In many—even most—space-themed films, whenever Earth faces a disaster, the solution is always leaving the planet in spaceships. But the latest Chinese sci-fi movie, “The Wandering Earth”, offers a different idea.
In the film, which is adapted from a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun. Humans around the world work together to build a huge engine system that will push Earth away from the sun. Instead of leaving Earth—again—this time we’re taking it with us.
This idea didn’t come from nowhere. For thousands of years, Ch inese people have had a special emotion at their “homeland” in their hearts and minds. One old saying is “luoyeguigen”, which means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree. Or look to an ancient poem: “The season called the White Dew(白露) begins tonight/Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright.” These both show the strong relationship that Chinese people have had with their homeland.
This is probably what sets “The Wandering Earth” apart fro m Hollywood-style space films. “What is Chinese sci-fi?” Guo Fan, the film’s director, said in an interview. “Films that can really express our cultural and spiritual core can be called Chinese sci-fi. Otherwise, we’re just copying others and telling the s ame American stories.”
And the makers of “The Wandering Earth” may have chosen the best time to tell the Chinese sci-fi story. The film was screened on Feb 5, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story: Earth goes wherever humans go, because it’s our home.
24. In most space-themed films, when Earth is in danger, ________.
A. people always come up with solutions
B. protecting our homeland becomes necessary
C. escaping from Earth is a usual solution
D. spaceships are safe places for people to stay for long
25. What can we know about “The Wandering Earth” from the passage?
A. It follows the latest film fashion.
B. It is bas ed on Liu Cixin’s book.
C. It is a film copying foreign movies.
D. It offers us a new experience of watching films.
26. What does Para 3 mainly talk about?
A. The cultural background of the film.
B. The famous poems mentioned in the film.
C. The suitable season when the film was screened.
D. The common points between Chinese films and foreign films.
27. What can we infer from Guo Fan’s words?
A. American sci-fi fails to express its culture.
B. “The Wandering Earth” tells a foreign story.
C. Chinese sci-fi should have its own features.
D. Science fiction films should express certain spiritual cores.
C
Today we all communicate continually over the Internet. “How are these mobile apps secure?” They all use encryption(加密) to make sure no one else can eavesdrop(窃听) on your messages with your friends, family, and business connections. Apple was one of the first to do this for its customers when it started encrypting the messages between iCloud users. The drawback is the encryption only works between iCloud users. When you send a message, using the Messages app in iOS, to your friend who uses a smart phone that runs a different mobile operating system, such as Android, the message is a clear, unencrypted text message.
This brings us to the other mobile apps that will help us communicate securely. One is to use a Virtual Private Network(虚拟专用网络,VPN). Many of us are used to taking our notebook computers down to the local coffee shop, or with us when we travel, connecting to any open ‘Wi-Fi’, and then keeping doing what we always do on the Internet. What you may not know, however, is that unlike our home Wi-Fi networks which are encrypted, public Wi-Fi that we get at coffee shops, libraries, airports, etc., are not encrypted. Anything done on those wireless networks can be intercepted(截住) by illegal people.
So how do you secure wireless? It is secured by using a VPN. As with the encryption methods for E-Mail and messaging, there are a variety of VPN providers out there that do not cost much money. It is not advised to use a free VPN provider. Free VPN providers can not be reliable because they get much of their money by pushing ads to their users. One way they do that is by tracking what you do, which kind of destroys the purpose of using a VPN in the first place.
Returning to how a VPN can protect your communications, we could go into a lot of detail about what a VPN does, but we will keep it simple instead. Unlike the secure
solutions above, which are very specific, a VPN works by creating a tunnel between you and a remote server. This tunnel is encrypted, which means that everything you send through it is kept safe from eavesdropping. This can be especially useful if you are working at any coffee shop or airport.
28. What does the underlined word “drawback” in Para. 1 mean?
A. Secret.
B. Feature.
C. Influence.
D. Disadvantage.
29. According to Para. 2, we can know that _________.
A. some public Wi-Fi networks are unsafe
B. public Wi-Fi networks do more good than harm
C. public Wi-Fi networks are as safe as those of home
D. most open Wi-Fi networks are controlled by illegal people
30. Why are readers advised not to use a free VPN?
A. It knows whatever you do.
B. Too many ads trouble you.
C. It breaks the original rule of using VPN.
D. Its encryption doesn’t work sometimes.
31. What does the writer mainly tell us in this passage?
A. Which method of encryption is good for us?
B. A method of safe Internet communications.
C. The importance of encryption on the Internet.
D. How to use a VPN to encrypt on the Internet.
D
When international aid is given, steps must be taken to make sure that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization (UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.
More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common saying goes, “Give me a fish and I eat for a day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care. Even a small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is taken for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant(净水厂) or the administration(行政部门) of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It
does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required knowledge. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back from time to time to clear doubts or to improve themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or falling into the wrong hands.
Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.
32. According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time?
A. By solving the cost problems.
B. By solving the transportation problems.
C. By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO.
D. By setting up a body of devoted people in every country.
33. What can we know from the second paragraph?
A. Small countries hardly share technology with other countries
B. Less developed countries need nothing but technology support.
C. Exchange students can make great contributions to their motherland.
D. Sharing technology with other countries will cost a country much.
34. The second paragraph is developed mainly ________.
A. by comparison
B. by cause
C. by example
D. by process
35. The author points out that offering financial support to countries in need _________.
A. can only solve emergencies momentarily
B. is a solution usually provided by developed countries
C. is the most effective way when facing emergencies
D. is the only solution a country can think of

