one of the worldsmost popular cultural mediums,cinema is at the leading position at the Taihu World Cultural Forum(论坛),an annual event that aims to improve cultural exchanges.So far this year,Chinese box office has already topped 58 billion yuan,the China Film Administration said.This indicates that China,the worlds second-largest movie market,is closing the gap with the United States,the worlds top cinema market.Cao Yin,director of the program center at China Movie Channel,said that China has 67,000 cinema screens.the most of any country,and the number is expected to increase to 80,000 by the end of next year.Saying that China has signed coproduction agreements with 22 countries(including the United States,Canada,Japan.India etc.),Cao added it has deepened cinematic exchanges between Chinese filmmakers and their foreign counterparts(同行).With the countrys huge native market,which produced more than 1,000 films in 2019,Hong Kong director Stanley Tong said he believes foreign filmmakers will increasingly seek cooperation with China.“International coproduction will become an important platform to send Chinese stories oversea and give us a broader vision of creation,”Tong said.Recently,over 80 percent of the worlds top 100 highest box-office titles have been action films.Tong said the films,in which plots are basically secondary to shining stunts(特技),is one of the easiest ways to appeal to foreign audiences.But it has been a decades-long struggle for Chinese filmmakers to sell their stories overseas.When asked what kinds of Chinese films would have the most global appeal.Yan Zhaozhu,chairman of the Taihu World Cultural Forum,said stories that address universal issues,such as environmental protection and climate change,are perhaps the best options.4.What is the purpose of the Taihu World Cultural Forum?A.To strengthen cultural exchanges.B.To build more cinemas in China.C.To invite more tourists to Taihu.D.To attract more international investment.5.What can we infer about Cao Yins opinion in Paragraph 2?A.Chinese box office has already overtaken the United States so far B.The screens of Chinese cinemas will be world-leading in the

feel about selling their movies to the world right now?A.Easy.B.Disappointed.C.Challenged.D.Confused.7.What is the best title for the text?A.Box Office:Unclear Future B.China:Top Second Movie Market C.Cinema:The Leading Cultural Position D.Chinese Filmmakers:Severe Competition Situation C Imagine turning on the GPS and seeing an image of your car from above.As the car drives,the map follows along in real time,alarming you to any traffic,pedestrians,animals,or other things nearby.Routes and names of roads appear over the live stream.Its like the map has come to life.This type of map isnt available yet.But it could be soon.In 2014,the Worldview-3 satellites was launched into space.Even though it orbits Earth at more than 370 miles（600 km）away,it can capture images of objects on Earth that are just 10 inches（25cm）across.Peeringall the way from outer space,it can make out a smartphone held in your hand.It can tell what types of cars are traveling down a road.But it cant identify your face or read the cars license plate numbers.at least not openly.According to some reports,this satellite and other US spy satellites have the technology to take even sharper images,with a resolution（分辨率）of up to around 4 inches（10cm）.ButUS law forbids making these super-sharp pictures public,to prevent enemies from using them.But the idea that anybody might be able to spy on the entire Earth in such detail may seem horrible.Live,high-detail satellite mapping could possibly be used to monitor anybody at any time.Ray Purdy of University College London told CNN that he is concerned about what this could mean for privacy.Most satellites are commercially owned,so if you have money you can buy that imagery.“It means anyone can spy on anyone,”he said.At the same time,live,detailed maps of Earths surface could be useful in amazing ways.Live maps of a disaster area could quickly discover people in need of rescue as well as the safest routes in or out.Satellite images are already helping catch illegal logging and fishing operations.Higher detail may make it possible to catch other criminals in the act.The images could also make it easier for farmers to watch over their crops.What do you think?Do you wish everyone could access high-detail live maps of Earths surface?8.What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean?A.Seeing B.Standing C.Walking D.Hearing 9.Why does US law forbid making super-sharp pictures public?A.to protect the technology.B.for the sake of safety.C.to protect the environment.D.to threat other countries.10.Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A.This super-sharp map hasnt been put into market.B.Worldview-3 satellites orbits the Earth at 370 km away.C.Personal privacy is safely protected if you use the super-sharp map.D.The super-sharp map should be completely forbidden.11.How is this technology used in agriculture?A.It can help improve the production of crops.B.It can help kill pests.C.It can help farmer to watch over their crops from far away.D.It can help increase farm land.D Poaching and habitat loss have threatened Africas two species of elephants,taking them closer toward the edge of disappearance,according to a new report released by the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN).Before this update,Africas elephants were grouped together and were evaluated as vulnerable by the IUCN.This is the first time the two species have been sorted separately.In the past,elephants were mostly considered as either Asian elephants or African elephants.Forest and savanna elephants were typically classified as subspecies of African elephants.The African forest elephant is now listed as critically endangered and the African savanna elephant as endangered.The number of African forest elephants fell by more than 86%over a 31-year assessment period.The population of African savanna elephants dropped by at least 60%over the last 50 years,according to the IUCN,which tracks the assessment risk of the worlds animals.Africa currently has an estimated 415,000 elephants,counting the two species together.Both elephant species experienced significant population decreases because of poaching.Although it peaked in 2011,illegal hunting still happens and continues to threaten elephant populations.African elephants also face continued habitat loss as their land isconvertedfor agriculture or other uses.There is some good conservation news,the IUCN points out.Anti-poaching measures,combined with better land use planning to support better human-wildlife relationships,have helped conservation efforts.Some forest elephant population figures have stabilized in well-managed areas in Gabon and the Republic of Congo and savanna population figures have remained stable or have been growing,particularly in the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area in southern Africa.But with constant demand for ivory and increasing human pressures on Africas wild lands,concern for Africas elephants is high,and the need to creatively conserve and wisely manage these animals and their habitats is more severe than ever.12.What can be inferred from the new report about African elephants?A.They are divided into three kinds.B.They are dying out.C.Their threat is mainly from poaching.D.Their population has grown in Africa.13.What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 3?A.The detailed number of African elephants.B.The similarities of African elephants.C.The different types of African elephants.D.The present situation of African elephants.14.What does the underlined word converted in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Expanded.B.Protected.C.Transformed.D.Forbidden.15.Whats the authors attitude to the present situation of African elephants?A.Hopeless.B.Optimistic.C.Uncertain.D.Worried.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 When you have got a lot of stuff，decluttering(整理)your home can be really
