What did Mary do on Mother's Day9. （15分）完形填空In many space films, whenever the Earth faces danger, humans always leave the planet in spaceships.But the latest Chinese science fiction movie, The Wandering Earth, offers a1idea.The film is based on a short story by a Chinese science fiction writer, Liu Ci xin. In this film, the Earth is in2of being damaged by the dying sun. In response, humans around the world work together to build a giant engine system (发动机系统) that will push the Earth3the Sun. Instead of giving up the Earth, this time we will4it with us.For thousa nds of years, “homeland” has played an important role in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old idiom is “luoyeguigen”, which means5one's homeland in old age, like fallen leaves coming back to the roots of their tree. It shows that Chinese people have their closer ties with their6.The special cultural background of Chinese is probably what sets The Wandering Earth different from Hollywood-style space films."What is Chinese science fiction?" Guo Fan, the film's director, said in an interview. "There is no more about superheroes to save humans alone. In Chinese culture, we7try our best to bring everyone together. This is what we saw in the movie. So the way that can really express our culture and spirit can be called a8science fiction. Otherwise, we just copy others and tell the same American stories."And the makers of The Wandering Earth chose the best time to tell its Chinese science fiction story. The film was shown on Feb 5, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the 9journey back to their hometowns no matter how busy the traffic they had to face. So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story: The10goes wherever humans go, because it's our home.（1）A . sameB . differentC . similarD . useful（2）A . fearB . safetyC . dangerD . need（3）A . away fromB . next toC . out ofD . close to（4）A . leaveB . takeC . followD . play（5）A . leaving forB . setting offC . returning toD . getting to （6）A . parentsB . spaceC . childrenD . homeland （7）A . neverB . alwaysC . seldomD . once（8）A .

She doesn't like old newspapers very much. Of course, the best paper comes from wood. Wood comes from trees, and trees are plants. Vegetables and fruit are plants, too, and we eat a lot of them. So can we also eat wood and paper?Scientists say," All food comes in some way from plants." Well, is that true? Animals eat grass and grow fat. Then we eat their meat. Little fish eat little sea-plants, and then bigger fish swim along and eat them. Chickens eat bits of grass and give us eggs. What food does not come from plants in some way?Scientists can do wonderful things with plants. They can make food just like meat and cheese. And they can make it without the help of animals. It's very good food, too. They have begun to say," We make our paper from wood. We can also make food from wood. The next thing is not very difficult." What is the next thing? Perhaps it is food from paper. Scientists say," We can turn paper into food. It will be cheaper than meat or fish or eggs. "So please keep our old books and letters. (Don't feed your cat.) One day, they will be on your plate, if what scientists say may come true.（1）Why does the writer mention that babies and the cat eat paper?A . To tell us babies and his cat like to eat paper.B . To tell us the writer likes babies and his cat.C . To tell us people can eat paper.D . To tell us sometimes paper can be eaten.（2）What can NOT come from plants in some way?A . Nothing.B . Meat and fish.C . Cheese and chicken.D . Wood and paper.（3）What do scientists think of making food from wood?A . It's very difficult.B . People can make eggs from wood.C .

Where May Food Come from in the Future11. （6分）阅读理解Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don't know is that junk has become a problem in outer space too.According to BBC News, there are more than 22,000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes (望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds, so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the smallest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage it.To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.Many scientists are also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of spacejunk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed."The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers," says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space researcher."The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become," he says.（1）Why is space junk considered a problem?A . It burns up after it re-enters the atmosphere.B . It often stops the view of telescopes on Earth.C . It could force new space tools to travel at slower speeds.D . It may crash into other space tools causing damage or death.（2）Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth's atmosphere so that .A . the tools can be reused laterB . the tools don't become space junkC . the earth's atmosphere can stay cleanD . the effects of space flight can be studied（3）How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk?A . Catch it with nets.B . Use robots to collect it.C . Burn it in the earth's atmosphere.D . Send it further away from the earth.（4）In which section of the newspaper would you probably read this article?A . Environment.B . Local News.C . Education.D . Fashion.12. （8分）阅读下面材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
