      Rsamund Pike Shines in Flawed Marie Curie Bipic
      Rsamund Pike delivered ne f the mst accmplished perfrmances f the past few years in 2018’s A Private War. in which she played jurnalist Marie Clvin. In Radiactive, Pike brings the same level f stable cmmitment t an alternately fascinating and disappinting bipic (传记片) abut French scientist Marie Curie.
      Based n Lauren Redniss’s graphic nvel, Radiactive cvers the well-knwn achievements f Marie Curie: her Nbel Prize wins fr discvering radium and plnium, and her grundbreaking research n radiactivity. Fr thse unfamiliar with her persnal life, the film reveals lesser-knwn aspects, including her passinate partnership with her husband Pierre, a scandalus affair that damaged her reputatin, and her Plish rts, which made her an utsider in Paris. Thugh nt an activist, Curie’s determinatin t be respected in a male-dminated scientific wrld aligns with early feminist ideals.
      Directed by Marjane Satrapi (knwn fr Perseplis), Radiactive attempts t translate the bld visuals and narrative style f a graphic nvel int live-actin, with mixed results. The film is visually strikine. thanks t Anthny Dd Mantle’s cinematgraphy—the glwing green radium is bth mesmerizing and minus. Yet, the strytelling falters when Satrapi inserts surreal time jumps, shwing hw Curie’s discveries later influenced bth medicine and warfare.
      Pike delivers a strng perfrmance, prtraying Curie as brilliant but difficult—admirable yet nt always likable. Hwever, the film struggles with its uneven structure, shifting between bigraphy and symblic scenes that feel ut f place. The irny f Curie’s stry is that she hated suffering, yet her wrk led t bth life-saving treatments and destructive weapns.
      Ultimately, Radiactive’s biggest flaw may be its surce material. The episdic, fragmented style f the graphic nvel desn’t fully translate t film, leaving the stry feeling uneven. While Pike’s perfrmance and Curie’s remarkable life make the mvie wrth watching, the executin falls shrt f its ptential.
      46. Accrding t Paragraph 1, what is the authr’s attitude tward Rsarnund Pike’s perfrmance in Radiactive?
      A. Appreciative.B. Disappinted.C. Vague.D. Unexpected.

      C. It has laid a fundatin fr the cming feminist revlutin.

      48. Marie Curie’s character in Radiactiveis ______

      B. it was adapted frm a graphic nvel.

The internatinal frum is amng a series f dialgues initiated by the Wrld Turism Alliance funded in 2017.

      “The best prtectin f ICH is t incrprate it int peple’s mdern lives. An influx f turists brings a greater need fr ICH, which imprves its ecsystem and gives it a new lease n life,” Wang said.

      【3题详解】
      考查动词时态。句意:自20世纪80年代以来,悲伤和孤独等情绪在歌词中变得更加常见,而纯粹的快乐情绪在排行榜热门歌曲中出现的频率则低得多。根据Since the 1980s可知,此处应用现在完成时,主语feelings是复数,助动词用have,becme“变得”的过去分词是becme。故填have becme。

      【7题详解】
      考查宾语从句。句意:那些流媒体使用较少且可能不那么焦虑的年长听众,在什么会流行起来这件事上话语权较少。本空引导宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,表示“什么”,应用连接代词what引导。故填what。
      【8题详解】
      考查让步状语从句。句意:尽管政治事件并不总是在抗议歌曲中被直接提及,但它们仍然可能影响整体氛围。前后句意存在让步关系,应用althugh/thugh/while“虽然”引导让步状语从句,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Althugh/Thugh/While。
      【9题详解】
      考查情态动词。句意:这种趋势可能会因现代歌曲通常由创作团队创作而得到加强。此处表示推测,意为“可能”用might或may。故填might或may。

