21、ert, known as “Sully” flew his disabled plane onto the cold waters of the Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 aboard. However, even as Sully was being cheered by the public and the media for his unique achievement of flying skill, an investigation was unfolding that threatened to destroy his r

22、eputation and his career. Tom Hanks acting the part of Sully is the heart and soul of this film.Out of all the highly emotional films released this year so far, Sully is the best one, hands down. Out of all the nonfiction films released this year, Sully is the greatest. From extraordinary directing

23、to emotional acting, Sully is easily one of the best films of this year.Interestingly enough, although this film may have a few action scenes, it shouldnt be branded as an action movie. It is full-on intense drama, with two or three jokes that are original and funny, but dont turn the film into a co

24、medy. The story itself can also be considered an emotional and physical dramatic adventure that changes the lives of the characters forever.Sully begins when US Airways Flight 1549 lands in the water in the Hudson River after both engines are destroyed by birds. Luckily, not one passenger is injured

25、 and this is due to the skill of both rescue teams and pilot Sully Sullenbrger (Tom Hanks) and First Officer Jeffrey Skiles (Aaron Eckhart). Unfortunately, the nightmare(噩夢) is not over. Even though all passengers are in safety, it is still a major question if Sully should have landed the plane in t

26、he water and if he might have had enough speed and altitude to reach the runway at an actual airport.This is a very famous story that happened in 2009, but many people do not know what happened after the plane water landed. Sully truly shows all the events of this flight. Another amazing aspect of t

27、he film is the acting. Both Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart play the pilots wonderfully. Not only do the two look so much like the actual people, they also got their personalities right too. The two actors do well in the scenes where they keep imagining the crash, and it clearly affects them day after d

28、ay, Clint Eastwood has directed many films, but Sully is certainly one of his best. The story does not feel like it lasts 96 minutes and I was surprised when it ended. Sully really does keep you on the edge of your seat using cinematographythe art of making films that makes you feel like you are a p

29、art of the movie, acting that is emotional and dramatic and even special effects that make it look very real. Something to note, the film was shot with IMAX cameras so seeing it in IMAX theatres gives you the best possible experience.My favourite scene is the actual plane crash. From taking off, to

30、the passengers getting into rescue boats, this scene keeps your heart beating very fast. I personally suffer from a fear of flying and it pumped me full of adrenaline (腎上腺素). I could not blink (眨眼) until I found out what happened next. The special effects of the plane going down in the middle of New

31、 York looks very realistic and intense. On top of that, the emotional acting of not only the pilots, but the passengers and the flight attendants brings even more drama to the scene. It is easily the most intense scene in the whole film and, because of cinematography, it makes you feel like you are

32、a part of it, is borderline scary. Sully is a very mature story. And though it lacks adult content, language or blood, it is prepared for a mature audience because of its intense and dramatic scenes. I definitely give Sully 5 out of 5 stars for its extraordinary directing, wonderful cinematography,

33、emotional acting and realistic special effects.1、645According to the passage, Sully, with his heroic deeds _.Aeventually achieved his life goalBjust displayed his creative talentCaccidentally became well knownDstill faced a challenge to his action2、647The underlined phrase “hands down” in Paragraph

It turns out that following them isnt just good for your health. Its good for the planet, too.“What we found is that impacts vary

38、across nations, but in the highimpact nations, in general, you can see that, if you follow a nationally recommended diet, despite the fact that these diets dont mention explicitlyor most of them dont explicitly mentionenvironmental impacts, that you are going to have lower environmental impacts due

39、to that. So thats sort of fairly clear across all the highincome nations.” said Paul Behrens, an environmental scientist at Leiden University in the Netherlands.The food we eat takes a big toll on the environment. A third of the icefree land on Earth is used for agriculture, and according to some es

40、timates, producing food accounts for roughly a fifth of all humancaused greenhouse gas emissions. Fertilizer runoff also leads to other problems, like the algae blooms in Lake Eerie and the Dead Zone in the Gulf of Mexico.However, following dietary guidelines would reduce those impacts, especially i

41、n wealthy countries like the US. “Most of the reductions come from meat and dairy，” which have an outsized impact on land use and pollution, and are a major source of greenhouse gases.(Thats partly due to cow farts. Seriously.) Following the suggestions would also mean eating fewer calories, since m

42、any people here eat more than they need.Overall, in highincome countries, Behrens team estimates that following the rules could result in as much as a 17 percent reduction in land use, a 21 percent reduction in nutrient pollution, and a 25 percent drop in agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. Cutti

43、ng down on how much food we wastewhich is roughly a third in the UScould help even more. The results are in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Of course, people are notoriously bad at following diets. But: “These nationally recommended guidelines do actually have a knockon effect on

44、 other areas of policy making. So if Im developing a new healthyeatingforschools program then thats going to be based off a lot of detail that I get from the nationally recommended guidelines. So while it might not necessarily be the case that people follow directly they actually are quite influenti

45、al on the preparation of other advice.”It seems that a smaller environmental footprint and a healthier lifestyle could go hand in hand.1、Which of the following statement will Paul Behrens approve of?AFollowing a nationally recommended diet can have similar impacts in different countries.BFollowing a

46、 nationally recommended diet can do good to our health.CNot all the countries have recommended diets in an explicit manner.DSome highincome nations dont mention the diet explicitly for its impacts can be ignored.2、What do the underlined words “takes a big toll on” in paragraph 3 probably mean?Ashows

47、 signs ofBhas a bad effect onCtakes full advantage ofDmakes up for3、Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AFood production can lead to about 20 percent of humancaused greenhouse gas with only a third of the icefree land used.BIt is estimated that following dietary guidelines can le

49、company in San Francisco, California, has found a way to turn used plastic bottles into womens shoes.Every day, millions of Americans drink water and other liquids from plastic bottles. More than 60 million of them are thrown away each day. Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burn

50、ed with other waste products.A San Francisco start-up company called Rothys, however, turns this plastic waste into environmentally friendly shoes. Roth Martin is the companys co-founder. He explains how ihey turn plastic into soft material for womens feet. They take the plastic, clean it, and break

51、 it down into small pieces. Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers. Those fibers arc then combined together. This is done by a 3D machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes. The knitted stuff and the inner part of the shoe arc then attached to the shoes oute

52、r part, called the sole (鞋底).This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly material: responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber.Rolhys shoes are sold online. They are flat shoes, with either a rounded or pointed toe. They come in different colors and designs. They cost either $ 125 or $ 145 p

53、er pair, depending on the design. After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew. Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand. “Were not going to run out of water bottles any time soon. So we have a limitless supply of material, a

54、nd I think that is a good sign for our future. When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out, customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled material to make other products.For now, the shoes are only available to be shipped in the United States. However, the company say

55、s it will add international shipping in the near future.1、How are used plastic bottles usually dealt with?AThey are used to make shoes.BThey are buried or burned.CThey are changed into soft materials.DThey are returned to factories for reuse.2、What does the underlined word “knitted” in the third par

56、agraph mean?ACombined.BFixed.CSpotted.DRepaired.3、Which of the following directly helped to increase the sales of Rothys shoes?AThe design and color.BThe reasonable price.CThe star power of Gwyneth Paltrow.DThe companys advertisement.4、What is the purpose of the text?ATo advertise a new kind of shoe

57、s.BTo describe the process of making shoes.CTo introduce a new way of recycling plastic waste.DTo stress the importance of environmental protection.25（10分）A little girl who battled against cancer received a special gift on her third birthday, thanks to a creative stranger from Idaho.
