Episodes typically begin with an in-depth discussion of one major new theatrical release. A reliable highlights is a Massacre Theater, in which the hosts gamely re-enact(重演) a scene and invite listeners to guess which movie it is from. “How did these get made?” The actors Paul Scheer , June Diane Raphael and Jason Mantzoukas host this discussion that doesn't aim to pile hate on bad films so much as make detailed fun of them but try to figure out how they came to be. The hosts are so attractive that the commentary doesn't come off as negative; even when they discuss true duds, their real love of movies shines through. “The Rewatchables ” “The Rewatchables ” taps into the universal joy of revisiting a favorite movie-and the less universal joy of doing it with a bunch of deeply knowledgeable friends. Each episode finds Bill Simmons, host of the show, and a cast of guests examining a movie that may not be an obvious classic, but is a culturally significant film that you have likely seen at least once. “Scripetnotes”3 Billed as a show about “ screenwriting and things that are interesting to screen writers”, “Scripetnotes” offers specific advice on screenwriting. The show's regular Three Page Challenge, in which the two hosts, Craig Mazin and John August, comment on the sample of an audience- submitted screenplay, is invaluable whether you are an ambitious screenwriter or a curious film fan. 21. What is the most interesting part of the “FilmSpotting”? A. Re-enacting a new theoretical release B. Involving people in guessing movies C. Reviewing culturally significant films D. Acting with the audience-submitted screenplay 22. What does the show hosted by Bill Simons focus on. A. Revisiting popular films B. Making remarks on bad films C. Recommending worth-watching classics D.Exploring the way the film business works. 23. Which show will be especially attractive to film writers. A.“Scripetnotes” B.“Film spotting” C.“The Rewatchables ” D. “How did these get made” B Some cities and lawmakers are resisting crime-fighting tech owing to bias（偏见） and accuracy concerns .Police departments around the U.S. are asking citizens to trust them to use facial recognition software as a handy tool in their crime-fighting toolbox.But some lawmakers—and even some technology giants—are against it. Take the western Massachusetts city of Springfield, where many residents are Latino or African-American. Springfield police say they have no plans to use facial recognition systems, but some City Council members are moving to block any future government use of the technology anyway. At an October hearing on the subject, Springfield City Councillor, Orlando Ramos, defended the technology. “The facial recognition technology doesn't drop a net from the sky and put you in prison,” he said, noting that it could serve as a useful investigative tool. However, he doesn't want to take any risks. “ it would only lead to more racial discrimination,” he said, citing studies that found higher error rates of facial recognition software used to identify women and people with darker skins. Similar debates across the country are highlighting racial issues and concerns about the technology’s accuracy. Axon,which supplies body-worn cameras nationwide, had already formed an artificial intelligence ethnic board (伦理委员会)that concluded facial recognition technology isn't yet dependable enough to justify its use on police cameras.Axon Chief Executive Rick Smith said , “even if facial recognition software is perfectly accurate, the ability to track people raises privacy concerns.” “Do we want everybody who walks near a police officer to get their face identified and logged in a database?” he added. Nevertheless, Todd Pastorini, general manager at a biometric forensics (生物鉴证)company DataWorks Plus, said it’s the “extremely effective” method of running images through photos to help identify a suspect. “Society and the public are going to get frustrated, if governments refuse 4 to adopt a technology that keeps improving”, he said. To his eye, facial recognition hits are just one part of an investigation. 24. What is Orlando Ramos’ attitude towards facial recognition? A. Hopeful B. Cautious C. Ambiguous. D.Tolerant. 25. What is one focus of the debates about facial recognition? A.Gender discrimination B. Speed limit C.Accuracy rate D. steadiness control. 26. What does Rick Smith think of facial recognition? A. It appears to cause prejudice B. It brings about privacy concerns, C. Its technology is reliable D.Its accuracy needs improving. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Facial recognition tool meets with resistance. B. All the people disapprove of facial recognition. C. Facial recognition is the only tool of investigation. D. Governments should ban facial recognition. C In recent times, vegetarianism has become more popular, but it is still not the best option for many. If you may be contemplating removing meat from your diet but do not want to go completely meat-free, perhaps try going meat-free for just one day a week. Sharon Palmer, a registered dietitian and author of Plant Powered for Life, discusses how “research consistently shows that plant based diets are linked with a lower risk of obesity, hypertension, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer”. She says, “Even going meatless one day a week can make a difference, as you increase all of those whole plant—foods beans, wholegrains , nuts, seeds, vegetables, fruits—and decrease more animal foods, in particular red and processed meat. A high intake of these foods has been linked with increased disease risk.” Deciding to have a more plant-based diet also increases your intake of fiber, vitamins healthy fats and minerals. To help to do this, stocking your fridge with a variety of beans, seasonable veggies , wholegrains, herbs, nuts and seeds is Palmer’s secret to eating more plant-based meals. Palmer’s other recommendation is “plantifying” your favorite dishes. “Just make your favorite entrees or meals plant-based, with a few swaps.If you love Taco Tuesday, make your tacos veggie by skipping the meat and serving black beans or a vegetarian mushroom with tofu filling. If you love Indian food, skip the chicken masala and have chickpea masala instead. These will be foods you already love and are familiar with.” Her biggest advice is to pick one day a week to follow through this and mark it on your calendar. “I love the Meatless Monday idea because people often start their best behavior at the beginning of the week... However, there may be a better day of the week for you. So just plan it,” Palmer said. 28.What does the underlined words “contemplating” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean.? A. Stopping B.Delaying C.Resisting D.Considering. 29.The writer mentions Sharon Palmer as a registered dietitian and author of a book probably 5 because he wants his readers to______. A .firmly believe Palmer’s advice B .better understanding Palmer’s theory C.buy Palmer’s popular book D.know the popularity of Palmer’s advice. 