Moutai Thanks the Hit Movie

The movie, which premiered (首映) on July 27,2017, tells the story of a former Chinese People's Liberation Army soldier protecting Chinese citizens and local factory workers in an African war zone.
The patriotic (爱国的) emotions have proven popular with audiences. By the end of September, Wolf Warrior Ⅱ had earned more than 5.6 billion yuan, breaking China's all-time box office record, set last year by Hong Kong comedy The Mermaid. Wu Jing, 43, both starred in and directed Wolf Warrior Ⅱ, whose prequel (前传) earned 525 million yuan in 2015.
On August 7, Yuan Renguo, president of Kweichow Moutai, congratulated Wu Jing on his success in an open letter on the company's website. “The movie has hit a new record and become a phenomenon,” Yuan wrote. “The movie is now synonymous (相同的) with patriotism. Your free advertising of Moutai in the movie has once more allowed this famous Chinese brand to impress the world.”
Yuan also added that the company had organized screenings of the film for its more than 30,000 employees, which improved their feelings of nationalism and “company cohesion (凝聚力)”.
Many moviegoers also said they were impressed by the patriotic plot of Wolf Warrior Ⅱ.

(2018·长春质检)When the telephone rings late at night, most women guess it must be one of only four or five people calling.A sister? Maybe.An emergency? Possibly.A mother? Probably not at that time of night.Much more probably it is a close female friend calling to tell you that she is heartbroken because she has split_up with her boyfriend again or perhaps simply that a good movie has just started on TV.
At a time when families are spread far and wide and marriages often end in divorce, friendships are becoming more and more important.Erika, a 32-year-old lawyer, is strengthened by her ten-year friendship with her married friend Jane.“I was very sick one night, so I called Jane at about 3:00 a.m.to talk about it,” she says.“She was very supportive and even came over to take me to the doctor's.”
As American TV shows like Friends have become more popular, many of us are beginning to see the value of such friendships.TV shows like this tell us that our romantic relationships may not last, but we need to keep in touch with our close friends if we want to survive.
With Erika's family 200 miles away, it is Jane who keeps a spare set of keys to Erika's apartment and waters her plants whenever she is away.“Having Jane around gives me a certain amount of freedom.It is not the kind of thing that you could ask anyone to do, but she knows I would do the same for her.” Jane, who may move to a different city soon, is worried about leaving such a support system of friends.“My friends have more to do with my life than my parents and, therefore, I don't have to spend a lot of time explaining things to them.Friends are more up to date with what is happening.”

