A
Movie theaters around the world have closed during the coronations
outbreak. Fortunately, there's never been a better time to catch up on
classic old movies. Below, read our picks for best travel movies:
‘Thelma and Louise'(1991)
“Thelma and Louise,” is a tale of female friendship, and the screen
is dominated by the film's two lead females. The pals from small-town
Arkansas hit the road on a weekend quest in search of fun and freedom from
their jobs and their boredom.
Filmed in California and Utah, with the best Grand Canyon scenes
filmed south of Dead Horse Point State Park, “Thelma and Louise”is a
good option if you have never been out West or if you have and eager to
return.
‘Grand Budapest Hotel' (2014)
It's one of the most satisfying films of director Wes Anderson all
works. Set in a luxury ski resort in the fictional East European Republic
of Zubrowka in the 1930s, the plot is supported by a murder investigation
filled with stolen art, prison escapes and a secret concierge (看门人)
society.
Though the hotel doesn't actually exist, much of the film was shot
in the beautiful German town of Goerlitz, famed for its medieval streets.
‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone'(200)
When Harry Potter runs through a column at King's Cross railway
station in London to get to Platform 9 3/4, we know it isn't real. And
yet we want to visit.
The movie's locations are inspired by real places, as graduates of
English private schools will tell you: rushing down narrow old streets to visit tea houses and sandwich shops, discovering books that are
hundreds of years old.
‘The Trip to Italy' (2014)
In this film, you're on an extraordinary road trip along with two old
friends. The route is from Piedmont via Rome to Amalfi, back to Naples
and finally the tony island of Capri. Retracing the footsteps of romantic
poets Byron and Shelley, they drive a Mini Cooper through the breathtaking
country and alongside stiff seaside cliffs.
1. If you are interested in the scenery of American west, which film can
you choose to watch?
A. Thelma and Louise. B. Grand Budapest Hotel.
C. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. D. The Trip to Italy.
2. Which place mentioned in the films can't be found in real life?
A. Goerlitz. B. Grand Budapest Hotel.
C. Capri. D. Dead Horse Point State Park.
3. Why does the author write this passage?
A To introduce some places to travel.
B. To introduce the newly released films.
C. To recommend some travel movies to watch.
D.To show the attractive scenery mentioned in the films.
B
In life , once on a path , we tend to follow it , for better or
worse.What's sad is that even if it's the latter, we often accept it
anyway because we are so used to the way things are that wed don't even
recognize that they could be different This is a phenomenon psychologist
call functional fixedness.
This classic experiment will give you an idea of how it works and a
sense of whether you may have fallen into the same trap:
People are given a box of tacks (大头钉) and some matches and asked
to find a way to attach a candle to a wall so that it burns properly.
Typically, the subjects try tacking the candle to the wall or lighting
it to fix it with melted wax. The psychologists had, of course, arranged
it so that neither of these obvious approaches would work. The tacks are
too short, and the paraffin (石蜡) doesn't stick to the wall. So how can
you complete the task? The successful technique is to use the tack box
as a candle-holder. You empty it, tack it to the wall. and stand the candle
inside it. To think of that, you have to look beyond the box's usual role as a receptacle just for tacks and re-imagine it serving an entirely new
purpose. That is difficult because we all suffer to one degree or another
from functional fixedness.
The inability to think in new ways affects people in every corner of
society. The political theorist Hannah Arendt coined the phrase“frozen
thoughts”to describe deeply held ideas that we no longer question but
should. In Arendt's eyes, the self- content reliance on such accepted
“truths”also made people blind to ideas that didn't fit their worldview,
even when there was plenty of evidence for them.
Frozen thinking has nothing to do with intelligence, she said,“It
can be found in highly intelligent people.”
4. What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The experiment. B. Functional fixedness.
C. The path. D. The thinking.
5. Which way is hard to think of to complete the task?
A. Tacking the candle to the wall.

