Lebanese filmmaker Nadine Labaki has become the first female artist in the Arab world to be nominated(提名) for an Academy Award,or Oscar.
Labaki directed the film Capernaum,a film about a Syrian refugee(难民) boy and a Kenyan baby who live without parents on the streets of Beirut.It was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.
Labaki will be one of the few female directors to compete for an Oscar this year.She told the Associated Press,“I wish there were a lot more women filmmakers this year represented,nominated in the Oscars.But I am sure in a few years we won’t be having this problem anymore.”
Unlike in the West,women filmmakers are industry leaders in Lebanon.
Capernaum received a 15-minute standing ovation(热烈欢迎) at the Cannes Film Festival.It won the Jury Prize—the third highest award given at Cannes.
“The United Nations has publicly praised the film,”Lebanon’s Foreign Minister said.
Capernaum put a Lebanese touch on the international film industry.
The Oscar nomination of Capernaum is the second for Lebanon in two years in the film group.It demonstrates the country’s rising star power.
Labaki called making the movie a life-changing experience.She said Capernaum helps humanize the real struggles of refugees only briefly talked about in the news.
“We can’t help but acknowledge that there is a fear of refugees in general around the world and there are these walls we are building,and this fear keeps growing,” Labaki said.
Capernaum will compete against four other films for the Oscar,including awards season favorite Roma.Directed by Mexico’s Alfonso Cuaron,it earned 10 Oscar nominations,including for Best Picture.

The world’s hottest rainforest is located not in the Amazon or anywhere else you might expect,but inside Biosphere(生物圈) 2,the experimental scientific research facility in the desert outside Tucson,Arizona.A recent study of tropical trees planted there in the early 1990s reported a surprising result: They have withstood temperatures higher than any likely to be experienced by tropical forests this century.
The study adds to a growing number of findings that are giving forest scientists something that’s been in short supply lately: hope.Plants may have unexpected resources that could help them survive—and perhaps even prosper—in a hotter,more carbon-rich future.And while tropical forests still face both human and natural threats,some researchers believe terrible reports of their approaching decline due to climate change may have been overstated.
“Biology is clever,” says Scott Saleska,an ecologist at the University of Arizona in Tucson and co-leader of the Biosphere 2 study.“It’s a lot smarter than our models yet represent.”
The last few years have seen a flood of alarming reports about forests and climate change’s effects on them.Scientists have announced that the Amazon forest is no longer a reliable carbon sink;the Amazon rainforest may be nearing a tipping point;tropical forests globally are already close to the hottest temperatures they can tolerate and climate change is killing off old trees.
One thing is certainly true: Our fossil fuel emissions are creating a climate that humans have never seen and trees haven’t experienced in a very long time.“We’re pushing tropical forests into temperatures they’ve never seen since the Cretaceous—since there were dinosaurs,” says Abigail Swann,an ecologist and climate scientist at the University of Washington in Seattle.
8.Where is the hottest rainforest located according to the article?
A.In the Amazon tropical forest.
B.In a research facility in Arizona.
C.In the rainforest in Brazil.
D.At the University of Arizona.
9.What can we conclude from the second paragraph?
A.Forest scientists still lack numbers of findings about rainforest.
B.Plants may not survive in hot and carbon-rich future than expected.
C.Plants may survive in hotter and more carbon-rich environment.
D.People may overstate the climate change in the future.
10.How will the fossil fuel emissions change the climate?
A.We have never seen the climate change due to greenhouse.
B.The fossil fuel emissions may destroy the whole ecosystem.
C.The temperatures may reach as high as those in dinosaur period.
D.The fossil fuel emissions may create a climate plants can’t bear.
11.What is the text mainly about?
A.The world’s hottest rainforest in the wild.
B.Plants may die of fossil fuel emissions due to mankind.
C.The Amazon forest is declining quickly in the future.
D.Plants may stand hotter temperature than expected.
