Released (上映) on 11 May in Australia, 12 May in the US & 26 May in the UK The Little Mermaid This one is really fantastic, because a black actress, Halle Bailey, is playing the main character, who was white in the 1989 cartoon. The film’s director, Rob Marshall (Chicago, Mary Poppins Returns), said that she and Prince Eric, played by Jonah Hauer-King, “really teach the world about prejudice(偏 见) and about breaking down walls between these two worlds.” On general release from 24May Fast X When “The Fast and the Furious” (《速度与激情》)appeared in 2001, it seemed unlikely that the movie would be the opening chapter of one of the greatest success stories of modern movies.

Box office numbers certainly won’t lie. The Eight Mountains All of the mountains in The Eight Mountains are unpolluted and beautiful. Some of them are in the Himalayas, but most are in the Italian Alps, where Pietro (Luca Marinlli, a city boy from Turin, becomes fiends with Bruno Alessandro Borghi, the only child left in a village.

B On a flight from Dallas, Texas, to Cincinnati, Ohio, to visit a friend in 2013, event planner Paige Chenault daydreamed about the grand birthday parties she’d throw for her daughter one day. (Paige was five months pregnant at the time.) Then, flipping through a magazine, she saw a photo of an impoverished Haitian boy, skinny. “I thought, this kid has nothing,” Paige says. The image stayed with her, and she resolved to do something to help. “I decided I would use my talents to throw birthday parties for homeless kids,” Paige says. For the next four years, Paige and her husband, Colin, took time out from parenthood to visit shelters to determine how best to pull off the parties. Finally, in January 2017, Paige launched the Birthday Party Project, a nonprofit organization, and recruited friends and family to help decorate Dallas’s 75- occupant Family Gateway Shelter with balloons and streamers, celebrating the birthdays of 11 boys and girls, with 60 more homeless kids in attendance. “That first party was better than I could have ever imagined,” says Paige. Now Paige and her staff of three paid employees work with regional volunteers to plan monthly themed parties at 15 shelters across the country, some of which house abused or abandoned kids. Each child celebrating a birthday that month gets a $30 gift, a decorative place mat, and an individual cake or cupcake. One of Paige’s favorite parts of each party is when the kids make a wish and blow out the candles. “They rarely get a chance to dream big,” says Paige. Her daughter, Lizzie, now seven, often helps out at the parties. Paige says, “The one thing I’ve always wanted is for my kid to be generous.” 56. What was it that made Paige want to help the homeless children? A. A flight from Dallas to Ohio. B. Her daughter’s birthday. C. The photo of a Haitian boy. D. Her talent for throwing parties. 57.What does the underlined word “impoverished” mean? A. adorable B. poor C. talented D. frustrated 58. What can be learnt from the passage? A. A total of 75 full-time workers are employed by Paige at present. B. After unsuccessful attempts, Paige finally threw a wonderful party for the homeless kids. C. Kids can spend $30 to celebrate their birthday. D. Paige devotes herself to the cause of helping the homeless kids. 59. What kind of person do you think Paige is? A. Kind and perseverant. B. Ambitious and honest. 高二英语试卷 第 6 页 （共 8 页） C. Caring and sensitive. D. Responsible and disciplined. 60. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Bring Sunshine to the Homeless B. AWarm story Between Paige and her daughter C. Paige and Her Birthday Party Project D. How to Light Up the Life of the Abandoned Kids C A friend of mine, in response to a conversation we were having about the injustices of life, asked me the question, “Who said life was going to be fair, or that it was even meant to be fair?” Her question was a good one. It reminded me of something I was taught as a youngster: life isn’t fair. It’s a disappointment, but it’s absolutely true. One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others, thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it will be. It’s not and it won’t be. One of the nice things about surrendering (屈从) to the fact that life isn’t fair is that it keeps us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we have. We know it’s not “life’s job” to make everything perfect, it’s our own challenge. Surrendering to this fact also keeps us from feeling sorry for others because we are reminded that everyone is dealt differently; everyone has unique strengths and problems in the process of growing up, facing the reality and making decisions; and everyone has those times that they feel unfairly treated. The fact that life isn’t fair doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do everything in our power to improve our own lives or the world as a whole. To the contrary, it suggests that we should. When we don’t recognize or admit that life isn’t fair, we tend to feel pity for others and for ourselves. Pity, of course, is a self-defeating emotion that does nothing for anyone, except to make everyone feel worse than they already do. When we do recognize that life isn’t fair, however, we feel enthusiastic for others and for ourselves. And enthusiasm is a heartfelt emotion that conveys loving-kindness to everyone it touches. The next time you find yourself thinking about the injustices of the world, try reminding yourself of this very basic fact. You may be surprised that it can make you out of self-pity and into helpful action. 61．The author thought of his friend’s question as a good one because ________. A．he also wanted to know who held such an opinion B．it made him recall something during his childhood C．like his friend, he also thought life was unfair D．he learned something from the question as a youngster 62．Surrendering to the fact that life isn’t fair will ________. A．keep us from making everything perfect B．keep us from doing everything in our power C．make us face unfair treatment bravely D．make us know it’s our duty to perfect things 63．The second paragraph of the passage mainly tells us that ________. A．it’s nice to accept the injustice of life B．it’s nice to surrender to the life C．we should not surrender to the life D．we should not feel sorry for everything 64．In the last paragraph, “this very basic fact” refers to the fact that ________. A．you should not pity for others B．life isn’t and won’t be fair C．compassion is heartfelt emotion D．pity is a self-defeating emotion 65．According to the author, when recognizing life injustice, you may ________. A．take measures to solve life problemB．feel pity for other people C．do nothing to improve our life D．receive enthusiasm from others 高二英语试卷 第 7 页 （共 8 页） 第 II卷 非选择题(共 35分) 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分 35 分） 第一节：阅读表达(共 5小题;每题 2 分，满分 10 分) 阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。 My family had moved into a new house with big back yard. For some time, my older brother and I had been expecting a family pet. Finally, we managed to persuade our parents that the time had come for keeping one. Though my brother and I were of like minds about the goal of having a family member, what exactly it meant to each of us was entirely different. I was excited and happy when my parents brought home the dog, Snoopy. Despite the fun of playing with him，I knew it was really more my brother’s pet than mine. I really, really wanted a cat! I tried to show my joy for getting a pet while trying to hide my disappointment that he wasn’t a cat. My parents must have known how I was feeling because they suggested that I could make a wish about it. Running to my bedroom, I made a wish sincerely that I would have a cat. Not more than a minute or two passed when I heard a faint scratching sound(轻微的抓挠声 ) coming from the front door. Curious, I stood up, approaching the open front door. There, sitting calmly before me was a large, white cat. I was absolutely amazed! I went close to the white cat, and it began walking towards me. I gathered his mass into my arms and then I went into the back yard where my parents and brother were playing with Snoopy. So, Snowball joined our household that day, too. Although my parents always denied having anything to do with Snowball's arrival, I guessed they might have. However, even if they did somehow arrange for him to appear at the front door at the very moment when I was making a wish for a cat, it would not reduce the miracle of a cat doing in my life. 66.
