EW's Most Anticipated Movies of 2024
2024 has an overwhelming array of exciting cinematic treats in store for moviegoers. Here's what we can't wait to watch this year.
Dune: Part Two (March 1, in theaters)
Denis Villeneuve’s sandy sci-fi sequel was one of the biggest projects delayed by last year’s Hollywood strikes. Joining Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya are series newcomers Florence Pugh, Christopher Walken, Lea Seydoux, and a very bald Austin Butler. And though this second part will finish adapting Frank Herbert’s original novel, Villeneuve already has ideas for how he’ll expand the saga. "
Civil War (April 26, in theaters)
Alex Garland directs A24’s most expensive project to date: a sci-fi thriller that sees the United States once again at war with itself. Real-life couple Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons star alongside Cailee Spaeny and Wagner Moura. We don’t know much about the film’s plot so far — its only logline describes it as "a race to the White House in a near-future America balanced on the razor’s edge." The first trailer suggests that 19 states have seceded from the Union.
Inside Out 2 (June 14, in theaters)
2015’s Inside Out is one of the finest and agonizingly beautiful pieces of the modern Pixar era.Now Pixar is returning to Inside Out to see if there’s any other gold to mine from the mind of Riley. The young girl, who we followed on her family’s tumultuous move from the Midwest, is now a teenager in San Francisco and facing a whole new emotion: Anxiety (Maya Hawke). That addition somehow feels super relatable to the current times.
A Quiet Place: Day One (June 28, in theaters)
Hush now. The next movie in the saga of A Quiet Place is almost upon us. While the first two films tracked the Abbott family as they fought to survive a world invaded by vicious alien monsters that hunt through sound, this next one will be centered on new characters played by others. Details are being kept under wraps, though we think it's fair to assume the movie will be taking us back to the day the monsters first arrived on Earth.
21.Which of these movies is not from a movie series
A. Dune: Part Two
B. Civil War
C. Inside Out 2
D. A Quiet Place: Day One
22. Why was Dune: Part Two delayed in 2023
A. Because Hollywood was on strike in 2023.
B. Because the movie wasn’t finished yet.
C. Because Timothée Chalamet was arrested for committing a crime.
D. Because the movie was involved in commercial disputes.
23. What do Dune: Part Two and Civil War have in common
A. Both have blond hair.
B. Both will be released on the same day
C. Both are directed by the same director.
D. Both are not real.
B
A kindhearted family put themselves in a risky situation to rescue an aggressive owl that had become trapped in a soccer net. One morning, the Larsons discovered a trapped owl on the football field. They immediately wanted to rescue the poor owl, but they found that the owl was very aggressive. Fearful of the owl’s sharp claws and beak, Dave Larson approached with caution when he discovered the bird in his family’s soccer goal in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.
In the dramatic footage, the distressed owl can be seen tangled in the netting while Dave slowly but surely attempts to cut the bird free. During the proceedings, Dave’s wife, Sue, filmed the rescue, which saw the startled bird snap at Dave on numerous occasions, stretching out its claws every time he got close. Fortunately, the family was able to free the distressed bird, with their son Travis sharing the clip online where they were showered with praise for assisting the animal on September 27.
Sue said: “We were very nervous knowing how strong and sharp his beak was, which he kept snapping to scare us. He also kept stretching his claws out every time we got close to him. We were able to feel a little more at ease when the owl eventually realized we weren’t trying to hurt him, and he seemed to relax and let us cut him free. As soon as he flew away, there was instant relief of the situation. But it was more happiness at knowing he was alright and being able to see him fly and move without injury.”
This beautiful story warms people's hearts and also tells us that man and nature need to coexist in harmony. When we take care to protect Nature, Nature rewards us generously; when we exploit Nature ruthlessly, it punishes us without mercy. We need to have deep reverence for Nature, respect Nature, follow Nature’s laws and protect Nature, so as to build a homeland of harmonious coexistence between man and Nature.
