35、ou (2008), and Le Voyage dans la Lune (1902).Sha Dan, curator(策展人) of the China Film Archive, explained to the media what to expect from the film series, and revealed how first-time viewers can best appreciate French movies.Q: Why should I watch French movies?A: French films have a lot of virtues. F

36、or one thing, they use dialogue and plot, instead of visual effects, to drive the story. For another, they stress diversity(多元). While Hollywood movies are often about universal values, French movies have French culture or regional cultures deeply rooted in them. You have to understand them in their

37、 cultural context. Thats what sometimes makes French movies difficult to understand.Q: How can a Chinese audience appreciate French movies?A: You need to get used to their way of filming. When shooting two people talking to each other, the traditional way is to film each person face-forward as they

38、take turns speaking. However, French movies are filmed in more experimental ways, like switching from a close shot to a long shot.Also, you should search for background information. The movies title and its director can reflect its ideas and storyline. For example, Les Enfants du Paradis (1945), als

39、o known as Children of Paradise, tells the story of beautiful Garance and the four men who love her in their own ways.

43、er being in awe(敬畏) when we saw cloned dinosaurs running wild in the film Jurassic Park. And the idea of using technology to revive(恢复) extinct species has long fascinated not only writers and directors, but scientists as well.According to The Telegraph, woolly mammoths(长毛猛犸象), which featured in the

44、 popular Ice Age animated movie series, “may walk the earth once more” now that scientists have taken another step toward realizing a long-held dreamrecreating their DNA. Mammoths became extinct around 10,000 years ago. However, since the discovery of near-perfect preserved remains in Arctic permafr

45、ost(北极冻土带) in May 2013, a variety of research studies have been carried out since.Geneticists from Harvard University analyzed DNA from the remains, looking for genes which separated mammoths from elephants, such as hairiness and ear size. They then used the results to reproduce exact copies of 14 m

46、ammoth genes. “It is the first time that mammoth genes have been alivealthough so far it has only been done in the lab,” George Church, lead researcher of the project, told the Sunday Times.Church then used a new technique which allows scientists to edit DNA carefully, replacing sections of elephant

47、 DNA with the mammoth genes. So “we now have functioning elephant cells with mammoth DNA in them,” he said.However, Church ruled out the possibility of bringing the mammoths back to life via cloning from frozen remains. He said he “preferred to focus on rebuilding the full mammoth genome(基因组) by ana

48、lyzing DNA from preserved remains and putting it into the cells of its closest living relative the Asian elephant,” reported The Telegraph.Church argued that the return of the woolly mammothor rather, the return of something very similarcould help bring back fragile(脆弱的) ecosystems. However, some sc

49、ientists believe that bringing back the mammoth would be unethical.Professor Alex Greenwood, an expert on ancient DNA, said: “We may face the extinction of African and Asian elephants. Why bring back another elephant from extinction when we cannot even keep the ones that are not extinct around?” he

50、told the Sunday Times. “What is the message? We can be as irresponsible with the environment as we want. Then well just clone things back?”“Money would be better spent focusing on conserving what we do have than spending it on an animal that has been extinct for thousands of years,” he said.59. We c

51、an learn from the article that _.A. cloned mammoths followed cloned dinosaurs to get revivedB. the technology to revive mammoth genes is already matureC. George Church and his colleagues tried to reproduce mammoth DNAD. Church and his team managed to list all the genes that separate mammoths from el

52、ephants60. According to Church, what is the significance of his study?A. It could help prevent the extinction of the Asian elephant.B.

55、million people from 164 countries celebrate World Environment Day on 5 June. It may seem like there is not much that an individual can do to save the world, but there is. One of the first steps is to understand the problems and their solutions.Try to learn about your ecosystem, endangered animals an

56、d pollution. If you are well-informed, you can make better decisions about how to save energy and produce less waste.

57、to promote environmental education. Help educate people in your community about ways in which they can help protect the environment. The Earth is our only home. We should take good care of it.RecycleMake a list of all the things you can recycle at home and at school and start recycling. In some case

58、s, you can sell the things you recycle. In others, you can turn unwanted items into something useful for another purpose, such as using old plastic bottles for growing plants. Most bottles and jars contain at least 25% recycled glass. And recycling aluminum cans saves 95% of the energy needed to mak

59、e aluminum from bauxite ore. Recycling one ton of paper saves 17 trees, 26,000 liters of water, 1,700 liters of oil, 266 kilograms of air pollution and 2.3 cubic meters of rubbish dump space.Use less energyThe easiest way to save energy is to cycle or walk whenever possible instead of using public t

60、ransportation. At home and at school, you should only use electric lights and electrical appliances when you need them. There are many other less obvious ways of saving energy.

