Lily and Amy were best friends. They were both members of the English Drama Club of their school. Recently, they had been preparing together for an English short play A Tale of Friendship organized by their drama teacher Ms Thompson.
The play, aiming to reflect the true friendship among peers, would be put on New Year's Eve. Lily, cast as the main character, was eager to bring her character's journey to life, hoping to inspire her classmates through her performance. While practicing, Lily, an enthusiastic and passionate performer, poured her heart and soul into every scene, meticulously(一丝不苟地) studying her lines and striving for emotional realness. However, Amy tended to be quiet and reserved in her role play. She got pretty calm on stage, which, in Lily's eyes, meant she was not committed enough to the performance. The differences between them resulted in several heated moments, where both of the girls found themselves at odds(意见不合), unable to see eye to eye.
Finally, Lily did not want to hold back any more. “You're just too calm for this scene, Amy,” she said, frustration evident in her voice. “The audience needs to feel the passion!”
Amy sighed, her eyes softening with a hint of sadness. “But Lily, the story isn't just about the loud moments. Personally, the role in the drama is a quiet one. The unspoken words move the audience deeply.”
Lily was frozen with anger. She turned around and left the stage without a word. Amy stood there as still as a statue, her eyebrows knitted tightly together in a deep frown.
The practice had to be stopped.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Knowing about the quarrel, Ms Thompson pulled them together.
She first encouraged the girls to express their thoughts openly. Lily insisted on her performance style, pointing out that the stage demands big expressions, while Amy argued that being real makes it more touching. Ms Thompson then said, “Girls, a great performance is like a symphony. Both of you are like different musical instruments having your own characteristics. Alone, it's good; but together, you create harmony.”
Lily and Amy looked at each other and understood.
Lily approached Amy. “I was wrong to judge you,” she admitted, her voice soft but sincere. “Your calmness is part of what makes the story beautiful.” Amy smiled, “And your passion inspires me to give my best. Let's work together, like we used to.” From that day on, they practiced with a newfound understanding, blending their strengths to create a performance that moved everyone who watched it. On New Year's Eve, their play was a resounding success, not just because of their talent, but because they reminded everyone of the true meaning of friendship.

It's the season for friends, family and cheesy holiday movies. Whether you're a fan of Christmas classics or prefer streamable and made-for-TV specials, there's always a reason why holiday movies are so popular—even the most predictable. “In fact, this is what keeps us coming back. You would almost be disappointed if they weren't a little predictable,” says Dr Pamela Rutledge, a media psychologist. “It's not like there's going to be a heart-stopping surprise waiting to catch you off guard.”
And while the plot of a city girl meeting a hometown guy is overused, Rutledge says these romantic holiday movies satisfy our inner desire for social connection and provide our brain with the confidence to anticipate something and have that be the case.
The holiday season itself can be stressful, making these movies an easy go-to for relaxation during a busy time of year. “These movies can act as ‘cinema_therapy’, when you can relax with your friends,” says Allison Eden, associate professor of communication at Michigan State University. “You don't have to work too hard to enjoy it. They're just gentle, comforting, feel-good movies that can really help, especially during times of stress.”
The most stressed you'll feel during most holiday movies A silly, low-conflict misunderstanding between love interests that you know will be resolved by the end. “The brain responds to that whole journey with not only the dopamine(多巴胺) of reward of having it turn out like you wanted to, but the oxytocin(催产素) also release when you're talking about feelings of warmth, connection and love. So sort of a win-win,” Rutledge says.
If you think you can find the same win-win in other forms of media, it may be harder than you think. People often use social media as a way to escape, for example, but it's not always the pick-me-up you may be looking for. With social media, you really never know what you're going to come up against.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了人们喜欢假日电影的原因。
( )4. What contributes most to the popularity of holiday movies
A. Predictable plots. B. Appealing themes.
C. Unexpected endings. D. Romantic elements.
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中“In fact, this is what keeps us coming back. You would almost be disappointed if they weren't a little predictable”可知,节日电影受欢迎的最大原因是其情节可预测。
A
( )5. What does the underlined phrase “cinema therapy” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. A call for easy work. B. A form of stress relief.
C. A chance to enjoy movies. D. A way to develop friendship.
【解析】词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“when you can relax with your friends”以及“They're just gentle, comforting, feel-good movies that can really help, especially during times of stress.”可知,这些电影只是温和安慰、让人感觉良好的电影,尤其是在压力大的时候,可以让你和你的朋友放松,说明它们是一种缓解压力的方式。故画线词指的是“一种缓解压力的方式”。
B
( )6. Why does Rutledge view holiday movies as sort of a win-win
A. They enhance our brain function.
B. They provide a comforting escape.
C. They offer emotional satisfaction.
D. They assist in resolving low conflicts.
【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The brain responds to that whole journey with … but the oxytocin also release …”可知,Rutledge认为节日电影是一种双赢,因为它们提供情感上的满足。
C
( )7. What is the writer's purpose in writing the text
A. To call on people to watch holiday movies.
B. To introduce the features of holiday movies.
C. To explain why your brain loves holiday movies.
D. To compare holiday movies with other forms of media.
【解析】写作意图题。通读全文,并根据第一段中“It's the season for friends, family and cheesy holiday movies … there's always a reason why holiday movies are so popular—even the most predictable.”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是解释为什么你的大脑喜欢假日电影。

