语篇品读 Traveling between Earth and space in an elevator, moving Earth away from the sun with huge engines. If you have watched the sci-fi blockbuster The Wandering Earth II, you must have been wowed (惊呆)by these surprising technologies. How far are these imaginative ideas from reality Let’s take a look. It was released on Jan. 22, the first day of Chinese New Year. The preparation, shooting and post-production lasted more than 1,400 days. It involved 5,310 conceptual-design drawings, more than 950,000 prop and costume items, and over 4,000 visual-effects shots. Fortunately, it has scored big at the box office and aroused heated discussion on social media platforms, drawing attention to the technologies and stories behind the movie. It marks the entry of Chinese-style sci-fi movies to the world’s forefront. The Wandering Earth II mainly tells the story of human beings building planetary (行星的) engines on the surfaces of Earth and the moon, in order to cope with the rapid expansion of the sun. This film explores the themes of sacrifice, survival, and the indomitable human spirit in the face of seemingly insurmountable(无法克服的) obstacles. What makes the series special is its heroic protagonists(主人公). Unlike the elites who save the world in most Western superhero films, The Wandering Earth II focuses on a group of ordinary people with different nationalities and backgrounds who make sacrifices to protect their home. They also illustrates the spirit of unity that flows through the blood of Chinese people and can be shared with the rest of the world. Liu Cixin, China’s famous sci-fi writer and Hugo Award winner, wrote on his Sina Weibo page: “The creators of The Wandering Earth II are very similar to their characters in the movie, taking great courage and innovative spirit as the engine to push the planet of sci-fi movies into the future. We know that there is still a long way to go for China’s science fiction, but fortunately, there is a group of people who will never stop pushing forward.” 全文翻译 乘电梯在地球和太空之间穿梭，用巨大的引擎把地球从太阳移开。如果你看过科幻大片《流浪地球2》，你一定会被这些令人惊讶的技术所震撼。这些想象中的想法离现实有多远 让我们来看一看。 该片于1月22日中国新年的第一天上映。筹备、拍摄和后期制作历时1400多天。它涉及5310张概念设计图纸，超过95万件道具和服装，以及4000多个视觉效果镜头。幸运的是，它取得了巨大的票房成绩，在社交媒体平台上引起了热烈的讨论，人们开始关注这部电影背后的技术和故事。它标志着中国风格的科幻电影走向了世界的前沿。 《流浪地球2》主要讲述了人类为了应对太阳的快速膨胀，在地球和月球表面建造行星发动机的故事。这部电影探讨了牺牲、生存和面对看似不可逾越的障碍时不屈不挠的人类精神的主题。这部剧的特别之处在于它的英雄主人公。与大多数西方超级英雄电影中拯救世界的精英不同，《流浪地球2》关注的是一群不同国籍和背景的普通人，他们为了保护自己的家园而做出牺牲。他们还展示了流淌在中国人民血液中的团结精神，可以与世界其他国家分享。 中国著名科幻作家、雨果奖得主刘慈欣在他的新浪微博上写道:“《流浪地球2》的创作者与电影中的角色非常相似，他们以巨大的勇气和创新精神作为引擎，将科幻电影的星球推向未来。我们知道中国的科幻小说还有很长的路要走，但幸运的是，有一群人永远不会停止前进。” 词汇积累 1. imaginative adj. 有想象力的 2．release v. 发布 3．Involve v. 涉及 4．arouse v. 激起，引起(感情、态度); 激发; 唤醒; 5．draw attention to 关注 6．mark v. 标记 7．cope with 处理 8．expansion n. 膨胀，扩大 9．sacrifice n. 牺牲 10．In the face of 面对 11．obstacle n. 障碍，障碍物 12．flow through 流过 13．Focus on 集中 14．Illustrate 显示 15．be similar to 与……相似 16．Innovative adj. 创新的，革新的 17．push forward 向前进

语篇品读 Film and TV shun people with disabilities —https/www. Historically, able actors who play characters with disabilities have been rewarded for their performances with praise and even Academy Awards. But now viewers are getting tired of the lack of representation for the disability community on screen. Authenticity(真实性)is the new requirement. Of people age 16 and older, a study found that 55%would like to see characters with disabilities portrayed authentically. “We see the belief that playing a disability is great acting," said Jay Ruderman, mentioning that many actors have won Oscars for playing disabilities. “We felt that the next step was to show the buying power of the disability community and all the money that studios are leaving on the table by not showing disability authentically.” Part of the issue is that the disability community is often left out. Films such as Black Panther and Crazy Rich Asians showed that movies by and about rarely-seen groups could become blockbuster(轰动一时的大片) hits worldwide.