What are the best foreign films coming out in May Here are four of the best new films to watch.
Hypnotic
Nothing is what it seems in Hypnotic, a mind-bending plot thriller from Robert Rodriguez. Ben Affleck stars as a police detective who is disturbed by the disappearance of his daughter. He is investigating a series of bank robberies (抢劫) when a mystery woman tells him about “hypnotics”: people who have the power to make others believe and do anything they want by saying a single sentence.
Released on 11 May in Australia, 12 May in the US &26 May in the UK
The Little Mermaid
Another month, another live-action-and-CGI remake of a classic Disney cartoon. But this one is more distinctive than most, because a black actress, Halle Bailey, is playing the title character, who was white in the 1989 cartoon. Besides, the film’s director argues that his version of The Little Mermaid is progressive in other ways, too. “She and Prince Eric, played by Jonah Hauer-King, really teach the world about prejudice and about breaking down barriers and walls between these two worlds.” Also, there’s a singing crab (螃蟹).
On general release from 24 May
The Eight Mountains
All of the mountains in The Eight Mountains are unspoilt and breathtakingly beautiful. Some of them are in the Himalayas, but most are in the Italian alps, where Pietro, a city boy from Turin, befriends Bruno, the only child left in a remote rural village.
Released on 5 May in Japan, 12 May in the UK and Ireland, and 19 May in Spain and Finland
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3
It’s been six years since Marvel’s second Guardians of the Galaxy film came out. Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket, Drax and their partners are finally back for more adventures and this time they’re up against the High Evolutionary.
On general release from 15 May
1. What do we know about the police detective in Hypnotic
A. His daughter is missing. B. His magic is unbelievable.
C. He is involved in a bank robbery. D. He is cheated by a mystery woman.
2. What is special about The Little Mermaid
A. It is a live-action film. B. It stars a black actress.
C. It has a dancing crab in it. D. It results in racial inequality.

In 2000, a group of innovators in Denmark came up with a different kind of library —the Human Library. It has since transformed into a global phenomenon where “readers” can check out a human “book”. Each “title” offers an opportunity for dialogue over difficult questions, a process which the library hopes will help us all “un-judge” one another.
The first human library was organized by Ronni Abergel, his brother, and two colleagues. As a four-day event at a festival, the project was experimental. However, over a thousand readers came to read the human books available. The books themselves were chosen to represent often misunderstood groups. The initial library was a success leading to the foundation of the Human Library Organization, which has since carried on the lending of human books.
People can be part of the Human Library in two ways. One can volunteer to be a book and to offer first-hand knowledge of an experience or identity. Among the Human Library are books entitled “Alcoholic,” “Depression,” and so on. While these titles may seem simple and direct, the Human Library hopes readers will pick a topic but come to know the book for so much more than just the cover and title. Volunteer books agree to share their experiences — a commitment which requires patience, empathy (共情), and a level of comfort in sharing.
Another way to experience the Human Library is as a reader. Readers check out books for a certain amount of time. While being respectful, the library create s a space where readers can listen to the stories of books. Readers are encouraged to ask the difficult questions they always wondered but never had a chance to ask. Specifically, the library hopes it will be “a place where people who would otherwise never talk find room for conversation.”
The Human Library Organization today holds pop-up events around the world and even has permanent borrowing locations in several cities. They also work with companies as a rather unique provider of diversity and inclusion training.
8. What can we learn about the first human library
A. It was well received. B. It had only four workers.
C. It was misunderstood. D. It was a weekly project.
9. What is required of a volunteer book
A. Eagerness to learn. B. Painful experiences.
C. Willingness to share. D. Remarkable achievements.
10. How does the Human Library help readers
A. By creating a space for them to talk freely.
B. By encouraging them to open up to strangers.
C. By showing them how to be respectful of others.
D. By teaching them to solve difficult questions alone.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. The origin of the Human Library B. How to manage a Human Library
C. Borrowing people instead of books D. How to get along with human books
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The first human library was organized by Ronni Abergel, his brother, and two colleagues. As a four-day event at a festival, the project was experimental. However, over a thousand readers came to read the human books available. The books themselves were chosen to represent often misunderstood groups. The initial library was a success leading to the foundation of the Human Library Organization(第一个人类图书馆是由Ronni Abergel，他的兄弟和两个同事组织的。作为一个为期四天的节日活动，这个项目是实验性的。然而，超过一千名读者来阅读人类书籍。这些书本身代表了经常被误解的群体。最初的图书馆是成功的，带来了人类图书馆组织的建立)”可知，第一个人类图书馆很受欢迎。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Volunteer books agree to share their experiences — a commitment which requires patience, empathy (共情), and a level of comfort in sharing.(志愿者书籍同意分享他们的经历——这需要耐心、同理心和分享时的舒适)”可知，对志愿者书的要求是他们要有分享个人经历的意愿。故选C项。

