26、The 3 Best Marvel Films-ranked
It seems that ranking films well is always a tough task. In the hearts of millions of fans, everyone has his own choice. Superhero films are even more so. Recently, The Guardian has chosen three of the most popular Marvel films.
0.3 Blade Ⅱ(2002)
This film continues the story of an earlier 1998’s Blade and is directed by Guillermo. The story once again concerns the mysterious day walker, played by Wesley Snipes. It is an action film full of high technology and the fighting scenes Guillermo expresses are horribly exciting. Not a typical superhero film, in many ways, but a great one.
No. 2 Black Panther (2018)
This superb film is an entertaining adventure, with a richer component (成分) of fantasy than the other Marvel films. The character of Black Panther is recognized as one of Marvel’s greatest heroes. It is a big hit across the board. It also employs Rachel Morrison who is MCU’S first woman cinematographer, a photographer who operates a movie camera. Marvel Studios’ president, Kevin Feige, has promised to get more women writers and directors on board. So far, the only Marvel female writer is Nicole Perlman for Guardians of the Galaxy.
NO 1 Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
It is smart, visually exciting and perhaps above all, funny. And it's funny in a way that only Marvel films can be. It suggests that to some degree comedy can be an important part of the drama. Taika Waititi was an inspired choice as director. Hemsworth plays the role of Thor and Cate Blanchett plays Hela, the goddess of death who also happens to be Thor’s half sister.
【1】Which film is the most popular one according to The Guardian?
A.Blade Ⅱ. B.Black Panther.
C.Guardians of the Galaxy. D.Thor: Ragnarok.

29、The population of the capital Luxembourg City doubles every working day thanks to the flood of workers, and in the morning and evening rush hours, there often comes traffic block. It’s a familiar difficult problem but here they’ve come up with a novel solution.
From next year public transport will be free for everyone. The number of people taking the public transport is far from what is expected and so this idea has been brought up, which of course results in some argument.
This is what’s being built, a new tram system that will link trains in park-and-ride programs designed to make free public transport smooth and attractive. This is a big attempt by the Luxembourg government into whether people can be made to change the way they behave, because free public transport is great for existing commuters. But the question is whether drivers can be persuaded to change their cars and traffic jams for commuting on public transport.
The designer firmly believes the system is so good and effective. Everyone will want to use it. Everyone can use it, young or old, rich or poor, and everyone can say to themselves it’s better to leave the car at home. But others consider it questionable.
Taxi drivers don’t seem worried about trams stealing their trade. Businessmen who come here are never going to take public transport. They’ll take a taxi because they have meetings to get to.
So Luxembourg’s plan is really a test, and it’s one that plenty of bigger nations will be watching. As we know, the way we move around shapes our cities, our lives, our work and our environment. Luxembourg is a very small country but this could be a very big idea.
【1】Why does Luxembourg City plan to make public transport free?
A．To reduce traffic jams.
B．To attract more businessmen.
C．To encourage people to avoid rush hours.
D．To help its citizens travel more comfortably.
【2】What can we infer about the result of the plan?
A．Taxi drivers’ business will be badly affected.
B．More people will choose to drive to and from work.
C．People’s daily behavior will be completely changed.
D．Taking public transport can save money for commuters.
【3】How does the designer feel about the system?
A．Hopeless.
B．Concerned.
C．Confident.
D．Regretful.
【4】What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A．To list the traffic problems Luxembourg faces.
B．To show how Luxembourg controls its population.
C．To give people advice on how to get around Luxembourg.
D．To introduce Luxembourg’s new public transport measure.