About three decades ago, China was known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”.But the two-wheeled transport's popularity began to fade, with many bikes soon replaced by their fuel-powered competitors.
But recent months have seen a renaissance of the bike across China, with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing.The introduction of bike-sharing schemes, first developed by new companies like Ofo and Mobike, has brought the trend to a new level.According to data from iResearch Consulting Group, the first week of this year saw 5.85 million active users of Mobike while Ofo had 1.4 million active users.
People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones.The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public places for the next user.They're popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective answer to the “last mile” problem, which refers to a person's final journey.“In places where the subway doesn't reach and where it's difficult to change from one kind of transport to another, it's so easy to get where you want to go with Mobike,” Hu Hong, 29, said.She rides a bike to work.
However, the schemes have also led to problems such as illegal parking, vandalism (故意破坏) and theft.“Bike-sharing is a greener method of transportation and provides a user-friendly experience,” said Liu Xiaoming, Vice-Minister of Transport.“But it's a combination of online and offline business.Operators are usually strong in online services, but lack offline business experience.”
In fact, these problems are also shared by bike-sharing schemes abroad.Set up in 2007, Vélib is a large-scale public bike sharing system in Paris.By October, 2009, a large number of Vélib's initial bikes had to be replaced due to vandalism or theft.Bikes were found hanging from lampposts (街灯柱) or thrown into the Seine River.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。共享单车在中国兴起,这种创新的交通方式让人们的出行变得更便利的同时也存在着诸多问题。
12.What can we learn about Ofo and Mobike from the text?
A.Their bikes are aimed at people who can't afford a car.
B.They are pioneers in the field of bike sharing in China.
C.There are 7.25 million people using their bikes this year.
D.No other bike-sharing system in the world can match theirs.
解析:选B 细节理解题。由第二段的“The introduction of bike-sharing schemes, first developed by new companies like Ofo and Mobike”可知,Ofo和Mobike是最早把单车共享方案引入中国的公司,也就是说,它们是中国单车共享领域内的开辟者。
13.Why are shared bikes convenient according to Hu Hong?
A.They can be shared by a lot of different people.
B.They allow people to use various forms of transport.
C.They are a useful addition to other means of transport.
D.They are accessible as long as people have smartphones.
解析:选C 推理判断题。由第三段Hu Hong的话可知,在地铁到不了的地方和难以更换交通方式的地方,共享单车可以轻易地带你去任何你想去的地方;由此可以推知,她认为共享单车方便是因为它们是对其他交通方式有用的补充。
14.What do we know about the existing problems with bike sharing?
A.They are actually universal phenomena.
B.They are brought by bike-sharing users.
C.They are mainly caused by the operators.
D.They are the results of illegal companies.
解析:选A 细节理解题。由最后两段尤其是最后一段的“these problems are also shared by bike-sharing schemes abroad”可知,单车共享存在的问题是一种国内外都普遍的现象。
15.What could be the best title for the text?
A.What problems does bike sharing face in China?
B.Bike sharing: a new battle begins in China
C.Why is bike sharing popular in China?
D.Bike sharing is booming in China
解析:选D 标题归纳题。阅读全文可知,本文主要介绍了共享单车在中国兴起的情况,并说明了它的好处与随之而来的问题。

1.both 固定搭配both ... and ...意为“两者都”,符合语境,故用both。
2.beneficial 此处应用形容词作系动词is的表语。
3.Armed arm和句子谓语之间没有连词,故该处用非谓语动词,且和句子主语students之间构成逻辑上的被动关系,故用过去分词。
4.what 空格处引导宾语从句,在从句中作宾语,代指物的概念,故用what。
5.improvement 根据语境中的定冠词the和介词of可知,此处用名词形式。

语篇解读:两匹马一起在田里,从远处看它们是一样的。但是,一匹马是失明的,它靠着同伴的铃铛声音为自己引路,以避免走错路。同样,在生活中虽然我们也许有某种残缺,但是生活不会抛弃我们。我们应该像马那样不轻言弃,互相帮助。
1.are 本文的主体时态是一般现在时,由语境可知,此处应用一般现在时。在there be句型中,主语是be动词后的名词,因为本句的主语是two horses,故填are。

3.to live 此处表示马的主人为它建造一个安全舒适的马厩让它住下。本空考查动词不定式作后置定语修饰barn。

5.in in the wrong direction“朝着错误的方向”。
6.the 本空表示特指,故填定冠词the。
7.making 动词make与句子的主语he之间为逻辑上的主动关系,且与stop表示的动作同时发生,故此处用现在分词短语making sure ...作状语,表示伴随状况。
8.disabled 本空在be动词之后,应填形容词作表语,由语境可知此处应填disabled“残疾的”。
9.challenges challenge是可数名词,意为“挑战,艰巨任务”。由空前的problems和并列连词or可知,此处应用名词复数形式。