30.To “plantify” your favorite dishes, you just________. A .try going meat-free one day a week B.stock your fridge with whole plant foods C.use vegetable filings, not meat for dumplings D. plan a meatless day of the week as you like. 31.How about Palmer’s advice according to the text? A.Theoretical B. Practical C.Boring D.Unrealistic. D Up to 40% of all food in the United States is wasted. Producing food that people don't consume swallows up roughly 20% of America’s cropland and agricultural water, and produces greenhouse gas emissions( 排 放 物 ) equal to 37 million passenger vehicles each year. Yet, 37 million Americans lack consistent access to adequate and nutritious food. NRDC’s Food Matters Initiative partners cities to confront food waste. Food Matters is piloting all-round, cutting-edge strategies that are easy to follow and share. The first two strategies-and arguably the most critical ones-are to estimate a local baseline level of food waste and then assess the potential for rescuing surplus food. A baseline is necessary in order to understand the scale and natural of the problem. It is also a prerequisite(先决条件) to assessing any progress made, which will help inform future program development. Using a calculator tool NRDC developed based on the Food Matters research models ,the Atlanta’s Mayor’s Office of Resilience had a better understanding of the qualities of wasted food and where it was likely occurring. This allowed the city to focus the attention on the solutions that were more closely related to the situation in Atlanta. As in many cities across the U.S., much of the food wasted in Atlanta occurs in households and consumer-facing businesses such as restaurants. Armed with this information, the Mayor’s Office of Resilience, creates a restaurant challenge encouraging restaurants to work on the entire system of reduction, rescue, and recycling. After 90 days and participation from 6 restaurants at Atlanta's Hartsfield Jackson airport, the program rescue 21,000 meals and saved owners over $62000. Atlanta’s restaurant challenge is one of a handful of examples where cities have engaged(吸引） consumer-facing food businesses to reduce their food waste. New York led the charge with a Mayor’s challenge to restaurants .Denver recently completed a series of neighborhood restaurant challenges. Nashville has an ongoing Mayor’s Food Saver Challenge including not just restaurants but other food businesses as well. Several other cities and countries throughout the country have similar business engagement success stories. 32.What are the data mainly about in paragraph 1? A .the harm of food waste B .the cause of food pollution C. the importance of food safety D. the solution to food waste. 33.How does Atlanta benefit from the calculator tool of NRDC?6 A. It makes new plans for banning food waste B. It helps the city better work on the solutions. C. It tests the work efficiency of the government D. It increases the potential for recycling food waste. 34.What is the restaurant challenge mainly about? A.Inspiring customers to order food based on actual need B. Teaching waiters to deal with food waste in the greener way. C. Encouraging restaurants to reduce food waste in every process . D. Making restaurants compete with each other in waste recycling. 35.What can we learn from the last paragraph? A.Restaurant challenges only work in America B.More and more cities are focusing on food waste . C.Food businesses are the main sources of food waste . D.It is difficult to complete the restaurant challenges. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 Have you ever heard of the Internet of Things(IoT)?

Retired schoolteacher Cathy has been a member of such an organization, VNSA, since 2012. Her duties involve working throughout the year to help prepare the books for their February sale and acting as personnel manager for the sale. That means she helps coordinate (协调) all the other volunteers who help out before, during, and after the event. It was before the 2019 book sale and Cathy once again found herself sitting among a towering pile of books and sorting through them to ensure that they would be in good enough condition to resell. As she was sorting, she came upon a book, wrinkled and broken. Though she didn't like doing it, the only remaining choice for her was to throw it away. A greedy book lover herself, Cathy felt guilty about throwing away any book. Before she threw it away, she decided to check for more serious damage inside that might justify her giving it up. She opened the cover and went through the pages when she noticed something unusual. Going through the pages, Cathy was surprised to see that a part had been hollowed out (挖 空)inside the book. Obviously, something was hidden in that rather expertly hollowed space. She looked down and saw that the book's previous owner had hidden four packages in the space, each containing ten$100 bills. Cathy's first thought was that the bills were toy money that perhaps a kid had hidden inside as part of some childish game or something. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150 左右； 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 But Cathy soon realized that these were real $100 bills.______________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ Luckily for Cathy, the book also contained the name of the book owner._________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ 10 英语第二次月考答案 听力答案： 1.A 2.B 3.B 4.B 5.C 6.

In the past, I always started to get my work done till the last minute. When the program began, I tried hard to force myself to do everything in time. With the encouragement from the people around me as well as my efforts, everything has changed — I've made significant progress in my studies and made more friends in my class. I’m really grateful for the program now. 2、读后续写： But Cathy soon realized that these were real $ 100 bills. Whoever had owned the book had chosen to hide $ 4,000 inside the book. Cathy's second thought upon seeing the money was that this was sufficient to do charity. She didn’t bother considering keeping the money herself. It just didn't feel right to keep it for any reason. Regardless of how much good she thought she might be able to do with the money, Catchy decided that the only realistic choice left to her was to return it to its owner. Luckily for Cathy, the book also contained the name of the book owner. Using this name, Cathy might be able to find its rightful owner. Still, it would take a little digging. Thankfully, the 11 book's previous owner happened to have a pretty unusual last name. This made Cathy's Internet search much easier. After only about ten minutes online, Cathy found them. The money belonged to a man. So thankful was he for Cathy's honesty that he actually ended up donating a generous amount to VNSA to show his gratitude.
