Despite the lack of new releases due to the outbreak of COVID-19, there was no shortage of
good films in 2020. We've rounded out the top 4 films. Check them out!
Soul
In the first Pixar cartoon to have an African-American lead character, Jamie Foxx provides the
voice of a music teacher who dreams of making it as a jazz pianist. But just after a successful
interview, he falls down a manhole and finds himself in a soul world where human spirits are
assigned their personalities. And things get even stranger from there.
Nomadland
When Fern loses her husband and can't afford to live in a house, she packs her few belongings
into a camper and drives off into the Nevada desert. She encounters a large community of senior
citizens who have also been forced to live on the road, supporting themselves with short-term jobs
along the way. What makes Nomadland unique is that while Fern is played by an Oscar-winning
actress, nearly all she meets are real people who relate their own experiences. Written and directed
by Chloe Zhao, the film is a combination of documentary and fiction.
The Croods: A New Age
The prehistoric family from 2013,s hugely enjoyable cartoon, The Croods, directed by Joel
Crawford, makes a welcome return, so we can expect more crazy adventures and unusual animals. In
the much-delayed sequel （续集），they meet another family, the Bettermans, whose advanced
lifestyle and technology make the Croods look even more primitive than they did already. There's
conflict but they learn to appreciate each other's differences.
Wolfwalkers
The year's finest cartoon film comes from Cartoon Saloon, an Irish studio specialising in
stylised hand-drawn 2D art. Its latest production is set in the mid-17th Century, when English
soldiers are trying to occupy the wild woods. One hunter's daughter meets with a girl wolfwalker and
they make joint efforts to rescue the forest. It's a heartwarming story of friendship and an inspiring
adventure about two girls finding themselves. Wolfwalkers stands proud as a new classic.

Most teenagers are still trying to find their passion and purposes in life. However, not Gitanjali
Rao. The 15-year-old girl has been coming up with innovative solutions to worldwide problems
since she was ten. It is, therefore, not surprising that the teenager has won the honor of “America's
Top Young Scientist”.
In the third grade, Rao was inspired to build a device after witnessing the shocking story unfold
in Flint, Michigan, where cost-cutting measures led to the use of a polluted river as the city's primary
water supply and incredibly high levels of lead made their way into people's drinking water.
After two months' research, Rao designed a small and portable device that used sensors to
instantly detect lead in water. Called Tethys, after the Greek Goddess （女神）of freshwater, it
attaches to a cellphone and informs the residents via an app if their drinking water contains lead. The
design earned her the 3M Young Scientist Challenge in 2017. She is currently working with
scientists and medical professionals to test Tethys' potential and hopes the device will be ready for
commercial use by 2022.
Later, Rao took on another social issue - drug addiction. Her app, called Epione, which won the
Health Pillar Prize at the TCS Ignite Innovation Student Challenge in May 2019, is designed to catch
drug addiction in young adults before it's too late.
More recently, the teenager has developed an app named Kindly, which uses artificial
intelligence technology to detect possible signs of cyberbullying （网上欺凌）.When users type in a
word or phrase. Kindly is able to pick it up if it's bullying, and then it gives the option to edit it or
send it the way it is. It gives them the chance to rethink what they are saying so that they know what
to do next time.
All kinds of awesome, Gitanjali Rao has been selected from 5,000 equally impressive nominees
（被提名人）for TIME Magazine's first-ever "Kid of the Year”.
4. What gave Rao the idea of inventing the device Tethys?
A. The incident of lead pollution.
B. The issue with drug addiction.
C. The shortage of water supplies.
D. The high cost of purifying water.
5. What is Rao expecting of Tethys?
A. It'll remove metal from water.
B. It'll make it to market soon.
C. It'll win her a higher prize.
D. It'll be fitted to cellphones.
6. What will Kindly allow users to do?
A. Receive pre-warning signals of threat.
B. Input words into a computer automatically.
C. Choose from secure social networking sites.
D. Weigh their words before posting them online.
7. Which of the following can best describe Gitanjali Rao as a young scientist?
A. Ambitious and humble. B. Optimistic and adventurous.
C. Talkative and outstanding. D. Creative and productive.
C
One in five children starting primary school in the UK are overweight. By the time they leave
school, that figure will rise to one in three. The chance of them being overweight in adulthood,
which brings a range of associated health risks, is high, at 50-75%.