8.B【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“The world’s hottest rainforest is located not in the Amazon or anywhere else you might expect,but inside Biosphere(生物圈) 2,the experimental scientific research facility in the desert outside Tucson,Arizona.”可知,最热的雨林位于亚利桑那州的一个研究机构。故选B。
9.C【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Plants may have unexpected resources that could help them survive—and perhaps even prosper—in a hotter,more carbon-rich future.”可知,植物可以在更热、碳更丰富的环境中生存。故选C。
10.C【解析】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段可知,化石燃料排放使得温度可能会达到恐龙时期的温度。故选C。
11.D【解析】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中的“A recent study of tropical trees planted there in the early 1990s reported a surprising result: They have withstood temperatures higher than any likely to be experienced by tropical forests this century.”及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了植物可以忍受超过预期的高温。故选D。

Robots are often cast in popular science fiction as the bad characters that take over the world and enslave mankind.But with the beginning of some serious diseases,robots are increasingly being employed as helpers,taking on often dull,difficult and dangerous tasks and thus reducing humans’ exposure to some terrifying virus.
In the United States,two of the main ways in which robotic technology is being used in the hospitals are to disinfect(消毒) hospital rooms and act as a telemedicine portal,allowing doctors and health care workers to communicate via video conference directly with patients without unnecessarily exposing themselves to those highly infectious virus.
In Boston,doctors,researchers and robotics engineers have teamed up to bring a friendly,dog-like,four-legged robot named Spot into Brigham and Women’ s Hospital,allowing doctors to communicate with patients via telemedicine.
In March,at the start of the pandemic,a league from hospital,the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Spot’s manufacturer—Boston Dynamnics,began testing the robot’s design to enable Spot to communicate with patients,thus reducing the exposure of frontline health care workers to the virus.In the place of a head,Spot has an iPad affixed to a stand,allowing doctors to conduct telemedicine services with their patients.
“Most people actually really like it,” says Dr.Peter Chai,an emergency medicine physician who serves as the hospital’s chief researcher on the robot project.
Researchers are working to increase the robot’s diagnostic abilities,enabling it to measure the patient’s temperature and his or her respiratory rate(呼吸率).
Chai predicts that hospitals will continue to find more ways to use robots,and the wonders whether robots can deliver supplies to rooms or see patients with other infectious diseases.
12.What words can best describe the jobs robots are employed to do?
A.Normal and easy.
B.Exciting but dangerous.
C.Dirty and complex.
D.Frightening and difficult.
13.Why are robots being used in American hospitals?
A.To save money.
B.To replace doctors.
C.To protect doctors from infecting virus.
D.To deliver supplies to patients and doctors.
14.What do we know about Spot?
A.It is a friendly dog.
B.It can deliver supplies to hospital rooms.
C.It can help adjust the patient’s temperature.
D.It allows doctors to conduct telemedicine services.
15.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Spot the Robot Dog
B.Train Robot Doctors
C.Robots Being Used in Hospital
D.Robots in Popular Science Fiction
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过例子介绍了机器人被用于医院,减少了医务人员接触传染性很强的病毒的机会,通过机器人的头部装置让医生和医护人员通过视频与患者沟通,对病人进行远程医疗服务。
12.D【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But with the beginning of some serious diseases,robots are increasingly being employed as helpers,taking on often dull,difficult and dangerous tasks and thus reducing humans’ exposure to some terrifying virus.”可知,机器人从事的是枯燥、困难和危险的任务。故选D。
13.C【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中的“...reducing humans’ exposure to some terrifying virus”和第二段中的“...act as a telemedicine portal,allowing doctors and health care workers to communicate via video conference directly with patients without unnecessarily exposing themselves to those highly infectious virus”可知,机器人被用于美国医院,是为了防止医生感染病毒。故选C。
14.D【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段和第四段中的“In the place of a head,Spot has an iPad affixed to a stand,allowing doctors to conduct telemedicine services with their patients.”可知,通过Spot头部的iPad,医生对病人可以进行远程医疗服务。故选D。
15.C【解析】标题归纳题。文章通过例子介绍了机器人被用于医院,减少了医务人员接触传染性很强的病毒的机会,通过机器人的头部装置让医生和医护人员通过视频与患者沟通,对病人进行远程医疗服务。故选C。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
One of the most popular vacation destinations for young families is the home of relatives.
1 Here are some tips for making sure you are invited back again.
Be considerate
Every family has their own way of doing things.Keep these things in mind when you’re visiting.If your host family are early to bed and early to rise,don’t keep them up talking until one o’clock in the morning.
