What makes a family? How do family memembers get along with each other? Japanese director Hirokazu Koreeda tries to answer these questions in his films.
His laterst film, Shoplifters, is about his favrite topic –family relations. With this film, Koreeda won this year’s Palme d’Or (金棕榈奖), the Cannes Film Festival’s top honor.
Shoplifters tells the story of a poor family living in Tokyo. Three generations living under the same roof survive by stealing from local shops.
Obviously, what they are doing is wrong. But the director focuses more on the heartwarming details of the family’s daily life, according to The Playist. Koreeda shows how the family memebers love and support each other. For example, the family plans a beach trip for the youngest sister. They carefully pick out swimwear for the girl. At the beach, they play happily. The girl draws a picture to help her remember their time together.This causes viewers to forget about their moral judgments(道德审判).
This is another feature of Koreeda’s filming style. He is good at presenting ordinary life. It’s slow and full of small details – sometimes it’s even boring. But there is tension(冲突) present as well. In Shoplifters, the surprise is that the family memembers don’t actually have blood ties to each other, but they are still closer than a real family. They all have their own stories.
In Japan and most other Asian countries, blood ties are what defines (定义) family. But Koreeda questions that by looking at different kinds of relations.
1.How does the family in the Shoplifters make a living?
A. By drawing pictures. B. By working in local shops.
C. By begging from neighbors. D. By stealing from the local stores.
2.What is the feature of Koreeda’s filming style?
A. No tension present at all.
B. Being full of small boring details.
C. Focusing on the hard time of poor families.
D. Showing ordinary life through the details of daily life.
3.What does Koreeda want to show us in the movie?
A. The meaning of a family.
B. How to get long with our families.
C. The ordinary life in a Japanese family.
D. The different relationship in a poor family.
4.This passage is mainly about _____.
A. family relations B. a film directed by Koreeda
C. a famous Japanese director D. features of Koreeda’s films

From the moment you open your eyes in the morning, you can feel sweat running down your body, even if you're barely moving at all. That's what most people in China felt like this
summer. In fact, the entire northern hemisphere(半球 )saw high temperatures in July.
The Arctic Circle was no exception(例外). Temperatures in the city of Norilsk, which is in the Arctic Circle, reached a record high of 32 ℃, The Atlantic reported. Temperatures there are usually just 10 ℃at this time of the year.
The heat wave in the Arctic is mainly a long-term result of global warming, according to the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences. In fact, while the whole world is getting warmer, the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. This is called the polar amplification effect（极地放大效应）.
The most direct impact of Arctic warming is the melting of Arctic ice. According to NASA, Arctic sea ice is now disappearing at a rate of 13.2 percent every 10 years. NASA said that if this continues, the Arctic will have no ice by the year 2040.
This has put some Arctic animals, like polar bears, in danger. The ice that the bears live on has shrunk(缩小), the Toronto Star reported.
Melting ice can also cause sea levels to rise in the long term. Since 1993, sea levels have risen at a rate of 3.2 cm every 10 years, the Guardian reported. Some countries, such as Tuvalu（图瓦鲁） in the South Pacific Ocean and Maldives（马尔代夫） in the Indian Ocean, are at risk of disappearing into the sea
1.Which of the following is true?
A. Some countries in the ocean will disappear in 10 years
B. China is the hottest in the northern hemisphere this summer
C. The temperatures in Norilsk used to be lower than this summer.
D. The world gets warmer because of the heat wave in the Arctic
2.What does the underlined word "this" in the third paragraph refer to?
A. The heat wave in the Arctic B. The result of global warming
C. Getting warmer in the world D. The Arctic getting warm faster
3.What may be the result of the melting of Arctic ice?
A. The polar will become dangerous B. Sea levels rise in the long term
C. There will be an end of water shortage D. There will be no ice in the world by 2040
4.What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Heat hits Arctic
B. Arctic animals are in danger.
C. The world became hotter than before
D. Some countries may disappear into the sea

Our solar system might be crazier than we once thought. Scientists say that deep within Uranus（天王星） and Neptune（海王星） it rains diamonds．
On Earth. diamonds form under extreme heat and pressure. The inside of Uranus and Neptune also has high temperatures and pressures. What's more, the blue planets are largely made up of icy water and gases such as methane(甲烷).
So scientists have long believed that deep inside the two planets, the heat and pressure the methane into hydrogen (氢)and carbon (碳) Then diamond rain would form, falling toward the center of the planets.
But no one could prove that this would really work-until now. In a study published recently in the journal Nature Astronomy, scientists say they were able to create this kind of "diamond rain" in a lab, reported The Guardian.
Scientists used high-powered lasers to create pairs of shockwaves through a kind of plastic. The plastic is made from hydrogen and carbon, much like methane. The shock waves created high pressure and heat, like that inside Uranus and Neptune.
"The experimental time is very short, Dominik Kraus, lead author of the study, told The Guardian. "That we saw this very clear signature of diamonds was actually very, very surprising”.
The diamonds created in the lab were tiny, only a few nanometers (纳米)wide. Scientists believe that diamonds would be much larger within Neptune and Uranus. Then they might slowly sink toward the planets center because of gravity.
1.What factor is needed to form diamonds?
A. Extreme heat and pressure B. Hydrogen and carbon
C. lcy water and gases D. High-powered lasers
2.What does the underlined word mean in the last paragraph?
A. Unsuccessful B. Small
C. Real D. Natural
3.How did scientists prove the theory of forming diamond?
A. By giving examples B. By stating argument
C. By explaining statistical data D. By doing experiments
4.What can be referred from the text?
A. There are many high-powered lasers in Neptune and Uranus
B. Deep inside Neptune and Uranus could be full of diamonds
C. The shockwaves inside Neptune and Uranus crate high pressure and heat.
D. Scientists long believe that there are diamonds inside Neptune and Uranus
