In China, unlike in many other countries, movies almost always have subtitles(字幕) in both Chinese and English. This common practice has several key purposes: to improve understanding, increase accessibility(易于理解和使用), and support cultural exchange.
First, China has many dialects(方言). People in different parts of China speak differently. Besides Mandarin, there are many other local dialects. Some movie characters speak in these dialects to make the story feel real. It presents a challenge to the understanding of viewers from other areas. Subtitles help everyone in China follow the story, no matter what dialect they speak.
Second, some actors have soft or deep voices. These voices can sound emotional but are sometimes hard to hear in a loud cinema, especially with powerful bass sound. Subtitles make sure viewers don’t miss any words.
Third, cinema sound is fixed. You can turn your TV up or down, but you cannot control the volume in a cinema. Sometimes, the background music or sound effects are too loud compared to the actors’ voices. The sound might not be perfect, but subtitles help viewers follow the story easily.
Moreover, subtitles make films more inclusive(包容性). They help deaf or hard-of-hearing viewers understand the dialogue, giving them a full and enjoyable experience.
Finally, English subtitles help Chinese movies go around the world. English is the world’s most popular second language. With English subtitles, international viewers, film festival judges, and movie critics can watch and understand Chinese films. This builds cross-cultural understanding and allows these films to be judged fairly on an international stage.
In short, subtitles do more than just translate words—they build a bridge between cultures. They turn every film into a place where people from all over the world can meet and share stories.

Heidi
1. 2 January/by Cindy ☆☆☆☆☆ What a moving movie!
Heidi is a warm and comforting movie. From the snowy Alps to Heidi’s simple smile, every moment fills my heart with warmth. It’s one of the most moving films I’ve ever watched. In my heart, it has no difficult plot, but uses a simple story to pass on the truest feelings.
The story is set in the beautiful Swiss Alps. Heidi, a girl losing her parents, is sent to live with her unfriendly grandfather. At first, the cold grandfather doesn’t accept her. 2. They look after sheep, pick wild flowers and watch the sunrise. Life in the mountains is quite free and calm. Later, Heidi is taken to the city to be a partner to Clara, a rich young girl who can’t walk. With all the nice clothes and food, Heidi still deeply misses her grandfather and the freedom of mountain life. 3. In the end, Clara goes to see Heidi and Heidi even helps Clara get over the illness and learn to walk.
4. Heidi’s kindness and courage, the grandfather’s hard exterior but kind heart, and Clara’s gentleness and kindness are all fully reflected.
The scenes of the Alps are amazing. Green grasslands, white snowy mountains and clear streams make it a wonderland. It’s a more beautiful place than any other one. Besides the beautiful scenes, the dialogue is simple yet powerful, and it goes straight to the heart.
5. Heidi is exactly such a movie. It highly values nature, family and keeping our simplicity. Some kids belong only to the fields, woods, and nature. But everyone has this kind of kid and nature in their heart.
What you need is to find it.
A. Viewers’ reviews(观众影评)
B. The characters are very real.
C. Then she returns to her grandfather.
D. I realize how music makes our life colourful.
E. I prefer movies that show the power of nature.

Tilly Norwood was introduced in September at the Zurich Film Festival. She first appeared in the short film AI Commissioner that came out in July, 2025. In fact, Tilly is not a real person. She is a product of artificial intelligence (AI). Even the film’s script was written by ChatGPT, an AI tool.
This AI actress represents a new technology for Hollywood. She has been trained on the performances(表演) of hundreds of actors, without any pay. She learns how to act and speak from those performances.
Tilly also started a debate(辩论) on what counts as art. We consider creativity as a human quality. Art is generally understood as an expression of human experience. But Tilly’s performances come only from a database(数据库), not real creativity or life. Can this be compared to the art of real actors, which is built on years of hard work?
Also, her future depends on how the audience feels. If audiences accepted AI actors, many human jobs could be changed. Lower-level acting roles might disappear. There will be less need for creative teams, like make-up, costume, lighting and set design, because AI doesn’t require them.
Tilly is not a question of the future of Hollywood. It is a test of how much we value human creativity in our culture. AI is here, and some people will accept it. The risk is that if we prefer copying, we might change our culture in lasting ways.
( )1. How did Tilly Norwood learn to act?
A. By working hard for years in life.
B. By receiving practical training without any pay.
C. By keeping on practising lower-level acting skills.
D. By copying real actors’ performances from a database.
( )2. According to the passage, a is most likely to be less needed if AI actors become popular.
A. film director B. camera operator C. costume designer D. film critic
( )3. The passage is written mainly to .
A. recommend readers to watch films acted by AI actors
B. explain the advanced technology used to create AI actors
C. introduce a famous new AI actress called Tilly Norwood
D. discuss the situations and possible results brought by AI actors