If your host family gets angry about kids running wildly,either plan to keep a close eye on your kids or plan to stay somewhere else. 2
Offer to help out
Playing host to a family with children can be quite a challenge.Make sure you help lighten the load.
3 Offer to help with cooking and cleanup.Make your beds and run to the store for milk.Better yet,don’t ask.Just start working.
Help pay for food
This may not apply,if you’re visiting parents and they insist on paying for everything and they can afford it. 4 Use your judgment when it comes to staying with parents.However,if you’re visiting cousins,it will be a great help to them if you buy your share of the food.
Show your appreciation
No matter whom you are visiting,make sure you let them know you appreciate their hospitality(盛情招待). 5 Or leave some fresh flowers when you leave.If you don’t have enough money,write them a letter,letting them know how much fun you had and how much you appreciate them.
A.Don’t expect your hosts to supply your every need.
B.Offer to take them out to dinner on your last night in town.
C.Make sure you don’t leave your things behind while visiting a family.
D.In that case you may hurt your parents if you insist on paying for food.
E.Try not to disturb someone who is in the middle of exams.
F.Staying with relatives is a great way to save money while getting away from home for a while.
G.Having a talk with your children about expected behavior while visiting is always a good idea.
语篇解读 去远方旅行最佳的目的地莫过于自己的亲戚所在的城市了,这样你可以节省一大笔开支。但是,怎样确保自己在亲戚家成为受欢迎的人,从而会有再次被邀请的机会呢?
1 F【解析】上句提到去远方旅行时,最佳的目的地莫过于亲戚所在的城市,而F选项就讲述了去亲戚所在城市旅行的好处:住在亲戚家是一个省钱的好办法。
2 G【解析】上句提到如果你的孩子在亲戚家疯跑从而招致了亲戚的厌烦,要么看紧自己的孩子,要么就搬到别的地方去住。G选项“在拜访亲戚家的时候要跟孩子谈一谈在别人家应该有的表现”与上句一致,都是讲在亲戚家停留期间如何不让孩子影响到别人的心情。
3.A【解析】下面几句都是在列举应该如何在自己所拜访的亲戚家做一些自己力所能及的事情。所以A选项“不要指望主人满足你的一切需求”与下句相呼应,都是在讲在别人家停留的时候自己能做的事情要亲力亲为,不要总是麻烦别人。
4.D【解析】上句提到如果你是在探望自己的父母,他们又有经济能力而且又坚持每一样东西都由他们付款的话,可以不必一定坚持在买食物的时候为他们付款。D选项讲述了在上述的情况下,如果你坚持自己付款,可能会导致的不良结果:损伤他们的感情。
5.B【解析】上句提到无论你拜访的是谁,一定要让对方知道你很感激他们的盛情款待。B选项提出的正是表达这种感激的方式之一:在你离开的前一天晚上请对方吃一顿饭。而下一句提出的是另一种表达感激的方式:在离开的时候给他们送一些鲜花。

Lebanese filmmaker Nadine Labaki has become the first female artist in the Arab world to be nominated(提名) for an Academy Award,or Oscar.
Labaki directed the film Capernaum,a film about a Syrian refugee(难民) boy and a Kenyan baby who live without parents on the streets of Beirut.It was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.
Labaki will be one of the few female directors to compete for an Oscar this year.She told the Associated Press,“I wish there were a lot more women filmmakers this year represented,nominated in the Oscars.But I am sure in a few years we won’t be having this problem anymore.”
Unlike in the West,women filmmakers are industry leaders in Lebanon.
Capernaum received a 15-minute standing ovation(热烈欢迎) at the Cannes Film Festival.It won the Jury Prize—the third highest award given at Cannes.
“The United Nations has publicly praised the film,”Lebanon’s Foreign Minister said.
Capernaum put a Lebanese touch on the international film industry.
The Oscar nomination of Capernaum is the second for Lebanon in two years in the film group.It demonstrates the country’s rising star power.
Labaki called making the movie a life-changing experience.She said Capernaum helps humanize the real struggles of refugees only briefly talked about in the news.
