The 3 Best Marvel Films-ranked
It seems that ranking films well is always a tough task. In the hearts of millions of fans, everyone has his own choice. Superhero films are even more so. Recently, The Guardian has chosen three of the most popular Marvel films.
No. 3 Blade Ⅱ(2002)
This film continues the story of an earlier 1998’s Blade and is directed by Guillermo. The story once again concerns the mysterious day walker, played by Wesley Snipes. It is an action film full of high technology and the fighting scenes Guillermo expresses are horribly exciting. Not a typical superhero film, in many ways, but a great one.
No. 2 Black Panther(2018)
This superb film is an entertaining adventure, with a richer component(成分) of fantasy than the other Marvel films. The character of Black Panther is recognized as one of Marvel’s greatest heroes. It is a big hit across the board. It also employs Rachel Morrison who is MCU’S first woman cinematographer, a photographer who operates a movie camera. Marvel Studios’ president, Kevin Feige, has promised to get more women writers and directors on board. So far, the only Marvel female writer is Nicole Perlman for Guardians of the Galaxy.
No. 1 Thor：Ragnarok(2017)
It is smart, visually exciting and perhaps above all, funny. And it’s funny in a way that only Marvel films can be. It suggests that to some degree comedy can be an important part of the drama. Taika Waititi was an inspired choice as director. Hemsworth plays the role of Thor and Cate Blanchett plays Hela, the goddess of death who also happens to be Thor’s half sister.
语篇解读　这是一篇应用文, 文章以影评的形式介绍了《卫报》评选的三部评分最高的漫威电影。

21．Which film is the most popular one according to The Guardian?

C．Guardians of the Galaxy.
D．Thor: Ragnarok.
22．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Ranking superhero films is easy.
B．Blade Ⅱ is a typical superhero film.
C．Nicole Perlman is the only Marvel female writer so far.
D．Taika Waititi, Hemsworth and Cate Blanchett act in one film.
23．What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To introduce some superhero films.
B．To advertise for some films.
C．To comment on the Marvel’s history.
D．To advise people to learn from heroes.
B
On a farm in England, Gavin and Alice Munro are taking sustainability to the next level：they harvest trees which they grow into chairs.
The couple have a furniture(家具) farm in Derbyshire where they are growing 250 chairs,100 lamps and 50 tables. It is their answer to what they see as the inefficient(无效率) process of cutting down mature trees to create furniture.
“Instead of force-growing a tree for 50 years and then cutting it down and making it into smaller and smaller bits. . . the idea is to grow the tree into the shape that you want directly. It’s like a kind of 3D printing, ” said Gavin.
Part of the inspiration for the idea came when Gavin was a young boy. He spotted an overgrown bonsai tree(盆栽) which looked like a chair.
The 44-year-old began experimenting in 2006. In 2012, Gavin and Alice set up the company Full Grown. Within several years, the couple developed the most effective way to shape a tree without limiting its growth. They guide shoots(嫩枝) already heading in the right direction, rather than force them the wrong way against their natural growth.
The average chair takes six to nine years to grow and another year to dry out. The labor and time involved in producing the organic pieces means they do not come cheap. Chairs sell for￡10,000 each, lamps for ￡900 to ￡2,300 and tables for ￡2,500 to ￡12,500.
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文, 讲述了英格兰德比郡的一对夫妇经营着一个家具农场, 它可以让树木直接长成家具。

24．What is special about the farm?
A．It uses 3D printing.
B．It grows bonsai trees.
C．It was set up by a couple.
D．It grows trees into furniture.
25．How do the couple shape a tree?
A．By limiting its growth.
B．By following its natural growth.
C．By forcing it against its natural growth.
D．By guiding its shoots in the right direction.
26．How long does it take to make an average chair for the company?
A．Over 50 years.
B．About 6 to 9 years.
C．At most 6 years.
D．About 7 to 10 years.
27．Which can best describe the furniture?
A．Big and eco-friendly.
B．Natural but expensive.
C．Handmade and creative.
D．Traditional but organic.

