11． In many ﹣ even most ﹣ space﹣themed films， whenever Earth faces a disaster， the solution is always fleeing the planet in spaceships． But the latest Chinese sci﹣fi movie， The Wandering Earth， offers a different and more ambitious idea．
In the film， based on a short story by Chinese sci﹣fi writer Liu Cixin， Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun． In response， humans around the world work together to build a giant engine system that will push Earth away from the sun． Instead of abandoning Earth again ﹣ this time we're taking it with us．
This "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 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 verse： "The season called the White Dew begins tonight/Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright"． These both show the tight bond that Chinese people have had with their homeland．This special cultural background is probably what sets The Wandering Earth apart from Hollywood﹣style space films．
"What is Chinese sci﹣fi？" Guo Fan， the film's director， said in an interview． "A vehicle that can really express our cultural and spiritual core can be called Chinese sci﹣fi． Otherwise， we're just imitating others and telling the same American 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．
（1）What is the difference between The Wandering Earth and Hollywood﹣style space films？　 　
A． A different and more ambitious idea．
B． Its Chinese makers．
C． The story with great imagination．
D． The specical cultural background．
（2）What does the underlined word ' abandoning ' mean in Chinese？　 　
A． 抛弃 B． 毁灭 C． 依赖 D． 索取
（3）The makers of this film choose Feb 5 to put on it probably because　 　．
A． it was the Spring Festival and many people have time to watch it
B． many old people want to return to their hometown then
C． it can cause many people's common feeling at this time
D． Chinese people usually celebrate together on that day
（4）What can we learn from the passage？　 　
A． This film was based on a short story by Chinese sci﹣fi writer Guo Fan．
B． This film tells us each of us should return to our hometown when we grow old．
C． We should protect the Earth because it is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun．
D． The director of this film thinks Chinese sci﹣fi should have our cultural and spiritual core．
12．In many﹣even most﹣space﹣themed films， whenever the earth faces a disaster（灾难）， the solution is always flying away from the planet in spaceships． But the latest Chinese sci﹣fi （科幻） movie， The Wandering Earth， offers a different and more ambitious idea．
In the film， which is based on a short story by Chinese sci﹣fi writer Liu Cixin， the earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun． As a result， humans around the world work together to build a large engine system that will push the earth away from the sun． Instead of giving up the earth﹣again﹣this time we're taking it with us．
This "ambition" didn't come from nowhere． For thousands of years， "homeland" has had a soft place in the hearts and minds of Chinese people． One old expression is luoyeguigen， which means returning to one's homeland in old age， like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree． It shows the close relationship that Chinese people have had with their homeland．
This special cultural background is probably what sets The Wandering Earth apart from Hollywood﹣style space films． "What is Chinese sci﹣fi？" Guo Fan， the film's director， said in an interview． "A vehicle that can really express our culture and spirit can be called Chinese sci﹣fi． Otherwise， we're just copying others and telling the same American stories．"
And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci﹣fi story． The film was performed 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． Almost everyone was moved by the movie． So to them， there is only one possible way to tell the story： The earth goes wherever humans go， because it's our home．
（1）What's the matter with the earth according to the passage？　 　
A． It is dying out．
B． It is too old to move．

C． It is Liu Cixin， the film's director who explained what Chinese sci﹣fi is．
D． People could watch the film on Feb 5， the first day of Chinese New Year
（4）Why are so many people moved by the movie？　 　
A． Because it tells us the earth goes wherever humans go， because it's our home．
B． Because it makes people learn much knowledge about the earth．
C． Because it copies others and tells the same American stories．
D． Because everyone can watch the movie without paying．

Characters： Buck﹣a dog Judge （法官） Miller﹣Buck's owner
Buck did not read the newspapers， or he would know that trouble was coming．
In fact， trouble was on its way for every strong dog with warm long hair． This was because men， going through the Arctic （北极的） darkness， had discovered a yellow metal﹣gold． And because shipping and transportation （运输） companies were advertising the discovery， thousands of men were rushing into the Northland． These men wanted heavy dogs， with strong muscles （肌肉） for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold．
Buck lived at Judge Miller's house in the sunny﹣kissed Santa Clara Valley． There were big stables （马厩）， long grape fields， fruit gardens and a big swimming pool． Buck ruled over the whole kingdom． Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life． He protected the Judge's sons and daughters on long midnight or early morning walks． On cold winter nights he lay at the Judge's feet in front of the warm library fire． He was king﹣king over everything， crawled （爬行的）， walked， or flew at Judge Miller's place， including humans．

On the night of Manuel's betrayal （背叛）， no one saw him and Buck go off through the fields． Buck imagined it to be a relaxing walk． They arrived at a little train． A man talked with Manuel and money passed between them． Manuel tied a piece of thick rope around Buck's neck． Buck accepted it quietly． To be sure， it was unwanted， but Buck had learned to trust men he knew． However， when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger's hands， he barked． Then the rope tightened （收紧） painfully， his tongue hanging out of his mouth． Then his strength disappeared， his eyes grew dim （浑浊）， and he knew nothing when the train pulled up． Two men threw him into the baggage car．

