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 become 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.5,2015,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.
1.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph
A.To give a brief account of the passage.
B.To warn people of the coming danger.
C.To explore ways to avoid the problem.
D.To introduce the topic of the film.
2.What does the underlined phrase “a different and more ambitious idea” refer 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.
3.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.
4.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

2.D 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“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.”可知,画线部分指的是“帮着地球一起逃离”,故选D项。

4.C 主旨大意题。根据第二段并结合文章介绍的中国科幻电影《流浪地球》获得成功的原因可知,C项“中国科幻开辟新路”最符合文章标题,故选C项。
Ⅴ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要以一部纪录片为切入点,讲述了塑料垃圾堆积成海的糟糕现状。我们应当提高环保意识,改变现状。
1.D 根据上文“We’ve been producing plastic in huge quantities.Drinking bottles,shopping bags and even clothes are made of plastic.”可知,我们在制造大量的塑料,生活在一个充满塑料的世界里;结合下文“What happens to all the rest This is the question the film A Plastic Ocean answers.”可知,设空处应承上启下,D项“我们生活在一个充满塑料的世界里,只有一小部分被回收。”符合语境,故选D项。
2.A 根据上文以及下文“In total,they visited 20 locations around the world during the four years to make the film.”可推断,在印度洋上发现的大量塑料垃圾促使他们去到更多被影响的地方,A项“这使得他们到世界各地去观察其他受影响的地区。”符合语境,选项中的This指代上文提到的“the shocking discovery of a huge,thick layer of plastic floating in the Indian Ocean”,故选A项。
3.G 根据上文“In the film there are beautiful shots of the seas and marine life.”以及下文“We see how marine species are being killed by all the plastic we are dumping in the ocean.”可知,上文中的“美丽的镜头”与下文中的“倒进海里的垃圾”形成对比。G项“这些与倾倒的塑料垃圾形成对比。”符合语境,选项中的These指代上文提到的“beautiful shots”,故选G项。

Ⅵ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个“缺少音乐细胞”的男孩为了满足身患绝症的妈妈的愿望而刻苦练习钢琴,最终演出成功的感人故事。
1.C level水平;convenience便利;age年龄;moment时刻。根据后文“I explained it to Robin that he was too old”可知,作者喜欢学生在较早的年龄开始学习钢琴。
2.C task任务;plan计划;dream梦想;hobby爱好。结合句意,根据后文Robin所说的“My mum’s going to hear me play someday.”以及“It was the first time she could hear me play on the stage.”可知,听他弹钢琴是他母亲的梦想。
3.D 句意:虽然Robin很努力,但他似乎没有基本的音乐意识。unless除非;because因为;until直到;although虽然。前半部分“Robin tried very hard”和后半部分“he didn’t seem to have the basic sense of music”之间存在转折关系。
4.B 句意:然而,他还是继续学着钢琴,而且在每节课结束时他从来没有忘记说:“我妈妈总有一天会听到我演奏。” act表现;continue继续;command需要;prove证明。根据前文可知,Robin没有基本的音乐意识,根据“However”的转折语义可知,他仍在继续坚持学习。
5.B encouraged受鼓励的;disappointed失望的;touched受感触的;guided被指导的。根据前文“But it seemed impossible”以及后文“his slow progress”可知,作者很失望。
6.A 句意:有一天,他告诉我,他妈妈病了,他不能再来上我的课了。tell告诉;show出示;convince使确信;promise承诺。根据后文“his mother was sick and he couldn’t come to my class any longer”可知,Robin是陈述一般事实,所以指“告诉老师”。
7.B look forward to盼望;sign up for报名;focus on专注;learn from向……学习。根据前文“I was preparing my students for a music show”可知,作者为学生准备音乐节目,所以Robin前来报名参加。后文“My mum had cancer and just passed away the day I went to your to ask for your permission to take part in the show.”可知,他要报名参加这个节目。
8.C warn警告;persuade说服;allow允许;force强迫。根据后文“Maybe it was the in his eyes or maybe it was something inside of me saying that it would be all right.”可知,作者答应了Robin的要求,所以指“允许”他报名。
9.A determination决心;happiness幸福;reflection反思;anger愤怒。虽然作者并不看好Robin,可是却允许他报名了。其中原因之一,应该是Robin的坚决态度。
10.D excited激动的;satisfied满意的;relieved放心的;surprised吃惊的。根据后文“he had chosen one of the most difficult pieces of Mozart”可知,作者没有想到他竟然选择了最难的曲子,所以感到惊讶。
11.A gracefully优雅地;awkwardly笨拙地;slowly缓慢地;quickly迅速地。根据后文“He played so well ”可知,Robin弹得很好,所以这里描述他的手指“优雅地”在琴键上舞动。
12.B shake摇动;clap鼓掌;dance跳舞;laugh大笑。根据前文“He played so well ”可知,Robin弹得很好,根据后文“when he was leaving the stage”语境可知,此处指大家鼓掌喝彩。
13.D follow跟随;drive驾驶;wake醒来;run跑。根据前文“He played so well that everyone excitedly when he was leaving the stage.”可知,Robin弹得很好,所以作者激动地跑上舞台向他祝贺。
14.A house房子,家;office办公室;class班级;stage舞台。根据前文“Robin came to my home and said he had to the show”可知,Robin去作者家里请求参加演出。
15.A special专门的,特殊的;important重要的;similar类似的;popular流行的。根据前文Robin所说“It was the first time she could hear me play on the stage.”可知,因为是去世的妈妈第一次听Robin在舞台上演奏,所以Robin想让演奏与众不同。
Ⅶ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的传统乐器曾侯乙编钟的相关内容。
1.a 考查冠词。句意:曾侯乙编钟是中国古代一种独特的乐器。根据句意可知,此处表示“中国古代一种独特的乐器”,为泛指,所以用不定冠词,且unique是以辅音音素开头,故填a。
2.to admire 考查非谓语动词。句意:无论远近,来到湖北博物馆的人都迫不及待地要亲自来欣赏它。can’t wait to do sth.意为“迫不及待做某事”。故填to admire。
3.musical 考查词性转换。句意:这种中国古老的乐器是由65个不同大小的铜钟组成,铜钟分三层挂着,分为8组。修饰名词instrument用形容词,故填musical。
4.which 考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词65 bronze bells,且关系词在从句中作主语,故填which。
5.are decorated 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:所有的钟都装饰着一些精致的雕刻。分析可知,主语All of the bells和decorate之间是被动关系,且描述的是一般情况,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,故填are decorated。
6.standing 考查非谓语动词。句意:当你面对着编钟时,你会发现它们静静地站在那里,像一排排的武士,但又像古代的妇女一样优雅。分析可知,此处为“find+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,stand和其逻辑主语them之间是主动关系,所以用动词-ing形式作宾语补足语。故填standing。
7.festivals 考查名词的数。句意:在古代,这种乐器通常是在重要的节日或庆典、祭祀、宴会或丰收时演奏的。分析可知,festival为可数名词,结合下文的ceremonies可知应用其复数形式。
8.particularly 考查词性转换。句意:它非常流行,特别是在战国时期。分析可知,设空处修饰时间状语during the Warring States Period,所以用副词形式。故填particularly。
9.is 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。分析可知,句子主语为The music,设空处为谓语动词,句子表达的是一般情况,所以用一般现在时,故填is。
10.of 考查名词所有格。句意:它高度代表了中国人民的智慧。分析可知,此处表示所属关系,应该用of所有格。Unit 4分层跟踪检测(一)Starting out & Understanding ideas