Local officials in Beijing promised to further protect the city’s cultural heritage(遗产), in particular the narrow streets known as hutongs.
Hutongs are commonly found in the cities of North China, but they are at risk. Beijing is currently believed to have fewer than 1,000 hutongs, most of which are near the Imperial Palaces. Only 60 years ago, the number was 3,250. In the old districts of Dongcheng and Xicheng, which cover 62 square kilometres, some people will be asked to move from hutong houses to avoid further damage to the ancient architecture.
“On average more than 100,000 people visit the Imperial Palaces during the National Day holidays. The visitors put pressure on the protection of cultural relics, ” said Huang Yan, director of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning, adding that hutongs should be protected from human damage.
The government focused on how the protection plans were carried out and how the management of cultural heritages worked. Wang Shaofeng, head of the Xicheng district government, said the area has 182 cultural relics, many of which were built as far back as the Yuan Dynasty (1271－1368)．The district of Xicheng has 1. 28 million residents in its 57 square kilometres of land. “The most efficient way is to decrease the local population to reduce the possibility of causing harm to the heritage, ” Wang said.
“Each community has been required to report the status of its cultural heritage, especially hutongs, and any actions to damage the heritage will be punished, ” Wang said.
No one knows for sure how many hutongs will be left in the coming 100 years.

28．How many hutongs have disappeared in the past sixty years in Beijing?
A．Less than 1,000. B．About 2,000.
C．More than 3,000. D．Over 4,000.
29．According to Huang Yan, what is the main cause of the damage to cultural relics?
A．Visitors’ activity.
B．Residents’ attitude.
C．Communities’ behaviour.
D．The government’s policy.
30．Which of the following is a useful way to protect hutongs?
A．To attract more visitors.
B．To punish anyone damaging them.
C．To increase the local population.
D．To forbid everyone getting close to them.
31．What will happen to hutongs in the near future?
A．Only time will tell.
B．No one will remember them.
C．The number will be growing.
D．Hutongs will disappear completely.
D
You can remember the face, but can’t put a name to it. Many of us have been caught in this embarrassing situation. But researchers say it is often easier to remember someone’s name than what they look like.
Twenty-four volunteers were shown 40 pictures of strangers, paired with random(随机的) names. They were given time to memorize the faces and names before being tested on which they thought they had seen before.
The participants could remember up to 85 percent of the names but only 73 percent of the faces. When they were shown a different picture of the same person, the participants could recall only 64 percent of faces, according to the study led by the University of York.
That may be because faces are only recognized visually(视觉地), while names can be both spoken and written down to appear in our visual and audio memory. When people were shown famous people, they also remembered their names more accurately than their photographs. Co-author Dr Rob Jenkins, from the university’s psychology department, said, “Our study suggests that, while many people may be bad at remembering names, they are likely to be even worse at remembering faces. This will surprise many people as it is against our initial understanding. Our life experiences with names and faces have misled us about how our minds work. ” Remembering names gets harder with age, leading to many uncomfortable moments for middle-aged people when they run into people they know.
But to study whether names are harder to recall than faces, the researchers, whose findings are published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, used a “fair test” where the participants were presented with strangers’ names and faces.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。目前的研究表明名字比面孔更容易记住, 这可能让很多人大吃一惊, 因为这和人们平时的想法相左。短文介绍了这一研究过程, 并指出随着年龄的增长, 记住名字变得越来越困难。名字是否比面孔更难记忆需要进一步证实。

32．What can we know according to the research in Paragraph 3?
A．It is certain that names are harder to recall than faces.
B．Remembering names is easier than remembering faces.
C．Most participants can remember the face not the name to it.
D．The participants can recall 73% faces of the same person.
33．Which of the following will the author agree with?
A．Age will weaken the ability to remember names.
B．Unlike faces, names are only recognized visually.
C．Faces can appear in our visual and audio memory.
D．Rob Jenkins has proved people can remember faces better.
34．What does the underlined word “initial” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Clear. B．First.
C．Unusual. D．Creative.
35．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．People can’t remember strangers’ names and faces.
B．Recalling names is more difficult than remembering faces.
C．The researcher uses the same method to study another problem.
D．Whether names are harder to recall than faces is further proved.

Have you ever had a childhood hero？I mean a real person that changes the way you think, and influences you to be better at something? 36
Roger is a famous tennis player, in case you have been living under a rock these past fifteen years. He is considered the best tennis player in the history of the sport. And he is still strong. At the ripe old age of 37, he could have easily retired from the sport and lived a comfortable life he wanted. 37 For a tennis player, there is no other person worthier of respect and admiration.
You might not agree with me when I say tennis is one of the hardest sports in the world. But hear me out. Physically speaking, there are plenty of sports that are equally as challenging as tennis. Many also require mental strength. 38 In a singles tennis match, you are alone. For the whole match, which can last for hours, you have to decide what to do without any outside help.
39 Michael Jordan had teammates and coaches to support him during a game. Usain Bolt was also alone, but his matches were finished within a minute. So, to be a great singles tennis player, you must be independent, confident about yourself, and calm under pressure—qualities that are very valuable anywhere you go.
40 Next time if got a chance to see Roger Federer defend his title live, I will be there cheering him on. What about you?
A．Let’s put it this way.
B．Nothing beats going to a live tennis game.
C．Have you ever dreamed of becoming a hero?
D．Sports do good to physical and mental development.
E．But he has been pushing himself past his own limits.
F．However, few require a combination of the two in a match.
G．Roger Federer was my hero, is my hero, and will be my hero.

