It was 38 designed to accept 120 students, but around 200 attended the first two lessons.However, the new course has caused a heated public debate.

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 2020 she starred in Maleficent, Disneys live-action remake of the Sleeping Beauty cartoon from 1959. The twist was that the eponymous wicked 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).56. 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-yem-old TV series.D. The real wicked character in Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is Aurora.57. 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 EvilBBy analyzing the fossilized teeth of some of our most ancient ancestors, a team of scientists led by the universities of Bristol (UK) and Lyon (France) have discovered that the first humans significantly breastfed their infants (婴儿) for longer periods than their contemporary relatives.The results, published in the journalScience Advances, provide a first insight into the practice of weaning （断奶）that remain otherwise unseen in the fossil record.The team sampled minute amounts from nearly 40 fossilized teeth of our South African fossil relatives, earlyHomo,Paranthropus robustusandAustralopithecus africanus. They measured the proportions of their stable calcium isotopes （同位素）in the tooth enamel（牙釉质）, which are a function of the mother milk intake by infants. They show that earlyHomooffspring（后代） was breastfed in significant proportions until the age of around three to four years, which likely played a role in the apparition of traits that are specific to human lineage（血统）, such as the brain development.In contrast, infants ofParanthropus robustus, that became extinct around one million years ago and were a more robust species in terms of dental anatomy, as well as infants ofAustralopithecus africanus, stopped drinking sizeable proportions of mother milk in the course of the first months of life.These differences in nursing behaviors likely come with major changes in the social structures of groups as well as the time between the birth of one child and the birth of the next.One of the studys lead authors, Dr Theo Tacail said: The practice of weaning - the duration of breastfeeding, age at non-milk food introduction and the age at cessation of suckling - differs among the modern members of the hominid family which includes humans and modern great apes: orangutan, gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos.The development of such behavioral differences likely played major roles in the evolution of the members of human lineage, being associated for instance with size and structure of social groups, brain development.However, getting insights into these behavioral changes from fossils that are millions of years old is a challenge and, so far, little evidence allow discussing nursing practices in these fossil species.The findings stress the need for further exploration of calcium stables isotopes compositions in the fossil record in order to understand the co-evolution of weaning practices with other traits such as brain size or social behaviors.58. What do we know the findings of the team?A. It takes the lead in focusing on Practice weaning.B. It has disclosed the link between the weaning practice and other traits.C. It is evident that nursing practice is associated with behavioral changes.D. Its contemporary humans that spend more time breastfeeding their infants.59. What does the underlined phrase “such behavioral differences” in Paragraph 7 most probably refer to?A. Differences in the calcium isotope in the teeth. B. Differences in the social structure of groups.C. Differences in the practice of weaning. D. Differences in the change of behaviors.60. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The evolution of human lineageB. The possible influence of nursing behaviors.C. The exploration of compositions in the fossil.D. The function of mother milk at the age of infants.CFace App has taken the world by storm, giving users the chance to see themselves age through its algorithm. 12.7 million people-some three million more than the population of New York Cityreportedly downloaded it in one seven-day period last month.Although the Russian app has become known for its privacy issues, the more interesting lesson of our Face App fling (尽情玩乐）is what it tells us about our societyand our future lives. It turns out we are more interested in aging than we realized. Im surprised by this. Most younger people are in denial (否认）about old age, doing almost nothing to prepare for it. We rarely have a chance to plan for the future, with increasing time and financial pressures. Those pressures bring sacrifices that we may not always want to make: we can no longer afford to spend the time or the money needed to look after our elderly parents.As a family doctor, I can see the loneliness epidemic developing. Elderly patients come to see me with no particular illness, no clear medical issue. After a few minutes of the consultation, I understand why: theyre not sick, and often they dont feel sick. They just need someoneanyone-to talk to.Although loneliness has no medical classification, the health effects are real: the result of loneliness and isolation can be as harmful to our health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, and is more damaging than obesity. But loneliness does not come with nearly enough health warnings.So what next? Since 1980, we are living on average 10 years longer. At the same time, people are having fewer and fewer children, and they are having them much later in life. The snake of a world class health service is eating its own tail; its care is prolonging (延长) peoples lives, but as the ratio of pensioners（退休人员）to working -age people increases, there are fewer taxpayers to fund that very health service.Into this void have stepped NGOs, charities and volunteers. But in the long term, the only way to truly help the oldest meters of our society is to go back to the traditional values of intergenerational（两代间的）cooperationoften under same roof. Ultimately, we will need to evolve towards a culture where elderly care is treated the same as childcare, where employers recognize the duty of someone with an elderly parent the same way they recognize those of someone with a newborn child.61. The example of FaceApp is used to _.A. prove the popularity of it B. explain the function of itC. show the progress of technology D. introduce the topic of aging and loneliness62. What makes elderly people without illness go to see their family doctors?A. Desire to have the consultation. B. Strong feeling of loneliness.C. Unclear medical issues. D. Questions to ask doctors.63. How can the oldest members be truly helped?A. By being treated as children.B. By going back to the traditional society.C. By providing family care.D. By living with other elderly people under the same roof.64. What can we learn from the passage?A. The loneliness of elderly people needs more attention.B. FaceApps popularity proves it has no security problems.C. Health service lacks fund because of prolonged peopled lives.D. FaceApp is helpful in dealing with elderly peopled loneliness.DMicrosoft 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 sy
