The sun is going to enter the orbit of Mercury according to scientific calculations, which will result in the Earth catching on fire. Who will save the world
This imaginative tale is at the heart of a Chinese sci-fi movie The Wandering Earth. Unlike many American space-themed films where the solution to a challenge Earth faces is always fleeing the planet in spaceships, this time we’re taking the Earth with us. The film, which has made it the country’s most successful film of all time, has offered a different and more ambitious idea.
The “ambition” didn’t come from nowhere. For thousands of years, “homeland” has had a soft spot in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old idiom that shows a strong feeling that Chinese people have had for their homeland is “luoyeguigen”, which means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree.
“What is Chinese sci-fi ” Guo Fan, the film’s director, said in an interview. “A vehicle that really expresses our cultural and spinal core can be called Chinese sci-fi. Otherwise, we’re just following others and telling the same Hollywood stories.”
And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The film was released 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.
4. The main purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.
A. give a brief account of the passage B. warn people of the coming danger
C. explore ways to avoid the problem D. introduce the topic of the film
5. The underlined phrase “a different and more ambitious idea” refers to ________.
A. fleeing the Earth in spaceships B. bringing in huge success
C. filling the gap in Chinese sci-fi movies D. helping Earth make its escape
6. Which of the following is NOT the reason for the success of the film
A. The rich imagination of the story. B. Hollywood-style space stories.
C. The special cultural background. D. The time chosen to release the film.
7. What is likely to be the best title for the passage
A. Chinese Sci-fi keeps up B. Chinese Sci-fi backs down
C. Chinese Sci-fi Sets a New Path D. Chinese Sci-fi Challenges Hollywood
C
If you live in Washington, D. C., or Redwood, Calif., you may have noticed a small, boxy robot rolling along a local sidewalk, minding its own business, but attracting the attention of many a curious onlooker.
The robots, which look like electric rice cookers with wheels, were part of a pilot program last year by Starship Technologies focused on delivering（运送）meals from local restaurants in dozens of cities around the world.
This week, the company showed plans to broaden its delivery service beyond food to include packages, a move that made it “the world’s first robot package delivery service”. The package delivery service can only be applied in some cities in the US.
The wheeled robots have a top speed of 4 mph and can detect barriers（检测路障） from as far as 30 feet away. “The robot can operate through just about anything,” says Nick Handrick, head of operations for Starship’s D. C. office, “If you have something in the way, it’s able to climb it.” By giving customers control of when deliveries occur, Starship Technologies is promoting its service as a way to combat package theft.
To sign up for the service, which costs a little more than $10 per month, customers need to download the company’s app. Customers then create a “Starship Delivery Address,” a unique address inside a Starship facility, instead of a home address, where they can have packages sent from places such as Amazon. com.
Once a package is delivered to the Starship address, customers receive a text notice that allows them to schedule a home delivery through robot. The robots are opened by customers with a mobile phone code (代码).
8. What do we know about Starship Technologies company
A. Packages are delivered by its robots all round America.
B. Its robots have taken on package delivery for a long time.
C. It is the first to provide robot package delivery service.
D. Its delivery service is the best of all in the world.
9. What does the underlined word “combat” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. propose. B. prevent.
C. report. D. discover.
10. What can we learn about robot package delivery service
A. Customers can’t open the robots without a mobile phone code.
B. Starship Delivery Address is the customer’s home address.
C. Customers have to pay a little more than $10 each time.
D. Robots themselves have control over when to deliver packages.
11. What is the passage mainly about
A. Robot delivery service is taking off.
B. Humans are being replaced by robots.
C. Everything can be done by robots.
D. Packages can be delivered by robots.
D
British people work some of the longest hours in Europe, but are among the least productive. Now some companies are shortening the working week to increase efficiency, health and happiness.
Rich Leigh has introduced a four-day week at his PR company. In fact, his company has Friday off, because his firm has taken a four-day week. It is one of a handful of UK businesses that now operate like this: workers still get paid the same as their five-day salary, but they work a day less. The company found that they achieved just as much—and there were even signs of growth. “The key to the scheme’s success,” Leigh says, “is how happy our employees now are.”
The average British worker takes only a 34 minute lunch break and works 10 hours overtime each week (more often than not this is unpaid). Yet UK productivity falls seriously behind their European neighbors, who tend to work fewer hours.
British working practices have caused loss and damage to the nation’s health and happiness. More than half a million workers in the UK quit jobs with work-related stress or anxiety last year. Moreover, the working conditions are changing. Automation（自动化）and AI will have a significant impact on the labor market, where it’s a struggle to have regular work.
Britain is the only EU member that allows workers to ignore the EU working time limit and work longer hours. Now it is the time for a change. O’Grady, an advocate, argues that where businesses have increased their profits as a result of automation, success should be shared with workers in the form of reduced hours. “It’s time to share the benefits from new technology, not allowing those at the top to enjoy the benefits by themselves.” she says.
12. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. British people are the least productive in the world
B. Most companies in Britain have performed a four-day week
C. PR company has seen a rise in employees’ happiness
D. British people work longer and get more payment than other countries
13. Which is the proper description of British working practices
A. The working time of British workers is within the EU limit.
B. As to productivity, Britain is beaten by the United States.
C. Profits gained from new technology are on the decrease.
D. Automation and AI are likely to cause an irregular work market.
14. Which can be inferred from O’Grady’ s words in the last paragraph
A. It’s time for employers to share the increased profits created by automation.
B. Workers should benefit from automation in the form of less working hours.
C. New technology should belong to both businesses and workers.
D. Businesses can’t make more profits without new technology.
15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A. To introduce some British firms’ change to a four-day working week.
B To explain the reasons why British workers suffer stress and anxiety.
C. To make a request for more reasonable working conditions.
D. To present the present productivity problem in Britain.

