An animated(动画) film Coco has made a dark horse in the Chinese film box office competition at the end of these recent two years. Since its first run on Nov 24, 2017 in China, the animation has taken in over 602 million yuan. Against the background of the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos, a day in memory of the dead, it centers on a 12-year-old boy named Miguel accidentally transported to the land of the dead, where he seeks his great-great-grandfather’s help to be a great musician and also return him to his family.

Coco has scored 9. l of 10 points at Chinese movie review website Douban for its warm story, popular soundtrack and, most of all, meaningful theme. However, the film wasn't favored by Chinese moviegoers at first because of the poor translation of the film title.

It was called “Xun Meng Huan You Ji”, meaning the journey to chase dreams in Chinese.” It's such an improper name. The film is more than a little boy's musical dreams—it also explores the meaning of life and death." said a Sina Weibo user Gu Xudong. “The awful translation almost made me miss such a great film. When I first noticed its name, I thought it another Forrest Gump.” said the Sina Weibo user Xiao Pihai.

Some locations featured in the animation have gained much attention on Chinese social media platforms like WeChat and Sina Weibo. And many people expressed their hopes to visit these scenic spots in the future. Meanwhile, the film's universal values that you should cherish your family and loved ones won much appreciation from the audiences. The boy's grandma Coco reminded me of my grandmother. I couldn't help but sob at the cinema." said the netizen Xu Lingling.

The meaning of life and death is an everlasting issue for humans. And it seems unlikely to be explored in animation, but more animated films are going in that direction. Coco tells us, “Death is not a scary thing at all, but being forgotten by others should be.” “The physical death is not the final destination. The moment when no living people remember who you are, then you have gone forever,” is one of the most impressive lyrics in the film.

1.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph1 refer to?

A.the background. B.the animation.

C.the Mexican holiday. D.the memory of the dead.

2.Coco has achieved great success at the popular Chinese movie review website mainly because of _______.

A.interesting story. B.meaningful theme.

C.positive energy. D.popular soundtrack.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Xu Lingling had a low opinion of the translation of the film title.

B.People would rather die than be forgotten by others.

C.The film’s values won much appreciation from the audiences.

D.Many people visited these scenic locations featured in the animation.

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A.People increasingly love cross cultural stories.

B.An animated film exploring life and death wins big.

C.Profound truths are revealed in an animated film.

D.Poor translation arouses debate.

Since Abbi Hickman was just a little girl, she has been surrounded by animals. Chickens, cats, dogs, rabbits, and sometimes goats are just some of the animals she cares for. At the age of 9, Abbi went to the Tracy Animal Shelter，in her hometown of Tracy，California，to adopt Sheldon，her favorite cat. There，she saw the poor conditions that the animals were kept in. Abbi knew that it was her duty to take action.

Pins for Pets is Abbi’s solution. For the last three years, she has organized a bowling tournament to raise funds for the Tracy Animal Shelter. She has raised more than $30,000, resulting in a better home for the animals. “Now the shelter is nicer and cleaner and animals have more space. It is far better, a hundred percent better,” Abbi says.

To praise Abbi for her outstanding efforts, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) named her the 2015 ASPCA Tommy P. Monahan Kid of the Year. This award is given to kids who make a substantial (大量的) effort to help animals. Abbi responded to the news of her win with shock. “I was pretty excited. I’ m really honored to receive it,” she says.

Sacrificing time and effort to assist animals can sometimes be difficult, but Abbi hopes to do more. “I want to spread my free services to more shelters. I really just hope people are kinder to animals and respect them more,” says Abbi, sharing her goals for her organization.

At the age of 12, Abbi has already accomplished so much. The advice she has for kids like her, who want to accomplish their goals, is, “Nothing is impossible. You can do anything you put your mind to. Even if it is something small, it can make a huge difference.” Abbi’s work has improved the lives of animals, and she plans to keep coming up with new ways to help them.

At Japan’s Studio Ghibli, which has produced extraordinary animated films(动画片）since 1985, the best-known figure has always been one of the company’s founders, Hayao Miyazaki.

But an equally key figure is co-founder Isao Takahata, who has recently made a new feature, The Tale of Princess Kagnya. It is an unforgettable feature with an unusual hand-drawn aesthetic(美感).

The title character is a tiny baby girl who appears in a bamboo plant. She is found by a woodcutter, who takes her home and brings her up. He believes the little girl is a princess, and sets about preparing what he regards as a suitable world for her.

This original story is the oldest work of fiction in Japan; every child knows it in its simplified folktale form.

“It is a fascinating story with elements of wonder, humour, and sorrow,’’ Takahata says, “but these three elements are scattered(分散）about.” The chief challenge for anyone trying to adapt it is that “we are completely unable to comprehend what was in the heart of Princess Kaguya. Because of this, despite its being well known, few people consider it interesting. There have been several attempts at making a film out of the story, but they ended up being abandoned.”