Toy Story, Cars, Finding Nemo, Wall-E, Up—you have probably watched all these films. __1__ Let's go through the process of creating a cartoon film.
Creating the storyboard
The first step is to write down the main ideas of the story. __2__ Based on the storyboard, the art department creates the first draft for the characters, their clothing and emotions, and the sets.
Making characters using 3D modelling
A special computer program is used to create 3D shapes of the characters, sets and props—this is called modelling. __3__ Special equipment is used to record points on these shapes. This information is then sent to a software program which recreates the 3D shapes.
Making them move
The layout crew(摄影构图组) decide how these characters should move and then the cartoonists take over. They use 3D software to create the movements of each character, the skeleton's(骨架) movements, facial expressions and more, between key frames(帧) in the story. __4__
Dressing up for the show
The sets and props are “dressed” according to the designs laid out by the art department. The skin and hair for the characters, their costumes as well as special lighting effects such as shadows, shining reflections are also created.
Letting the show begin
__5__ The computers draw each frame one by one, with each frame slightly different from the previous one. Each frame takes 5-6 hours to create—imagine how much computing power and time it will take to create 24 frames per second of a 2-hour film!
A. Some of these creations are simple, but some are very complex.
B. All these films have cost a large amount of money.
C. Remember too, that the movements have to be smooth!
D. From that, the storyboard is drawn.
E. The decorations of the sets and props are created using software.
F. All the 3D characters, their movements, and lighting are to be done by computers.
G. Have you ever wondered how these amazing cartoon films were made
1. _______ 2. _______ 3. _______ 4. _______ 5. _______

Ⅰ. 话题拓展阅读。
Along with the progress of reform and opening-up, the Chinese film industry has also made remarkable achievements and become in a flourishing(繁荣的) state in economic growth.① It has recorded social changes in the past decades through the medium of the film. The film market of China has been much better than that of North America, becoming the largest in the world during the first season of 2019.
In the original stage of reform and opening-up, old Chinese movies were rescreened and foreign movies were dubbed(译制). Audiences' enthusiasm for movies was lighted up by both these practices. In 1979, the attendance of Chinese moviegoers reached a record high of 29.3 billion. However, televisions and other entertainment activities sprang up in the late 1980s and drew many audiences away from movies when the film market faced a danger.②
The employment of a socialist market economy in China in 1992 brought energy again to the film industry. With the introduction of free competition and reforms, it made an abundant recovery and experienced rapid growth. In the same period, China began to introduce overseas movies into the home market, especially those from Hollywood.③ Despite the argument that foreign movies occupy the space of home-made ones, Chinese movies with increasingly higher quality have gained a firm foothold in the local market with box offices setting several new records.④
The development of the Internet has added new energy to the Chinese film industry. In 2015, the powerful Internet companies, one called Tencent and another Alibaba, developed their own film aims and began to adapt popular online stories for movies. With big data, more accurate marketing skills can target specific audiences to satisfy their personal preferences. Yet the development of online cinemas may pose threats to the survival of offline ones. Now the film industry is exploring more advanced film screening technologies to provide audiences with an improved movie experience.

【译文】随着改革开放的推进,中国的电影产业也取得了令人瞩目的成就,并且在经济增长中处于蓬勃发展的状态。

③【分析】本句为简单句。In the same period是时间状语;主体部分China began to introduce overseas movies into the home market是主谓宾结构;especially those from Hollywood是插入语, 补充说明前面的overseas movies。
【译文】与此同时,中国开始将海外电影引进国内市场,尤其是好莱坞电影。
④【分析】本句为复合句。Despite the argument that foreign movies occupy the space of home-made ones整体是让步状语,其中that引导同位语从句,解释说明the argument的具体内容;主体部分中with increasingly higher quality是介词短语做后置定语修饰Chinese movies;with box offices setting several new records 是“with+宾语+宾语补足语”的复合结构,在句中做伴随状语。
【译文】尽管有争论认为外国电影占据了国产电影的位置,但质量越来越高的中国电影已经在当地市场站稳了脚跟,票房屡创新高。

