In it a government assassin (杀手）is being hunted down by his own clone. The original script was sold by Darren Lemke to a studio in 1997, and since then almost every male A-listener has been attached as a potential star. Now, at long last, Ang Lee has directed Gemini Man, and Will Smith plays both the veteran assassin and his much younger doppelganger (分身).Jojo RabbitDuring World War Two, a 10-year-old German boy (Roman Griffin David) is desperate to be a dutiful Nazi, only to discover that his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their house. It may not sound like the stuff of a big-hearted comedy but Taika Waititi can make anything warm and funny. As well as writing and directing Jojo Rabbit, Waititi co-stars as the boys imaginary friend, a nitwitted Adolf Hitler.Doctor SleepMike Flanags new film is adapted from Stephen King, novel, Doctor Sleep, which was a sequel (续集) to The Shining. You can expect to see blood flowing out of lifts in a rapid stream, ghostly twin girls and Headache-including carpet patterns. Ewan McGregor stars as Danny Torrance, the boy with psychic powers m 1980 film. Now, he is a middle-aged hospital counsellor.Maleficent: Mistress of EvilHeres another chance to see Angelina Jolie. In 2014 she starred in Maleficent, Disneys live-action remake of the Sleeping Beauty cartoon from 1959. The twist was that the eponymous wicked（邪恶的） fairy wasnt so wicked, after all, and that the real villain was the father of Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning). The sequels subtitle promises that Maleficent will actually be evil this time around, her change of heart prompted by Auroras engagement to handsome prince (Harris Dickinson).21. What can we learn from this passage?A. Ewan McGregor plays a role in Doctor Sleep.B. Taika Waititi is the main character in Jojo Rabbit.C. Gemini Man is adapted from a 20-year-old TV series.D. The real wicked character in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is Aurora.22.Who worked as a director as well as an actor?A. Will Smith B. WaititiC. Ewan McGregorD. Angelina Jolie23. If your friend wants to see a horror movie, which one will you recommend?A. Gemini Man B. Jojo Babbit C. Doctor Sleep D. Maleficent: Mistress of EvilBHigh school student Gabriella MacAdam already has a lot on her plate.A senior at San Juan Hills High School in the US, MacAdam is senior class president, vice-president of the schools National Honor Society, and captain of the volleyball team. But twice a month, MacAdam heads to the Oak Knoll Clubhouse to attend meetings of the Teen Leadership Council (TLC), a volunteer program that gives students the chance to work on leadership skills while contributing to events and activities. “Were trying to inspire other teens to get involved . not only for our generation, but for future teenagers,” she said. “Its never too early to start learning to be a leader.”MacAdam is one of 26 middle school and high school students in the group, which was formed in 2010. Its activities range from Teen Movie Nights to setting up booths at public events, such as the Harvest Festival. The purpose of the group is not only to allow teenagers to have a say in the shape of the community, but to mold (塑造) them into young leaders. “The thought was to have a good, positive place for teens to get together, to learn these basic leadership skills, to send them out to the community and to be our future leaders,” said Tamara Bush, an adviser for TLC.In the group, everyone gets a chance to present their ideas, and everyone gets a voice and a chance to vote. MacAdam said that inclusiveness (包容) helps boost (增强) the confidence of individual members. “Its really made a positive difference in people,” she said. “Everyone is getting involved. They arent afraid to volunteer or speak their minds.”MacAdam waited for her chance to join TLC after watching her older sister volunteer on the council. Others, like San Juan Hills student Anya Searle, joined because they enjoy the extra responsibility. “We didnt have that many responsibilities and we wanted to act older than we really were,” Searle joked. MacAdam said being on the council has helped her manage all the different activities in which she participates. She plans to study communications in college and recently had an interview with USC.“I feel Im more prepared to go into that industry knowing how to communicate with people and get things done in a time-management order,” she said. “Its taught me how to work with a diverse group of people and manage things well.”24.By saying Gabriella Mac-Adam “has a lot on her plate”, the author suggests that Gabriella _. A. has to be careful with her diet B. has more than enough distractions C. has many responsibilities to deal with D. has too much study work to catch up with25. According to the article, the main purpose of the Teen Leadership Council is to _. A. make preparations for the local Harvest Festival B. help teen volunteers develop leadership skills C. improve the academic performance of local teenagers D. bring in fresh ideas to local community events and activities26. Which of the following words best describe the events at the Teen Leadership Council? A. Educational but boring. B. Diverse and difficult. C. Inspiring and open. D. Exciting and humorous.27. We can infer from the article that Anya Searle _. A. got to know TLC via her older sister B. welcomed the challenges and pressures of TLC events C. used to have great trouble managing her time D. joined TLC to become more confidentCIt is surprising that, although disease is such a big problem in Africa, the majority of medical research happens in Europe. Genetic (基因的) research in a continent where genetic diversity is high, like Africa, can give us a better understanding of why people get certain diseases.A new study helps us understand genetic distinction in different regions and groups of people. It also shows how humans moved across Africa thousands of years ago. This study has taken around two and a half years to complete. A team of scientists worked with doctors and experts across Africa and took genetic samples from 1,481 people from 18 groups in central and southern Africa.Imagine a bottle filled with little stones. All the stones are different shapes, colors and sizes. One or two fall out, move to different places and create new stones that look the same. The many stones left in the bottle are Africas population, which is why Africa has the most diverse population in the world. The one or two stones that fell out and created new stones are the populations of other parts of the world. They are less diverse. This is what happened about 80 to 100 thousand years ago, when some people left Africa and travelled to Europe and Asia.Many events in history have joined different groups together and changed the genetic map of the continent. One of the biggest events happened with a language group in Africa called the Bantu. Around 70 percent of Africans belong to this group. They were farmers who moved across Africa around 5,000 years ago. When they moved, they often mixed with local people. Genetic research also