Many Westerners think that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu. This is, of course, a silly belief. But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.
Like most people from the West, I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films. Some Chinese kung fu stars made kung fu popular in the Western world. The cool and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble in the Bronx and Enter the Dragon made them household names in the USA and elsewhere.
However, my own personal interest in kung fu was actually encouraged by a hip-hop group. Wu-Tang Clan, founded in the early 1990s in New York City, is one of the most famous hip-hop groups in history.
In their songs, they sometimes mention philosophical concepts(哲学理念) that come from wudang quan—the style of Chinese martial arts from which they take their name—and the Shaolin Monastery. I was just a teenager when I first started listening to Wu-Tang Clan—little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life!
I myself do not practise kung fu. However, the concepts behind it are quite interesting to me. There is a quote that I often think of when I’m struggling with challenges in life: Be formless, shapeless, like water. It means that you should be ready to change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties. I think this is a good way to deal with life.
根据短文内容回答问题,每题答案不超过8个单词。
1. Who made kung fu popular in the Western world?
2. What was the writer’s personal interest in kung fu encouraged by?
3. When did the writer first start listening to Wu-Tang Clan?
4. How does the writer face difficulties?
5. What do you think of kung fu after reading this passage?

These days, teenagers are heavily influenced by the media. Many of them have watched thousands of hours of short videos.
However, several studies have shown a serious problem: today’s teenagers are short of media literacy. In other words, they have difficulty critically(批判地) thinking about the information they see. One study that was done on middle school students showed that more than 80 percent of them couldn’t tell the difference between real stories and ads that looked like news.
Professor(教授) Kevin John teaches a class called Media Effects. He tries to help his students learn media literacy. The professor gave an example that shows why media literacy is important. In the example, two short videos report a snowstorm. One mainly tells the terrible road conditions. The other reports kids playing in the snow. “In a news story, short videos tell you the most important details in the eyes of the short video makers. These details mostly depend on their own opinions,” said John. “A person who has media literacy would realize that each story is just about one side of the event. But in fact, there is more going on.”
Some experts(专家) think school is the best place to teach media literacy. Others believe everyone—from parents to news directors—should help teenagers learn the skills.
As for the best time to start learning media literacy, many experts suggest the age of twelve. But some basic ideas can be taught even earlier. “It’s never too early to start learning media literacy,” John said.
( )1. What does the underlined phrase “media literacy” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. The ability to stop themselves watching short videos.
B. The ability to think about the information they see.
C. The ability to read news and ads online.
D. The ability to use the Internet.
( )2. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How to develop teenagers’ media literacy.
B. When teenagers start to use the media every day.
C. Why teenagers are supposed to have media literacy.
D. Where teenagers should be taught media literacy.
( )3. What is the main idea of the whole passage?
A. Teenagers spend too much time on short videos every day.
B. It’s necessary and important for teenagers to learn media literacy.
C. Schools should take full responsibility for teaching media literacy.
D. Different short videos show different sides of the same event.

Heidi
1. A 2 January/by Cindy ☆☆☆☆☆ What a moving movie!
Heidi is a warm and comforting movie. From the snowy Alps to Heidi’s simple smile, every moment fills my heart with warmth. It’s one of the most moving films I’ve ever watched. In my heart, it has no difficult plot, but uses a simple story to pass on the truest feelings.
The story is set in the beautiful Swiss Alps. Heidi, a girl losing her parents, is sent to live with her unfriendly grandfather. At first, the cold grandfather doesn’t accept her. 2. F They look after sheep, pick wild flowers and watch the sunrise. Life in the mountains is quite free and calm. Later, Heidi is taken to the city to be a partner to Clara, a rich young girl who can’t walk. With all the nice clothes and food, Heidi still deeply misses her grandfather and the freedom of mountain life. 3. C In the end, Clara goes to see Heidi and Heidi even helps Clara get over the illness and learn to walk.
4. B Heidi’s kindness and courage, the grandfather’s hard exterior but kind heart, and Clara’s gentleness and kindness are all fully reflected.
The scenes of the Alps are amazing. Green grasslands, white snowy mountains and clear streams make it a wonderland. It’s a more beautiful place than any other one. Besides the beautiful scenes, the dialogue is simple yet powerful, and it goes straight to the heart.
5. E Heidi is exactly such a movie. It highly values nature, family and keeping our simplicity. Some kids belong only to the fields, woods, and nature. But everyone has this kind of kid and nature in their heart.
What you need is to find it.
A. Viewers’ reviews(观众影评)
B. The characters are very real.
C. Then she returns to her grandfather.
D. I realize how music makes our life colourful.
E. I prefer movies that show the power of nature.
F. However, Heidi’s kind and lively personality slowly softens(软化) his cold exterior.

