The stars arrived stylishly in a boat, waving to onlookers and photographers waiting on the shore of Victoria Harbor, Hong Kong.

The “Lust, Caution” famous and respectable star, Tony Leung said that there was a reason why he wanted to challenge himself to do comedy, even after he received countless accolades for his successful role of the Kung Fu master Ye Wen in “The Grandmaster.” “Basically after ‘The Grandmaster’ I don’t plan on shooting any more dramas. So I’ve been filming comedies. I think from here on now, the audience will see me more in comedies.”

In “See You Tomorrow,” Leung plays a bar owner, who’s also in the business of helping people to get back on their feet from failed marriages to falling out of love. Leung said that the role might be a far off from his past characters, but it’s a type of role that the fans will see more of from now on. He said, “I think audiences don’t get to see me in comedies a lot. I’ve spent a long time shooting dramas, so people think I’m very serious. I think people will see a huge contrast in the film.”

Co-star Eason Chan said that even though they’re old pals off screen, once they stepped onto the film set, it was strictly business. “ We could be in character instantly, that is ,the moment we arrived on set, we were the characters. So people asked us, ‘did you guys talk a lot when the cameras weren’t rolling?’ Not really because we were really into our characters. The mood on set was serious, relaxing but we were much focused. The film also stars Sandrine Pinna, Taiwan Hankaneshiro and Angela Baby.” said Eason. It is planned to be screened in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Chinese mainland over the Christmas period.

You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind. First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.

Let’s start with the wind blowing from behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90° angle (角度) the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.

If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn’t flap (摆动). It shouldn’t look like a flag on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.

Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’t go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.

1.What should you consider first while sailing?

A.Wave levels. B.Size of sails.

C.Sailors’ strength. D.Wind directions.

2.What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A.The boat. B.The wind.

C.The sail. D.The angle.

3.What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?

A.Tack the boat. B.Lower the sail.

C.Move in a straight line. D.Allow the sail to flap.

4.Where can you probably find the text?

A.In a physics textbook. B.In a tourist guidebook.

C.In a popular magazine. D.In an official report.

If an emperor penguin wants to survive in the worst of an Antarctic winter, there is no such thing as personal space. The large birds are known to stay very close to each other, feather to feather, in groups of thousands to keep out the cold.

For the first time, German researchers show that these gatherings are carefully organized structures, in which single penguins can cause mass movements within the group that is similar to the movements of cars in a traffic jam.

“If one penguin starts a wave, perhaps walking too close to its neighbor, it travels like a Mexican wave in a football stadium,” said physicist Daniel Zitterbart. The Mexican wave happens when all the people watching a sport stand up, move their arms up and down, and sit down again one after the other in a continuous movement looking like a wave on the sea.

Emperor penguins gather in formation when the temperatures drop below -18℃, using each other’s bodies to keep warm. They arrived at an arrangement that physicists recognize as a “triangular lattice structure”, with a penguin at each point of the triangle. “They gather just by their natural ability,” said Zitterbart who filmed and then analyzed the movements of the penguins.

The researchers explain that the movements of a single bird within the huddle (挤作一团的动物) can set off a chain reaction that travels through the rest of the group.

That movement is similar to what happens when a single car in a traffic jam moves forward, setting off a chain reaction of tiny movements by all of the cars behind it. But there’s a difference: only the first car in the jam can start off the group movement. On the ice, any penguin among the crowd can cause a wave of small movements.

“This is one case where a traffic jam is very useful,” said Zitterbart.

1.What do we know about the Mexican wave?

A.It is the major cause of penguins movements.

B.It is a dangerous incident that happens in stadium.

C.It is a complex structure organized by penguins.

D.It works like the movements of cars in a traffic jam.

2.Penguins’ formations　　　　　　　　 .

A.often cause trouble B.are well arranged

C.are taught by physicists D.usually move in a square shape

3.What will happen if a penguin moves in the huddle?

A.Other penguins will move one after another.

B.The penguins will spread out on the ice.

C.The whole group will move to another place.

D.Other penguins will just stay where they are.

4.Penguins “traffic jam” can help them 　　　　　 .

