文章主要介绍了五月最值得观看的四部电影。

12. Four of the best films to watch this May
T he Bob’s Burgers M ovie
After 12 seasons and more than 200 episodes, the much-loved animated sitcom finally makes it to the big screen. In the movie, a huge sinkhole opens in the street in front of a fast-food restaurant, so the brave children investigate. The series’ creator promises a “musical comedy mystery adventure” that retains the programme’s warmth and quickfire humour.
Released internationally on 27 May
Doctor Strange in the M ultiverse of M adness
The latest blockbuster (大片) has the Sorcerer Supreme risking beyond our own universe and into countless other realities, where he and Scarlet Witch meet various versions of themselves. The film’s director, Sam Raimi, is best known for The Evil Dead, and the Spider-Man trilogy starring Tobey Maguire, so who better to put horror and superheroes into one film? Raimi told Fandango. “It’s unknown what you’ll find in the multiverse. It’s within that unknown that suspense and darkness exists... Plus, Doctor Strange in the comics has always dealt in universes and dimensions that were quite spooky, so we tried to bring some of that into this film.”
Released internationally on 6 May
T op Gun: M averick
It’s been delayed and delayed and delayed again, but Top Gun: Maverick is flying into cinemas at last, exactly four years after shooting began in May 2018. In the first Top Gun film, which came out back in 1986, Tom Cruise starred as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, a fighter pilot in the US Navy.
What we can expect are lots of supersonic flight sequences, and magazine-worthy shots of Cruise on the runway in his A viator shades. Altogether now: “I feel the need, the need for speed.”
Released internationally on 27 May
Firestarter
Firestarter, a horror film about psychic-powered children, is adapted from Stephen King’s 1980 novel. It’s the story of Charlene, a girl with “pyrokinesis”: whenever she gets upset, things burst into flames. The previous adaptation came out in 1984, with Drew Barrymore in the title role. But the new film’s director, Keith Thomas, believes that there was room for improvement.
Released internationally on 13 May

文章讲述了气候变化已经威胁到世界各地的水稻种植区，并讨论了解决方案。

13. Under a midday summer sun in California’s Sacramento V alley, rice farmer Peter Rystrom walks across a dusty and bare plot of land, dry soil
crunching (碎裂) beneath each step. In a typical year, he’d be walking across green rice fields in inches of water. But today the soil is dry and baking in the 35℃ heat. It hasn’t rained for 4 weeks in a row.
“Climate change is expected to worsen the state’s extreme swings in rainfall,” researchers reported in Nature Climate Change in 2018. Low water levels in rivers have forced farmers like Rystrom, whose family has been growing rice on this land for four generations, to reduce their water use.
“If we lose our rice crops, we have to deal with severe food crisis. Climate change is already threatening rice-growing regions around the world.
This is not a future problem. This is happening now,” says plant geneticist Pamela Ronald of the University of California, Davis, who identifies genes in rice that help the plant stand up to dryness, disease, flood, etc.
To save and even boost production, rice growers, engineers and researchers have turned to water-saving irrigation (灌溉) routines. Building canal systems and reservoirs (水库) can help farmers dampen their fields. But for some, the solution to rice’s climate-related problems lies in enhancing the plant itself. They hold that establishing rice gene banks that store hundreds of thousands of rice varieties ready to be bred into new, dryness-tolerant varieties is more practical and effective. Solutions may be hidden in the DNA of those older breeds.
Three decades have passed since its initial development, and some researchers are looking beyond the genetic variability preserved in rice gene banks, searching instead for useful genes from other species, including plants and bacteria. But picking genes from one species and putting them into another, or genetic recombination, remains debatable. The most famous example of genetically changed rice is Golden Rice (GR). “Looking ahead, it will be crucial for countries to embrace GR rice. But it will take time,” says Ismail, principal scientist at IRRI,
1. What problem does Rystrom have to deal with?
A．Thirst.B．Drought.C．Hot sun.D．Dusty weather.
2. What can be inferred from Para. 3?
A．Downtrend of rice-growing areas is severe now.
B．Climate change is a threatening factor in the future.
C．Humans will face starvation if crop failure happens.
D．Food crisis is a common occurrence around the world.
3. What’s the purpose of setting up gene banks?
A．To store as many seeds as possible.B．To cultivate climate-adapted varieties.
C．To improve the efficiency of breeding.D．To show the technology of gene mapping.
4. What’s Ismail’s opinion about GR?
A．Favourable.B．Impractical.C．Disapproving.D．Insecure.

