I dragged (拉)my best friend along with me and told him,“It’s Disney. It can’t go wrong! ”A typical Disney movie generally goes along these lines: First, an attractive female protagonist (主角)is introduced. She can sing prettywell and speak to animals. She attracts everyone who meets her. All she wants to do is find her Prince Charming. Usually she meets the prince somewhere in the middle of the story, but a villain (反派角色)always creates a lot of trouble so that they are separated for some time. In the end, something bad always happens to either the princess or the prince and they have to save the other with True Love’s K iss. In a lot of the classic Disney films, the prince will usually save the princess from harm and they always end up getting married in the final scenes.However, Frozen did not follow this traditional story line. The complication (复杂)of the story is not caused by a villain. It is caused by Anna’s si ster, Queen Elsa who does not know how to control her powers and is forced to hide them away. I think one of the powerful messages that can be learned from Frozen is that not all people who are considered “evil” have the i ntention to do so. Later, Elsa is also seen as becoming the monster that people see her as, which shows the audience that if someone tells you that you are “this” or “that” f or a certain amount of time, you will start to believe it. Disney did a great job at showing this issue in a believable way. Another difference was the lack of the man saving the world and the woman at the climax (高潮)of the film. In the final scenes of Frozen, sisterly love conquers all.With a movie like this, Disney is now exploring more ways to show their audience different life lessons, the most important being that a male doesnot necessarily have to be a woman’s en tire world and that women can be just as strong as men.5. What does the un derlined word “ecstatic” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Excited.B. Puzzled.C. Nervous.D. Upset.6. What can we learn about a typical Disney movie?A. Its protagonist is a prince.B. It always has a happy ending.C. Its story is not easy to understand.D. It is popular with people of all ages.7. According to the author, what does the film Frozen show us?A. No one is an island.B. True love has different faces.C. Do not judge a book by its cover.D. Always believe in the good in people.8. What’s the author’s attitude t oward the film Frozen!A. Uncertain.B. Disappointed.C. Unconcerned.D. Supportive.CAnimals can teach us a lot about ourselves. But who teaches them? That’s what Jeremy Biome wondered in our Weird Animal Question of the Week:“What are some cool ways th at animalsteach their young pups (幼崽)?”Teaching has its own standard. It includes improved skills as a result of teaching, the teacher only influencing students5 behaviors, a possible cost and no immediate benefit (益处)to the teacher. Based on these standards,only a few species have so far been considered as teachers.In 2019, Alex Thornton and Katherine McAufllife at Cambridge University studied that adult meerkats (狐獴)bring the youngest pups dead scorpions (蝎子). “As they get older, th e pups are increasingly given animals that are alive but injured, Thornton says. The adults also encourage flieir pupils: If a pup is uninterested in the scorpion, the teacher will often push it slightly. In most cases, the pups will eat their dinner.It5s likely that there are many other species that teach, Thornton says, and he lists many in a 2019 study. They include cats and cheetahs, which kill small animals for their younger pups, but bring live animals to older pups, in a way similar to that of meerkats.Thornton says there is also some u suggestive evi dence” for teaching i n primates (灵长目动物),though more study is required. For example, golden lion tamarins (狮狨)find prey (猎物) in tree holes and call their pups to join in, says Lisa Rapaport, an expert at Clemson University. Rapaport has seen adult tamarin s in Brazil’s forests make the ca ll and then allow the pups to reach into a tree hole and get the prey forthemselves. Their success rises with adults’ he lp, Rapaport says, which is a n evidence of teaching. It’s hard to tell exactly who they learn it from. “Just as it’s hard to decide if my son learned ‘hello’ from me or my wife or my dad or his older brother,” she sa ys.9. What can we lea rn about meerkats’ teaching?A. Meerkats strictly push their pups to catch scorpions.B. Meerkats encourage their pups to catch more scorpions.C. Meerkats give dead scorpions to the eldest pups directly.D. Meerkats remind their pups to eat scorpions by pushing them slightly.10. Which of the following is TRUE about other animals similar to meerkats in teaching?A. Cats expect more from their younger pups.B. Cheetahs are stricter with their younger pups.C. Golden lion tamarins kill animals for their younger pups.D. Pups of cats and cheeta hs probably have uncertain “first teachers”.11. From the passage, we can learn that the pups are mainly taught how to ________.A. play with othersB. be independentC. respect othersD. be healthyDOprah Winfrey is one of the most successful women in the history of the United States of America. She was born into a poor family in a small town in Mississippi in 1954. She is now one of the richest people in the world, and the richest black Americans in the country. She was also named as the richest African American in the 20th Century. Winfrey is known to most Americans through her daytime show called The Oprah Winfrey show. This is a show where Oprah Winfrey likes to talk about topics that many other daytime hosts avoid.

