Movie theaters around the world have closed during the coronavirus outbreak. Fortunately, there’s never been a better time to catch up on classic movies. Below, read our picks for the best travel movies: Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) It’s one of the most satisfying films of director Wes Anderson’s works. Set in an imaginary country East European Republic of Zubrowka in the 1930s, the plot is centered on a murder case filled with stolen art and prison escapes. Though the hotel doesn’t actually exist, much of the film was shot in the beautiful German town of Goerlitz, famous for its medieval streets. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001) When Harry Potter runs through a column at King’s Cross railway station in London to get to Platform 9¾, we know it isn’t real. And yet we want to visit. The movie’s locations are inspired by real places, as graduates of English private schools will tell you. Roman Holiday (1953) Equal parts bittersweet and fascinating, 1953 fairy tale “Roman Holiday” features a princess (Audrey Hepburn) and a newspaperman (Gregory Peck) in a romantic film that has them wandering the Spanish Steps and breaking into the streets of Rome on a Vespa. In a time when those streets are quiet, the film might serve as a reminder that they will eventually spring to life again. 【1】What do Grand Budapest Hotel and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone have in common? A.They were directed by Wes Anderson. B.They were set in an imaginary place. C.They were shown on the screen in the same year. D.They were shot on medieval streets. 【2】Which type does Roman Holiday belong to? A.Action movie. B.Cartoon. C.Romantic movie. D.Documentary. 【3】What’s the passage written for? A.Students. B.Film lovers. C.Directors. D.Doctors. |

Do you like running enough to make it a habit? Tierney Wolfgram does; she has made running a lifelong career and isn't stopping. In February, the 16-year-old from a high school, US, competed at the 2020 US Olympic Trials. She finished the marathon(42.195 km)with a time of 2:42:47 as the youngest competitor in the race and ranked 76th out of 390 runners. However, the cross-country(越野的)season was postponed to winter because of the COVID-19. So she jumped at the opportunity to train for another race-the Parkway Marathon in California. In November, Wolfgram broke the Women's American Junior marathon record with her time of 2:31:49. The old record was 2:34:32, which had stood since 1984. “I'm completely stunned, ”said Wolfgram's coach. “I knew she was going to break it, but she really showed out！” During the run, Wolfgram once hit a wall pretty hard, but she overcame it to finish. “I guess I can say I gave it my all, ”she told Runner's World. “When I finished, all I was thinking was I felt super happy,” Wolfgram said This was only her third marathon. In 2018, when Wolfgram was 15 years old, she ran her first marathon just because she wanted to see if she had the ability to do it. “I believed that I would get faster as the distances got longer. . . I'm still glad that I did it. ” When preparing for that first marathon, she ran up to 120 miles per week. Although her parents didn't have any background in running, they helped Wolfgram train. At first, her dad would take her out in the morning and run about 13 miles. The distance would gradually increase each day. On top of her runs in the morning, she would do cross-country practice after school. Now Wolfgram will consider attending the Olympics Games in 2024 after it's scheduled. 【1】What can we learn about Wolfgram from Paragraph 2? A.She was the champion at the 2020 US Olympic Trials. B.She put off the cross-country season for the COVID-19. C.She broke an Olympic marathon record in November. D.She prepared for the Parkway Marathon in California. 【2】What does the underlined word “stunned”in paragraph 3 refer to? A.Doubtful B.Worried. C.Shocked. D.Interested 【3】What inspired Wolfgram to run her first marathon? A.Her parents' encouragement. B.Her desire to prove she could do it. C.Her coach's support and help. D.Her hope to break the national record 【4】Which section of a newspaper does the passage probably come from? A.Sports. B.Lifestyle C.Culture. D.Opinion |

There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington D.C. has the National Gallery of Art (美术馆); Paris has the Louvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings. FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don’t have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone. You can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically (采用电子手段) by artists in their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings. Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work. A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs (软盘), to others to see on their computers. He could also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures in paper, the computer artist needed an expensive laser (激光) printer. Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr. Shostak says the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists will enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum. 【1】To see the art in FIU museum, your special needs include___________. A.floppy discs B.a computer and a printer C.pictures and drawings on paper D.a computer connected to the museum by telephone line 【2】What are stored in this museum? A.Paintings drawn by means of computer. B.Different styles of paintings. C.Drawings done by art students of FIU. D.Old paintings 【3】The museum was started when____________. A.Robert Shostak wanted to do something for computer scientists B.Robert Shostak wanted to help computer artists C.art students needed a place to show their works D.computer scientists wanted to do something about art 【4】The main purpose of this text is to give information about____________. A.famous museums through the world B.a computer art museum in Miami, U.S.A. C.art exhibitions in Florida International University D.the latest development in computer art |

A musical, School of Rock, which is played at the Winter Garden Theatre, is based on the 2003 hit movie starring Jack Black and opens on Broadway. “The central message of the story,” the show’s composer, Andrew Lloyd Webber, said recently, “is about the driving force of music.” Lloyd Webber, who is behind such Broadway hits as Phantom of the Opera and Cats, runs a music education foundation. He is allowing schools to license the musical while it’s still on Broadway. School of Rock tells the story of Dewey Finn, an ambitious rock star played by Alex Brightman. When Finn’s musical career hits a dead end, he gets a job as a teacher. While in the classroom, he encourages his fifth graders to form a rock band. All of the actors play their own instruments during the performance. “If you say that you can do it, and you work hard enough, then you can do it.” said Evie Dolan, who learned to play bass for the role of Katie. While the musical is very similar to the movie, lyricist Glenn Slater added new songs, including You’re in the Band and Stick It to the Man. “I really love You’re in the Band,” said the musical’s director, Laurence Connor, “I love that moment when the audience sees the children pick up their instruments for the first time and really play, and find rock music for the first time.” Bobby Mackenzie, who plays Tomika, said that the experience of expressing herself through music has been a pleasing one. When asked what advice she has for ambitious musicians, she said, “If it is really what you want to do, go for it. Work as hard as you can.” 【1】What does the underlined part “hits a dead end” in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Get started. B.Looks to be over. C.Goes further. D.Makes a small change. 【2】Who is Alex Brightman? A.A rock star. B.A teacher. C.An actor of the musical. D.Director of the film. 【3】What’s Bobbie’s suggestion for kids who long to be musicians? A.Attending a musical school. B.Joining a band. C.Working hard. D.Watching the musical. 【4】What does the passage mainly talk about? A.The characters of School of Rock. B.An introduction to School of Rock. C.The plot of School of Rock.
