24、 What can we do whenever Earth faces a disaster? Is the only solution running away from the planet in spaceships? The latest Chinese sci-fi (科幻) movie, The Wandering Earth, offers a different and more ambitious (有雄心的) idea.
The film is based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin. In the film, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun. Humans around the world work together to build a giant engine system that will push Earth away from the sun. We're taking the Earth with us to run away.
What makes The Wandering Earth different from Hollywood-style space films? It’s probably the special cultural background (背景). For many years, “homeland” has rooted (生根) in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old saying is luoyeguigen. It means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree. There are also many ancient poems about homeland. “The season called the White Dew begins tonight / Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright”. These all show that Chinese people have the tight bond (情感纽带) with their homeland.
What is Chinese sci-fi? Guo Fan, the film’s director said, “Chinese sci-fi is a way to express our cultural and spiritual core (精神内核). Otherwise (否则), we’re just imitating (模仿) others and telling the same American stories.” And the film was released on February 5, 2019, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. It seems the best time to tell this Chinese sci-fi story. Anyway, to us Chinese, Earth goes wherever humans go, because it’s our home.
【1】Why do people consider the film so ambitious?
A.Because humans work together to build a giant engine system.
B.Because humans are trying to take the Earth to run away together.
C.Because the film story is written by the famous writer Liu Cixin.
D.Because people have managed to run away from Earth in spaceships.
【2】Why does the writer use the old saying and ancient poems in this passage?
A.To tell the difference between Chinese and American.
B.To remind us of China’s many years of history.
C.To teach some Chinese traditional cultures and spirits.
D.To express Chinese people’s love of their homeland.
【3】What does the underlined sentences mean? ____________.
A.明月几时有,把酒问青天 B.露从今夜白,月是故乡明
C.举杯邀明月,对影成三人 D.床前明月光,疑是地上霜
【4】What makes The Wandering Earth different from Hollywood-style sci-fi?
A.Its fantastic pictures and settings. B.Imitating foreign sci-fi films.
C.Its Chinese cultures and spirits. D.Its creative and brave idea.
【5】What’s the best title for the passage?
A.The Latest Chinese Sci-fi Film B.What is Chinese Sci-fi?
C.Chinese Sci-fi Sets a New Path D.Chinese Sci-fi VS Hollywood-style

26、 Robots are increasingly being developed to think and act like humans. But it is difficult for engineers to create humor (幽默) in machines. Computer scientists have hoped to help them understand humor. But they failed again and again. Why is it so difficult?
Kiki, a computer language expert (专家), studies humor at a university. “Most robots are powered by artificial intelligence (人工智能AI). But AI will never understand jokes like humans do.” He said, “The main problem is that AI system doesn’t have the sense of humor.”
Other experts agree that context (语境) is very important to understand humor, both for humans and robots. In one project, Tristan Miller, a computer scientist, studied more than 10, 000 puns. Puns are a kind of joke that uses a word with two meanings. For example, you could say, “Balloons (气球) do not like pop music.” The word “pop” can be a way of saying popular music, or “pop” can be the sound a balloon makes when it explodes (爆炸). “A robot might not understand the joke because it doesn’t know the meaning of the puns.” Miller said.
Although it’s difficult, some scientists say there are good reasons to keep trying to teach humor to robots. It can make machines understand humans better and serve humans better. And it can also help them to think more like humans.
But other scientists don’t think it’s a good idea to teach humor to robots. They may find humor, but they may use it in a wrong way. Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks it is funny. Besides, it may make some people feel not safe. The comedians (喜剧演员) may lose their jobs when the robots can understand humor.
【1】Kiki is an expert who studies ______ at a university.
A. humans B. humor C. AI system D. robots
【2】What does the underlined word "pun" mean in Paragraph 3?
A. 语言 B. 笑话 C. 双关语 D. 同义词
【3】From the passage, we know that ______.
A. AI system has the sense of humor
B. context is very important to understand humor only for humans
C. if robots understand humor, they can’t serve humans better
D. some scientist think it’s good to teach robots humor but others don’t
【4】If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?

27、Believe it or not, humans have been in debt(负债) to the Earth Overshoot Day this month. The Earth Overshoot Day fell on August 8th. As of that day, we have used as much from nature in 2016 as our planet can provide in a whole year. In other words, we have run out of this year’s “ecological budget”, and for the rest of the year we’ll be eating into our “savings”.
Global Footprint Network has been watching the Earth Overshoot Day since 1971. This year, the day came five days earlier than it did last year (Aug. 13th), 11 days earlier that the year before (Aug, 19th) and is the earliest date yet.
Global Footprint Network said that humans now use 1.6 Earths worth of crops, forest, livestock, energy and other resources (资源) every year. By the 2030s we will be using more than two Earth’s worth of resources every year. The situation is more and more serious and the world needs to find better balance in how to use the Earth’s resources.
Overshoot Day is a red light warning of trouble ahead. “That is, we’re using up what our planet does for us, so year after year, there is less for us to use,” Stuart Pimm, an American professor of ecology, explained. “Less forest, fewer fish in the ocean, less productive land.” Two of the main causes are over-population and pollution.
Small actions make a big difference and all of us play an important role in creating a better world where we live. Even a few simple changes around our home can reduce the resource that we waste, from taking a shower instead of a bath, to using our own reusable bags at the store instead of ones that are made of plastics. In this way we can reduce waste and pollution. Let’s start today to live greener in no time.
【1】What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. The Earth Overshoot Day is coming earlier and earlier.
B. The Earth Overshoot Day falls on Aug. 19th.
C. Humans will have to spend more money for the rest of the year.
D. Humans have used as many resources this year as we did last year.
【2】According to the Global Footprint Network, which of the following is true?
A. By the 2030s there will be no resources left on Earth.
B. Humans need to find better ways to use resources properly.
C. Humans use more than 1.6 Earths worth of resources every year.
D. Aug. 13th is the earliest date of the Earth Overshoot Day since 1971.
【3】Which one can’t help us reduce the resource that we waste?
A. take a shower. B. take a bath.
C. use the reusable bags. D. recycle the waste water.
【4】What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Living a Saving life B. Aug. 8th—an Important Day
C. Small Actions make a Big Difference D. Eating up Our Planet