Several years ago, I lived in New York and worked for an airline while my family was in Alabama, so I never got back home for Christmas.But one Christmas was different.I had the whole day off, and I spent Christmas Eve with my superior, Mr.Green, and his family.When Christmas morning came, I awoke to a small hand rubbing my face.“Hi,” a little boy whispered.I got downstairs just in time to see the little boys' faces as they looked at the pocket Santa Claus (圣诞老人) had left them.At first, their fingers went almost shyly over their toys, which showed their deep belief in the amazing power of Santa Claus.When their inspection had been completed, the two boys dragged everything into the centre of the living room.
Delight flooded the room.As their mother began giving out gifts, I wondered what gift I would receive.The children were happily opening packages, but I had received not a single one.At that moment, the younger boy passed me a box, saying, “Jack, it is a gift from Santa Claus for me.But he won't mind my giving it to you, right?” I smiled, knowing the gift was the one I put in the stocking.I thanked him and gave him a big hug.
Suddenly, the hostess said, “We haven't forgotten you.Look on the tree.” There was an envelope on the tree, addressed to me.I opened it and found a note that read, “You have one year off from your job to do whatever you please, Merry Christmas.” They assured me that it was not some sort of joke.They'd had a good year and thought it was high time they did something for me.
Outside, snow was falling, a usual event for a New York Christmas.I knew I would have a full chance for a new life, not given me by an act of generosity, but by an act of love.

6.What did the author think of the younger boy?
A.Unsociable. B.Considerate.
C.Immature. D.Energetic.
解析:选B 推理判断题。由第二段稍小男孩的言行和作者的回应方式可推知,作者认为这个小男孩很暖心。

C.A new job in an airline. D.A chance to show love.

Jack Ma:Asia's richest man just
became $2.8bn richer in one day
Jack Ma's net worth increased by $2.8bn overnight as Alibaba forecast sales growth that topped every analyst's estimate on June 8,2017, despite the fact that China's economy is slowing down.
Mr Ma, aged 52 this year, is now the richest person in Asia and the 14th wealthiest in the world, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. His net worth has climbed $8.5bn this year to $41.8bn.
The latest surge came after China's largest e-commerce company forecast 45 to 49 per cent revenue (收入) growth in the year ending March, demonstrating how investments in online shopping are paying off. Shares in Alibaba, where Mr Ma is chairman, rose 13 per cent to a record high.
Alibaba and Tencent, which dominate online shopping and social media respectively, have ventured (冒险) deeper into new areas from cloud computing services to streaming music and video as the country's economy slows. Alibaba is capturing more digital advertising spending by incorporating (吸收) social elements such as video in its shopping sites.
Alibaba is holding meetings with investors this week. On Friday, the former English teacher said he wasn't going to discuss corporate forecasts. He took the stage instead to describe how his company had become effectively the world's 22nd largest economy — just after Argentina — in terms of transactions (交易) by never fearing to think big. Mr Ma, who said Alibaba revised 10-year plans annually, foresaw the company becoming the fifth-largest eventually by 2036 by serving burgeoning (迅速发展) Chinese middle classes, taking advantage of global trade and making use of its valuable data.
Ma's comments about the evolution of data-driven technology echoed those of Masayoshi Son, chairman of Japan's SoftBank. SoftBank — Alibaba's largest shareholder — has invested billions in companies such as ARM with the intention of staking out a leading position in the future Internet of Things.
“The Internet of Things is going to be big because in the past, machines ‘drank’ electricity,” Mr Ma told investors. “In the next 20 years, machines will ‘drink’ data. In the future, no company, no country, no business can survive without data.”
语篇解读:本文介绍了阿里巴巴集团股票股价上涨13%,使董事长马云净身家在一天之内增加28亿美元,成为亚洲首富的故事。
8.The text is intended to tell us that ________.
A.China's economy is not satisfying
B.Jack Ma has become Asia's richest man
C.online shopping grows rapidly worldwide
D.Alibaba is the largest company in the world
解析:选B 主旨大意题。通览全文可知,本文介绍了阿里巴巴集团股票股价上涨13%,使董事长马云净身家在一天之内增加28亿美元,成为亚洲首富的故事。故选B项。
9.The underlined word “surge” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A.sudden increase B.rapid decline
C.dead time D.uncertainty
解析:选A 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“Jack Ma's net worth increased by $2.8bn overnight”和第三段中的“China's largest e-commerce company forecast 45 to 49 per cent revenue (收入) growth in the year ending March”可以推测画线词意为“急剧上升”。
10.What do we know about Alibaba?
A.It is China's largest social media company.
B.It makes profits mainly from digital advertising.
C.It is providing cloud computing services.
D.It is new to streaming music and video.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第四段的第一句“Alibaba and Tencent, which dominate online shopping and social media respectively, have ventured (冒险) deeper into new areas from cloud computing services to streaming music and video ...”可知,由于国家经济下滑,阿里巴巴已进军云计算服务领域。
11.What does Jack Ma stress in the last paragraph?
A.The investment of global trade.
B.The importance of data.
C.The necessity of sharing information.
D.The future of the Internet of Things.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后一句“In the future, no company, no country, no business can survive without data.”可知,在将来,任何公司的发展和存在都离不开数据,因此他强调了“data”的重要性。
D
Dearest darling girl,
Today is the beginning of the next stage in your life. We head off to your new home at Stanford. Where do I start in telling you how proud I feel to be called Mummy by you? We've laughed at how you burst into this world with a scowl on your face, how determined you have always been right from feeding yourself to making big decisions for your life. There were days during your illness that I wasn't sure you had the will to make it. Telling you that you needed to want to get better was the hardest and yet the greatest day. From that day you took responsibility and decided you wanted to beat anorexia (厌食症).
I don't think I've ever felt so proud of you as when you came home to say that you wanted to go to West Africa between school and university. You chose to go alone, and to raise the money yourself. You have such strength of character and determination. It is at times hard to believe that you are only 18. You experienced something in that month that few dare experience in a lifetime.
So, Viv, here are my words of wisdom to you as you start your next big adventure. The world is a beautiful place but often a few things can make it seem difficult. God's temple is made of love. It's man's temple that is built of stones. Open your heart to goodness and never ever let negative people or thoughts take hold of you. As Minor Myers put it, “Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.”
It is true that with every passing day, I will grow older and weaker. A day may come when I will become forgetful. But even then, you with your bright smile, will light up my heart.
Your Alo

