22、Gemini Man

Gemini Man is a big-budget Hollywood sci-fi-action movie based on an original concept, rather than on a superhero comic or an old TV series, even though this particular original concept is more 20 years old. In it a government assassin (杀手）is being hunted down by his own clone The original script was sold by Darren Lemke to a studio in 1997, and since then almost every male A-listener has been attached as a potential star. Now, at long last, Ang Lee has directed Gemini Man, and Will Smith plays both the veteran assassin and his much younger doppelganger (分身).

Jojo Rabbit

During World War Two, a 10-year-old German boy (Roman Griffin David) is desperate to be a dutiful Nazi, only to discover that his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding, a Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their house.

As well as writing and directing Jojo Rabbit, Waititi co-stars as the boy’s imaginary friend,a nitwitted Adolf Hitler.

Doctor Sleep

Mike Flanag’s new film is adapted from Stephen King, novel, Doctor Sleep, which was a sequel (续集) to The Shining. You can expect to see blood flowing out of lifts in a rapid stream, ghostly twin girls and headache-including carpet patterns.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil

Here’s another chance to see Angelina Jolie. In 2014 she starred in Maleficent, Disney's live-action remake of the Sleeping Beauty cartoon from 1959. The twist was that the eponymous wicked fairy wasn’t so wicked, after all, and that the real villain was the father of Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning). The sequel's subtitle promises that Maleficent will actually be evil this time around, her change of heart prompted by Aurora’s engagement to handsome prince (Harris Dickinson).

23、I've been watching a lot of foreign-language television lately.( I do love good television.) It seems that all of a sudden there is a lot of non-American shows to watch. One night I may watch a Danish show, another night a show from Sweden or Mexico. And luckily for me, the world of children's books is following suit.

I had never heard of Gustavo Roldan before the book Juan Hormiga arrived at my door. Juan Hormiga, translated by Robert Croll, is, in a word, funny. Juan Hormiga is the one red ant among thousands of black ants, but it's not his being red that sets him apart from the rest of the colony. While every other ant is as hard-working as you might expect, busily collecting food or digging underground passages, that's just not Juan Hormiga's strengths. "If there was one way in which Juan Hormiga was second to none, it was his way of telling stories."

All those busy black ants could have hated the lazy Juan Hormiga. They could have denied him tunnel privileges or picnic pieces, but no, the other ants "didn't seem to mind too much". Juan is such a good storyteller that whenever he starts to tell a story, which seems to be whenever he's awake, all the other ants forget about their work and come close to listen to Juan tell his grandfather's adventures far beyond the world of the anthill.

It's hard to put into words what makes children's stories from other countries different from American children's stories. Certainly, European fairy tales historically have had a much darker tone than American fairy tales, as fairy tales from other countries. Language, culture, and historical context have a lot to do with what gives stories their taste, and it's no different with the Spanish Juan Hormiga. Juan Hormiga is a jewel of a story. It has everything my kids and I want from a book: silliness, adventure, daring and a satisfying ending.

【1】What makes Juan Hormiga special?

A．His different color.

B．His way of telling stories.

C．His way of collecting food.

D．His talent for speaking foreign languages.

【2】What do the black ants think of Juan Hormiga?

A．Lazy and dull.

B．Greedy and dishonest.

C．Smart and adventurous.

D．Gifted and appealing.

【3】What do European fairy tales and the American ones differ in?

A．The background.

B．The happy ending.

C．The main tone.

D．The complicated plot.

【4】What is the purpose of the text?

A．To review a children's book.

B．To record an unforgettable experience.

C．To introduce the variety of television shows.

D．To show the close relationship between family members.

24、The debate on whether uniforms must be worn in schools causes different opinions and viewpoints from parents, school teachers, and policy-makers.

Fact: Imposing uniforms on children infringes their constitutional rights.

The United States Constitution gives every person the right to express himself freely. By imposing uniforms on children, schools take away this right from them.

Fact: Uniforms do not take care of the whole clothing needs of children.