“It'simportant - it's the right thing to do," noted Dr. Hanna Shaul Bar Nissim. “But at the end of the day, the entertainment industry is a business, and we really wanted to look at the data objectively to see, is there a bottom line here " One actor with cerebral palsy (脑瘫), Mitte, believes that this has deep reasons. Mitte always struggled against being “laughed at" by his disability. “A lot of people see disability as an illness, as a weakness.”Those in favor of seeing disability on screen tend to be younger and more connected to newer media such as streaming services. Woodburn said,” This generation loves social media, and it has been a useful place for the disabled community to speak for themselves.” 全文翻译 影视行业是残疾人的禁区？ 从历史上看，扮演残疾角色的有能力的演员会因为他们的表演而获得赞誉，甚至奥斯卡奖。但现在观众已经厌倦了银幕上缺乏残疾人群体的代表性，真实性成为了新的要求。 一项研究发现，在16岁及以上的人群中，55%的人希望看到真实的残疾人形象。“我们看到了这样一种信念，即扮演残疾人是伟大的表演，”杰伊·鲁德曼说，他提到许多演员因扮演残疾人而获得奥斯卡奖。“我们认为，下一步是展示残疾人社区的购买力，以及工作室通过不真实地展示残疾人而放弃的所有资金。” 部分原因是残疾人群体经常被排除在外。《黑豹》和《摘金奇缘》等电影表明，由很少人看到的群体制作或讲述这些群体的电影也可能成为全球大片(轰)。“这很重要——这是正确的事情，”汉娜·肖尔·巴尔·尼西姆博士指出。“但归根结底，娱乐业是一门生意，我们真的想客观地看待这些数据，看看这里是否有底线 ” 患有脑瘫的演员米特(Mitte)认为，这有深刻的原因。米特一直在与自己的残疾所带来的“嘲笑”作斗争。“很多人认为残疾是一种疾病，是一种弱点。”那些赞成在屏幕上看到残疾的人往往更年轻，更喜欢流媒体服务等新媒体。伍德伯恩说:“这一代人喜欢社交媒体，这是残疾人群体为自己发声的一个有用场所。” 句式仿写 1．他没有来的原因是他母亲病了。(that 引导表语从句) ________________________________________________ 2. 对我来说真可惜错过了这么好的机会。(it is +n. for sb. to do…) ______________________________________________ 3．人们认为网上购物更方便。（the belief that…） _____________________________________________

(2023春·四川自贡·高一统考期末)Everything Everywhere All At Once star Michelle Yeoh recently made history by becoming the first Asian woman to win “Best Actress” at the Academy Awards. She won the award for her role as Evelyn Quan Wang, a middle-aged laundry owner and Chinese-American immigrant who discovers multiple versions of herself in parallel universes. In Evelyn’s attempts to save the multiverse(多元宇宙) from destruction, the film takes a mind-bending trip through different types, mixing absurdist humour with heartfelt explorations of human connection.
However, before Yeoh landed the role, she was not a big name in Hollywood. In fact, many critics have incorrectly described her performance in Everything Everywhere All At Once as her breakthrough, despite she beginning her acting career in the 1980s. Although Yeoh did find mainstream success upon starring in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, her role in EEAAO has truly given the actor the fame she finally deserves.
Before Yeoh made it to Hollywood, she appeared in many Hong Kong action movies, performing most of the stunts (特技) by herself, even though she had never been formally trained to do so. Her first role came in 1984 with The Owl vs Bombo. However, her leading role in 1985’s Yes, Madam saw Yeoh become a star of Chinese cinema. It was the 21st-highest-income film of the year in Hong Kong, and Yeoh’s performance, particularly the fight scenes, was praised.
However, Yeoh has actively spoken out against Hollywood’s lack of accessibility for women of colour, also pointing out her inability to find roles as she has grown older. Thus, over the decades, it was really hard for Yeoh to gain success in Hollywood, although her recent Oscar win is sure to finally send her to even greater, well-deserved heights.
