The Best Films of 2022

Tar

Set in the international world of Western classical music, the film centers on Lydia Tar. She is widely considered as one of the greatest living composer-conductors and first-ever female music director of a German orchestra. It is an unfolding thriller about a brilliant artist who’s destroyed by her own appetites. So many of the people who see “Tar” come away believing that Lydia Tar actually exists.

The Fabelmans

Spiclberg was right to wait this long to tell the story of his youth on film. He has made a vivid and well-structured biography that looks back in love and anger. The movie not only aches at memories of watching the separation of his parents, but also tells teen tales of romance and prejudice. And we can feel Spielberg’s enthusiasm in the medium he would revolutionize.

Turn Every Page

If Lizzic Gottlicb’s documentary about Robert Caro and Robert Gottlicb were just a piece of good-old-days literary work, it wouldn’t be a deep and satisfying movie. Robert Caro, who is an outstanding author of “The Power Broker”, and Robert Gottlieb, the legendary editor who has guided all of Caro’s books, emerge as stimulating giants. What unites them is their devotion to the civilizing glory of the word.

The Musical

The plot of the movie is about Evan, a New York kid suffering from his parents’ divorce, as he tries to absorb himself into small-town Indiana and stage a successful Coming-of-Age Day. The more we see the movie directed by Tamra Davis, the more we will be addicted to the magic of the songs and the energy released by the musical sequences.

21. What is the setting of the first movie Tar?

A. Germany history. B. Literary world.

C. Classical music. D. Indiana culture.

22. Which movie would you choose if you like documentary?

A. Tar. B. The Musical.

C. Turn Every Page. D. The Fabelmans.

23. What do the movies The Fabelmans and The Musical have in common?

A. They are both shot in New York.

B. They focus on teenagers’ school life.

C. They are both biographies of the directors.

D. They show the influence of parents’ relationship.

B

Today, I’ve been recording an audiobook. I am excited that I have realized my life-long dream.

I will never forget at primary school I used to wait with breathless anticipation to take my turn reading out a paragraph of great works in front. At my secondary school, when students were encouraged to select and present a reading at “morning talk”, I often added my name to the list.

This was all handy background for my career in broadcasting. But, much as I enjoy hosting shows and interviewing people, I often find myself missing the simple pleasures of reading out loud. I’d thought about putting myself forward as a narrator for audiobooks. But I’m not an actor. I can’t do regional accents or play female voice. Non-fiction, then, seemed the obvious target, but I felt that such books were best read by their original authors. If it were authors’ own voice, their stories would touch me.

Recently, delivering my son’s nightly bedtime story has reawakened my love for reading out loud — highlights so far have included Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Charlotte’s Web. But I never thought I’d get the opportunity to do it professionally.

Then, last month, I was contacted by James Plunkett, writer of End State, a forthcoming book about political ideas. He had no desire to read his book out loud, but as a fan of my program, he thought I might do a reasonable job.

So, I’ve spent this week in a studio, simply reading stuff out loud. And I’m LOVING IT!

Mind you, it’s an entirely unexpected experience. It’s disheartening when the recording needs to be stopped because I’ve just carelessly skipped over a “the”, or had to clear my throat, or catch my breath. I’ve also learned how many words I’ve been mispronouncing my entire life: behavioural is BE-HAYVE-YOU-RAL, not BE-HAYVE-EE-AH-RUL.

Though tackling this 339-page book doesn’t turn out to be that easy, I’ve found the whole process awesome, and hope this becomes the first of many.

24. What does the author want to show by mentioning his experiences at school?

A. The power of dreaming.

B. His love for reading aloud.

C. The impact of schooling.

D. His talent for reading.

25. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 3?

A. He regrets being a TV host.

B. He has no taste for non-fiction.

C. He has rich acting experience.

D. He is aware of his disadvantages.

26. Why could the author get the job as a narrator?

A. He was specifically invited.

B. He applied for it in person.

C. He loved reading bedtime stories.

D. He had a big crowd of fans.

27. What does the author think of being a narrator?

A. Demanding but enjoyable.

B. Risky but fruitful.

C. Tiring but stress-free.

D. Boring but rewarding.

C

The climate crisis may lead the human race to shrink in size, as mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures, a leading fossil expert has said.

Prof Steve Brusatte, a palaeontologist (古生物学家) at the University of Edinburgh, suggested the way other mammals have previously responded to periods of climate change could offer an insight into humans’ future.

He described the potential plight (境况，困境) of people as similar to that of early horses, which became smaller in body size as temperatures rose around 55m years ago.

Writing in The Rise and Reign of the Mammals, Brusatte notes that animals in warmer parts of the world today are often smaller than those in colder areas, an ecological principle known as Bergmann’s rule. “The reasons are not entirely understood, but it is probably, in part, because smaller animals have a higher surface area relative to their volume than plumper animals and can thus better shed (去除) excess heat,” he writes.

Brusatte said that becoming smaller was “a common way that mammals deal with climate change”. He added: “That’s not to say every species of mammal would get smaller, but it seems to be a common survival trick of mammals when temperatures spike pretty quickly, which does raise the question: if temperatures do spike really quickly, might humans get smaller? And I think that’s certainly reasonable.

In a recent study, researchers studying human remains over the past million years have also suggested that temperature is a major predictor of body size variation, while scientists studying red deer have said that warmer winters in northern Europe and Scandinavia may lead to the body size of these animals becoming smaller.

