In most cases, mice definitely don't appeal to people in real life. But when they appear in films, it will be totally different. Stuart Little in Stuart Little Stuart Little is a 1999 live-action science-fiction comedy adventure film, based on 1945 novel of the same name by E. B. White. Stuart is a mouse but can speak like humans. Despite his little size, the talking white mouse is never afraid to be himself and try big things. Alvin, Simon, and Theodore in Alvin and the Chipmunks Alvin, Simon and Theodore are three mice in Alvin and the Chipmunks, a 2007 American live action musical comedy film. The tree that they live in is cut down and driven to Los Angeles. There, they meet David Seville, a struggling songwriter and composer, who has changed them into a very successful band of singers. Remy in Ratatouille Remy is a highly intelligent and idealistic young rat in the 2007 American computer-animated comedy film Ratatouille. With unusual senses of taste and smell, he dreams of becoming a chef like his idol（偶像）, the late Auguste Gusteau. He befriends Linguini, the garbage boy, in Suguste Gusteau's restaurant and has helped him become a famous cook. He hides under Linguini's hat and guides his movements by pulling on his hair. Totoro in My Neighbor Totoro It is hard to relate the character in the Japanese animation film My Neighbour Totoro to any creature close to a mouse. But the image for Totoro was inspired by something similar to a mouse-chinchilla. The animation film was written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki in 1988. Totoro becomes a friend to many children as well as adults. It always reminds people of the beautiful natural landscape of the countryside. 【1】Which film is adapted from a novel with the same title?

The first thing that Valoy saw when she put on color-blind corrective glasses was green- the vibrancy（活力） of the grass and tree and later, the brilliance of red in stop signs and flowers. Valoy says it's unbelievable and she has struggled with certain topics, especially the painting class in school and she would even paint the ocean purple before that. Valoy wasn't diagnosed with red-green color blindness until the fourth grade. “For the past 17 years, I've lived in a ‘black and white movie’,” the recent Louis E. Dieruff High School graduate says. But not anymore. The transformative moment all started with a public speaking class Valoy took. After she made an informative speech about growing up with her color deficiency（缺陷）, her teacher, Sandy Kile, was inspired to teach the class a more important life lesson. Kile made a suggestion that the class should reach out to companies that produced corrective glasses to see if they would donate a pair to Valoy. While Kile encouraged Valoy to write a description of living in a world with mostly shades of grey and brown, her classmates wrote accompanying statements about why she needed the glasses. “I didn't expect much for that,” Valoy says. “Professor Kile truly believed it was going to happen but we were not sure.” It wasn't so surprising when the first company turned down their request. Then, the class received reply from the founder of Pilestone Inc., offering Valoy and six other community members his glasses for free. “started this business by trying to make some difference to people,” founder Ben Zhuang says. Valoy is grateful to Kile and her classmates for their efforts. But Kile says that she is very glad the students have the chance to realize the significance of lending a hand to those in need, and that being able to aid Valoy in changing her life is something she will never forget the rest of her life. 【1】Why is Valoy's painting class referred to? A.To give an example of Valoy's sufferings. B.To stress Valoy's serious attitude to study. C.To prove the importance of wearing glasses. D.To prevent people from having color blindness. 【2】How did Valoy feel when Kile offered the advice? A.Frightened. B.Excited. C.Uncertain. D.Hopeful. 【3】What do we know about Valoy? A.She made a speech to call for donation. B.She wasn't the only one to get the glasses. C.She only understood black and white movies. D.She didn't know her problem until she was 17. 【4】What did Kile try to teach the class? A.The magic of creativity. B.The power of great efforts. C.The benefit of technology. D.The value of offering help. |