Born in Texas, Coleman moved to Chicago to find a job, but she became interested in the stories she heard from pilots returning from World War Ⅰ.However, her race (种族) and her gender (性别) kept her out of flight schools in the U.S., so she made her way to France where she could learn flying.When she returned to Chicago, Coleman had difficulty finding jobs, so she chose to be a stunt (特技) pilot.She was the first black female pilot in the U.S.and was an inspiration to early pilots and to African Americans and Native Americans.
Bessica Raiche
Bessica Raiche drove a car, shot guns and practiced medicine.Besides, she was an accomplished artist and musician.But on Oct.13, 1910, Raiche became the first American woman to make a flight in an aircraft by herself.Raiche's aviation career (航空职业) was short, as she moved to Southern California to focus on her career in medicine, later becoming president of the Orange County Medical Association.
Willa Brown
Willa Brown was the first African American woman to earn both a pilot's license (1938) and a commercial license (1939).As a former schoolteacher and social worker, Brown set up the Coffey School of Aeronautics at Chicago's Harlem Airport, which later became the first government-approved aviation training school for African Americans.
Peggy Whitson
At 57, Peggy Whitson was the world's oldest spacewoman.She has spent 500 days off Earth — more than any other woman, and in 2008, she became the first female commander of the International Space Station (ISS).She made her eighth space walk on March 30, 2017 and she beat the current record for women of 50 hours and 40 minutes of total spacewalking time.

