Only thrilling for art addicts
Towards the end of the Second World War, America sent a special group of soldiers to Europe to restore famous art pieces to their rightful owners、 The Monuments Men, directed by George Clooney, is inspired by this culture-preserving task、
Set in 1943, historian Frank Stokes (Clooney) successfully persuades the US president of the need to get back stolen art from the Nazis、 Frank believes only by returning the art pieces to their owners can civilization develop as a whole、
So he gathers seven fine arts and history experts; after some basic training, the group went into the heart of the battlefield to recover missing art pieces、
Though there’s some enjoyable acting, the film suffers from a lack of focus、
The script (剧本) is not particularly amusing either: nearly two-hour search only manages to raise a few laughs, and far more yawns covered by popcorn-coated hands、
If you’re an art lover, I suppose the simple idea of saving art alone may be absolutely thrilling、
— Chris Lau
Brutal (残忍得), beautiful fighter
The film 12 Years a Slave will make your heart break, but also sing in celebration of the amazing strength of the human spirit、
British director Steve McQueen’s movie is all the more remarkable because it is based on a true story、 Chiwetel Ejiofor, stars as Solomon Northup, a black man whose happy life is turned upside down、
The educated violinist is born a free man in New York state、 He is abducted (绑架), and taken to the Deep South and sold as a slave、
He is passed between owners, tortured (折磨) and even left for dead, yet remains determined to lift his spirits and those of other slaves、
It’s not an easy film to watch because of the many heartbreaking scenes: lynchings, whippings, assaults、 These scenes force us to see the brutal reality of slavery — and question now things could have been allowed to go so wrong、
Ejiofor impresses the audience with his ability to express suffering with the simplest of facial expressions on his face、
It’s no surprise this has been nominated (提名) for nine Oscars、

About 20,000 years ago, much of Europe, Asia, North and South America was covered by huge sheets (片) of ice, each many kilometres thick、 Since then, the ice has gradually melted and the ice sheets have retreated、 Today, the only ice sheets on Earth’s land masses are found in Antarctica and Greenland、 Some ice also occurs as glaciers in mountainous regions and as floating ice floes (浮冰块) in the Arctic Ocean and around Antarctica、
At first sight, these remote (遥远得) left-overs from the last Ice Age seem of little importance for most of us today、 However, nothing could be further from the truth、 Many scientists believe that our planet is warming as a result of the greenhouse gases that we are pumping into the atmosphere、 If the planet bees warmer, the ice sheets will start to melt, causing sea level to rise perhaps several metres by the end of this century、 Such a rise would cause widespread flooding of low-lying coastal areas and threaten many large cities、
Observations from space suggest that parts of the major ice sheets are beginning to melt more rapidly、 Meanwhile, recent satellite images (影像) have also shown that unusually large areas of sea ice have been melting during the Arctic summer、 Although sea level will not be affected by the melting of the floating ice, there will be other important environmental changes、 For example, ice sheets act like a mirror, reflecting (反射) sunlight and cooling Earth、 If the ice disappears, Earth is likely to bee warmer and major climate changes could occur、 Wildlife living in the polar regions may also be destroyed、
28、 What does the underlined word “retreated” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A、 Grown、
B、 Reduced、
C、 Formed、
D、 Disappeared、
29、 What’s most mon people’s attitude towards the ice sheets?
A、 Optimistic、
B、 Critical、
C、 Sincere、
D、 Unconcerned、
30、 What would happen if the greenhouse gases continue to increase?
A、 Vast amounts of land will be flooded、
B、 Large cities in the world will disappear、
C、 The sea level will drop to its lowest level、
D、 Global temperatures will see ups and downs、
31、 What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A、 Ice sheets melt faster than floating ice、
B、 The melting of floating ice isn’t damaging、
C、 Sea ice melting will have disastrous effects、
D、 Space research contributes to climate changes、
D
For most of us Veterans Day just means a chance to enjoy an extra day off from school or work、 However this November 11th, be sure to spend a few minutes on its true purpose, by acknowledging (感谢) the men and women who have served in our armed forces、
And you don’t have to stop at just this one day、 Join the over 10,000 youth members of the Young Marines group that honor these brave men and women all year long with special events and pletely spoil them for an entire week, from November 4th to 11th, by visiting hospitalized veterans, performing chores (杂务) for disabled veterans and even organizing munity-wide social events、 The program open to kids ranging from the age of eight all the way to high school, is a great way to not only show your appreciation, but also get a chance to do some fun activities with like-minded kids and make a real difference in a veteran’s life、
People often believe that Memorial Day and Veterans Day are celebrated for the same reason、 There is however a subtle but important difference between the two、 While both honor our military personnel (军人), the former is a day to remember and pay respect to all the men and women that died serving our country in a war, while Veterans Day is to celebrate the soldiers who are still alive and served in the forces at any time, during peace or war、
Though several other countries celebrate this day in honor of their own veterans, the meaning is slightly different for each one、 Some like the United Kingdom, celebrate it in honor of all soldiers — living or dead, while others likeCanada celebrate it to honor all living veterans、 They also call it different names、 France and New Zealand still call it Armistice Day、 In the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada it is referred to as Remembrance Day, while Malta andSouth Africa celebrate it as Poppy Day、
No matter what it is called, the reason for observing the day is the same — to show our appreciation to the brave men and women who sacrifice (牺牲) everything to make this world a safer place for the rest of us、
32、 What’s the prime purpose of Veterans Day?
A、 To let people have one more day off、
B、 To show respect for soldiers’ contributions、
C、 To organize fun activities for school children、
D、 To celebrate America’s success in world wars、
33、 What can kids do at the Young Marines group program?
A、 Help take care of sick veterans、
B、 Organize parties for disabled veterans、
C、 Share stories with veterans and other kids、
D、 Entertain veterans by singing and dancing、
34、 What can we learn about Memorial Day?
A、 It is in remembrance of war dead、
B、 It is another name for Veterans Day、
C、 It is observed on November 11th every year、
D、 It honors soldiers who are serving in the military、