However, not all experts agree that rising temperature causes mammals to shrink. Prof Adrian Lister, of the Natural History Museum in London, said the relationship shown by the recent human remains study is weak, while the strong correlations between temperature and mammal body size may often be down to the availability of food and resources.

Lister is also sceptical that humans will shrink as the climate heats. “We are not really controlled by natural selection,” he said. “If that was going to happen, you’d need to find large people dying before they could reproduce because of climate warming. That is not happening in today’s world. We wear clothes, we have got heating, and we have got air conditioning if it is too hot.”

28. According to Brusatte, early horses got smaller in body size in order to

A. keep warm B. avoid hunters C. stay cool D. keep balance

29. What does the underlined word “spike” probably mean?

A. Fall. B. Go up. C. Remain steady. D. Change.

30. What is the author’s attitude towards the new finding?

A. Objective. B. Indifferent. C. Confused. D. Positive.

31. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?

A. To demonstrate the relationship between nature and people’s lifestyle.

B. To cast light on the potential impact of changed mammal body size.

C. To introduce the correlations between climate change and human body size.

D. To warn people of the survival crisis mammals are faced with.

D

Thanks to in-depth reporting by the Wall Street Journal, we now know that Facebook has long been aware its product Instagram has harmful effects on the mental health of many adolescent users. Young girls, in particular, struggle with their body image thanks to a constant stream of photos and videos showing beautiful bodies that users don’t think they can attain.

While the information the Journal covered is essential and instructive, it does not tell the whole story. Deep down, this is not an Instagram problem; it’s a people problem. Understanding that distinction can make the difference between a failed attempt to contain a teen’s interest in an addictive app and successfully addressing the underlying problem leading to mental distress induced (诱发) by Instagram.

Critics were quick to shame Facebook for sitting on the data and not releasing it to researchers or academics who asked for it. Others criticize the social media giant for not using the research to create a safer experience for its teen users. The anger, while understandable, is misplaced.

While I’m reluctant to defend Facebook, I’m not sure it’s reasonable to blame the company for withholding data that would hurt its business. Have you ever binge-watched (狂看) a Netflix series? I assure you it wasn’t a healthy endeavor. You were in active, likely did nothing productive, mindlessly snacked and didn’t go outside for fresh air. It is an objectively harmful use of time to stare at a TV or laptop for a full weekend. Should we respond by shaming Netflix for not alerting us to how damaging an addictive product can be?

While it’s reasonable to say Instagram makes esteem issues worse, it strains credulity (夸张到难以置信) to believe it causes them in the first place. You create your own experiences on social media. For the most part, you choose which accounts to follow and engage. If you’re already vulnerable to insecurities and self-sabotage (自损) — as many teens are — you will find accounts to obsess over. And this isn’t a new phenomenon.

Before social media, there were similar issues fueling self-esteem issues. Whether the target be magazines, movies or television shows depicting difficult-to-attain bodies, there has been a relatively steady chorus (异口同声) of experts nothing the damage new media could cause young viewers.

Self-esteem issues have an underlying cause — one that’s independent of social media use. Instagram merely enhances those feelings because it provides infinitely more access to triggers than older forms of media. It’s more worthwhile to address those underlying factors rather than to attack Facebook.

32. The author thinks the criticisms against Instagram __________.

A. are successful attempts to change teens’ interest in addictive apps

B. address the Instagram - induced mental pain

C. are only based on the data released by Facebook

D. are not directed at the fundamental problem

33. Netflix is mentioned to __________.

A. compare the criticisms against it and Facebook

B. defend why Facebook is to blame

C. suggest the critics’ remarks are not to point

D. show Netflix does more harm to teens

34. The Instagram problem is essentially a “people problem” in that __________.

A. it is human nature to get addicted to social media

B. users decide on their experiences on social media

C. people have a tendency to feel insecure online

D. people are keen on fabricating their self - profile

35. What is the passage mainly about?

A. the unprecedented criticism facing Facebook

B. the alarming online habits of teenagers worldwide

C. the root cause of Instagram - induced mental strains

D. the harmful impact of Instagram on teenagers

67. 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。

For years, Levinson, an experienced teacher in a severely disadvantaged neighborhood, knew that her young students had it rough—some were homeless, many were in foster care, others were jammed into garages or single rooms with eight to ten other family members—so she made sure that she was good to them every holiday season.

It was hard to do on a teacher’s salary, but from the post-Thanksgiving return until the Christmas break, every day Levinson managed to bring the kids some little holiday gifts—a packet of sweets, a pencil, or something. No matter how small the gift, her students were always grateful. And there was a good chance it would outshine whatever their families could afford to give them.

Then the pandemic hit and the district switched to online learning. Zoom(视频会议软件) opened the educators’ eyes to many other physical hardships their students faced. For Levinson, it was a peek (窥视) behind the curtains into her students’ home lives—and what she saw broke her heart.

One kindergartner spent her daily six hours of Zoom squatting(蹲着) at the back of a store while her father worked. Others attended virtual class in the rooms where their families were temporarily sheltering. On screen, some students had several brothers and sisters in the background, all sharing one bed and doing online school for various grades. Levinson began to hear a common complaint that they’d be trying to type on the computer, and that their little fingers were cold. In the winter, the temperatures dropped to 14 degree below zero, and a lot of the kids were working in unheated spaces.

Levinson knew she had to do something. But on her limited means, how could she possibly keep all her students warm? She created a simple wish list on Amazon: a blanket for each student to drive away the cold. “Help Keep My Students Warm and Bundled on Zoom,” she wrote. Her plea (请求) had spread rapidly.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Levinson started receiving donations from kind persons.