Sent to live with the man she calls her father, a barber, Winfrey found a job in a radio station while still in high school and began hosting the local evening news at the age of 19. This was her first step into the media world.Her show began in Chicago in 1983, and within a few years, it becamethe No. 1 daytime talk show in the country, which made her known to the whole nation. She has interviewed some of the most famous people in the country on her popular show. Winfrey played a role in the movie The Color Purple, and now owns her own production company called Harpo Films.

必修2 Modules 4-6综合测试题第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

AYou probably have seen Mel Gibson with blue paint on his face in the film Braveheart. When I wrote my novel Rise, I wanted to take this image and have the character ride a deer through the shopping center of Sauchiehall Street.Rise begins with a young woman called Justine, who is running away from the city for the freedom of a new start. Life has taught her not to care, nor to root herself too deeply in any place or tiling. However, hiding out in a small country,she realizes it’s far harder to be anonymous (无名的)than in a big city. In a small, country, everything is up for being questioned, and Justine begins to think about freedom not in the view of escape, but in the view of livin g in a way that’s true to herse lf.Here are some of the books that I think Justine might have taken with her: 1. Joseph Knight by James Robertson“No man is by nature the property (财产)of another. Based on the true but little-known story of an 18th-century African brought to Scotland as a slave, Joseph Knight explains a court case which essentially found thatslavery was not recognized by Scots law. In Rob ertson’s hands, histo rical facts are put together lightly around a powerful piece of fiction.2. How to Be Both by Ali SmithThere are two stories: a story about a modem girl dealing with her moth er’s death, and the tale o f a forgotten 15th-century Italian artist. Being good at dealing with language, Smith explores which comes first: surface or depth; what we see or what we feel?3. Germinal by Emile ZolaI read this in English at university when I was meant to be reading it in French, Given my bad French, I tried the English version. So clearly, Zola writes about the mind that every creature has to break free from traps.1. What might be Mel Gibson?A. An actor.B. A singerC. A writer.D. A deer.2. What can we learn about Justine?A. She likes the country life.B. She doesn’t care about life.C. She wants to hide in a big city.D. She hopes to live her own life.3. Justine might have taken the three books because they all ___________.A. tell interesting storiesB. help people free themselvesC. advise people to keep calmD. explain the meaning of life4. What can we know about Joseph Knight?A. It is famous to all.B. It is based on history.C. Slavery is legal in Scotland.D. It is made up by James Robertson.BOn e of China’s most popular folk arts is paper cutting. According to archaeological (考古的)research, the tradition dates back to the 6th century. It is supposed that the beginnings of paper cutting were even a few centuries earlier. Paper cuttings are used for religious purposes, for decoration and as patterns.As is still partly the case outside of China, many paper things used to be buried with the dead or were burned at the funeral (葬礼)ceremony. Paper cuttings, which, usually contain symbolic meanings, were part of the ceremony.Today, paper cuttings are mainly used as decoration. They are used to decorate walls, windows, doors, mirrors and lamps in homes and are also used for decoration on presents or are given as presents themselves. They have special meanings at festivals and on holidays. At the New Ye ar’sFestival, for example, entrances are decorated with paper cuttings which are supposed to bring good luck.Paper cuttings are not produced by machine, but by hand. There are two kinds of paper cuttings: scissor (剪刀)cuttings and knife cuttings. As the name shows, scissor cuttings are made with scissors. Several pieces of paper — up to eight pieces — are fixed together. The design is then cut with sharp scissors. Knife cuttings are made by putting several layers of paper on a soft mixture of tallow (动物油脂)and ashes (灰).Following a pattern,the artist cuts with a sharp knife which he usually holds vertically (垂直成).The advantage of knife cuttings is that quite more paper cuttings can be made in one operation with knives than with scissors.In the countryside, paper cuttings are usually made only by women and girls. This used to be one of the skills that every girl was to master and that were often used to judge brides. Professional paper-cutting artists are, on the other hand, almost always men who have incomes and work together in workshops.5. What can we learn about paper cutting in Paragraph 1?A. It has