6. Which of the following statements will Hannah Arendt agree with?
A.People should question.
B.We should be used to the way things are.
C.People shouldn't accept the idea that doesn't fit their worldview.
D.The smarter people are, the more open to the new things they
are.
7.What's the passage mainly about?
A.An interesting experiment
B.A psychological phenomenon.
C.A theory to be proved.
D.The opinion of Hannah Arendt.
CJapan's biggest airline is betting that the future of travel isn't
traveling at all. For the last month, a married couple has been interacting
with a robot—called an Avatar—that's controlled by their daughter
hundreds of miles away. Made by ANA Holdings Inc., it looks like a vacuum
cleaner with an iPad attached. But the screen displays the daughter's face
as they chat, and its wheels let her move about the house as though she's
really there.
“Virtual travel” is nothing new,of course.Storytellers, travel
writers and artists have been stimulating the senses of armchair tourists
for centuries. It's only in recent decades that frequent, safe travel has
become available to the non- wealthy.
Yet even as the world's middle classes climb out of the armchair and
into economy-class seat, there are signs of a post-travel society emerging.
Concerns about environmental sustainability cause loss to airlines which
release much carbon. And the aging of abundant societies is both
restricting physical travel and creating demand for alternative ways to
experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual reality offers an
attractive response to these trends.
Of course, new technologies encourage far-out claims. ANA doesn't
plan to start selling Avatars until next year. Profits, too, will probably
be difficult to make: By one estimate, the global market for this kind
of technology will be worth only about $300 million by 2023. By contrast,
ANA's traditional travel business brought in more than $19 billion last
year.
But if the business value for virtual vacations is still weak, the
market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families
and coworkers seems likely to only expand. ANA's robots may not replace
its airplanes any time soon, but they ll almost certainly be a part of
travel's high-tech future.
8. Why does the author use the example of a couple interacting with a robot?
A. To show the Japanese are crazy about travel.
B. To indicate virtual travel begins to enter people's real life.
C. To show the couple are very enthusiastic over robots.
D. To express the close relationship between the couple and their
daughter.
9. Which of the following is the possible reason for virtual travel's
appearance?
A. Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been using it for
centuries.
B. Frequent and safe travel has become available to the ordinary people.
C. People are worried about the air pollution caused by airlines.
D. More and more people lose interest in travel.10. What can we learn about Avatars from the last two paragraphs?
A. They will be put on the market soon.
B. They will bring ANA a lot of money,
C. They will replace ANA's airplanes soon.
D. They are almost unavoidable in travel's future.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Your Next Travel May Be Virtual
B.Easy Travel in the Future
C.Virtual Travel Benefits
D.Air Travel Disappearing

with an albino (白化病) girl .“1 was just tired of people telling me who

Laboratory studies have shown that prolonged exposure to high
intensity blue light damages retinal (视网膜的) cells in mice. 16
So, why is there the disconnect between blue light's effects on rodent(啮齿
类动物) eyes and human eyes?
17 We have protective elements, such as macular pigments (黄斑色
素) and the natural blue-blocking ability of the crystalline lens (晶状体).
These structures absorb blue light before it reaches the delicate retina.
Just because blue light isn't harming your retina, it doesn't mean
your electronic devices are harmless. 18 Mounting evidence suggests
that screen time before bed increases the time it takes to fall sleep.
It also robs you of restorative rapid-eye movement seep, dulls focus, and
reduces brain activity the next day.
19
First, turn off your electronic devices before bed. Outside of the
bedroom, when you do look at your screens, lower the brightness.
Second, follow the“20-20-20”rule The American Optometric
Association(美国验光学会) defines this rule as taking a 20-second break
every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet in the distance. 20 Third, use lubricating eye drops before extended computer use. This
method will build up the body's natural tears and keep the eye's surface
water-bearing.
A. This will allow your eyes to relax.
B. Human eyes are different from rodent eyes.
C. That's why it's so important to have your eyes tested regularly.
D. Because of is wavelength, blue light dos disrupt healthy sleep
physiology (生理机能).
E. But epidemiological (流行病学的) studies on real people tell a
different story.
F. Consumers often don't think about the impact digital devices might
have on their vision.
G. There are ways to make your screen viewing more comfortable and
more helpful to seep.

David knew the waterfall was coming. It wasn't his first visit to the
river in central California. He figured he would hop out of his raft into
the sallow water, rappel down the rocks (沿岩壁下降)on either side of the
fall, and continue on his way, as he had on a previous trip.
But this year was different. Heavy snow and spring rains had turned
the usually manageable falls into something fierce. And this year, instead
of his friends, David's companions were his girlfriend, Sara, and his
l3-year-old son, Hunter. As the three of them approached the falls late
in the afternoon of the third day of their camping trip, David could tell
from the increasing roar of water in the narrowing valley that they were
in serious trouble. There was no way they 'd be able to rappel down the
rocks as planned.
They could wade (蹚水) to the shore, but would anyone find them there?
They had no phone service, and they hadn't seen a single person in the
past three days. And David knew they'd be sharing the ground there with
snakes and mountain lions.
As he wondered what to do, David hit on a bit of luck he heard voices
coming from the other side of the fall. He yelled, but the sound of the
rushing water drowned him out.
We had to do get these people a message, David thought. He caught a
branch and pulled out his pocketknife to carve“Help" in it. Then he tied
a rope to it so the people would know it wasn't just any branch. He tried
flying it over the falls, but it floated away in the wrong direction.
Then he spotted his green water bottle David grabbed it and carved
“Help!” on it Sara also reminded him that he had a pen and paper, which
she'd brought to play games with, in his backpack.
David knew it was just an attempt. But he wrote down“6- 15-19 We are
stuck here at the waterfall. Get help please”and pushed the note into
the bottle.
Paragraph l:This time, his throw over the waterfall was perfect.
Paragraph 2:
The next morning. they heard a helicopter hovering (盘旋) above
them.
