Hit With Modern Audiences This summers surprise hit at movie theaters across China was the re-telling of the ancient myth of Nezha.The animated film(21)(take)in over four billion yuan at the box office and become one of the country s most successful films ever.It proved that China could produce animated films comparable to(22)produced in Hollywood and Japan.The film,directed by Yang Yu,was a massive undertaking(任务)from start to finish.He spent two years writing the script(剧本)and three more years making a film which required the efforts of 1,600 animators.But for Yang,it was a way to prove to himself that he(23)change his fate and inspire others to change their fate as well.“I used to suffer from a lot of prejudice after changing my career,”said Yang,“Since then I have thought about making an animated film to encourage young people to persist in their dreams.”(24)(convey)the message that“your fate is in your own hands,”Yang made some changes to the original myth.Nezha was born a devil(恶魔),(25)(fate)to cause mischief(恶作剧),but he decides to overcome his fate and to save the people of his hometown from being destroyed by Ao Bing,the third son of the Dragon King.(26)the ancient myth being very clear about the differences between the good and the bad guys,in Yangs film,all of the characters are treated with empathy,and even the“bad”people are also victims of their fate,(27),actually,have the potential to change and become good.Over the years,I have come across a few students labeled as“devils.”Although some misbehaved simply(28)they were not mature enough,others were trouble-making and uncooperative when they were in a bad mood.Those students need to know they were not doomed to be bad.As they grew up,they would have the power to change their circumstances.If you have seen Nezha,you know(29)a terrific,entertaining film it is.But an important lesson is also conveyed in the film(30)we should not judge ourselves or others too harshly,so as not to allow those negative judgments to control our fate.Section B Direction:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is one word more than you need.A.increasing B.defend C.partially D.depriving E.sharpened F.breaks G.endured H.granting I.issues J.activate K.roughly Flood-hit Venices shrinking population faces mounting problemsVenetians(威 尼 斯 人)are fed up with what they see as inadequate responses to the city s mounting problems:record-breaking flooding,environmental and safety threats from cruise ship traffic and the burden on services from over-tourism.They feel largely left to their own devices,with ever-fewer Venetians living in the historic part of the city to 31 its interests and keep it from becoming mainly a tourist land.The historic flooding this week-marked by three floods over 1.5 meters(nearly 5 feet)and the highest in 53 years at 1.87 meters(6 feet,1 inch)-has 32 calls to create an administration that recognizes the uniqueness of Venice,for both its concentration of treasures and its 33 vulnerability.Flood damage has been 34 estimated at hundreds of millions of Euros(dollars),but the true range will only become clear with time.The frustration goes far beyond the failure to complete and 35 78 underwater barriers that were designed to prevent just the kind of damage that Venice has 36 this week.With the system not yet completed or even 37 tested after 16 years of work and 5 billion Euros($5.5 billion)invested,many are suspicious it will even work.At the public level,proposals for better administering the city including 38 some level of autonomy(自制)to Venice,already enjoyed by some Italian regions like Trentino-Alto-Adige with its German-speaking minority,or offering tax 39 to encourage Venices repopulation.Just 53,000 people live in the historic part of the city that tourists know as Venice,down by a third from a generation ago and dropping by about 1,000 people a year.That means fewer people watching the neighborhood,monitoring for public maintenance 40 or neighbors in need.Many leave because of the increased expense or the daily difficulties in living in a city of canals,which can make even a simple errand a hard journey.III.Reading Comprehension Section A Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Ecology is a complicated thing.Given the facts that elephant damage often kills trees and bush fires often kill trees,it would be 41 to assume that a combination of the two would make things worse.Contrary to this assumption,42 ,as the recently-published research by Benjamin Wigley shows,if a tree has already been damaged,fire can 43 help to make things better.One common way in which elephants harm trees is by stripping(剥)them of their bark(树皮).Dr Wigley,who did indeed start from the obvious 44 ,set off to find out how much worse bush fires would make the effects of this bark stripping.To serve this purpose,he set up a study in the Kruger National Park.Since 1954,the Kruger has been the site of experiments in which plots of land have been burned 45 ,to understand the effects of fire on plain ecology.In these experiments,Dr Wigley looked at trees in three different zones,in one of which,the trees were burned every year;in the second,they were burned every other year,while the third zone,by contrast,was actively 46 fire.To keep things consistent,he looked at the fate of the same tree species,the marula(马鲁拉树),in all three zones.He picked marulas because they are particular 47 of elephant activity.Their fruit