a history of 600 years.B. It is mainly used for religious purposes.C. It was very popular in the 6th century.D. It first appeared probably before the 6th century:6. What kind of paper cutting can be used in a funeral ceremony?A. Those with symbolic meanings.B. Those with beautiful patterns.C. Those with simple images.D. Those with different colors.7. Compared with scissor cuttings, knife cuttings can ___________.A. save up to eight pieces of paperB. make more paper cuttings at a timeC. make paper cuttings look betterD. waste much more time and money8. Which of the following is TRUE according to the last paragraph?A. Almost every girl from the countryside in the past could make paper cuttings.B. Paper-cutting artists usually are women from the countryside.C. Brides must learn how to make paper cuttings before getting married.D. Men in the countryside are not allowed to learn making paper cuttings.CIn December 1992, I was a happy husband and father of two children. A month later, I was diagnosed (诊断)with leukaemia.After two years of chemotherapy (化疗),the disease was under control. My body was weak and lifeless. I felt as if I were a puppet (木偶)who needed help to raise his arms or hold up his head. I began to run. After sixmonths, my strength came back. During one of my runs, one where I felt I could run forever, I decided I was going to run a marathon.After telling my dad about my plan, he told me of a program that trains people to run a marathon while raising money for leukaemia research. So that summer, through the Leukemia & Lymphoma Soc iety’s Team In Training program, I started to train for the Marine Corps Marathon. During mile after mile of uncertainty, the day finally came to run the marathon.On October 27, 2019, the gun went off and so did I. Along with 19,000 other brave souls, I started on a 26.2-mile journey that I will never forget.I first saw my wife Patty at the six-mile mark: she seemed happy that I was still looking as if I knew what I was doing, and having a good time doing it. At Mile 17, my mind was going back to those two painful years that tried to bring my family and me down. I saw her again. The concern on her face told me she knew I was starting to struggle. I felt as if we were thinking the same. Nine more miles, those past few years would be behind us. I had seen nothing so inspiring in my life. At 3 hours and 41 minutes after I started, I crossed what I think has to be the most fitting finish line in all road racing!That night the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society gave me a medal at a post-race party that was simpl y named “Leukaemia 26.2”.If God wills and I feel worse again, my disease may once again take awaymy hair and my strength, maybe even my life. But it can never take away my medal, or the fact that I am a marathoner.9. Why did the author decide to run a marathon?A. Because he thought he could finish it.B. Because his father advised Him to do so.C. Because he was diagnosed with a disease.D. Because he was too sick to do other sports.10. How long did the author train for the marathon?A. For about half a year.B. For about one and a half years.C. For about two years.D. For about four years.11. What helped the author finish the most difficult part of the marathon?A. The concern of his wife.B. The expectation of their fixture life.C. The memory of those two painful years.D. The medal given by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.DValentine’s Day is one of those rare holidays that are enjoyed by almost everyone in the world. After all,who won’t like a day when loved ones get to shower each other with cards, flowers, chocolates, and jewelry? This show of love does come at an expensive price — almost $19 billion,and that number is just for the USA.The Roman Pope, who set aside February 14 to honor St. Valentine, of course, was not the one who changed the day into a commercial (商业的)holiday. That credit goes to Richard Cadbury, a member of a famous British chocolate company, and Massachusetts businesswoman Esther Howland. The former came up with the brilliant idea of selling bite-sized chocolates packaged in heart-shaped boxes, while Howland popularized handmade paper Valentine cards that featured messages of love.Candy and cards remain th e biggest Valentine’s Day gifts till this day. Americans spend over $1 billion on chocolates, and put chocolates inside the 35 million heart-shaped boxes that are sold each year. According to the producers, 8 billion candies are sold between January 1 and February 14.With over 145 million cards exchanged in the US and over a billion worldwide,Valentine’s Day is one o f the biggest moneymakers for greeting card companies. Flowers are also very popular. About 51% of men buy red roses for their loved ones. At high prices, this adds up to $1.9 billion! Almost 35% of Americans that celebrate the holiday treat their loved