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.

Babies who frequently communicate with their caregivers using eye contact and vocalisations(发声)at the age of one are more likely to develop greater languages skills by the time they reachtwo,according to new research.
In the study, researchers looked at 11-and 12-month-od babies' vocalisations. gestures and gaze behaviours ,and at how their caregivers responded to them.To measure he interactions ,the researchers videoed infants(婴儿)and caregiver at home,and asked them to play as usual.They took those recordings back to the university
The scientists then used statistical models to find that the best predictor of vocabulary at 24 months was when infants were seen to use vocalsatioms while looking at their caregiver's face when they were about a year old.The benefits were even greater when these interactions were followed by responses from the caregiver.
The statistics showed that at 19 months,children had an average of about 100 words.Those who exhibited the beneficial interactive behaviour earlier in life were seen to have an average of about 30 extra words.
"The message of this paper is thatitis the result of a joint effort; noticing what your child is attending to and talking to them about it will support their language development." said McGillion, a co-author of the work.
"The joy of this message is that that can happen in any context... across any part of your day.It's not something that requires special equipment or even lots of time.I can happen when you're doing the laundry,for example—when you're taking out the socks, you can talk about socks...in the park, in the car, at mealtimes,at bathtimes.This finding can be used in any context,"added McGillion.
"This is a developmental snapshot in the first year of life, but children are constantly growing and changing
and so are their behaviours. It would be interesting to look at these sorts of behaviours again as children progress through the second year of life to see what's happening there,"said Donnellan,the lead author on the study.
4. How did the researchers get the findings?
A. By interacting with babies.
B. By asking babies to vocalize.
C. By analyzing relevant recordings.
D. By referring to the previous statistics.
5. What does he underlined word "it"in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Infants' eye contact.
B. Infants' larger vocabulary.
C. The response from caregivers.
D. The best predictor of vocabulary.
6. What did McGilion say about infants' interactive behaviour?
A. I's easy to perform.
B. It's complex to understand.
C. It's difficult to copy.
D. It's interesting to video.
7. What might further studies be on?
A. Children's academic progress.
B. Children's growing environment.
C. Children's potential physical development.
D. Children's behaviours across more age ranges.
C
I’ve been putting my passport to good use lately. I use it asa coaster and to level unsteady table legs. It makes an excellent cat toy.
Welcome to the pandemic (疫情) of disappointments. Canceled trips or ones never planned in case they would be canceled. Family reunions, study-abroad years, lazy beach vacations. Poof. Gone. Ruined by a tiny virus, the list of countries where our passports are not welcome is long.
It is not natural for us to be this sedentary (定居的). Travel is in our genes. For most of the time our species has existed, we've lived as nomadic (游牧的) hunter-gatherers. But what if we can't move? What's a traveler to do?
There are ways to answer that question. "Despair," though, is not one of them.
We are an adaptive species. We can tolerate brief periods of forced sedentariness. We pass the days glancing through old travel journals and Instagram posts. We gaze at souvenirs. All this helps. For a while. Then, what hope do we have?
I think hope lies in the very nature of travel. Travel involves wishful thinking. It demands a leap of faith, and of imagination, to board a plane for some faraway, land. Travel is one of the few activities we engage in not knowing the outcome and are drunk in that uncertainty. Nothing is more forgettable than the trip that goes exactly as planned.
That's one reason why I have faith in travel's future. In fact, I'd argue travel is an essential activity. It's not essential the way hospitals and grocery stores are essential. Travel is essential the way books and hugs are essential. Food for the soul. Right now, we're between courses, enjoying where we've been, expecting where we'll go. Maybe it'sZanzibarand maybe it's the campground down the road that you've always wanted to visit.
8. From the first paragraph we learn that the author is _______ .
A. desperate
B. humorous
C. bored
D. worried
9. From the author's perspective, what's the point of travel?
A. To feel hopeful.
B. To make a wish.
C. To take adventures.
D. To broaden horizons.
10. How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By showing evidences.
B. By providing examples.
C. By making comparisons.
D. By interpreting opinions.
11. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Where to go for a trip.
B. Why people need to travel.
C. How to fight the pandemic.
D. What people should do at home.
D
Vietnammade preparations for theLunar New Year with a fish release on Thursday. The tradition involves
releasing fish called carps into rivers and lakes in the country a week before the holiday known as Tet officially begins.
The tradition comes from an ancient story of three “Kitchen Gods”. The three, two males and a female, take a ride on the brightly color1 ed carp at the end of the year. They go to Heaven to meet with the Jade Emperor, the God who rules there. The “Kitchen Gods” report news about the families they represent to seek the emperor's care and protection. Their efforts help to keep the kitchen fires burning, and families happy and healthy.
As the Gods go to Heaven, families clean their houses in preparation to celebrate Tet. A clean house, Vietnamese believe, will bring luck in the new year. On Lunar New Year's Eve, the Gods will return to Earth and their duties in the kitchen of the house.
Thursday's event inVietnamthis year was more controlled than ever before because of COVID-19. It is spreading in several northern areas of the country. However,Vietnamhas increased contact examination, mass testing, and quarantine measures to slow the spread. The aggressive action has limited infections and deaths in the country.
“Vietnamese will still follow the tradition of releasing the fish, but COVID-19 has made people keep a safe distance,” said Tran Van Toi as he released a carp from a plastic bag atHanoi'sWestLake.
This year, due to COVID-19, there were fewer people releasing fish there, but there was a major change in attitude towards plastic bags. After years of persuasion, now they don't throw the plastic bags into the water anymore but collect them to be recycled.
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. Kitchen fires inVietnam.
B. Traditional customs ofVietnam.
C. A report on family activities inVietnam.
D. A tale about Vietnamese Lunar New Year.
13. What's the author's attitude towards theVietnam's actions to control COVID-19?
A. Critical.
B. Positive.
C. Doubtful.
D. Unconcerned.
14. What was the change about fish release inVietnamthis year?
A. It required few lake fish.
B. It was more interesting and diverse.
C. It was more environmentally friendly.
D. It required more people and plastic bags.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Vietnamese Respect Gods During the Festive Time
B. Vietnamese Mark Lunar New Year with Fish Release
C. Vietnamese Lunar New Year Celebrations Are Funny
D. Traditional Lunar New Year Promotes Animal Protection