24. Who uploaded the video of freeing the owl online
A. Dave Larson
B. Travis Larson
C. Sue Larson
D. Kyle Larson
25. Which of the following best describe Dave Larson
A. Mean and unfeeling
B. Objective and impartial

C. The owl called the traffic police and the insurance company.
D. The owl didn't sleep well yesterday morning and was tired.
27. What can be the suitable title for the passage

B. Keeping Up with the Larsons
C. Kindhearted Couple Free Aggressive Owl
D. A Natural Art Museum In the Larsons’ House
C
In the days between a nighttime fire that consumes a building, and a typhoon (台风) hitting a remote place, Hirokazu Kore-eda’s “Monster” make up a story in which the most consequential and mysterious element is what makes the human heart work the way it does. Set in and around a lakeside town school where a mother’s righteous conflict with a new teacher parallels (与……并行) the growing bond between two outsider kids, this beautifully presented work from Kore-eda is a delicate web of compassion and embattlement: three separate views of one stretch of momentous time, spun and respun with care and craft.
Kore-eda has long been Japan’s master of melancholy (忧郁). As a director, he is known for his unique cinematic style. The changing perspective of movie “Monster” is a patient bid for honest understanding, a way to achieve grace. A one-truth movie that’s nevertheless thick with human complexity, it rotates flexibly, in tandem with the sorrow score that marks the great Ryuichi Sakamoto’s last film work. Ultimately, what begins as a case of justifiable anger ends up hiding a heartwarming story of acceptance. We just needed to see what we often don’t see, or don’t allow ourselves to recognize.
Once the focus lands on the touching reality between Minato and Yori, two characters in the movie, however, “Monster” has peeled away the intentions of adults to reveal a relationship between two isolated, imaginative children, who effortlessly realized by their young portrayers, and what feels like a ground-level origin story of humanism. But also of the misunderstandings arising from it that we’ve already seen morph into the “monster”-ization of others, something that Kore-eda takes pains to explain.
The kids themselves, as if mirroring the movie they’re in, talk excitedly of a “big crunch” coming, when the universe will expand and pop and everything will go backward. Is their fairy-tale inspiration, and the rebirth implied in it, sparked by the actions of the adults around them Who knows. But as composer Sakamoto’s farewell piano motive gives merciful bitterness to the closing loop of “Monster,” behavioral mysteries don’t seem so ungraspable, and the truth finally resembles a symbol of hope.
28. What can be inferred about Hirokazu Kore-eda from the passage
A. He hated being in school as a little kid.
B. He is proficient in drawing.
C. He has already made many successful films before.
D. He loves to make science fiction movies.
29.What does the underlined word “portrayers” probably mean
A. actors
B. weather forecasters
C. painters
D. teachers
30.What can we know from the third paragraph
A. People have misunderstandings about real monsters.
B. The island is often hit by typhoons
C. What Kore-eda wants to express is about learning.
D. Both Minato and Yori are lonely children.
31. In which part of a newspaper this article can be found
A. Advertisement
B. Entertainment
C. Economy
D. Weather
D
False and misleading information supercharged with cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) that threatens to erode democracy and polarize (极化) society is the top immediate risk to the global economy, the World Economic Forum said in a report Wednesday.
The Global Risks Report was released ahead of the annual elite gathering of CEOs and world leaders in the Swiss ski resort town of Davos and is based on a survey of nearly 1,500 experts, industry leaders and policymakers.
The report listed misinformation and disinformation as the most severe risk over the next two years, highlighting how rapid advances in technology also are creating new problems or making existing ones worse.AI-powered misinformation and disinformation is developing as a risk just as billions of people in many countries, including large economies like the U.S., Britain, Indonesia, India, Mexico and Pakistan, are set to head to the opinion polls this year and next, the report said.
"You can use AI to do deepfakes and to really impact large groups, which really drives misinformation," said Carolina Klint, a risk management leader at Marsh, whose parent company Marsh McLennan co-authored the report with Zurich Insurance Group. "Societies could become further polarized" as people find it harder to verify facts, she said. Fake information also could be used to fuel questions about the legitimacy of elected governments, "which means that democratic processes could be eroded, and it would also drive societal polarization even further," Klint said.
The rise of AI brings a host of other risks, she said. It can empower "malicious actors" by making it easier to carry out cyberattacks, such as by automating phishing attempts or creating advanced bad software. With AI, "you don't need to be the sharpest tool in the shed to be a malicious actor," Klint said. It can even poison data that is scraped off the internet to train other AI systems, which is "incredibly difficult to reverse" and could result in further embedding biases into AI models, she said.
