What are you waiting for? A new series of movies shown this year can’t be missed. Have you enjoyed them

already?

Frozen II

Frozen was the highest grossing (票房) animated film ever. In Frozen II Elsa, Anna, Olaf and Krist left off

Arendelle to seek the source of Elsa’s icy magic. Although the millions of children who loved the first film are

older now, they might give it a reception.

Last Christmas

A festive romantic comedy, Emilia Clarke stars in Last Christmas as Bridget Jonesy , a shop assistant, whose

life in London is a mess, and Henry Golding as the eligible bachelor( 黄金单身汉)who tidies it up. The film’s

director, Paul Feig, and co-writer, Emma Thompson, promise that the film is worth expecting.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

Tom Hanks stars in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood as the only American celebrity(名人) more famous

than he is. As the host of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood for more than 30 years, Fred Rogers is a legend of pre-

school children’s television, which appeals to a large audience.

Charlie’s Angels

Hollywood action movies starring women are rare. But have you seen a movie starred, written and directed

by women, too? Charlie’s Angels is one of the first. A reboot ( 翻拍) of the 1970s TV series, not to mention the

two films from 2000 and 2003, the new version is directed by Elizabeth Banks. She also plays Bosley, one of the

female detectives who are employed by Charles Townsend to go on global adventures.

My school appeared on the news last week because we had made an important change in our local area. Our

class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. I

got blisters(水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.

I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration( 合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher

telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The

producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to

know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.

The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie( 大草原), we had made a

prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not

water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew

in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood

taller than the fourth grade students.

As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many

questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned

through this project.

That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two

minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when

we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.

24. What seemed to be the TV directors’ initial reaction to the garden?

A. They were excited. B. They were surprised.

C. They were worried. D. They were uninterested.

25. What is special about the garden?

A. Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.

B. The grass grew faster than common grass.

C. The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.

D. Underground water was used for the plants.

26. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in the last paragraph?

A. We got blisters on our hands. B. Our hard work was worthwhile.

C. The garden would be famous. D. The project would be finished.

27. How did the author feel about the project?

A. Annoyed. B. Curious. C. Proud. D. Regretful.

Bill Gates on how to fight future pandemics

WHEN HISTORIANS write the book on the covid-19 pandemic, what we've lived through so far will

probably take up only the first third or so. The bulk of the story will be what happens next.

I believe that humanity will beat this pandemic, but only when most of the population is vaccinated( 接种疫

苗）.Until then, life will not return to normal.

As the pandemic slows in developed nations, it will accelerate in developing ones. Their experience,

however, will be worse. In poorer countries, where fewer jobs can be done remotely, distancing measures won't

work as well. The virus will spread quickly, and health systems won't be able to care for the infected.

Wealthy nations can help. But people in rich and poor places alike will be safe only once we have an

effective medical solution for this virus, which means a vaccine.

My hope is that, by the second half of 2021, facilities around the world will be manufacturing a vaccine. If

that's the case, I t will be a history-making achievement: the fastest humankind has ever gone from recognizing a

new disease to immunizing （免疫）against it.

Apart from this progress in vaccines, two other big medical breakthroughs will emerge from the pandemic.

One will be in the field of diagnostics. The next time a novel virus crops up, people will probably be able to test

for it at home. Researchers could have such a test ready within a few months of identifying a new disease.

The third breakthrough will be in antiviral drugs. We haven't been as effective at developing drugs to fight

viruses as we have those to fight bacteria. But that will Researchers will develop large diverse libraries of

antivirals, which they'll be able to scan trough and quickly find effective treatments for novel viruses.

All three technologies will prepare us for the next pandemic by allowing us to intervene( 干预）early when

the number of cases is still very low.

Our progress won't be in science alone. It will also be in our ability to make sure everyone benefits from that

science. In the years after 2021,I think we'll learn from the years after 1945. With the end of the Second World

War, leaders built international institutions like the UN to prevent more conflicts. After covid-19, leaders will

prepare institutions to prevent the next pandemic.

These will be a mix of national, regional and global organizations. I expect they will participate in

regular"germ games”in the same way as armed forces take part in War games. These will keep us ready for the

next time a novel virus jumps from bats or birds to humans.

I hope wealthy nations include poorer ones in these preparations, especially by devoting more foreign aid to

building up their primary health-care systems. This pandemic has shown us that viruses don't obey border laws

and that we are all connected biologically by a network of microscopic germs, whether we like it or not.

The best analogy(类比）for today might be November 10th 1942.Britain had just won its first land victory

of the war, and Winston Churchill declared in a speech: “This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the

end.But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”

28. What are the three technologies that will prepare us for the next pandemic?

①manufacturing a vaccine fast

②diagnosing a virus at home

③developing antiviral drugs

④allowing us to intervene early
