Ⅰ.阅读理解
话题:电影推荐,值得观看
The summer vacation is drawing near. Here we have prepared a visual feast for our boys and girls. Let's feast our eyes first.
Jurassic World Dominion
It is the final film in the second trilogy of dinosaurmovies, and it's the first one which really deserves to be called “Jurassic World” rather than “Jurassic Park”. Yes, prehistoric dinosaurs are out and about in the wild this time, rather than being stuck in a theme park.
Director: Colin Trevorrow
Official Competition
Cruz and Banderas have been two of Spanish cinema's famous superstars for decades, and yet have only rarely acted on the screen together. Now, once again, that wrong has been righted by Official Competition. Cruz is an arthouse director who is adapting a NobelPrizewinning novel in the film. Banderas plays a dull Hollywood action hero who is hired to star in it.
Director:Mariano Cohn & Gaston Duprat
Brian and Charles
Not a typical sciencefiction movie, Brian and Charles is a lowbudget, lowkey British comedy starring and cowritten by David Earl, a regular in Ricky Gervais's sitcoms. “Brian and Charles is this year's sweetest film by a country mile,” says Cory. “It's like Edgar Wright's The Mighty Boosh project thrown into a cottoncandy machine, and it is also one of the most surprising films about being a parent, even when your son is a 7feettall robot who loves cabbages.”
Director:Jim Archer
Lightyear
After four Toy Story films, everyone's favourite space ranger action figure, Buzz Lightyear, gets to leave Woody and friends behind, and go off on an adventure on his own. Or so you might assume so. In fact, the latest Pixar cartoon isn't about the toy.
Director:Angus MacLane
1.Which of the following is right about Jurassic World Dominion?
A.It is the same with other ones about “Jurassic Park”.
B.Dinosaurs in the film live in the nature.
C.Dinosaurs are in danger in the film.
D.It is the last film of the series films.
2.In the film Official Competition, what does Cruz do?
A.A famous superstar. B.An action hero.

3.Which film is a cartoon?
A.Jurassic World Dominion.
B.Official Competition.

D.Lightyear.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇应用文。文章推荐了四部值得观看的电影。
1.B [细节理解题。由Jurassic World Dominion中“Yes, prehistoric dinosaurs are out and about in the wild this time, rather than being stuck in a theme park. (是的,史前恐龙这次是在野外活动,而不是被困在主题公园里。)”可知,在电影Jurassic World Dominion中,恐龙生活在大自然中,B项正确。]
2.C [细节理解题。由Official Competition中“Cruz is an arthouse director who is adapting a NobelPrizewinning novel in the film. (Cruz是一位艺术工作室的导演,他在电影中改编了一部诺贝尔奖获奖小说。)”可知,Cruz在电影Official Competition中是一位导演。]
3.D [细节理解题。由Lightyear中“In fact, the latest Pixar cartoon isn't about the toy. (事实上,皮克斯最新的动画片并不是关于玩具的。)”可知,电影Lightyear是动画片。]
Ⅱ.七选五
话题:一支画笔,画出多色
A Pen That Draws in Any Color
The Scribble is a magical pen that can scan colors and instantly reproduce the colors. Hold the Scribble's scanner up to any color, and within a second that color is stored in its memory. __1__
Who can use the Scribble?
Children will love the Scribble because it can create different colors, replacing even their biggest box of crayons (蜡笔). Besides, anyone working with color in their professional lives, such as artists, will be able to scan and reproduce colors instantly.
__2__
Green! One of the most important characteristics of the Scribble is that, since it can reproduce any color, it replaces marking pens, greatly reducing the huge amount of plastic waste.
What's inside the Scribble?
There will be two different versions of the Scribble, the Scribble K and the Scribble S. The K will be able to reproduce exact colors on paper. It includes a color sensor and a rechargeable battery. __3__The S looks exactly the same as the K, but it is intended for use on screen.
How did we create the Scribble?
We've been in the design process for two years and the Scribble has gone through various design changes to get it to where we are now. Because of its small size we have created some ideas never seen before in the color reproduction industry. __4__
__5__ Without your likes, the Scribble couldn't make it so far. Please make sure to bookmark our website and check back often to see the progress as well as the updated times for production and delivery of your Scribble.
A.What's the Scribble's best color?
B.What do we need the Scribble for?
C.It's the best birthday gift you may choose for your kids.
D.Be grateful for your concern about the Scribble.
E.There is 1 GB of internal memory that will store over 100,000 colors.
F.We created the Scribble for you and want you to be a part of the process.
G.Once stored, that color can be used to draw on paper or on a digital screen.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款可以画出任何颜色的笔——Scribble。
1.G [根据前文“The Scribble is a magical pen that can scan colors and instantly reproduce the colors. Hold the Scribble's scanner up to any color, and within a second that color is stored in its memory.(Scribble是一种神奇的笔,可以扫描颜色并立即复制颜色。将Scribble的扫描器拿到任何颜色上面,一秒钟内该颜色就会存储在其内存中。)”可知,前文介绍了Scribble这种笔扫描颜色并复制颜色的功能,并说Scribble的扫描器能在一秒钟内将颜色存储在内存中,空处应承接上文,讲述存储之后的情况,G项“一旦储存起来,这种颜色就可以用来在纸上或数字屏幕上画画。”符合题意。]
2.A [根据上下文可知,空处是本段小标题,且应用问句。根据下文“Green! One of the most important characteristics of the Scribble is that, since it can reproduce any color, it replaces marking pens, greatly reducing the huge amount of plastic waste.(环保!Scribble最重要的特点之一就是它,由于它可以复制任何颜色,它取代了标记笔,大大减少了大量的塑料垃圾。)”可知,本段主要讲述了使用Scribble有助于环保,本段首句“Green!”是对空处问题的回答,green既有“环保”的意思,也有“绿色”的意思,这里一语双关,由此可知,A项“Scribble最好的颜色是什么?”符合题意。]
3.E [根据前文“It includes a color sensor and a rechargeable battery.(它包括一个颜色传感器和一个可充电电池。)”可知,前文讲述了Scribble K的内部构成,所以空处应承接上文,补充说明,E项“有1 GB的内部内存,可存储超过100 000种颜色。”符合题意。]
4.F [根据该段标题“How did we create the Scribble?(我们是如何创造Scribble的?)”可知,本段介绍的是Scribble的创造过程。前文“Because of its small size we have created some ideas never seen before in the color reproduction industry.(由于体积小,我们创造了一些以前在色彩复制行业中从未见过的想法。)”讲述了在色彩复制行业创造了前所未有的想法,空处应承接上文,讲述其他有关the Scribble的创造,F项“我们为你创造了Scrible,并希望你成为该过程的一部分。”符合题意。]
5.D [根据下文“Without your likes, the Scribble couldn't make it so far.(如果没有你的点赞,Scribble就无法走到这一步。)”可知,下文对使用者的点赞表示感激,由此可知,空处应对关注Scribble的人表示感谢,D项“感谢你对Scribble的关注。”符合题意。]
