限时规范练(十)　UNIT 4　Stage and screen (限时30分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2025·贵州贵阳模拟)From Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga to Wicked: Part One, 2024 is shaping up to be a thrilling year of films. Here're some you have to see at the cinema. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (May 24, 2024) It's hard to believe it's been almost a decade since the superb Mad Max: Fury Road(2015), but George Miller is finally returning with the sequel(续集) this year, and it looks promising. While Charlize Theron played the so­called Furiosa in Fury Road, this time Anya Taylor­Joy will be the actor to tell her origin story as she is taken and trapped between two warring cruel rulers and tries to find her way back home. Inside Out 2 (June 14, 2024) Returning with a sequel to 2015's surprisingly emotional Inside Out, Pixar picks back up the story of Riley and the emotions who control her inside her brain. Now a teenager, Joy(Amy Poehler) and the other core emotions are joined by new addition Anxiety(Maya Hawke) and some other, unconfirmed emotions as well, judging from Anxiety saying “we wanted to make such a good first impression” in the advertisement. Wolves (September 20, 2024) This highly anticipated movie sees Hollywood royalty Brad Pitt and George Clooney reunite for their first film together since 2008's Burn After Reading. After showing their on­screen chemistry in the Ocean's Eleven permission, the Jon Watts(Spider­Man: No Way Home) directed film follows two lone wolf fixers assigned to the same job. Wicked: Part One (November 22, 2024) This one has been a long time coming! Originally announced all the way back in 2012, the first act of the film adaptation of the multi­award winning musical Wicked is nearly here. It is a prequel(前传) to the beloved The Wizard of Oz, telling the story of Elphaba(the Wicked Witch of the West, played by Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda(the Good Witch, played by Ariana Grande) in the years before the tornado transported Dorothy and Toto to the magical land of Oz. 1．What do Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and Inside Out 2 have in common?

Eight years ago，Horam，a retired civil servant，was on his way back from a trip with his family.Gavin stopped at a music shop.He walked out and said：“Here you are.I bought this for you，Dad.It's a harmonica.I'll try to show you how to play a bit.” They went to a session at their local pub.Gavin played the guitar and Horam sat in the corner with his harmonica，trying to make a sound that no one would hear.After six months，he was invited into the group.He discovered a talent for improvisation(即兴表演)，responding to a note within a millisecond without batting an eyelid.“I don't play by ear.I play by heart.” Actually，Horam says：“My harmonica plays me—how I feel，what I am，what I've been.” Music has enriched life with friendship and made Horam feel “part of something much bigger” than himself.“At a time when the circle of life might be shrinking，mine is expanding，” he says.“Maybe we never know completely who we are or what we can do.” 4．Why did Horam play the harmonica on the streets of Bradford? A．To recall the good old days. B．To beg food from passers­by. C．To live his childhood dream. D．To collect money for charity. 5．What is Gavin's attitude to his father's musical ability? A．Positive.
