1 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

This “dazzling” animation, Suzume (铃芽之旅), from Japanese director Makoto Shinkai has already become     1     box-office hit around the world, and deservedly so. An unconventional “teen romance”, it follows Suzume, a 16-year-old     2     mother was killed in an earthquake some years ago. One day when she     3    (cycle) to school, she bumps into a handsome student named Souta, who turns out to be a “Closer” — a person     4     (charge) with “closing doors to another world”. When “a ginormous, city-destroying worm” escapes from that other world. Souta and Suzume must join forces to stop it. “There is a touch of Stranger Things” to this “rich” tale, which mines the “trauma felt by the young     5     (follow) Japan’s 2011 earthquake and tsunami”; and the result is “extraordinary enough to appeal     6    even non-anime fans”. The film has rather a lot of chase sequences which become “repetitive”; but it has real merit. With its “stark warnings about the real risk of ecological disaster”, Suzume is a “powerful coming-of-age tale     7     plucks at the heartstrings” while delivering some real laughs along the way. It is beautiful to look at too. An “epic adventure about hormone-fuelled teenagers facing up to     8    (environment) destruction”, the film is sometimes a “little too worthy for its own good”. Still, it has “boundless ambition, and the courage     9    (place) weighty issues     10     the heart of a kids’ film”.

2 . Reasonable people should not have blind faith in the medical profession.     1     We have to check out the medicine we take. We have to ask for second and even third opinions. We must do some research. We have to use our common sense and be informed about our health care.

While it is true that modern Western medicine has risks, we shouldn’t reject it totally.     2     Most people who get good medical care are healthier and live longer.

If this is the case why has “alternative” health care become so popular in North America and Europe? Often the fear of surgery motivates people to look for these alternatives. Many people think that these treatments will help even when the situation seems hopeless to Western doctors.     3     Surgeons perform dangerous surgery, but natural healers (治疗师) do not seem to give dangerous treatments. People don’t think alternative care would kill anyone by mistake.     4     No one wants to go to a doctor in a cold hospital clinic. Since some doctors don’t have a nice “bedside manner”, people like the attention they get from alternative healers.

    5     All doctors and healers are human beings who can make mistakes. They can miss things and waste valuable time. No matter what happens, we have to think about all of the different options. Remember, there are millions of patients who are alive and well today because of “conventional” Western medicine.

A．Some alternative treatments are ineffective.

B．In addition everyone wants to be treated warmly.

C．We have to realize that there will be risks in almost any treatment.

D．Alternative treatments are attractive because they seem less harmful.

E．Patients who trust their doctors are more likely to follow treatment plans.

F．We all have to get more information about the treatments that we are given.

G．The harm to the patients usually comes from not getting medical treatment immediately.

3 . Women are equally responsible for the growth of a free, modern society. Here’s a look at some outstanding women who made great contributions to world history.

Maria Sibylla Merian

Today, children can explain how a caterpillar (毛毛虫) turns into a butterfly (蝴蝶). But there was a time when no one knew this --not even scientists. Thanks to Maria Sibylla Merian, we know the truth about these beautiful winged insects. Merian was fascinated by insects, and she began collecting, studying, and drawing them when she was as young as 13. It was through her study of caterpillars that she discovered the truth about their life cycles.

Beryl Markham

Beryl Markham was quite incredible in not just aviation (航空) but several other industries, including horse racing. In 1936, at age 33, Markham became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic alone from the east to the west, nonstop. The pilot played a role in the classic best-selling novel and film, Out of Africa, and had many biographies penned about her talents and life.
