Yep, it really is that good.Set in a world populated by robots, Ewan McGregor plays Rodney Copperbottom, a young robot who leaves his small-town home to pursue his dream of becoming an inventor.But after arriving in Robot City, his hopes of getting a job at Bigweld Industries are destroyed when he learns the firm has been taken over by the evil Ratchet (Greg Kinnear).Egged on by his controlling mum, Madame Gasket(Jim Broadbent), Ratchet plans to reduce half on Robot Citys citizens to scrap metal by refusing to sell the spare Pans they need to survive.Instead, he wants to make a fortune selling expensive upgrades that few can afford. As he says, “Why be you when you can be new?”Aided by a few misfit robots known as the Rustles-including Robin Williams as the cowardly(胆小的) Fender (“Im made of a metal called Afraidium”)-Rodney must track down the firms founder, Bigweld(Mel Brooks), and convince him to save the city from Ratchets plans.The first thing thatll strike you about the movie is the thought thats gone into creating Robot City. Its a wondrous world full of mechanical marvels including wind-up cars and walking streetlamps.Also terrific are the special effects. This might be animated movie but at times youll catch yourself thinking its really a live-action film.Of course, there have been plenty of animated movies that looked the part but were let down by a weak storyline(see Shark Tale, for example).But Robots grips(扣人心弦)right from the start thanks to a heart-warming and thoroughly engaging plot that never bores.My only complaints are with Williams who, as usual, has a one-in-10 success rate with his jokes. Also a letdown is a romantic subplot between Rodney and a shapely robot called Cappy(Halle Berry)that doesnt go anywhere.Complains aside, this is a mechanical marvel thatll have you bolted firmly to your seat.BEST QUOTE(引述)：Fender：“Even though you had a discouraging day, just remember theres another one coming tomorrow.BEST BIT：Check out those amazing images.WORST BIT：Robin Williams character does an unfunny Britney Spears dance routine.IF YOU LIKEDIce Age, The Incredibles, Toy StoryYOULL LIKE THIS.1. This piece of writing is a _.A. commercial advertisement B. film review C. movie poster D. 1iterary essay2. The cast Of Robots is made up of all the following actors or actresses EXCEPT _.A. Ewan McGregor B. Robin Williams C. Britney Spears D. Halle Berry3. What is Shark Tale an example of?A great cast. B. A poor plot. C. Special effects. D. Clumsy animation.参考答案13、BCB2020高考训练题。阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。The first time we started using it, we thought it would just be a bit of fun, a one-time thing._A_“Lets just give it a try,” my fiance said. I was a bit nervous, but I knew some of our friends were already into it, and they said it was fine and that I should relax because everyone was doing it.“OK,” I agreed, convinced it would be harmless._B_Before long, we were using it once a week. Then it became twice a week. We went from using it after work to using it in the mornings, and then at lunchtime, too.Suddenly we reached a point where we were using it every day. Even when I wasnt using it, I was thinking about using it. _C_Thats when I realized the terrible truth. We couldnt stop.Dear readers, it shames me to admit it, but I am an addict of online shopping site Taobao.And I dont think Im the only one. _D_I see the telltale signs every where: People with bags under their eyes, clearly exhausted after staying up late browsing items they might one day need (but probably wont)，like the 1940s leather aviator cap I bought in the event I ever need to become an aviator in the 1940s. I see co-workers furtively (偷偷摸摸地）sneaking down to the mailroom, eyes darting around suspiciously.I know whats going through your mind as you read this.“This isnt me，” youre thinking, “I can stop anytime I want.”But can you?In China you can get same day delivery for just about anything you buy online. In Australia, my home country, the same item would take weeks to arrive.“Its the convenience, I said to my fiance. “Thats why were hooked.”But is that convenience worth the risk of waking up one morning to discover youve been buried alive in masses of brand new womens shoes?In my case its probably not, especially because I suspect my fiance wont realize Im missing until weeks later, when my credit card stops working and Ive long since expired.So what can you do to battle this terrible addiction?Never fear, dear readers, because Ive created a special five-step list to help you stop online shopping.Step one: Acknowledge you have a problem. Resist buying adult-sized, Star Wars Stormtrooper outfit on Taobao. You dont really need it.Step two: Try not to feel guilty about buying adult-sized, Star Wars Stormtrooper outfit on Taobao.Step three: Put the computer and smartphone away, get back to nature, and take a walk in the park.Step four: Try not to feel guilty about buying a new outfit for your walk in the park. I mean, it was on sale, right?Step five: Buying a book on how to quit Taobao.from Taobao.On second thoughts, maybe dont listen to me, after all.1.

