【題目】

What can we do whenever Earth faces a disaster? Is the only solution running away from the planet in spaceships? The latest Chinese sci-fi movie, The Wondering Earth, offers a different and more ambitious（有雄心的）idea.

The film is based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin. In the film, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun. Humans around the world work together to build a giant engine system that will push Earth away from the sun. We're taking the Earth with us to run away.

What makes The Wandering Earth different from Hollywood-style space films? It's probably the special cultural background. For thousands of years, “homeland” has rooted in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old saying is luoyeguigen. It means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree. There are also many ancient poems about homeland. “The season called the White Dew begins tonight / Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright” (露從今夜白，月是故多明). These all show that Chinese people have the tight bond（情感紐帶） with their homeland.

What is Chinese sci-fi? Guo Fan, the film’s director said: “Chinese sci-fi is a way to express our cultural and the spiritual core (精神內(nèi)核). Otherwise, we’re just imitating（模仿）others and telling the same American stories.” And the film was released on February 5, 2019, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. It seems the best time to tell this Chinese sci-fi story. Anyway, to us Chinese, Earth goes wherever humans go, because it's our home.

【1】Why do people consider the film so ambitious?

A. Humans work together to build a giant engine system.

B. Humans are trying to take the Earth to run away together

C. The film story is written by the famous writer Liu Cixin

D. People have managed to run away from Earth in spaceships

【2】Why does the writer use the old saying and ancient poems in this passage?

A. To tell the difference between Chinese and American.

B. To remind us of China's thousands of years of history.

C. To teach some Chinese traditional cultures and spirits.

D. To express Chinese people's love of their homeland.

【3】What makes The Wandering Earth different from Hollywood-style sci-fi?

A. Its fantastic pictures and settings.B. Imitating foreign sci-fi films.

C. Its Chinese cultures and spirits.D. Its creative and brave idea.

【4】What's the best title for the passage?

A. The Latest Chinese Sci-fi FilmB. What is Chinese Sci-fi?

【題目】

The robin (知更鳥) stood on an old climbing plant, and sang his most beautiful song. Suddenly the wind made the plant move, and Mary saw something under the dark green leaves. The thick, heavy plant was covering a door. Mary’s heart was beating fast and her hands were shaking as she pushed the leaves away and found the keyhole. She took the key out of her pocket, and it fit the hole. Using both hands, she managed to unlock the door. Then she turned round to see if anyone was watching. But there was no one, so she pushed the door, which opened, slowly, for the first time in ten years. She walked quickly in and closed the door behind her. At last she was inside the secret garden!

It was the loveliest, most exciting place she had ever seen. There were old rose trees everywhere, and the walls were covered with climbing roses. She looked carefully at the grey branches (枝條). Were the roses still alive? Ben would know. She hoped they weren’t all dead. But she was inside the wonderful garden, in a world of her own. It seemed very strange and silent, but she did not feel lonely at all. Then she noticed some small green shoots coming up through the grass. So something was growing in the garden after all! When she found a lot more shoots in different places, she decided they needed more air and light, so she began to pull out the thick grass around them. She worked away, clearing the ground, for two or three hours, and had to take her coat off because she got so hot. The robin hopped around, pleased to see someone gardening.

【1】What did Mary see under dark green leaves?

A. a robinB. a doorC. a keyD. rose trees

【2】How did Mary feel after walking in the secret garden?

A. excitedB. sadC. angryD. calm

【3】How many years has the garden been empty?

A. NeverB. 10C. 5D. 1

【4】Why did Mary pull out the thick grass around the shoots?

A. Because the thick grass was ugly.

B. Because she wanted to plant more rose trees.

A young man entered the last interview of a company.