文章介绍了科学家发现了一种对恢复静纤毛功能的蛋白质。

14. Tiny sensory hair cells called stereocilia(静纤毛)located in your inner ear are responsible for detecting sound. When these become damaged, either by genetic disorders, loud sounds or old age, it can lead to hearing difficulties and even deafness.
Now, in a series of experiments on mice, researchers based at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and the University of Sheffield have identified a protein that can be delivered to these hair cells in order to stimulate their growth. “Our discovery shows that hair cell function can be restored in certain cells,” said Dr Uri Manor, assistant research professor and director of the Waitt Advanced Biophotonics Core at Salk.
Stereocilia hair cells are found throughout the cochlea(耳蜗). Regions of the cochlea that sense low frequencies have longer stereocilia, while regions that sense high frequencies have shorter stereocilia. When sounds enter the ear, they cause fluid within the cochlea to vibrate(振动), which in turn causes the stereocilia to move. These hair cells then send signals to neurons(神经元), which pass on information about the sounds that we are hearing to the brain.
In their previous studies, Manor and Prof Walter Marotti found that the protein EPS8 was involved in determining the length of stereocilia. Without the protein, the growth of the hairs is stunted and they remain very short. For this latest study, the two researchers teamed up to design an experiment to see if adding EPS8 to stereocilia hair cells could stimulate their regrowth and improve hearing in mic. They used a common gene therapy(基因治疗)technique to deliver the protein to the hair cells on the back of a virus. They then investigated the effects using imaging techniques.
The team found that EPS8 increased the length of the stereocilia and restored their function in low-frequency cells, although not enough to restore the hearing of the mice. However, they also found that the cells seemed to lose their ability to regenerate as they aged. The researchers now plan to investigate the action of EPS8 further, with the hope of extending the age range over which it is effective.
1. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraphs 1 and 2?
A．To reveal causes of hearing problems.
B．To show different functions of stereocilia.
C．To prove the necessity of hearing protection.
D．To introduce the finding of a hearing-improving protein.
2. What does the underlined word “stunted” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Guaranteed.B．Prevented.C．Recorded.D．Reflected.
3. What did the researchers use the gene therapy technique to do?
六、阅读理解
A ．Help mice grow faster.
B ．Keep viruses from growing.
C ．Send EPS8 to stereocilia hair cells
D ．Remove aged stereocilia hair cells.4. What do the researchers plan to do?
A ．Restore the hearing of the mice.
B ．Make EPS8 effective in aging cells.
C ．Investigate the formation of EPS8.
D ．Count low-frequency cells of aging mice.

News anchors(主播) must have been reluctant to read out the following news: Xin Xiaomeng began working as the world’s first female artificial(人工的) intelligence news anchor at Xinhua News Agency on Sunday, three months after a male robot joined the profession.
Unlike previous news robots though, Xin does not read news like a cold machine; she reads it almost like a human being. The muscles on her face stretch and relax-and her reactions change-as she continues reading. That’s why many news anchors were worried: Will AI replace us in the near future?
To find the answer, we have to analyse the technologies that support Xin at her job. Three key technologies are used to support Xin. First,samples of human voices are collected and synthesized (合成). This is followed by the collection and synthesis of human muscle movement samples.And third the voices and movements are married in a way that when the Al news anchor reads, the micro -electric motors behind her face move to make her expressions seem more human.
Y et we need a thorough knowledge of deep leaning technology to make a robot imitate a person’s voice. The developer needs to collect tens of thousands of pieces of pronunciations, input them Into the machine and match them with the text or the Al to lean and read. The process for imitating facial movements is similar. The developer has to analyse the movements of the 53 muscles in the human face, make a model set from the collected data for the AI news anchor to lean, and imitate the movements of facial muscles via programs
Both the technologies used to make Xin’s performance impressive are mature. The real difficulty lies in the third -the technology to match the pronunciations with facial movements so that Xin expressions vary according to the content of the news report. In fact, Xins expressions don' t always change according to the content. As a result, her expressions look anything but human. Actually. AI is still no match for human qualities.1. What does the underlined word "reluctant "in the first paragraph mean?
A ．Delighted.
B ．Unwilling.
C ．Confused.
D ．Optimistic.
2. What can we infer about previous news robots?
A ．They read news without expressions.
B ．They looked like a human being
C ．They could interview sports stars
D ．They could interact with audience.
3. What do we know about the third technology?
A ．This technology is very perfect so far
B ．This technology is quite popular now
C ．This technology remains at the theoretical stage
D ．This technology is far from mature.
4. From the last paragraph, we can draw a conclusion that____.
A ．human news anchors should learn from AT anchors to save their jobs
B ．Al anchors perform much better than human news anchors at present
C ．Al news anchors won 't replace human news anchors in the near future
D ．Xin Xiaomeng s expressions vary so naturally that they are true to life

