1、阅读理解
Shortly after its opening on the first day of Chinese New Year, The Wandering Earth began to gain momentum (展现强劲势头). In a little over a week, it made 2.8 billion yuan in the domestic market alone. The film's popularity and success has come as a surprise to many reviewers especially since there hasn't been that much success for Chinese-produced science fiction in the past. Many agree that this film will change the embarrassing situation and bring in a new age for Chinese science fiction.
As a genre (类型), Chinese science fiction has lagged behind general fiction in both the film and publishing industries. Even Liu Cixin's (the author who wrote the short story on which The Wandering Earth is based) The Three Body Problem —which is currently quite popular — didn't have many readers until it was translated into English and won the Hugo Award (雨果奖) in 2015. Personally, I haven't read much of any genre written in Chinese, but I do notice that there aren't many separate sections of the bookstore dedicated to science fiction. I cannot speak for everyone, but some people seem to have misunderstandings regarding the genre.
My parents were the type who tried to steer me in the direction of non-fiction and the classics. They believed that science fiction and fantasy were "unrealistic nonsense" and would "rot my brain." Actually, great science fiction writers do their research. More often than not, one can learn a great deal about science and its possible development from reading science fiction. Sure, some of the concepts may be confusing or technical in nature, but that is also part of the appeal. Things like the internet, electric cars and tablet computers were first theorized (建立理论) in science fiction before they were invented. The author simply uses a combination of science and their imagination to create worlds different from the Earth of today, from which we can get bits and pieces that can be turned into a reality.
The world is changing. There may very well be a time when Earth is no longer able to sustain the entire population. We could be living on Mars or in giant spaceships; perhaps we will be forced to move Earth to a new solar system just like The Wandering Earth. Each of these scenarios has appeared in science fiction multiple times. If we are to be prepared for what is to come, we can look into modern science fiction for a window into the future.
(1)、According to the article, which of the following statements about The Wandering Earth is NOT true?A、Critics did not expect too much of the film before its release. B、It is the first time that Chinese science fiction has succeed in the film industry. C、The film was adapted from a short story in Liu Cixin's The Three Body Problem. D、In the future we might be faced with similar crises to the one described in the movie.(2)、We can learn from the article that the author ____.A、has little interest in science fiction B、has never read Chinese science fiction C、was not allowed to read science fiction by his parents D、has not been prepared for the future development of science and technology.(3)、Paragraph 3 mainly focuses on ____.A、the practical significance of science fiction B、real technologies inspired by science fiction C、people's misunderstandings about science fiction D、imaginary worlds created by science fiction writers(4)、What does the underlined word "scenarios" in the last paragraph probably mean?A、strategies B、proposals C、ideas D、pictures -

13、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Every October, my neighborhood has a Halloween costume contest, And every time, my neighbor Ollie and I would race to the announcement board in the park to find out the theme.
One year, the theme was "Dress up as your favorite book character". Another year, it was "Be something scary". But this year, the theme was kind of, well, themeless. The board wrote "Be creative". It was told that the judge would prefer something original. When I examined the paper on the announcement board, I was totally confused, since it was not really a theme. Ollie hopped off his skateboard to get a closer look. "You're right," he agreed.
"Since we don't know exactly what we want to be yet, we should start by choosing some cool costume-making materials," Ollie instantly scooped up a bunch of fallen leaves from the oak and proposed using leaves. It seemed impossible to make an entire costume out of leaves, Not to mention these terrible-looking yellow leaves. However, Ollie scooped up some more and try to persuade me, "They're totally free and I can guarantee, no one will be a tree as great as me," "Don't you mean, a tree as great as we?" I grinned, We ended up filling two jumbo bags with different leaves. Ollie's grandma, Abuela helped get us set up with tons of excellent costume-making supplies, We tried on part of our costumes, making the "branches" by gluing (粘) the leaves to our arms. We could tell the "trees" really would be tremendous, On the morning of the contest day, it took us hours to get ready, and we probably lost half our leaves shuffling over to the park. Still, when it was time for contestants (参赛者) to line up in the judging area, I felt pretty proud.

