　　A

　　It looks like 2017 is shaping up to be a record-breaking year in movie history. Here is a list of some of the year’s biggest blockbusters so far.

　　Kong: Skull Island

　　A reboot (重启) of King Kong would normally get laughed at in this day and age, but it looks like this modern version of the story will be worth watching. With US actress Brie Larson and UK actor Tom Hiddleston in the mix, this film is set to be this year’s biggest monster tale.

　　Release Date: 3/10/17

　　Beauty and the Beast

　　Director Bill Condon is bringing back a part of our childhood in live action, complete with the songs we all remember and love. With British stars Emma Watson and Dan Stevens leading the cast, the classic Walt Disney story already sounds like it’ll be a delight for both children and adults.

　　Release Date: 3/17/17

　　The Fate of the Furious

　　There was doubt that we’d even get a Fast 8, especially after the fitting ending US actor Paul Walker’s character was given at the end of Furious 7. Fans thought they’d never see Dom and the rest of the crew back in action, but thankfully, US star Vin Diesel himself confirmed that The Fate of the Furious is fueling up for another go. The actor’s character, Dom, turns to the dark side, funded by new enemy Cipher, played by South African actress Charlize Theron. Can the rest of Dom’s family join together to bring their old leader down? Find out in April.

　　Release Date: 4/14/17

　　Spider Man is heading home to Marvel Studios for the first time. The movie will show us Peter Parker’s high school days, and will continue the threads we saw formed during his initial appearance in Captain America: Civil War. We know that Michael Keaton is playing The Vulture in this story, and that both Happy Hogan and Tony Stark, played by US actors Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr., are along for the ride.

　　Feeding a crowd of hundreds doesn’t make Kenny Seals-Nutt nervous.

　　In fact, he loves being in the kitchen.

　　By the time Kenny, 16, reached his third year of high school in Charlotte, US, he had become vice president of his school’s cooking club.

　　Kenny said he developed his love of cooking by watching his grandmother, who owned a business.

　　And at the age of 5, he cooked his first dish. Taking it to school for lunch, he warmed it up in the school’s microwave, while the other kids ate their sandwiches.

　　“I love to eat, and it started to become more fun to cook than to have food prepared for me,” he said.

　　Cooking came easy to Kenny, and he enjoyed adding new ingredients into common dishes. “It started with a passion and I wanted to know more,” he said.

　　Last summer, Kenny put his skills to the test by working with his grandmother to cater his uncle’s wedding. Kenny added new changes to the traditional dishes that his grandma had prepared.

　　Chef Frederick Mookie Hicks, owner of a catering business, said Kenny’s success comes from his ability to multitask in the kitchen.

　　“He’s so enthusiastic about cooking that he doesn’t let anything stop him,” Hicks said.

　　24. What inspired Kenny’s interest in cooking?

　　A. The cooking club in his school.

　　B. His love for eating.

　　C. His desire to run a catering business alone.

　　D. The sight of his grandmother cooking.

　　25. The underlined word “cater” in Paragraph 8 probably means “to ______”.

　　A. have fun at B. be present at

　　C. provide food for D. make a plan for

　　26. Which of the following best describes Kenny’s cooking?

　　27. What does Hicks think sets Kenny apart from other students?

　　Along with soccer, basketball is a global sport. As you read this, young people somewhere in the world are happily passing, dribbling and shooting. It’s enormous fun and a joyful way to spend time with others.

　　Basketball is a game for everyone. Unlike golf or tennis, it doesn’t require great wealth or a lot of space to play. After all, not many people have a golf course-sized backyard, and tennis equipment is expensive. Basketball, by contrast, just needs a wall with a hoop (篮筐) and a ball.

　　So after its invention by Canadian-American physical educator James Naismith in 1891, the sport took off with US city-dwellers, who quickly became attracted to the game because it suited their circumstances. Today, 126 years later, basketball remains one of the most popular sports in the US, and the National Basketball Association (NBA) has an increasing appeal to fans around the world.

　　The success of basketball as a global phenomenon is undoubtedly related to the way African-Americans play the game. “The basketball court reflected some of the major cultural shifts in America, such as from segregation (种族隔离) to integration (融合),” the LIVESTRONG website noted.

