Rowling is the author of the most successful book series in history, but her attempt to take on a new career as a screenwriter hasnt been as smooth as she may have thought it would be. The sequel(续篇), “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelw
11、ald”, shows that even the most successful author in the world is in need of checks and balances when making the transition to cinema.Following the sale of half a billion copies of the Harry Potter series, Rowling is working hard to extend and enrich the mythology she created around the child wizard.
12、 In contrast to the eight Harry Potter movies, which were based on the seven books and most of which were written by experienced screenwriter Steve Kloves, the “Fantastic Beasts” series is scripted only by Rowling. This time she skipped the bookstores and went straight to the movie theater.The “Fant
13、astic Beasts” series takes its title from one of Harry Potters textbooks. The leap backward in time, a new set of adult heroes and a globe-spanning background show that Rowling is in tune with her fans and the spirit of the times. Harry Potter and his friends started out as a typical product of 1990
14、s naivety, but since then the loyal veteran audience has experienced the shocks of the 21st century and grown mature and discouraged. The “Fantastic Beasts” series feel less like childrens fare; they deal with adults and frightening events that occurred in Europe at the end of the 1920s.Its 1927, an
15、d the criminal Grindelwald has escaped from prison to Europe. The hero, Newt Scamander, a zoologist of fantastic beasts, prefers to distance himself from politics and maintain his improvised nature reserve in London. But the young Prof. Dumbledore reminds him that neutrality is not an option in hard
16、 times. Dumbledore urges him to cross the Channel to Paris and stop Grindelwald, who is trying to plot a war to ensure the purity of the wizard race.The rough outline of the plot constitutes only part of the movie. There are many other characters who appear in the mystery. I will mention the boy Cre
17、dence who continues to have a central role in the struggle between the hero and the villain, even as his background remains a mystery. Similarly, Newts brother and partner, the snake-woman Nagini, and other new and old characters hint at an obscure past and future. Rowling populates her world with c
18、haracters large and small, odd beasts and simplifies its story to lay the foundation work of the universe. The film lays strong foundations of mystery, but forgets to build any sort of structure above them. Its like a construction site where the budget ran out too fast.With movie screens full of sup
19、erheroes and fantasy films, and every studio trying to float a fictional universe, Rowling is todays most creative builder of cinema worlds, but theres still a difference between her and a mega-corporation like Disney. Every character and beast is there because Rowling said so, not because the marke
20、ting division thought it would promote sales of merchandise. Rowling clearly has a true passion to create a mythology, and just as clearly, she hasnt yet finished creating it.The “Fantastic Beasts” series offers a world even fuller than that of Harry Potter. Once more she collaborates with David Yat
21、es, who directed the last four Harry Potter movies and now the two “Fantastic Beasts” pictures. Still, the world shes created would be even more wondrous if Rowling had only filled it out with a crystallized or at least coherent plot. In the Harry Potter series, she mostly succeeded in making the fi
22、lms into independent works. But without experienced screenwriters to mediate between her imagination and the screen, the two “Fantastic Beasts” episodes are more like a chess game in which the creator moves characters from A to B as part of a broader strategy-which remains unclear.“Fantastic Beasts:
23、 The Crimes of Grindelwald” is a film made for existing fans and doesnt bother to appeal to a new audience. Not by chance does it offer a more mature world for fans who have grown up at least as much as Daniel Radcliffe. For them, the movie delivers the goods, but little of the magic remains. If Row
24、ling continues to put out films without a beginning and an end, her world will collapse, leaving only the middle. It may be entertainment with captivating characters and effects, but its not a movie.1、What changes has J.K. Rowling made in her writing career?AShe was forced to abandon her original wr
25、iting career and start a new one.BShe was determined to skip the bookstores and publish books on her own.CShe started a new fantasy book having nothing to do with the Harry Potter series.DShe tried to enrich the Harry Potter series as a screenwriter rather than a novelist.2、Who are probably the targ
26、et audience of the “Fantastic Beasts” series?AKids newly introduced to magic. BTeenage students with grand dreams.CAdults going through life changes. DProfessional critics of fantasy books.3、What are the features of the “Fantastic Beasts” series?AComplex story and exciting characters.BSimple story b