__2__ The director will usually identify themes or feelings that he or she wants the movie to give to its audience and then gather all the other people who will be needed, such as costume designers, makeup artists, cameramen, and, of course, actors!
Next, shooting begins! __3__ Often a director wants to get several “takes(一次连续拍摄的电影镜头)” of a scene or moment and usually only a few minutes of the movie are finished in one day's work. __4__ So once filming is finished, the director must then work with editors to piece them all together, deciding which takes to use and adding in some special effects.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了整个电影的拍摄过程。
1. 【解析】上文提到电影制作从剧本开始,下文引出“制片人”的角色,F项“它(剧本)会被电影制片厂或制片人买下”符合语境,选项中的It指代上文的a script,并自然过渡到下文对制片人的介绍。
2. 【解析】本空位于段首,为本段主题句。根据下文“The director will usually identify themes or feelings … cameramen, and, of course, actors!”可知,这一段介绍了导演的职责和导演的各项工作,所以C项“在电影中,导演的工作是将剧本通过镜头呈现出来”符合语境。
3. 【解析】根据上文“Next, shooting begins!”和下文“Often a director wants to get … are finished in one day's work.”可知,电影的拍摄进度慢,A项“实际拍摄可能是一个缓慢的过程”符合语境。

5. 【解析】根据上文“Once it is ready, the finished movie is then sent to movie theatres.”可知,等到整个过程完毕后,电影才会在电影院上映,人们才能在电影院观看、欣赏电影,所以E项“人们可以在电影院观看并欣赏它”符合语境。

About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film studio to take part in a crowd scene. Although our “act” would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.
We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in “snow”. Two more fans were turned on, and a “strong wind” blew through the trees. The scene looked so real that it made us feel cold.
The next scene was a complete contrast(明显不同的事物). The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and an actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!
Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film “stars”!

Do you want to entertain yourself at home with some old beach movies Now I'd like to introduce some to you.
The Shallows(2016) Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra
Blake Lively plays a medical student enjoying a little beach fun after her mom's passing. She surfs some waves before a shark appears and traps her on a tiny rock in the shallows. The two play a game of brains that'll keep you anxious. In the end, the girl lives on and heads right back out to surf again.
Cast Away(2000) Directed by Robert Zemeckis
This is the film that made the beach volleyball character Wilson a household name. The volleyball becomes Chuck Noland's best friend in this film about living, loneliness, and never losing hope. The man lives for years alone on a desert island after he survives a plane crash. Tom Hanks dropped some weight to play the character.
Point Break(1991) Directed by Kathryn Bigelow
Keanu Reeves is at his best as Johnny Utah, the ex-footballer turning FBI agent on the hunt for bank robbers. Patrick Swayze is amazing as Bodhi, the robber who wants to avoid getting caught just long enough to surf the biggest wave of all time. The best scene takes place on a stormy beach.
Teen Beach Movie(2013) Directed by Jeffrey Hornaday
Two surfing lovers, Brady and McKenzie, whose relationship is nearing a close, find themselves swept into a violent(猛烈的) wave that sends them into a beach movie musical in the 60's. As a TV movie, TBM looks very Disney. Kids love it and so do the adults!