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“In 2000, a group of innovators in Denmark came up with a different kind of library —the Human Library. It has since transformed into a global phenomenon where “readers” can check out a human “book”.(2000年，丹麦的一群创新者发明了一种不同的图书馆——人类图书馆。从那以后，它就变成了一种全球现象，“读者”可以借阅“人类书籍”)”和下文内容可知，文章介绍了丹麦创新者于2000年提出的一种新型图书馆——人类图书馆。该图书馆允许人们借阅“人类书籍”，即志愿者分享他们的经历和知识。人类图书馆的特别之处在于它借出的是“人”而不是书，所以“Borrowing people instead of books(借人而不是书)”是文章最佳标题。故选C项。
D
Have you ever felt a connection with others while singing, dancing, or listening to music together Psychologist Robin Dunbar says moving in sync (同步) can create strong bonds between people. He believes it helped early humans make larger groups and better communities.
Dunbar thinks humans found a way to get in tune with many people at the same time using voices or body movements. This let us make bigger groups than other primates (灵长类动物), who usually bond by cleaning their fur for each other. When people sing or dance in sync, they release feel-good chemicals, which help build relationships.
In one experiment with athletes, researchers found that those who worked out in sync with others were more resistant to pain. This may be because their endorphin (内啡肽) levels increased. In another study, people who danced in sync felt closer to others than those who danced separately.
One interesting experiment involved babies. It showed that they are more likely to help an adult if they previously bounced in sync with them. This suggests that even very young children can experience the bonding effects of synchrony. Research has also shown that we use both the left and right sides of the brain when we move in sync with others. Additionally, the brain’s reward system is activated, making us more likely to lend a hand to others when we are in sync.
Animals, like birds and fish, also show synchrony in their movements. This points to this kind of behavior having evolutionary roots. Flocks of birds flying in formation and schools of fish swimming together are examples of synchrony in the animal kingdom. This type of behavior helps animals stick together to protect themselves from danger and to find food more efficiently.
So, the next time you’re at a concert or dance party, remember that moving together not only feels good but also helps us bond with others and create a sense of unity.
12. What does Robin Dunbar think of synchrony
A. It requires plenty of practice.
B. It helps to bring people closer.
C. It improves the function of the body.
D. It sets humans apart from other animals.
13. What does research show about people in sync
A. They will be rewarded. B. They could be more helpful.
C. The y will live a happy life. D. They are unlikely to feel pain.
14. Why does the author mention “birds” and “fish” in paragraph 5
A. To prove they are different from other species.
B. To explain how they cooperate with each other.
C. To introduce how animals make use of synchrony.
D. To show synchrony also exists in the animal world.
15. What does the text mainly talk about concerning synchronized movement
A. Its variety. B. Its applications.
C. Its benefits. D. Its complexity.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Additionally, the brain’s reward system is activated, making us more likely to lend a hand to others when we are in sync.(此外，大脑的奖励系统被激活，使我们更有可能在我们同步的时候帮助别人。)”可知，研究表明同步的时候人们会更乐于助人。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段第一句“Animals, like birds and fish, also show synchrony in their movements.(像鸟和鱼这样的动物在运动中也表现出同步性。)”可知，第五段中提到鸟和鱼是为了表明动物界也存在同步性。故选D。

