【題目】 China isn’t very well-known for its sci-fi films. But a new movie called The Wandering Earth has become China’s biggest sci-fi hit. It’s based on a short story written by a Chinese sci -fi( 科 幻 小 說 ) writer Liu Cixin. In the film, Earth is in face of being destroyed by the dying sun. So humans around the world work together to move Earth out of the solar(太陽的) system. But it will take 2, 500 years to do this.

In most space films, whenever Earth faces a disaster, the solution is always fleeing the planet in spaceships. But The Wandering Earth, offers a different idea: Earth goes wherever humans go, because it’s our home. Instead of giving up Earth again this time, we’re taking it with us.

For thousands of years, “homeland” has had an important place in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. This special cultural background is probably what makes The Wandering Earth different from Hollywood-style space films.

【1】The Wandering Earth is based on a short story written by a(n) ________．

【題目】 Fighting an enemy that we cannot see is terrible. The novel coronavirus（新型冠狀病毒） is one of these invisible（看不見的） enemies and it brings us a great disasters. It has infected（感染） 435,519 people in China and other places in the world as of（截至） March 25. It was reported that it killed 3,281 people in China.

But even if we cannot see the virus, we know how it behaves and spreads around. It is just like most other viruses. To prevent any respiratory（呼吸系統(tǒng)）illness, what we can do is to have good personal hygiene（衛(wèi)生）. And that includes wearing a mask and washing hands. By wearing a mask, we keep ourselves away from the droplets （飛沫）that infected people coughed and （打噴嚏）. These droplets can spread the virus — as far as two meters! But these droplets don’t stay in the air for long. They quickly fall and land on surfaces, like tables or clothes. They can also be passed on to elevator buttons（電梯按鈕）and door knobs（把手）by our hands. The novel coronavirus can stay alive for quite a long time on smooth surfaces, so washing hands becomes important.

A new discovery about the virus makes it even more necessary to keep these hygienic habits even if we don’t think we’ve interacted（接觸） with anyone infected. According to People’s Daily , there is evidence that the virus might be contagious（有傳染性的） even before patients start showing symptoms（癥狀）. And these people don’t even know that they’re ill yet.

"However, this epidemic（傳染�。� brings us a positive（積極的） change. It’s that we’ve developed better hygienic habits. After all, washing our hands is really what we should do every day.

根據(jù)上面短文內(nèi)容填空。

【3】When these droplets stay in the air, they _____________ quickly fall and land on surfaces but also can be passed on to elevator buttons and ____________ by our hands.

【題目】 Have you ever heard of “a ball of energy”? People often use it to describe very active children. But today we tell about an invention called the socket, that is a real soccer ball of energy. Julia Silverman explains that in fact the socket is a portable generator.

Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews developed the socket as part of a group project for an engineering class at Harvard University. There are mechanisms in a socket. When you kick, hit or throw it, energy is then kept in it by these mechanisms instead of disappearing into the environment.

Then the user can put something directly into the ball, like a lamp, or a mobile phone charger so that they can get energy from it. For every fifteen minutes of the game play, the socket can provide enough electricity for an LED lamp for three hours, and the ball can store up to 24 hours’ electricity.

The International Energy Association reported last year that nearly one and a half billion people in the world had no electricity to use, and most of them live in sub-Saharan Africa and in India and other countries in Asia.

Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews both had experiences in developing countries before they began the project. They knew that power shortages are a serious problem in really areas. There’s an energy crisis in the world. One out of every five people in the world don't have any electricity, there are a lot of health problems because what people use instead of any electricity are harmful choices like kerosene lamps, which produce a lot of smoke.

Julia Silverman says the socket ball is one small solution to a big problem. Jessica Matthews and Julia Silverman hope their socket ball will shine more light on the problem of power shortages. It offers people a chance to put their energy into the world’s most popular sport and get some energy in return.

【1】From the passage, we know the socket is__________.

A.an active childB.an inventionC.a lampD.a mobile phone

【2】The underlined word “crisis” in the passage means a time of__________.

A.difficultyB.safetyC.successD.sadness

【3】We can infer from the passage that__________.

A.active children care more about playing socket

B.people are expected to get some energy by playing socket

C.Julia Silverman has never been to developing countries before

D.kicking a socket can let the energy disappear into the environment

【4】The best title for the passage should be__________.

A.A soccer ball that gives energyB.The way to help save electricity

C.The best way to solve energy problemsD.An invention changing the world

【題目】請閱讀下面這篇文章，根據(jù)所提供的信息，完成下面的信息卡。

We often dine out with others, but do you know some basic etiquette（禮節(jié)）? If you behave well at the table, it will make your partners happy. But if you don't know how to behave yourself, you will feel embarrassed. Here are some tips for the table etiquette.

When helping a woman pull her chair to the table, hold it and guide it. Don't shove（碰撞）it against the back of her legs. If you're seated at a table with eight or fewer guests, wait for everyone to be served and for the hostess（女主人）to begin eating before you dig in. At a long banquet table, it's OK to start when several people are seated and served.

If you prefer not to have wine while dining out, don't turn your glass upside down, and don't make a big deal of saying you don't drink. Simply place your fingertips on the rim（邊緣）of the glass and say “Not today, thanks.”

When you excuse yourself to go to the restroom, just say “Please excuse me.”

When out with friends or family—even at a fancy restaurant—it's OK to ask for your leftovers（吃剩的飯菜）to be wrapped. But don't do it at a business lunch or dinner.

【題目】 I live in Porto. It is a city in the north of Portugal (葡萄牙). It’s the second biggest city in Portugal.

It’s a beautiful city，and it’s great for walking around. There are lots of narrow streets，and it has many churches，museums，and markets. There’s a place called Foz. There are a lot of outdoor restaurants in Foz—people go there at the weekend to sit in the sun，drink coffee，and watch the Atlantic (大西洋).

The weather is very different from the south of Portugal. The winter can be very wet，and it sometimes rains for days. The summer is wonderful—it’ s sunny but not usually too hot，and it’s great for going to the mountains or the beach.

Porto is famous for port wine. The biggest interesting place in Porto is probably the river because there are some beautiful bridges. One of the bridges is designed by Eiffel，and lots of people go on boat trips on the rivers. There’s a festival in the sixth month called Sao Joao every year. Everybody have fun on this day.

The people here are friendly. It’s a working city and it has a real sense of history，and that’s the main reason why I like living here so much.
