20、arious programming coursesC. free accommodations D. a 12-day learning experienceBEven though its the 18th movie from the Marvel Universe, Black Panther is the first one to feature a black superhero with a primarily black cast(演员阵容).The film tells the story of the Black Panther, a superhero who takes
21、 his fathers place as king of the fictional African country Wakanda. The film came out in Chinese mainland cinemas on March 9, passing the $1 billion (about 6 billion yuan) mark at the global box office and becoming the No. 2 superhero release of all time on March 10.However, Black Panther means mor
22、e than just the money its making. As the Guardian noted, the film is already being regarded as “a positive force for social change”.The wild success of Black Panther lies in the fact that it gives voices to minorities who are rarely given room in popular culture. “It carries a weight that neither Th
23、or nor Captain America could lift: serving a black audience that has long gone under-represented,” Time noted.“It makes me feel proud and confident that we made it on screen in that way,” Rasheed Butler, 14, from a black community in California, US, told the Marin Independent Journal.The superhero B
24、lack Panther is inspiring, but the movie also highlights brilliant black women. For example, Black Panthers teenage sister is a tech genius. She designs gadgets for her brother and develops resources that make the isolated Wakanda wealthy scientifically and technologically advanced.“What I love abou
25、t the way this film represents women is that each and every one of us is an individual, unique,” Kenyan-Mexican actress Lupita Nyongo, who plays a spy in the movie, told the Los Angeles Times. “I think thats a very powerful message to send to children both male and female.”Powerful characters aside,
26、 the movie has social meanings. While the Black - 6 -Panther tries to keep his country and people away from the outside world, others want to make use of Wakandas advanced technology to fight injustice . “But neither option is truly tenable,” The Verge noted. “It suggests that these destructive cycl
27、es may only be broken through guidance, education, and global leadership.”Instead of hiding away from current issues of race and economic differences, the movie explores what it means to be black in the US, in Africa and in the world. It deals “head-on with the issues affecting modern-day black life
28、”, Time concluded.24. What is the article mainly about?A. The success and main plot of Black Panther.B. The charm of the main characters in Black Panther.C. The main characters and social impact of Black Panther.D. How black women are represented in Black Panther.25. According to the article, the mo
29、vie Black Panther is successful mainly because _.A. it reflects social changes in African countriesB. it makes the voices of black people heardC. it is the first movie to feature black womenD. it explores the issues of race and economic differences26. According to Lupita Nyongo, women in the movie a
30、re shown as _.A. isolated and uneducated B. brave and powerfulC. having a gift for film D. having a unique personality27. The underlined word “tenable” in the second-to-last paragraph probably means _.A. wrong B. easy C. reasonable D. interestingCResearchers from France and Italy discovered that Can
31、adian parents are less strict with their children than mothers and fathers in France and Italy.“Our most important finding was the difference between Canadians and the - 7 -others,” said Professor Michel Claes, the lead author of the study. “Canadians focus on independence and negotiation. On the ot
32、her hand, Italians, for example, exercise more control. We found Canadians seem to focus on negotiation in case of a conflict.”Claes said Canada, France and Italy were selected for the study because they share important cultural and social factors. “We chose French Canadians because they share the s
33、ame language as French, and originally came from France and share certain values. Italy was included because it was considered to have similar, strong and important family values.” he explained.The researchers examined the emotional ties between parents and their children by questioning 1,256 studen
34、ts aged 11 to 19 years old.Canadian students reported less control and more free actions, according to the study. Italian parents were stricter and French parents were somewhere in the middle.Claes explains that the differences lie in education in Canada, France and Italy.“North America has its own
35、educational values, which promote individualization. Tolerance and comprehension are encouraged. Italy, on the other hand, promotes respect of authority, control, and the need for permission,” he said.Children from all three countries described their mothers as warm and communicativee. Italian and C
36、anadian children had similar feelings about their fathers, and reported high levels of emotional ties. But French fathers were generally thought by their children to be more distant and cold.“We were surprised by this,” Claes admitted. “It seems as though the relationships between French mothers and
37、 their children were becoming closer over time, while fathers maintain a form of distance and coldness, which is more of a source of conflict in France than in the other countries.” 28. Professor Michel Claes believes that Canada, France and Italy _. A. have some similar cultural traditions- 8 -B. h
38、ave the same family problemsC. have experienced some different social changesD. have experienced similar economic developments29. How did the researchers carry out the study ? A. By collecting answers of children from Canada, France and Italy.B. By collecting answers of parents from Canada, France a
39、nd Italy.C. By questioning parents and their children from Italian Canadian families.D. By questioning children from French Canadian families.30. According to Michel Claes, what mainly leads to the differences in parent- children relationships among Canada, France and Italy? A. Cultural backgrounds.
40、 B. Traditional ideas.C. Educational values. D. Historical events.31. Which of the following is NOT a finding of the study? A. French children have troubled relationships with their fathers.B. Canadian children have close relationships with their parents.C. Italian children have better relationships
41、 with their parents.D. Kids from France have closer ties with their moms.DWhen a laptop or smartphone battery starts losing its power，the only options are to buy an expensive replacement，or just keep it plugged in all the timeBut a woman Mya Le Thai may have found the answer to this problemThai was
42、frustrated that the batteries for her wireless devices degraded(降级)over time，until they failed to charge fully She did not like having to keep her laptop connected to an electrical outlet to keep it powered onSo，she decided to do something about that problemAt first，she and her team at UC Irvine tho
43、ught about inventing a new batteryBut as they experimented，Thai discovered something that might permit lithiumion(锂离子)batteries to last foreverLithium-ion batteries power most wireless devicesOver time，the batteries lose the ability to hold a chargeMost of these batteries have a life span of - 9 -ab
44、out 7,000 charging cycles before they dieOne of the reasons lithiumion batteries degrade is their use of nanowires to carry electricityNanowires are extremely thinA human hair is thousands of times thicker，for exampleNanowires are extremely efficient carriers of electricity，which makes them useful i
45、n batteriesBut，Thai had a theorythe nanowires might last longer if covered with a gel(凝胶)She and her team tested this theory “It was a long process and a lot of work,” Thai saidThe team tried many coverings for the wiresPMMA，a type of plastic，was one of themThe nanowires were coated with PMMA and cy
46、cled through charges 200，000 timesThe PMMA-coated nanowires showed no evidence of damageThe results suggest that batteries could last forever，without losing charging abilityThai hopes to continue her research to understand why this gel works so well and to see if any other gel could create better re
47、sults and she is enjoying the publicity about her discoveryShe said she never expected her research to get media coverage “Its kind of cool,”she said “Im really glad people are showing interest in my work and not just in the work itself，but also in technology and energy ”32Why did Mya Le Thai work o
48、n lithium-ion batteries?AShe disliked the batteries for her laptopBHer team were assigned to invent a new batteryCMany people thought batteries were too expensiveDThe batteries would soon lose the function to charge fully33What can we infer about nanowires?AThey last only 7,000 charging cyclesBThey
49、are too weak to carry electricityCThey are not suitable to be used in batteriesDTheir thinness is a cause of batteries degrade34What might be Thai and her teams breakthrough?ACoating nanowires in gel BA new kind of battery- 10 -CNew materials for batteries DA new way of charging batteries35What may be the best title for the passage?AThe options of batteries for wireless devices BA woman invents a life