One day my friend took me to a R.O.K.’s restaurant, where she often visited. I looked at the menu all writing in R.O.K.’s. Since I couldn't read them, I glanced over the pictures and picked out what I want. I ordered the Kimchi Beef with vegetables. It was very spicy food I had never had before. Therefore, I drank my glass of water immediate. I thought the beef was the spicy part, but when I started eating the cabbage, it only got worst! The waitress had refilled in my glass after I knew it and I drank it quickly. Turned around, I could see that the waitresses were having good laugh.

52.阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Effective communication can make you an effective leader and success can come much more easily. It is very important to be a confident and efficient communicator so that others can understand you. However, in order to become an effective communicator, you need to be an effective listener first.
To be a good listener, you need effective listening skills, which will help you.
Understand other peoples' point of view. However, most people generally overlook the skill of listening. Actually, communication is never a complete process if you are only a good speaker without being a good listener. You may be very good at expressing your thoughts effectively. But if you are not good at understanding other people's point of view, it will never be considered effective communication.
Usually, speaking is considered an active process and listening is claimed to be a passive process. Listening, however, is undoubtedly an active process, too. It doesn't just mean sitting in front of someone and staring at their eyes. In order to understand someone better, you need to analyze their thoughts and words. Additionally, you need to show that you are listening. For instance, you can say "I see," "go on" or just nod your head. Of course, in the case of disagreement, you do not necessarily have to do that. You can also ask questions if you have problems understanding that person's perspective. Asking questions will not only improve your listening habits but also make the other person realize that they are being heard.
Too often, we attach great importance to the skill of speaking; however, most of us do not value the skill of listening very highly. Now is the time for you to break the old stereotype（刻板印象）and follow the new trend, which is a contributing factor to effective communication.