1. What can we learn about the film Everything Everywhere All At Once
A. It features self-exploration.
B. All the actors have been awarded in Oscar.
C. It has become the annual best-seller around the world.
D. It is about a common people’s road to become an Oscar winner.
2. What do the underlined words “a big name” mean in paragraph 2
A. A trouble maker. B. A black sheep.
C. A social butterfly. D. A major player.
3. What can we say about Michelle Yeoh as an actress
A. She lacks experience in martial arts. B. She has never gained success in Hollywood.
C. She has put great efforts into her own stunts. D. She prefers to play Chinese characters in her life.
4. Why was it hard for Michelle Yeoh to succeed in Hollywood
A. The characters in Hollywood are hard to play as she grows older.
B. The market of martial arts films in Hollywood is getting weak.
C. She is faced with inequality of colour and age in Hollywood.
D. Hollywood dislikes actresses with an outspoken character.
【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 4. C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是著名演员杨紫琼(Michelle Yeoh)的个人生平和取得的成就。
1. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In Evelyn’s attempts to save the multiverse (多元宇宙) from destruction, the film takes a mind-bending trip through different types, mixing absurdist humour with heartfelt explorations of human connection. (在Evelyn试图拯救多元宇宙免于毁灭的过程中，这部电影进行了一次不同类型的令人费解的旅行，将荒诞幽默与对人际关系的真诚探索结合在一起。)”可知，这部电影将荒诞幽默与对人际关系的真诚探索结合在一起，由此可知，这是一部自我探索的电影。故选A项。
2. 词义猜测题。根据划线短语后的“In fact, many critics have incorrectly described her performance in Everything Everywhere All At Once as her breakthrough, despite she beginning her acting career in the 1980s. (事实上，许多评论家错误地将她在《无处不在》中的表演描述为她的突破，尽管她在20世纪80年代开始了她的演艺生涯。)”可知，很多评论认为这是杨紫琼在表演上的突破，由此可猜测，在杨紫琼出演这部戏前，在好莱坞电影里出演的都不是什么大角色，所以该短语的意思是“一名主要演员”。故选D项。
3. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Before Yeoh made it to Hollywood, she appeared in many Hong Kong action movies, performing most of the stunts (特技) by herself, even though she had never been formally trained to do so. (在杨紫琼进入好莱坞之前，她出演了许多香港动作电影，尽管她从未接受过正式的动作训练，但大部分的特技都是她自己表演的)”可知，杨紫琼虽未受过正式训练，但是在演出香港动作电影时，很多的特技都是她自己出演，由此可知，她为自己的特技付出了很多努力。故选C项。
4. 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“However, Yeoh has actively spoken out against Hollywood’s lack of accessibility for women of colour, also pointing out her inability to find roles as she has grown older. (然而，杨紫琼积极发声，反对好莱坞对有色人种女性缺乏亲和力，并指出随着年龄的增长，她找不到角色。)”可知，杨紫琼反对好莱坞队有色人种女性的歧视，随着年龄增长，找个角色出演都很困难，由此可知，她在好莱坞受到了肤色和年龄的不平等对待。故选C项。

(2023春·河南郑州·高一统考期末)In the countryside in Fuzhou, Fujian, there is a girl, her little brother, their grandma and a cat named Hua Juan. In the eyes of Hua Juan, the grandma treats the boy and the girl very differently — she saves milk for the boy and feeds him as if he were a baby, not paying much attention to the girl. One day, Hua Juan falls asleep and starts to have a dream. Everything begins to change.
This is the story told in the short film I’m Hua Juan, which explores a heavy topic -the traditional preference for sons over daughters. The film helped 18-year- old Zhu Manlin win the best director award at the 2021 International Teen Short Film Festival. The competition aims to encourage middle school students internationally to look at the world around them through images and pay attention to their position within it.
Zhu, a student at Fuzhou Senior High School, said she got the idea of the film from stories she heard. “Gender (性别) preference is still a common thing. Three out of the five members of our filming team have such families with older sisters and younger brothers,” said Zhu. “Many people may take it for granted, but not for a cat. I tell the story from the viewpoint of a cat to encourage the audience to take another look at reality.”
As the director and photographer, Zhu together with her teammates spent about two months writing the script (剧本), shooting the video and editing. She used several key scenes to show the grandma’s preference for the boy: more meat in his bowl, gentler words and interesting toys, while the girl is ignored and accompanied only by Hua Juan. The strong comparison can help viewers better emotionally connect with the girl and reflect on the unfavorable situation of other girls in the same situation. Zhu also set a scene in which the girl looks through the crack of a door and sees a part from the film Sister, which describes An Ran, a girl who struggles to pursue her own dream while having to raise her younger brother after their parents died in a car crash. “I want fewer girls to have to bear such burdens as An Ran and instead bravely fight for their own rights,” said Zhu.
While the theme is realistic, the visuals are artistic. In the film, real life is in black and white while dreams are colorful. Zhu also shot the film in a square format to give it an unusual feeling as well as a sense of seriousness. She wants viewers to focus on the main story, using close-up shots to resonate with the emotions of the young actors while ignoring other unimportant factors.
