(A)
Patient Sherlock and Cumber fans, get ready. We’re now only less than two weeks away from the
latest installment in
the BBC’s Sherlock series. It will be a 90
-minute holiday special entitled The Abominable Bride.
For
this
standalone
special,
Holmes
and
Watson
are
sent
back
to
late-19th
?/p>
century
Victorian
London, which is exactly
25
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle set his original stories. But despite the time jump, show runner
Steven
Moffat
has
assured
fans
that
this
episode
will
be
very
special,
different
and
not
tied
at
all
to
any
previous
or
forthcoming episodes. The special will combine the supernatural
26
a classic murder mystery.
Now,
the
latest
trailer
has
given
us
a
clearer
sense
of
what
the
Christmas
special
is
about
and
what
27
title
means. From what
28
( reveal) so far, the detectives are busy hunting down a ghostly killer in a bridal gown and
veil.
The
bride
is
believed
to
be
dead
but
is
now
acting
like
an
avenging
angel
in
the
streets
of
London.
From
fog-enveloped Limbhouse, England to the basement of a
29
( ruin) church, Holmes, Watson and
their friends
30
beat their brains out to defeat the enemy. In one rather chilling moment, the
31
( terrify)
bride glides towards Holmes, while in
another, she creeps up behind Waston. It seems the Christmas special is full of
mysterious and spooky scenes.
The Christmas special will debut in 2016 in both the U.K. and the U.S.,
32
in cinemas across China and in
other selected countries around the world.
(B)
Without any previous notice, a documentary dominated headlines and social websites over the weekend.
Under
the
Dome,
a
103-minute
documentary
33
(self-fund)
by
former
news
anchor
Chai
Jing,
34
(release) in China on Feb 28. It has rapidly pushed the public
awareness about air pollution and encouraged people to
join in
35
effort to make a difference.
Chai, 39, said she started the work out of her “personal clashes?nbsp;with smog after she gave birth to a daughter. “I
sealed tight all the windows. I started every day by checking the air pollution index,?nbsp;Chai said. Millions of other peop
le
are doing the same. While they stop there, Chai goes much
36
(deep). “I don't want to live in this way. I need to
find out where the smog comes from and what on earth is going on?
Chai's
research
reveals
that
it
is
the
burning
of
coal
and
oil
37
contributes
to
60
percent
of
PM2.5
pollutants. She then goes on to disclose loopholes in car emissions regulations. Some of the laws have been in place for
years,
38
have never been applied. The film also explains that businesses are pressured not to obey the law
because violating them carries little or no cost, while making changes pushes up costs. The film also points at China's
petroleum and steel industries
39
the biggest sources of air pollution.
Chai
goes
on
to
list
the
things
ordinary
people
can
do
40
(help)
and
sums
everything
up
by
calling
for
individual responsibility in reporting illegal emissions via the hotline 12369.
