Welcome to our guide of the Best Movies of 2024, featuring every Certified Fresh movie as they come in week by week!
Joker: Folie à Deux (Oct. 4)
The first Joker stunned Hollywood by becoming a $1 billion hit despite being R- rated and having a modest budget for a comic book movie. The sequel(续作) comes at a challenging time for the comic book genre, but can Joker 2 have the last laugh Joaquin Phoenix reprises his Oscar-winning role as Arthur Fleck, with Lady Gaga joining as co-lead in this musical in filmmaker Todd Phillips’feature.

Mufasa: The Lion King(Dec. 20)
After Jon Favreau’s The Lion King remake made more than $1 billion at the box office in 2019, Disney was keen to return to the world with a prequel(前传) focusing on Mufasa.

“Growing fruit trees is a very simple way to stay in love with our world,” says Vivian Keh, playwright and daughter of immigrants, holding a basket of persimmons(柿子) she’s cultivated to feel connected to her Korean ancestors. Keh is just one of the 50 remarkable subjects in naturalist writer Amy Stewart’s The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession, a collection of portraits of people transformed by their love of trees.
Initially, trees struck Stewart as an odd thing to collect. Intrigued by this community of enthusiasts, she discovered educators, preservationists and visionaries, all drawn to a kind of curation, motivated by reasons as diverse as their projects. They plant trees in public and private spaces both modest and expansive, nurturing(培育) their collections to honor beloved dead, attract wildlife, preserve rare species, connect to history, invest in the future, grow food and create beauty.
Steward categorizes these tree collectors according to their sense of purpose. Kenneth Hoegh, one of the book’s“ecologists”, tests which cold-loving species might grow in a warming and historically treeless Greenland. “Healer” Joe Hamilton plants loblolly pines on a parcel of land he got from his enslaved ancestors with an eye toward long-term sustainable forestry which he hopes will establish a source of general wealth for his family. Reagan Wytsalucy has a plan to restore traditional peach orchards on Navajo land as one of the“community builders” who seek to bring people together.
Adding to the book’s charm are Stewart’s watercolor illustrations — she gives us a look at each of her human subjects while also cataloging the most wonderful qualities of featured trees, such as Seussian eucalyptus seed pods and delicate camellia blossoms.
After spending time in this varied commonwealth, you’ll undoubtedly experience an intense desire to rest under the shade of a leafy oak. But something even deeper is happening here: by creating a space for people to talk about something they love. “How often do any of us get a chance to pour our hearts out to a stranger ” she writes.“Somehow, talking about trees made it possible.”
24. What does the underlined word“curation” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Connection. B. Collection. C. Treatment. D. Transformation.
25. What purpose of planting trees is mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To preserve rare species. B. To honor beloved dead.
C. To develop new varieties. D. To strengthen social bonds.
26. What does the quote in the last paragraph suggest about discussing trees
A. It inspires new ideas. B. It rarely happens in public.
C. It allows deep emotional sharing. D. It helps resolve environmental issues.
27. What does the writer think of the book
A. Complicated. B. Conventional. C. Inspiring. D. Intense.
C
For many, travel isn’t just about the destination —— it’s about making the most of the journey. However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting, known as motion sickness. If you’ve ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you’re not alone. Recognizing this common issue, Apple has stepped up to offer a revolutionary solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature for iPhones and iPads.
Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory conflict can lead to dizziness, nausea, and overall discomfort —— symptoms all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.
Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness. This revolutionary feature works by displaying animated dots, around the edges of your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in line with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness.
The magic lies in the simplicity and effectiveness. The animated dots move in consistency with the vehicle’s motion, providing a visual representation of the movement your body is experiencing. By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness.
Early reports and user feedback indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness. So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that Apple’s got your back —— or rather, your brain —— helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort.
28. Which type of people can be interested in Vehicle Motion Cues
A. Frequent travelers. B. Book lovers.
C. Vehicle operators. D. Sport scientists.
29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The principle of Apple’s new design.
B. The cause of motion sickness.
C. The functions of Apple’s new design.
D. The symptoms of motion sickness.
30. By displaying animated dots around the screen, Apple’s Vehicle Motion Cues is able to .
A. ease sensory conflicts in the brain
B. tell the mismatched physical sensations
C. balance the movement of our eyes and body
D. increase the effectiveness of vehicle motion
31. Which can be the best title of the passage
A. Make the Most of Your Journey: Apple Bridges the Gap
B. Find the Magic of a Moving Vehicle: Apple’s Got Your Back
C. Enjoy Your Reading: Apple Offers a Revolutionary Solution
D. Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: Apple Introduces Its New Design
D
A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I’ve been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. “My favorite food is sushi,” I said —— wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi.
I’d created the video using software from a Los Angeles-based artificial-intelligence start-up called HeyGen. The technology, which only needs a single selfie and a script to generate deepfake videos of real people“saying” almost anything, is a testament(证明) to the advancements in AI language tools. This got me thinking about the declining interest in language learning with fewer students enrolling in foreign language courses and the decrease of English proficiency among young people in some places.
AI translation, integrated into social media and messaging platforms, seems to be everywhere. Even language-learning apps are using AI-generated content in their marketing. However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience. As Anne, a Chinese translator said, “Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart.”
Language learning fosters cultural competency, a skill that AI cannot simply copy. Learning a different way to speak, read, and write helps people discover new ways to see the world. No machine can replace such a profoundly human experience. Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures. Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of AI, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. Paula Krebs of the MLA points out that even with a“universal translator”, sometimes, the greater meaning of people’s utterance(言辞) remains a mystery.
In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural tapestry(织锦) that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve.
32. Why does the author give the example in paragraph 1
A. To promote the language software.
B. To show off his Chinese language skills.
C. To prove learning a language is a wasted effort.
D. To encourage critical thinking about AI language tools.
33. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. AI translation deserves more attention.
B. Language apps play a key role in marketing.
C. Language translation is far beyond technology.
D. Learning a different language is an uphill battle.
34. What is the key benefit of learning a language according to the passage
A. Better digital literacy.
B. Improved translation skills.
C. Deeper cultural confidence.
D. Effective intercultural interaction.
35. What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A. AI language tools offer convenience.
B. AI facilitates language learning in terms of culture.
C. AI is far from perfect in helping language understanding.
D. AI has achieved success in the development of language learning tools.