But keep in mind that there are continual costs after your plants are planted. ____19____ Besides, during their growth, some of your plants will die off due to weather, animals, etc. These can affect your garden’s return to you.
___20___ Some plants are more cost effective than others. But there’s no point in planting a high-return plant if you won’t eat it.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The snowstorm was supposed to hit the evening of Monday, January 31, 2022. I had to leave that afternoon at First Nations University in Regina to sign an emergency financial aid check for a student. As director of finance, I wanted to get it to him as soon as possible, snowstorm or not.
The route to the university takes about 30 minutes along the Trans-Canada Highway. It was just past 4:30 p. m. To be safe, I decided to take the country roads home instead of the highway, which could fast become a skating rink (溜冰场).
Fifteen minutes later, the snow started and it was coming down fast. Within minutes I was in a whiteout. The road soon switched from paved to gravel, forcing me to slow down. I had no idea where I was or even which side of the road I was on. I stopped because I was afraid of driving into a farmer’s field, a ditch or worse. I called 911. The dispatcher (调度员) told me nobody was coming to get me until morning at the earliest.
Those seconds after the call were extremely difficult. I worried other drivers wouldn’t see me and would crash into the car from the front or behind. Or the storm would continue for longer than predicted and I’d be found too late.
Breathe, I told myself. Panicking won’t help. I pinned my location on Google Maps, figuring out that I was on a road called Bouvier Lane, in between two farms. It was now 6:30 p.m. I posted this new information to my Facebook community group, begging for anyone who knew who lived on the farms to help me get rescued.
Soon enough, people started responding to my post. They knew the family who lived there! At 8 p.m., my cell phone rang. It was the son of the farmer who owned the land beside the road. He told me that his dad André Bouvier was coming to get me.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考答案
45 minutes later, I saw a tall figure walking toward me, carrying a flashlight. I’d never been more relieved to see him. He had walked about half an hour to come to get me, fighting the wind and snow each step of the way. “Follow me in your car.” He turned around and started to trudge through the snow, sure of the direction. I drove slowly behind him, feeling my heart begin to beat more slowly. When we reached the house, I burst into tears, all my fears turning into relief and gratitude. His wife treated me to a rich dinner. I had a sound sleep.
The next morning, I decided to say goodbye to Andréand his family. Andréhad cleared the snow from his driveway enough that I could get out and drive home. I hugged the old couple, repeating thanks again and again. Words escaped me. It turned out that it was only five minutes away from my home. The experience has been a game changer for me. I now approach challenges with a sense of calm I’d not known before. But best of all, it brought André into my life. We’re still in touch, and I know we’ll be friends forever.

The Little Mermaid
Another month, another live-action-and-CGI remake of a classic Disney cartoon. But this one is more distinctive than most, because a black actress, Halle Bailey, is playing the title character, who was white in the 1989 cartoon. Besides, the film’s director argues that his version of The Little Mermaid is progressive in other ways, too. “She and Prince Eric, played by Jonah Hauer-King, really teach the world about prejudice and about breaking down barriers and walls between these two worlds.” Also, there’s a singing crab (螃蟹).

In 2000, a group of innovators in Denmark came up with a different kind of library —the Human Library. It has since transformed into a global phenomenon where “readers” can check out a human “book”. Each “title” offers an opportunity for dialogue over difficult questions, a process which the library hopes will help us all “un-judge” one another.
The first human library was organized by Ronni Abergel, his brother, and two colleagues. As a four-day event at a festival, the project was experimental. However, over a thousand readers came to read the human books available. The books themselves were chosen to represent often misunderstood groups. The initial library was a success leading to the foundation of the Human Library Organization, which has since carried on the lending of human books.
People can be part of the Human Library in two ways. One can volunteer to be a book and to offer first-hand knowledge of an experience or identity. Among the Human Library are books entitled “Alcoholic” “Depression,” and so on. While these titles may seem simple and direct, the Human Library hopes readers will pick a topic but come to know the book for so much more than just the cover and title. Volunteer books agree to share their experiences — a commitment which requires patience, empathy (共情), and a level of comfort in sharing.
Another way to experience the Human Library is as a reader. Readers check out books for a certain amount of time. While being respectful, the library create s a space where readers can listen to the stories of books. Readers are encouraged to ask the difficult questions they always wondered but never had a chance to ask. Specifically, the library hopes it will be “a place where people who would otherwise never talk find room for conversation.”
The Human Library Organization today holds pop-up events around the world and even has permanent borrowing locations in several cities They also work with companies as a rather unique provider of diversity and inclusion training.
8. What can we learn about the first human library
A. It was well received. B. It had only four workers.
C. It was misunderstood. D. It was a weekly project.
9. What is required of a volunteer book
A. Eagerness to learn. B. Painful experiences.
C. Willingness to share. D. Remarkable achievements.
10. How does the Human Library help readers
A. By creating a space for them to talk freely.

