But this version of “Mulan" actually improves a great deal on the fantasy fable of a young Chinese woman (Yifei Liu) who takes the place of her sick father (Tzi Ma) in the Imperial Army. Mulan is a warrior extraordinaire worth the emotional investment.Where to watch: Disney (as a $30 premium add-on)Love, GuaranteedThe film stars Rachael Leigh Cook as Susan, a glamorous lawyer.

An 83-year-old named Sergio is hired to go undercover at a Chilean nursing home and look into claims of elder abuse.

But, instead of chasing down a fish in open waters like she usually does, mom swims over to a basket sponge (海绵)growing on the ocean floor. In a quick move, she breaks off a piece of the sponge, then fits it closely over her mouth. It's hard not to wonder what that watchful youngster might be thinking about all this. Are you going to eat that sponge? Are we playing?With the sponge secured on her beak, the older dolphin starts sweeping her head back and forth across the ocean floor. She's looking for fish like the sand perch（沙鲈），which hide themselves on the floor of the sea under the sand. As for the sponge stuck onto her mouth, it allows her to clear away the sand without injuring herself on broken pieces of coral, or maybe even suffering the sting（刺痛）of the scorpion fish. The extra work it takes to catch a fish like the sand perch is worth it because they tend to be fattier. And for a dolphin, fattier means more nutritious.Sure enough, after a few minutes, a sand perch comes out. The fish dashes off for a few yards and then hesitates, waiting for a moment before burying itself in the sand again. In that brief pause, the elder dolphin shakes off the sponge, surfaces for a breath, and then comes down and catches the sand perch before it can rebury itself. She then passes it to her daughter. And with that, the younger dolphin hasn't just gotten a good meal; more importantly, she's learned a powerful hunting technique - one that years from now, she'll pass along to her own children.24．Which word best describes the young dolphin's feeling in the first paragraph?A．Anxious. B．Curious. C．Scared. D．Relaxed.25．Why does the mother dolphin need a piece of sponge?A．To chase down fattier fish. B．To play with her children.C．To protect herself from being hurt. D．To hide herself under the sand.26．How does the older dolphin catch the sand perch?A．She waits for the right time. B．She hides under the sand.C．She sets a trap for it. D．She makes use of space.27．What is the text mainly about?A．Guidance of an experienced elder. B．Reliance of a young dolphin on her mom.C．The process of catching fat fish. D．The powerful hunting technique.CNASA scientists using virtual reality technology are redefining our understanding about how our galaxy (银河系) works.Using customized, 3D virtual reality (VR) simulation (模拟) that animated the speed and direction of 4 million stars in the local Milky Way neighborhood, astronomer Marc Kuchner and researcher Susan Higashio obtained a new perspective on the stars’ motions, improving our understanding of star groupings.Astronomers have come to different conclusions about the same groups of tars from studying them in six dimensions using paper graphs, Higashio said. Groups of stars moving together indicate to astronomers that they originated at the same time and place, which can help us understand how our galaxy evolved.Goddard’s virtual reality team, managed by Thomas Grubb, animated those same stars, revolutionizing the classification process and making the groupings easier to see, Higashio said. They found stars that may have been classified into the wrong groups as well as star groups that could belong to larger groupings.“Rather than look up one database and then another database, why not fly there and look at them all together,” Higashio said. She watched these simulations hundreds, maybe thousands of times, and said the associations between the groups of stars became more intuitive inside the artificial cosmos (宇宙) found within the VR headset. Observing stars in VR will redefine astronomer’s understanding of some individual stars as well as star groupings.The 3D visualization helped her and Kuchner open a window into the past. “We often find groups of young stars moving together, suggesting that they all formed at the same time,” Kuchner said. “The thinking is they represent a star-formation event. They were all formed in the same place at the same time and so they move together.”28. In which aspect can a 3D VR simulation help researchers? A. Getting a new idea of how stars are formed.B. Making a more accurate classification of stars.C. Drawing a clearer picture of a star’s inner structure.D. Having a better understanding of modern technology.29. What does the underlined word “intuitive” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Abstract. B. Complex. C. Vivid. D. Close.30. