It looks like 2017 is shaping up to be a record-breaking year in movie History. Here is a list of some of the year’s biggest blockbusters so far.
Kong: Skull Island
A reboot (重启) of King Kong would normally get laughed at in this day and age, but it looks like this modem version of the story will be worth watching. With US actress Brie Larson and UK actor Tom Hiddleston in the mix, this film is set to be this year’s biggest monster tale.
Release Date:3/10/17
Beauty and the Beast
Director Bill Condon is bringing back a part of our childhood in live action, complete with the songs we all remember and love. With British stars Emma Watson and Dan Stevens leading thecast, the classic Walt Disney story already sounds like it’ll be a delight for both children and adults.
Release Date:3/17/17
The Fate of the Furious
There was doubt that we’d even get a Fast 8, especially after the fitting ending US actor Paul Walker’s character was given at the end of Furious 7. Fans thought they’d never see Dom and the rest of the crew back in action, but thankfully, US star Vin Diesel himself confirmed that The Fate of the Furious is fueling up for another go.
Release Date:4/14/17
Spider-Man: Homecoming
Spider Man is heading home to Marvel Studios for the first time. The movie will show us Peter Parker’s high school days, and will continue the threads we saw formed during his initial appearance in Captain America: Civil War. We know that Michael Keaton is playing The Vulture in this story, and that both Happy Hogan and Tony Stark, played by US actors Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr., are along for the ride.

Jake Oldershaw and his daughter Mollie from Birmingham, Britain have asthma (哮喘). Mollie, 11, has required hospital treatment several times while Jake Says he always finds breathing more difficult when there is heavy traffic. Air quality has an enormous impact on their lives and both noticed a marked improvement during the spring lockdown because of the epidemic (疫情). Jake said, “During lockdown there was a noticeable difference in air quality. I didn't suffer any asthmatic attacks during that period. These days you can feel the effects.”
However, under current COVID-19 restrictions in the UK this winter, many people probably will have to work from home. The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) says while emissions (排放) have dropped this year because we've been travelling less and doing less, the expected use ofgas boilers to provide heating and hot water could rise by more than half.
Heating accounts for nearly 37% of the UK's total carbon emissions. Modelling by the ECIU suggests a 56% increase in boiler usage this winter resulting in a 12% increase in emissions of carbon. The ECIU says that's enough to offset the last two years' worth of progress on reducing traffic emissions.
Jess Ralston, author of the analysis for the ECIU, said, “Working from home and having increased gas use in the home could be really critical for air pollution and also climate change. The way we heat our homes needs to change if we are to get to net zero by 2050.”
Jess Ralston said, “The increase in pollution from gas boilers expected this winter provides a graphic illustration (图解) of their forgotten role in air pollution. And it is a role set to continue without practical policies to decarbonize home heating. ”
The government is set to publish its Heat and Buildings Decarbonisation Strategy in a few weeks which is expected to give details on plans to try to switch British homes to cleaner sources of heat.
4. How did the spring lockdown in the UK affect Jake?
A. He was cured of his asthma.
B. He had to go to hospital for retreatment.
C. He suffered a noticeable difficulty in study.
D. He didn't suffer any asthmatic attacks during that period.
5. What is concerning the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit?
A. The epidemic will become worse.
B. Air pollution will get worse this winter.
C. People may have to work from home longer.
D. There is less energy for gas boilers in winter.
6. What would Jess Ralston agree with?
A. People prefer to work from home in winter.
B. The government failed to protect the environment.
C. People tend to ignore the harmful effect of home heating.
D. The climate has suffered a lot from the epidemic this year.
7. How to improve air quality during winter according to Jess Ralston?
A. A warmer winter season.
B. Less and less gas boilers.
C. Practical plans from the government.
D. Improved awareness of cutting down pollution.
C
Older adults with a better sense of smell may live longer than thosewho have a poor sense of smell, a new study suggests. The study was a project of researchers in theUnited Statesthat was ongoing for over 13 years. They asked nearly 2,300 men and women to identify 12 common smells. All the subjects were from 71 to 82 years of age. The researchers gave the adults scores, from 0 to as high as 12, based on how many smells they identified correctly.
During the years of follow-up investigation, over 1,200 of the subjects died. When the study was launched, none of the adults were weak. They could walk a little under half a kilometer, climb 10 steps and independently
complete daily activities. In the latest findings, the researchers noted that those with a weak nose were 30 percent more likely to die than people with a good sense of smell. The findings were reported last month in the scientific publication Annals of Internal Medicine.
Honglei Chen, a doctor withMichiganStateUniversityinEast Lansing,Michigan, was the lead writer of a report on the study. He said the connection between a poor sense of smell and an increased risk of dying was limited to adults who first reported good-to-excellent health. This suggests that a poor sense of smell is an early and sensitive sign for worsening health before it is recognizable in medical tests. With a poor sense of smell, people are more likely to die of brain and heart diseases, but not of cancer or breathing disorders.
The results also suggest that a poor sense of smell may be an early warning for poor health in older age that goesbeyond dementia or other neurodegenerative(神经变性的) diseases. These often signal the beginning of a weakening of the mind or body.
8. What do you know about the study mentioned?
A. The study involved researchers from the world.
B. All the participants were of different ages.
C. The study began to be performed about 13 years ago.
D. 2 ,300 men and women were young and healthy.
9. What was the situation like at the beginning of the study?
A. More than 1,200 of the participants passed away.
B. Many of the subjects were found with health problems.
C. All the subjects were independent of others when walking.
D. One third of the participants had a poor smell sense.
10. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. People with a poor sense of smell have heart disease.
B. You should be careful with your health if you smell poorly.
C. People with a poor sense of smell won't suffer from cancer.
D. Most of the elder people may have the dementia disease.
11. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Strong Sense of Smell May Be Linked to Longer Life
B. Old People Tend to Have a Poor Sense of Smell
C. A Number of Factors Result in Longer Life
D. Being Ill Means Losing the Sense of Smell
D
There are 8.8 million blind people in India. In fact, there are 36 million blind people worldwide and a quarter of them are in India; however, many cases of blindness in India are curable. The poor in India have limited access to primary eye healthcare and often do not eat foods rich in micronutrients, like vitamins and minerals, which play an important role in maintaining good eye health.
Many people worldwide are not even aware that they may have a vision (视力) problem simply because they do not get their eyes tested every year with a doctor, who tests for the functioning of the eye muscles (肌肉), as well as common diseases like night blindness. This exam is strongly recommended by experts because some changes in vision, which the patient may take longer to notice, can be found easily in this way.
Certain simple changes in diet and lifestyle can ensure better eye health for you. These include drinking plenty-of water, not smoking, and eating brightly color1 ed and leafy fruit and vegetables. Wearing sunglasses protects your eyes from the sun, which damages otherwise healthy eyes. Learn about your family's eye disease history, and be on the lookout for any problem about your vision. Make sure that you see a doctor immediately for early intervention(干预) if you see any of these signs of worsening eye health.
If you or a loved one needs to cure blindness or other eye diseases, turn to a crowdfunding (众筹) platform. A group of eye health caregivers have fundraised with crowdfunding platform ImpactGuru to raise money to perform operations on the eyes of blind women in south Asia. Running an online fundraiser enables both doctors and patients to find a way out of the dark. If you want eye care to develop, start a fundraiser today.
12. Why are there so many blind people in India?
A. There is a lack of eye hospitals in India.
B. People pay no attention to their eyes at all.
C. Poor Indians lack food good for eye health.
D. The environment damages their eyes.
13. What does the author suggest in Paragraph 2?
A. Examining your eyes annually.
B. Strengthening muscles every day.
C. Raising the awareness of physical health.
D. Attaching importance to self-examination.
14. Which of the following may do harm to your eyes?
A. Smoking a lot.
B. Wearing sunglasses.
C. Drinking much water.
D. Watching brightly-color1 ed pictures.
15. What does the author want to show in the last paragraph?
A. How to start a fundraiser online.
B. The importance of raising money.
C. The role of crowdfunding in eye care.
D. What should bedone to raise money.