Tilly Norwood was introduced in September at the Zurich Film Festival. She first appeared in the short film AI Commissioner that came out in July, 2025. In fact, Tilly is not a real person. She is a product of artificial intelligence (AI). Even the film’s script was written by ChatGPT, an AI tool.
This AI actress represents a new technology for Hollywood. She has been trained on the performances(表演) of hundreds of actors, without any pay. She learns how to act and speak from those performances.
Tilly also started a debate(辩论) on what counts as art. We consider creativity as a human quality. Art is generally understood as an expression of human experience. But Tilly’s performances come only from a database(数据库), not real creativity or life. Can this be compared to the art of real actors, which is built on years of hard work?
Also, her future depends on how the audience feels. If audiences accepted AI actors, many human jobs could be changed. Lower-level acting roles might disappear. There will be less need for creative teams, like make-up, costume, lighting and set design, because AI doesn’t require them.
Tilly is not a question of the future of Hollywood. It is a test of how much we value human creativity in our culture. AI is here, and some people will accept it. The risk is that if we prefer copying, we might change our culture in lasting ways.
( D )1. How did Tilly Norwood learn to act?
A. By working hard for years in life.
B. By receiving practical training without any pay.
C. By keeping on practising lower-level acting skills.
D. By copying real actors’ performances from a database.
( C )2. According to the passage, a is most likely to be less needed if AI actors become popular.
A. film director B. camera operator C. costume designer D. film critic
( D )3. The passage is written mainly to .
A. recommend readers to watch films acted by AI actors
B. explain the advanced technology used to create AI actors
C. introduce a famous new AI actress called Tilly Norwood
D. discuss the situations and possible results brought by AI actors

Every Saturday, Wang Fokun goes to “watch” a movie. He became blind in his early 1. fifties (fifty). However, he can still enjoy movies in a “talking movie” club—Xindeng Theatre. It is in Kunming, Yunnan. 2. A group of volunteers there describe movies to blind people.
“I listened to a movie for the first time in the summer of 2019, and it was 3. amazing (amaze). The volunteers 4. did (do) a great job,” said Wang.
Describing movies to blind people can be challenging. The volunteers must watch a movie many times to know everything in it. So they can describe the movie very 5. clearly (clear).
“Movies 6. are (be) for everybody,” said Zhou Quan, the founder of the club. “Xindeng Theatre 7. hopes (hope) to share movies with blind people and help to light up their lives.” Thanks 8. to the special club, many blind people go out of their homes 9. and their lives are more interesting.

Many Westerners think that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu. This is, of course, a silly belief. But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.
Like most people from the West, I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films. Some Chinese kung fu stars made kung fu popular in the Western world. The cool and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble in the Bronx and Enter the Dragon made them household names in the USA and elsewhere.
However, my own personal interest in kung fu was actually encouraged by a hip-hop group. Wu-Tang Clan, founded in the early 1990s in New York City, is one of the most famous hip-hop groups in history.
In their songs, they sometimes mention philosophical concepts(哲学理念) that come from wudang quan—the style of Chinese martial arts from which they take their name—and the Shaolin Monastery. I was just a teenager when I first started listening to Wu-Tang Clan—little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life!
I myself do not practise kung fu. However, the concepts behind it are quite interesting to me. There is a quote that I often think of when I’m struggling with challenges in life: Be formless, shapeless, like water. It means that you should be ready to change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties. I think this is a good way to deal with life.
根据短文内容回答问题,每题答案不超过8个单词。
1. Who made kung fu popular in the Western world? Some Chinese kung fu stars.
2. What was the writer’s personal interest in kung fu encouraged by? A hip-hop group.
3. When did the writer first start listening to Wu-Tang Clan? When he was just a teenager.
4. How does the writer face difficulties? By changing his attitudes or beliefs.
5. What do you think of kung fu after reading this passage? It is a big part of Chinese culture.(言之有理即可)

These days, teenagers are heavily influenced by the media. Many of them have watched thousands of hours of short videos.
However, several studies have shown a serious problem: today’s teenagers are short of media literacy. In other words, they have difficulty critically(批判地) thinking about the information they see. One study that was done on middle school students showed that more than 80 percent of them couldn’t tell the difference between real stories and ads that looked like news.
Professor(教授) Kevin John teaches a class called Media Effects. He tries to help his students learn media literacy. The professor gave an example that shows why media literacy is important. In the example, two short videos report a snowstorm. One mainly tells the terrible road conditions. The other reports kids playing in the snow. “In a news story, short videos tell you the most important details in the eyes of the short video makers. These details mostly depend on their own opinions,” said John. “A person who has media literacy would realize that each story is just about one side of the event. But in fact, there is more going on.”
Some experts(专家) think school is the best place to teach media literacy. Others believe everyone—from parents to news directors—should help teenagers learn the skills.
As for the best time to start learning media literacy, many experts suggest the age of twelve. But some basic ideas can be taught even earlier. “It’s never too early to start learning media literacy,” John said.
( B )1. What does the underlined phrase “media literacy” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. The ability to stop themselves watching short videos.
B. The ability to think about the information they see.
C. The ability to read news and ads online.
D. The ability to use the Internet.
( C )2. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How to develop teenagers’ media literacy.
B. When teenagers start to use the media every day.
C. Why teenagers are supposed to have media literacy.
D. Where teenagers should be taught media literacy.
( B )3. What is the main idea of the whole passage?
A. Teenagers spend too much time on short videos every day.
B. It’s necessary and important for teenagers to learn media literacy.
C. Schools should take full responsibility for teaching media literacy.
D. Different short videos show different sides of the same event.