      Rsamund Pike Shines in Flawed Marie Curie Bipic
      Rsamund Pike delivered ne f the mst accmplished perfrmances f the past few years in 2018’s A Private War. in which she played jurnalist Marie Clvin. In Radiactive, Pike brings the same level f stable cmmitment t an alternately fascinating and disappinting bipic (传记片) abut French scientist Marie Curie.
      Based n Lauren Redniss’s graphic nvel, Radiactive cvers the well-knwn achievements f Marie Curie: her Nbel Prize wins fr discvering radium and plnium, and her grundbreaking research n radiactivity. Fr thse unfamiliar with her persnal life, the film reveals lesser-knwn aspects, including her passinate partnership with her husband Pierre, a scandalus affair that damaged her reputatin, and her Plish rts, which made her an utsider in Paris. Thugh nt an activist, Curie’s determinatin t be respected in a male-dminated scientific wrld aligns with early feminist ideals.
      Directed by Marjane Satrapi (knwn fr Perseplis), Radiactive attempts t translate the bld visuals and narrative style f a graphic nvel int live-actin, with mixed results. The film is visually strikine. thanks t Anthny Dd Mantle’s cinematgraphy—the glwing green radium is bth mesmerizing and minus. Yet, the strytelling falters when Satrapi inserts surreal time jumps, shwing hw Curie’s discveries later influenced bth medicine and warfare.
      Pike delivers a strng perfrmance, prtraying Curie as brilliant but difficult—admirable yet nt always likable. Hwever, the film struggles with its uneven structure, shifting between bigraphy and symblic scenes that feel ut f place. The irny f Curie’s stry is that she hated suffering, yet her wrk led t bth life-saving treatments and destructive weapns.
      Ultimately, Radiactive’s biggest flaw may be its surce material. The episdic, fragmented style f the graphic nvel desn’t fully translate t film, leaving the stry feeling uneven. While Pike’s perfrmance and Curie’s remarkable life make the mvie wrth watching, the executin falls shrt f its ptential.
      46. Accrding t Paragraph 1, what is the authr’s attitude tward Rsarnund Pike’s perfrmance in Radiactive?
      A. Appreciative.B. Disappinted.C. Vague.D. Unexpected.

      C. It has laid a fundatin fr the cming feminist revlutin.
      D. It mainly tells Marie Curie’s lve stry with her husband.
      48. Marie Curie’s character in Radiactiveis ______
      A. adrable.B. brilliant.C. cntrversial.D. shallw.
      49. We learn frm the last paragraph that ne f the reasns fr the prblems f Radiactive is______