His novels made him famous in his own time, and continue as classics in ours.Dickens began his literary ca

66、reer with almost no formal education. He was born in Landport, on Feb. 7, 1812, the second of eight children. When he was 12, his father was sent to debtors prison. Dickens was forced to quit school and work in a London blacking factory. He would rework that terrible experience into his fiction for

67、the rest of his life.“He was a social reformer,” says actor Simon Callow, author of a new biography called Charles Dickens and the Great Theatre of the World. “He knew what poverty was. He knew what it was to be rejected, to be cast aside, to live in squalor(悲惨).”And so Dickens wrote with great symp

68、athy for the suffering of innocent and vulnerable(易受攻击的) childrencharacters like David Copperfield, Little Dorrit and the orphan, Oliver Twist：With his slice of bread in his hand, and his little brown parish cap on his head, Oliver was now led away from the wretched(苦难的) home, where one kind word or

70、n 1836. With the appearance of Oliver Twist in London periodicals in 1837, the 25-year-old Dickens became the most popular writer in England. But his first love was theater, and he considered becoming an actor.“When he was actually writing, he became his characters,” says Peter Ackroyd, author of Di

71、ckens: Public Life and Private Passion. “He would get up from his desk, go over to the mirror and mouth the wordsdo the expressions, grimaces(鬼脸), whatever, and then laugh, chuckle to himself, then go back to his desk and write it down.”Dickens created 989 named characters, which increased his popul

72、arity. Every one of his major works has been adapted for either stage or screen. A Christmas Carol inspired more than a dozen films, from Alistair Sims Scrooge in 1951 to Jim Carreys voicing of the same character in Disneys 2009, 3-D animated film.The original 1843 manuscript(手稿) of A Christmas Caro

73、l is on display at the Morgan Library. Dickens wrote everything by hand, in tiny script, with a quill pen. Remarkably, the manuscript is both the first and the final draft, says Kiely, the curator. You can see where Dickens has changed the name of the first chapter from “Old Marleys Ghost” to “Marle

74、ys Ghost”. Further down the page, he has canceled an entire section.“He realizes hes not writing a novel, and he only has a very short time in which to write this,” Kiely explains. “Hes got to keep it tight, in order for it to be published in time for Christmas.”Dickens wrote all the time. He travel

75、ed with a portable inkwell and a supply of quill pens. He was working on his last novel, Our Mutual Friend, en route from France to London when the train he was on crashed.Dickens died five years later in 1870, after a stroke at age 58. As a comic talent and a social reformer, Dickens achievement wa

76、s extraordinary, says novelist T. C. Boyle, who earned a doctorate in Victorian literature.“He achieved what any great artist achievesa body of work that has entertained and delighted and instructed people down through the ages. Thats what we all hope for,” says Boyle.But Dickens greatest fiction wa

77、s his own character, says Callow, the biographer：“People think of him as a cheerful man. but he was increasingly suffering from depression and a sense of hopelessness. And thats worth knowing. I think its always good to know that great creative individuals have their struggle, their drama.”67. What

78、can probably be reflected in Dickens works?A. His love for his family. B. His childhood sufferings.C. His desire for formal education. D. His reason to choose literary career.68. The author quotes Dickens description of Oliver Twist mainly to show _A. that Dickens was full of pity for poor childrenB

79、. that Dickens knew well about poor childrenC. what real poverty was like in his daysD. what kind of life Oliver Twist lived69. It can be inferred from the passage that _A.

84、season.1. Know and avoid your stressors(压力源). If cooking for a large group, baking cookies, or Christmas shopping are your key stressors, dont do them.

85、to live up to someone elses expectations of the holidays and stay merry by outsourcing the pain points.2. Get flexible at work. If you normally travel an hour each way at work, see if your boss will let you work from home in this special season to save time, get more done, and reduce your stress. Or

86、 ask if you can start work from home in the mornings and come to the office later in the day to avoid peak hours. Leave early and finish your day from the comfort of home, too.3. Make your own list and check it twice. Make a to-do list for yourself, for both work and life, then divide it up into cat

If you start to feel a cold coming on, come to a full and complete stop. The best way to stop a cold from exploding

89、into a weeks-long sickness is to stop it at the start. Unless a task or activity is an absolute necessity, cancel your plans, put away your to-do lists, and settle in for a long winters nap. A day of rest and enough sleep is the only thing you NEED right now. Feel bad about declining holiday invitat

91、 much from yourself, because nobody puts so much expectation on you as you do to yourself. Trying to satisfy clients, co-workers, friends and family can be draining and can finally negatively impact you in many ways. When you simplify things up front, you relieve the stress off of yourself and every

92、one else in the process.