Have you ever felt a connection with others while singing dancing, or listening to music together Psychologist Robin Dunbar says moving in sync (同步) can create strong bonds between people. He believes it helped early humans make larger groups and better communities.
Dunbar thinks humans found a way to get in tune with many people at the same time using voices or body movements. This let us make bigger groups than other primates (灵长类动物), who usually bond by cleaning their fur for each other. When people sing or dance in sync, they release feel-good chemicals, which help build relationships.
In one experiment with athletes, researchers found that those who worked out in sync with others were more resistant to pain. This may be because their endorphin (内啡肽) levels increased. In another study, people who danced in sync felt closer to others than those who danced separately.
One interesting experiment involved babies. It showed that they are more likely to help an adult if they previously bounced in sync with them. This suggests that even very young children can experience the bonding effects of synchrony. Research has also shown that we use both the left and right sides of the brain when we move in sync with others. Additionally, the brain’s reward system is activated, making us more likely to lend a hand to others when we are in sync.
Animals, like birds and fish, also show synchrony in their movements. This points to this kind of behavior having evolutionary roots. Flocks of birds flying in formation and schools of fish swimming together are examples of synchrony in the animal kingdom. This type of behavior helps animals stick together to protect themselves from danger and to find food more efficiently.
So, the next time you’re at a concert or dance party, remember that moving together not only feels good but also helps us bond with others and create a sense of unity.
12. What does Robin Dunbar think of synchrony
A. It requires plenty of practice.
B. It helps to bring people closer.
C. It improves the function of the body.
D. It sets humans apart from other animals.
13. What does research show about people in sync

14. Why does the author mention “birds” and “fish” in paragraph 5
A. To prove they are different from other species.
B. To explain how they cooperate with each other.
C. To introduce how animals make use of synchrony.
D. To show synchrony also exists in the animal world.
15. What does the text mainly talk about concerning synchronized movement
A. Its variety. B. Its applications.

The snowstorm was supposed to hit the evening of Monday, January 31, 2022. I had to leave that afternoon at First Nations University in Regina to sign an emergency financial aid check for a student. As director of finance, I wanted to get it to him as soon as possible, snowstorm or not.
The route to the university takes about 30 minutes along the Trans-Canada Highway. It was just past 4:30 p. m. To be safe, I decided to take the country roads home instead of the highway, which could fast become a skating rink (溜冰场).
Fifteen minutes later, the snow started and it was coming down fast. Within minutes I was in a whiteout. The road soon switched from paved to gravel, forcing me to slow down. I had no idea where I was or even which side of the road I was on. I stopped because I was afraid of driving into a farmer’s field, a ditch or worse. I called 911. The dispatcher (调度员) told me nobody was coming to get me until morning at the earliest.
Those seconds after the call were extremely difficult. I worried other drivers wouldn’t see me and would crash into the car from the front or behind. Or the storm would continue for longer than predicted and I’d be found too late.
Breathe, I told myself. Panicking won’t help. I pinned my location on Google Maps, figuring out that I was on a road called Bouvier Lane, in between two farms. It was now 6:30 p.m. I posted this new information to my Facebook community group, begging for anyone who knew who lived on the farms to help me get rescued.
Soon enough, people started responding to my post. They knew the family who lived there! At 8 p.m., my cell phone rang. It was the son of the farmer who owned the land beside the road. He told me that his dad André Bouvier was coming to get me.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
45 minutes later, I saw a tall figure walking toward me, carrying a flashlight.
