What are you waiting for? A new series of movies shown this year can’t be missed. Have you enjoyed them already?
Frozen II
Frozen was the highest grossing (票房) animated film ever. In Frozen II Elsa, Anna, Olaf and Krist left off Arendelle to seek thesource of Elsa’s icy magic. Although the millions of children who loved the first film are older now, they might give it a reception.

A reboot (翻拍) of the 1970s TV series, not to mention the two films from 2000 and 2003, the new version is directed by Elizabeth Banks. She also plays Bosley, one of the female detectives who are employed by Charles Townsend to go on global adventures. 1. Which moviebecame the most popular cartoon film this year? A. Frozen II. B.

In the old days, when you had to drive to a movie theater to get some entertainment, it was easy to see how your actions could have an impact(影响)on the environment. After all, you were jumping into your car, driving across town, coughing out emissions(产生排放)and using gas all the way. But now that we're used to staying at home and streaming movies, we might get a littleproud. After all, we're just picking up our phones and maybe turning on the TV. You're welcome. Mother Nature.
Not so fast, says a recent report from the French-based Shift Project. According to \"Climate Crisis: The Unsustainable Use of Online Videohat energy use is increasing by 9% a year. Watching a half-hour show would cause 1. 6 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions. That's like driving 6. 28 kilometers. And in the European Union, the Eureca project found that data centers(where videos are stored)there used 25% more energy in 2017 compared to just three years earlier, reports the BBC.
Streaming is only expected to increase as webecome more enamored ofour digital devices(设备)and the possibility of enjoying entertainment where and when we want it increases. Online video use is expected to increase by four times from 2017 to 2022 and account for 80% of all Internet traffic by 2022. By then, about 60% of the world's population will be online.
You're probably not going to give up your streaming services, but there're things you can do to help lessen the impact of your online use, experts say. For example, according to Lutz Stobbe, a researcher from the Fraunhofer Institute in Berlin, we have no need to upload 25 pictures of the same thing to the cloud because it consumes energy every time. If instead you delete a few things here and there, you can save energy. Moreover, it's also a good idea to stream over Wi-Fi, watch on the smallest screen you can, and turn off your Wi-Fi in your home if you're not using your devices.
4. What topic is the first paragraph intended to lead in? A. The environmental effects of driving private cars. B. The improvements on environmental awareness. C. The change in the way people seek entertainment. D The environmental impacts of screaming services.
5. What does the underlined phrase become more enamored of\" in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Get more skeptical of. B. Become more aware of. C. Feel much crazier about. D. Get more worried about. 6. What can we infer about the use of streaming services? A. It is being reduced to protect the planet. B. Its environmental effects are worsening. C. It is easily available to almost everyone. D. Its side effects have drawn global attention.
7. Which of the following is the most environmentally-friendly? A. Watching downloaded movies on a mobile phone. B. Downloading music on a personal computer. C. Uploading a lot of images of the same thing. D. Playing online games over mobile networks.
C
About a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler, a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you: What is your biggest problem, and how can I solve it?” My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”
Lori never dreamed she would work in recruiting, but she jumped in. She even agreed to trade earnings for acquiring new skills in a new field. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading People@Facebook.
The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010, the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor: “Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”
As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The
ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路), and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.
8. Why did Lori make the call?
A. She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem. B. She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook. C. She tried to ask for a pay rise in Facebook. D. She wanted to become an employee in Facebook. 9. What impressed “I” by Lori? A. Lori was good at running recruiting.
B. Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs. C. Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience. D. Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay. 10. What can we infer from the passage? A. Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder. B. None on the ladder can enjoy the great views. C. Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.
D. A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms. 11. What is the best title of the passage? A. It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder. B. Facebook’s Biggest Problem. C. Applying for a Job in Facebook. D. A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder.
D
American football was the fastest-growing sport for US young players last year, according to a survey sponsored by the sport's governing body.
But it was the game's no tackle variety that showed the biggest increase-a finding that may reflect concerns about injury. In American football, a tackle (抢断球) refers to an attempt to stop an opponent by forcing them to the ground.
The number of participants in football grew in 2015 while most other sport, except baseball, posted a decline,
USA Football said on Monday, citing(引用) the findings of a survey of 30,000 children and teenagers.
Participation in flag football (a no-tackle type of football) increased by 8.7 percent among children aged 6 to 14, while tackle football rose by 1.9 percent. For that age group, the only other sport that grew was baseball, with a 3. 3 percent increase.
In the 15-to-18 age group, flag football rose by 10. 5 percent, while tackle grew by 2.5 percent. Basketball was the third, with a 1. 1 percent increase. Participation in all other sports declined.
Tom Farrey, executive director of the Aspen Institute's Sports & Society Program, said he was surprised that flag football participation rose so much.
“The trend suggests that parents aremarching to the beat of a different drummer, in pursuing flagas an alternative for their kids,\" he said.
The findings come at a time of increasing concern about the risk associated with youth sports, particularly hockey (曲棍球) and football, where medical researchers have warned about the risk of concussions (damagesto the brain caused by violent blows to the head) and death linked to brain injury.
USA Football, anIndianapolis,Indianabased nonprofit funded in part by the National Football League, believed that the increases resulted from better safety and health education.
\"Football participation increases, even modest increases, may signal that programs such as our Heads Up Football program and practice guidelines are making a positive difference,\" said Scot Hallenbeck, USA Football chief executive, in a statement.
Robert Cantu, aBostonUniversityneurosurgery professor and investigator at the school's chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) Center said the increase in fag football participation signaled that more parents were directing children to a safe alternative
12. What can we learn about the two age groups? A. Flag football grew the fastest in the 6-to-18 group. B. Tackle football grew he fastest in the 6-to-14 group. C. Participation in baseball declined the most in both groups D. Participation in tackle football increased the most in both groups. 13. The underlined part probably means ________. A working at a different pace B. behaving in a different way C. ignoring the major differences
D. trying to accept different opinions
14. The popularity of flag football is inked with the fact that A. its rules have been adapted for young players B. it receives more funds than other varieties C. tackle football is an old-fashioned game D. experts worry about children's safety
15. What is the cause of football growth according to USA Football? A. Their safety programs are successful. B. More children show interest in the game. C. Football is less likely to cause concussions.
D. There are different types of football to choose from. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
