18、nual ceremony also put Chinese filmmakers in an awkward position, as no Chinese films have ever 32 a goldentrophy. The hard truth leaves people wondering when the nation, which is already the world second largest film market, will earn a place in the renowned award ceremony s spotlight.The circumsta

19、nce for domestic artists is similar to that of Chinese writers and scientists before Mo Yan and Tu Youyou won a Nobel Prize in 2012 and 2015 _33_.Just as Chinese people become accustomed to seeing their fellow citizens taking home Nobel Prizes, it is time for them to see that winning an Oscar is als

It is commonly believed that China doesn lat ck sources of inspiration. As long as Chinese filmmakers, armed with latest

23、filmmaking technologies, improve their storytelling skill, they could see their _38_ released.Also worth nothing is that China now has a _39_ younger generation of filmmakers. With more professional and international training compared with their predecessors, they are better equipped to make breakth

24、roughs.No one can predict when _40_ a homegrown film may stun the world, but there is good reason to be optimistic. Patience is goldfor domestic filmmakers.III.

34、ceSection B(A)Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own. We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives.This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life o

35、f some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings . This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe. But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of

36、 other worlds that already exist all around us?Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms. However, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated lives. In a study of British school children, it was found that c

37、hildren by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife. Without modern technology, a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants, insects, birds, and animals. When we lack meaningful interaction w

38、ith the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen.The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad. But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet（出路）for our

39、sense of wonder, then we are really missing something. We are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own.56. The popula

40、rity of The Lord of the Ringsproves.A. the close connection between man and thefantasy worldB. the wonderful achievements of fantasy literatureC.the general existence of the sense of curiosity D. the fine taste of moviegoers around the world 57.

M odern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder.58. If our sense of wonder relies totally

42、on the world of make-believe, we will .A. fail to appreciate the joy in our livesB. be confused by the world of make-believeC. miss the chance to recognize the fantasy worldD. be trapped by other worlds existing all around us59. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show us the hidden beauty

43、 in our world.B. To warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world.C.To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder.D.To discuss the influence of the world ofmake-believe（B）Cagan Sekercioglu is an ornithologist（ 鸟类学 家 ） who works to document and prevent bird extinction.

44、e U.S. who runs an award-winning conservation（ 保 护 ） group in his native Turkey. All those pursuits require flexibility - and each involves big risks.Why do you do what you do? Who inspired you?vealways been drawn to nature. Whenother kids were playing soccer, I was bringing home insects and other a

45、nimals. My mom took me to a child psychologist! But my beloved dad is my biggest inspiration. During tougheconomic times he left a safe accounting job to start Turkey fsirst model-airplane company. It lasted 30 years.What are the physical dangers of your work?A whole range of dangers.

46、g birds I vebeen attacked by a brown bear in Alaska and an elephant in Tanzania. I vbeeen faced with a poisonous snake in Uganda. I ve been caught between the military and terrorists, mistaken for a spy, held at gunpoint, kidnapped in Ethiopia, and attacked by a masked man in Costa Rica. Honestly, I

47、 moften more afraid of people and traffic than I am of wildlife.Is it politically difficult to be an environmentalist in Turkey?It is when I criticize the institutions that grant my research permits. But it msy duty as a scientist to tell the truth. The government talks about conservation, but its p

48、riority is to turn nature into cash. So it uses double standards. They are reforesting while cutting down old-growth forests. Actually every river is 19dammed, and the organization building those dams is responsible for regulating th em. I m trying to stop one that will destroy the Aras River wetlan

49、ds, where half of Turkey sbird species live. Yet if I speak out too much, I punished for a seemingly official, legal reason. Revenge in Turkey is usually indirect.You spend many hours on advocating conservation. Does that hurt your academic career?Some academics see it as a distraction. So far my sc

50、hool, the University of Utah, has been very understanding and appreciative. But I have to walk a fine line.Do you ever feel scared by all the risks you face?Well, I don tactively seek risk. But I don t avoid it either. Taking a risk means you can fail. But if you fail, at least you tried. And that c

53、on advocacy.C. he should cope with the difficult situation with care.D. he should not do anything against the law.（C）The definition of the standard kilogram is fundamentally imperfect. Getting the definition right is a challenge that has tried the patience and intelligence of scientists for decades.

54、Scientists use just seven basic units to define all the other quantities we use - quantities such as speed, density, or electric power. All of those basic units except the kilogram are themselves defined in terms of natural properties that are beyond human control.For example, the standard second （t

55、ime） is defined as a specific number of vibration（ 震动 ） of a type of radiation released by atoms of a special metal. The standard meter （length）, in turn, is defined as the length of the path light travels in a vacuum（ 真空 ） during a specific fraction of a second（ 瞬间 ）.Not so the kilogram. This orpha

56、n of the basic unit family is simply the mass of a small platinum-iridium alloy cylinder （铂 -铱合金筒）locked away by the international Bureau ofWeighs & Measures in France.Embarrassingly, the last time the copies were brought for a checkup in the 1980s, officials found that some copies had gained ab

57、out 20 parts per billion in weight compared to the master cylinder since the previous checkup in the 1940s. This implies that the master cylinder itself may be an inconstant standard.No one knows what causes the weight changes. But the uncertainty can tbe tolerated when precision（ 精 密 度 ） in research and some manufacturing now demands accuracy to a few parts per billion.Several efforts in several different countries are under way to redefine the kilogram in terms of basic physical quantities such as counting the actual number of atoms of a specific substance in a kilogram or the e