A.hatch their eggs B.communicate

C.keep warm D.protect their feathers

"When I was 16 years old, I was diving in Greece, but I was disappointed because I saw more plastic bags than fish.” These are the words of Boyan Slat, an engineer who designed the world's first ocean plastic cleanup system.

Every year, more than 8 million tons of plastics end up in our oceans, according to the UN Environment Programme. It is predicted that the weight of ocean plastics will match the weight of all the fish in our oceans by 2050. To prevent this from happening, in 2013 Slat created the Ocean Cleanup, an environmental non¬governmental organization, and put his plan for an ocean cleanup device into action.

After years of research and develop¬ment in the Netherlands, a device called System 001/B successfully started gathering plastics on October 2, 2019. The device uses a 600-meter-long C-shaped tube to gather all the floating rubbish. Unlike other cleanup methods, the system floats freely according to the direction of the waves, which allows waste to flow into and stay within the device. A sea anchor is attached to either end. This slows down the system as it floats through the water and allows the faster-moving rubbish, carried by the waves, to flow into its mouth. System 001/B can also collect waste below the surface using a 3-meter-deep skirt（挡板）attached to the end. After being gathered, the trash will be dragged back to shore by boat and recycled.

Right now, the system operates in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an area that is 3 times the size of France. Once operational, the Ocean Cleanup expects a full fleet to be able to clear 50% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in 5 years.

"It remains to be seen whether this dream will become a reality, but it is undeniable that humanity must work together to reduce our plastic use and repair the damage our waste has caused," Slat said. "We are starting to see a young generation that gets it and is excited about a sustainable （可持续的）future, but the question still comes down to: Are we going fast enough, and how much damage will have been done before we get there?"

1.The underlined word “match” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________”.

A.compare B.equal

C.measure D.cover

2.Why did Boyan Slat create the Ocean Cleanup?

A.To collect ocean plastic waste.

B.To help to invent System 001/B.

C.To protect the living environment of fish.

D.To do research on the ocean environment.

3.What can we know about System 001/B?

A.It can collect and recycle garbage at the same time.

B.It can only gather ocean waste which floats on the water.

C.It aims to clear up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in five years.

D.It is an ocean-cleaning device which has already been put to use.

4.What does Slat want to tell us according to the last paragraph?

A.Young generations care less about the environment.

B.The future ecology of the oceans is deeply worrying.

C.People should work hard to decrease plastic pollution.

D.It's quite difficult to repair the damage to the environment.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 续写的词数应为150左右。

It was a bright summer’s day. The weather was pleasant, but the wind from the Sahara desert made it extremely hot and wet. A ship stopped off the coast of Africa. The seagulls were circling overhead and crying loudly. In the distance, several dolphins were jumping out of the water at times to create a big white wave.

Just before sunset, the captain came on deck and called out, “Time for a swim.”

Immediately sailors jumped into the water, lowered a canvas mat (帆布垫子) and made it into a swimming pool. They had been waiting for this moment the whole day.

There were two young boys on the ship. They both jumped in, but swam out into the open sea since it was too crowded inside the “pool”. They played and chased (追逐) each other in the open sea. Their fathers cheered them on, often urging one of the boys to prove his bravery over the other.

Suddenly, something gray from a distance was coming closer and closer. Somebody from the deck called out, “Shark! Shark!” The fin was moving faster. Confusion and panic arose, and everyone climbed to safety. Everyone, except the two boys. They had not heard the shouts.

The shark was moving towards the boys.

The captain shouted, “Come back my boys! There is a shark out there!” One of the boys was his son. For the first time in his life, he didn’t know what to do. He could not think clearly. The captain’s face became as white as a sheet. He could feel his legs were shaking so badly that he nearly fell to the ground.

The people on the deck screamed wildly. But the boys could not hear them. They continued to play and to swim, unaware of the danger approaching them fast. Some sailors lowered a boat, jumped into it and attempted to row towards the boys.

Para 1: Just then, one of the boys looked back and saw the large animal he knew too well.

Para 2: Their screams brought the captain back to his senses.