When astronauts land on Mars, a couple of decades from now, perhaps, they'll need to find a way to communicate-with each other, with equipment on and around the planet, and with mission control back on Earth. Despite living so far from home, they'll no doubt want to connect with loved ones, or stream their favorite shows or music.
But setting up a Wi-Fi connection to Earth's internet won't be a choice. Earth is simply too far away—around 55 million to 400 million kilometers, depending on where the planets are in their orbits. We will need another strategy.
Establishing good communication equipment is essential for human missions to Mars. Researchers are testing ways to upgrade existing networks, along with some far-out alternatives. For example, NASA's Psyche mission, which lifted off in October with the job of exploring an asteroid (小行星) between Mars and Jupiter, will also test the communication using lasers. Lasers could carry far more data than the radio waves that have been used from the earliest days of space travel.
There is no strategy which can get rid of the time lag in communications between Earth and Mars; a message moving at the speed of light takes anywhere between 4 and 24 minutes for a one-way trip. In other words, a quick ping to mission control is out of the question, not to mention a WhatsApp call home.
There's also the issue of solar conjunction (聚合), says Parfitt, when the sun comes between Earth and Mars. This happens for a couple of weeks every two years or so, cutting off communications between the planets. The last one took place in November.
But new approaches could open possibilities that make communications on Mars more like what we experience here on Earth. At least one research team has wondered: What if Mars had its own internet?
(1)、 What discourages Mars to have a net connection to Earth?A、The Earth is too far to reach. B、The Earth is hard to identify. C、The current strategy doesn't work well. D、Many planets are blocking the signals.(2)、 What writing skill is used in paragraph 3?A、Raising a question. B、Giving an example. C、Listing numbers. D、Comparing facts.(3)、What do we know about the communications between Earth and Mars?A、Laser carries less data than the radio waves. B、There is no such thing as time lag. C、It takes only four minutes for a single trip. D、The process could sometimes be cut off.(4)、 What is going to be talked about in the following paragraph?A、The possible mission of the astronauts on Mars. B、The communication among the astronauts on Mars. C、The possibility for Mars to have its own network. D、The opinions given by experienced astronomers. -

Every order of takeout comes with a side of single-use plastics and each plastic fork. knife, spoon and straw-whether or not you wanted it or used it-ends up in the trash.
New research found that 139 million metric tons of single-use plastic waste was generated in 2021-six million metric tons more single-use plastics compared to
2019. A hunger for takeout meals during the pandemic contributed to the surge.
An estimated 60% of Americans order takeout or delivery at least once a week and online ordering is growing 300% faster than in-house dining; that means millions of single-use plastic utensils (餐具) are going out with every order.
New laws aim to address the problem. Some of the recent bills are thanks to The National Reuse Network, part of the environmental nonprofit Upstream, which launched a national Skip the Stuff campaign to work out policies that require restaurants to include single-use plastic utensils, straws, and napkins only when customers request them.
The bills also require meal delivery and online apps like Uber Eats, GrubHub and Door Dash to add single-use extras to their menus; customers can choose the items and quantities to have them included in the order. Customers that don't order the single-use plastics won't receive them. The goal of the bills is to reduce the 40 billion plastic utensils sent to the landfill (垃圾填埋场) every year.
"Most of the time, people are taking food home or to their offices where there are reusable utensils so these utensils wind up in a drawer or get thrown out," says Alexis Goldsmith, national organizing director for a nationwide project Beyond Plastics. "Some people do need utensils, but for the most part, they're not needed."
To date, Skip the Stuff bills have been passed in several cities, including Denver, Washington, D.C. and Chicago, California and Washington state passed statewide bills that make single-use plastic "accessories" available with takeout orders only upon request.
Organizations like Upstream, Beyond plastics and NRDC have created toolkits to help additional communities launch their own Skip the Stuff campaigns.
(1)、What does the underlined word "surge" in paragraph 2 probably mean?A、Great desire. B、Sharp decline. C、Rapid increase. D、Obvious panic.(2)、According to the Skip the Stuff campaign, what can be done by restaurants?A、Choosing green products. B、Adding single-use napkins. C、Recycling and reusing utensils. D、Providing utensils only on request.(3)、 What's the purpose of the recent new bills?A、To reduce plastic waste. B、To stop bad eating habits. C、To encourage people to eat out. D、To better the dining environment.(4)、What would Goldsmith probably think of the Skip the Stuff campaign?A、Unimportant. B、Damaging. C、Much-needed. D、Well-known. -