ones to a special meal.The romantic day is of course a favorite for proposals (求婚). It is therefore not surprising to hear that about $4 billion is spent on gold, silver and diamond jewelry each year. Humans are not the only ones thatget showered with love. One in five Americans also include pets in their celebration, dropping a cool $703 million! Who would have guessed thata simple love note would develop into an expensive affair?12. The first paragraph is meant to tell us __________.A. Valentine’s Day is a rare holidayB. it often showers on Valentin e’s DayC. showing love on Valentine’s Day costs a lotD. how much people spend celebrating Valen tine’s Day13. Who thought of the idea of selling packaged chocolate s on Valentine’s Day?A. The Roman Pope.B. St. Valentine.C. Richard Cadbury.D. Esther Howland.14. On Valentine’s Day, Americans spend the most money on __________.A. jewelryB. chocolatesC. flowersD. pets15. The author thinks the influenc e of Valentine’s Day is __________.A. worryingB. pleasantC. annoyingD. unexpected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。

In the final scenes of Frozen, sisterly love conquers all.With a movie like this, Disney is now exploring more ways to show their audience different life lessons, the most important being that a male does not necessarily have to be a woman’s entire world and that women can be just as strong as men.5. What does the underlined word 〝ecstatic〞in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Excited.B. Puzzled.C. Nervous.D. Upset.6. What can we learn about a typical Disney movie?A. Its protagonist is a prince.B. It always has a happy ending.C. Its story is not easy to understand.D. It is popular with people of all ages.7. According to the author, what does the film Frozen show us?A. No one is an island.B. True love has different faces.C. Do not judge a book by its cover.D. Always believe in the good in people.8. What’s the author’s attitude toward the film Frozen!A. Uncertain.B. Disappointed.C. Unconcerned.D. Supportive.CAnimals can teach us a lot about ourselves. But who teaches them? That’s what Jer emy Biome wondered in our Weird Animal Question of the Week: 〝What are some cool ways that animals teach their young pups (幼崽)?〞Teaching has its own standard. It includes improved skills as a result of teaching, the teacher only influencing students5 behaviors, a possible cost and no immediate benefit (益处〕to the teacher. Based on these standards,only a few species have so far been considered as teachers.In 2021, Alex Thornton and Katherine McAufllife at Cambridge University studied that adult meerkats (狐獴〕bring the youngest pups dead scorpions (蝎子). 〝As they get older, the pups are increasingly given animals that are alive but injured, Thornton says. The adults also encourage flieir pupils: If a pup is uninterested in the scorpion, the teacher will often push it slightly. In most cases, the pups will eat their dinner.It5s likely that there are many other species that teach, Thornton says, and he lists many in a 2021 study. They include cats and cheetahs, which kill small animals for their younger pups, but bring live animals to older pups, in a way similar to that of meerkats.Thornton says there is also some u suggestive evidence〞for teaching in primates (灵长目植物),though more study is required. For example, golden lion tamarins (狮狨〕find prey (猎物) in tree holes and call their pups to join in, says Lisa Rapaport, an expert at Clemson University. Rapaport has seen adult tamarins in Brazil’s forests make the call and then allow the pups to reach into a tree hole and get the prey for themselves. Their success ri ses with adults’ help, Rapaport says, which is an evidence of teaching. It’s hard to tell exactly who they learn it from. 〝Just as it’s hard to decide if my son learned ‘hello’ from me or my wife or my dad or his older brother,〞she says.9. What can we le arn about meerkats’ teaching?A. Meerkats strictly push their pups to catch scorpions.B. Meerkats encourage their pups to catch more scorpions.C. Meerkats give dead scorpions to the eldest pups directly.D. Meerkats remind their pups to eat scorpions by pushing them slightly.10. Which of the following is TRUE about other animals similar to meerkats in teaching?A. Cats expect more from their younger pups.B. Cheetahs are stricter with their younger pups.C. Golden lion tamarins kill animals for their younger pups.D. Pups of cats and cheetahs probably have uncertain 〝first teachers〞.11. From the passage, we can learn that the pups are mainly taught how to ________.A. play with othersB. be independentC. respect othersD. be healthyDOprah Winfrey is one of the most successful women in the history of the United States of America. She was born into a poor family in a small town in Mississippi in 1954. She is now one of the richest people in the world, and the richest black Americans in the country.

