21、Frozen 2 sees the return of Elsa and Anna.This time,the Queen of Arendelle and her sister are in-tended to save the kingdom.The film,adding different topics and making breakthroughs,has won greater popularity.
One big change since the first movie is what the leading women are wearing.Elsa and Anna branch out(出场)by wearing tights,not just skirts.It's rare to see Disney princesses in anything other than tradi-tionally woman style clothes.Director Jenifer Lee said the move represented contemporary attitudes.
“Everyone sort of represents when the film was made and what the film's trying to show,”she said,“And that's right for these two women,who are carrying the weight of the kingdom.I love you can wear any-thing.”
President of Walt Disney Animation Studios Clark Spencer thought it important to design what Elsa and Anna wear carefully.“This time,they don't have to flee their kingdom in the wrong dress,”said Spencer.“They're going on a big adventure.It's going to be very physical.It makes the audience aware there is more than one way to be a princess.”
Pants are just the beginning.Another noticeable topic is the role of the environment,which helps them on their adventure when it feels respected and hurts them when threatened.What the filmmakers re-ally talked about is that the ecosystem is a big serious issue,according to Lee.“Climate change and nature out of balance might give Elsa the real purpose.Could that be why she has this power?That's something most of us talk about.But a core(核心的)theme of the movie is the idea of not trying to force the envi-ronment into your world,"she said.Every character is connected to this idea of respecting the strength and changes of the environment and taking care of the world around you.
【1】Why does the director change Elsa's and Anna's wear?
A.To show the background of the movie.
B.To increase the film's popularity.
C.To express the idea of dressing freedom.
D.To reflect the trend of the times.
【2】What might Clark Spencer think of the wear's change?
A.It's a wrong choice.
B.It makes sense.
C.I's a risky decision.
D.It attracts the audience.
【3】What is the movie intended to do by using the role of the environment?
A.Shape a character who helps the leading roles.
B.Indicate potential dangers of climate change.
C.Explain the source of Elsa's magical strength.
D.Show the importance to respect nature's power.
【4】In which section of the website might the text appear?

D.Fashion&Clothing.
22、 It is the season for long lines and frayed nerves. Here’s how to deal.
Lighten up
Do yourself a favor and ship your presents. Nearly every U.S. airline charges a fee to check a bag, so shipping gifts is now cheaper and more convenient than carrying them in your luggage.
Weigh your options
Now knowing what you’re going to pay for your luggage is annoying. So calculate your overweight-luggage fees at home. You can find the fees out in advance by visiting new site Luggage Limits, which provides the latest information on more than 90 airlines.
Leave amateurs in the dust
Trust us and get to the airport an extra half-hour early. The check-in and security lines are filled with inexperienced fliers, and it’s a hard walking. Plus, if you decide to cut it close, you may not get onto the flight at all. To reduce costs, airlines have reduced on flights and routes. The remaining flights are more likely to be oversold, especially on busy travel days. Fliers who check in early are the least likely to get bumped from oversold flights.
Take it public
The rates for renting a car at the airport have more than doubled over the past year because rental lot inventories (财产) have increased dramatically. True, renting at the airport is convenient, but it’s just not worth it anymore. Unless you really need a car, take public transportation, hop a cab, or beg a friend to pick you up at the airport instead.
Say no to bumper cars
Tell the people picking you up to avoid parking their car. They can hang out in their car for free while waiting to get a call from you when you land. Many airports, including JFK and LAX, now feature this sensible choice.
【1】Airlines have reduced flights to .
A.lower the cost B.deal with crisis
C.reduce the time for leave D.provide more job chances
【2】We can learn from the passage that _____.
A.many airports like JFK provides free parking service
B.shipping presents is more expensive than carrying them in luggage
C.taking a cab at the airport is less expensive than renting a car
D.Luggage Limits can give a discount on overweight luggage fees
【3】What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Cars at the Airport B.Good Seasons for Flight
C.How to Board a Flight D.5 Ways to Survive a Holiday Flight.
