Loving Vincent is the first animated film in the world to be made entirely with paintings. Every scene uses oil paint on canvas (画布). Twelve paintings were needed just to show one second of the film. It took more than 100 artists seven years to complete it. The movie has gotten good reviews since it came out on the Chinese mainland on December 8th. Its box office ( 票 房 ) earnings have reached over $20 million (132. 43 million yuan) worldwide. The film tells the story of the final months of famous Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh (1853－1890). The story is told through his paintings and the characters in them. It shows his death as being part of a murder mystery, as Hollywood Reporter said. A young man named Armand Roulin serves as both detective and storyteller. A year after the death of Vincent van Gogh, Armand is instructed by his father, Postman Joseph Roulin, to personally deliver a letter to Vincent’s brother, Theo. Armand isn’t fond of Van Gogh, but to please his father he agrees to give the letter, travelling across Europe to the town where Vincent spent his final months. When he finds that Theo has died of a disease shortly after his brother, he visits several important people in Van Gogh’s life to find out the truth behind his death. He talks with Van Gogh’s friend, a doctor, and the owner of the hotel he lived in. But each person tells a different story. There are many examples of the artist’s work in the movie. It shows over 120 of his paintings, such as The Night Café, Wheatfield with Crows, and The Starry Night. It’s no wonder Empire Magazine called it “one of the most beautiful films of 2017”. The real-life letters that Van Gogh wrote to his brother are shown as well. The movie lets you see the real Vincent van Gogh in a different way. 11．Loving Vincent is ________.

They thought certain events in the sky, such as lunar eclipses (月食) happened when gods were angry. But Wang Zhenyi thought differently. She believed in facts and observation.

She moved them around to show what 12 happens during a lunar eclipse: when the Earth was passing directly between the Sun and the Moon, the sunlight could not reach the Moon and the Moon “disappeared”. Throughout her short life, Wang Zhenyi wrote many articles about her research. In her articles, she explained difficult ideas in clear and simple ways 13 people could understand science more easily. She helped make science available to more people. 14 , her spirit of exploring science still encourages young people today. 7．A．doctor B．scientist C．lawyer D．teacher 8．A．creative B．responsible C．open-minded D．economical 9．A．awarded B．expected C．followed D．encouraged 10．A．rely on B．show off C．focus on D．come across 11．A．courses B．paintings C．reviews D．experiments 12．A．actually B．suddenly C．probably D．recently 13．A．in order that B．even if C．in case D．as soon as 14．A．In conclusion B．As a result C．Above all D．After all (C) Jane Austen’s 250th Birthday: Not Just Romance, But Us All Over two centuries after her passing, Jane Austen’s novels continue to attract readers around the world.

A Look into Austen’s World Austen wrote at a time when women were expected to 15 marriage. Yet, in her books like Pride and Prejudice, she cleverly questioned the social rules of her day. Her main female characters, 16 Elizabeth Bennet, showed great independence and inner strength. Using irony and humor, Austen offered sharp views on class and gender (阶级与性别) expectations. Timeless Themes for Modern Readers Her themes (主题) still connect with people strongly today. Adaptations (改编作品) and online discussions keep her exploration of love, family, and self-discovery alive across generations. For students, reading Austen goes 17 language learning.

He was the seventh of eight children in a poor family. When he was seven years old, his father died. Fleming went to school in Scotland before moving to London at the age of 13. He worked in a shipping office for four years before inheriting some money from an uncle. Fleming studied medicine at St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School in London. He won a scholarship and became a doctor in 1906. During World War I, Fleming served as a doctor in the army. He saw many soldiers die from infections, even from small wounds. This made him want to find a way to kill bacteria. In 1928, Fleming made a great discovery by accident. He was studying bacteria called staphylococci. He went on holiday and left some dishes of bacteria in his lab. When he came back, he noticed that one dish had mold on it. Around the mold, the bacteria had died. Fleming found that the mold could kill many types of bacteria. He called this mold “penicillin”. For many years, Fleming tried to make large amounts of penicillin, but it was difficult. In 1939, two other scientists, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain, found a way to produce enough penicillin. During World War II, penicillin saved thousands of soldiers’ lives. In 1945, Fleming, Florey and Chain won the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Fleming died in 1955, but his discovery continues to save millions of lives every year. 6．Where was Alexander Fleming born?

Every scene uses oil paint on canvas (画布). Twelve paintings were needed just to show one second of the film. It took more than 100 artists seven years to complete it. The movie has gotten good reviews since it came out on the Chinese mainland on December 8th. Its box office ( 票 房 ) earnings have reached over $20 million (132. 43 million yuan) worldwide. The film tells the story of the final months of famous Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh (1853－1890). The story is told through his paintings and the characters in them. It shows his death as being part of a murder mystery, as Hollywood Reporter said. A young man named Armand Roulin serves as both detective and storyteller. A year after the death of Vincent van Gogh, Armand is instructed by his father, Postman Joseph Roulin, to personally deliver a letter to Vincent’s brother, Theo. Armand isn’t fond of Van Gogh, but to please his father he agrees to give the letter, travelling across Europe to the town where Vincent spent his final months. When he finds that Theo has died of a disease shortly after his brother, he visits several important people in Van Gogh’s life to find out the truth behind his death. He talks with Van Gogh’s friend, a doctor, and the owner of the hotel he lived in. But each person tells a different story. There are many examples of the artist’s work in the movie. It shows over 120 of his paintings, such as The Night Café, Wheatfield with Crows, and The Starry Night. It’s no wonder Empire Magazine called it “one of the most beautiful films of 2017”. The real-life letters that Van Gogh wrote to his brother are shown as well. The movie lets you see the real Vincent van Gogh in a different way. 11．Loving Vincent is ________.
