purpose to make new friends.Directed by Neil Jordan,the actors are attractive.Grace Moretz is the waitress and Isabelle Huppert is the one who admires her.Thanks to them,Greta winds up being far more enjoyable than it has any right to be.The Aftermath The Aftermath is one of the few World War-related films.Based on Rhidian Brooks novel,this touching romantic movie is starred by Keira Knightley,who is the wife of a British officer.She hates the Germans because her son was killed in an air raid.But is there a chance that a tall,dark andhandsome man might persuade her to overcome her hate?Captain

set in the 1990s.The Oscar-winning Brie Larson stars as Carol Danvers,a US Air Force fighter pilot,while Samuel L Jackson,as usual,plays Nick Fury.Dumbo Dumbo is a classic Disney cartoon,who has big

7-year-old kid to watch?A.The Aftermath B.Captain Marvel C.Grete D.Dumbo 3.Where can you most probably read the text?A.Readers Digest B.Nature C.Scientific American D.National Geographic B After years of releasing e-readers that compete directly with Amazons Kindle,Rakuten Kobos latest device offers something totally different:theability to draw and write directly on the screen.With a large 10.3-inch E-ink display,the Kobo Elipsa looks more like an electronic clipboard than the standard paperpack-sized e-reader.Although the ability to write on the screen is no big deal especially given its high price tag of$600 the overall package is impressively functional.In terms of reading,the Elipsa packs just about everything youd expect in a Kobo.You can purchase and download books from the store,read web articles youve saved online via Pocket,and connect to your local library to borrow e-books and magazines.Its known that Kindle basically requires you to buy books from Amazon.Unlike Kindles,Kobos are pretty open with the formats they support;you can connect the Elipsa to a computer and transfer over any PDF books you have bought or downloaded from stores like Booktopia or Google Books.You can fill your virtual notepads with notes using brush and pen types,and export them as PDFs or images to a PC.Theres also an“advanced”notebook that can turn your writing into typed and editable text for exporting to Microsoft Word format.You can also write directly onto documents themselves,with all your word circling and underlining saved as you go to review later.This is especially handy when it comes to PDFs,as changes you make are synced（同步）automatically when you have Wi-Fi,so you can move between your Elipsa,PC and phone and keep your notes.With all that said,we can see it really appealing to e-reader fans who also tend to do a lot of work on paper.If you ever print things out to mark them up,fill notepads with writing or drawing that you later have to transcribe or scan,or just wish you could write all over your library books,this could be the device for you.4.Which of the following best describes the Elipsa?A.Automatic.B.Traditional.C.Useful.D.Standard.5.How is a Kobo different from a Kindle in reading?A.A Kindle has a larger screen.B.A Kindle can support more formats.C.A Kobo supports books from

the field of education have provided Nancy Marra with many treasured moments.One of the most endearing happened when she was teaching second grade.That year,she decided to plan something special for the children:a Mothers Day tea.After all the preparations were made for it,each child took home an invitation.Nancywas surprised and relieved to see that every mother was planning to attend.She even invited her own mother.Finally,the day arrived.That afternoon,each child lined up at the classroom door expecting the arrival of his or her mom.As it got closer to starting time,Nancylooked around and her eyes quickly found Jimmy.His mother hadnt shown up and he was looking upset.Nancytook her mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy.“Jimmy,”Nancysaid,“I have a bit of a problem here and I was wondering if you could help out.Since Im going to be really busy today,I was wondering if you could keep my mother company.”Nancys mom and Jimmy sat at a table with two other mother-child pairs.Jimmy servedNancys mom her treats,presented her with the giftNancyhad made,and pulled out and pushed in her chair,just as they had practiced the day before.WheneverNancylooked over,her mom and Jimmy were in deep conversation Ten years later,Nancywas at a high school to take a senior class on a field trip,and there was Jimmy.On the way back,Nancyhad the students complete an evaluation form of their trip.She collected and checked the forms one by one.When she came to Jimmys evaluation page,he had written,“Remember our Mothers Day tea we had in second grade,Mrs.Marra?I do!Thanks for all you did for me,and thank your mother,too.”As they began unloading at the school,Jimmy made sure he was the last one to go.Nancytold him she really enjoyed what he had written.He looked rather embarrassed,mumbled(咕哝)his own thanks,and then turned to walk away.As the bus driverbegan pulling the bus away,Jimmy ran back and knocked on the bus door.He jumped back on board and gaveNancya big hug.“Thanks again,Mrs.Marra.No one even knew my mom didnt make it that day!”She ended her workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had probably stopped hugging teachers years ago.8.Why was Jimmy

restoring and conserving the precious artworks.However,despite numerous efforts,scientists had been unable to determine the source of folium,a popular blue dye used to color1 manuscripts(手稿)in Europe during the middle ages from the 5th to the 15th century.Now,a team of researchers fromPortugalhas finally uncovered the mysterious ingredient responsible for the gorgeous blueish-purple color1 that helped bring ancient illustrations and texts to life.The research team began byporing overinstructions penned by European dye makers from the 12th,14th,and 15th centuries.They found what they were seeking in a 15th-century text entitledThe Book on How to Make All the Color Paints for Illuminating Books.However,translating the instructions was no easy task.It was written in the now extinct Judaeo-Portuguese language,and though the source of the dye was traced back to a plant,no name was mentioned.However,by piecing together suggestions from the text,the scientists were able to determine that the dye was made from the bluish-green berries of the chrozophora tinctoria plant.After an extensive search,the team found a few varieties of the plant growing along the roadside near the town ofMonsarazin southPortugal.The detailed instructions gave the researchers critical clues including the best time to pick the berries.“You need to squeeze the fruits,being careful not to break the seeds,and then to put them on linen(亚麻).”The scientist says the detail was important since broken seeds polluted the pigment,producing an inferior quality ink.The dyed linen,which was left to dry,was an efficient way to store and transport the pigment during ancient times.When needed,the artist would simply cut off a piece of the cloth and dip it with water to squeeze out the blue color1.Once the key ingredient had been identified,the researchers began to determine the dyes molecular structure.To their surprise,they found that folium was not like any other known permanent blue dyes it was an entirely new class of color1,one they named chrozophoridin.“Chrozophoridin was used in ancient times to make a beautiful blue dye for painting.”the team wrote in the study.“Thus,we believe that this will not be our final word on this amazing plant and its story and that further discoveries will follow soon.”12.The primary purpose of the study is to _.A.restore and conserve ancient precious artworks B.determine the substance making up the folium C.prove the ancient dye-making technique was organic D.identify which class of color1 folium belongs to 13.The underlined phrase“poring over”in the second paragraph means _.A.discussing publicly B.testing repeatedly C.passing directly D.reading carefully 14.What can be learned about the blue dye folium?A.It was essentially an inferior type of ink.B.It was the only kind made from wild berries.C.It could be carried and used easily.D.It was carefully squeezed from broken seeds.15.The article is mainly about _.A.how the mystery ofa thousand-year-old blue dye was solved B.why the researchers took the trouble to recreate the dye C.what needs to be done to make an organic dye from a plant D.when and where the discovery of the dye was made 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 6 ways our post-pandemic(疫情后)world will be different The future has never been easy to forecast,and the coronavirus makes
