Set more than a decade after the events of the first movie, Avatar: The Way Of The Water returns to see Jake and Neytiri with a family. In the previous film, Jake (Sam Worthington), a former human, befriends the Na'vi after becoming a part of the Avatar Programme. He eventually takes their side in their conflict with the humans and leads them to victory, meanwhile falling in love with Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) and leaving his human body to become one of the Na'vi.In this new movie, the humans return to wreak havoc on the planet of Pandora, and Jake leads the Na'vi army into battle to protect it. The live action scenes were filmed in New Zealand, which were then overlayed with CGI (computer generated imagery) to transform the characters and seascape into an amazing fantasy world.The Lost King (Drama Comedy)Based on true events, this is the story of one woman's search for King Richard III's remains, which had been lost for over 500 years. Amateur historian Philippa Langley (Sally Hawkins), whose persistent research is met with incomprehension by her friends and family, and doubt and confusion by experts and academics. She takes on the country's most eminent historians, forcing them to think again about one of England's most controversial kings. Bones And All (Romantic Horror)Based on the 2015 book of the same name, this coming-of-age movie is both tender and haunting. Abandoned by her mother, Maren (Taylor Russell), a young woman on the margins of society, sets off on a journey of self-discovery, when she meets Lee (Timothee Chalamet), a homeless drifter(流浪汉). Together they embark on a road trip through the back country of the US. But a trail of pain and tragedy follows her like a ghost. With Lee's help, she desperately tries to return to be normal.Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness(Action, Adventure, Fantasy)Following the events of Spider-Man No Way Home, Doctor Strange unwittingly casts a forbidden spell that accidentally opens up the multiverse(平行宇宙). With help from Wong and Scarlet Witch, Strange confronts various versions of himself as well as teaming up with the young America Chavez while traveling through various realities and working to restore reality as he knows it.

He was hiking the remote expanse of land behind his ranch in Patagonia, Arizona, a town near the US-Mexico border, when he spotted a balloon on the grass. Heiss walked towards and that's when he noticed the balloon's string was attached to a piece of paper.Heiss flipped the paper over. It was a numbered list, all in Spanish. “My Spanish isn't very good, but I could see it was a Christmas list," he said. Heiss was charmed. He suspected that a little child had tried to send Santa Claus a Christmas wish list by balloon, something he used to do himself when he was a kid. Nobody had ever returned the letters Heiss had sent aloft, but he wondered whether he could find the girl who had sent this one.It would be difficult, but he had a few clues. About 32 kilometres to the southwest, just across the border, was the city of Nogales, Mexico. Heiss brought the note home to his wife, who is fluent in Spanish and helped him translate the list. They determined that it was probably a girl who had asked for a doll and dollhouse.Heiss then posted on Facebook about his quest, attaching photos, hoping some of his friends in Nogales might know the girl's family. A few days passed with no leads; Heiss worried that time was running out before Christmas. On December l9, 2018, he decided to send a private Facebook message to Radio XENY, an AM radio station based in Nogales. The Radio XENY host Cesar Barron tallked on the air about the quest to find the girl and posted about it on the station's Facebook page.The next morning, Heiss awoke to another message from Radio XENY. They had located the eight-year-old girl, Dayami, and her family. Heiss went shopping with his wife. They bought just about everything on Dayami's list except for the dollhouse (it was sold out). Then the Heisses arrived at the Radio XENY offices with presents by the armload – and finally met the very excited little girl."Her eyes were wide open with wonder," Heiss said of the girl's reaction. “We now have friends for life, 'Heiss said.“And, for a day, that border fence with its concertina wire melted away."Which of the following is not correct according to the passage?The balloon was spotted near the US-Mexico borderOn the balloon was a numbered list in French C.  When Heiss was a kid he did the same thing as the little girl did D.  He had a few clues on how to find the girl.6.  Why did Heiss feel worried when his Facebook quest was in vain?His wife can’t wait to go shopping.He was eager to present the girl with what she wanted before Christmas C.  Considerable time and effort were needed to melt away the border fence D.  A private Facebook message to Radio XENY was difficult to send7.

Which of the following can best describe Heiss?Funny and honest Brave and honest  Persistent and caring outgoing and experiencedII. 完形填空Jim Glaub and Dylan Parker had just been handed the keys to their new Manhattan apartmentwhen the outgoing tenant(房客) said something curious. “There's this thing where letters addressed to 1    come to the apartment. It had been coming for years and no one knows why.” For the first two years only a few letters arrived from kids or parents asking Santa for gifts. Then in 2010, they were deluged(泛滥的).