How Loneliness Is Killing Us
Loneliness is absolutely an epidemic(流行病) in our society, but it’s been growing for decades. Loneliness is the sense that“I am less connected to other people than I want to be.” 36 And that makes it different from isolation(独处). I can deliberately isolate myself and feel great about that, but only you can tell if you’re lonely.
37 In some studies, as many as 60% of people will say that they feel lonely much of the time. Young adults aged 16 to 24 are the loneliest age group.
There are many factors that are responsible for that. Loneliness was on the rise from the 1950s in part because of the rise of private cars. We’ve become a much more mobile society where the networks of family and friends get loose as people move for jobs and other kinds of opportunities like education.
38 But then it tears us away from the communities we are born into and spend much of our lives creating. When television came into the American home, there was more of a decline in investing in our communities. And that was made worse as the digital revolution gave us more and more screens to look at.
Research finds loneliness is dangerous to our health. 39 In addition, people who are lonely in late life have more rapid brain decline.
The choice we can make to keep us on a good path of well-being is to invest in our relationships with other people. 40 You belong. You matter. You’re connected.
A. It’s a very subjective experience.
B. All of that is good on the one hand.
C. You may feel lost and may have low confidence.
D. Stress coming from loneliness causes physical breakdown.
E. Since the 1950s, people have been less and less invested in other people.
F. People go to faraway colleges and only get in touch with families on screen.
G. A good way is to find an activity around other people where you are comfortable.

“Nice” to Meet You, Hangzhou
Nice, France and Hangzhou, China have been developing a unique bond since their official declaration 56 sister cities in 1998, connecting the two vibrant cultures separated by 9,300 kilometers through numerous 57 (initiative) . To Rudy Salles, deputy chairman of the Nice Tourist Office, the sister-city relationship between the two is a perfect match.
Having visited Hangzhou several times, Salles describes it as“a very well- organized and 58 (welcome) city”. He recalls a Nice food festival at the Dragon Hotel Hangzhou, where traditional food, such as salade nicoise — 59 (make) from tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs and olives and dressed with olive oil, and pan bagnat, 60 sandwich made from whole wheat bread enclosing the classic salade nicoise, was served.