This was her first step into the media world. Her show began in Chicago in 1983, and within a few years, it became the No. 1 daytime talk show in the country, which made her known to the whole nation. She has interviewed some of the most famous people in the country on her popular show. Winfrey played a role in the movie The Color Purple, and now owns her own production company called Harpo Films.

About a month after the move, Judy fell ill, suffering from her ongoing battle against Parkinson’s disease.Her condition worsened rapidly and she required medical care at home. The family hired a nursing aid who canceled at the last minute. Instead, a woman named TunDe Hector showed up in her place.One day, TunDe shared a story with Judy and her family. She remembered a particularly difficult day in 2014, when a stranger had helped her with a kind gesture. She had run out of gas, and with only $5 in her pocket, was walking to a gas station with a gas can in hand. A man saw her walking and turned his car around. He paid for her gas and gave her all the cash left in his wallet. Upon hearing the story, Judy’s son, Chris, took off his hat and said, “That was me!” He was the stranger that had helped TunDe on that difficult day.During the care of Judy, the Wright family learned about TunDe’s family and her own dream. The nursing aid, TunDe hoped that one day she could become an OB-GYN nurse. Her tuition was past due and she had a family to care for, but she was determined to achieve that goal for herself and her family.Judy died on July 9, 2017. Instead of flowers, her family asked mourners to donate to TunDe’s education, to assist her in paying for her nursing school. In less than a week, they raised more than $8,000 and presented her with the surprise check.()4. Why did Judy’s family choose TunDe in the end?A. To help her with a kind gesture.B. To replace another nursing aid.C. To look after Judy in the hospital.D. To give Judy the best medical care.()5. How might Chris feel when hearing TunDe’s story?A. Shocked.B. Thrilled.C. Puzzled.D. Delighted.()6. How did the Wright family help TunDe after Judy's death?A. They paid for her education.B. They helped care for her family.C. They helped her realize her dream.D. They bought her a surprise present.()7. What does the whole story mainly tell us?A. Kindness comes full circle.B. Actions speak louder than words.C. The truth never fears investigation.D. Constant dropping wears the stone.CWhat do you usually do when a flying insect(昆虫)lands on your arm? Most likely you blow it away. But what if that bug were a ladybug(瓢虫)? Then chances are you would let it stay. What is it about ladybugs that welike?Farmers once thought ladybugs were a good luck sign. A ladybug in the field meant that the crops(庄稼)would be successful and the weather would be good. The farmers may have been exaggerating(夸大)about what a very small bug can do, but in fact ladybugs do help out with the crops. They eat harmful insects.Actually, it is not the adult ladybug that eats the other insects. It’s the ladybug larvae(幼虫). Ladybugs lay their eggs on leaves that are covered with aphids or other insects. When the larvae come out of the eggs, they are very hungry and will eat mites, aphids, mealybugs, green flies, and other crop-destroyers.A single ladybug larva can eat over 1,000 aphids in one day. In the 1800s, ladybugs were brought all the way from Australia to California and set free among orange trees that were dying from being eaten by insects. The little red and black “eating machines” completely saved all the trees.Ladybugs go about their daily business without worrying much about anything. Very few birds or insects will eat a ladybug because it gives off something that is dangerous to eat. Ladybugs also protect themselves by playing dead. They fall off leaves and remain very still until their enemy goes away.So next time you see a ladybug, think about what it may be up to. Maybe it is off to save an orange tree. Maybe its next move will be to fall off a leaf and play dead or stand up to a bird about 100 times its size. Maybe it’s letting you know that the weather will be good tomorrow. Who knows?Ladybugs are special that way.()8. What do we know about mites and aphids?A. They do harm to the crops.B. They eat more than they should.C. They are food for adult ladybugs.D. They are the enemy of ladybug larvae.()9. Why were ladybugs brought from Australia to California in the 1800s?A. To report the weather for farmers.B. To increase their number.C. To do research on them.D. To save orange trees.()10. What does the underlined part “stand up to” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Play with.B. Worry about.C. Get along with.D. Fight back against.