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Our future relies heavily on the 3D technology.B. The 3D technology is applied to many industries.C. NASA scientists use VR for scientific discoveries.D. Researchers have discovered new stars by using VR.31. Where is this text most likely from?A. A sci-fi story. B. A travel guidebook.C. A research paper. D. A science magazine.D If you can't imagine life without chocolate, you're lucky you weren't born before the 16th century. Until then, chocolate only existed in Central America, in a form quite different from what we know. As far back as 1900 BCE, the people in Central America had learned to mix the beans of the native cacao trees with corn powder (粉) and chili peppers to create a drink - not a relaxing cup of hot cocoa, but a bitter mixture. They believed that the cacao was a heavenly food. They used cacao beans as money, drank chocolate at royal feasts, gave it to soldiers as a reward for success in battles, and used it in religious ceremonies. After the colonists (移民) visited Central America in 1519, they returned with shipments of the strange new beans. At first, its bitter taste made it suitable as a medicine for illnesses, but sweetening it with honey or sugar quickly made chocolate popular food in the Spanish court. Nevertheless, the fashionable drink was difficult and time consuming to produce on a large scale (大规模地). The world of chocolate would change forever in 1828 with the invention of the cocoa press, which could separate the natural fat or cocoa butter. This left a powder that could be mixed into a drinkable solution or recombined with the cocoa butter to create the solid chocolate we know today. By the 20th century, chocolate was no longer a luxury, but had become a treat for the public. Yet along with the growth of the industry, there have been horrific abuses of human rights. Many of the plantations throughout West Africa use slave and child labor. This is a complex problem that remains despite efforts from major chocolate companies to partner with African nations to reduce child labor practices.Today chocolate has established itself in our modern culture. Yet knowing more about its fascinating and often cruel history, as well as its production today, can tell us where its colonial associations with native cultures originate and what they hide. So as you unwrap your next bar of chocolate, take a moment to consider that not everything about chocolate is sweet.32．What can we learn about chocolate in 1900 BCE?A．It was used on grand occasions. B．It was a comfort to retired soldiers.C．It was purely made of cocoa beans. D．It was a relaxing but bitter mixture.33．What led to the popularity of chocolate in the Spanish court?A．Its improved flavor. B．Its medical use.C．Its religious status. D．Its wide availability.34．What made chocolate a treat for the public?A．The efficient transport. B．The popular fashion.C．The healthy recipe. D．The new technology.35．What does the author think of chocolate?A．It brings lots of health benefits. B．It helps end human rights abuses.C．Its influence should be recognized. D．Its bitter side shouldn't be ignored.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Developing Interpersonal RelationshipsOne of the biggest keys to happiness is having strong interpersonal relationships. I believe that relationships are key to leading a fulfilling and contented life. Like anything worth having in life, they take some work to develop and maintain.In the spirit of clarity, it’s good idea to take a quick look at the definition of interpersonal relationships. 36 This can extend from family to friends, to work associates, to neighbors, or clubs and on and on. It can be a relationship in any context or situation.For instance, I’ve had strong short-lived relationships with people I’ve worked with on a project as well as one for 50 years with my brother. My two best friends and I live in different cities but, we get together several times a year and have a great time. I have a mentor I worked with over a decade ago I still stay in touch with because we get along so well. 37 We will briefly touch on developing interpersonal relationships. Best way to approach it is to be a good partner or friend as the situation desires. 38 Do your part and help others as needed. Be a contributor who is also willing to help out when needed. As a friend, you simply follow the age-old piece of advice “to have a friend, you must first be a friend”. 39 That want-to-help attitude will put you with like-minded individuals who you’ll probably hit it off with. The main thing to remember is great interpersonal relationships can get formed any place or situation where you interact with other people. 40 A. That’s how interpersonal relationship affects you.B. Interpersonal relationships serve to ease people’s anxiety.C. For instance, ensure you are a good person to work with.D. All of these are examples of strong interpersonal relationships.E. Put some effort into it and you’d be amazed at how that pays offF. An interpersonal relationship is a strong association between people.G. If you’re on a team, it should be something you’d like to help out with.第三部分 语言运用（共两节， 满分30分）第一节（共15小题； 每小题1分， 满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Pam was making her way alone down the snow-covered mountain when she made out a man sitting motionless.

I could not resist(抵制）driving past childhood home and stopping by the old hut. My neighbors told me my mother had passed away and left a letter for me.
