Four Inspiring Movies
Forrest Gump（1992）
Forrest Gump is a simple man with a low IQ but good intentions．This movie follows the fictional
story in which the simple man makes his way through some of the more turbulent（动荡的）times
from the 1960s through 1980s．This film took home six Oscars，inspired a "Weird Al" song，and proves
that a big heart is the most important thing．
It's a Wonderful Life（1946）
No movie list would be complete without a nod to the past．Let's go with this Christmas classic，
about a man with serious financial troubles who intends to commit suicide（自杀）by jumping off a
bridge．His guardian angel Clarence Odbody stops him and tells him what life would have been like for
those close to him had he never been born．Realizing how much he means to others，he rushes back
home and all sorts of happy，inspirational，Christmassy things happen．
Dead Poet's Society（1990）
John Keating（Robin Williams）is a high school English literature teacher at a famous all﹣male
boarding school who gets into trouble with the school administration after encouraging his students to
challenge authority and think for themselves．It is certainly inspirational，if not also frustratingly．
A Beautiful Mind（2001）
This movie tells the story of John Nash（Russell Crowe），a professor at Princeton，a US university
， who revolutionized the field of game theory and fell into madness as a result of paranoid
schizophrenia（精神分裂症）．With the love and support of his family as well as the help of medical
professionals，he managed to overcome his mental illness and continued to make contributions to the
field of mathematics．

B．It has a happy ending．
C．It tells a story of friendship．
D．It is famous for the leading role．
（2）Which film are Robin Williams' fans more likely to watch？
A．Forrest Gump．

12．（8 分）In the 1970s，chemist James Lovelock and microbiologist Lynn Margulis developed the Gaia
hypothesis（盖亚假说）：all organic and inorganic components on the planet are part of one self﹣
regulating system，working to maintain life on earth．Scientists agree that we need take significant
action to control emissions（排放）．But where scientists and popular movements have thus far failed
to convince the world to act，it seems that Mother Earth may have succeeded，with the never﹣before
﹣seen COVID﹣19．
COVID﹣19 is estimated to have reduced carbon dioxide emission in China by a quarter．It caused
factories to shut down，and slowed construction activities．Recent analysis shows a 70 percent drop in
flights in February compared with January．And even getting into a car and going to a restaurant，
shopping mall，or concert poses a risk of infection，which means that many people are choosing to stay
at home and are consuming less，resulting in a significant reduction of their carbon footprints．
Of course，China and the rest of the world will hope to restart normal production and consumption
as soon as the virus is under control．However，some positive measures have already been taken as a
result of COVID﹣19．As the virus is thought to originate from wildlife，Chinese authorities are
revising laws and regulations regarding the country's massive wildlife trade in order to prevent future
epidemics（流行病）﹣a win for biodiversity．
The deaths of thousands of people worldwide should also serve as a lasting reminder of the 第 3 页（共 11 页）
fragility of life ． We humans frequently ignore or repress uncomfortable thoughts of death and
extinction．We would rather get on with our lives as usual，thinking everything will somehow work out
in the end．Only in the face of suffering and death are we forced to view the bigger，longer﹣term
perspective﹣and this is what is needed in order to react appropriately to climate change．COVID﹣19
has sent alarm bells ringing throughout the world．
（1）What does the author mention the Gaia hypothesis for？
A．To tell the main idea of the text．
B．To introduce the topic for discussion．
C．To show the need to protect the planet．
D．To stress the importance of self﹣regulating system．
（2）What is the second paragraph mainly about？
A．The unexpected benefit of COVID﹣19．
B．The economic influence of COVID﹣19．
C．The preventive measures for COVID﹣19．
D．The possible causes of COVID﹣19．
（3）What does the underlined word "repress" in the last paragraph refer to？
A．Control．
B．Hold．
C．Vary．
D．Test．
（4）What does the writer want to tell us in the text？
A．It's urgent to fight the virus．
B．The virus has caused many deaths．
C．Life is fragile in face of disasters．
D．Action is needed for climate change．
13．（8 分）Screen time increases by 300 percent between the ages of l and 3 according to a recent study
． In a perfect world，parents would always choose outdoor time over screen time．But for many parents
，decreasing screen time isn't as simple as it sounds．That's because screens are increasingly used as an
entertainment and distraction（分心）tool for kids which parents think is necessary due to a lack of 第 4 页（共 11 页）
quality childcare．
The United States government defines affordable childcare as care costing no more than 7 percent
of a family's total income，yet more than 40 percent of families say they set aside more than 15 percent
of their total income for it，according to a 2019 survey published by Care．com．
Affordable childcare in America is a dream．"Screen time is used as a last substitute for childcare
for many families，" says licensed child therapist（治疗师）Katie Lear．"Particularly for parents who
work from home，it can be hard to justify hiring a caregiver or paying for daycare．And yet children
need to be able to keep themselves occupied during important work calls．Turning on the TV can buy
the parent some valuable time during what can be a very tiring day．"
If affordable childcare wasn't just a daydream，if the system we have wasn't dependent on two
incomes，if parents could actually afford not to work 50+ hours a week，if childcare centers could
afford to pay their workers a desirable wage，then maybe，we'd see screen time decrease instead of
increase．We know our kids should be interacting with something other than You Tube videos and
flash games for hours a week．But before we fix our broken system and before affordable，quality
childcare becomes a reality，parents and caregivers are going to do whatever they can to make it，and
that includes using screens as passive childcare．
（1）Why do parents allow their children to spend much time on screens？
A．To please their children．
B．To make up the lack of quality childcare．
C．To attract kids' attention to classes online．
D．To help children learn about necessary technology．
（2）What do the statistics in Paragraph 2 indicate？
A．Childcare workers have high income．
B．Childcare centers are popular in America．
C．Childcare is a heavy burden for parents．
D．Childcare is supported by local government．
（3）Why is Lear mentioned in the text？
A．To uncover the reason for screen time as childcare．
B．To prove the advantages of adopting e﹣products．第 5 页（共 11 页）
C．To present the ways of parents' improving childcare．
D．To explain the benefits of hiring a caregiver．
（4）What's the key in reducing children's screen time？
A．Enough company time．
B．High income in the family．
C．Turning off the TV．
D．Hiring a caregiver．
14．（8 分）A butterfly's wings can have many jobs besides keeping the insect in the air．They may be
called on to attract mates，to warn potential enemies to stay away，to do other animals or even to
provide disguise（伪装）．
All of these roles，though，depend on their colouration﹣which is unchanging．This plays into the
idea that butterfly wings are dead tissue，like a bird's feathers or a mammal's hair．In fact，that is not
true．For example，in some species males' wings harbour special cells that release chemicals which
attract females．
Nanfang Yu，a physicist at Columbia University，in New York，has been looking into the matter
． One of his interests is the optical（光学的）properties of biological materials．That has led him to
study butterfly wings in more detail．And，in cooperation with Naomi Pierce，a butterfly specialist at
Harvard University，he has now shown，in a paper published this week in Nature Communications，that
butterfly wings are，indeed，very much alive．
Initially，Dr Yu and Dr Pierce wanted to know how the insects keep their body temperatures up
without their wings overheating．Unlike birds and mammals，butterflies do not produce enough internal
heat to metabolize（新陈代谢）．Instead，they rely on outside heat sources﹣usually the sun﹣to
bring their bodies up to speed．But their wings，being thin protein membranes（膜），have a limited
thermal capacity．Those wings can therefore overheat quickly if the insects are exposed to the sunlight
too long，or，oppositely，can cool down too rapidly if they are flying through cold air．
In their experiments，the two researchers used a laser（激光）to heat up spots on the wings of
dozens of butterfly species．When the temperature of the area under the laser reached 40°C or so，the
insects responded within seconds by doing things that stopped their wings heating up further．These
actions included a butterfly turning around to minimize its exposure to the laser，beating its wings or
simply walking away．第 6 页（共 11 页）
（1）What's Dr Yu's discovery about butterfly wings？
A．They contain dead tissue．
B．They are too thin to store heat．
C．They have different functions．
D．They react quickly to high heat．
（2）Which of the following is True according to the text？
A．Butterflies metabolize completely with its internal heat．
B．Chemicals from butterfly wings help drive away threats．
C．The color of butterfly's wings keeps fixed．
D．The researchers achieved big in optical properties．
（3）How can a butterfly stop its wings overheating？
A．By providing heat itself．
B．By flying through cold air．
C．By removing the source of heat．
D．By adjusting their heating surface．
（4）What's the best title for the text？
A．A Research into Butterfly Wings
B．The Jobs of Butterfly Wings
C．Butterfly Wings：Dead or Alive
D．Butterfly Wings' Temperature Changes