shows that some Europeans and Asians might have moved back to Africa 9,000 years ago.One of the main results of the study is that large genetic research projects in Africa that dont cost too much money have been made possible. More studies could help us understand different diseases better, but this might take a long time. It may be half a century before we can get direct health benefits, but starting the investment in this research now could have big benefits, too. If we understand the genetic map of Africa, we can understand diseases that affect Africans better. And this means we can start to develop better ways of helping the people of Africa.28. What does the underlined words “distinction” mean in Paragraph 2?A. changeB. creation C. reform D. difference29.The example of “a bottle filled with little stones” is used to _. A. show how new populations are created during the process B. illustrate why Africa has a large population in the world C. explain why Africas population is the most diverse in the world D. explain why some people left Africa and travelled to Europe and Asia30. Which factors have mainly influenced the genetic map of Africa according to the article? A. Population size and makeup. B. Wars and other violent events. C. Peoples migration and the way they have mixed. D. Big changes in lifestyle and language.31. It can be concluded from the last paragraph that _. A. carrying out large genetic research projects in Africa is not affordable B. the study has found the relationship between genetic diversity and different diseases C. genetic studies will help us get rid of different diseases in Africa in the future D. the health benefits of genetic studies will not be seen in the near futureDMicrosoft announced this week that its facial-recognition system is now more accurate in identifying people of color, touting (吹嘘）its progress at tackling one of the technologys biggest biases (偏见).But critics, citing Microsofts work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, quickly seized on how that improved technology might be used. The agency contracts with Microsoft for cloud-computing tools that the tech giant says is largely limited to office work but can also include face recognition.Columbia University professor Alondra Nelson tweeted, “We must stop confusing inclusion in more diverse surveillance (监管）systems with justice and equality.”Facial-recognition systems more often misidentify people of color because of a long-running data problem：The massive sets of facial images they train on skew(歪曲) heavily toward white men. A Massachusetts Institute of Technology study this year of the face-recognition systems designed by Microsoft, IBM and the China-based Face found that facial-recognition systems consistently giving the wrong gender for famous women of color including Oprah Winfrey, Serena Williams, Michelle Obama and Shirley Chisholm, the first black female member of Congress.The companies have responded in recent months by pouring many more photos into the mix, hoping to train the systems to better tell the differences among more than just white faces. IBM said Wednesday it used 1 million facial images, taken from the photo-sharing site Flickr, to build the “worlds largest facial data-set” which it will release publicly for other companies to use.IBM and Microsoft say that allowed its systems to recognize gender and skin tone with much more precision. Microsoft said its improved system reduced the error rates for darker-skinned men and women by “up to 20 times,” and reduced error rates for all women by nine times.Those improvements were heralded（宣布）by some for taking aim at the prejudices in a rapidly spreading technology, including potentially reducing the kinds of false positives that could lead police officers misidentify a criminal suspect.But others suggested that the technologys increasing accuracy could also make it more marketable. The system should be accurate, “but thats just the beginning, not the end, of their ethical obligation,” said David Robinson, managing director of the think tank Upturn.At the center of that debate is Microsoft, whose multimillion-dollar contracts with ICE came under fire amid the agencys separation of migrant parents and children at the Mexican border.In an open letter to Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella urging the company to cancel that contract, Microsoft workers pointed to a company blog post in January that said Azure Government would help ICE “accelerate recognition and identification.” “We believe that Microsoft must take an ethical stand, and put children and families above profits,” the letter said.A Microsoft spokesman, pointing to a statement last week from Nadella, said the companys “current cloud engagement” with ICE supports relatively anodyne（温和的）office work such as “mail, calendar, massaging and document management workloads.” The company said in a statement that its facial-recognition improvements are “part of our going work to address the industry-wide and societal issues on bias.”Criticism of face recognition will probably expand as the technology finds its way into more areas, including airports, stores and schools. The Orlando police department said this week that it would not renew its use of Amazon. coms Rekognition system.“Companies have to acknowledge their moral involvement in the downstream use of their technology,” Robinson said. “The impulse is that theyre going to put a product out there and wash their hands of the consequences. Thats unacceptable.”32. What can we know about the improvement of facial-recognition technology?A. Justice and equality have been truly achieved.B. It is due to the expansion of the photo database.C. It has already solved all the social issues on biases.D. The separation of immigrant parents from their children can be avoided.33. What is the focus of the face-recognition debate?A. Data problems.B. The market value.C. The application field. D. A moral issue34. We can infer from the last paragraph that Robinson thinks _.A. companies had better hide from responsibilitiesB. companies deny problems with its technical processC. companies should not launch new products on impulseD. companies should be responsible for the new product and the consequences35. Which can be the suitable title for the passage? A. The wide use of Microsoft system B. Fears of facial-recognition technology C. The improvement of Microsoft system D. Failure of recognizing black women第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Like any language, English has many variations（变形）in vocabulary, spelling and pronunciation. The differences can be regional（地区性的）or even exist within the same city! As a Canadian who lives in Vancouver, _36_, but I didnt get to experience them until I began attending an American university.I found that there are some Canadian words that people in the US just dont understand, such as a “tuque”, which is a warm, knitted（针织的）hat, and “runners”, which are sneakers. My friends tease me every time I use the “washroom”, as the word isnt used in the US“bathroom”, “toilet”, and “restroom” are often us