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

There’s nothing magical about the number 10,000. In fact, the idea of walking at least 10,000 steps a day for health goes back decades to a marketing movement started in Japan to help sell a pedometer(计步器). And, in the following years, it was adopted in the US as a goal to keep healthy. It’s often the default setting(默认设置) on fitness trackers. 36
“The original basis of the number was not scientifically determined,” says researcher I-Min Lee of Brigham and Women’s Hospital. She and her colleagues designed a study that included about 17,000 older women. It turns out that women
who took about 4,000 steps per day got an increase in longevity(长寿), compared with women who took fewer steps. Lee says, “ 37 ”
One surprise: Women who took 4,400 steps per day, on average, were about 40 percent less likely to die during the follow-up period of about four years compared with women who took 2,700 steps.
Another surprise: 38 In other words, women who walked more than 7,500 steps per day saw no additional increase in longevity.
“I love this study.” says Kathleen Janz, who studies how physical activity influences health at the University of Iowa. She says the message that comes from this study is that older women can benefit from just light walking. “They didn’t need to spend money at the gym. 39 To me, this study suggests there’s more benefit to light activity than we were previously thinking th ere might be,” she says.
40 It didn’t measure things that many of us do that don’t require steps, things like gardening, swimming or biking. And it’s safe to think some women in the study were doing these other things that can influence health as well.
A. It was sort of surprising.
B. All they had to do was walk.
C. But what's it really based on?
D. But is walking really good for you mentally?
E. The exercise guidelines call for all kinds of daily movement
F. The benefits of walking reached its limits at about 7,500 steps.
G. Another thing Janz notes is that this study only measures walking.

It’s believed that of the 7 billion or so people on Earth, each one of us 61 (have) his own unique fingerprints. But do you know that our fingerprints can actually reveal a lot more about us than just our identity? Fingerprints can indicate lifestyle and environment, 62 (eat) habits, possible medical problems and even the job of a person.
A fingerprint is formed when a finger touches a surface. Most fingerprints can’t
63 (see) by our eyes and require a chemical development process in order 64 (make) them visible.
Now the technique of fingerprint is mostly used in crime detection, but 65 (it) application could be much wider. For example, researchers can tell what medicines people are taking 66 their fingerprints, which may be of great help
in the future to doctors treating their patients.
While it’s 67 (common) believed that our fingerprints never change, in fact, they do—and 68 way they change can provide a lot of very 69 (use) information. In the future, fingerprint science won’t be limited to the crime lab
70 can help doctors keep us in the best possible health.