In 2014 the Grand Canal was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the news, the Nice government approached Hangzhou, keen to learn from its experience, as Nice was seeking a similar status. In 2021, UNESCO added the city of Nice to its World Heritage List. “Our candidacy for UNESCO 64 (support) by China, for 65 we are so grateful,” says Salles.

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。
Mary was the art teacher for primary school students. On this particular day, she was guiding them through the process of drawing a scenic landscape. Akila yawned (打哈欠), clearly disinterested — drawing wasn’t her thing. A small group of students gathered around Tina, laughing at her unusual drawing: a sun sporting sunglasses and trees topped with ice cream cones.
Mary instructed Tina firmly but with unease, “Draw it the way I showed you.” As the lesson continued, doubt crept into Mary’s mind. Had the joy of creativity been overshadowed by the pressure to fit in She scanned the room, observing her students’faces — some concentrated, others uncertain. Akila’s disinterest was clear, and Tina’s imaginative drawing had been met with ridicule instead of praise.
After class, Mary sat down with Tina, her tone softening. “Why did you draw the sun with sunglasses and the trees with ice creams ” she asked gently.
Tina’s eyes sparkled with a touch of rebellion(叛逆). “I love ice cream, and I thought the sun would look cool with sunglasses. Why do we always have to draw like everyone else ”
Mary paused, her thoughts racing. Tina’s drawings weren’t just curious —— they were a window into a world where imagination ruled, where rules could be bent into delightful chaos. Was she, by enforcing a rigid style, killing that very creativity
The next morning, Mary walked into the classroom with a renewed sense of purpose. She placed a large sheet of paper in front of the class and announced a new project: they would create a collective(集体的) artwork titled“Our Dream World” with no rules. They were free to use colors, shapes, and patterns however they wished.
At first, the students hesitated, unsure of this newfound freedom. Akila leaned back, skeptical of what seemed like another pointless exercise. But Tina, her creativity no longer restricted, eagerly grabbed her crayons and began to draw with abandon. Then, Maya joined in. And then Michael…

第一节
Dear Linda,
I’m delighted to share with you an exciting initiative we’ve launched at our school—“Greenery in Every Classroom”.
The project kicked off with each class selecting a variety of plants to cultivate. We began with a special planting session where students enthusiastically potted seeds and saplings. The subsequent weeks were filled with a shared responsibility as we watered and nurtured our tiny green friends. This hands-on experience with nature has not only brightened our classrooms but also sparked a genuine interest in botany and environmental conservation. The initiative has been met with widespread enthusiasm and even made the headlines in the local newspaper.
I’m eager to hear your thoughts on this project. Your insights would be greatly appreciated
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One Possible Version:
As the students worked, Mary observed them with curiosity. She noticed how Akila, initially disinterested, had quietly chosen vibrant colors and was now blending them together to create a swirling sky filled with fantastical creatures that flew over a stone castle. Meanwhile, Tina was enthusiastically adding playful details to her section of the paper-a whimsical garden where flowers wore hats and creatures rested on the ice cream-topped trees. Mary felt a wave of relief wash over her. The room was alive with chatter and laughter, as Akila and Tina frequently exchanged ideas and inspired one another. Akila even leaned over to admire Tina’s ice cream trees and said, “That is mind-blowing!” It was wonderful to see them cooperate, their initial differences melting away in the warmth of shared creativity.
Mary stood back and surveyed the creation. The enormous canvas had transformed into a magnificent portrayal of each student’s imagination, forming a breathtaking landscape that reflected their individuality yet spoke to their collective spirit. Mary felt a sense of pride swell within her, she realized that in letting go of rigid structures, her students gave their painting an unrealistic but dream-like quality. Akila, Tina, and the rest of the class had not only embraced their own creative paths but had also nurtured each other’s ideas. They were thrilled, “It was the best painting ever! We should definitely hang it on the wal!” Inspired by the moment Mary decided to host an exhibition of their dream world, inviting parents and other classes to admire the beauty of
imagination unleashed in her classroom.
答案具体解析
第二部分 阅读
第一节
21. 答案：B
解析：题干问 “哪部电影是翻拍作品”。根据短文 A 部分对《Twisters》的描述 “The new version of the ’90s movie Twister”（90 年代电影《龙卷风》的新版本），“new version” 明确指向翻拍属性。其他选项中，《Joker: Folie à Deux》是续作（sequel），《Inside Out 2》是动画续集（animated follow-up），《Mufasa: The Lion King》是前传（prequel），均不符合 “翻拍” 定义。故选 B。
22. 答案：A

