Here’s a movie—a sharp, sugar-rush of fun that’s guaranteed to entertain the entire family.
With some terrific computer-generated effects, a great cast and a fun-packed storyline, Robots is the best animated film (动画片) since The Incredibles. Yep, it really is that good.
Set in a world populated by robots, Ewan McGregor plays Rodney Copperbottom, a young robot who leaves his small-town home to pursue his dream of becoming an inventor.
But after arriving in Robot City, his hopes of getting a job at Bigweld Industries are destroyed when he learns the firm has been taken over by the evil Ratchet (Greg Kinnear).
Egged on by his controlling mum, Madame Gasket (Jim Broadbent), Ratchet plans to reduce half of Robot City’s citizens to scrap metal by refusing to sell the spare parts they need to survive.
Instead, he wants to make a fortune selling expensive upgrades that few can afford. As he says, “Why be you when you can be new?”
　　　Aided by a few misfit robots known as the Rustles—including Robin Williams as the cowardly' (胆小的）Fender (“I’m made of a metal called Afraidium”)—Rodney must track down the firm’s founder, Bigweld (Mel Brooks), and convince him to save the city from Ratchet’s plans.
The first thing that’ll strike you about the movie is the thought that's gone into creating Robot City. It’s a wondrous world full of mechanical marvels including wind-up cars and walking streetlamps.
Also terrific are the special effects. This might be an animated movie but at times you’ll catch yourself thinking it’s really a live-action film.
　　　Of course, there have been plenty of animated movies that looked the part but were let down by a weak storyline (see Shark Tale, for example).
But Robots grips (扣人心弦) right from the start thanks to a heart-warming and thoroughly engaging plot that never bores.
　　My only complaints are with Williams who, as usual，has a one-in-10 success rate with his jokes. Also a letdown is a romantic subplot between Rodney and a shapely robot called Cappy (Halle Berry) that doesn’t go anywhere.
Complains aside, this is a mechanical marvel that’ll have you bolted firmly to your seat.
BEST QUOTE(引述): Fender: “Even though you had a discouraging day, just remember there’s another one coming tomorrow.”
BEST BIT: Check out those amazing images.
WORST BIT: Robin Williams, character does an unfunny Britney Spears dance routine.
IF YOU LIKED…Ice Age, The Incredibles, Toy Story... YOU’LL LIKE THIS.
1、This piece of writing is a _______.
A．commercial advertisement
B．film review
C．movie poster
D．literary essay
2、The cast of Robots is made up of all the following actors or actresses EXCEPT _______.
A．Ewan McGregor
B．Robin Williams
C．Britney Spears
D．Halle Berry
3、What is Shark Tale an example of?
A．A great cast.
B．A poor plot.
C．Special effects.
D．Clumsy animation.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Vans, Keds, Dollies—they sound like the names of rock bands, but if you have teenagers, you'll know they're actually the latest in teenage footwear.
But experts are now warning that the current shoe fashions will be causing teenagers discomfort in the short term and storing up years of foot, knee and back pain in the future.
Here, the experts identify the problems caused by teenagers' shoe choice.
KEDS/VANS
Slip-on shoes with elastic (弹性的）sides are particularly popular among teenage boys - with Keds and Vans the most sought-after brands.
The main problem is that they are just too flat—so flat that the heel, which strikes the ground first, also becomes damaged and painful.
BALLET PUMPS
The worst shoes of all are such light and thin dolly shoes. The problem is partly their flatness, as with Keds and Vans. However ballet pumps, which have no string or heel, have other specific problems.
“As the shoe has no fastening device, it relies on the toes to keep the shoe on, causing an awkward gait（步法）, this leads to short- and long-term problems such as calluses（茧子）, heel and knee pain.”
WEDGES AND STILETTOS
These shoes can also cause problems with gait. They may look good, but the heels on these are so high they can force the wearer's body weight forward, making them very unstable.
Teens who wear these shoes regularly are also in danger of joining those millions of women with constant back pain.
SCHOOL SHOES
So what do podiatrists（足科医生）have on their wish list, especially for everyday wear?
Something in a natural, breathable fabric, with a string to hold it on, with a small heel and a deep toe-box that does not press the toes, such as Clark's, Marks & Spencer or Rhino.
If your teen insists on wearing 'bad' shoes, get them some simple foot orthotics(矫形器) in the shoes. These support and correct the movement of the foot and, properly fitted by a podiatrist, can often transform their walk and halt the damage.
1. Of all the shoes mentioned in the passage, which can cause the worst problems?
A. Marks & Spencer. B. Wedges & Stilettos.
C. Keds and Vans. D. Ballet Pumps.
2. Which pair of shoes may not be found on the podiatrists’ wish list?