()11. What does the author think of the ladybug?A. It is a crop-destroyer.B. It is a good luck sign.C. It is a little flying helper.D. It is a big eating machine.DFoxes have become a part of life in Britain’s urban areas. They are striking creatures but they are also dangerous.Three years ago, twin baby girls Isabella and Lola Koupparis were left with arm and face injuries after they were attacked by a fox while they were sleeping at their home. Last week, four-week-old baby boy Denny Dolan was bitten by a fox which entered his home. After gaining access to the home through the front door, the fox pulled the baby down from the sofa and tried to drag him outside, biting him and almost severing(割断)his finger.Although fox attacks on humans are still very rare, they will become more common if we don’t change our behavior towards these increasingly fearless animals. It is humans rather than foxes that are responsible for rising fox attacks on humans.On the one hand, people who love foxes treat these wild animals like pets, leaving food out for foxes, feeding them from their hands, and even inviting foxes into their home. The result is that the fox is more brazen(厚颜无耻的)and less inclined to avoid us. It is those people who feed foxes that cause foxes to lose their fear of humans. However, as long as they have a healthy fear of humans, they won’t bother humans.On the other hand, foxes have moved into cities for lack of resources in rural areas. We take away their natural habitat to build more houses and factories. Foxes have no choice but to live and search for food in the city. If they live in the forest, no fox attack will happen.We have to learn to share the earth with animals and let foxes return to their natural habitat. We also have to learn to look upon foxes as wild animals. We have to remember that they are instinctive killers, efficient and silent with only one purpose, kill to eat. We must certainly not intervene them, even when they look starved. They are hungry for a reason. The hunger will force them to hunt for rabbits and other animals instead of waiting for food at your door.()12. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. it is common for people to spot foxes in British citiesB. it is very difficult for people to raise foxes as petsC. it is common for foxes to attack a child in Britain's urban areasD. it is very dangerous for foxes to live in Britain's urban areas()13. Why do more and more foxes flood into cities?A. Because urban people love the cute animal.B. Because foxes lack natural resources in the forest.C. Because no houses are built for them in the forest.D. Because their habitats are occupied by other animals.()14. We can learn from the passage that the author ________.A. is very cruel to foxesB. is a wild animal loverC. is concerned about foxesD. is against feeding foxes()15.What is the main idea of the passage?A. It is humans rather than foxes that are to blame for the rising fox attacks on humans.B. People in cities must certainly not feed foxes, even when they look starved.C. Human beings have to learn to live in harmony with wild animals in cities.D. Foxes in British cities are striking creatures but they are also dangerous animals.二、阅读七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)Ways to Get Your Kids into NatureBeing in nature for kids has tremendous health benefits. There are many ways you can incorporate nature into your children’s lives, even if you live in the city.Inspire curiosity by being curious yourself. A parent’s excitement can be spread to the children, and when you show respect for nature, your children follow suit. 16 . “I don’t know! Let’s find out together.” is a wonderful way to get the ball rolling. Be open to a mutual adventure and allow your curious inner child to come out while you explore nature with your children.17 . If you have to carpool(拼车)in the morning, turn off the devices instead and encourage your children to look out of the window. The early morning fall skies are beautiful with color and migrating birds. After all, even views of nature from the car window are calming and beneficial.Stop thinking about nature time as leisure time. Time in nature is an essential investment in your children’s health and well-being. If you view nature time as essential to good health, you will be more likely to engage in it. 18 , nurturing creativity and wonder is part of your responsibility as parents.Look at the stars. Visit your local observatory, and then drive out of the city some morning or evening for your own stargazing(天体观察)with a blanket and telescope. Observing the stars offers a deeper and wider understanding of the universe. 19 .Plant a small garden. 20 . Bean and pea plants grow quickly and can be eaten when mature, so teach your children about food and the wonder of growth.A. Limit electronic devices while drivingB. Encourage questions you don’t know the answers toC. If you want to raise your healthy, well-balanced childrenD. If you have the space,help your children plant a few vegetablesE. It will teach teamwork, pride in the community, and family togethernessF. If your child is interested, encourage him to get involved in the communityG. Allow yourself to think about it, and talk to your children about that wonder三、完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)I used to be a very self-centered person, but in the past two years I have really changed.