      B. it was adapted frm a graphic nvel.

Thse invlved were asked a series f questins such as hw they feel when they receive a math textbk r when they walk int a math lessn.
      Based n their answers, participants were divided int tw grups. One grup was made up f peple wh were particularly afraid f math and participants in the ther grup were mre cmfrtable with the subject. Bth grups were then given either math tasks r wrd tasks. When a math task was ging t cme next, a yellw circle wuld appear but when a wrd task was sn t cme, a blue square wuld be shwn.
      ____57____ It was like the pain they wuld feel, fr example, if they burnt their hand n a ht stve. But they reacted less strngly when they knew that they wuld be faced with a wrd task. Hwever, scientists saw n strng brain respnse frm peple in the secnd grup.
      Math can be difficult, and fr thse with high levels f mathematics-anxiety, math is assciated with tensin, apprehensin and fear. “When yu are really thinking abut math prblems, yur mind is racing and yu are wrrying abut all the things that culd g wrng,” explained Ian Lyns frm the University f Chicag, Icader f the study. ____58____
      Mre interestingly, brain activity disappeared when participants actually started dealing with the math tasks. ____59____ Based n the study, scientists suggested that things culd be dne t help students wrry less and mve past their fear f math, which might mean they perfrm better in tests.
      A. This means that it’s nt that math itself hurts; rather, the anticipatin f math is painful.
      B. Researchers have develped mind-reading device that can retrieve images frm the persn’s memry with the help f scans.
      C. Fr mst students, math can be tugh, but scientists have prved that math prblems can actually trigger physical pain.
      D. Using a brain-scanning machine scientists nticed that whenever peple frm Grup One saw a yellw circle, their brain wuld respnd in a way similar t when their bdy is feeling pain.
      E. The higher a persn’s anxiety f a math task, the mre he activated brain regins assciated with threat detectin, and the experience f pain.
      F. Mst students, especially girls, are extremely scared f math.
      【答案】56. C 57. D 58. E 59. A
      【解析】
      【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家通过实验发现数学焦虑会引发类似生理疼痛的大脑反应,但实际解题时这种反应会消失。
      【56题详解】
      由上文“Des slving a math prblem give yu a headache? D yu feel nervus when yu sit a math exam? (解数学题会让你头疼吗?当你参加数学考试时你会感到紧张吗?)”及下文“Scientists came t this cnclusin with an in-depth experiment, which was published in Public Library f Science One. They began by finding ut hw much participants fear math. (科学家们通过一项深入的实验得出了这个结论,该实验发表在《公共科学图书馆·综合》上。他们首先弄清楚参与者对数学的恐惧程度)”可知,上文提出关于数学的问题,下文说科学家的实验结论,本空应是对上文问题的回应并引出实验结论。C选项“Fr mst students, math can be tugh, but scientists have prved that math prblems can actually trigger physical pain. (对大多数学生来说,数学可能很难,但科学家已经证明,数学问题实际上会引发身体疼痛)”既回应了上文问题,又引出了下文实验结论,符合题意。故选C。
      【57题详解】
      由上文“Bth grups were then given either math tasks r wrd tasks. When a math task was ging t cme next, a yellw circle wuld appear but when a wrd task was sn t cme, a blue square wuld be shwn. (然后给两组参与者分别布置数学任务或文字任务。当下一个任务是数学任务时,会出现一个黄色的圆圈,但当下一个任务是文字任务时,会出现一个蓝色的正方形)”及下文“It was like the pain they wuld feel, fr example, if they burnt their hand n a ht stve. But they reacted less strngly when they knew that they wuld be faced with a wrd task. (这就像他们会感受到的疼痛,例如,如果他们的手在热炉子上烫伤了。但当他们知道自己将面临一项文字任务时,他们的反应就不那么强烈了)”可知,上文提到不同任务的提示,下文说面对不同任务的反应,本空应是关于看到任务提示时的具体反应。D选项“Using a brain-scanning machine, scientists nticed that whenever peple frm Grup One saw a yellw circle, their brain wuld respnd in a way similar t when their bdy is feeling pain. (使用脑部扫描机器,科学家们注意到,每当第一组的人看到一个黄色圆圈时,他们的大脑反应方式类似于他们身体感到疼痛时的反应)”能承上启下,符合题意。故选D。
      【58题详解】
      由上文“Math can be difficult, and fr thse with high levels f mathematics-anxiety, math is assciated with tensin, apprehensin and fear. “When yu are really thinking abut math prblems, yur mind is racing and yu are wrrying abut all the things that culd g wrng,” explained Ian Lyns frm the University f Chicag, leader f the study. (数学可能很难,对于那些有高度数学焦虑的人来说,数学与紧张、忧虑和恐惧联系在一起。“当你真正思考数学问题时,你的大脑在飞速运转,你在担心所有可能出错的事情,” 该研究的负责人、芝加哥大学的伊恩・莱昂斯解释道)”可知,上文在阐述数学焦虑的人的情况,本空应进一步说明数学焦虑与人的大脑和疼痛感受之间的关系。E选项“The higher a persn’s anxiety f a math task, the mre he activated brain regins assciated with threat detectin, and the experience f pain. (一个人对数学任务的焦虑程度越高,他与威胁检测和疼痛体验相关的大脑区域就越活跃)”能承接上文,符合语境。故选E。
      【59题详解】
      由上文“Mre interestingly, brain activity disappeared when participants actually started dealing with the math tasks. (更有趣的是,当参与者真正开始处理数学任务时,大脑活动消失了)”及下文“Based n the study, scientists suggested that things culd be dne t help students wrry less and mve past their fear f math, which might mean they perfrm better in tests. (基于这项研究,科学家们建议可以采取一些措施来帮助学生减少担忧,克服对数学的恐惧,这可能意味着他们在考试中表现得更好)”可知,上文说开始做数学任务时大脑活动消失,下文说应对措施,本空应是对上文现象的总结和解释。A选项“This means that it’s nt that math itself hurts; rather, the anticipatin f math is painful. (这意味着不是数学本身让人痛苦;而是对数学的预期是痛苦的)”能承上启下,符合语境。故选A。