文章主要介绍了雪水文学家McKenzie Skiles 的研究工作及其意义。

</p>
16. My name is McKenzie Skiles and I’m a snow hydrologist (水文学家) at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. 1 Actually, the purpose is to track dust’s impact on water resources.
I am most interested in the impact of warming temperatures on snow melting rates, and I have started studying snowmelt since 2009 in Utah and Colorado. When I skied to research sites in Utah to collect snow for my experiment, the mountainous landscapes were covered in dust. 2 It’s clear that 2009 was one of the biggest years for dust deposition (沉积) onto snow.
3 I usually have to cover several kilometers, carrying a 27-kilogramme pack with a shovel (铲子) to dig a snow hole, tools to cut snow and
measure its density, and containers to collect snow for analyses. One year, I hit a dusty area of snow, broke my ski and sliced my leg open.
In areas with heavy dust deposition, such as the southern Rocky Mountains, dust speeds up melting by one or two months. Warming air temperatures affect snow gathering, but dust builds up over time and darkens the surface. 4
I’m now exploring different ice and snow landscapes for further research. For example, how black-carbon buildup following forest fires affects melting. 5 As we move into a future that is likely to be even dustier, we need them to predict snowmelt for many reasons, including working out how to use water in the western United States efficiently.
A．The dust caused a lot of trouble.
B．I went for miles in the wilderness.
C．Doing my research is no easy task.
D．One of the goals is to develop snowmelt models.
E．In Colorado, the red dust from desert soils had also blown in.
F．As a result, the snow will absorb more sunlight and quicken melting.
G．My job is to ski in the wilderness to measure dust on top of snow each spring.

18. 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。

10-year-old Aiden went to the first door and knocked on it. An older woman answered the door.
“Good morning!” Aiden said. “My name is Aiden. My mom is sick, and I want to get food for her. Can I get some money, please?” But the woman suspected and refused. Aiden didn’t lose heart and knocked on the second door. “Can I please ask for some money, ma’am? My mom is very sick!” he begged sadly. The woman who answered the door gave him a concerned look. “Oh! Should I call the CPS (儿童保护署) or an ambulance?
Do you want me to come with you?”
“Ugh, well,” Aiden hesitated. “It’s alright. I just remembered I had to go somewhere,” he ran away. That whole day, Aiden went from door to door asking for money, but sadly, he got none.
A couple of days later, Aiden returned to the neighborhood and saw a new couple had moved into what used to be an empty house. He decided to
try his luck and knocked on the door, and a young woman answered.
Aiden told her his name and repeated what he said to the other residents. The woman smiled, “I’m Lauren. Just wait here. I’ll get you some money and food, okay?” Aiden nodded as Lauren went inside. She returned with two huge bags of groceries and a $100 bill. “I hope these can help your mother,” she said.
“Thank you!” he exclaimed happily as he carried the two bags over his shoulder and ran away.
Waving him goodbye, Lauren realized that Aiden was hiding something. She decided to drive after him secretly to find out more about his story.
Soon, they came to an area without houses, and then Aiden disappeared under a bridge. Lauren pulled over and walked to the bridge. She spotted him and froze. Aiden was living with a little girl in a tent under the bridge. She heard Aiden saying to the girl, “Beth, we have food now. Y ou won’t go
hungry.”