第二节　概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文, 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
While many of us go to sleep before midnight, some teenagers choose to stay up much later. They are not driven by the burning desire to write a better essay or achieve a higher grade. Instead, they are busy playing online games. Known as young Internet addicts(有瘾的人), they have long been a problem in China. A report released(发行) in 2016 by the China Youth Association for Network Development showed that there were over 24 million young Internet addicts among China’s young urban Internet users. The report also said that over 18 million youths had a tendency to develop Internet addiction.
To deal with the problem of Internet addiction among teenagers, the Cyberspace Administration of China has released draft regulations which carried out a ban on online gaming. If the regulations are adopted under-18s would be banned from playing online games between midnight and 8 am.
As soon as the government’s draft law surfaced, it drew great attention from the public. Some support the law as a way to better protect teenagers, saying that too much overnight gaming is harmful to teenagers’ health and believing the period between midnight and 8 am to be important to human physical functions. However, others wondered whether it would be practical if it came into effect, as teenagers could just borrow their parents’ IDs to register(注册) accounts to play online games. The Guangming Daily suggested that parents should help their teenagers find a balance between the cyber world and the real world.
China is by no means the only one trying to fight against teenager gaming addiction. Germany introduced a regulation in 2002 in an attempt to stop teens from playing online games from 10 pm to 6 am. Meanwhile, the UK, the US and Australia have forced a rating system on computer games to make sure that teenagers cannot access “adult” content such as violence, sex or bad language.

The 3 Best Marvel Films-ranked
It seems that ranking films well is always a tough task. In the hearts of millions of fans, everyone has his own choice. Superhero films are even more so. Recently, The Guardian has chosen three of the most popular Marvel films.
No. 3 Blade Ⅱ(2002)
This film continues the story of an earlier 1998’s Blade and is directed by Guillermo. The story once again concerns the mysterious day walker, played by Wesley Snipes. It is an action film full of high technology and the fighting scenes Guillermo expresses are horribly exciting. Not a typical superhero film, in many ways, but a great one.
No. 2 Black Panther(2018)
This superb film is an entertaining adventure, with a richer component(成分) of fantasy than the other Marvel films. The character of Black Panther is recognized as one of Marvel’s greatest heroes. It is a big hit across the board. It also employs Rachel Morrison who is MCU’S first woman cinematographer, a photographer who operates a movie camera. Marvel Studios’ president, Kevin Feige, has promised to get more women writers and directors on board. So far, the only Marvel female writer is Nicole Perlman for Guardians of the Galaxy.
No. 1 Thor：Ragnarok(2017)
It is smart, visually exciting and perhaps above all, funny. And it’s funny in a way that only Marvel films can be. It suggests that to some degree comedy can be an important part of the drama. Taika Waititi was an inspired choice as director. Hemsworth plays the role of Thor and Cate Blanchett plays Hela, the goddess of death who also happens to be Thor’s half sister.

On a farm in England, Gavin and Alice Munro are taking sustainability to the next level：they harvest trees which they grow into chairs.
The couple have a furniture(家具) farm in Derbyshire where they are growing 250 chairs,100 lamps and 50 tables. It is their answer to what they see as the inefficient(无效率) process of cutting down mature trees to create furniture.
“Instead of force-growing a tree for 50 years and then cutting it down and making it into smaller and smaller bits. . . the idea is to grow the tree into the shape that you want directly. It’s like a kind of 3D printing, ” said Gavin.
Part of the inspiration for the idea came when Gavin was a young boy. He spotted an overgrown bonsai tree(盆栽) which looked like a chair.
The 44-year-old began experimenting in 2006. In 2012, Gavin and Alice set up the company Full Grown. Within several years, the couple developed the most effective way to shape a tree without limiting its growth. They guide shoots(嫩枝) already heading in the right direction, rather than force them the wrong way against their natural growth.
The average chair takes six to nine years to grow and another year to dry out. The labor and time involved in producing the organic pieces means they do not come cheap. Chairs sell for￡10,000 each, lamps for ￡900 to ￡2,300 and tables for ￡2,500 to ￡12,500.