Krubera Cave in the western Caucasus Mountains is the deepest known cave in the world. An international team prepared to descend into Krubera. The team members hoped to be the first cavers to reach a depth of 2,000 meters, brought five tons of equipment and other necessities with them, and established camps at key locations along the route. They worked for up to 20 hours each day.
In the third week, progress was blocked at 1,775 meters by a sump — a cave passage filled with water that gives cavers few options. There are basically three techniques available: dive through it, empty it, or go around it. Gennadiy Samokhin dove to the bottom but was disappointed. “No chance to get through,” he said. Searching for a way around the sump, Garcia Dils risked entering a waterfall of near freezing water and discovered that his dry suit had holes in it. “The water was so cold I lost the feeling in my fingers,” he said later. He, too, was unsuccessful.
Finally, two teammates found a way around the sump through a tight passage they called the Way to the Dream. The team was exhilarated. The passage led to yet another sump at 1,840 meters. After a short test dive, Samokhin emerged, smiling. There was a promising passage, he reported. But it would have to wait. After nearly four weeks, with supplies running low, the team had run out of time and would have to return to the surface.
Four weeks later, a team of nine Ukrainian cavers led by Yuri Kasjan went back to Krubera. Following the path opened by the previous team, they reached the sump at 1,840 meters relatively quickly. After much searching, a pit (坑), later named the Millennium Pit, was discovered that allowed them to pass the 2,000 meter depth. More pits and passages led them to 2,080 meters, a spot they named Game Over. But the caving game is never over. Deeper caves will probably continue to be discovered and call out to be explored.

We have slow food, slow travel, even slow journalism.The slow food movement reminds us of the value of locally produced, seasonal foods, just as slow travel brings us back to local traditions we miss as we fly off in search of peak experiences.In a 24-hour news era, slow journalism avoids the demands of the breaking story, revisiting and reflecting on old news.In almost every area of life, we are turning towards a world, where time is not a luxury (奢侈品) but a resting place and slowness is almost a necessity.
But that doesn't happen in schools.Courses are forced into short half terms.From the moment we go through school gates to the time we get out again a few short hours later, there must be activity, busyness and speed.Reflection is out.We don't give students the time they need to read and they turn to second-rate substitutes instead.Why read Plato when you can read a book about Plato? The answer is that what Plato wrote is much more interesting, dramatic and enjoyable than any of the thousands of books that have been written about him.
I once met a friend, a published poet.“How's the poetry going?” I asked.“It's been a good week,” he replied.“I wrote three lines.” Would we accept that rate of return from our students?
Slow teaching means giving students time to read and think.How often do we demand immediate answers to our questions? Silence is more often uncomfortable than golden in the classroom.Slow teaching also means resisting the temptation (诱惑) to finish every discussion and bring thinking to an end.Slow teaching encourages us to work for as long as the topic demands, Additionally, slow teaching means giving students time to explore the natural world and scientific concepts and time to go outside the curriculum and further explore it.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。在其他行业,人们似乎已经接受了慢节奏的生活方式,但在教育领域,慢节奏的教学仍遥不可及。
8.What is suggested in the first paragraph?
A.People find it a luxury to enjoy time.
B.Being slow is becoming a movement.
C.Slowness is a recognized culture now.
D.It is difficult for people to slow down.
解析:选C 推理判断题。结合第一段提到的慢饮食、慢旅行和慢新闻以及它们带来的好处可推知,慢节奏的活动已成为人们认可的一种文化。
9.What can we know about students' present situation?
A.They live in a fast-paced world.
B.They are more silent than active.
C.They mainly focus on reflecting.
D.They lack good reading materials.
解析:选A 细节理解题。由第二段的“there must be activity, busyness and speed.Reflection is out. We don't give students the time they need to read”,第三段的最后一句和最后一段可知,学校课程紧张,学生学习忙碌,甚至没有足够的时间思考、阅读、探索,即学生们处于一个快节奏的世界。
10.How can students benefit from slow teaching?
A.They needn't have a long teaching period.
B.They can bring an end to every discussion.
C.They have enough time to think and learn.
D.They needn't answer every question in class.
解析:选C 细节理解题。由最后一段的第一句和最后一句可知,通过慢教学,学生可以有足够的时间进行阅读、思考、探索和学习等。
11.What may be the best title for the text?
A.Should school curriculums be changed?
B.It's time for a slow teaching revolution
C.The way we read should be changed
D.Is a speed-driven world out of date?
解析:选B 标题归纳题。本文主要表达了作者的一种主张,即slow teaching:减慢教学速度,给学生充分阅读、思考和探索的时间。