The root cause of diet-related fatness is no secret: an energy imbalance between the quantity of
food being consumed and the level of physical activity being conducted. Addressing this imbalance
needs to be, in part, a review of our diet. More fresh ingredients （原料）especially fruit and
vegetables, less processed foods and fewer additives （添加剂） are all important factors in building
a balanced diet.
The Department of Health has recognized that a collective approach, rather than just individual
behavior change, is a successful way of achieving this. Universal adjustments like a blanket decrease
in sugar content influence the way we eat through the choices available to us.
Applying this approach to school kitchens makes sense. They have an important role to play in
maintaining healthy diets. Offering a school menu packed with fresh ingredients and without
artificial additives makes a direct and effective impact on what children eat at school.
It's an area the Soil Association consistently works to handle through its Food for Life program
— working with schools to transform food culture, improve food education and encourage lasting
changes to the way schools think about food. It works. In Food for Life schools, pupils are a third
less likely to eat no fruit or vegetables than those in comparison schools.
One way for schools to get involved is a Food for Life Served Here award, which means at least
75% of dishes are prepared on site using fresh ingredients. It encourages local seasonal produce and,
at silver or gold level, requires a commitment to environmentally friendly produce. At its heart, the
award is designed to support health and enhance food understanding.
Over 50% of English primary schools have such an award already, serving around 1.7 million
meals each day to over 10,000 schools and it's a figure we'll see grow.
8. What does the underlined word “addressing" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Tackling. B. Ignoring. C. Maintaining. D. Postponing.
9. Which approach will work for students to build a balanced diet?
A. Stopping them eating alone in schools.
B. Getting them aware of the harm of fatness.
C. Ensuring healthy recipes on school menus.
D. Increasing the availability and flavor of food.
10. What can we say about the Food for Life program?
A. It's a heavy load on schools.
B. It's complicated to operate.
C. It's a temporary project.
D. It's a fruitful attempt.
11. Which type of food may the Food for Life Served Here award promote?
A. Sugary snacks.
B. First-class sausages.
C. High-quality imported beef.
D. Freshly picked organic beans.
D
The flight of butterflies has so far been somewhat of a secret to researchers, given their
unusually large and broad wings relative to their body size. Now researchers at Lund University in
Sweden have studied the aerodynamics （空气动力）of butterflies in the wind tunnel （风洞）. The
results suggest that butterflies use a highly helpfi.il clap technique, therefore making use of their
unique wings. This helps them rapidly take off when escaping natural enemies.
The researchers studied the wingbeats of freely flying butterflies during takeoff in the wind
tunnel. During the upward process, the wings cup, creating an air-filled pocket between them. When
the wings strike each other, the air is forced out, resulting in a backward strong stream of air that
pushes the butterflies forward. The downward wingbeat has another function: the butterflies stay in
the air and do not fall to the ground.
The wings' striking was described by researchers almost 50 years ago, but it is only in this study
that the theory has been tested on real butterflies in free flight. Until now, it has been generally
believed that butterfly wings are aerodynamically inefficient. However, the researchers suggest that
the opposite is actually true.
“That the wings are cupped when butterflies clap them together, makes the wing clap much
more effective. It is an elegant mechanism that is far more advanced than we imagined, and it is
fascinating, says biology researcher Per Henningsson, who studied the butterflies' aerodynamics.
"The results of the study could help inspire improved performance and flight technology in small
unmanned aircraft," he continues.
In addition to studying the butterflies, the researchers designed mechanical wings that are
modeled on real ones. The shape and flexibility of the mechanical wings as they are cupped and
folded confirm the efficiency. Their measurements show that the pushing force created by the
flexible wings is 22 percent higher and the efficiency 28 percent better compared to if the wings had
been rigid.
12. What does the researchers' study focus on?
A. The butterfly's body size.
B. The butterfly's flying principle.
C. The butterfly's escape technique.
D. The butterfly's frequency of wingbeats.
13. For what purpose do butterfly wings strike?
A. To empty the air pocket for forward force.
B. To release their additional energy.
C. To circle steadily in the air.
D. To form an air pocket.
14. Why were the mechanical wings made?
A. They might draw public attention.
B. They could be used to test the findings.
C. They'd show results in line with popular belief.
D. They helped avoid experimenting on live butterflies.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. New Discoveries Are Made Based on Aerodynamics
B. Flexible Wings Boost Plane Making Industry
C. Butterfly Wing Clap Explains Secret of Flight
D. Butterfly Adapts Itself to the Wild Survival

Earth Hour is organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature. It's a big event usually at the end
of March every year. On this evening, people “go dark”. 16
It's true that turning off lights for just one hour saves only a small amount of power. _17
On one level joining in Earth Hour makes people think about the problem of climate change and
what we can do in everyday life to protect nature.
