Ancient Myth-A Hit With Modern Audiences This summers surprise hit at movie theaters across China was the re-telling of the ancient myth of Nezha. The animated film (21) (take) in over four billion yuan at the box office and become one of the cou
15、ntrys most successful films ever. It proved that China could produce animated films comparable to (22) 上海奉贤高三英语上册调研测试（一模）试卷 - 4 - / 18 produced in Hollywood and Japan. The film, directed by Yang Yu, was a massive undertaking(任务) from start to finish. He spent two years writing the script(剧本) and thr
16、ee more years making a film which required the efforts of 1,600 animators. But for Yang, it was a way to prove to himself that he (23) change his fate and inspire others to change their fate as well. “I used to suffer from a lot of prejudice after changing my career,” said Yang, “Since then I have t
17、hought about making an animated film to encourage young people to persist in their dreams.” (24) (convey) the message that “your fate is in your own hands,” Yang made some changes to the original myth. Nezha was born a devil( 恶 魔 ), (25) (fate) to cause mischief(恶作剧), but he decides to overcome his
18、fate and to save the people of his hometown from being destroyed by Ao Bing, the third son of the Dragon King. (26) the ancient myth being very clear about the differences between the good and the bad guys, in Yangs film, all of the characters are treated with empathy, and even the “bad” people are
19、also victims of their fate, (27) , actually, have the potential to change and become good. Over the years, I have come across a few students labeled as “devils.” Although some misbehaved simply (28) they were not mature enough, others were trouble-making and uncooperative when they were in a bad moo
20、d. Those students need to know they were not doomed to be bad. As they grew up, they would have the power to change their circumstances. If you have seen Nezha, you know (29) a terrific, entertaining film it is. But an important lesson is also conveyed in the film (30) we should not judge ourselves
21、or others too harshly, so as not to allow those negative judgments to control our fate. Section B Direction: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

23、 environmental and safety threats from cruise ship traffic and the burden on services from over-tourism. They feel largely left to their own devices, with ever-fewer Venetians living in the historic part of the city to 31 its interests and keep it from becoming mainly a tourist land. The historic fl

Flood damage has bee

The frustration goes far beyond the failure to complete and 35 78 underwater barriers that were designed to prevent just the kind of damage that Venice has 36 this week. With the system no

Reading Comprehension
29、 Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Ecology is a complicated thing. Given the facts that elephant damage often kills trees and bush fires often kill
30、 trees, it would be 41 to assume that a combination of the two would make things worse. Contrary to this assumption, 42 , as the recently-published research by Benjamin Wigley shows, if a tree has already been damaged, fire can 43 help to make things better. One common way in which elephants harm tr
31、ees is by stripping(剥) them of their bark(树皮). Dr Wigley, who did indeed start from the obvious 44 , set off to find out how much worse bush fires would make the effects of this bark stripping. To serve this purpose, he set up a study in the Kruger National Park. Since 1954, the Kruger has been the
32、site of experiments in which plots of land have been burned 45 , to understand the effects of fire on plain ecology. In these experiments, Dr Wigley looked at trees in three different zones, in one of which, the trees were burned every year; in the second, they were burned every other year, while th
33、e third zone, by contrast, was actively 46 fire. To keep things consistent, he looked at the fate of the same tree species, the marula(马鲁拉树), in all three zones. He picked marulas because they are particular 47 of elephant activity. Their fruit are delicious, and prized by elephants and people alike
34、. But elephants also seem to enjoy eating their bark. In July 2016 he and his colleagues identified 20 marulas in every zone and used special tools to 48 from each of them a circular section of bark 5 cm in diameter. Having imposed this damage, they 49 the wounds over the course of the following two
35、 years, to see what would happen. To their 50 , they discovered that the wounds of trees in fire zones recovered far better than those of trees that had seen no fires at all. Wounded trees in the annual burn zone re-grew 98% of their 上海奉贤高三英语上册调研测试（一模）试卷 - 7 - / 18 lost 51 during the two years of th
36、e study. Those living in the biennial(两年 一次的) burn zone re-grew 92% of it. But those in the zone where fires were 52 re-grew only 72%. The researchers also found something else when they were measuring the trees wounds: ants. Ten of the 20 trees in the fire-prevention zone developed ant colonies in
37、their wounds. The ants in question were a species that is known to damage trees and is supposed to 53 tissue healing. By contrast, only five trees in the biennial burn zone and three in the annual zone developed ants nests in their wounds. It looks, therefore, as if bush fires are treating trees wou
38、nds by killing ants that might 54 colonize and damage them. Though such fires are surely harmful to healthy trees, it seems, in an example of two negatives making a positive, as if they are actually 55 to sick ones. 41.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices
42、marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) There was something in the elderly womans behavior that caught my eye. Although slow and unsure of step, the woman moved with deliberation, and there was no hesitation in her
43、 gestures. She was as good as anyone else, her movements suggested. And she had a job to do. The elderly woman had walked into the store along with a younger woman who I guessed was her daughter. The daughter was displaying a serious case of impatience, rolling her eyes, huffing and sighing, checkin
44、g her watch every few seconds. If she had possessed a belt, her mother would have been fastened to it as a means of dragging her along to keep step with the rush of other shoppers. The older woman detached from the younger one and began to glance over the DVDs on the nearest shelf. After the slighte
45、st hesitation, I walked over and asked if I could help her find something. The woman smiled up at me and showed me a title scrawled(潦草地写) on a crumpled piece of paper. The title was unusual and a bit unfamiliar. Clearly a person looking for it knew a little about movies, about quality. Rather than r
46、ushing off to locate the DVD for the woman, I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it. Looking back, I think I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment. Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother, whod passed away the previous Christmas. As we
47、 walked along the back of the store, I narrated its floor plan: old television shows, action movies, cartoons, science fiction. The woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation. We found the movie, and I complimented her on her choice. She smiled and told me it was one shed enjo
48、yed when she was her sons age and that she hoped he would enjoy it as much as she had. Maybe, she said with a hint of eagerness, he could enjoy it with his own young children. Then, reluctantly, I had to return the elderly woman 上海奉贤高三英语上册调研测试（一模）试卷 - 9 - / 18 to her keeper, who was still tapping he
49、r foot at the front of the store. I accompanied the older woman to the queue at the cash register and then stepped back and lingered near the younger woman. When the older womans turn in line came, she paid in cash, counting out the dollars and coins with the same sureness shed displayed earlier . 56. What does “she had a job to do“ (Para. 1) mean according to the contex
