Here is a list of some of the years biggest blockbusters so far.Kong: Skull IslandA reboot (重启) of King Kong would normally get laughed at in this day and age, but it looks like this modem version of the story will be worth watching.

This list should give you some ideas on how to get more from your coke than usual.1. Coca Cola is an excellent rust buster (除锈剂). If you have a bunch of small rusty objects, put them in coke overnight and give them a good scrub in the morning. Coke helps to break down the rust, making cleaning much easier. Be sure to throw out the used coke when you are done with it or you might be taking a trip to the doctor.2. Like the previous item, the citric acid (柠檬酸) in coke makes for an excellent window cleaner. This is especially useful for car windows. Pour a can of coke over the window and rub the window, then wipe it off with a wet cloth to remove any sugary matter from the sugar in the drink. As coke is full of sugar, you should clean the sticky matter off the window glasses, or it will be not a cleaner but a dirt.3. For those of you who live in areas where skunk (臭鼬) smells can be an issue from time to time, one can of coke added to water with detergent (清洁剂) really helps to break the smell down. If you have been sprayed, stand in the shower and cover yourself from head to toe with coke wait for a few minutes, then wash yourself with a shower. Coke is an excellent hair treatment so you get two tips for the price of one with this item!4. Pots can sometimes get black on the bottom. The black is almost impossible to remove; this is caused by over-cooking. To remove the black and renew your pot, pour in a can of coke (or as much as you need to cover the blackened area by an inch) and put it on the stove on a low heat. After an hour or so, wash the pot as normal.24. What does the underlined word scrub” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Start.B. Cleaning.C. Shake.D. Example.25. What is important while using coke to clean car windows?A. Use a dry cloth.B. Rub the window lightly.C. Dont pour too much coke.D. Clean the sugary matter thoroughly.26. For which purpose does coke have to be mixed with other material?A. To get rid of the black on the pot.B. To break down the rust,C. To remove smells.D. To clean windows.27. What type of writing is this text?A. An advertisement.B. A review.C. A news report.D. A practical guide.CBethany Burke was packing for a family vacation when she glanced in the mirror and froze. She saw a small ugly red bump in the middle of her forehead. “Thats the worst,” she remembers thinking. She had no idea, however, how much worse it would get.Bethany, then a 15-year-old high school student tried to forget about the bump as she boarded a flight from her hometown of Austin, Texas, to Portland, Oregon. But during the flight the bump grew. And grew. And grew.After the plane landed, more bumps appeared, including one close to her eye. Her parents took her to the nearest emergency room. As it turns out, Bethany had been attacked by a superbug (超级病菌).Superbugs were once a problem only in hospitals and nursing homes. In the past decade, though, they have been affecting healthy children and adults as well. In a few hours, they can cause life-threatening infections.“Teens, especially student athletes, can be easily hurt because superbugs stay in warm, damp places where people come into close contact with each other, such as school locker rooms and gyms,” says Dr. Aaron Glatt, an infectious disease specialist. “If you get cut playing sports, and you come into contact with a superbug on a mat, you give it a way to get in,” he explains.As for Bethany, she says the doctor didnt seem too concerned. “He just handed me this pill, an antibiotic (抗生素),” Bethany says. “He gave us the impression that it was going to clear up very fast.”It didnt take long for Bethany to realize the antibiotics the doctor had given her werent working. One of the bumps grew so large that she could no longer open her eye, and her pain increased. Her parents rushed her to another hospital. The new medicines seemed to start working. Her fever dropped, and the bumps stopped growing.Luckily for Bethany, there were still three powerful antibiotics that together were able to fight off her infection. But what happens when superbugs become resistant even to those drugs? For doctors, thats the biggest worry.28. Bethany discovered a bump on her forehead .A. after the plane for Portland landedB. when she came back from a vacationC. after she boarded a flight from AustinD. when she was preparing for a vacation29. Student athletes are likely to be attacked by superbugs partly because .A. they sweat a lotB. they are often tiredC. they are healthy and strongD. they often wear dirty clothes30. How did Bethany feel after taking the pills given by the doctor in the nearest emergency room?A. Even worse.B. Much belter.C. A little better.D. As terrible as before.31. Doctors are most worried that .A. antibiotics are being overusedB. teens are being attacked by superbugsC. superbugs may become resistant to all drugsD. more people will get infected with superbugsDTheres an old joke about how you can never buy beer-just rent it. Who would think that the same joke applies to book buying in the digital age? But thats the case. Many people who will be loading their iPads or Amazon Kindles with bestsellers or classics wont have any idea how limited their rights are as their books, “owners”. Unlike the owners of a physical book, they wont have the unlimited right to lend an e-book, give it away, or resell it.All these restrictions “raise obvious questions about what ownership is,” observes Dan Gillmor, an expert on digital media. “The companies that license stuff digitally have made it clear that you own nothing.” The rules are based on the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), with which Congress hoped to balance the rights of copyright holders and content users. “In the digital environment, thats always been the trickiest balance to achieve,” Annemarie Bridy, a specialist said.Both camps have important fights to protect. In the digital world, technology allows infinite (无限的) copies to be made. One could give away an e-book and still have it to read. This becomes a great threat to the livelihood of authors, artists, filmmakers and musicians. So some limitation is sensible. Thats usually done through digital rights management, or DRM, which encodes (编码) copy limitations into the digital file. The DMCA protected DRM. The question is whether the balance has given an unfair advantage to the booksellers, at the consumers expense. The answer is yes.For one thing, DRM has put far too much power in the hands of digital booksellers. In 2009, Amazon simply deleted some e-books from buyers, Kindles secretly. An uproar (鼓噪) followed. Amazon then promised never to steal a book back from a Kindle without the device owners permission. But in early 2012, the company shut down the access of Linn Jordet Nygaard, a Norwegian Kindle owner, to her library of 43 e-books. Another uproar followed, and Amazon backed down again, restoring Nygaards account.Another problem of e-book DRM is that most e-books are tied to the sellers reading device. Buy a book from Amazon, and you can read it only on a Kindle or Amazon app. This lock-in gives the booksellers power over not only consumers but publishers.Moreover, nowhere does Amazon, Apple or any other distributor promise to support its digital formats forever. There are ways to protect your e-books by changing the format. But is it legal? No one is quite sure.The guiding principle must he that an e-book owners rights and responsibilities parallel those of a printed book owner, and the same must apply to authors, publishers and booksellers. Clarify these rules, and the book market will reap the benefit.Leave the rules as vague (模糊的；含糊的) as they are, and the victims will be authors, consumers and publishers.32. The author mentions the old joke to say that .A. book buying is easier in the digital ageB. buyers do not really own their e-booksC. it is a good choice just to borrow e-booksD. e-books are convenient compared with physical ones33. Which of the following is TRUE about the DMCA?A. It turned out to benefit digital booksellers.B. It seems a little unfair to digital booksellers.C. It has become a threat to the livelihood of authors.D. It actually played a trick on copyright holders and content users.34. The underlined part “backed down” in Para. 4 probably means .A. felt guiltyB. gave inC. broke a promiseD. made an apology35. What is the authors suggestion?A. Booksellers should be punished by law for their marketing strategy.B. Booksellers should make a formal public apology to the victims.C. E-book readers should buy e-books directly from publishers.D. E-books should be treated the same as physical books.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项多余选项。根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The Winners Club is a bank account specially designed for teenagers.
