Tomorrowland tells the story of a wide-eyed dreamer named Casey as she follows her curiosity down a path of adventure and danger.When a strange sign shows an alternate(交替的) reality,Casey begins a magical journey into another world.As she struggles to make sense of this new world,Casey meets a scientist named Frank.Together they carry out a task to uncover the mysteries of a land that exists between time and space:Tomorrowland. According to Britt Robertson,the entire movie has been filled with secrecy.In fact,she had to audition(试镜) many times for the part of Casey before she was even allowed to read the script(剧本). Robertson says that being a part of Tomorrowland has given her a more positive outlook on the future.“I always think about going green and trying to help the world with things I can do,” she told TFK.“I think the greatest things we can do to help are simple things.The small stuff counts.” Robertson auditioned for it for a very long time before she even read the script.Once she read the script,she just loved how full the story was.She was satisfied by it.She felt happy,like she had just been on an adventurous ride.She was also sad,joyful,and hopeful.She felt a mix of emotions after reading the script and it really got her thinking and it made her want to be a more positive person.She was very happy when she found out she got the role.It felt like all her hard work paid off. 【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了迪士尼影片明日世界,影片中的大眼睛姑娘给观众留下了深 刻的印象,她就是 Casey 的扮演者 Britt Robertson。 24.What do we know about Britt Robertson from the passage?

The analysis,published in the journal Biological Conservation,says intensive(集约型)agriculture is the main driver of the declines,particularly the heavy use of pesticides.Urbanisation and climate change are also significant factors. “If insect species losses cannot be stopped,this will have catastrophic consequences for both the planets ecosystems and for the survival of mankind.It is very rapid.In 10 years you will have a quarter less,in 50 years only half left and in 100 years you will have none,” said review author Francisco Snchez- Bayo,at the University of Sydney,Australia. One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on many birds,reptiles,amphibians and fish that eat insects.“If this food source is taken away,all these animals starve to death,” he said.Such effects have already been seen in Puerto Rico,where a recent study revealed a 98% fall in ground insects over 35 years. Matt Shardlow,at the conservation charity Buglife,said:“It is thoughtful to see this evidence that shows the pitiful state of the worlds insect populations.It is increasingly obvious that the planets ecology is breaking and there is a need for a strong and global effort to prevent and change these terrible trends.” 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是,昆虫数量的减少对自然生态系统的危害。 28.Why are people worried about the insect decline?