Several years ago,I went to see an advanced cartoon 3D movie Frankenweenie at the Walt Disney Studios,in California.A few days later,our chief editor gave me a new task and then I sat down for interviews with the film’s director,Tim Burton,and some of the actors.
As for the movie,I had a lot to talk about as an audience.It was one of the most alluring movies I’d ever seen.Even though it was made in black and white,it was so lively that my mind seemed to fill in color in every scene(场景).Burton talked to me about why he chose to use black and white and 3D technology for Frankenweenie.“I like the depth and shadows(阴影) that you can get with black and white,” he said.“And I just thought the 3D technology would be really fun to see.”
He’s right.The whole movie is a lot of fun.A school student Victor Frankenstein lives in a small town,whose dog Sparky is hit by a car one day.Victor is very sad and lonely until he brings the dog back to life inspired by an experiment of his science teacher about the power of electricity.Victor’s classmates learn what happens and also try to bring their pets back from the dead.These creatures end up with causing widespread damage throughout the town.Finally,the dog gives up its own life to save Victor.
My favorite part is the moment when Victor brings Sparky back to life,because I have a very strong love for animals.This scene isn’t the funniest,but it is really heart-warming to me.
I’d like to recommend this movie to kids because of the unusual and lively characters.And it does attract those who are interested in cartoon techniques to see this film.The effects will blow your mind out of the water.Be sure to check out this exciting movie in theaters.

A.It is especially attractive for the old.
B.It is probably a science fiction movie.
C.It partly uses the color of black and white.
D.It is the funniest one the author has ever seen.

As a successful American businessman and inspiring speaker,Chris Gardner used to struggle with homelessness while raising a son.His autobiography(自传),The Pursuit(追寻) of Happiness,was a bestseller that has been translated into over 40 languages.This book was also made into a movie of the same name in 2006,which has won many awards.
In this movie Chris Gardner,a struggling salesman,is running short of money but is full of ambition(雄心).The film set in San Francisco,Gardner is stuck in a dead-end job.He is an intelligent,successful workman by day,and a helpless father living in a train station at night.
You will be emotionally tired as you see this hard-working,loving father become more and more hopeless.To make matters worse,he is left to raise his five-year-old son alone after Christopher’s mother leaves them to live in New York.All he wants to do is protect his son,but being a single father is difficult,and being broke only makes it worse.The lines are excellent;but even without dialogue,the actor’s expressions in the movie capture the panic of a father,who is afraid of failing and of losing his son.
Throughout the movie,you are hoping Gardner will succeed,and his positive attitude in the face of such difficulties is truly inspiring.Even though the movie is based on a true story,some critics(评论员) have said that The Pursuit of Happiness does not reflect reality because Gardner never seems to tire or lose hope in his dream to be successful even when he is homeless.Despite this criticism,the ending leaves you with a warm feeling and the actor does an excellent job of making us believe that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