are delicious,and prized by elephants and people alike.But elephants also seem to enjoy eating their bark.In July 2016 he and his colleagues identified 20 marulas in every zone and used special tools to 48 from each of them a circular section of bark 5 cm in diameter.Having imposed this damage,they 49 the wounds over the course of the following two years,to see what would happen.To their 50 ,they discovered that the wounds of trees in fire zones recovered far better than those of trees that had seen no fires at all.Wounded trees in the annual burn zone re-grew 98%of their lost 51 during the two years of the study.Those living in the biennial(两年一次的)burn zone re-grew 92%of it.But those in the zone where fires were 52 re-grew only 72%.The researchers also found something else when they were measuring the trees wounds:ants.Ten of the 20 trees in the fire-prevention zone developed ant colonies in their wounds.The ants in question were a species that is known to damage trees and is supposed to 53 tissue healing.By contrast,only five trees in the biennial burn zone and three in the annual zo ne developed ants nests in their wounds.It looks,therefore,as if bush fires are treating trees wounds by killing ants that might54 colonize and damage them.Though such fires are surely harmful to healthy trees,it seems,in an example of two negatives making a positive,as if they are actually 55 to sick ones.41.A.difficult B.reasonable C.necessary D.awful 42.A.however B.therefore C.furthermore D.somehow 43.A.uniquely B.barely C.actually D.merely 44.A.phenomenon B.evidence C.imagination D.assumption 45.A.equally B.regularly C.severely D.purposely 46.A.burnt with B.protected from C.covered by D.exposed to 47.A.participants B.partners C.victims D.friends 48.A.mark B.remove C.hit D.measure 49.A.regulated B.checked C.healed D.monitored 50.A.disappointment B.surprise C.joy D.relief 51.A.vitality B.height C.bark D.strength 52.A.controlled B.prevented C.started D.boosted 53.A.disturb B.promote C.impact D.quicken 54.A.therefore B.nevertheless C.then D.otherwise 55.A.beneficial B.unbelievable C.effective D.cruel Section B Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)There was something in the elderly womans behavior that caught my eye.Although slow and unsure of step,the woman moved with deliberation,and there was no hesitation in her gestures.She was as good as anyone else,her movements suggested.And she had a job to do.The elderly woman had walked into the store along with a younger woman who I guessed was her daughter.The daughter was displaying a serious case of impatience,rolling her eyes,huffing and sighing,checking her watch every few seconds.If she had possessed a belt,her mother would have been fastened to it as a means of dragging her along to keep step with the rush of other shoppers.The older woman detached from the younger one and began to glance over the DVDs on the nearest shelf.After the slightest hesitation,I walked over and asked if I could help her find something.The woman smiled up at me and showed me a title scrawled(潦草地写)on a crumpled piece of paper.The title was unusual and a bit unfamiliar.Clearly a person looking for it knew a little about movies,about quality.Rather than rushing off to locate the DVD for the woman,I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it.Looking back,I think I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment.Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother,whod passed away the previous Christmas.As we walked along the back of the store,I narrated its floor plan:old television shows,action movies,cartoons,science fiction.The woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation.We found the movie,and I complimented her on her choice.She smiled and told me it was one shed enjoyed when she was her sons age and that she hoped he would enjoy it as much as she had.Maybe,she said with a hint of eagerness,he could enjoy it with his own young children.Then,reluctantly,I had to return the elderly woman to her keeper,who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store.I accompanied the older woman to the queue at the cash register and then stepped back and lingered near the younger woman.When the older womans turn in line came,she paid in cash,counting out the dollars and coins with the same sureness shed displayed earlier.56.What does she had a job to do(Para.1)mean according to the context?A.She had a regular job in the store.B.She wanted to ask for help.C.She wanted to buy a DVD.D.She was thinking of what to buy.57.What does the title of the DVD reveal according to the shop assistant?A.The elderly woman had some knowledge about movies.B.The elderly woman liked movies for young children.C.The elderly woman preferred movies her son liked.D.The elderly woman liked both old and new movies.58.While looking for the DVD with the old woman,the shop assistant was _.A.hesitant B.casual C.cautious D.considerate59.What is the main purpose of this passage?A.To describe what a movie nut is like B.To remind readers to spending more time accompanying family C.To stress the importance of company and understanding.D.To explore the key aspects of current parental-child relationship (B)As unpleasant emotions go,anxiety is the roughest.Its a vague,pit-of-the-stomach fear that sneaks up to you-that unease you get when your boss says that she needs to talk to you right away,when the phone rings at 4:00 a.m.,or when you
