I love myself, just like the bloomy rose waiting to flourish even in the desert," Leslie Cheung sang in one of his musical masterpieces I. Cheung has released many popular albums and is considered one of the founding fathers of Canto pop music.However, there's much more to his superior accomplishments. In the late 1980s, he shifted his career focus to the movie industry and shaped many classic roles that no one can compare even to this day. April 1, 2017 marks the 14th anniversary of this great artist's death because of depression. Since his passing, his admirers call him "the elder brother" and have memorialized him in a variety of ways including art exhibitions, movie re-shoots, imitation musical concerts and documentaries. Let's take a closer look at Leslie Cheung's classic film roles as a way to honor our beloved "elder brother". 1. Cheng Dieyi Movie Name: Farewell My Concubine Released Date: January 1, 1993 Movie Review: A fine movie, a true masterpiece. As the only Chinese film awarded the highest prize at the Cannes Film Festival, the Palme d'Or, Farewell My Concubine marks a milestone in the history of Chinese movies, gaining world cheers for the first time. Role Review: Cheng Dieyi is a merciful man in the troubled times as he loves a guy who cannot be loved during that time period. He chooses to die rather than accept the truth. Cheng Dieyi's life ends happily as he died in the arms of the guy he loves, just like the role he has played for thousands of times. 2. Ning Choi-san Movie Name: A Chinese Ghost Story Released Date: July 18, 1987 Movie Review: The action is thrilling, and the love story is surprisingly touching, making this one of the most fascinating and enjoyable fantasies in China. Role Review: Starting as a cowardly scholar but turning into a brave man to fight with evils for his lover. Ning Choi-san defines the romance between the people and the ghost. 3. Yuddy Movie Name: Days of Being Wild Released Date: December 15, 1990 Movie Review: Days of Being Wild successfully describes a small character by how he changes others or is changed by them. The movie ranked third on the "Top 100 Chinese Classic Movies " list by the Hong Kong Film Awards in 2005. Role Review: Yuddy is a playboy in Hong Kong and is well known for stealing girls' hearts and then breaking them. He leads a fast and self-centered life and is confused about the meaning of true love. 4.Ouyang Feng Movie Name: Ashes of Time Released Date: September 17, 1994 Movie Review: "For those who seek metaphors, Ashes of Time presents the eye as well as the illusions of vision. For those who seek battle, Ashes of Time offers intermittent blurs of action, streaks of flying figures, flashing steel, and rare spatters and gouts of moist crimson, all washing across the screen like hurried brush paintings." —— The New York Times Role Review: He is rude yet romantic. He is cold-blooded yet helpful. Leslie Cheung successfully transforms one of the most negative characters Ouyang Feng in modern writing into a figure filled with vivid character. 21. Which of the listed films got the most outstanding achievement worldwide? A. Farewell My Concubine B. A Chinese Ghost Story C. Days of Being D. Wild Ashes of Time 22. Which role has the most various characteristic? A. Cheng Dieyi B. Ning Choi-san C. Yuddy D. Ouyang Feng 23. The passage is intended to ________. A. show Leslie Cheung’s acting talent B. introduce some of Leslie Cheung’s famous films C. be in memory of the late superstar D. persuade us to go the movies more frequently B Steven Williams, an American father of 14-year-old Peter who has autism, searched on the Internet to find a specific kind of little blue cup for his son. When Peter was two, Steven gave him a little blue cup that was made in China and ever since the cup has become one of the most important things in Peter's life. Steven never thought that the little cup would cause such a big problem. Peter became dependent on this cup because ever since he received the gift he would only drink water from the exact type of little blue cup. Over 12 years, Peter refused to drink water without the cup. Steven was worried about this because their current cup could break soon and he needed to find a replacement for his son to drink with. The problem was that the cup was no longer being produced. Steven tried to take Peter to a doctor to solve the cup problem, but it was of no use. So Steven decided to seek help from the public on Twitter. He got a lot of responses and the enthusiasm people from all over the world showed gave him confidence and hope. Many strangers found their identical cup and offered to send them to Peter. Though Steven received a lot of help, he still was concerned. All the cups he received would eventually break. As time passed, it would be even harder to find the same cups. The situation took a surprising turn when the baby products company Tommee Tippee UK got in touch with Steven. They sent a team to China, and they found the same exact model for the cup in the factory that first made it. The company and the Chinese factory decided to make as many as 500 cups for Peter, and Steven was thrilled about all this. 24．What would happen to Peter without the cup? A．He would feel sad. B．He would break other cups. C．He would quit drinking water. D．He would suffer from autism. 25．Where did Steven decide to seek help? A．From a social network. B．From an American company. C．From a team of researchers. D．