Who has Seen the wind？ by Christina Georgina Rossetti
Who has seen the wind？
Neither I nor you；
But when the leaves hang trembling
The wind is passing through．
Who has seen the wind？
Neither you nor I；
But when the trees bow down their heads
The wind passing by．
Night by William Blake
The sun descending in the west．
The evening star does shine；
The birds are silent in their nest．
And I must seek for mine．
The moon， like a flower，
In heaven's high bower
With silent delight
Sits and smiles on the night．
Natural scenes often become the themes of poetry． Poets watch nature closely and present（呈现） its beauty in their poems． For example， poets may describe natural scenes such as a spring day or a snowy day． Besides， poets often express their feelings about nature by creating lively images（形象） in poems．
With images， poets can describe the details（细节） of something colorfully． Readers， on the other hand， can connect their own experiences with the images in the poems so that they can share the poets' ideas． Now let's read the poem Who Has Seen the Wind？
When we read the lines "When the leaves hang trembling" and "When the trees bow down their heads"， they remind us of a windy day． The poet successfully creates an image of the wind by describing details of the scene． These help the readers think of the moment when the wind passes by． We might even bow our own heads， imagining that we are the trees．
In the poem Night， Blake describes many details of a night scene． People know very well what they can see at night， like stars or the moon． However， Blake sees more than just the moon itself； he sees the moon as a flower， smiling at us from up in the sky． So the moon is really compared to a flower and personified（拟人化） as a smiling person．

17． Do Encyclopedias Know Everything？

LONG BEFORE Wikipedia or Encyclopedia Britannica （《大英百科全书》）， there was Pliny the Elder． He was a first﹣century Roman researcher． His assistants （助理） read to him while he ate dinner and while he bathed． All the while， Pliny took notes． He even considered walking a waste of time． His assistants carried him around Rome in a chair while he read．
All of this was preparation for his Historia Naturalis （《博物志》）． The book was published in A．D． 77． It is considered the oldest surviving encyclopedia on Earth． There are 2，500 chapters． They cover everything from mice to Mars．
"No Roman author has completed such a project，" Pliny proudly announced． Unluckily， two years after publishing （出版） the encyclopedia， he died in a natural disaster．
Accidents can hardly be avoided （避免）． However， they can be recorded． Editors of encyclopedias， like Pliny， organize the knowledge of our world． Like a valuable gift， the books pass through the ages． They begin their lives as a tool and end them as a historical record．
Therefore， in my opinion， an encyclopedia is not just a record of what its editors know． It's also a record of what they don't know．
Pliny was wrong when he said there were seven planets， including the Sun and the Moon． He was wrong， too， when he said Africans were black from being burnt by the Sun． After all， Historia Naturalis is a book edited by a Roman thousands of years ago． These were all he truly knew．
Similarly， both Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica have some incorrect information． Even the biggest encyclopedias only represent what their editors know．
"The task of editing an encyclopedia can never be completed，" said Roger Lewinter， an American researcher． Encyclopedias can't record all of the human knowledge but just some of it． They are always waiting for someone ﹣ you， perhaps ﹣ to improve them．
（1）According to the article， before Pliny the Elder completed his Historia Naturalis，　 　．
A． Nobody had considered walking a waste of time
B． There was no encyclopedia on Earth
C． Nobody knew what Mars was
D． No Roman author had completed an encyclopedia
（2）When did Pliny die in a natural disaster？　 　
A． In A．D． 79． B． In A．D． 77．
C． In A．D． 75． D． In 77B．C．
（3）Which of the following statements would the author agree to？　 　
A． We should destroy Pliny's encyclopedia because it contains too many mistakes．
B． Modern encyclopedias ﹣ such as Wikipedia ﹣ have fewer mistakes．
C． In the biggest encyclopedia， we can find all of the human knowledge．
D． In all encyclopedias， there is some inaccurate information．
（4）The author expects his readers to　 　．
A． find all the mistakes in Historia Naturalis
B． improve an encyclopedia
C． complete the task of editing an encyclopedia
D． take a look at the world's biggest encyclopedias
18．Still remember the following poems（诗歌）？ Memories（回忆） come back every time I read or hear them．
① Hush now， my little one．
Hush now， my sunshine．
Hush now， piece of my heart．
Go to sleep， my little one．
Go to sleep， my love．
Go to sleep， piece of my heart．
Sleep， my little one，
When I sing to you．
Sleep， my little one，
The sun is already asleep，
The moon and stars come． ②
My mama feeds me，
And washes my fur．
The first thing I see
every morning is her．
The last thing I kiss
every night is her face．
My mama is the very best one，
And sings like a bird，
And knows how I feel．
When I don't say a word，
My mama is warm． ③
I can clean the table．
I can sweep the floor．
I can wash my clothes，
And count to forty﹣four．
I can wash bowls and plates，
And clean my bedroom．
There is so much I can do．
Now ask you．
1．feed v． 喂养 2． fur n．皮毛 3． kiss v．亲吻 4． sweep v．打扫 5． count v．数数
（1）When do people usually sing the first poem？

Tramper could feel the stony road through the holes in his boots．A newspaper blew by．Tramper picked it up and sat down to cover the holes in his boots with the paper．
A weak old lady stared at him．
"You think you have shoe troubles!" she said．"The King has 12 girls and all of them have holes in their slippers!"
The old lady's feet were bare（光脚的 ），cut and purple from the cold．Tramper felt sorry for her，so he gave her his shabby（破旧的）boots．To thank him，she gave Tramper her dirty cloak（斗篷）．As she walked away down the road，she called，"Stay awake．Drink no drop．Sip no sup．Taste no cup．"
"A strange way to say goodbye，" thought Tramper．

WANTED： Answer to the Mystery（神秘）of the Worn Slippers． REWARD： Princess' hand in marriage．
SNAG： All those who fail will be locked up．
"Why not？" thought Tramper．"I bet I could solve the mystery．I've got nothing to lose．I don't even have any boots．" And when he looked down，his feet were gone too．His feet，legs and body had gone．He was invisible．"The cloak is magic!" he said．
The king's 12daughters were a mystery．Each night they took off their silk slippers and went to bed．But each morning their silk slippers were full of holes，and the girls were tired out．