Local officials in Beijing promised to further protect the city’s cultural heritage(遗产), in particular the narrow streets known as hutongs.
Hutongs are commonly found in the cities of North China, but they are at risk. Beijing is currently believed to have fewer than 1,000 hutongs, most of which are near the Imperial Palaces. Only 60 years ago, the number was 3,250. In the old districts of Dongcheng and Xicheng, which cover 62 square kilometres, some people will be asked to move from hutong houses to avoid further damage to the ancient architecture.
“On average more than 100,000 people visit the Imperial Palaces during the National Day holidays. The visitors put pressure on the protection of cultural relics, ” said Huang Yan, director of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning, adding that hutongs should be protected from human damage.
The government focused on how the protection plans were carried out and how the management of cultural heritages worked. Wang Shaofeng, head of the Xicheng district government, said the area has 182 cultural relics, many of which were built as far back as the Yuan Dynasty (1271－1368)．The district of Xicheng has 1. 28 million residents in its 57 square kilometres of land. “The most efficient way is to decrease the local population to reduce the possibility of causing harm to the heritage, ” Wang said.
“Each community has been required to report the status of its cultural heritage, especially hutongs, and any actions to damage the heritage will be punished, ” Wang said.
No one knows for sure how many hutongs will be left in the coming 100 years.

28．How many hutongs have disappeared in the past sixty years in Beijing?
A．Less than 1,000. B．About 2,000.
C．More than 3,000. D．Over 4,000.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据第二段第二、三句可知选B项。
29．According to Huang Yan, what is the main cause of the damage to cultural relics?
A．Visitors’ activity.
B．Residents’ attitude.
C．Communities’ behaviour.
D．The government’s policy.
答案　A
解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The visitors put pressure on the protection of cultural relics. . . hutongs should be protected from human damage. ”可知选A项。

30．Which of the following is a useful way to protect hutongs?
A．To attract more visitors.
B．To punish anyone damaging them.
C．To increase the local population.
D．To forbid everyone getting close to them.
答案　B
解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“any actions to damage the heritage will be punished”可知选B项。
31．What will happen to hutongs in the near future?
A．Only time will tell.
B．No one will remember them.
C．The number will be growing.
D．Hutongs will disappear completely.
答案　A
解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知, 没有人知道100年后会有多少胡同留下。
D
You can remember the face, but can’t put a name to it. Many of us have been caught in this embarrassing situation. But researchers say it is often easier to remember someone’s name than what they look like.
Twenty-four volunteers were shown 40 pictures of strangers, paired with random(随机的) names. They were given time to memorize the faces and names before being tested on which they thought they had seen before.
The participants could remember up to 85 percent of the names but only 73 percent of the faces. When they were shown a different picture of the same person, the participants could recall only 64 percent of faces, according to the study led by the University of York.
That may be because faces are only recognized visually(视觉地), while names can be both spoken and written down to appear in our visual and audio memory. When people were shown famous people, they also remembered their names more accurately than their photographs. Co-author Dr Rob Jenkins, from the university’s psychology department, said, “Our study suggests that, while many people may be bad at remembering names, they are likely to be even worse at remembering faces. This will surprise many people as it is against our initial understanding. Our life experiences with names and faces have misled us about how our minds work. ” Remembering names gets harder with age, leading to many uncomfortable moments for middle-aged people when they run into people they know.
But to study whether names are harder to recall than faces, the researchers, whose findings are published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, used a “fair test” where the participants were presented with strangers’ names and faces.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。目前的研究表明名字比面孔更容易记住, 这可能让很多人大吃一惊, 因为这和人们平时的想法相左。短文介绍了这一研究过程, 并指出随着年龄的增长, 记住名字变得越来越困难。名字是否比面孔更难记忆需要进一步证实。