Zhu said her favorite director is Lee Chang-dong from South Korea, who cares about reality but also stays poetic. “I wish I could make such films one day,” she said.
5. What can be known about the film I’m Hua Juan
A. It has a theme of gender preference. B. It is adapted from a novel of the same name.
C. It took the team about half a year to make it. D. It is based on the director’s personal experience.
6. Why is the story told through a cat’s eyes
A. To make the story more attractive.
B. To explain what role pets play in our life.
C. To get people to look at things in a different way.
D. To connect the story better with a younger audience.
7. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The problems Zhu had shooting the film.
B. The way Zhu directed and made the film.
C. The inspiration Zhu got from the film Sister.
D. The similarity between Zhu’s film and the film Sister.
8. How does Zhu attract viewers to the main story
A. By focusing on social reality. B. By using close-up shots in the film.
C. By shooting the film in black and white. D. By expressing emotions in a poetic way.
【答案】5. A 6. C 7. B 8. B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《我是花卷》这部电影的大概内容、主题以及导演的拍摄过程。
5. 细节理解题。根据第二段“This is the story told in the short film I’m Hua Juan, which explores a heavy topic -the traditional preference for sons over daughters.(这是短片《我是花卷》中的故事，它探讨了一个沉重的话题——重男轻女的传统)”可知，《我是花卷》的主题是性别偏好。故选A。
6. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Many people may take it for granted, but not for a cat. I tell the story from the viewpoint of a cat to encourage the audience to take another look at reality.(很多人可能认为这是理所当然的，但对猫来说却不是。我从猫的角度讲述这个故事，是为了鼓励观众从另一个角度看待现实)”可知，这个故事是通过猫的眼睛讲的是为了让人们以不同的方式看待事物。故选C。
7. 段落大意题。根据第四段“As the director and photographer, Zhu together with her teammates spent about two months writing the script (剧本), shooting the video and editing. She used several key scenes to show the grandma’s preference for the boy: more meat in his bowl, gentler words and interesting toys, while the girl is ignored and accompanied only by Hua Juan. The strong comparison can help viewers better emotionally connect with the girl and reflect on the unfavorable situation of other girls in the same situation. Zhu also set a scene in which the girl looks through the crack of a door and sees a part from the film Sister, which describes An Ran, a girl who struggles to pursue her own dream while having to raise her younger brother after their parents died in a car crash. “I want fewer girls to have to bear such burdens as An Ran and instead bravely fight for their own rights,” said Zhu.(作为导演和摄影师，朱和她的队友们花了大约两个月的时间来写剧本，拍摄视频和剪辑。她用了几个关键的场景来表现奶奶对男孩的偏爱：碗里有更多的肉，更温柔的话语和有趣的玩具，而女孩被忽视，只有花卷陪伴。强烈的对比可以帮助观众更好地与女孩建立情感联系，并反思其他女孩在同样情况下的不利处境。朱还设置了一个场景，女孩透过门缝看到了电影《妹妹》中的一个片段。《妹妹》描述了一个女孩安然，在父母死于车祸后，她努力追求自己的梦想，同时还要抚养弟弟。“我想让更少的女孩承担像安然这样的负担，而是勇敢地为自己的权利而战。”)”可知，第四段的主要内容是朱导演和制作这部电影的方式。故选B。
8. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“She wants viewers to focus on the main story, using close-up shots to resonate with the emotions of the young actors while ignoring other unimportant factors.(她希望观众把注意力集中在主要故事上，用特写镜头与年轻演员的情感产生共鸣，而忽略其他不重要的因素)”可知，朱通过在电影中使用特写镜头将观众吸引到故事主线上来的。故选B。

人与自我 人生态度 著名影视明星莱斯利·尼尔森的星路历程 304 6min ★★★★☆
(2021·浙江高考·A)
Leslie Nielsen’s childhood was a difficult one, but he had one particular shining star in his life—his uncle, who was a well-known actor. The admiration and respect his uncle earned inspired Nielsen to make a career(职业)in acting. Even though he often felt he would be discovered to be a no-talent, he moved forward, gaining a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse and making his first television appearance a few years later in 1948. However, becoming a full-time, successful actor would still be an uphill battle for another eight years until he landed a number of film roles that finally got him noticed.
But even then, what he had wasn’t quite what he wanted. Nielsen always felt he should be doing comedy but his good looks and distinguished voice kept him busy in dramatic roles. It wasn’t until 1980—32 years into his career—that he landed the role it would seem he was made for in Airplane! That movie led him into the second half of his career where his comedic presence alone could make a movie a financial success even when movie reviewers would not rate it highly.
