21、The 4 movies released in April
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore
In the third of five planned Fantastic Beasts films, Albus Dumbledore and Newt Scamander fight with the dark forces of Gellert Grindelwald in the 1930s. Several scenes are set at Hogwarts, so they could reproduce some of the old magic.
It was released on 15 April in the US and Canada.
Petite Maman
The heroine of Petite Maman is eight-year-old Nelly. After her grandmother’s death, Nelly plays in the woods near her mother’s childhood home, and meets Marion. They play together every day. This astonishingly insightful and heartbreakingly hopeful cinematic poem will pierce your heart, broaden your mind and delight your soul, even as you wipe away tears.
It was released on 22 April in the US.
Downton Abbey: A New Era
BBC Culture’s Caryn James enjoyed the “elegance and glittering production values” of the first Downton Abbey film, which was released in 2019. This film is the sequel (续集) of it.
It was released on 29 April in the UK and Ireland.
Operation Mincemeat
This stranger-than-fiction film tells the story which happened during World War Ⅱ. It sounds like the plot of a far fetched espionage (间谍) novel rather than a real-life story, because one of the officers behind the plan was Lieutenant Commander Ian Fleming, later the author of the James Bond novels.
It was released on 15 April in the UK and Ireland.

22、If you were to throw, say a banana peel out of your car while driving along the motorway, that would be a completely harmless action, due to the fact that it’s part of a fruit — right? Actually, no. A banana peel can take up to two years to biodegrade, and with a third of motorists admitting to littering while driving, that’s a whole lot of thrown-away banana peels, or much worse. An orange peel and a cigarette butt have a similar biodegrading term to that of a banana, but tin or aluminum cans last up to 100 years; and plastic bottles last forever, as do glass bottles, Styrofoam cups and plastic bags.
Despite the fact that longer-lasting materials will serve to damage the environment and its animals for longer, we can’t only measure the severity of a certain type of rubbish by its lifetime. For example, despite having a fairly short biodegrading span, more than 120 tons of cigarette-related litter is thrown away in the UK every day. Similarly, our regular littering here and there has caused the UK’s rat population to increase by 60 million. This suddenly isn’t so mysterious when you consider that since the 1960s our annual littering has increased by an astonishing 500 percent.
It’s not a cheap habit either: UK taxpayers shelve out £500 million in order to keep our streets clean, and when you include our green spaces, that goes up to £1 billion. So, it’s not surprising that if caught fly-tipping you could face a £20,000 fine or even jail time and, if you disposed of something dangerous, the court could give you five years to serve.
To take back our beautiful countryside and cities we need to do more than simply not leaving rubbish where it ought not to be. We need a pride makeover. We need to truly care more about the world around us.
【1】Which of the following have the longest biodegrading term?
A．Cigarette butts.
B．Glass bottles.
C．Orange peels.
D．Aluminum cans.
【2】What does the underlined word “severity” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Seriousness.
B．Effect.
C．Variety.
D．Quantity.
【3】How is Paragraph 3 developed?
A．By providing statistics.
B．By drawing comparison.
C．By making a summary.
D．By explaining a concept.
【4】Where is the text most likely from?
A．A research paper.
B．A medical journal.
C．A science magazine.
D．A financial newspaper.
23、The West is full of fast food and large amounts of food which contribute to many women’s being fat.While many are fat thin women are admired and seen as healthier.This has led to a culture of gym-going strange dieting methods and frequently eating disorders.In the East women tend to be smaller and many women take pills to keep their slim figures as they get older.However you’re mistaken if you think thinness is the beauty standard all over the world.The BBC reports that in Mauritania Africa the opposite is true.
In Mauritania mothers force their daughters to eat a lot of food so that they get as fat as possible.The fatter they are the more likely they are to marry well.Fat is also considered healthy because in a country where HIV/AIDS is a very real problem thin people are often sick and dying.However “healthy” fat women are suffering from some problems of their own and many are dying in their 40s of weight-related diseases.
The Mauritanian government is trying to warn its people of the dangers of being overweight but it’s not easy to change cultural views.Many women worry that if they lose weight their husbands will leave them for fatter more attractive women.
It seems that while education about the dangers of being too thin and too fat is very important what the world really needs is to become less pre-occupied with the size shape and weight of women’s bodies.The promotion of healthy practices is easy but changing cultural beauty standards takes more time imagination and effort.
【1】According to the article why are women usually fatter in the West?
A．They don’t exercise enough.
B．Large food portions and fast food are common.
C．They use unhealthy dieting methods.
D．They believe that being fat is beautiful.
【2】Why do mother force their daughter to eat a lot of food in Mauritania?
A．They believe that fat people won’t get HIV/AIDS.
B．They believe that fat people can live a longer life.
C．They believe that fat women will have a good marriage.
D．They believe that fat women won’t get sick very often.
【3】As for the importance of educating people about the dangers of eating too much or too little, the writer thinks that _______.
A．other change are necessary as well
B．people should learn about it for themselves
C．it should be taught in schools in the whole country
D．it’s more important to change cultural beauty standards
24、After having more than a few acquaintances online, it might come a blow to keen social networkers like Barack Obama, or even Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg himself.
According to a research, the average person has in fact twice as many online friends as physical ones. Users of social-networking sites have on average 121 online friends as compared with physical ones. The study also claims that people tend to be more open, confident and honest with their virtual friends than their “real” ones.
“For most people , the Internet is a way of keeping in touch with loved ones and friends, but for people who are isolated due to illness, it plays a more vital role, and can often act as a lifeline.” says Helen Oxley, a psychologist at Wythenshawe hospital.
“People with illnesses often rely on the Internet to facilitate（促进） friendships, since they blog and use networking sites as a way of dealing with their illness. It can foster a sense of social connection for those who frequently feel isolated, which is important to psychological well-being.”
In wider society, the ways in which friendships are formed are changing, with people recognizing that they can develop deep and meaningful connections with others that they’ve never met, and may never meet. About one in 10 people has either met their best friends online, or believes they can make lifelong friends on the Web.
The findings highlight how social introductions are also changing. Only five percent would ask for someone’s phone number, while 23 percent are now likely to ask for an email address or a full name with the intention of adding the person to their social network.
At the same time, however, a questionnaire completed by 4,427 suggests that 20 percent of parents believe their children’s education is affected by surfing the Net. They think their children are doing poorly at the school due to the amount of time they spend on non-educational websites.
【1】The underlined word “it” in Para 1 most probably refers to ________.
A. people spending too much time surfing the Net
B. people relying on the Internet to connect with friends
C. people having more virtual friends than real ones
D. people making meaningful connections with strangers
【2】We can infer from the text that________.
A. sick people can recover more quickly by surfing the Net
B. students get important information online
C. students who surf the net always perform not so well
D. people tend to trust their virtual friends more than their real ones
【3】What percentage of parents believe that the Internet has a bad effect on their children?
A. About 5 percent. B. About 20 percent.
C. About 10 percent. D. About 23 percent.
【4】In the following paragraph, the author will probably discuss ________.
A. how much time children spend on the Internet
B. how children learn about the world through the Net
C. how parents feel about their children’s studies
D. how children make use of the Internet to study

