What does he or she look like? The following three students are talking about their first deskmate. My first deskmate is Albert. He is a naughty（淘气的）boy with black hair and brown eyes. He was shorter than me at that time. Our favorite subject is science. And we have the same dream—to be a scientist. My first deskmate is a girl. Her name is Nastya. She is kind, beautiful and funny. She was born in a village in Russia. The name of it is Green Mountains. Next summer, we will go to her village together. It will be a great journey（旅行）for us. Emma is my first deskmate. She is a very tall girl with long brown hair and black eyes. She is also my good friend because she is nice to me. She would like to be a math teacher when she grows up. 21. Albert’s favorite subject is _________. A. math B. art C. P.E. D. science 22. _________ was born in a village in Russia. A. Mary B. Nastya C. Emma D. Lily 23 Mary will go to _________ next summer. A. her hometown B. her primary school C. Green Mountains D. Nastya’s new home 24. Emma is Lily’s good friend because ________. A. she is kind to Lily B. she is Lily’s second deskmate C. she is beautiful D. she is a girl with a big dream 25. According to the passage, we can learn that _________. A. Albert is shorter than Jack now B. Jack wants to be a scientist C. Mary and Emma have black hair D. Lily and Nastya know each other well B When you watch your favorite movies, you might not think about science. Of course, there’s a lot of science behind movies like The Mars or Harry Potter and also cartoons like Frozen or Mulan. Cartoons use a lot of science and math to make things look as real as possible. For example, snow was used in many parts of the movie Frozen, but making the snow look real was a challenge. The snow needed to act differently in different situations, like if it was melting or blowing in the wind. Mathematicians had to create a computer program to make the snow look more natural. The mathematician Joseph faced this challenge with Frozen. He and his team used math equations(等式) to treat snow like many different pieces instead of one large thing, as movies did in the past. They worked for months to make a computer program do this. Science is important for superhero movies, too. Superheroes should have special powers that can’t be explained. But movie makers still want to make their actions as real as possible. For example, Burks, a chemistry professor, told the Daily Mail that some of the science behind The Avengers could be real. Iron Man’s coat is also possible to be real because it can be made of a light but strong material. In the movie, Tony makes new things by making atoms collide(使原子对撞), much like scientists do in real life. So next time you see a movie, don’t forget to think about the science behind it. 26. According to the article, there is much ________ behind movies. A. Internet B. project C. science D. light 27. The underlined word Mathematicians probably means ________. A. scientist of music B. scientist of math C. scientist of computer D. scientist of physics 28. ________ and his team made the snow in Frozen looked real with the knowledge of math. A Joseph B. Burks C. Iron Man D. Tony 29. Which of the following is TRUE about the movies? A. Science is also important for “superhero movies”. B. Cartoons use a lot of medicines to make things look as real as possible. C. All of the science behind The Avengers wasn’t real. D. Superheroes have special powers that can easily be explained. 30. Which one can be the best title for the article? A. Interesting movies and cartoons B. Real things in movies C. Movies or cartoons, which would be real? D. Science in movies and cartoons C 配对阅读 左栏是五个同学们的业余爱好，右栏是我校七个校本课程的介绍，请为左栏的同学选择合适的校本课程。 ____31____ John, Class 8 Grade 8: I like Lin Dan very much. I want to be a professional badminton player one day.
