was not afraid. He could sleep in peace.

C
The elderly residents in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people’s well-being. It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.
“I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they’ve gone to bed.
“It’s good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I’m enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful.”
There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.
Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: “Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here.”
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: “We are happy to be participating in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities.”
28．What is the purpose of the project
A．To ensure harmony in care homes. B．To promote the elderly people’s welfare.
C．To raise money for medical research. D．To provide part-time jobs for the aged.
29．How has the project affected Ruth Xavier
A．She has learned new life skills. B．She has developed a strong personality.
C．She has recovered her memory. D．She has gained a sense of achievement.
30．What do the underlined words “embark on” mean in paragraph 7
A．Improve. B．Oppose. C．Begin. D．Evaluate.
31．What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs
A．It is well received. B．It needs to be more creative.
C．It is highly profitable. D．It takes ages to see the results.
D
Toy kitchen is hugely popular with young children. It can be a great base for creative and imaginative role playing for children and their parents.
Solo (独自的) freestyle play is what a child plays on their own with the toy kitchen. It is a source of amusement for parents to see their children imitate (模仿) many of their sayings and phrases during this sort of play. You may discover some phrases you didn’t know you had! Children will often cook and create food for their toys to eat. Joining in freestyle play while allowing the child to take charge is fun for the child as well as adults. There are many ways to turn this type of play into something more educational. Parents can demand a certain number of vegetables on their plate and the child can use their knowledge of what’s a fruit and what’s a vegetable, as well as their counting skills to carry out this simple task.
You can also play the sorting game. Asking a child to sort out the fruit and vegetables into different piles is fun and will get easier for the child each time. Always reward children with praise when they do well, and encouragement when they don’t do quite well.
Counting is an obvious game. You can start the basics of maths in the kitchen play with adding, subtracting (减) and even dividing! Your child can use the toy food to work out sums and enjoy counting! They will be picking up good basic number skills during this type of play.
You can also bring up healthy eating subjects asking them which fruit is their favorite and asking which ones they want to try for their next snack. This type of game can continue in the supermarket and be used as a method of introducing new foods to their diet.
32．Games using a toy kitchen can develop children’s ________.
A．health and habit B．creation and imagination
C．counting skills and honesty D．number skills and good manners
33．In the solo freestyle play, you may find ________.
A．it difficult for children to sort out the fruit and vegetables
B．it fun for children to cook and create food for themselves to eat
C．some words and expressions you forgot using before
D．children pick up good basic number skills by using the real food
34．Playing with healthy eating subjects gives children great help in ________.
A．enriching healthy eating B．training working ability
C．counting D．sorting
35．Who are the possible readers of the passage
A．Parents. B．Teachers. C．Children. D．Experts.
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
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。
I grew up in the countryside of Poland. It’s an area where skiing is popular, but my family was poor. I couldn’t afford to ride the ski lift, so I used to hike up with the skis on my back. 36
K2(乔戈里峰)is called “death mountain”. You may hear sad stories: For every four people who reach the top, one dies. I was too afraid to even think about skiing down it. 37
But that changed after a training exploration to Broad Peak. I got a clear look at K2’s massive face, and it inspired me. Over time, my skills improved and, by 2017, I didn’t feel the fear anymore. I began preparations.
38 I love nature, and I love setting goals. To be the first to do it just adds to the challenge. Fear is an important part of life, but to ski down K2, I had to stop being afraid. At the base camp, I felt cam and prepared. There were doubts-I just knew I could do it. But there were challenges. At the third base camp, 7, 000 meters up, my safety guide suffered serious back pain. We waited for 36 hours before he got better, and we decided to continue. In total, it took about 3 days to reach the top.
For many climbers, getting to the top of K2 would be the defining moment of their lives. 39 Skiing down a mountain demands patience and endurance(耐力).
The most dangerous part was the Messner Traverse. It’s pure ice, up to a 75-degree angle in places, with drops on either side. You need to keep your tums and movements smooth with confidence. No one had attempted it before, so it was a relief(宽慰)to cross it. 40 When I eventually skied into camp, I simply lay in the snow, emotionally and physically tired out.
I’m so proud of what I achieved. No one thought it could be done. It taught me the value of patience and that nobody else can make your dreams come true.
A．Have you ever tried extreme sports
B．It turned out that this was good practice.
C．But for me, it was where the real challenge began.
D．Even the best ski mountaineer thought it impossible.
E．In total, going down the mountain took about 7 hours.
F．Why attempt such an impressive and difficult achievement
G．If you overcome fears and difficulties, you will surely make it to the top.

66．Saturday January 16th, 2022 Sunny
Dear Diary,
Recently, I participated in the activity of recording your beautiful life held by my school. And through it, I learn to appreciate the beauty lying in everyday life.
This week, I was busy with my preparations for the final exams. To achieve ideal grades, I not only made a practical review plan but also followed it without any delay. Besides, I got much encouragement from both my teachers and parents, which helped me build confidence to face the challenges. Last but not least, my best friend phoned me to arrange a winter holiday trip together.
All these beautiful moments make me feel delighted to move for the day ahead.
67．The following Monday, Steve arrived at school earlier than usual because Miss White would give a quiz on the weekend homework. When the class bell rang, Miss White handed out the test papers. At first, Steve was so nervous that his throat was dry, and his palms were sweating. But when he saw the smile on her face, his heart was full of courage again. Steve began to focus on doing it. Time went by quickly, and it was time to hand in the test papers. To Miss White’s surprise, Steve was the first to hand in his paper.
After Miss White checked Steve’s test paper, she was in total shock! She found Steve finished all the questions and passed the test for the first time. She couldn’t wait to share the good news with Steve. When seeing the score on his paper, Steve couldn’t believe his eyes. He was wild with joy, tears of delight rolling down his cheeks. From that moment, nothing was the same for Steve. His grades got better and better and he was gradually willing to play with his classmates. It was Miss White’s care that made him confident in himself.

M: Good evening, and welcome to the Channel Four News. I’m Jeffrey Stone. Today’s top story takes us to the small village of Hilden.There are only about 200 people who live there, and there is a big open area in the center for the weekly market. There is only one restaurant in the village, and it’s been serving delicious food and drinks for more than two centuries! If you look closely, you may be able to tell what makes this village different. Do you see how all the houses are much higher than we might expect That’s because Hilden is home to some of the tallest people in all of England! Both men and women are about 25% taller than most others, and the tallest man in the village right now is seven and a half feet tall! That’s taller than most NBA players! No one is sure why everyone in Hilden is so tall, but we’re going to find out. Stay with us, won’t you This is going to be interesting...