With some 50 million copies in print, Johanna Spyri's Heidi is probably the biggest Swiss bestseller of all time. So it's not a surprise that there have been many film adaptations. The latest one, directed by Alain Gsponer, is a live-action, German-language feature that's simply titled Heidi as well.
Heidi's impressive box-office numbers prove that the world was ready for yet another version of this old-fashioned tale. The feature made over $15.5 million in Germany and Switzerland alone. Even more impressive are the numbers in Italy and France(not generally areas where German-language children's films stand any chance).
Gsponer's film follows the basic structure of the novel published in 1881. 5-year-old Heidi is shipped off by her aunt, Dete, to her don't-waste-any-words grandfather, who lives alone in a small wooden house high up in the Swiss Alps. He is not pleased to see his routine in the peaceful mountain air messed up by a curious little girl who needs looking after. The film doesn't lay stress on the point, but even for those who haven't read the book, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the lovely little girl will soon manage to melt Granddad's icy heart.
At age 8, Heidi is taken away to Frankfurt, where her aunt has found her a rich family as a companion(伙伴) to a wheelchair-bound child, Klara. As in the novel, the film plays Heidi's initial fish-out-of-the-water situation for comedy, since, as a country girl, she has no idea about things as basic as clean clothes or table manners. Actually, in the midsection, the girls' strict governess(女家庭教师) gets some of the biggest laughs.
This is also a plot necessity. Heidi will need to start to feel homesick. She misses not only Grandpa but also her cute goat herder friend, Peter. She does get to see them again.
Throughout the film, Gsponer keeps contrasting(对比) different elements, including the seasons, the city and the country and even characters, such as the dark-haired and earthy Heidi and the fair-skinned and fair-haired city girl Klara. These natural contrasts help give a sense of agreement to a plot.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇电影评论。文章讲述了根据小说改编的同名电影《海蒂》的相关情况,包括该电影的票房、故事梗概和电影中不同元素的运用等。
( )4. What does the author want to show by mentioning the box-office numbers
A. Gsponer's Heidi is a big success.
B. A lot of people understand German.
C. It is a great idea to adapt a novel.
D. Heidi's story is too old to be popular.
【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段中“Heidi's impressive box-office numbers prove … the numbers in Italy and France”可知,作者想通过提及票房数字来说明Gsponer执导的电影《海蒂》大获成功。
A
( )5. Why is Heidi's grandpa unhappy about her arrival
A. Heidi needs a house. B. He is not wealthy.
C. Heidi behaves badly. D. He prefers to live alone.
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中“5-year-old Heidi is shipped off by her aunt … messed up by a curious little girl who needs looking after.”可知,海蒂的爷爷对她的到来不高兴是因为她的爷爷喜欢独自生活。
D
( )6. Which best describes Heidi's initial life in the rich family according to Paragraph 4
A. She fits in well. B. She feels out of place.
C. She feels lonely. D. She laughs at the governess.
【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段中“As in the novel, the film plays Heidi's initial … clean clothes or table manners.”可知,海蒂作为一位乡村女孩,在刚进入富裕家庭的时候,她的生活是格格不入的。
B
( )7. What is the text
A. A short story. B. An introduction to a book.
C. A film review. D. A script of a documentary.
【解析】推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章介绍了根据小说改编的同名电影《海蒂》的票房、故事梗概和电影中不同元素的运用等,可得出本文应是一篇影评。

1. 【解析】考查名词。这里为名词production担当宾语。
2. 【解析】考查冠词。修饰可数名词单数position,表泛指,且unique的发音以辅音音素开头。
3. 【解析】考查名词复数。根据空前的several可知,空处为可数名词activity的复数形式。
4. 【解析】考查非谓语动词。非谓语动词担当目的状语,organize用动词不定式形式。
5. 【解析】考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据时间状语earlier this year可知,本句时态为一般过去时;主语director Chen Liaoyu and seven young artists为复数,和动词invite之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态were invited。
6. 【解析】考查非谓语动词。被修饰词a short animated film和动词create之间为逻辑上的被动关系,用过去分词created。
7. 【解析】考查介词。名词the Monkey King和Ne Zha前用介词like,意为“像……”。
8. 【解析】考查非谓语动词。主语This project和动词place之间为主动关系,用现在分词形式。
9. 【解析】考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词The Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven,在非限制性定语从句中做主语,用关系代词which引导。
10. 【解析】考查副词。修饰整个句子,应用副词做状语;位于在句首,首字母大写。

1. 我将就电影制作中你们可能不太熟悉的一些方面做一个简单的介绍。(be familiar with)
2. 我想让你注意电影的一个重要因素——音效。(draw one's attention to)
3. 另一个我认为很重要的方面就是视觉特效。(attach great importance to)
4. 道具也促成一部电影的成功。(contribute to)
5. 就像真正的“泰坦尼克号”上那些可怜的乘客看到的冰山一角一样,我们在影院银幕上看到的也只是电影制作这座巨大冰山的一角而已。(just as; what)
6. 希望下次你们走进电影院的时候,能想一想所有幕后那些才华出众的人们。他们工作了数月甚至数年,你才能有两个小时的享受!(spare a thought for; behind the scenes)
1. I'll give you a brief introduction to some aspects of film-making you might not be familiar with. 2. To begin with, I'd like to draw your attention to an important factor of a film—sound effects. 3. Another aspect I attach great importance to is visual special effects. 4. Props also contribute to a film's success. 5. Just as the poor passengers on the real Titanic saw the tip of the iceberg, what we see on the cinema screen is just the tip of the huge iceberg of film-making. 6. Hopefully, next time you go to the cinema, you'll spare a thought for all those talented people behind the scenes. They have worked for months and even years so that you can have two hours of enjoyment!