DBy citing examples.6、What does the author think of J. K. Rowlings performance as a screenwriter?AIt is really a d
29、isappointment for movie goers.BIt is widely acknowledged by her book fans.CThere exits much more magic in her screenplay.DThere is still much room for improvement.22(8分)Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making it possible for companies to monitor workers behavior in great detail and in real time. Star
30、t to slack off (懈怠), and AI could talk to your boss.One company offering such services is London-based start-up Status Today. Its AI platform relies on a regular supply of employee data, including everything from the files you access to when you use a key card. From this, it builds a picture of how
31、employees normally function and signals any unusual performance. The idea is to spot when someone might become a security risk by doing something different from their usual behavioral patterns. “All of this gives us fingerprint of a user, so if we think the fingerprint doesnt match, we raise a warni
32、ng”, says Mircea Dumitrescu, the companys chief technology officer.The system also aims to catch employee actions that could accidentally cause a security breach (漏洞), like opening malware (恶意软件).“Were not monitoring if your computer has a virus.” says Dumitrescu. “Were monitoring human behaviors.”B
33、ut catching the security breach means monitoring everyone, and the AI can also be used to track employee productivity. “It seems like they are just using the reputation of AI to give an air of lawfulness to old-fashioned workplace surveillance (监视),” says Javier Ruiz Diaz of digital campaigning orga
34、nization the Open Rights Group. “You have a right to privacy and you shouldnt be expected to give that up at work.”Exactly how companies use the system will be up to them, but its hard to shake the picture of an AI constantly looking over employees shoulders. “It will bother people, and that could b
35、e counterproductive if it affects their behavior,” says Paul Bemal at the University of East Anglia.Phil Legg at the University of the West of England says it will never catch every security risk. “If people know theyre being monitored, they can change their behavior,” he says.1、According to the tex

38、)Educators across the US are calling for major changes to the admission process in higher education. The National Center for EducationalStatistics reported that U.S. colleges and universities received more than 9 million applications between 2013 and 2014. The schools admitted more than 5 million st
39、udents in that time.But a new report says that the problem is not about the number of students that are being admitted, but rather how students are selected. The Harvard School of Graduate Education, along with 80 other schools and organizations, released the report in January 2016, called “Turing t
40、he Tide-Making Caring Common”. The report argues that the process schools use to choose students causes major problems.David Hawkins, theExecutiveDirector for Educational Policy, says that most colleges and universities require many things from students when they apply. Schools usually ask for an es
41、say describing a students interests or why they want to study at that school. The schools also ask for letters from teachers or other responsible adults describing why a student is a good candidate. But, Hawkins says, the area that schools are most concerned with a students high school grades and st
42、andardizedtest results.The report suggests that paying attention to academic success over other qualities works well for some students but hurts others. In addition, academic success is not the most important quality a student should have. More attention should be paid to showing whether or not a st
43、udent wants to do good in the world. The report also suggests that schools should ask for evidence that students care about other people. Moving attention away from academic ability will make process less about competition, the report says. Students will feel less stress about meeting higher and hig
44、her expectation.But the report does have its critics. Bob Schaeffer, Public Education Director, said that every few years, someone makes the same argument for change. He said that no real change has happened yet and that even many of the schools that agree with the report still make no changes. “Man
45、y of the institutions that have supported the findings in the report are the very institutions that have the most competitive admission processes in the country, Schaeffer said.1、What is the problem of the admission process according to the report?AThe schools ask social responsibilities from the ap

Saint Marks Square is often flooded. Venice s waterways require repairs.
49、 But, by far, the biggest problem is the rapidly growing number of visitors to the city.So city officials have decided to require all visitors to pay a fee to enter Venice. The money will help to pay for cleaning and other services that help to keep the city beautiful.Venices Mayor Luigi Brugnaro ex
50、plained the decision to international media during a visit to Rome last week. “Venice is a wonder of the world and only in this way can it be saved”, the mayor said. “The fee process will be experimental at first”, he added.A one - day visit will cost about $ 7. City officials have yet to decide whe
51、n the fee collection will begin. The money will be collected by transport companies that bring the tourists to Venice. The city will set up cameras for those arriving in private cars. And there will be fines for those who do not pay the fee. Students, some workers and children under the age of six w
52、ill not have to pay- Naturally, anyone born or living in Venice is exempt.City officials hope this will prevent the overcrowding that often comes with large numbers of tourists. Some people living in Venice say they do not believe the fee plan will work, Lawyer Roberta Pierabon says it will be impos
53、sible to collect the money from everyone who visits the city. Visitors arrive from all sides. She does not believe tourists can be controlled and added that she disapproved of the plan. Other Venetians like the idea. They say it will make tourism less aggressive. Venetians love their city and know i
54、t will never stop appealing to visitors.

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2016 was divided, with one half awarded to David J. Thouless, the other half to F. Duncan M. Haldane a
57、nd J. Michael Kosterlitz “for theoretical discoveries of topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter(物质拓扑相变和拓扑相).”Haldane said he was “very surprised” at the news, adding that he was glad that their discoveries found something previously unnoticed by many, and that they revealed “
58、more possibilities for looking for new materials.” He particularly pointed out that a lot of work was still ongoing.The years prize amount is 8 million Swedish krona(0.13 million US dollars), and will be split properly between the three winners.The winners are given a sum of money when they receive
59、their prizes, in the form of a document confirming the amount awarded. The amount of prize money depends upon how much money the Nobel Foundation can award each year. The purse has increased since the 380s, when the prize money was 880,000 SEK per prize. In 2001, the monetary award was 2 million SEK
60、 (US$1.4 million; 150,000). In June 204, it was lowered to 8 million SEK.If there are two winners of a particular prize, the award money is divided equally between the winners. If there are three, the awarding committee can choose to divide the money equally, or award one-half to one winner and one-