Stephen Hawking Warns Humans
Must Leave Earth Soon
Professor Stephen Hawking recently came out with a serious warning for people. While at the Starmus Festival, a festival in Trondheim, Norway, celebrating science and the arts, Hawking warned people that the human race is in serious danger.
Hawking criticized President Donald Trump for denying climate change. Then the physicist warned the audience, “I am not denying the importance of fighting climate change and global warming, unlike Donald Trump, who may just have taken the most serious and wrong decision on climate change this world has seen.”
Hawking proposed that the leading countries should send astronauts to the Moon before 2020 to restart a movement of more exploration in space. The BBC reported that Hawking suggested that we “build a lunar base in 30 years' time and send people to Mars by 2025”.
According to the BBC, Professor Hawking said, “Spreading out into space will completely change the future of humanity.” He continued, “I hope it would unite competitive nations in a single goal to face the common challenge for us all.” The physicist shared more ideas to motivate the younger generation to continue exploring space. Hawking stated, “A new and ambitious space program would excite (young people), and stimulate interest in other areas, such as astrophysics (天体物理学) and cosmology (宇宙学).”
Hawking also revealed his vision of other forms of energy that could move us to a new planet. He warned the audience, “The Earth is under threat from so many areas that it is difficult for me to be positive.” He continued, “Our natural resources are being drained at an alarming rate. We have given our planet the disastrous gifts of climate change, rising temperatures, reduction of the polar ice caps, deforestation (滥伐森林), and decimation (大批杀死) of animal species. We can be an ignorant and unthinking (考虑不周的) lot.”
The professor warned the audience that doing nothing would lead nowhere. He said, “If we succeed we will send a probe (航天探测器) to Alpha Centauri within the lifetime of some of you alive today. It is clear that we are entering a new space age. We are standing at the threshold (开端) of a new era. Human colonization and moving to other planets is no longer science fiction, and it can be science fact.” Hawking advised the audience to move to other worlds because we are running out of space.
语篇解读:文章引用了世界知名物理学及天文学家霍金的观点,阐明了人类必须离开地球在太空中找一处新家的原因。
12.According to Hawking, what is the first step for humans to spread out into space?
A.To send people to Mars.
B.To build a lunar base.
C.To send astronauts to the Moon.
D.To change the future of humanity.
解析:选C 细节理解题。由文章第三段的第一句可知,人类要向太空扩展应在2020年之前把宇航员送到月球以重启太空探索,故选C项。
13.The underlined word “drained” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “________”.
A.speeded up B.stored
C.used up D.explored
解析:选C 词义猜测题。由该词前面的“natural resources”和后面的“at an alarming rate”可以推断出,drain在这里是“用完,耗尽”的意思,故选C项。
14.What is Hawking's attitude towards the Earth's future?
A.Pessimistic. B.Confused.
C.Positive. D.Indifferent.
解析:选A 观点态度题。由文章中反复出现的“warned”以及第五段的内容可以推断出,霍金对地球的未来持悲观的态度,这也是他提出人类要离开地球的原因,故选A项。
15.The reason why humans must leave the Earth soon is that ________.
A.the Earth is under threat and the human race is in serious danger
B.humans have found other forms of energy to move to a new planet
C.a new and ambitious space program would excite young people
D.astronauts have found a better world in space than the Earth
解析:选A 细节理解题。由第一段的第二句和第五段的第二句可知,人类必须离开地球的原因是:人类处于危险之中,地球受到威胁,故选A项。