In your life,sometimes you may be asked to speak in front of a large group of people.Although it sounds a little scary,even those with stage fright can speak successfully to the group with adequate preparation.
Practice your speech before the big day. 1 If possible,practice the speech in front of a friend or family member to get used to saying it to real people.If you feel you must have note cards,limit the amount to about three cards.This will force you to keep your speech brief and help you keep your eyes focused on your audience.
Remember why you’ve been invited to speak.If you’re battling fear over speaking to a large group of people,keep your mind on the fact that you were selected for this important role.The speech organizers must have seen something valuable in you or your expertise. 2
Remember that fear of public speaking is very common. 3 Most of the people in the audience would be feeling the same fear and stress that you do in your position.Knowing this may make you feel better.
4 What you say should be tailored(专门的) to why you’re there and who you’re speaking to in order to avoid sounding general.If speaking to a charity group,mention the good work certain specific individuals have done for the cause.If speaking at a business conference,briefly state why you want to help these people.
Keep eye contact with the crowd. 5 Pick one person in each section and look at him while you’re speaking.After each important point in your speech,switch your focus to another section.When you focus only on one person at a time,the size of the crowd isn’t as frightening.
A.A good memory is really helpful.
B.Show appreciation to your audience.
C.Mention your audience in your speech.
D.The more you have it memorized,the better.
E.In fact,it’s normal to feel awkward or stressed out before a big speech.
F.Separate the crowd into three sections mentally as you get up to speak.
G.The knowledge of other people’s respect for you should reduce some of the fear.

10.who 考查定语从句。句意:尽管那些从小就开始音乐训练的人似乎受益最大,但研究表明,学习一门乐器永远不会太迟。空格后是限制性定语从句,先行词为those,代指人,在定语从句中作主语,所以用关系代词who引导。故填who。Unit 4分层跟踪检测(三)Developing ideas & Presenting ideas & Reflection

Minutes after the last movie ended the day before at the Plaza Theater,employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups.It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater’s 75-year history.This time,however,the cleanup was a little different.As one group of workers carried out the rubbish,another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end.

A study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology took a closer look at music in sports,specifically how listening to music could affect one’s overall performance.
Researchers asked 150 volunteers to throw a ball into a basket.For the first stage of the study,participants threw the ball from a fixed point.They threw the ball while listening to music of their choice,while not listening to music,or while listening to music that the researchers selected.For the second state they were able to choose where to stand when throwing the ball and performed the same activity with the various music choices.
The study found that listening to music,whether it was music of the volunteer’s choice or a song chosen for them,did not make the participants more or less likely to get the ball in the basket.It had no effect.What it did do was increase self-esteem and make the study participants more likely to take risks,especially for males who were allowed to choose their own music.
The results suggest that music may pump you up.And it may even help you work out harder and longer than you would without it.But no matter what song you listen to,it’s not going to help you get that ball into the basket.
Another study had a detailed look at how music pace might affect exercise.Researchers found that listening to high-pace music makes people feel like they’re working less while also benefiting their bodies more.
Listening to high-pace music while exercising resulted in the highest heart rate compared with not listening to music.This means that the exercise seemed like less effort,but it was more beneficial in terms of enhancing physical fitness.
The study found that the beneficial effects of high-pace music were greatest for people who were walking or running and were felt the least for those who were doing high-intensity exercises such as weightlifting.
8.What were volunteers allowed to do while shooting in the second stage test
A.Choose position and music.
B.Shoot from a fixed point.
C.Shoot with fixed music.
D.Shoot with no music.
9.Which is more encouraging in throwing a ball test
A.Music given by experts. B.Music males chose.
C.Peaceful music. D.Loud music.
10.Which sentence matches the results of high-pace music in this study
A.It has no effect on sports.
B.It improves your athletic skills.
C.It helps easily achieve better workout.
D.High-pace music is beneficial for all forms of exercise.
11.What does the underlined word “enhancing” in paragraph 6 probably mean
A.Reducing. B.Balancing.
C.Changing. D.Strengthening.

Ⅴ.My Favourite Film
My favourite film is A Little Red Flower directed by Han Yan.
The film tells a warm and realistic story about two patients with cancer—Wei Yihang and Ma Xiaoyuan.Ma is optimistic and eventually dies.However,with her encouragement,Wei gradually forgets the fact that he is a cancer patient and completes his dream.
Not only does it have famous stars,but its music is especially amazing.Moreover,it is an educational film,which teaches me to be enthusiastic and cherish life.
