【题目】Gemini Man

Gemini Man is a big-budget Hollywood sci-fi-action movie based on an original concept, rather than on a superhero comic or an old TV series, even though this particular original concept is more 20 years old. 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 Rabbit

During 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.

As well as writing and directing Jojo Rabbit, Waititi co-stars as the boy’s imaginary friend,a nitwitted Adolf Hitler.

Maleficent: Mistress of Evil

Here’s another chance to see Angelina Jolie. In 2014 she starred in Maleficent, Disney's live-action remake of the Sleeping Beauty cartoon from 1959. The twist was that the eponymous wicked fairy wasn’t so wicked, after all, and that the real villain was the father of Princess Aurora (Elle Fanning).

【题目】 Jane Austen is loved mainly as a charming guide to fashionable life in the Regency period (英国摄政时期). She is admired for describing a world of elegant houses, dances, servants and fashionable young men driving barouches (四轮四座大马车). But her own vision of her task was completely different. She was an ambitious and strict moralist. She was highly conscious of human failings and she had a deep desire to make people nicer: less selfish, more reasonable and more sensitive to the needs of others.

In Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bonnet start off heartily disliking each other and then, gradually realize they are in love. They make one of the great romantic couples. He is handsome, rich and well connected; she is pretty, smart and lively. But why actually are they right for one another?

Jane Austen is very clear. It’s for a reason we tend not to think of very much today: It is because each can educate and improve the other. When Mr. Darcy arrives in the neighborhood, he feels “superior” to everyone else, because he has more money and higher status. At a key moment, Elizabeth condemns his arrogance (自大) and pride to his face. It sounds offensive in the extreme, but later he admits that this was just what he needed.

Mostly, we tend to think of love as liking someone for who they already are, and of total acceptance. But the person who is right for us, Austen is saying, is not simply someone who makes us feel relaxed or comfortable; they got to be able to help us overcome our failings and become more mature, more honest and kinder—and we need to do something similar for them.

【1】What do we know about Jane Austen from paragraph 1?

A.She lived a fashionable life.B.She wrote about the life of the rich.

C.She knew exactly human virtues.D.She was nicer to less selfish people.

【2】What can we learn about Mr. Darcy from the text?

A.He dislikes Elizabeth from the beginning to the end.

B.He is handsome, rich and rather modest.

C.He is kind to everyone in the neighborhood.

D.He needs Elizabeth to point out his shortcomings.

【3】Which person is right for you according to Jane Austen?

A.A person that you like for who he or she is.

B.A person with whom you feel really relaxed.

C.A person making you become a better man or woman.

D.A person who does something similar to you.

【4】What message does the book Pride and Prejudice convey?

A.Improve yourself with your lover’s help.

B.Accept the people you love totally.

C.Earn much money to make people love you.

D.Find your true love with pride and prejudice.
