Even though it’s the 18th movie from the Marvel Universe, Black Panther is the first one to feature a black superhero with a primarily black cast(演员阵容).

The film tells the story of the Black Panther, a superhero who takes his father’s place as king of the fictional African country Wakanda. The film came out in Chinese mainland cinemas on March 9, passing the $1 billion (about 6 billion yuan) mark at the global box office and becoming the No. 2 superhero release of all time on March 10.

However, Black Panther means more than just the money it’s making. As the Guardian noted, the film is already being regarded as “a positive force for social change”.

The wild success of Black Panther lies in the fact that it gives voices to minorities who are rarely given room in popular culture. “It carries a weight that neither Thor nor Captain America could lift: serving a black audience that has long gone under-represented,” Time noted.

“It makes me feel proud and confident that we made it on screen in that way,” Rasheed Butler, 14, from a black community in California, US, told the Marin Independent Journal.

The superhero Black Panther is inspiring, but the movie also highlights brilliant black women. For example, Black Panther’s teenage sister is a tech genius. She designs gadgets for her brother and develops resources that make the isolated Wakanda wealthy scientifically and technologically advanced.

“What I love about the way this film represents women is that each and every one of us is an individual, unique,” Kenyan-Mexican actress Lupita Nyong’o, who plays a spy in the movie, told the Los Angeles Times. “I think that’s a very powerful message to send to children – both male and female.”

Powerful characters aside, the movie has social implications. While the Black Panther tries to keep his country and people away from the outside world, others want to make use of Wakanda’s advanced technology to fight injustice . “But neither option is truly tenable,” The Verge noted. “It suggests that these destructive cycles may only be broken through guidance, education, and global leadership.”

Instead of hiding away from current issues of race and economic differences, the movie explores what it means to be black in the US, in Africa and in the world. It deals “head-on with the issues affecting modern-day black life”, Time concluded.

41. What is the article mainly about?

A. The success and main plot of Black Panther.

B. The charm of the main characters in Black Panther.

C. The main characters and social impact of Black Panther.

D. How black women are represented in Black Panther.

42. According to the article, the movie Black Panther is successful mainly because _______.

A. it reflects social changes in African countries.

B. it makes the voices of black people heard.

C. it is the first movie to feature black women.

D. it explores the issues of race and economic differences.

43. According to Lupita Nyong’o, women in the movie are shown as _______.

A. isolated and uneducated.

B. brave and powerful.

C. having a gift for film.

D. having a unique personality.

44. The underlined word “tenable” in the second-to-last paragraph probably means _____.

A. wrong B. easy

C. reasonable D. interesting

45. What does The Verge think could be the solution to the injustice facing the people of Wakanda?

A. Improving their economic situations.

B. Staying away from the outside world.

C. Making use of their advanced technology to fight it.

D. Advancing their education, guidance and leadership.

【答案】41. C 42. B 43. D 44. C 45. D

C

Having a job is great, I have learned. It means I can afford things such as a place to live and daily meals. And with an above-average job, I can afford a car and occasional overseas vacations.

However, I also understand how difficult it is to have a below-average job, having had many of them before. It’s frankly pretty awful. Owning a car was out of the question – I could barely afford to ride the subway.

So, I decided to go to university and get a degree.

Later, I emailed my details to every company and government institution with an online careers page. I even printed my resume and handed it out in what seemed like hundreds of office buildings.

One summer during university, my cousin and I helped out at my uncle’s business, fixing roofs, although the only thing I got out of that was back problems.

That same year, I got a job at a plumbing(管道工程) company, which I was terrible at. It was no surprise when I was asked to leave that job after only four days.

A lot of people today believe the problem of unemployment in my generation is our fault. Some accuse us of being lazy or feeling too entitled(有资格的). At the same time, some people accuse members of my generation of having a sense of “specialness” that has led us to believe we can all be astronauts, movie stars or singers if we put our minds to it. Also, a few of them think that we would all be happily employed if we would only learn trades or become software engineers, because those people make the most money.

I realize that not everyone can go into space, star in Hollywood movies or fill stadiums with fans, however. I also think not everyone can make a good electrician or design advanced computer software – I know I can’t. Everyone is good at something, but no one is good at everything. It took me hundreds of rejection emails to realize that I had to focus on finding a job where I could actually be successful.

And now, I finally have that job. All it took was several years of desperation, failure and an honest assessment(评估) of my personal value in the job market.

It’s not the best start, but it’s not bad for a start too.

46. What was the author’s life like before he went to university?

A. He had always been looking forward to owning a car.

B. He found it hard to make ends meet.

C. He had taken above-average and below-average jobs.

D. He went on overseas vacations sometimes.

47. What happened when the author tried to find a good job?

A. It didn’t take long for him to land a great job.

B. He gained a lot of skills when working at his uncle’s business.

C. He got through a lot of difficulties in the process.

D. He quit the plumbing company because he disliked the job.

48. What did the author think was the main reason for his unemployment?

A. His laziness and arrogance.

B. His sense of “specialness”.

C. His high expectation of himself.

D. His failure to recognize his own strengths.

A. It’s highly paid.

B. It’s a little bit boring.

C. It’s challenging for him.

D. It’s satisfying for him.

50. The author wrote this article mainly to ______.

A. share his reflections on finding a job

【答案】46. B 47. C 48. D 49. D 50. A

Tiny as they are, bats have the ability to “see” in the dark by using a special skill called echolocation(回声定位法). They make noises and wait for sound waves, or an echo, to bounce(反弹) back off objects. They can tell the distance of various objects by how quickly the sound waves bounce back off them. If no sound bounces back, they can then fly forward.

