Past(Batman movies) dealt with a straightforward search for justice. This time, Batmans reasoning is clouded by frustration, bitterness and anger.” Ben Affleck, who plays Batman, told French magazine Studio Cine Live.Warcraft: The Beginning, June 10Based on the World of Warcraft video game series, the film tells the story of the initial encounters between humans and ores in the world of Azeroth.Its not surprising that Hollywood wants to adapt this game into a movie franchise. According to the International Business Times, World of Warcraft, which was originally released in 2004, was the bestselling PC game in both 2005 and 2006 and has about 7.6 million subscribers now.But despite its builtin audience, Warcraft might not be a hit at the box office. People have “critical presumptions” that “any film based on a video game must by definition be dreadful.” according to Time magazine.Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Nov. 18JK. Rowling once said that she wouldnt consider “revisiting the wizarding world” after Harry Potter unless she had found something she was “really excited about”. This suggests that Fantastic Beasts and Where to find Them, a trilogy of films, is going to be great.Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was originally the name of a textbook used at the magical school Hogwarts. Rowling decided to develop this book, and its backstory, into a whole new series. The plot is set in New York 70 years before Harry Potters saga starts. It follows Newt Scamander, a socalled “magizoologist” on his journey to study magical creatures and write a book on them.()56. The Guardians attitude towards the plot of the first film can be that of _A. doubtB. supportC. unconcernD. reservation()57. What can we learn from the last two films?A. Warcraft: The Beginning has about 7.6 million fans now.B. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is adapted from a textbook.C. Warcraft: The Beginning probably wont see a good performance in boxing.D. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them isnt part of the film series.()58. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Big Films for Superhero Enthusiasts B. Big Releases for Fantasy FansC. Comparison of the Superhero Films D. Boom of the Film IndustryBMany of us remember being in awe(敬畏) when we saw cloned dinosaurs running wild in the film Jurassic Park. And the idea of using technology to revive(恢复) extinct species has long fascinated not only writers and directors, but scientists as well.According to The Telegraph, woolly mammoths(长毛猛犸象), which featured in the popular Ice Age animated movie series, “may walk the earth once more” now that scientists have taken another step toward realizing a longheld dreamrecreating their DNA.Mammoths became extinct around 10，000 years ago. However, since the discovery of nearperfect preserved remains in Arctic permafrost(北极冻土带) in May 2013, a variety of research studies have been carried out since.Geneticists from Harvard University analyzed DNA from the remains, looking for genes which separated mammoths from elephants, such as hairiness and ear size. They then used the results to reproduce exact copies of 14 mammoth genes. “It is the first time that mammoth genes have been alivealthough so far it has only been done in the lab，” George Church, lead researcher of the project, told The Sunday Times.Church then used a new technique which allows scientists to edit DNA carefully, replacing sections of elephant DNA with the mammoth genes. So “we now have functioning elephant cells with mammoth DNA in them，” he said.However, Church ruled out the possibility of bringing the mammoths back to life via cloning from frozen remains. He said he “preferred to focus on rebuilding the full mammoth genome(基因组) by analyzing DNA from preserved remains and putting it into the cells of its closest living relativethe Asian elephant，” reported The Telegraph.Church argued that the return of the woolly mammothor rather, the return of something very similarcould help bring back fragile(脆弱的) ecosystems. However, some scientists believe that bringing back the mammoth would be unethicalProfessor Alex Greenwood, an expert on ancient DNA, said: “We may face the extinction of African and Asian elephants. Why bring back another elephant from extinction when we cannot even keep the ones that are not extinct around？” he told The Sunday Times. “What is the message? We can be as irresponsible with the environment as we want. Then well just clone things back？”“Money would be better spent focusing on conserving what we do have than spending it on an animal that has been extinct for thousands of years，” he said.()59. We can learn from the article that _A. cloned mammoths followed cloned dinosaurs to get revivedB. the technology to revive mammoth genes is already matureC. George Church and his colleagues tried to reproduce mammoth DNAD. Church and his team managed to list all the genes that separate mammoths from elephants()60. According to Church, what is the significance of his study?A. It could help prevent the extinction of the Asian elephant.B. It could help people better tell elephant DNA from mammoth genes.C. It could help bring back some extinct species and save fragile ecosystems.D. It could help bring mammoths back to life via cloning from frozen remains.()61. The underlined word “unethical” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _A. unacceptable B. misled C. impractical D. illegal()62. According to the article, Professor Alex Greenwood believes that _A. there is no need to worry about the extinction of African and Asian elephants at presentB. its necessary to bring back species that are beneficial to human beings from extinctionC. the return of the woolly mammoth would help to balance ecosystemsD. its more important to protect present species than to bring back extinct onesCSome of the worlds most significant problems never hit headlines. One example comes from agriculture. Food unrest and hunger make news. But the trend lying behind these matters is rarely talked about. This is the decline in the growth in production of some of the worlds major crops. A new study by the University of Minnesota and McGill University in Montreal looks at where, and how far, this decline is occurring.The authors take a vast number of data points for the four most important crops: rice, wheat, corn and soybeans(大豆). They find that on between 24% and 39% of all harvested areas, the improvement in yields that took place before the 1980s slowed down in the 1990s and 2000s.There are two worrying features of the slowdown. One is that it has been particularly sharp in the worlds most populous(人口多的) countries, India and China. Their ability to feed themselves has been an important source of relative stability both within the countries and on world food markets. That selfsufficiency cannot be taken for granted if yields continue to slow down or reverse.Second, production growth has been lower in wheat and rice than in corn and soybeans. This is problematic because wheat and rice are more important as foods, accounting for around half of all calories consumed. Corn and soybeans are more important as feed grains. The authors note that “we have preferentially focused our crop improvement efforts on feeding animals and cars rather than on crops that feed people and are the basis of food security in much of the world.”The report qualifies the more optimistic findings of another new paper which suggests that the world will not have to dig up a lot more land for farming in order to feed 9 billion people in 2050, as the Food and Agriculture Organisation has argued.Instead, it says, thanks to slowing population growth, land currently ploughe