32.What is the passage mainly about
A. The threat we are facing of artificial intelligence
B. Deepfakes that bring convenience to people's lives
C. Social division originating from artificial intelligence
D. The key role of the artificial intelligence in astronomy
33. What will happen in U.S. this year and next according to the passage
A. Donald Trump will become the President of the United States.
B. The United States will hold a public opinion poll.
C. The United States is about to erupt into a war.
D. AI will cause a large number of Americans to lose their jobs.
34. What does Carolina Klint say about the impact of AI on democratic processes
A. AI will enhance democratic processes greatly.
B. AI will have no impact on democratic processes.
C. AI could erode democratic processes and drive societal polarization further.
D. AI will improve the legitimacy of elected governments.
35. Which of the following statements is not implied in the text
A. The World Economic Forum considers AI-driven misinformation a serious threat.
B. The Global Risks Report was released specifically for the Davos meeting.
C. AI-powered misinformation can be used to challenge the legitimacy of elected governments.
D. All countries mentioned in the report are set to have elections this year and next.

On a summer day in 1961，Yuan Longping，the celebrated agronomist(农学家) whose death was widely mourned across China，was inspecting a test field in Hunan Province，when he came across a single rice plant bearing 230 grains. 36 and Yuan thought he may have found a naturally highyield strain of rice.
Yuan collected its grains and planted them the following year，hoping to find a way to boost rice yields in the nation.To his disappointment，the resulting plants demonstrated a variety of useful traits(特性)， 37 .With a background in genetic engineering，Yuan concluded that the parent must have been a hybrid.
“If natural hybrid rice had such a strong advantage，then artificially created hybrid rice should also have an advantage，” he wrote in an article.At that time，it was widely believed that rice could not be hybridized.Rice is a selfpollinating(自花传粉) crop， 38 .
To develop hybrid rice，it was necessary to find a sterile male plant and then use it to crossbreed with other varieties. 39 ，Yuan decided in 1964 to seriously study the possibilities.
The first breakthrough came in 1970，and after painstaking research and testing，the team successfully developed a hybridrice strain in 1973 and it was used in large scale cultivation.
40 where about 20 percent of the world’s population lives on less than 9 percent of the world’s arable land—and beyond.
A．but none was as productive as the parent
B．and as a result，his efforts finally paid off
C．It dwarfed the other plants in the field
D．Yuan’s dedication greatly boosted harvests in our country
E．Believing that there must be naturally occurring sterile males
F．Yuan once said that one of his lifelong wishes was to train people from all countries
G．and it is difficult to remove the male flowers and crossbreed them one by one

In our kitchen，there was a wooden table and three chairs—one for Dad，one for Mom，and one for me.In the cellar (地窖)，the very last jar of apple jam lay quietly on the shelf，waiting to be turned into an apple pie when Dad came back.Mom sat at one end of the table.I sat in the middle between her and Dad.I tried not to look at Dad’s empty place.Dad had gone to the city to look for work for a long time.
Every night，I lay awake in bed and waited for the train to stop.I waited to hear the creaky (嘎吱作响的) sound of the gate Dad was going to fix when he came home.I waited to hear the sound of his work boots dropping on the step by the kitchen door，and his voice calling，“I’m home！”
Every night，as I lay there，I stared at the window and the curtains Mom made of empty flour sacks (麻袋).
Every night，Mom came to kiss me goodnight—after the train had gone by.She was listening，too.“Go to sleep.Your dad will be home soon.Maybe for the holiday.”
Time dragging by，finally came the day before the holiday.I went to sleep with the sound of train wheels in my head，whispering，“Maybe tomorrow，maybe tomorrow.”
Early the next morning，the smell of coffee woke me.I ran into the kitchen.There he was！Dad lifted me onto his shoulders and pretended to stagger from my weight.“How’s my boy？You’ve gotten so big that I can barely lift you up anymore.”
He put me down，and I stared at the two sacks on the table.One said FLOUR—I knew that word.I tried reading the other：S－U－G－A－R.Dad whistled admiringly and winked at me.Mom and I had been practicing my letters most days.I could see that Mom was pleased with me.“I’m going to bake a pie for your Dad’s homecoming dinner.Jimmy，bring me that jar of apple jam from the shelf in the cellar，” Mom smiled at me.