Did Nielsen then feel content in his career Yes and no. He was thrilled to be doing the comedy that he always felt he should do, but even during his last few years, he always had a sense of curiosity, wondering what new role or challenge might be just around the corner. He never stopped working, never retired.
Leslie Nielsen’s devotion to acting is wonderfully inspiring. He built a hugely successful career with little more than plain old hard work and determination. He showed us that even a single desire, never given up on, can make for a remarkable life.
21.Why did Nielsen want to be an actor
A.He enjoyed watching movies.
B.He was eager to earn money.
C.He wanted to be like his uncle.
D.He felt he was good at acting.
22.What do we know about Nielsen in the second half of his career
A.He directed some high quality movies.
B.He avoided taking on new challenges.
C.He focused on playing dramatic roles.
D.He became a successful comedy actor.
23.What does Nielsen’s career story tell us
A.Art is long, life is short.
B.He who laughs last laughs longest.
C.It’s never too late to learn.
D.Where there’s a will there’s a way.

人与社会 体育锻炼 电影导演让孩子们应多参加户外活动的一些方法 319 6min ★★★★☆
We live in a town with three beaches. There are two parks less than 10 minutes’ walk from home where neighbourhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen—any screen—and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Today’s children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, split between watching television and using the Internet.
In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend. A couple of years ago, film-maker David Bond realised that his children, then aged five and three, were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say “chocolate” into his three-year-old son’s ear without getting a response. He realised that something needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed himself “marketing director for Nature”. He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the Wild Network,a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
“Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference,” David Bond says. “There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will be a habit for life.” His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: “We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while.”
Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.
24.What is the problem with the author’s children
A.They often annoy the neighbours.
B.They are tired of doing their homework.
C.They have no friends to play with.
D.They stay in front of screens for too long.
25.How did David Bond advocate his idea
A.By making a documentary film.
B.By organizing outdoor activities.
C.By advertising in London media.
D.By creating a network of friends.
26.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “charts” in Paragraph 2
A.records B.predicts
C.delays D.confirms
27.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Let Children Have Fun
B.Young Children Need More Free Time
C.Market Nature to Children
D.David Bond: A Role Model for Children
【导语】 作者通过介绍自己的孩子们总是因为盯着电脑等电子屏幕而不去户外活动,引出了电影导演David Bond培养自己的孩子们养成户外活动、锻炼身体的习惯所使用的方法。
24.【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据题干中的the problem with the author’s children可以定位答案在第一段。根据第一段的 what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen—any screen—and stare at it for hours.可知,作者的孩子们放学后想做的第一件事就是拿起一个屏幕——任何一个屏幕——盯着它看上几个小时。说明作者的孩子们的问题是看屏幕的时间太长。故选D。
25.【解析】选A。 细节理解题。根据题干中的David Bond advocate his idea可以定位答案在第二段。根据第二段的 being a London media type, appointed himself“marketing director for Nature”. He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the Wild Network, a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature 可知,电影导演David Bond 利用媒体向孩子们推销大自然,记录了过程,并且拍成了一部电影Project Wild Thing,因此说明他是通过制作纪录片的形式来倡导自己想让孩子们少看电子屏幕,多接触大自然的想法。故选A。
26.【解析】选A。 词义猜测题。第二段画线词前面的句子He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people 中的documented表示“记录”的意思。再结合画线词后面的the birth of the Wild Network可知,他的纪录片记录了一个活动组织的诞生,charts表示“记录”因此A项符合语境。
27.【解析】选C。 标题归纳题。本文首先通过作者回忆自己小时候在外面玩,与现在很多孩子们花费在屏幕上的时间过长,而不再到户外玩作对比,使很多人意识到了这个问题,并且以电影导演 David Bond为例,拍摄纪录片,倡导孩子们不要过多地玩手机、看电视,应该积极到户外,到大自然中参与活动,因此C项(向孩子们推销大自然),诠释出了全文的意义。