The sun is going to enter the orbit of Mercury according to scientific calculations, which will result in the Earth catching on fire. Who will save the world
This imaginative tale is at the heart of a Chinese sci-fi movie The Wandering Earth. Unlike many American space-themed films where the solution to a challenge Earth faces is always fleeing the planet in spaceships, this time we’re taking the Earth with us. The film, which has made it the country’s most successful film of all time, has offered a different and more ambitious idea.
The “ambition” didn’t come from nowhere. For thousands of years, “homeland” has had a soft spot in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old idiom that shows a strong feeling that Chinese people have had for their homeland is “luoyeguigen”, which means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree.
“What is Chinese sci-fi ” Guo Fan, the film’s director, said in an interview. “A vehicle that really expresses our cultural and spinal core can be called Chinese sci-fi. Otherwise, we’re just following others and telling the same Hollywood stories.”
And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The film was released 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.
4. The main purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.
A. give a brief account of the passage B. warn people of the coming danger
C. explore ways to avoid the problem D. introduce the topic of the film
5. The underlined phrase “a different and more ambitious idea” refers to ________.
A. fleeing the Earth in spaceships B. bringing in huge success
C. filling the gap in Chinese sci-fi movies D. helping Earth make its escape
6. Which of the following is NOT the reason for the success of the film
A. The rich imagination of the story. B. Hollywood-style space stories.
C. The special cultural background. D. The time chosen to release the film.
7. What is likely to be the best title for the passage
A. Chinese Sci-fi keeps up B. Chinese Sci-fi backs down
C. Chinese Sci-fi Sets a New Path D. Chinese Sci-fi Challenges Hollywood
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. C

If you live in Washington, D. C., or Redwood, Calif., you may have noticed a small, boxy robot rolling along a local sidewalk, minding its own business, but attracting the attention of many a curious onlooker.
The robots, which look like electric rice cookers with wheels, were part of a pilot program last year by Starship Technologies focused on delivering（运送）meals from local restaurants in dozens of cities around the world.
This week, the company showed plans to broaden its delivery service beyond food to include packages, a move that made it “the world’s first robot package delivery service”. The package delivery service can only be applied in some cities in the US.
The wheeled robots have a top speed of 4 mph and can detect barriers（检测路障） from as far as 30 feet away. “The robot can operate through just about anything,” says Nick Handrick, head of operations for Starship’s D. C. office, “If you have something in the way, it’s able to climb it.” By giving customers control of when deliveries occur, Starship Technologies is promoting its service as a way to combat package theft.
To sign up for the service, which costs a little more than $10 per month, customers need to download the company’s app. Customers then create a “Starship Delivery Address,” a unique address inside a Starship facility, instead of a home address, where they can have packages sent from places such as Amazon. com.
Once a package is delivered to the Starship address, customers receive a text notice that allows them to schedule a home delivery through robot. The robots are opened by customers with a mobile phone code (代码).
8. What do we know about Starship Technologies company
A. Packages are delivered by its robots all round America.
B. Its robots have taken on package delivery for a long time.
C. It is the first to provide robot package delivery service.
D. Its delivery service is the best of all in the world.
9. What does the underlined word “combat” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. propose. B. prevent.
C. report. D. discover.
10. What can we learn about robot package delivery service
A. Customers can’t open the robots without a mobile phone code.
B. Starship Delivery Address is the customer’s home address.
C. Customers have to pay a little more than $10 each time.
D. Robots themselves have control over when to deliver packages.
11. What is the passage mainly about
A. Robot delivery service is taking off.
B. Humans are being replaced by robots.
C. Everything can be done by robots.
D. Packages can be delivered by robots.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D