I dragged (拉)my best friend along with me and told him,“It’s Disney. It can’t go wrong! ”A typical Disney movie generally goes along these lines: First,an attractive female protagonist (主角)is introduced. She can sing pretty well and speak to animals. She attracts everyone who meets her. All she wants to do is find her Prince Charming. Usually she meets the prince somewhere in the middle of the story,but a villain (反派角色)always creates a lot of trouble so that they are separated for some time. In the end,something bad always happens to either the princess or the prince and they have to save the other with True Love’s Kiss. In a lo t of the classic Disney films,the prince will usually save the princess from harm and they always end up getting married in the final scenes.However,Frozen did not follow this traditional story line. The complication (复杂)of the story is not caused b y a villain. It is caused by Anna’s sister,Queen Elsa who does not know how to control her powers and is forced to hide them away. I think one of the powerful messages that can be learned from Frozen is that not all people who are considered “evil” have the intention to do so. Later,Elsa is also seen as becoming the monster that people see her as,which shows the audience that if someone tells you that you are “this” or “that” for a certain amount of time,you will start to believe it. Disney did a great job at showing this issue in a believable way. Another difference was the lack of the man saving the world and the woman at the climax (高潮)of the film. In the final scenes of Frozen,sisterly love conquers all.With a movie like this,Disney is now exploring more ways to show their audience different life lessons,the most important being that a male does not necessarily have to be a woman’s entire world and that women can be just as strong as men.5.

That’s what Jeremy Biome wondered in our Weird Animal Question of the Week: “What are some cool ways that animals teach their young pups (幼崽)?”Teaching has its own standard. It includes improved skills as a result of teaching,the teacher only influencing students5 behaviors,a possible cost and no immediate benefit (益处)to the teacher. Based on these standards,only a few species have so far been considered as teachers.In 2019,Alex Thornton and Katherine McAufllife at Cambridge University studied that adult meerkats (狐獴)bring the youngest pups dead scorpions (蝎子). “As they get older,the pups are increasingly given animals that are alive but injured,Thornton says. The adults also encourage flieir pupils: If a pup is uninterested in the scorpion,the teacher will often push it slightly. In most cases,the pups will eat their dinner.It5s likely that there are many other species that teach,Thornton says,and he lists many in a 2019 study. They include cats and cheetahs,which kill small animals for their younger pups,but bring live animals to older pups,in a way similar to that of meerkats.Thornton says there is also some u suggestive evidence” for teaching in primates (灵长目动物),though more study is required. For example,golden lion tamarins (狮狨)find prey (猎物) in tree holes and call their pups to join in,says Lisa Rapaport,an expert at Clemson University. Rapaport has seen adult tamarins in Brazil’s forests make the call and then allow the pups to reach into a tree hole and get the prey for themselves. Their success rises with adults’ help,Rapaport says,which is an ev idence of teaching. It’s hard to tell exactly who they learn it from. “Just as it’s hard to decide if my son learned ‘hello’ from me or my wife or my dad or his older brother,” she says.9. What can we learn about meerkats’ teaching?A. Meerkats strictly push their pups to catch scorpions.B. Meerkats encourage their pups to catch more scorpions.C.

Which of the following is TRUE about other animals similar to meerkats in teaching?A. Cats expect more from their younger pups.B. Cheetahs are stricter with their younger pups.C. Golden lion tamarins kill animals for their younger pups.D. Pups of cats and cheetahs probably h ave uncertain “first teachers”.11.