语篇品读 Traveling between Earth and space in an elevator, moving Earth away from the sun with huge engines. If you have watched the sci-fi blockbuster The Wandering Earth II, you must have been wowed (惊呆)by these surprising technologies. How far are these imaginative ideas from reality Let’s take a look. It was released on Jan. 22, the first day of Chinese New Year. The preparation, shooting and post-production lasted more than 1,400 days. It involved 5,310 conceptual-design drawings, more than 950,000 prop and costume items, and over 4,000 visual-effects shots. Fortunately, it has scored big at the box office and aroused heated discussion on social media platforms, drawing attention to the technologies and stories behind the movie. It marks the entry of Chinese-style sci-fi movies to the world’s forefront. The Wandering Earth II mainly tells the story of human beings building planetary (行星的) engines on the surfaces of Earth and the moon, in order to cope with the rapid expansion of the sun. This film explores the themes of sacrifice, survival, and the indomitable human spirit in the face of seemingly insurmountable(无法克服的) obstacles. What makes the series special is its heroic protagonists(主人公). Unlike the elites who save the world in most Western superhero films, The Wandering Earth II focuses on a group of ordinary people with different nationalities and backgrounds who make sacrifices to protect their home. They also illustrates the spirit of unity that flows through the blood of Chinese people and can be shared with the rest of the world. Liu Cixin, China’s famous sci-fi writer and Hugo Award winner, wrote on his Sina Weibo page: “The creators of The Wandering Earth II are very similar to their characters in the movie, taking great courage and innovative spirit as the engine to push the planet of sci-fi movies into the future. We know that there is still a long way to go for China’s science fiction, but fortunately, there is a group of people who will never stop pushing forward.” 全文翻译 乘电梯在地球和太空之间穿梭，用巨大的引擎把地球从太阳移开。如果你看过科幻大片《流浪地球2》，你一定会被这些令人惊讶的技术所震撼。这些想象中的想法离现实有多远 让我们来看一看。 该片于1月22日中国新年的第一天上映。筹备、拍摄和后期制作历时1400多天。它涉及5310张概念设计图纸，超过95万件道具和服装，以及4000多个视觉效果镜头。幸运的是，它取得了巨大的票房成绩，在社交媒体平台上引起了热烈的讨论，人们开始关注这部电影背后的技术和故事。它标志着中国风格的科幻电影走向了世界的前沿。 《流浪地球2》主要讲述了人类为了应对太阳的快速膨胀，在地球和月球表面建造行星发动机的故事。这部电影探讨了牺牲、生存和面对看似不可逾越的障碍时不屈不挠的人类精神的主题。这部剧的特别之处在于它的英雄主人公。与大多数西方超级英雄电影中拯救世界的精英不同，《流浪地球2》关注的是一群不同国籍和背景的普通人，他们为了保护自己的家园而做出牺牲。他们还展示了流淌在中国人民血液中的团结精神，可以与世界其他国家分享。 中国著名科幻作家、雨果奖得主刘慈欣在他的新浪微博上写道:“《流浪地球2》的创作者与电影中的角色非常相似，他们以巨大的勇气和创新精神作为引擎，将科幻电影的星球推向未来。我们知道中国的科幻小说还有很长的路要走，但幸运的是，有一群人永远不会停止前进。” 词汇积累 1. imaginative adj. 有想象力的 2．release v. 发布 3．Involve v. 涉及 4．arouse v. 激起，引起(感情、态度); 激发; 唤醒; 5．draw attention to 关注 6．mark v. 标记 7．cope with 处理 8．expansion n. 膨胀，扩大 9．sacrifice n. 牺牲 10．In the face of 面对 11．obstacle n. 障碍，障碍物 12．flow through 流过 13．Focus on 集中 14．Illustrate 显示 15．be similar to 与……相似 16．Innovative adj. 创新的，革新的 17．push forward 向前进

语篇品读 Film and TV shun people with disabilities —https/www. Historically, able actors who play characters with disabilities have been rewarded for their performances with praise and even Academy Awards. But now viewers are getting tired of the lack of representation for the disability community on screen. Authenticity(真实性)is the new requirement. Of people age 16 and older, a study found that 55%would like to see characters with disabilities portrayed authentically. “We see the belief that playing a disability is great acting," said Jay Ruderman, mentioning that many actors have won Oscars for playing disabilities. “We felt that the next step was to show the buying power of the disability community and all the money that studios are leaving on the table by not showing disability authentically.” Part of the issue is that the disability community is often left out. Films such as Black Panther and Crazy Rich Asians showed that movies by and about rarely-seen groups could become blockbuster(轰动一时的大片) hits worldwide.“It'simportant - it's the right thing to do," noted Dr. Hanna Shaul Bar Nissim. “But at the end of the day, the entertainment industry is a business, and we really wanted to look at the data objectively to see, is there a bottom line here " One actor with cerebral palsy (脑瘫), Mitte, believes that this has deep reasons. Mitte always struggled against being “laughed at" by his disability. “A lot of people see disability as an illness, as a weakness.”Those in favor of seeing disability on screen tend to be younger and more connected to newer media such as streaming services. Woodburn said,” This generation loves social media, and it has been a useful place for the disabled community to speak for themselves.” 全文翻译 影视行业是残疾人的禁区？ 从历史上看，扮演残疾角色的有能力的演员会因为他们的表演而获得赞誉，甚至奥斯卡奖。