30. 答案：A
解析：题干问 “通过屏幕边缘显示动画点，该功能能做到什么”。第三段提到 “these moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in line with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness”，即减少导致晕车的感觉冲突。A 选项 “缓解大脑中的感觉冲突” 正确。B 项 “识别不匹配的身体感觉”、C 项 “平衡眼睛和身体的运动”、D 项 “提高车辆运动的有效性” 均不符合文意。故选 A。
31. 答案：D
解析：题干问最佳标题。短文核心是苹果推出 “Vehicle Motion Cues” 功能解决晕车问题，D 选项 “告别晕车：苹果推出新设计” 准确概括主旨。A 项 “充分利用旅程”、B 项 “发现车辆的魔力” 范围过宽；C 项 “享受阅读” 仅为场景之一，未涵盖核心功能。故选 D。
32. 答案：D
解析：题干问第一段例子的目的。作者通过 AI 生成自己说流利中文的视频，引出下文 “the declining interest in language learning” 及对 AI 语言工具的反思，目的是鼓励对 AI 语言工具的批判性思考。A 项 “推广软件”、B 项 “炫耀中文能力” 与文意不符；C 项 “证明语言学习无用” 与作者观点相悖（后文强调语言学习的价值）。故选 D。
33. 答案：C
解析：题干问第三段可推断的内容。第三段提到 “language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience”，并引用翻译家的话强调语言转换的复杂性，说明翻译远超技术层面。C 选项 “语言翻译远非技术能涵盖” 正确。A 项 “AI 翻译应获更多关注”、B 项 “语言应用程序在营销中关键”、D 项 “学外语是艰巨任务” 均非段落核心。故选 C。
34. 答案：D
解析：题干问语言学习的核心益处。第四段提到 “language learning fosters cultural competency... understanding and connecting with different cultures”，即语言学习促进跨文化理解与互动。D 选项 “有效的跨文化互动” 符合文意。A 项 “数字素养”、B 项 “翻译技能”、C 项 “文化自信” 文中未强调。故选 D。
35. 答案：C
解析：题干问最后一段暗示的内容。最后一段指出 “AI language tools lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning... something AI has yet to achieve”，即 AI 在语言理解的深度和文化洞察上仍不完美。C 选项 “AI 在语言理解上远不完美” 正确。A 项是事实陈述，非暗示；B 项 “AI 促进文化层面的语言学习” 与文意相悖；D 项 “AI 在语言工具上成功” 不符合 “has yet to achieve” 的否定态度。故选 C。
第二节
36. 答案：A
解析：前文定义孤独为 “与他人的连接少于期望”，后文强调 “only you can tell if you’re lonely”，说明孤独是主观感受。A 选项 “这是一种非常主观的体验” 衔接上下文。
37. 答案：E
解析：后文提到 “60% of people will say that they feel lonely much of the time”，E 选项 “自 20 世纪 50 年代以来，人们对他人的投入越来越少” 引出孤独的普遍性数据，符合逻辑。
38. 答案：B
解析：前文讲 “汽车兴起、人们因工作 / 教育迁移”，后文转折 “但这让我们远离社区”，B 选项 “一方面，这些都是好事” 承上启下，体现转折关系。
39. 答案：D
解析：前文说 “孤独对健康有害”，后文补充 “晚年孤独加速大脑衰退”，D 选项 “孤独带来的压力导致身体崩溃” 衔接健康危害的具体表现。
40. 答案：G
解析：前文建议 “投资与他人的关系”，后文强调 “归属感、连接感”，G 选项 “好方法是参与舒适的集体活动” 提供具体做法，符合语境。
