Four of the Most Magical Movies from Your Childhood
Whether it was the enchanting characters, the memorable scenes or simply because it was the first film your mum or dad took you to, these are the movies that have left the most lasting impressions over the decades.
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
“I loved it for two reasons. First, it showed a wonderful, loving extended family. I was fascinated by their kitchen setting and the little corner where the boy Charlie slept. Second, inside the chocolate factory was what all children dreamed of. The whole movie transported me from my childhood worries into a fairyland world. ” — Margaret McKee
Dumbo
“For a kid who often felt like he didn’t fit in, and wasn’t good at anything, it was magical to see Dumbo discover his talent and become loved and celebrated. ” — Lorraine
The Never-ending Story
“It has to be the most magical movie. The story has everything a young kid can ask for: a great story, a mythical flying dog and an interesting ending. Our family continue to watch it today. ” — Aaron Elliott
The Sound of Music
“When I was young, movies were a treat, with lollies, friends and a canvas seat. There was a special one that I did adore, and many times I’ve gone back for more. The songs, the scenery and the story line always transport me to another time. It is such a classic that my memories of it are so fantastic. ” — Joanne Carter
21. What is “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory” about?
A. A dangerous situation.
B. A fairyland world.
C. A mysterious friend.
D. An unexpected incident.
22. Which movie may most help children lacking confidence?
A. Dumbo.
B. The Never-ending Story.
C. The Sound of Music.
D. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
23. What does Aaron Elliott think of “The Never-ending Story”?
A. It is full of unrealistic things.
B. It meets all his expectations.
C. It influences people of all ages.
D. It is the most meaningful movie.
B
Even when communing with nature we depend on technology for help — but then, so did Thoreau (梭罗) at Walden Pond (瓦尔登湖).
Walking in the same woods yesterday, I let myself wander at random, communing with nature.
I took in beautiful scenery near and far thanks to my progressive-lens eyeglasses. Occasionally I’d pull out my smartphone to take pictures on anything interesting. I recorded an inner monologue with a background of all sounds of the forest. At times, I consulted my smart watch to check on my heartbeat, mileage and calorie burn. Eventually I realized I was quite lost. Not a problem of course. Online maps came to my rescue.
But something bothered me. In what I’d intended as a nature experience, here I was using very high technology to help myself out. This insight triggered a reconsideration of everything that happened during my “nature walk,” which had been technologically enhanced every step of the way. I’d been functioning as a man-machine combination: a cyborg.
What would the true naturalist Thoreau think of that? My first thought was that he’d be shocked. But later I did some research. Thoreau enjoyed what his spyglass discovered, like this eagle from his journal:
Lying on the ground with my glass, I could watch him very easily . . . till I almost lost him in the clouds . . . I think I have got the worth of my glass now that it has revealed to me the white-headed eagle.
Famously, Thoreau always set out equipped with a walking stick, which he used not only for support but also to take measurements of water and snow levels. His hat was also a tool, which he called his “botany-box. ” And he was prepared even with needles and thread, so when coming out of the woods, he was “the best dressed. ” Clearly, Thoreau was a bit of a cyborg himself.
Thinking more deeply, I realized we’ve come a long way from our hunter-gatherer ancestors, who walked from necessity and relied on nature’s gift. Cyborgs are us.
24. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To recommend Thoreau’s book Walden Pond.
B. To argue that humans have developed into cyborgs.
C. To share the reflections on man’s reliance on nature.
D. To question whether people are technology-dependent.
25. Which picture best illustrates a cyborg in the author’s eye?
A． B． C． D．
26. Why does the author quote Thoreau’s journal?
A. To introduce a literary work on nature.
B. To explain how to prepare for a nature walk.
C. To prove that even naturalists use technology.
D. To describe the natural beauty Thoreau enjoyed.
27. What is the author’s attitude towards being a cyborg?
A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
C
Typically, a person sitting in the driver’s seat of a car opens the door with the hand closest to it. It makes sense since doors are designed to be opened that way. Pull the handle and immediately the door is open. But if you happen to do that at the wrong time, you may create an obstacle (障碍) for a passing cyclist without knowing it. Then the cyclist will be sent falling off the bike, and the car door is likely to be damaged by the fast-moving bicycle.
Obviously the solution is for the person getting out of the vehicle to check for oncoming traffic, but car door design and long-time habits have made the process instinctual. Luckily, there’s a simple way to solve the problem: the Dutch reach. In other words, instead of using your left hand, reach for the door latch (门锁) with your right hand. This will force you to turn your body. At least, you’ll look into your side view mirror to see whether any car or bike is coming.
“It’s just what Dutch people do,” said Fred Wegman, the former managing director of the National Institute for Road Safety Research in the Netherlands. “All the Dutch are taught it. It’s part of regular driver education. ”
The technique dates back about 50 or 60 years, and it was very popular between the 1960s and the 1980s. But it didn’t really become known as the Dutch reach until a retired American physician named Michael Charney started the Dutch Reach Project in 2016 in an effort to popularize the practice in the United States and beyond. According to The Times, he was motivated by the death of a 27-year- old who rode into an open car door and died just five blocks from his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Charney’s efforts may be paying off. Both Massachusetts and Illinois now include the Dutch reach in their drivers’ manuals (手册).
28. What is the first paragraph intended to show?
A. The poor design of the car door and handle.
B. A common conflict between cars and bicycles.
C. A main cause of traffic accidents linked to cyclists.
D. Potential risks associated with opening the car door.
29. What does the underlined word “instinctual” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Complex. B. Possible. C. Natural. D. Dangerous.
30. How does the Dutch reach help to reduce traffic accidents?
A. By making the person open the car door more easily.
B. By forcing the person to check for approaching traffic.
C. By reminding the person of the traffic lights frequently.
D. By helping the person see the side view mirror more clearly.
31. What made Charney introduce the Dutch reach into America?
A. Its popularity among Dutch people.
B. Its appearance in drivers’ manuals.
C. A project launched in the year 2016.
D. The death caused by a traffic accident.
D
Most people have no idea what to do with their old drugs. Unused or expired（到期的） medicines lying around at home can get into the wrong hands, leading to accidental poisoning or drug overdose. When drugs are flushed or sent to landfill, the medicines can pollute our groundwater,rivers,and streams,threatening human and sea life.
In an effort to find a solution for drugs kept in medicine boxes or waterways, the U. S. Drug Enforcement Administration launched its first National Take-Back Day in September 2010. In the drug take-back program, the returned drugs are sent to medical waste incinerators （焚烧炉）. However, the process of transporting and burning such waste can release green-house gas emissions that could be potentially greater than those generated if the drugs were poured into landfills.
“But take-back programs are preferred as they reduce the risk of drug misuse and the incineration effectively eliminates the entrance of these medicines into our nation's waters,” says Tim Carroll, a spokesperson for the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Perhaps surprisingly, not all unused medicines need to be thrown away. Every year five billion dollars' worth of unexpired medicines end up being deserted in the U. S. “ We're wasting a lot of medicines which are already paid for," says Anandi Law, a patient engagement specialist . “Millions of U. S. adults skip or delay getting their prescriptions filled due to high costs. We could give them to somebody else who needs it. ”
Now, at least 40 states have passed legislation establishing drug donation programs that allow drug manufacturers, medical and long-term care facilities, and sometimes individuals to donate their unused drugs. For example,since its start in 2007, lowa's program, SafeNetRx, has served more than 117,000 patients and redistributed nearly 54-million-dollar worth of medicines and supplies. Georgia's program formally launched in 2018, and it has already filled prescriptions worth over 50 million dollars.
“All of these efforts are still relatively new,” Carroll says. “We still have a long way to go until households change their habits. ”
32. What disadvantage of the drug take-back program is mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. It costs large amounts of money.
B. It increases the greenhouse effect.
C. It can produce poisonous chemicals.
D. It wastes lots of energy to deal with old drugs.
33. What is Tim Carroll's attitude towards the take-back program?
A. Cautious.
B. Indifferent.
C. Supportive.
D. Disapproving.
34. What is Anandi Law's suggestion about unused and unexpired medicines?
A. Sending them to landfills.
B. Selling them at a low price.
C. Donating them to someone in need.
D. Developing technologies to recycle them.
35. What do the numbers in paragraph 5 mainly indicate?
A. The challenging task of SafeNetRx.
B. The expense of recycling unused drugs.
C. The significance of health care facilities.
D. The achievements of drug donation programs.