2.7 percent of registered nurses were men.The new study，which tracked data through 2020，finds that men now make up 9.6 percent of all employed nurses in the United Statesabout 330,000 men in total.Recent years of shortages have led to increased efforts，according to the report，which included recruiting men into the field.Men，in fact，had been largely kept out of nursing in past decades because nursing schools often refused to admit men.The Supreme Court ruled that practice unconstitutional in 1981 after a case involving a state nursing school.“The relatively high wages and expanding job opportunities make this field attractive，offering stability even during recessions (经济衰退)，” wrote the reports author，Liana Christin Landivar of the US Census Bureau.“And because of high demand，nursing has low unemployment rates compared to other fields.”Men were found to be more likely to become nurse anesthetists (麻醉师)，which is the highest paid nursing occupation，and were found least likely to become licensed practical or licensed vocational nurses，the lowest paid types of nursing.Nurse anesthetists are required to get graduate education，and are certified to give anesthetists and monitor patients recovering from anesthesia.Licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses provide patients with care and may work under the supervision (监督) of a registered nurse.Registered nurses assess patients health problems and needs，develop and carry out nursing care plans，maintain medical records，and administer care.For all types of nursing，men earned，on average，$60,700 per year，while women earned $51,100 per year.“Even among men and women in the same nursing occupations，men outearn women，” wrote Landivar.1Which of the following is true about nurses in the US in the 1970s?AThe number of male nurses doubled.BAbout 2.7% of registered nurses were men.CThere were about 330,000 male nurses.DAbout 9.6% of employed nurses were men.2The underlined word

Oymyakon is the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the world.Known as the “Pole of Cold”，the coldest ever temperature recorded in Oymyakon is 71.2 .This is the lowest recorded temperature for any permanently inhabited location on Earth and the lowest temperature recorded in the northern hemisphere (北半球)Ironically，Oymyakon actually means “nonfreezing water” due to a nearby hot spring.Most homes in Oymyakon still burn coal and wood for heat and enjoy few modern conveniences.Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer (驯鹿) meat and horsemeat.A single shop provides the towns bare necessities and the locals work as reindeerbreeders，hunters and icefisherman.There are few modern conveniences in the villagewith many buildings still having outdoor toiletsand most people still burn coal and wood for heat.When coal deliveries are irregular，the power station starts burning wood.If the power ceases，the town shuts down in about five hours，and the pipes freeze and crack.Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing，glasses freezing to peoples faces and batteries losing power.Locals are said to leave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them.Even if there was coverage for mobile phone reception，the phones themselves would not work in such conditions.Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies，which can take anything up to three days.The earth must first have thawed (融解) sufficiently in order to dig it，so a bonfire is lit for a couple of hours.Hot coals are then pushed to the side and a hole couple of inches deep is dug.The process is repeated for several days until the hole is deep enough to bury the coffin.Travel companies offer tourists the opportunity to visit the village and sample life in the freezing conditions.1Oymyakon gets its name because_.Ait is extremely cold thereBits water is nonfreezingCthere is a hot spring nearbyDit is known as the “Pole of Cold”2From the passage we can infer that people in Oymyakon_.Aprefer meat to any other kind of foodBseldom have fresh vegetables and fruitsCcan buy anything in the shopDmight row a boat to catch fish3Why do the locals have their cars running all day?AThey are afraid they cant get the car started.BThey want to kee