　　From the 1950s onwards, segregation rules, which had prohibited African-Americans from playing in NBA games, were no longer used in the US. In 1950, when Earl Lloyd started to play for the Washington Capital team, things began to change. Since then, most of the greats of the game have been African-Americans, like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.

　　It’s not difficult to see that there’s a strong link between political liberation and basketball. Something of this is expressed in a quote from the US author John Edgar Wideman. He makes a connection between basketball and hope: “When it’s played the way it’s supposed to be played, basketball happens in the air; flying, floating, elevated (升起) above the floor, levitating (使飘浮) the way oppressed (压制的) peoples of this earth imagine themselves in their dreams.”

　　28. What advantage does basketball have over golf or tennis, according to the author?

　　A. It can be played anywhere.

　　B. It doesn’t cost much to play.

　　C. It doesn’t require too much skill.

　　D. It interests almost everyone.

　　29. What can we learn about basketball from Paragraph 3?

　　A. The sport was created by a PE teacher.

　　B. The sport was not popular with people at first.

　　C. Its rules have changed a lot to suit new circumstances.

　　D. The NBA, with a history of 126 years, attracts people worldwide.

　　30. The main purpose of Paragraph 5 is to ________.

　　A. explain the origin and rules of NBA games in the 1950s

　　B. prove the popularity of basketball among African-Americans

　　C. stress the success of African-Americans in basketball

　　D. show how racial integration took place in basketball

　　31. What do John Edgar Wideman’s words mean?

　　A. Basketball is sometimes a useful tool for politicians.

　　B. American people usually have a basketball dream.

　　C. Basketball stands for the freedom and hopes of people.

　　D. Political oppression is a serious problem in the US.

　　D

　　Imagine you’re standing in line to buy an after-school snack at a store. You step up to the counter and the cashier scans your food. Next, you have to pay. But instead of scanning a QR code (二维码) with your smartphone, you just hold out your hand so the cashier can scan your fingerprint. Or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear.

　　Now, this type of technology might not be far away. As technology companies move away from the traditional password, biometric security (生物识别技术), which includes fingerprint, face and voice ID, is becoming increasingly popular.

　　In 2013, Apple introduced the iPhone 5s, one of the first smartphones with a fingerprint scanner. Since then, using one’s fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has become commonplace, bringing convenience to our lives. And since last year, Samsung has featured eye-scanning technology in its top smartphones, while Apple’s new iPhone X can even scan a user’s face.

　　But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics might not be as secure as we’d imagined.

　　“Biometrics, ideally, are good,” John Michener, a biometrics expert, told tech website Inverse. “In practice, not so much.”

　　When introducing the new iPhone’s Face ID feature at Apple’s Keynote Event in September, Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president, said, “The chance that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone X and unlock it with their face is about one in a million.”

　　But it’s already been done. In a video posted on community website Reddit on Nov 3, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face, Quartz reported. And they aren’t even twins.

　　“We may expect too much from biometrics,” Anil Jain, a computer science professor at Michigan State University, told CBS News. “No security systems are perfect.”

　　Earlier this year, Jain found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she was able to unlock a dead person’s smartphone for police, according to tech website Splinter.

　　“It’s good to see biometrics being used more,” Jain told CBS News, “because it adds another factor for security. But using multiple security measures is the best defense.”

　　32. What is the latest technology to unlock a smartphone according to the article?

　　A. QR code scanning. B. Eye scanning.

　　C. Fingerprint scanning. D. Face scanning.

　　33. What’s a major problem of the iPhone X’s Face ID system?

　　A. It often fails to recognize its owner’s face.

　　B. Different faces could be used to unlock the same phone.

　　C. Face data could be used for other purposes.

　　D. It takes too long to unlock the phone.

　　34. What does Anil Jain think of biometric security?

　　A. It still needs much improvement.

　　B. It has caused much trouble for police.

　　C. It’s more secure than traditional measures.

　　D. It should be used with other security measures.

　　35. The author wrote this article mainly to ______.

　　A. describe the popularity of biometrics

　　B. show how biometrics has changed our lives

　　C. discuss the security problems of biometrics

　　D. point out various problems with biometrics

　　36 , and it was sometimes hard to find nice yarn (纱线) in the US. Not anymore.

　　Anel Aguayo is known as “the yarn lady” at Beverly Fabrics in San Jose, California. She says that “yarn sells faster than I can put it out”. 37 . Even kids as young as 11 shop there.