52.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。

续写的词数应为150左右。

“Okay,” said our teacher, Mrs. Woodland:“It's time for the gift exchange.” I wasactually a little excited. I knew what a lot of the girls had brought, and any of those giftswould be great, especially my best friend Sara's. She had made some candy and put it inthis super cute bear mug(马克杯).
Mrs. Woodland had us put our gifts on ourclassroom table. Then we opened the giftslike a game. We each drew numbers and we got to the table and chose a wrapped(包装好的)gift when our number was called. But we didn't necessarily have to. We could take a giftfrom somebody else that had already hadtheir number called-if we thought we'd like thatgift better than the wrapped ones.
When it was my turn, I didn't take a wrapped gift from the table. And I didn't takeSara's either though I really wanted to.I took the perfume(香水)Megan had broughtinstead. I didn't have enough money to get Mom something special, but the perfume wasreally nice. She might really like it.
I was busy thinking about the perfume and whether Mom would like it or not whenthere was a big commotion(嘈杂).It had been Hannah's turn to choose. She was the lastone. And unsurprisingly, she didn't go for
the last wrapped gift on the table. Instead, she'dtaken Sara's gift from Lauren. Well,that meant Lauren had to take the wrapped gift. Shelooked a little upset when she got to the table. Everyone knew the last gift was from Kali.That was why no one had chosen it. Kali was really poor. And she always brought gifts thatno one ever wanted. This time,she brought a pair of old-fashioned crocheted potholders(编织的防烫套垫)！
＂I don't want these,"Lauren whined(哀怨）。

“I want my candy back.”
＂No way,"Hannah protested,keeping the mug of chocolate out of Lauren's reach.
“Then I want Megan's perfume."Lauren came over to take my perfume."Come on,Melanie,trade with me."
Paragraph 1:
Mrs. Woodland advised me to trade with Lauren since I had always been kind.
Paragraph 2:
"Here,”I said to my mom after I got home,handing her the potholders."They are an
early New Year gift.”