“We can’t help but acknowledge that there is a fear of refugees in general around the world and there are these walls we are building,and this fear keeps growing,” Labaki said.
Capernaum will compete against four other films for the Oscar,including awards season favorite Roma.Directed by Mexico’s Alfonso Cuaron,it earned 10 Oscar nominations,including for Best Picture.
4.Where does Labaki come from?
A.Syria. B.Kenya.

A.Few women directors have been nominated in the Oscars.

The world’s hottest rainforest is located not in the Amazon or anywhere else you might expect,but inside Biosphere(生物圈) 2,the experimental scientific research facility in the desert outside Tucson,Arizona.A recent study of tropical trees planted there in the early 1990s reported a surprising result: They have withstood temperatures higher than any likely to be experienced by tropical forests this century.
The study adds to a growing number of findings that are giving forest scientists something that’s been in short supply lately: hope.Plants may have unexpected resources that could help them survive—and perhaps even prosper—in a hotter,more carbon-rich future.And while tropical forests still face both human and natural threats,some researchers believe terrible reports of their approaching decline due to climate change may have been overstated.
“Biology is clever,” says Scott Saleska,an ecologist at the University of Arizona in Tucson and co-leader of the Biosphere 2 study.“It’s a lot smarter than our models yet represent.”
The last few years have seen a flood of alarming reports about forests and climate change’s effects on them.Scientists have announced that the Amazon forest is no longer a reliable carbon sink;the Amazon rainforest may be nearing a tipping point;tropical forests globally are already close to the hottest temperatures they can tolerate and climate change is killing off old trees.
One thing is certainly true: Our fossil fuel emissions are creating a climate that humans have never seen and trees haven’t experienced in a very long time.“We’re pushing tropical forests into temperatures they’ve never seen since the Cretaceous—since there were dinosaurs,” says Abigail Swann,an ecologist and climate scientist at the University of Washington in Seattle.
8.Where is the hottest rainforest located according to the article?
A.In the Amazon tropical forest.
B.In a research facility in Arizona.
C.In the rainforest in Brazil.
D.At the University of Arizona.
9.What can we conclude from the second paragraph?
A.Forest scientists still lack numbers of findings about rainforest.
B.Plants may not survive in hot and carbon-rich future than expected.
C.Plants may survive in hotter and more carbon-rich environment.
D.People may overstate the climate change in the future.
10.How will the fossil fuel emissions change the climate?
A.We have never seen the climate change due to greenhouse.
B.The fossil fuel emissions may destroy the whole ecosystem.
C.The temperatures may reach as high as those in dinosaur period.
D.The fossil fuel emissions may create a climate plants can’t bear.
11.What is the text mainly about?
A.The world’s hottest rainforest in the wild.
B.Plants may die of fossil fuel emissions due to mankind.
C.The Amazon forest is declining quickly in the future.
D.Plants may stand hotter temperature than expected.
8.B【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“The world’s hottest rainforest is located not in the Amazon or anywhere else you might expect,but inside Biosphere(生物圈) 2,the experimental scientific research facility in the desert outside Tucson,Arizona.”可知,最热的雨林位于亚利桑那州的一个研究机构。故选B。
9.C【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Plants may have unexpected resources that could help them survive—and perhaps even prosper—in a hotter,more carbon-rich future.”可知,植物可以在更热、碳更丰富的环境中生存。故选C。
10.C【解析】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段可知,化石燃料排放使得温度可能会达到恐龙时期的温度。故选C。
11.D【解析】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中的“A recent study of tropical trees planted there in the early 1990s reported a surprising result: They have withstood temperatures higher than any likely to be experienced by tropical forests this century.”及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了植物可以忍受超过预期的高温。故选D。

Robots are often cast in popular science fiction as the bad characters that take over the world and enslave mankind.But with the beginning of some serious diseases,robots are increasingly being employed as helpers,taking on often dull,difficult and dangerous tasks and thus reducing humans’ exposure to some terrifying virus.
In the United States,two of the main ways in which robotic technology is being used in the hospitals are to disinfect(消毒) hospital rooms and act as a telemedicine portal,allowing doctors and health care workers to communicate via video conference directly with patients without unnecessarily exposing themselves to those highly infectious virus.