He was connected with one of these attempts, but no one paid any attention to his concept.

“Fifty-five years later, I thought my concept was still appealing, and used it as a basis for turning the story into a feature film.”

His concept involves the princess’s origins, her expectations and her access to “the full range of human emotions”.

To realize his vision, Takahata says, “I needed to take the extremely individualistic brushwork and key designs of Osamu Tanabe and Kazuo Oga, two brilliantly talented artists, and have them permeate(扩散）throughout the film. The two of them drew many pictures, but they weren’t nearly enough. The most challenging part was to have all the other animation staff copy their styles in a free and easy way.”

The Tale of Princess Kaguya has been released, and people are saying that the two founders, now in their seventies, have directed their final films. But is it as clear-cut as that? When I ask Takahata about a scene of escape and urgency with a particularly distinctive (独特的) visual style, he says he had intended to use “this type of rough-drawn, forceful animation, in a project before this film.

“That project hasn’t been realized yet, but if it comes to pass, this style is essential.”

A hint, perhaps, there's still more to come.

1.Which of the following choices has got the right match?

A.① d　　　　　　 B. ② a　　　　 C.③ b　　　　　　 D.④ c

2.Why is it challenging to adapt the original story to a feature film according to the passage?

A. Because people are in the dark about the feelings of Princess Kaguya.

B. Because the story itself offers a combination of wonder, humour and sorrow.

C. Because the story is too old to appeal to the audience nowadays.

D. Because every Japanese has been familiar with the story ever since childhood

3.From the Takahata version of The Tale of Princess Kaguya, we can expect the following except ________.

A. more details about the Princess’s origins and expectations

B. a forceful animation type featuring fine images and gentle brushwork

C. the distinctive brushwork and key designs from two gifted artists

D. a hand-drawn visual effect that brings out a unique sense of beauty

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

An electric signal can trick a monkey’s brain into believing the animal’s finger has been touched.

Touch something, and your brain knows. The hand sends signals to the brain to announce contact was made. But that feeling of touch may not require making actual contact, tests on monkeys now show. Zapping brain cells can fool the animal into thinking its finger has touched something.

A person who has lost a limb or become paralyzed may need an artificial limb to complete everyday tasks. But such patients may not truly feel any objects they hold. The new findings point toward one day creating a sense of touch in those who use such artificial limbs. Psychologist Sliman Bensmaia of University of Chicago worked on the new tests. His team’s findings appeared on October 14 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America.

The sense of touch is crucial to everyday tasks: People without it may have difficulty cracking an egg, lifting a cup or even turning a doorknob. That’s why restoring it is a major goal for designers of artificial limbs.

In their new study, Bensmaia and his co-workers worked with rhesus monkeys (恒河猴). The scientists implanted electrodes (电极)--- small devices that can detect and relay an electrical signal—into the animals’ brains. The scientists used the electrode data to identify which neurons had become active. Then the scientists used the implanted electrodes to zap those same neurons. And the monkeys reacted as though their fingers had been touched. In fact, they hadn’t.

The monkeys couldn’t use words to tell the scientists what they had felt. Instead, they communicated by looking in a particular direction—just as when they had really been touched.

The new findings show how touch-sensitive devices could be built. The new study also offers “ a nice clear pathway” for figuring out how to restore a sense of touch to an amputee(被截肢者) or someone with a injury of spinal cord.

The study shows how artificial limbs might be connected to the brain so that a person can “feel” with such a prosthesis (假肢). But such a supersensory device doesn’t exist yet and scientists have a lot of work to do before people will benefit from it. Researchers must first figure out whether the electrodes would work in people in the same way they do in monkeys.

“ I think the foundation is laid for human trials,” Bensmaia said.

1.What does the underlined word “it” refer to ?

A. The sense of touch.

B. An artificial limb.

C. The turning of a doorknob.

D. The lifting of a cup

2.Bensmania tested monkeys to prove that the feeling of touch_________.

A. is important to everyday tasks

B. may not require making actual contact

C. is a problem of life and death

D. may be a challenge for designers of artificial limbs.

3.Monkeys tell researchers their sense of touch by _______.

A. putting up one of their fingers

B. making their brain cells active

C. looking in a particular direction

D. mimicking natural signals in the brain

4.The last sentence of the text suggests humans _________.

A. will use touch-sensitive devices

B. will test monkeys soon

C. lay foundations for monkey trials

D. will be tested on the electrodes

5.The passage is mainly about ________.

A. restoring a sense of touch

B. fooling a clever monkey

C. making new artificial limbs

D. sending a signal with a touch
