一、阅读理解。
Are you looking forward to watching some great films in this summer? Here are four films you won't miss.
Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman is this summer's most exciting film.Though being a superhero film，it is the most unique：you will see the first female superhero starred by Gal Gadot.On general release from 1 June.
The Mummy
Tom Cruise awakens an ancient princess who has now become a mummy.Cruise jumps from the sky，runs around a lot and wakes up naked in a sleeping bag—but it's Sofia Boutella as the Mummy who draws the most attention.Director Alex Kurtzman speaks highly of Sofia Boutella as the Mummy：“If you look at her eyes，there's a whole performance going on here.Even not saying anything，she can convey something very emotional to you.” On general release from 8 June.
Baby Driver
Ansel Elgort is a getaway driver，who is forced to work for a crime boss.This is a action-romantic-comedy from British writer-director Edgar Wright.The sound in the film is as great as the visuals，which makes it much like a musical，but it is quite different from La La Land.Baby Driver isn't just a series of song pieces.Instead，it finds its form in the elegant，rapid-fire combination of movement and sound.Released on 28 June in Canada and the US.
A Man Called Ove
This film has become one of Sweden's most popular comedies.In the film a lonely retiree who has given up on life，was trying to kill himself，but all his attempts failed.Meanwhile，he developed an unlikely friendship with his neighbors.It is really a tearjerker(催人泪下的电影)，which is funny，tragic，and heartwarming as well.Released on 25 May in Hong Kong,30 June in the UK.

【难句分析】If you look at her eyes，there's a whole performance going on here.Even not saying anything，she can convey something very emotional to you.
分析：本句包含if引导的条件状语从句；going on here为现在分词短语作定语；Even not saying anything为现在分词短语作状语。
译文：如果你看她的眼睛，(会发现)她的眼里就有完整的表演，即使什么都不说，她(也)能向你传达非常有情感的东西。
1．A 考查推理判断。根据Wonder Woman部分中的“Wonder Woman is this summer's most exciting film.Though being a superhero film，it is the most unique：you will see the first female superhero starred by Gal Gadot”可知，如果你是Batman和Superman的粉丝，那么同为超级英雄电影的Wonder Woman会是你最喜欢的电影。
2．C 考查细节理解。根据The Mummy部分中的“If you look at her eyes, there's a whole performance going on here.Even not saying anything，she can convey something very emotional to you”可知，Sofia Boutella即使什么都不说，也能用眼睛很好地传达情感，说明她表演得很出色。
3．D 考查细节理解。根据A Man Called Ove部分中的“It is really a tearjerker (催人泪下的电影)，which is funny, tragic, and heartwarming as well”可知，这部电影既让人觉得有趣，也让人觉得悲伤，同时又很暖心，是一部含有多种感情色彩的电影，所以观众在观影过程中会有不同的情感体验。 二、单项选择。