32．What can we know according to the research in Paragraph 3?
A．It is certain that names are harder to recall than faces.
B．Remembering names is easier than remembering faces.
C．Most participants can remember the face not the name to it.
D．The participants can recall 73% faces of the same person.
答案　B
解析　细节理解题。根据第三段的“The participants could remember up to 85 percent of the names but only 73 percent of the faces. ”(参与者能记住多达85%的名字, 但能记住的面孔只有73%。)可知, 记住名字比记住面孔更容易。故选B项。
33．Which of the following will the author agree with?
A．Age will weaken the ability to remember names.
B．Unlike faces, names are only recognized visually.
C．Faces can appear in our visual and audio memory.
D．Rob Jenkins has proved people can remember faces better.
答案　A
解析　推理判断题。根据第四段末句(记住名字会随着年龄增长而变得更困难, 这会导致很多中年人在遇到熟人时会有尴尬的时刻。)可推测, 作者认为记名字的能力会随着年龄增加而下降。故选A项。
34．What does the underlined word “initial” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Clear. B．First.
C．Unusual. D．Creative.
答案　B
解析　词义猜测题。根据第四段的“Our study suggests that, while many people. . . is against our initial understanding(我们的研究表明, 尽管有些人不擅长记住名字, 但他们很有可能更不擅长记住面孔。这可能会使很多人吃惊, 因为这和我们initial理解是相反的)”可知, 这个结果和他们之前的理解相左。由此推测画线词的意思是“最初的, 起初的, 之前的”。故选B项。
35．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．People can’t remember strangers’ names and faces.
B．Recalling names is more difficult than remembering faces.
C．The researcher uses the same method to study another problem.
D．Whether names are harder to recall than faces is further proved.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“但为了研究名字是否比面孔更难记忆, 研究人员使用了一种‘公平测试’, 在测试中研究人员给参与者展示了一些陌生的名字和面孔, 并将结果发表在了《实验心理学季刊》杂志上。”可推测, 名字是否比面孔更难记忆得到了进一步的证实。故选D项。

Roger is a famous tennis player, in case you have been living under a rock these past fifteen years. He is considered the best tennis player in the history of the sport. And he is still strong. At the ripe old age of 37, he could have easily retired from the sport and lived a comfortable life he wanted. 37 For a tennis player, there is no other person worthier of respect and admiration.
You might not agree with me when I say tennis is one of the hardest sports in the world. But hear me out. Physically speaking, there are plenty of sports that are equally as challenging as tennis. Many also require mental strength. 38 In a singles tennis match, you are alone. For the whole match, which can last for hours, you have to decide what to do without any outside help.
39 Michael Jordan had teammates and coaches to support him during a game. Usain Bolt was also alone, but his matches were finished within a minute. So, to be a great singles tennis player, you must be independent, confident about yourself, and calm under pressure—qualities that are very valuable anywhere you go.

B．Nothing beats going to a live tennis game.
C．Have you ever dreamed of becoming a hero?

38．答案　F
解析　空前说从身体上讲, 有很多运动和网球一样具有挑战性, 许多(运动)还需要精神力量, 此处承接上文, 讲的是关于比赛中需要身体力量和精神力量的情况, 而且空后的举例也说明网球单打比赛既需要身体力量也需要精神力量, 故F项(然而, 很少的运动在比赛中需要两者的结合)符合语境。
39．答案　A
解析　空后说乔丹在比赛中有队友和教练的支持, 博尔特也独自一人, 但他的比赛在一分钟内就结束了, 所以, 要想成为一名优秀的网球单打运动员, 你必须独立, 对自己有信心, 在压力下保持冷静, 空后拿乔丹和博尔特与费德勒作对比以突出费德勒的伟大, 此处需要一句引语, 引出下文的内容, 故A项(这么说吧)符合语境。
40．答案　B
解析　空后说下次如果有机会看到费德勒现场卫冕, 我会在那里为他加油, 因此此处会提到去现场看费德勒的比赛, 故B项(没有什么比去看一场现场网球赛更好的了)符合语境。

第二节　概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文, 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
While many of us go to sleep before midnight, some teenagers choose to stay up much later. They are not driven by the burning desire to write a better essay or achieve a higher grade. Instead, they are busy playing online games. Known as young Internet addicts(有瘾的人), they have long been a problem in China. A report released(发行) in 2016 by the China Youth Association for Network Development showed that there were over 24 million young Internet addicts among China’s young urban Internet users. The report also said that over 18 million youths had a tendency to develop Internet addiction.
To deal with the problem of Internet addiction among teenagers, the Cyberspace Administration of China has released draft regulations which carried out a ban on online gaming. If the regulations are adopted under-18s would be banned from playing online games between midnight and 8 am.
As soon as the government’s draft law surfaced, it drew great attention from the public. Some support the law as a way to better protect teenagers, saying that too much overnight gaming is harmful to teenagers’ health and believing the period between midnight and 8 am to be important to human physical functions. However, others wondered whether it would be practical if it came into effect, as teenagers could just borrow their parents’ IDs to register(注册) accounts to play online games. The Guangming Daily suggested that parents should help their teenagers find a balance between the cyber world and the real world.
China is by no means the only one trying to fight against teenager gaming addiction. Germany introduced a regulation in 2002 in an attempt to stop teens from playing online games from 10 pm to 6 am.