British people work some of the longest hours in Europe, but are among the least productive. Now some companies are shortening the working week to increase efficiency, health and happiness.
Rich Leigh has introduced a four-day week at his PR company. In fact, his company has Friday off, because his firm has taken a four-day week. It is one of a handful of UK businesses that now operate like this: workers still get paid the same as their five-day salary, but they work a day less. The company found that they achieved just as much—and there were even signs of growth. “The key to the scheme’s success,” Leigh says, “is how happy our employees now are.”
The average British worker takes only a 34 minute lunch break and works 10 hours overtime each week (more often than not this is unpaid). Yet UK productivity falls seriously behind their European neighbors, who tend to work fewer hours.
British working practices have caused loss and damage to the nation’s health and happiness. More than half a million workers in the UK quit jobs with work-related stress or anxiety last year. Moreover, the working conditions are changing. Automation（自动化）and AI will have a significant impact on the labor market, where it’s a struggle to have regular work.
Britain is the only EU member that allows workers to ignore the EU working time limit and work longer hours. Now it is the time for a change. O’Grady, an advocate, argues that where businesses have increased their profits as a result of automation, success should be shared with workers in the form of reduced hours. “It’s time to share the benefits from new technology, not allowing those at the top to enjoy the benefits by themselves.” she says.
12. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. British people are the least productive in the world
B. Most companies in Britain have performed a four-day week
C. PR company has seen a rise in employees’ happiness
D. British people work longer and get more payment than other countries
13. Which is the proper description of British working practices
A. The working time of British workers is within the EU limit.
B. As to productivity, Britain is beaten by the United States.
C. Profits gained from new technology are on the decrease.
D. Automation and AI are likely to cause an irregular work market.
14. Which can be inferred from O’Grady’ s words in the last paragraph
A. It’s time for employers to share the increased profits created by automation.
B. Workers should benefit from automation in the form of less working hours.
C. New technology should belong to both businesses and workers.
D. Businesses can’t make more profits without new technology.
15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A. To introduce some British firms’ change to a four-day working week.
B. To explain the reasons why British workers suffer stress and anxiety.
C. To make a request for more reasonable working conditions.
D. To present the present productivity problem in Britain.

【37题详解】
考查副词。此处应填副词修饰动词run，故填recently。
【38题详解】
考查介词。此处考查短语from…to…从……到，故填to。
【39题详解】
考查名词的数。worker是可数名词，结合语境可知该组织里的员工不止一人，故应用复数形式，故填workers。
【40题详解】
考查代词。此处作为动词encourage的宾语，应填they的宾格形式，故填them。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。此处应填形容词作为feel的表语，故填useful。
【42题详解】

【43题详解】

【44题详解】
考查固定短语。此处考查短语learn to do sth学习做某事，故填to be。

与题干相似的句型有：it is believed/said/ reported/ assumed that+句子，句中it是形式主语，that引导主语从句。例如
It is believed that he is honest.据说他很诚实。
It is reported that there will be an exhibition next week.据报道下周会有一场展览。
该句型如果换成真正的主语，则须在动词前加to，即sb/sth is said/believed/reported/ assumed to do，例如：
He is said to be honest.据说他很诚实。
An exhibition is reported to be held next week.据报道下周会举行一场展览。