But on another level, a large number of people's acting together sends a powerful message to
governments and companies. 18 They begin considering green issues when making big
decisions.
The logo （标识）of Earth Hour is "60+”. The number 60 is for the 60 minutes of Earth Hour.
19 In fact, people who join in Earth Hour say that taking part makes them want to do more for
the environment.
20 Musicians give concerts by playing acoustic （原声的）instruments instead of electric
ones, and using candles instead of electric lights. Celebrity chefs have created special recipes for
families to prepare and eat by candlelight. Tree-planting sessions, group walks and runs are also
among the options.
A. But this is only the beginning.
B. Earth Hour represents every hour of every day.
C. After all, everyone has to answer for what they have done.
D. Besides turning off the lights, people get involved in other events.
E. It pushes them to take urgent measures by making changes to policies.
F. That is, they switch off all unnecessary lights at the same time for one hour.
G. The plus invites people to continue their action even after Earth Hour is finished.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a Saturday in June, 1988. Out of a 16-year-old's early summer boredom, I had set up a
tent in our rural yard and intended to sleep in it, but I stayed in the house to finish watching the
Lakers' play-off game. It was almost midnight and Dad had been asleep upstairs for hours when
someone knocked at the front door. It never occurred to me not to answer it.
To my surprise, it was a girl about my age with a bloody cut on her forehead. "Hi, I’m Maria.
What's wrong with you?" I asked her with concern. Awkward and embarrassed, she replied: "I'm
Jane. I...” she hesitated and then asked me carefully, "May I stay here for the night? I'll be off
tomorrow morning." Seeing her uneasiness, I comforted her, “Take it easy, Jane. Stay with me
tonight." I invited her into the house.
Looking around, Jane appeared to have calmed down. "Let me treat your injury first, I said and
she agreed.
I cleansed and bandaged （包扎）her injured forehead and then gave her some bread and bacon
to eat. "Want to sleep in my tent?" I asked her and she nodded. Having left her in the bathroom, I
went to look for another sleeping bag. When I returned, Jane was seated on the sofa, her face
clouded by sadness.
Walking across the dark yard, I accompanied Jane into the tent. We lay down side by side.
Seized by curiosity and concern, I constantly turned over, wondering what had happened to her and
how she came here. Jane seemed to have sensed that and started to speak.
Jane's father died of cancer years before. Her mother did odd cleaning jobs to raise her. Money
was tight but her mother tried to do what she could to satisfy Jane. Several weeks before, Jane
accidentally saw a fancy white dress in the store window, which she fell in love with at first sight.
She excitedly told her mother about that, who promised to buy it as her birthday gift. From then on,
Jane was looking forward to it.

Dear Jack,
Knowing that you’re interested in our school’s Innovative Lantern Show, I’m writing to share
something about it.
Last Saturday evening, hundreds of lighted lanterns, all of which were students’ self-made
works, were hanging between the trees on our campus, getting viewers into a fantastic world.
Additionally, the variously shaped lanterns were all made of recycled waste such as plastic bottles or
cardboard, serving as a reminder for us to protect the environment.
The impressive show amazed everyone present. It inspired us to add innovation to our
traditional lantern culture, promote our creativity and boost our hands-on skills.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
Jane's 16th birthday came but her mother didn't get home until the evening.
Having told her story, Jane said she regretted being inconsiderate to her mom.
第二节 （满分 25 分） (One possible version)
Jane’s 16th birthday came but her mother didn’t get home until the evening. Thirsty for
the dress, Jane got extremely disappointed when seeing her mother back empty-handed. She stormed
out before her mother could stop her. Jane walked angrily and aimlessly only to find herself in an
unknown place hours later. Worse still, she fell down in the dark, hurting her forehead. Painful and
hungry, she came to realize she shouldn’t have been so willful, but there was nobody around she
could turn to for help. So she had to move on until she saw the light from our house.
Having told her story, Jane said she regretted being inconsiderate to her mom. I kept
comforting her until we fell asleep. When Dad awoke us and was told the whole story the next
morning, he said to Jane seriously, “It’s dangerous to run away from home. Your mom must be
anxious about your safety. I’ll drive you home immediately.” After an hour’s ride, we reached Jane’s
home, in front of which stood a worried woman. Jane rushed over and hugged her tightly, saying
tearfully, “Sorry, Mom.” Witnessing this, Dad and I breathed a sigh of relief.