Is Managing Kids' Screen Time a Good Idea?
Screen time is a big topic of conversation in today's households, particularly during the pandemic when online education hours have multiplied for many students. 36 . They hope to spare their kids from the countless challenges that technology can bring. Yet the challenges of screen time overuse seldom come from kids' devices themselves, but rather from the tense relationships that technology can bring to families. 37 . But technology has positive benefits too. Since every child and family is different, managing screen time calls for joint family decision-making.
If parents believe they can manage a child's screen time through adolescence, they are not only fooling themselves but also inviting relationship trouble with their teens. It is a myth to think that parents can or should manage their kids' screen time through authoritarian restrictions, even during elementary school. 38 . When children are left out of those decisions, they often become less communicative with parents and siblings. This is the opposite of what parents want to achieve.
39 . From early ages, children are quite capable of understanding that a good life involves awareness and balance. Just as they learn right from wrong, and good from bad, they can also learn to use technology in healthy ways. Learning how to regulate oneself and develop healthy behaviors is one of the primary tasks of childhood and adolescence. What happens when an adult tries to regulate a child is that the child misses out on the opportunity to learn for themselves. Enforced restrictions can also make children feel helpless and less confident.
To be clear, this article is not suggesting that families never use apps or trackers, or that there should be no restrictions on screen time. 40 . Parents should give voice to children and involve them in the planning and decision-making process.
A. Of course, there are websites that are unhealthy for kids to access.
B. The alternative is to involve children in decisions that govern screen time.
C. However, every family needs a family media plan between family members.
D. The goal is to see, hear, feel, and understand how children view screen time.
E. To manage children's screen time, parents have invested in apps and trackers.
F. To get children involved, parents should trust and develop kids’ self-awareness.
G. What it is suggesting is that parents look at managing screen time in a different way.