A. B. C. D.
3. The underlined word “halt” in the last paragraph probably means _______.
A. increase B. worsen C. stop D. cure
4. From this passage we can infer _______.
A. trendy shoes may ruin teenagers’ health
B. fashionable shoes all have orthotics in them
C. experts are strongly against wearing popular shoes
D. podiatrists are expert at producing branded shoes
5. In which column of Mail Online can you find this passage?
A. Sports. B. Science. C. Health. D. Shopping.

完形填空。阅读下面短文，把握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳答案。
Anthropology is a science which deals with man and his social habits. I think of anthropology here as “being interested, without 1 ,in the way other people choose to live and 2 .”
When you are curious about the way someone behaves or the way 3 feel about something, it’s 4 that you will he annoyed(恼火).
When someone acts in a way that seems5 to you, rather than react in your usual way, such as “I can’t believe they would do that,” 6 say something to yourself like “I see, that must be the way they 7 things in their world. Very interesting.” In order for this 8 to help you, you have to be genuine(真诚的).
Recently I was at a shopping mall with my six-year old daughter 9 a group of punk rockers walked by with orange spiked hair and tattoos(文身) covering much of their bodies. At the sight of them, my daughter immediately asked me, “Daddy, why are they 10 like that?” Years ago I would have felt very 11 with such young people. I would have given a judgmental explanation and passed along to her my 12 .Pretending to be an anthropologist, however, has 13 my perspective(看法)a great deal, so it’s made me 14 .I said to my daughter, “I’m not really sure, but it’s interesting how 15 we all are, isn’t it?” She said, “Yeah, 16 I like my own hair.”
When you are interested in other perspectives, it doesn’t mean you’re 17 them. I certainly wouldn’t choose a punk rock lifestyle or 18 it to anyone else. At the same time, however, it’s really not my 19 to judge it either. One of the most important rules of joyful living is that judging others takes a great deal of energy and 20 you away from where you want to be.

答案:C
1. 提示:without judgment的意思是“不加推断地”，相当于下文解释该句的curious。
2. 提示:B、C、D三项都表示的是behave(行为)的具体表现，此处的A项正好和下文的解释相吻合。
3. 提示:英文中常用they来指代someone。
4. 提示:既然你对别人的生活和行为感爱好，那么你也就不行能感到担忧了。
5. 提示:从下文“rather than react in your usual way”来看，此处是“别人的行为方式使你感到惊异”。
6. 提示:可由when引导的从句到“...they would do that”为止，say是祈使句中的谓语，由此开头是告诫自己的话，因此，say之前用just。
7. 提示:see在此相当于regard(看待)。make things表示“制造物品”；find things表示“(丢失后)的找到物品”；D项表示“得到物品”，均与题意不符。
8. 提示:其次段谈论的都是别人或者你自己的“行为方式”，因此，此处表示的是“为了让这种方式对你有益”。
9. 提示:when在此处是并列连词，相当于and suddenly。
10. 提示:在这四个选项中，只有D项可以用于被动语态，表示“装扮)，和上文描述的那群人发型等相吻合。
11. 提示:其他三项表示的都是乐观意义的单词，只有C项表示消极意义。从下文看，作者多年前对那群人的穿衣装扮是“厌烦的”。
12. 提示:views在此相当于opinions,表示“意见、看法”。
13. 提示:上文谈论的是以前的看法，此处谈论的是现在不同的看法，因此说，看法已有了转变。
14. 提示:soft在此表示言行性格的“宽厚”。既然经过了多年的磨炼，看法已经转变了很多，那么整个人也就变得比过去“温存”了。
15. 提示:那群人的发型和“我们全部人的”是不一样的，因此才显得好玩。
16. 提示:从“我宠爱自己的头发样式”来看，此处应用表示转折意思的but。
17. 提示:be for的意思相当于agree；like和be动词连用时是介词(像)；C项表示“在旁边”；D项表示“反对”。
18. 提示:D项表示“把这种发型推举给别人”；发型是没有方法“赠送；连接；寄送”给别人的，因此排解A、B、C三项。
19. 提示:place在此表示“工作、职责”。
20. 提示:pull oneself away为固定短语，意思是“使自己离开”。