26、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。
Pam Bales left her car and stepped onto the snow-covered Jewell Trail. She planned a six-hour hike through New Hampshire’s Mount Washington State Park. The hike up the lower part of Jewell was pleasant. At 8:30 am, still below the tree line, she took the first in a series of on-the-trail selfies.
Less than an hour later, she took another photo, after she’d climbed into colder air and deeper snows. She made her way across the snow-covered ridge toward Mount Washington. Then she noticed something: a single set of footprints in the snow ahead of her. She’d been following faint tracks all day and hadn’t given them much thought, because so many people climb Jewell Trail. But these, she realized, had been made by a pair of trainers, not suitable for hiking on snow.
By 11 am, Bales was getting cold and decided to abandon her plan. The only thing keeping Bales on Gulfside Trail was the trainer tracks in the sonw. As she fought the wind and heavy sleet (雨夹雪), the tracks made a hard left-hand turn off the trail.
Now she alarmed. She was sure the hiker could get through in the ow visibility and was heading straight toward the challenging trails of the Great Gulf Wilderness. Bales stood there, stunned. The temperature and clouds were in a race to find their lowest point, and darkness was mere hours away. She turned to the left and called out, “Hello!” into the frozen fog.
Nothing. She called out again: “Is anybody out there? Do you need help?”
The strong westerly winds carried her voice away. She blew into her rescue whistle. For a fleeting moment she thought she heard someone reply, but it was just the wind playing games with her mind. She stood listening, then turned and walked cautiously in the direction of the single set of tracks. Bales followed the tracks cautiously for 20 to 30 meters. She rounded a slight corner and saw a man sitting motionless.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

When she approached him and said hello, he did not react.

After waking the man up, Bales recognized that they had to get out of there soon.