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。
It was not uncommon to see a person like me in an amusement park, who held purses, cellphones and sunglasses while others enjoyed themselves riding roller coasters. I admitted their courage, but refused to challenge myself.
One day when we were at the Happy Amusement Park in Seattle, my friends tried to get me to ride a roller coaster. But the click, click, click of the cars climbing up the tracks made me scared. The stop at the top, before falling with people's screams, seemed terrible.
My friends were still trying to persuade me, and I was saying no as usual, when I suddenly saw a familiar face, one I had never seen in real life. It was Raine, a popular young tennis star at the top of her game, who was my heroine. I pulled out a pen and the only paper that I could find and walked to her.
She was making her way through a rope that led to a ride called the Loudest Scream. I was running fast because I didn't want to miss the chance to meet her face to face, but I was also a bit nervous. So I waited at the exit to calm down and get closer to her as she came off the ride.
Several minutes later, she got out from the exit, laughing and talking with her brother. I focused on her walking toward me. She walked past. It was more difficult to talk to a star than I thought, but I had to take the chance. I called her name, not very confidently, but more like a question, “Raine?” She turned around. Our eyes actually met. “Would you mind signing for me?” I asked, handing the pen and paper toward her. Her hand wrote over the paper and she said, “You are the first person who has recognized me in the park so let's take a roller coaster together. ”
Paragraph 1:
Her warm invitation actually filled me with mixed feelings.




Paragraph 2:
My friend came up and asked, “Are you sure you will take the Loudest Scream?”

写作一
Good evening, everyone!
I am Li Hua. My dream is to be a writer. A writer is a transmitter of ideas, a critic of morality, and a positive energy that awakens people. I dream of one day being able to write a heart-pounding text that locks all my joys and sorrows. One day I will become a writer like Mo Yan and win the Nobel Prize for literature, winning honour for our country. In order to realize my dream, I must insist on writing, study hard and be admitted to my ideal university, which will lay a solid foundation for realizing my dream of being a writer. I believe that as long as I don’t give up, my dream will come true.
That’s all. Thank you for your listening.
写作二One possible version:
Her warm invitation actually filled me with mixed feelings. On the one hand, I felt extremely excited that I was the only fan who got the priceless opportunity. I admired Raine very much and was eager to stay with her a little longer. On the other hand, I was scared of riding a roller coaster. The thought of having a try nearly pushed me to the verge of collapse. However, I must take the chance and it didn’t take much time to make my final decision. Mustering my courage, I nodded firmly and went to the roller coaster with her.
My friend came up and asked, “Are you sure you will take the Loudest Scream?” “Yes,” I answered without hesitation. She was rather surprised, with her mouth open and eyes widened. After all, she had spent years trying to persuade me but in vain. Fears of heights and moving too fast seemed unimportant to me now. Although I screamed during the entire time like a girl being chased by a hungry wolf, spending a good time with my idol made all of it worthwhile and my fear was miraculously overcome. And since then, I have lived in a world where I am a bit braver.
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在游乐场的一次经历。在游乐场一向害怕去玩过山车的作者和朋友一起去了西雅图的快乐游乐园，偶遇了自己心目中的英雄——网球明星Raine，不想错过能与她面对面交流的机会，作者鼓足勇气索要签名，而Raine则向作者提出一起坐过山车的提议。

①由第一段首句内容“她的热情邀请实际上使我百感交集。”可知，第一段可描写作者复杂的心情，一方面想要抓住能与她多呆一会儿的机会，另一方面讲述自己对于过山车的害怕，但最终还是会答应她的邀请。
②由第二段首句内容“我的朋友走过来问：‘你确定要坐过山车吗？’”可知，第二段可描写朋友对于我要坐过山车的惊讶和作者坐上过山车之后的感受，以及心境变化，不再害怕，变得勇敢。

