It is a story of female empowerment.Dangal is not your typical song-and-dance heavy Bollywood romance. Starring hugely popular Aamir Khan, it tells the story of Indian wrestler and coachMahavir Singh Phogat who trained his daughters to become wrestlers - defying social norms.The real-life family is from conservative Haryana state, known for the high prevalence of social issues such as gender inequality and child marriage. And the family faced great adversity to realise his wrestling dream.One of his daughters GeetaPhogat went on to win India's first ever gold medal in wrestling at the Commonwealth Games in 2010 and became the first Indian female wrestler to qualify for the Olympic Games."I think the father really cared about his daughters' future. He would have raised independent daughters no matter what," said one social media user on Chinese micro-blogging site Weibo.Aamir Khan's previous films have also been hugely popular in China. His 2009 release, 3 Idiots, was a hit in the country and industry watchers called it the film that broke "China's Great Bollywood Wall". Khan is sometimes credited with reviving China's love for Bollywood, which began with Raj Kapoor's films in the 1950s.In China, the film was released as Shuai Jiao Baba, which translates as Let's Wrestle, Dad. Since then the hashtag# LetsWrestleDad” has been trending on Weibo.Chinese critics say Dangal has helped break China's "prejudice" against Bollywood films, including their excessive length and elaborate but "puzzling" dance scenes.25. According to the article, what do we know about the movie Dangal?A. It adopted a conservative view on social issues.B. It is typical of song-and-dance Bollyood movies.C.

A biographyCAfter serving as a ski guide in Utah’s back country for more than two decades, a Park City woman is being recognized by Outside Magazine as 2015’s Best Ski Guide.Deb Lovci grew up in Colorado and began skiing when she was five years old. Later she moved to Utah and fell in love with the back country of Wasatch Mountains. Lovci has now served as a Ski Utah Interconnect guide for 27 years. “Anything that you slide on snow, I’m in love with,” she said.Lovci leads ski tours through the back country of six different resorts located in the Wasatch Mountains. Lovci typically takes a group of eight to ten people on a ski tour each day, and on average, she takes 300 customers on tours through the back country each season. She loves showing off Utah’s wilderness. “I love the back country,” she said. “I love the snow science behind it. I love the safety … I just love it.”Along with leading ski tours, Lovci is passionate about anything related to activities. She also runs a bed-and-breakfast in Park City, the Old Town Guest House. As “a jack-of-all-trades”, she also runs Alpine skis, Nordic skis competitively, and snowboards, and leads mountain bike tours during the summer.Outside Magazine selected five travel guides in various outdoor fields to name as the best in their Best of Travel April issue. Lovci said she was unexpectedly cheerful when she was selected as 2015’s Best Ski Guide by Outside Magazine. “We all work really hard in what we do and we love it and it’s really nice to get acknowledged,” she said. “I work with a lot of excellent guides and the award could have gone to anybody —any one of us. I often recall my ski experiences which were fearful at the beginning, but they helped me achieve success.”In a news release, Ski Utah director of communications, Pau l Marshall said, “Deb Lovci is one of the most enthusiastic, focused, knowledgeable guides in the industry. Without her as the forefront of our Interconnect Tour, we would not have the success we have. She has been an enthusiastic part of the Interconnect Tour for 27 years and is thought highly of by our customers.”29.

Deb Lovci— a ski guide for 27 yearsDThey may be tiny, and live for just three months, but ants could be the key to solving climate change.Rough harvester ants have been found to “weather” minerals in sand to produce calcium carbonate, also known as limestone (石灰岩). When the ants make this limestone, the process traps carbon dioxide in the rock, ultimately removing it from the atmosphere.It is uncertain how the minerals are changed, however, and theories vary a lot from ants licking the sand to excreting (排泄) the substance.Professor Dorn buried sand at six sites in the Catalina Mountains in Arizona, and Polo Duro Canyon in Texas, 25 years ago. Every five years, he measured the minerals in the sand, and discovered the ants broke down minerals up to 300 times faster than sand left undisturbed.Professor Dorn believes the ants collect calcium and magnesium (镁) and use these elements to make the limestone. This may occur when ants lick sand grains to stick them to the walls of their nests. Alternatively, the limestone could be created from bacteria in the insects gut before it is excreted. This process is similar to what’s known as carbon sequestration (隔离).Natural carbon sequestration is the process on Earth that manages the carbon dioxide expelled by animals and humans. Trees and the oceans help trap this carbon dioxide.Another method is geological sequestration where the carbon dioxide is pumped into underground chamber, or into areas full of calcium and magnesium. Carbon dioxide reacts with these elements to form limestone. It is this latter method that Dorn believes the ants perform naturally.But Professor Dorn claims it is still unknown how much atmospheric carbon is removed by the ants.32. The fifth paragraph is mainly about ________.A. how ants break down limestoneB. how ants change minerals into limestoneC. how ants decorate their nests with sandD. how ants use sand to kill bacteria33. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “expelled”?A. sent outB. taken inC. broken upD. given away34. According to Dorn, scientists still don’t know ________.A. the effect of CO2on ants’ survivalB. the method of ants’ removing CO2C. the amount of CO2 removed by antsD. the time when ants absorb CO235. The main idea of the passage is that ________.A. ants build their nests to keep CO2 outB. ants use limestone to absorb a great deal of CO2C. ants are pioneers in solving global warmingD. ants may remove CO2 from atmosphere第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