但现在观众已经厌倦了银幕上缺乏残疾人群体的代表性，真实性成为了新的要求。 一项研究发现，在16岁及以上的人群中，55%的人希望看到真实的残疾人形象。“我们看到了这样一种信念，即扮演残疾人是伟大的表演，”杰伊·鲁德曼说，他提到许多演员因扮演残疾人而获得奥斯卡奖。“我们认为，下一步是展示残疾人社区的购买力，以及工作室通过不真实地展示残疾人而放弃的所有资金。” 部分原因是残疾人群体经常被排除在外。《黑豹》和《摘金奇缘》等电影表明，由很少人看到的群体制作或讲述这些群体的电影也可能成为全球大片(轰)。“这很重要——这是正确的事情，”汉娜·肖尔·巴尔·尼西姆博士指出。“但归根结底，娱乐业是一门生意，我们真的想客观地看待这些数据，看看这里是否有底线 ” 患有脑瘫的演员米特(Mitte)认为，这有深刻的原因。米特一直在与自己的残疾所带来的“嘲笑”作斗争。“很多人认为残疾是一种疾病，是一种弱点。”那些赞成在屏幕上看到残疾的人往往更年轻，更喜欢流媒体服务等新媒体。伍德伯恩说:“这一代人喜欢社交媒体，这是残疾人群体为自己发声的一个有用场所。” 句式仿写 1．他没有来的原因是他母亲病了。(that 引导表语从句) ________________________________________________ 2. 对我来说真可惜错过了这么好的机会。(it is +n. for sb. to do…) ______________________________________________ 3．人们认为网上购物更方便。（the belief that…） _____________________________________________

(2023春·四川自贡·高一统考期末)Everything Everywhere All At Once star Michelle Yeoh recently made history by becoming the first Asian woman to win “Best Actress” at the Academy Awards. She won the award for her role as Evelyn Quan Wang, a middle-aged laundry owner and Chinese-American immigrant who discovers multiple versions of herself in parallel universes. In Evelyn’s attempts to save the multiverse(多元宇宙) from destruction, the film takes a mind-bending trip through different types, mixing absurdist humour with heartfelt explorations of human connection.
However, before Yeoh landed the role, she was not a big name in Hollywood. In fact, many critics have incorrectly described her performance in Everything Everywhere All At Once as her breakthrough, despite she beginning her acting career in the 1980s. Although Yeoh did find mainstream success upon starring in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, her role in EEAAO has truly given the actor the fame she finally deserves.
Before Yeoh made it to Hollywood, she appeared in many Hong Kong action movies, performing most of the stunts (特技) by herself, even though she had never been formally trained to do so. Her first role came in 1984 with The Owl vs Bombo. However, her leading role in 1985’s Yes, Madam saw Yeoh become a star of Chinese cinema. It was the 21st-highest-income film of the year in Hong Kong, and Yeoh’s performance, particularly the fight scenes, was praised.
However, Yeoh has actively spoken out against Hollywood’s lack of accessibility for women of colour, also pointing out her inability to find roles as she has grown older.

(2023春·河南郑州·高一统考期末)In the countryside in Fuzhou, Fujian, there is a girl, her little brother, their grandma and a cat named Hua Juan. In the eyes of Hua Juan, the grandma treats the boy and the girl very differently — she saves milk for the boy and feeds him as if he were a baby, not paying much attention to the girl. One day, Hua Juan falls asleep and starts to have a dream. Everything begins to change.
This is the story told in the short film I’m Hua Juan, which explores a heavy topic -the traditional preference for sons over daughters. The film helped 18-year- old Zhu Manlin win the best director award at the 2021 International Teen Short Film Festival. The competition aims to encourage middle school students internationally to look at the world around them through images and pay attention to their position within it.
Zhu, a student at Fuzhou Senior High School, said she got the idea of the film from stories she heard. “Gender (性别) preference is still a common thing. Three out of the five members of our filming team have such families with older sisters and younger brothers,” said Zhu. “Many people may take it for granted, but not for a cat. I tell the story from the viewpoint of a cat to encourage the audience to take another look at reality.”
As the director and photographer, Zhu together with her teammates spent about two months writing the script (剧本), shooting the video and editing. She used several key scenes to show the grandma’s preference for the boy: more meat in his bowl, gentler words and interesting toys, while the girl is ignored and accompanied only by Hua Juan. The strong comparison can help viewers better emotionally connect with the girl and reflect on the unfavorable situation of other girls in the same situation. Zhu also set a scene in which the girl looks through the crack of a door and sees a part from the film Sister, which describes An Ran, a girl who struggles to pursue her own dream while having to raise her younger brother after their parents died in a car crash. “I want fewer girls to have to bear such burdens as An Ran and instead bravely fight for their own rights,” said Zhu.