A篇解析
这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四部童年时期最神奇的电影，并介绍了人们喜欢它们的原因。
1. 细节理解题。根据Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory中“The whole movie transported me from my childhood worries into a fairyland world. (整部电影把我从童年的烦恼带入了童话世界)”由此可知，电影Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory和童话世界有关。故选B。
2. 细节理解题。根据Dumbo中“For a kid who often felt like he didn’t fit in, and wasn’t good at anything, it was magical to see Dumbo discover his talent and become loved and celebrated. (对于一个经常觉得自己格格不入、什么都不擅长的孩子来说，看到小飞象发现自己的天赋、受到爱戴和赞扬，真不可思议)”由此可知，电影Dumbo也许最能帮助缺乏自信的孩子。故选A。
3. 推理判断题。根据The Never-ending Story中“The story has everything a young kid can ask for: a great story, a mythical flying dog and an interesting ending. (这个故事有一个小孩子想要的一切：一个伟大的故事，一个神秘的飞行狗和一个有趣的结局)”可推知，Aaron Elliott认为电影The Never-ending Story满足了他所有的期望。故选B。
B篇解析
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者通过分析我们人类对技术的依赖，并引用自然学家梭罗的事例，说明了我们人类已进化成半机械人。
1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Even when communing with nature we depend on technology for help — but then, so did Thoreau (梭罗) at Walden Pond (瓦尔登湖). (即使在与自然交流时，我们也依赖技术来帮助——但是，沃尔登湖的梭罗也是如此)”可知，我们都是依赖技术的，自然学家梭罗也是如此；再根据文章最后一段“Thinking more deeply, I realized we’ve come a long way from our hunter-gatherer ancestors, who walked from necessity and relied on nature’s gift. Cyborgs are us. (更深入地思考，我意识到我们已经从狩猎采集的祖先那里走了很长一段路，他们从需要出发，依靠大自然的恩赐。半机械人就是我们)”可推知，本文的目的是为了说明人类已经进化为半机械人。故选B项。
2．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“This insight triggered a reconsideration of everything that happened during my “nature walk”，which had been technologically enhanced every step of the way. I’d been functioning as a man-machine combination: a cyborg. (这一见解引发了我对“自然漫步”中发生的一切的重新思考，“自然漫步”的每一步都得到了技术的强化。 我一直扮演着人机结合的角色:一个半机械人)”可知，作者眼中的半机械人应该是人机结合，选项C的图片中即有人又有机器，符合题意。故选C项。
3．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“But later I did some research. Thoreau enjoyed what his spyglass discovered, like this eagle from his journal(但后来我做了一些研究。梭罗喜欢望远镜的发现，就像日记里的这只鹰)”和第六段“I think I have got the worth of my glass now that it has revealed to me the white-headed eagle. (我想我已经得到了我的望远镜的价值，因为它让我看到了白头鹰)”可知，自然学家梭罗是肯定了望远镜的作用，所以作者引用梭罗的日记是为了证明即使是自然学家也会使用科技。故选C项。
4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Thinking more deeply, I realized we’ve come a long way from our hunter-gatherer ancestors, who walked from necessity and relied on nature’s gift. Cyborgs are us. (更深入地思考，我意识到我们已经从狩猎采集的祖先那里走了很长一段路，他们从需要出发，依靠大自然的恩赐。半机械人就是我们)”可知，作者对半机械化人的态度是赞成的。故选A项。
C篇解析
【导语】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了"Dutch reach"不是一个新的舞蹈动作，也不是一个随机的YouTube挑战。这是一个简单的动作，可以帮助防止对骑自行车的人造成伤害。在这个过程中，你也可以保证车门的安全。
1．主旨大意题。根据第一段的But if you happen to do that at the wrong time, you may create an obstacle for a passing cyclist without knowing it. Then the cyclist will be sent falling off the bike, and the car door is likely to be damaged by the fast-moving bicycle. (但如果你碰巧在错误的时间这样做，你可能会在不知情的情况下给经过的骑车人制造障碍，然后骑车人会从自行车上摔下来，车门很可能会被快速行驶的自行车损坏。)可知，本段主要说明了错误的开车门会导致事故。D. Possible risks connected with opening the car door. (与开车门相关的潜在危险)符合以上说法，故选D项。
2．词义猜测题．根据划线词所在句子The car door design and long-time habits have made the process instinctual but clearly the solution is for the person getting out of the vehicle to check for traffic. 可知，车门的设计和长期的习惯使得这个过程是instinctual，但很明显，解决方法是让下车的人检查交通状况。根据句意，尤其是long-time habits 可推测划线部分的意思是“本能的”。C.

The death caused by a traffic accident. (一场交通事故造成的死亡)符合以上说法，故选D项。
