Though being a superhero film, it is the most unique: you will see the first female superhero starred by Gal Gadot. On general release from 1 June.‎ The Mummy Tom Cruise awakens an ancient princess who has now become a mummy. Cruise jumps from the sky, runs around a lot and wakes up naked in a sleeping bag – but it’s Sofia Boutella as the Mummy who draws the most attention. Director Alex Kurtzman speaks highly of Sofia Boutella as the Mummy: “If you look at her eyes, there's a whole performance going on here. Even not saying anything, she can convey something very emotional to me.” On general release from 8 June.‎ Baby Driver Ansel Elgort is a getaway driver, who is forced to work for a crime boss. This is a comedy-action-romance from British writer-director Edgar Wright. The sound in the film is as great as the visuals, which makes it much like a musical, but it is quite different from La La Land. Baby Driver isn’t just a series of song pieces. Instead, it finds its form in the elegant, rapid-fire combination of movement and sound. Released 28 June in Canada and the US.‎ A Man Called Ove This film has become one of Sweden’s most popular comedies. In the film a lonely retiree who has given up on life, was trying to kill himself, but all his attempts failed. Meanwhile, he developed an unlikely friendship with his Persian neighbor. It is really a tearjerker (赚人热泪的) film, which is funny, tragic, and heartwarming as well. Released 25 May in Hong Kong, 30 June in the UK.‎ ‎21. If you are a big fan of Batman and Superman, which film will you like best?‎ A. Wonder Woman B. The Mummy C. Baby Driver D. A Man Called Ove ‎22. Alex Kurtzman speaks highly of Sofia Boutella because________.‎ A. her eyes are very beautiful B. she gives an excellent performance ‎ C. she doesn’t say anything as the mummy in the film D. she is a woman with strong emotions ‎23. Which of the following statements is right according to the text?‎ A. Wonder woman is the first female superhero.‎ B. Sofia Boutella performs as well as Tom Cruise.‎ C. Baby Driver is a musical like La la Land.‎ D. The audience of A Man Called Ove may experience different feelings.‎ B When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation(住所). I suggested that they should stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.‎ ‎“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”‎ I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought ‘VACANCIES’ meant ‘holidays’, because the Spanish word for ‘holidays” is ‘vacaciones’. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said ‘VACANCIES’, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said ‘NO VACANCIES’, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!‎ We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word ‘DIVERSION’ means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.‎ ‎  English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said ‘Thank you’ in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that ‘Thank you’ in French means ‘No, thank you.’‎ ‎24. My Spanish friends wanted advice about ________.‎ A. driving their car on English roads B. going to England by car C. finding places to stay in England       D. learning English ‎25. I suggested that they stay at bed and breakfast houses because ________.‎ A. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels B. it would be convenient for them to have dinner C. they would be able to practice their English ‎ D. there would be no problem about finding accommodation there ‎26. “NO VACANCIES” in English means ________.‎ A. free rooms      B. no free rooms   C. not away on holiday   D. holidays ‎27. When someone offered me more coffee and I said ‘Thank you’ in French, I ________.‎ A. wanted them to take the coffee pot away    ‎ B. didn’t really want any more coffee  ‎ C. wanted to express my politeness ‎ D. really wanted some more coffee ‎ C When temperatures are high, walking on hot roadways, parking lots, and other paved surfaces can really burn your feet. All of that heat comes from the energy of the sun reacting with the pavement. But what if we could turn that energy into electricity? It may sound like a crazy science dream, but an electrical engineer and his wife may have found a way to do just that.‎ Scott Brusaw has developed a six-sided glass panel  (面板) that contains solar cells, which can change sunlight into electricity. The panels fit together and can form a flat surface on the ground. Brusaw and his wife, Julie, founded a company called Solar Roadways to further develop the idea and produce these new solar panels. They plan to use their invention to replace the pavement on U.S. roads.‎ According to the Brusaws, if we replaced all of the nation’s asphalt (沥青) with these solar panels, the network would produce more than three times the amount of electricity currently used by the United States in a year. In return, electricity from solar panels doesn’t produce harmful pollution, so the panels could be a smart choice for the environment.‎ The U.S. government sees some promise in the Solar Roadways project. A number of laboratories around the country have tested the panels to see if they can withstand (经受)  the heavy traffic and rough weather that asphalt pavement suffers from year to year. The lab results show that not only do the panels meet the requirements, but they can actually handle more weight than they need to.