　　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

　　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

　　What is Shark Tale an example of?

　　A．A great cast. B．A poor plot.

　　C．Special effects. D．Clumsy animation.

　　BLOOD DRIVE ＆ MARROW（骨髓）REGISTRATION

　　“These patients deserve a chance at a normal, happy future and they rely on the kindness of the strangers to make that happen.

　　— Daisy, Isabelle’s Mother

　　Isabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei. In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed（诊断）with a genetic blood disorder，beta thalassemia. Isabelle’s body is unable to produce healthy red blood cells. As a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions (输血) every 4-6weeks since she was 11 months old. A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical problems. Her only chance at a normal, healthy life is to have a marrow transplant.

　　Isabelle is an only child, so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through The Match Registry. The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients like Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of life, the gift of blood.

　　【2016高考训练】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。You Are What You Eat

　　Genetic（基因的）engineering is the scientific change of the genetic material in a living organism． It allows scientists to identify specific genes, to remove them from an organism's chromosomes （染色体）, improve them, analyze them, and possibly clone them, and to then reinsert the changed gene into the original organism, or a completely different organism．Unlike traditional breeding （繁殖）, where a desired quality would be bred within the same species,

　　genetic engineering can insert desired ones into organisms of different species．Wow--Did you catch that?

　　Genetic engineering creates many positive contributions to agriculture． For example, by genetically engineered（GE） foods,

　　anti-cancer agents,

　　minerals and vitamins can be increased．Improved taste,

　　shelf life, and better transport are all possible．Also, GE plants can increase pest and bacterial resistance, therefore, making the food safe for consumers．

　　But some argue that the possible negative effects outweigh the positives, and critics are starting to voice their concerns．

　　Unlike Europe, in the United States labeling is not required on genetically engineered foods or on foods that contain genetically engineered products． Most Americans do not realize that they are, in fact, eating GE foods．

　　The public is also concerned about the unknown health risks．With limited understanding of genes, scientists cannot predict possible effects．Because most genes introduced into GE plants come from sources not introduced into the human body,

　　it is impossible to know if they will cause reactions． Moreover, due to the lack of labeling if allergies develop, it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them．

　　There is also a major moral question in many minds．For many,

　　the conflict is not if it is safe or not, but it disturbs them because it is unnatural and unnecessary．We are currently producing one and a half times the amount of food needed to feed the world, yet one in seven people are starving．GE food is unnecessary, and fails to address the root of hunger． Many believe that the only people who will benefit are the corporations that produce it．

　　Scientists cannot foresee the possible effects of GE foods, yet we eat them every day without even knowing it．We already have enough food, so why create more that could be potentially harmful to us, to the Earth and to all wildlife? I think that the benefits are amazing, but until we know for sure how these foods will affect us, they are not worth the risk．

　　According to the passage, traditional breeding is different from genetic engineering

　　because _____.

　　A．traditional breeding changes the genes in the same species

　　B．traditional breeding changes the genes in different species

　　C．traditional breeding takes place within the same species

　　D．traditional breeding is more scientific

　　．"The lack of labeling"

　　in Paragraph 4 indicates ______.

　　A．information concerning gene sources is unavailable to customers

　　B．it is currently possible to find the origins of some allergies

　　C．scientists try to hide potential dangers from customers

　　D．the US government is responsible for GE food

　　3．According to Paragraph 5, GE food is unnecessary because______.

　　A．it won't help solve the problem of hunger in the world

　　B．there are potential dangers in producing GE food

　　C．we're now producing more food than before

　　D．customers will benefit from GE food

　　．What is the author's attitude towards genetic engineering?

　　A．Welcoming．

　　B．Disapproving．

　　C．Unconcerned．

　　D．Optimistic．—4、CAAB