This special ability has been simulated in the human world for a long time, such as in submarines and planes, whose sonar(声呐) systems are somewhat similar to echolocation. But apart from helping vehicles “see” where they are, what if blind people could use echolocation for themselves? It turns out, some already are.

American Daniel Kish, who is blind, is known as “Batman”. This isn’t because he walks around in a cape and a mask, but because he has a bat-like ability to locate where he is through sharp clicks he makes by moving his tongue against the roof of his mouth. Kish is so skilled at echolocating that he can ride a bike and hike on his own.

Recently, research carried out at the University of Durham in England shed some light on the power of human echolocation.

Kish worked with a group of scientists who studied the way blind people listen to the echoes that they produce from clicks.

The team, which conducted experiments with other volunteers, found that people were capable of hearing even very faint echoes, ones far fainter than had been previously thought.

Speaking to The Independent, Lore Thaler, lead scientist of the group, said, “We found that in some conditions, they were really faint – about 95 percent softer than the actual clicks, but the echolocators were still able to sense this.”

Andrew Kolarik of the University of Cambridge is another expert in echolocation. Reacting to the Durham study, he told BBC News that echolocation “can be very useful at providing information at face or chest height” and could help people “avoid objects like low hanging branches that might not get detected by the cane or a guide dog”.

Although Kish’s skill is remarkable, there’s hope for other blind people who want to use echolocation. According to BBC News, echolocation is a skill blind people can acquire and develop, just like learning a language. As Kolarik said: “Teaching echolocation skills could provide blind people with the means of exploring new places.”

51. The underlined word “simulated” in Paragraph 2 probably means _______.

A. discovered B. copied

C. improved D. challenged

52. How does Kish locate where he is?

A. By using his great sense of hearing.

B. By listening to the echoes produced by his cane.

C. Via the echoes from the clicks he makes with his tongue.

D. Via the sonar system attached to his body.

53. What did Lore Thaler’s team find from their studies?

A. It is hard for echolocators to sense faint echoes.

B. Humans can echolocate better than we thought we could.

C. Echolocators can pick up all types of echoes.

D. Blind people are better echolocators than those who can see.

54. According to the article, teaching echolocation to blind people _______.

A. will enable them to get rid of their cane

B. will improve their ability to learn a new language

C. will open up new possibilities for them

D. is not easy to put into practice

55. What is the article mainly about?

A. Studies on blind people using echolocation.

B. Different types of human echolocation.

C. The importance of human echolocation.

D. Why bats’ echolocation could be used by humans.

【答案】51. B 52. C 53. B 54. C 55. A

Most of us probably dreamed about becoming an astronaut when we were little. But how many of us actually became one, or are at least working toward it?

The advice “Always follow your dreams” is something that is typically easier said than done.

But still, this is the one piece of advice that Alyssa Carson wants to share with her peers. This 17-year-old girl from the US has become one of the candidates for NASA’s 2033 project to go to Mars. If everything goes well, Carson will be one of the first human beings to ever set foot on the red planet.

Carson has dreamed of going to Mars since she was only three years old. Watching an astronaut-themed cartoon and learning that humans have only been to the moon but not Mars, Carson decided that she wanted to be the first one to do so.

Since then, she has worked hard toward this goal. At the age of 12, Carson became the first person to attend all three NASA space camps, and she sat with real astronauts in a NASA panel(座谈会) to discuss the future of Mars missions.

Now 17, Carson is continuing with her space training while still taking on her high school work like a “normal” teenager, except that she studies all her subjects in four languages – English, French, Spanish and Chinese.

“I don’t think there’s anything specific that makes it easier for me or makes it something that others can’t do,” Carson said in an interview with Uproxx News. “I’ve just really focused myself on what I want to accomplish.”

And Carson is willing to make sacrifices for her dream. She’s fully aware of the danger of the mission and the possibility that she might never be able to come back. She also accepts the fact that she can’t get married and start a family because any loved ones left on Earth may be a distraction for her and for the mission. But Carson believes that it’s all worth it, summarizing her view with this ancient Greek proverb she once quoted, “A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they’ll never sit in.”

So after all the hard work that Carson has done and all the sacrifices she’s made, everything still boils down to the simple phrase, “follow your dreams”. And while some people’s dreams may sound out of this world, in Carson’s case, they literally(毫不夸张地) are.

56. What will happen to Carson in 2033 if everything goes well? (No more than 8 words)

__________________________________________________________________________

57. Why did Carson decide to be the first one to go to Mars? (No more than 20 words)

__________________________________________________________________________

58. How does Carson differ from other students for the school work? (No more than 10 words)

__________________________________________________________________________

59. How do you understand the underlined sentence? (No more than 20 words)

__________________________________________________________________________

60. What do you think of the girl? And why? (No more than 25 words)

__________________________________________________________________________

【答案】56. She will set foot on the Mars. / She will go to the Mars.

57. Because of watching an astronaut-themed cartoon and learning that humans have only been to the moon but not Mars.

58. She studies all her subjects in four languages.

59. A society will make progress if people make contributions without considering personal benefits.

60. She is brave and unselfish, because she may not return to the earth and is willing to make sacrifices for her dream.
