湖北省重点高中智学联盟2024年秋季高三年级10月联考 英语试题 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Pokémon Detective Pikachu Pokémon Detective Pikachu is a mystery adventure in which human beings and Pokémon co- exist. Starring Ryan Reynolds as the voice of a Pikachu who can speak to only one human, Tim (Justice Smith), the story explores how the two team up to look into the supposedly accidental death of Tim’s detective father. There’s definitely some violence including a terrible car crash but nothing gets bloody. The main characters are frequently in danger, but no one dies in the end. Planet of the Apes It’s difficult enough for you to make sense of a planet where humans are ruled by talking apes, but when we finally get used to the concept, the ending is really beyond our expectation.

While it’s common for suspense films to reveal that some fundamental aspect isn’t what it appears to be, in this film set in a 19th century village, basically nothing turns out as it appears. Fighting Club This 1999 hit film starring Edward Norton as an office worker who starts an underground fight club isn’t the easiest movie to follow. But the dramatic ending, which involves exploding buildings, may be the most shocking part of all. Each product we feature has been independently selected and by our editorial team.

Oiled, and wearing a bikini, she found herself under bright lights on stage, twisting to show off her muscles alongside people half her age. Flowers had a natural talent for freestyle swimming as a child, but struggled with her body image. Self-conscious and often shy, Flowers went on to marry and divorce twice. “It all affected my self-esteem and I ended up with an eating disorder for many years,” she says. “It was getting worse and worse until I was hospitalized for issues relating to my weight loss at 58. That was my wake-up call.” Once she had built up some strength and was discharged, the youngest of her two sons, Ryan, encouraged Flowers to start taking care of her body through exercise and to see food as a way of keeping fit. He directed her towar ... ...
