In 2019 there will be returns to classic movie characters and stories. Here are movies not to miss. Spider-Man-.Far H0- July 5, US Tom Holland, the actor of 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming, returns to play Peter Parker, a high school student who gains superpowers after being bitten by a spider( 蜘蛛 ).

According to Marved Studios President Kevin Feige, Spider - Man will try a return to his “ normal" self; he will try to find his old powers on his new journey.

The last two sacrifice all they have to help Simba to become the king. How will the new movie re-imagine their famous relationship? 1. Which movie will probably be most popular among children? A. Spider - Man: Far From Home. B. Hobbs and Shaw. C. Fast and Furious 8. D. The Lion King. 2. What do the three movies have in common? A. The heroes have appeared in previous movies. B.

B A simple project to help a family in need stopped Luke Mickelson in his tracks. In 2012, he and his family were inspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed on top of the other, after learning there were local children who slept on the floor. Shocked to discover how widespread this need was in his community, Mickelson founded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need. Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson, now 41, had a thriving career. He coached his kids ’ sports teams and fished in the nearby river. But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful life changed course. Using safety guidelines and his daughter ’ s bunk bed as a model, Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money. He recruited friends and family members to help around the holiday. As word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded —along with Mickelson ’ s bunk bed output. “ That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage, ” he said. “ The next year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds. ” - 3 - With the motto “ No kid sleeps on the floor in our town ” , the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1,500 free beds to children across America. But along with the rapid growth, Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit. He chose the latter and went from making “ great money to zero money ” . He ’ s never looked back. “ I found that the need I have isn ’ t financial, ” he said. “ The need I have is seeing the joy on kids ’ faces, knowing that I can make a difference. ” 4. Why did Mickelson set up Sleep in Heavenly Peace? A. To help the poor children. B. To make a big fortune. C. To inspire his community. D. To get more donations. 5. What do we know about Luke Mickelson? A. He had his own fish farm. B. He changed his career from time to time. C. He used to sleep on the floor when he was a kid. D. He originally had a relaxing and pleasant life. 6. How did other people react to Mickelson ’ s project? A. They showed little interest in it. B. They were supportive and involved in it. C. They were doubtful about the safety of the bunk bed. D. They volunteered to buy beds with their own money. 7. What is Mickelson ’ s attitude to the nonprofit? A. Ambiguous B. Defensive. C. Cautious. D. Positive. C Learning how to face silence in conversation is an important skill especially when working across cultures. In international negotiations, experienced negotiator ( 谈判者 ) stay silent and impassive on purpose because that will make others feel uncomfortable and possibly make compromises without having to do anything. Americans especially can ’ t stand silence, so they often are the first to break the silence and sometimes might be at a disadvantage in negotiations. So what ’ s the best response? Set your jaw and wait it out. Don ’ t offer a compromise just because they - 4 - are not speaking. If you have to say something, ask a direct question, such as “ What’ s your initial reaction to that offer? ” Once a silence is getting into 45 seconds you could say, “ Let ’ s come back to that in a minute and go on with the next part of our negotiation. ” In presentations, silence can be far more effective than dramatic passion ( 热情 ). Before starting, look at the audience and be silent for a moment because that says, “ I ’ m in control. I know what I ’ m doing. I ’ m confident. ” A classic example was when Apple co-founder Steve Jobs launched the first iPhone. He introduced with many pauses so that you didn ’ t miss his key points. Because silence makes us nervous, our natural reaction is that we ’ d better pay attention, there ’ s something going on here. Equally, when giving a speech to staff or trainees, pauses count-especially if there are negatives. If you keep talking you ’ re spoon feeding. Give people a moment of silence to get beyond the emotional response and to start thinking consciously and processing. Silence can be an inward-focused thoughtful activity or an outward stillness where you give yourself the time to watch and think and listen to the world around you. Having observed the use of silence in Finland and also among the Blackfeet Nation, a North American Indian tribe in northern Montana in the US, we can see benefits far beyond wheeling and dealing. Silence can be a very powerful point for understanding ourselves, understanding others, for developing better common understanding and more productive outcomes and that applies to business, politics, education, law, medicine, every area of human life. 8. What is most likely to be Americans idea? A. Speaking less gives the upper hand B. The shorter talking gaps are, the better. C. A silent man is the best one to listen to D. Speak out what you have in your mind. 9. What is the purpose of the example of Steve Jobs? A. To show the wisdom of Steve Jobs. B. To explain silence can be more effective. C. To introduce how to make a presentation. D. To prove silence can ease one ’ s nervousness. 10. What is the meaning of the underlined words “ spoon feeding ” in Paragraph 6? A. Supporting some person with any selfless help. B. Feeding somebody patiently with a small spoon. - 5 - C. Giving others some new ideas to think over carefully. D. Using a way that discourages independent thought. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Silence is the best defense. B. Silence in negotiations is of great help. C. Learning the skills about silence is important. D. Silence has different meanings in difficult culture. D British people work some of the longest hours in Europe, but are among the least productive. Now some companies are shortening the working week to increase efficiency, health and happiness. Rich Leigh has introduced a four-day week at his PR company. In fact, his entire company has Friday off, because his firm has adopted a four-day week. It is one of a handful of UK businesses that now operate like this: staff still get paid their previous five-day salary, but they work a day less. The company found that they achieved just as much— and there were even sighs of growth. “ The key to the scheme ’ s success, ” Leigh says, “ is how happy our employees now are. ” The average British worker takes only a 34 minute lunch break and works 10 hours overtime each week (more often than not this is unpaid). Yet UK productivity falls seriously behind their European neighbors, who tend to work fewer hours. British working practices have caused loss and damage to the nation ’ s health and happiness. More than half a million workers in the UK were signed off with work-related stress or anxiety last year. Moreover, the work landscape itself is changing. Automation and AI will have a significant impact on the labor market, where unsteady work becomes more common. Britain is the only EU member that allows workers to ignore the EU working time limit and work longer hours. For campaigners, now is the time for a change. O ’ Grady, an advocate, argues that where businesses have increased their profits as a result of automation, success should be shared with workers in the form of reduced hours. “ It ’ s time to share the benefits from new technology, not allowing those at the top to grab them for themselves. ” she says. 12. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. British people are the least productive in the world B. Most companies in Britain have conducted a four-day week - 6 - C. PR company has witnessed a rise in employees ’ happiness D. British people work longer and get more payment than other countries 13. Which is the proper description of British working practices? A. The working time of British workers is within the EU limit. B. In terms of productivity, Britain is beaten by the United States. C. Profits gained from new technology are on the decrease. D. Automation and AI are likely to cause an instable work market. 14. Which can be inferred from O ’ Grady ’ s words in the last paragraph? A. It ’ s time for employers to share the increased profits created by automation. B. Workers should benefit from automation in the form of less working hours. C. New technology should belong to both businesses and workers. D. Businesses can ’ t make more profits without new technology. 15. What is the author ’ s purpose of writing the passage? A. To introduce some British firms ’ switch to a four-day working week. B. To explain the reasons why British workers suffer stress and anxiety. C. To appeal for more reasonable working conditions. D. To present the current productivity problem in Britain. 第二节 (共 5 小题 ;每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Some people put their bicycles away once they learn how to drive a car.
