In the film The Wandering Earth (《流浪地球》) , humans save the Earth without leaving it. In many films, whenever Earth faces a disaster (灾难) , the 1 is always running away from the planet in spaceships.
But the latest Chinese sci-fi movie offers a different and more ambitious idea. In the film, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun. In reply, humans around the world work 2 to build a huge engine system that will push Earth away from the dying sun. 3 giving up Earth-again-this time we're taking it with us.

Or there is an ancient poem "The season called the White Dew begins tonight. Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright. "These 6 show the tight link that Chinese people have had with their homeland.
This special cultural background is probably the key 7 separates The Wandering Earth from Hollywood-style space films.
“What is Chinese sci-fi?" Guo Fan, the film's director said. "A movie that can really 8 our cultural and spiritual view can be called Chinese sci-fi.”
And the makers of the film may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The film was released on Feb. 5th, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the 9 journey back to their hometowns.
So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story. Earth 10 wherever humans go, because it's our home forever.
1. A. question B. solution C. problem D. difficulty
2. A. together B. along C. with D. nearly

Earlier this year, China achieved a new milestone（里程碑）in space exploration. On January 3, Chang'e 4 became the first space probe（探测器）in history to successfully land on the far side (dark side) of the moon. After a 26-day journey, it touched softly down on a crater.

Chang'e 4 has sent back photos of the far side of the moon. It is also being used to carry out experiments. The data（数据）collected from these experiments could be used to help us build abase on the moon in the future. The success of the Chang'e 4 mission（任务）is a major achievement for China's space program.
China launched its lunar（月球的）exploration program in 2004, naming it Chang'e. Chinese scientists set three goals-" orbiting（环绕运行），landing and sample（样本）returning". Chang'e 4 has realized the second goal. The third will be achieved during the Chang'e 5 mission, which is set to take place before the end of this year.
Following the success of the Chang'e missions, Chinese scientists are looking even farther into our solar system（太阳系）. China's first Mars mission is expected to be carried out by 2020.

棍据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人1~5小题横线上的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
People travelled to see the buildings, the food, the national dresses in foreign countries because they thought they would not be the same as those of their own countries in the past.
1 They all have their Hilton or Sheraton Hotels everywhere. They all have their McDonald's, their KFCs and their Pizza Huts. Office buildings look the same everywhere, and most city centers are full of office buildings. And of course, people are driving the same brands of Japanese or European cars.
Then why is the foreign travel more popular nowadays? What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country that they can not experience at home? The answer could be that people could be very interested in the past. 2 Most people travel overseas to find out what foreign countries' history and culture used to be like, not what they are like today. Tourists visit different kinds of museums in foreign countries so that they can learn their history and culture.
Every country also has its own beautiful places for tourists to visit. 3 .
4 It is not just its old buildings, its works of art or beautiful places, but also the people who live in it. This is why a country such as Thailand attracts millions of people. The tourists come mainly because of the friendliness of the people there. It is why the Pacific islands are also so popular. 5 .
A. It's a nation's history and culture that are main attractions.
B. The friendly people make visitors feel welcome.
C. Finally, another attraction is its food.
D. At present, however, one large city is similar to another.
E. Their own special scenery would certainly attract tourists from other countries.
F. The culture of a country means a lot.

Dear Sir,
I don't understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores at home. Kids these days already have enough stress from school. They don't have time to study and do housework, too. Housework is a waste of their time. Could we just let them do their job as students? They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university. Also, when they get older, they will have to do housework so there's no need for them to do it now. It is the parents' job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children. And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult. I don't mind doing them.

1. I do not understand why some parents make their kids help with housework and chores at home. Kids these days already have enough stress from school. They do not have time to study and do housework, too. Housework is a waste of their time. Could we just let them do their job as students? They should spend their time on schoolwork in order to get good grades and get into a good university. Also, when they get older, they will have to do housework so there is no need for them to do it now. It is the parents' job to provide a clean and comfortable environment at home for their children. And anyway, I think doing chores is not so difficult. I do not mind doing them. ( Ms. Miller)
2. I think it is important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It is not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too much. They're always asking, "Could you get this to me?" or "Could you help me that?" Doing chores helps to develop children's independence and teaches them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should do their part in keeping it clean and tidy. Our neighbor's son got into a good college but during his first year, he had no idea how to take care of himself. As a result, he often fell ill and his grades dropped. The earlier kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future. ( Mr. Smith)
1. Who thinks housework is a waste of their time?
2. What does Ms. Miller think kids should spend time on? Why?
3. In Ms. Miller's opinion, what's the parents' job?

5. What are the pros about kids doing chores?

六、第一节
Ms. Miller thinks housework is a waste of time. Kids should spend their time on schoolwork to enter a good university. When they grow up, they will be able to do it. Doing chores is the parents' job.
But Mr. Smith thinks doing chores can help kids to develop their independence and teach them to take care of themselves. It can help them understand the meaning of fairness. They should know their duty at home.
笫二节 One possible version:
Do you think a middle school student should do chores at home? Some people think students needn't do any housework. I disagree. Do you know why? It's good for students to do some housework. There are three reasons. Firstly, doing some housework can make you independent. You can't depend on your parents all the time. Secondly, doing some housework can keep you healthy and strong. Finally, when you do chores, you can understand your parents better.
In a word, I think it's good for students to do some housework.