空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．
15．（10 分）When you think of the Arctic，you imagine an icy land of pure white snow．Others imagine
it as the last really clean place left on Earth．We have polluted the deepest oceans with plastic trash，
（1）
German scientists have recently found microplastics in Arctic snow．（2） Sadly，the
scientists found 1，800 pieces of microplastic per liter of snow．
How is plastic pollution reaching the Arctic？According to scientists．"It's apparent that the majority
of the microplastics in the snow comes from the air．" They fall off plastic objects and are moved by 第 7 页（共 11 页）
the wind，just like dust．（3） Finding these plastics in Arctic snow means that we may breathe
them in．An even higher amount of microplastic was found in the snow around cities．
The high concentrations found in snow samples suggest microplastics，which contain rubber or
chemicals used in synthetic fabrics（混合纤维），may cause significant air pollution．
（4） Scientists cannot answer this question for now，according to the world Health
Organization．We do know that our bodies cannot take in "large" pieces of microplastics．However，
if the plastics are small enough，they can find ways into our bodies and stay there for a long time．
What's more ， earlier studies have shown that microplastics may contribute to lung cancer risk ，
heightening the need to further assess the risks of taking them in，the study said．
Microplastics have also been found in rivers and oceans around the world．Previous research has
found that they flow over long distances and into our oceans，damaging ecosystems along the way．（
5） The waste water then flows into rivers and out to sea，where they are eaten by sea animals
．If people then eat these animals，it means that we're eating the plastic as well．
A．Are they bad for us？
B．and now it's the Arctic's turn．
C．so we should take action to protect the world．
D．They mix with ice in the air and fall to the ground as snow．
E．Microplastics are pieces of plastic smaller than 5 millimeters．
F．They start in our water when we wash clothes with plastic fibers．
G．Is plastic pollution doing great damage to our global economy？