Languages are important. But how they appeared is largely mystery（谜）. It is interesting to see how deaf people can create novel sign languages immediately. Observations have shown that when deaf strangers are brought together in a community, they come up with their own sign language in a considerably short amount of time. However, how exactly this happened has not been recorded, as Manuel Bohn describes, “We know relatively little about how social interaction becomes language. This is where our new study comes in.” In a series of studies, researchers attempted to recreate exactly this process. But there was a problem: how to make children communicate with each other without them returning to talking to each other? The solution came up in Skype conversations between the two researchers from Germany and their colleague Michael Tomasello in the US. In the study, the children were invited to stay in two different rooms and a Skype connection was established between them. After a brief familiarization with the set-up, the researchers turned off the sound and watched as the children found new ways of communicating that go beyond spoken language. The childrens' task was to describe an image with different meanings in coordination（协调）game. With concrete things like fork, children quickly found solution by copying the action（e. g. eating） in a gesture. But the researchers repeatedly challenged the children with new, more abstract pictures. In the course of the study, the images to be described became more and more complex, which was also reflected in the gestures that the children produced. In order to communicate, for example, an interaction between two animals, children invented separate gestures for actors and actions and began to combine them. The studies show that communication cannot be reduced to words alone. When there is no way to use conventional spoken language, people find other ways to get their messages across. This phenomenon forms the basis for the development of new languages. 【1】What is basically unknown to us? A.The origin of languages. B.Normal people's interaction. C.When sign languages are used. D.The importance of languages. 【2】Why did the researchers turn off the sound? A.To make the children think in quiet environment. B.To evaluate the children's potential modeling skills. C.To let the children imagine how the deaf communicate. D.To know how the children communicate without speaking. 【3】What were the children required to do in the experiment? A.Draw pictures of some objects. B.Invent a couple of new words. C.Describe something in their way. D.Express their own true feelings. 【4】From which is the text most probably taken? A.A biology textbook. B.A science magazine. C.A science fiction book. D.A travel brochure. |

The tools scientists use to study hurricanes change constantly. So though research has suggested the warming world would produce stronger hurricanes, it has been difficult to say that with certainty. A new paper, published online on May 18, proves its certainty-studying a period of 39 years, between 1979 and 2017. Normalizing their data in a certain way, the researchers found a clear trend: Storms are getting stronger in general, and major tropical cyclones（热带气旋） are coming more often “The main difficulty we have in finding trends is that the data are collected using the latest technology at the time,” said James Kossin, a University of Wisconsin-Madison professor. “Every year the data are a bit different than last year, and each new satellite has new tools and captures data in different ways, so in the end we have pieces of all the satellite data that have been woven together.” To create a consistent record to work with, the researchers tried something new. They sanded the edges off their newer, sharper tropical cyclone images to fit an older standard: Images where each pixel（ represents an area 5 miles by 5 miles. They also removed images from newer satellites that provide views of storms from angles unavailable in 1998. That left them with an extensive dataset of about 225, 000 similar-quality images of about 4,000 global tropical cyclones. The researchers found that the chances of any given tropical cyclone becoming a hurricane have gone up, and that the likelihoods of major hurricanes have gone up by about 15%-with most of that increase happening in the last 19 years of the 39-year study period. This paper on its own doesn't rule out the idea that the uptick in hurricanes isn't the result of some perfect coincidence of other trends, the researchers wrote. But it shows the increase is happening, precisely during the period of great warming. 【1】What does James Kossin consider as a problem with data collection? A.The lack of high technology. B.The inaccuracy of old satellites. C.The constant change of climate. D.The use of tools of different times. 【2】What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.How to get consistent record. B.How to compare different data. C.How to improve image quality. D.How to make the pixel change. 【3】What does the word “uptick” underlined in the last paragraph probably mean? A.Change. B.Power. C.Rise. D.Danger. 【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.A New Way to Fight Global Warming B.Warming Surely Makes Hurricanes Stronger C.Hurricanes Change Over the Past Years D.A Special Tool of Monitoring Hurricanes |

Misinformation can spread through phone texts and social media as fast as a virus, sometimes even faster. 【1】? Here are some of the most effective steps to identify and stop it. Check the source 【2】. It is why misinformation travels fast on social media, where everyone says they heard it from a friend of a friend. Be careful of such hear-says and refer to such reliable sources as government agencies or trusted newspaper websites before it can be taken seriously. Also, be careful of information from unknown or little-known groups or news organizations. 【3】 Anyone searching for true information needs to act a little like a reporter. Remember there is a difference between news and stories. News should be supported by evidence to be dependable. 【4】. Pictures are said to be worth a thousand words. But even photographs can be edited and changed. Even untouched images can be false. For example, old images can be presented as new. Again, it helps to look for the source. Google's image search can help find where a photo came from. Do not immediately repost what you see A 2018 Twitter study found that false news travels faster than real news, often much faster. That is because these stories often use language designed to create strong emotional reaction. 【5】. It is also found that misinformation spreads quickly because people retweet stories based on headlines So read the whole story, investigate the source and consider carefully before reposting to prevent the spread of false information. A.Act like a journalist B.How to search for true information C.Also be careful that even images can lie D.How can we separate what is true and what is not E.They always seek to connect with public fear or anger F.Emotional reaction plays no part when people post information G.Human nature makes us more likely to believe things our friends tell us |