23、 As the days get shorter and the chilly weather rolls in , we all want to curl up in a blanket and hibernate until spring rolls around. But making time to get outside in the sun, even when it’s cold out, could have bigger mood benefits than you might realize.
While the link between sunshine and mental health is nothing new, new research from Brigham Young University(BYU) has shown that the association may be even stronger than previously realized. It finds that sunlight exposure is by far the greatest weather-related factor determining mental health outcomes. In other words: more sunshine, more happiness.
For the study, a psychologist, a physicist and a statistician from BYU teamed up to compare daily environmental data from the university’s Physics and Astronomy Weather Station with emotional health data archived by day for 16,452 adult therapy patients who were being treated at the BYU Counseling and Psychological Services Center.
Exposure to sunlight is a significant factor in seasonal affective disorder. Research has shown that the brain produces more of the feel-good neurotransmitter serotonin on sunny days than it does on darker days. What’s more, lack of sunlight is linked with lower vitamin D levels, which in turn has been correlated with depression and low energy.
If you’re getting enough sun, your emotions should remain relatively stable, the researchers found. But as the amount of sunlight in the day is reduced, levels of emotional pain can soar. Other weather variables including temperature, pollution and rain were not found to have an impact on mental health.
“We were surprised that many of the weather and pollution variables we included in the study were not significantly correlated with clients’ scores on the distress measure once we had accounted for suntime,” Dr. Mark Beecher, a professor of psychology at the university and the study’s lead author, told The Huffington Post. “People tend to associate rainy days, pollution, and other meteorological phenomena with sadness or depression, but we did not find that.”
【1】What does the author suggest we do in Paragraph 1?
A. Realized the benefits of sunshine. B. Avoid hibernating in springtime.
C. Curl up in a blanket in cold weather. D. Enjoy sunshine even in cold weather.
【2】The underlined word “soar”in Paragraph 5 most probably means “ ”?
A. Rise sharply. B. Vary unstably.
C. Drop slightly. D. Change greatly.
【3】What does the passage say about the research done by BYU?
A. It is done on normal adults of various ages.
B. It is carried out by Dr Mark Beecher alone.
C. It concludes the sunshine means happiness.
D. It finds that temperature affects mental health.
【4】What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Lower vitamin D levels are helpful in keeping us energetic.
B. The research findings are inconsistent with the popular belief.
C. The more sunshine we get, the less excited we are likely to feel.
D. The link between sunshine and mental health was unknown before.
24、 A group of people introduced themselves to me and my German classmate Julia. They were from a production company, currently in the process of filming a movie based in Du’an, a rural area a few hours north of Nanning. They tried to explain the plot of the film, but neither mine nor Julia’s Chinese was good enough to fully understand what they were saying. They then asked if we would be interested in being part of the project.
I came to China to experience new things and new opportunities, and being in a movie sounded so exciting. So in less than a second, I jumped at the chance of being in the film. Julia on the other hand was not so enthusiastic. It took 30 minutes to convince her to be part of the film, and she eventually accepted the chance.
That afternoon we were taken to the production company’s office to meet the director and some of the cast. We all sat together, drinking tea, talking about why Julia and I were in China and about the film. It seemed a little bit like a dream.
Ever since I was a small child, I dreamed of becoming a movie star, but I would never have guessed that my dream would come true, especially now in China.
At the end of the talk, we were given scripts(剧本)and had a few photographs taken. We were given the production schedule and ensured that our scenes would only be shot at weekends so it wouldn’t interfere with our studies. We left the office and were excited about the film, unknowing what filming was actually like.
On our first day of filming, we were picked up in the early morning from the university and we drove deep into the countryside.
We arrived at the location and waited for our scene to be shot. We watched as the other actors and crew went about their work, busy shooting and reshooting the same scene from different angles and perspectives. I never knew how much effort and care went into filming even the shortest and simplest scene. It was then our turn to shoot, and I was very nervous and very excited.