‎ Now, money must be raised to start building the panel pavement system. The Brusaws have raised more than $1 million from ordinary people who learned about their project. However, some experts predict the Brusaws’ plan could finally cost more than $1 trillion.‎ Could Solar Roadways be the answer to the world’s ever-growing need for electricity? A lot of obstacles (阻碍) stand in the way of re-creating the highway system out of solar panels. But the Brusaws may just be paving a road to the future.‎ ‎28. The glass panel the Brusaws have developed _____.‎ A. is too heavy to carry B. has a high temperature C. is powered by an engine D. is environmentally-friendly ‎29. What’s the U.S. government’s attitude towards the Brusaws’ plan now?‎ A. Worried.   B. Doubtful. C. Interested.   D. Supportive.‎ ‎30. What does the underlined part “their project” in Paragraph 5 refer to?‎ A. Replacing asphalt roads with solar panels.‎ B. Designing more money-saving solar panels.‎ C. Testing the solar panels the Brusaws invented.‎ D. Reducing the ever-growing need for electricity.‎ ‎31. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Advantages of sunlight B. Better choice for your feet C. Power from the streets D. Finding more future energy D Most people will recognize Bill Clinton, ex-president of the United States. Bill Clinton is a very popular speech giver and regularly gives talks all over the world, to many different audiences. He is so effective at giving talks because he has a special quality which we call “charisma (魅力)”.‎ Nowadays,  psychologists  (心理学家)  are becoming very interested in charisma and want to describe its meaning in a better way. People often misunderstand what charisma is and think of it as a kind of fame, but it is not the same as fame. Charisma is a kind of magic and is relatively rare. A well-known American psychologist thinks that charismatic people are basically excellent communicators. However, they have other qualities such as self-confidence, eloquence (口才) and vision.‎ Charismatic personalities are able to draw people to them, and people feel happy in their company. There is a sense of “togetherness” when a charismatic person is with other people. A good example of this ability, some say, is the famous American, Oprah Winfrey. She is a highly-successful businesswoman and is probably best known as the presenter of a very popular talk show. Oprah is able to relate to audiences at her shows and they respond well to her. Her charismatic personality has made her one of the richest women in the world. She owns several houses and publishes her own magazines. Presently, she is presenting a new series of the Oprah Winfrey Show. She also runs a book club, which influences the nation’s reading habits and may be one of the reasons why people are reading more these days in the USA.‎ A woman who had extraordinary charisma was the film star, Marilyn Monroe. A beautiful woman and a talented (有天赋的) actress, she was always the centre of attention wherever she went.‎ Unlike fame, charisma doesn’t disappear over time. Even now, more than fifty years after her death, when young people see Monroe in her films, her charisma seems as fresh and powerful as ever.‎ ‎32. Bill Clinton is good at giving talks because _____.‎ A. he has a quality called charisma B. he was once president of the USA C. he has many fans that support him D. he is well-known all over the world ‎33. According to the text, charismatic people _____.‎ A. are all effective speech makers B. can easily attract and interest people C. are all confident and successful D. often try to create a calm atmosphere ‎34. What do we know about Oprah Winfrey?‎ A. She writes books to influence Americans’ reading habits.‎ B. She often gives talks to American young people.‎ C. She has a happy relationship with her audiences.‎ D. She is most famous as a magazine publisher. ‎ ‎35. The author mentions the popularity of Marilyn Monroe to show that _____.‎ A. Monroe is an extraordinarily talented actress B. famous people always have charisma C. fame is as important as charisma D. charisma doesn’t become weaker over time 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。‎ Dealing with someone who blames you for everything It’s no fun being on the receiving end of constant accusations. Being blamed for things not your fault or not your intention can create feelings of anger. _____36_____ To prevent that happening, it’s best for you to deal with the situation in a mature and positive way.‎ ‎_____37____ putting yourself in the other person’s shoes may help you find out the problem. He may be placing blame on you because he wants to reduce any hard feelings on himself by making you responsible instead.‎ ‎_____38____ in that case, the blamer will know that you value yourself and believe that you deserve respect. In asking for the respect you deserve, be confident but not aggressive, so you can keep some peace in the relationship.‎ Focus on what he’s really saying, not how he’s saying it. He may have a point about something you need to take responsibility for. ____39_____ If you want to save the relationship, try to be the bigger person, ignore his negative attitude and focus on what he is really saying.‎ Take full responsibility for your own feelings and know that you aren’t responsible for how others feel. ____40_____ If the blamer accuses you of making him sad, angry or upset, remember that you aren’t responsible for his feelings, especially if you feel you haven’t intended to hurt him.‎ A.