While the theme is realistic, the visuals are artistic. In the film, real life is in black and white while dreams are colorful. Zhu also shot the film in a square format to give it an unusual feeling as well as a sense of seriousness. She wants viewers to focus on the main story, using close-up shots to resonate with the emotions of the young actors while ignoring other unimportant factors.
Zhu said her favorite director is Lee Chang-dong from South Korea, who cares about reality but also stays poetic. “I wish I could make such films one day,” she said.
5. What can be known about the film I’m Hua Juan
A. It has a theme of gender preference. B. It is adapted from a novel of the same name.
C. It took the team about half a year to make it. D. It is based on the director’s personal experience.
6. Why is the story told through a cat’s eyes
A. To make the story more attractive.
B. To explain what role pets play in our life.
C. To get people to look at things in a different way.
D. To connect the story better with a younger audience.
7. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The problems Zhu had shooting the film.
B. The way Zhu directed and made the film.
C. The inspiration Zhu got from the film Sister.
D. The similarity between Zhu’s film and the film Sister.
8. How does Zhu attract viewers to the main story
A. By focusing on social reality. B. By using close-up shots in the film.
C. By shooting the film in black and white. D. By expressing emotions in a poetic way.

人与自我 人生态度 著名影视明星莱斯利·尼尔森的星路历程 304 6min ★★★★☆
(2021·浙江高考·A)
Leslie Nielsen’s childhood was a difficult one, but he had one particular shining star in his life—his uncle, who was a well-known actor. The admiration and respect his uncle earned inspired Nielsen to make a career(职业)in acting. Even though he often felt he would be discovered to be a no-talent, he moved forward, gaining a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse and making his first television appearance a few years later in 1948. However, becoming a full-time, successful actor would still be an uphill battle for another eight years until he landed a number of film roles that finally got him noticed.
But even then, what he had wasn’t quite what he wanted. Nielsen always felt he should be doing comedy but his good looks and distinguished voice kept him busy in dramatic roles. It wasn’t until 1980—32 years into his career—that he landed the role it would seem he was made for in Airplane! That movie led him into the second half of his career where his comedic presence alone could make a movie a financial success even when movie reviewers would not rate it highly.
Did Nielsen then feel content in his career Yes and no. He was thrilled to be doing the comedy that he always felt he should do, but even during his last few years, he always had a sense of curiosity, wondering what new role or challenge might be just around the corner. He never stopped working, never retired.
Leslie Nielsen’s devotion to acting is wonderfully inspiring. He built a hugely successful career with little more than plain old hard work and determination. He showed us that even a single desire, never given up on, can make for a remarkable life.
21.Why did Nielsen want to be an actor
A.He enjoyed watching movies.
B.He was eager to earn money.
C.He wanted to be like his uncle.
D.He felt he was good at acting.
22.What do we know about Nielsen in the second half of his career
A.He directed some high quality movies.
B.He avoided taking on new challenges.
C.He focused on playing dramatic roles.
D.He became a successful comedy actor.
23.What does Nielsen’s career story tell us
A.Art is long, life is short.
B.He who laughs last laughs longest.
C.It’s never too late to learn.
D.Where there’s a will there’s a way.

人与社会 体育锻炼 电影导演让孩子们应多参加户外活动的一些方法 319 6min ★★★★☆
We live in a town with three beaches. There are two parks less than 10 minutes’ walk from home where neighbourhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen—any screen—and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Today’s children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, split between watching television and using the Internet.
In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend. A couple of years ago, film-maker David Bond realised that his children, then aged five and three, were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say “chocolate” into his three-year-old son’s ear without getting a response. He realised that something needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed himself “marketing director for Nature”. He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the Wild Network,a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
“Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference,” David Bond says. “There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will be a habit for life.” His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: “We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while.”
Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.
24.What is the problem with the author’s children
A.They often annoy the neighbours.
B.They are tired of doing their homework.
C.They have no friends to play with.
D.They stay in front of screens for too long.
25.How did David Bond advocate his idea
A.By making a documentary film.
B.By organizing outdoor activities.
C.By advertising in London media.
D.By creating a network of friends.
26.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “charts” in Paragraph 2
A.records B.predicts
C.delays D.confirms
27.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Let Children Have Fun
B.Young Children Need More Free Time
C.Market Nature to Children
D.David Bond: A Role Model for Children