From a Chinese factory. 26．What does the underlined word "identical" in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Exactly alike. B．Nearly broken. C．Of good quality. D. Of different size. 27．What is the best title for the text? A．Enthusiastic people Gave Cups to Peter B．American Boy Preferred Chinese Cup C．Concerned Father Sought Medical Treatment for Peter D．Chinese Factory Helped American Boy Get Favorite Cup C It’s a common phenomenon that modern people now have difficulty sleeping. Drinking milk is thought to be helpful. A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night. Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin, which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety. The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night. Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food. Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer. While the effect of cows’ milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night. Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax. Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night. 28. According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_________. A. started sleep more easily B. were more anxious C. were less active D. sleep longer 29. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text? A. It’s been tested on mice for ten times B. It can make people more energetic C. It exists in milk in great amount D. It’s used in sleeping drugs 30. What can be a suitable title for the next? A. Night Milk and Sleep B. Milk and Melatonin C. Little Fat in Milk D. Milk Drinking and Health 31. How does the author support the theme of the text? A. By giving examples B. By stating arguments C. By explaining statistical data D. By providing research results D China announced on April 1st it would establish the Xiongan New Area in Hebei province, as part of vital measures to advance the development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. This is a further new area of national significance after the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and the Shanghai Pudong New Area. The new zone, located about 100 kilometers south of Beijing, will house the offices and facilities that are not related to the capital, and thus replace some of Beijing's "non-capital functions". It will also create a new model of bettered development in densely populated areas and restructure the urban pattern of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The move is a "major historic and strategic choice made by the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core." The New Area will cover around 100 square km initially and will be expanded to 200 square km in the mid-term and about 2,000 square km in the long-term. President Xi Jinping has said priority should be given to developing an area to pool non-capital functions that will be shifted from Beijing. He has ordered that a modern urban district should be built at a suitable location in Hebei, guided by new development concepts, "world vision, international standards, Chinese characteristics and high goals". He called for efforts to build Xiongan into "a demonstration area for innovative development." The area should prioritize ecological protection, improve people's well-being as well as protect and carry forward Chinese traditional culture, he said. The removal of functions not related to the capital from Beijing is part of a greater strategy to adjust the development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei for a better economic structure, cleaner environment and improved public services. 32. Where is the passage probably from? A. news report B. travel brochure C. science fiction D. investment assessment 33. Which of the following is true? A. Some of the official units in Beijing will move to Xiongan New Area. B. Compared with capital, Xiongan will be built with a smaller population. C. The construction of Xiongan New Area is a gradual process. D. It is a step of minor significance for China to build up Xiongan New Area. 34. As a demonstration area, which of the following is not an aspect to display innovative development? A. environmental protection B. bettered economic pattern C. inherited Chinese culture D. advanced office facilities 35. What’s the main purpose of construction of Xiongan New Area? A. to make Hebei province more financially capable than Shanghai and Shenzhen. B. to make Xiongan more environmentally suitable for local people to live. C. to make economic pattern and structure in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region better. D. to make Beijing replaced by Xiongan to exert capital functions to the fullest. 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。其中有两项为 多余选项。 The Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher, known as the Iron Lady, was one of the toughest political women in the world.

Some are poor in Math, while some doing badly in English. And there’s a misunderstanding between parents and students that students don’t study hardly in school. However, the real case is what students do try to learn every subject well. But it’s too difficult to learn all subject well. For students and parents, get into a quarrel is a common case in daily life. Therefore, a good and quiet communication is essentially needed. Parents should not really appreciate students’ hard work in study and approve it’s realistic for every student to get 145 in Math or English.