In Boston,doctors,researchers and robotics engineers have teamed up to bring a friendly,dog-like,four-legged robot named Spot into Brigham and Women’ s Hospital,allowing doctors to communicate with patients via telemedicine.
In March,at the start of the pandemic,a league from hospital,the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Spot’s manufacturer—Boston Dynamnics,began testing the robot’s design to enable Spot to communicate with patients,thus reducing the exposure of frontline health care workers to the virus.In the place of a head,Spot has an iPad affixed to a stand,allowing doctors to conduct telemedicine services with their patients.
“Most people actually really like it,” says Dr.Peter Chai,an emergency medicine physician who serves as the hospital’s chief researcher on the robot project.
Researchers are working to increase the robot’s diagnostic abilities,enabling it to measure the patient’s temperature and his or her respiratory rate(呼吸率).
Chai predicts that hospitals will continue to find more ways to use robots,and the wonders whether robots can deliver supplies to rooms or see patients with other infectious diseases.

One of the most popular vacation destinations for young families is the home of relatives.
1 Here are some tips for making sure you are invited back again.
Be considerate
Every family has their own way of doing things.Keep these things in mind when you’re visiting.If your host family are early to bed and early to rise,don’t keep them up talking until one o’clock in the morning.
If your host family gets angry about kids running wildly,either plan to keep a close eye on your kids or plan to stay somewhere else. 2
Offer to help out
Playing host to a family with children can be quite a challenge.Make sure you help lighten the load.
3 Offer to help with cooking and cleanup.Make your beds and run to the store for milk.Better yet,don’t ask.Just start working.
Help pay for food
This may not apply,if you’re visiting parents and they insist on paying for everything and they can afford it. 4 Use your judgment when it comes to staying with parents.However,if you’re visiting cousins,it will be a great help to them if you buy your share of the food.
Show your appreciation
No matter whom you are visiting,make sure you let them know you appreciate their hospitality(盛情招待). 5 Or leave some fresh flowers when you leave.If you don’t have enough money,write them a letter,letting them know how much fun you had and how much you appreciate them.
A.Don’t expect your hosts to supply your every need.
B.Offer to take them out to dinner on your last night in town.
C.Make sure you don’t leave your things behind while visiting a family.
D.In that case you may hurt your parents if you insist on paying for food.
E.Try not to disturb someone who is in the middle of exams.
F.Staying with relatives is a great way to save money while getting away from home for a while.
G.Having a talk with your children about expected behavior while visiting is always a good idea.
语篇解读 去远方旅行最佳的目的地莫过于自己的亲戚所在的城市了,这样你可以节省一大笔开支。但是,怎样确保自己在亲戚家成为受欢迎的人,从而会有再次被邀请的机会呢?
1 F【解析】上句提到去远方旅行时,最佳的目的地莫过于亲戚所在的城市,而F选项就讲述了去亲戚所在城市旅行的好处:住在亲戚家是一个省钱的好办法。
2 G【解析】上句提到如果你的孩子在亲戚家疯跑从而招致了亲戚的厌烦,要么看紧自己的孩子,要么就搬到别的地方去住。G选项“在拜访亲戚家的时候要跟孩子谈一谈在别人家应该有的表现”与上句一致,都是讲在亲戚家停留期间如何不让孩子影响到别人的心情。
3.A【解析】下面几句都是在列举应该如何在自己所拜访的亲戚家做一些自己力所能及的事情。所以A选项“不要指望主人满足你的一切需求”与下句相呼应,都是在讲在别人家停留的时候自己能做的事情要亲力亲为,不要总是麻烦别人。
4.D【解析】上句提到如果你是在探望自己的父母,他们又有经济能力而且又坚持每一样东西都由他们付款的话,可以不必一定坚持在买食物的时候为他们付款。D选项讲述了在上述的情况下,如果你坚持自己付款,可能会导致的不良结果:损伤他们的感情。
5.B【解析】上句提到无论你拜访的是谁,一定要让对方知道你很感激他们的盛情款待。B选项提出的正是表达这种感激的方式之一:在你离开的前一天晚上请对方吃一顿饭。而下一句提出的是另一种表达感激的方式:在离开的时候给他们送一些鲜花。
