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.

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.
4. From the first paragraph we learn that the author is _______ .
A. desperate
B. humorous
C. bored
D. worried
5. 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.
6. How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By showing evidences.
B. By providing examples.
C. By making comparisons.
D. By interpreting opinions.
7. 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.
C
Those who are concerned that robots are taking over the world can rest easy—for now. Though the androids have proved useful at performing ordinary tasks, they are not ready for the greatest time. At least that appears to be the case atJapan’s Henn-na Hotel chain where over half of the robot staff are being replaced by humans.
The first location of the unique hotel opened in July 2015 was atNagasaki’s Huis Ten Bosch Theme Park. The hotel’s owner, Hideo Sawada, promised the hotel to be managed primarily by robots. Guests were greeted and checked-in by a dinosaur robot, while a cute android called Churi, placed inside each room, provided information about attractions. Not surprisingly, the lodging, recognized in 2016 as the world’s first robot-staffed hotel by Guinness World Records, drew in curious visitors from all around the world.
But as the years have passed, the hotel’s main draw is becoming less novel and more unsatisfactory. Also as the robots are “aging”, they are costing more to repair. Among the 283 androids being replaced are the chain’s two dinosaur receptionists. In addition to scaring young guests, they are also unable to photocopy guests’ passports, forcing human employees to step in each time. Also out are the cute Churi robots, which annoyed guests by
interrupting their conversations. For example, one guest told The Wall Street Journal that Churi mistook his snoring for a command and kept asking him to repeat his request all night.
Sawada told The Wall Street Journal, “When you actually use robots you realize there are places where they aren’t needed—or just annoy people.” While Sawada may be cutting back on his use of androids, the recently-opened Smart LYZ Hotel and the Fly Zoo Hotel inChina, are run entirely by robots, with not a human in sight. Whether the employees have more competence than those “hired” by the Henn-na Hotel chain remains to be seen.
8. What makesJapan’s Henn-na Hotel unique?
A. Its robot employees.
B. Its advanced equipment.
C. Its convenient location.
D. Its successful management.
9. What is the author’s purpose with the example in paragraph 3?
A. To entertain readers.
B. To prove Churi’s drawback.
C. To introduce Churi’s functions.
D. To persuade people not to book the hotel.
10. What does the owner ofJapan’s Henn-na Hotel think of his robot staff now?
A. Attractive.
B. Costly.
C. Pioneering.
D. Disappointing.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Robots Are Taking Over the World.
B. The Boom of Robots-staffed Hotel.
C. Robot Staff Are Fired For No Competence.
D. The First Robots-staffed Hotel Won Guinness World Record.
D
Humans are the only creature that gets around by standing up and putting one foot in front of the other. Our ability to walk upright has allowed humankind to travel great distances and survive changing climates, environments and landscapes.
Countless scientific studies have found that walking is really good for us and this simple act can provide a number of healthimplications, which help people live longer. In fact, a walking routine, if done properly, might be the only exercise people need.
How much walking should one aim for? You’ve likely heard we need 10,000 steps a day. That’s about 5 miles. But contrary to popular belief, this recommendation doesn’t come from science. Instead, itis from a 1960s advertising campaign to promote a pedometer (计步器) in Japan. Perhaps because it’s a round number and easy
to remember, it stuck.
Since the 1960s, researchers have studied the 10,000-steps-a-day standard and have turned up mixed results. Although 10,000 steps is certainly a healthy and worthwhile goal, it’s not fit for all.
For instance, a recent Harvard University study involving more than 16,000 senior women found that those who got at least 4,400 steps a day greatly reduced their risk of dying early when compared with less active women. The study also noted that these benefits continued up to 7,500 steps. This 7,500 mark isn’t surprising: It’s similar to common public health recommendations, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate (适度的) physical activity a week for adults.
12. What does the underlined word “implications” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Benefits
B. Problems.
C. Habits.
D. Manners.
13. Where does the 10,000-steps-a-day standard come from?
A. A Harvard University study.
B. Science research on health.
C. A pedometer advertisement.
D. Public health recommendation.
14. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. 7,500-steps-a-day standard is the best choice for all.
B. More than 16,000 old people were involved in the study.
C. Those who walk at least 4,400 steps a day won’t die early.
D. 150-minute moderate exercise a week for adults is advised.
15. What does the author mainly want to tell readers?
A. The more you walk a day, the healthier you will be.
B. We can benefit from continuous and proper walking.
C. Walking upright helps humankind to explore the world.
D. Advertisements can always tell us some scientific suggestions .

I went camping last Saturday with several friends. It was so fine weather that we felt really relaxed, singing and laughing all of the way. When we arrived at the camp site, it was already noon. We set up the camp and want to have lunch. But fortunately, we found the food missing. I volunteered to buy some in a nearby store, where an old man helped me pack up some breads. But when it was time to pay, I told he had no smartphone and that he could only pay in cash. However, I didn't have any cash. Seeing my disappointing look, the old man offered me some free food, what moved me greatly. What the kind man!