Uniforms may be cheaper than branded or designer clothing, but they are no way cheaper than street clothing. Uniforms alone do not take care of all the clothing requirements of kids. Along with uniforms, you need to buy clothes to wear after school as well as on weekends. So this imposes an additional expense on parents. With normal clothing, parents have an option to buy from discount stores, used clothing store etc., to save a considerable sum. Uniforms are found only at select stores, with a fixed price, which can be a real pain for low-income families with several kids.

Fact: Uniforms cannot prevent the need for implementing (执行) formal dress code in schools.

Dress code implementation can never be clear. Students can always find ways to tweak (扭) the code as per their taste. Students may still find ways to stylize their school uniforms. For example, they may roll the skirt to make it shorter. It is simply impossible to prevent the students from displaying their personal taste even in uniforms.

These were some facts against school uniforms. We, as a society, and as a country, are looked upon as one of the most liberal and diverse in the world. Some of our greatest achievements and innovations have been as a result of the strong values of individuality and expressiveness, and we need to ensure that we are not decreasing these virtues.

【1】The underlined word "infringes" in Paragraph 2 probably means "________".

A．ensures

B．protects

C．violates

D．made

【2】Students can change formal dress code by ________.

A．making their skirt shorter

B．changing the color of clothes

C．writing their personal taste on clothes

D．wearing other clothes instead of uniforms

【3】According to the passage we can know ________.

A．many people are against school uniforms

B．the facts against school uniforms are too simple

C．a country should agree with our society

D．the author doesn't support uniforms very much

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A．Facts against school uniforms

B．School uniforms

C．Popular school uniforms

D．Expensive school uniforms

25、Hugely ambitious in scope, The Lord of the Rings occupies an uncomfortable position in 20th century literature. This book of J.R.R.Tolkien’s poses a challenge to modern literature and its defenders. (Tolkien on his _______: “Some who have read the book, or at any rate have reviewed it, have found it boring, ridiculous, or annoying; and I have no cause to complain, since I have similar opinions of their works, or of the kinds of writing that they evidently _________.”) Yet The Lord of the Rings has enjoyed massive and enduring popularity. It would seem that Tolkien’s work supplied something that was _________ among the formal innovations of 20th century fiction, something for which readers were hungry. But what was it, and why was it important?

It seems that the key point lies in Tolkien’s wholehearted rejection of modernity and modernism. This is what so powerfully _________ some readers, and just as powerfully drives away others. In his book J.R.R.Tolkien: Author of the Century, T.A. Shippey expands on this idea by arguing that Tolkien saw his story of Middle-earth not as fiction or invention, but as the _________ of something genuine that had become buried beneath the fairy tale and nursery rhythm.

“However fanciful Tolkien’s creation of Middle earth was,” Shippey writes, “he did not think that he was entirely _________. He was ‘reconstructing’, he was harmonizing conflicts in his source-texts, sometimes he was supplying entirely new concepts, but he was also reaching back to an imaginative world which he believed had once really _________, at least in a collective imagination.”

The book is also deeply grounded in Tolkien’s linguistic expertise （语言专长） —he _________ whole languages for his characters. Sometimes he became so absorbed in the creation of languages, in fact, that he _________ the story itself for months or years at a time, believing he could not continue until some inconsistency（不一致）in his invented world had been resolved. But Tolkien’s great intellect and knowledge is not the source of his ____________; without his storytelling gift, The Lord of the Rings would be little more than a curiosity. And this gift seems to originate straight from his ____________ to break from classical and traditional forms.

Tolkien himself often spoke of his work as something ‘found’ or ‘discovered’, something whose existence was ____________ of him. It’s wise to be careful with this sort of interpretation, but it seems ____________ that he believed his work to be something given, something revealed, which contained a kind of truth beyond measure. ____________, his details have the weight of reality, and because of this his great sweep of story feels real as well; you might say that his ____________ castles are built with a certain amount of genuine stone.
