I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. In the end ,I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?” Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?” I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!” “He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.” “He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance (坚忍不拔的), by pushing on steadily.” Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.” I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless. 【1】The writer argued with his son because ______________.

Earthworms (蚯蚓) often lay on sidewalks or streets after a heavy spring rain, but why do they do this? Researchers give several reasons why heavy rain storms bring earthworms out of their soil homes. For years scientists seemed to think the only reason earthworms came to the soil surface after a good rain was to prevent drowning in their water-filled homes. “This is not true as earthworms breathe through their skins and actually require wet in the soil to do so,” said Dr. Chris Lowe, lecturer in the University of Central Lancashire in Preston, United Kingdom. Earthworms are unable to drown, and they can even survive several days fully in water. Soil experts now think earthworms surface during rain storms for the purpose of moving to another place. “It gives them a chance to move greater distances across the soil surface than through soil,” said Dr. Lowe. “They cannot do this when it is dry because of their requirements of wet in the air. "Certain earthworms surface to mate (交配), but only a few of the 4, 400 existing types, making it unlikely that mating is a primary reason for widespread surfacing. Another explanation is that rain drop vibrations (振动) on the soil surface are similar to mole (鼹鼠) vibrations. Earthworms often come to the surface to escape them. “Rain can set up vibrations on top of the soil like mole vibrations,” said Professor Josef Gorres of the University of Vermont’s Department of Plant and Soil Science. “Similar to how earthworms move upwards when mole vibrations are felt.” Similarly, humans create vibrations when catching earthworms. To cheat earthworms out of their homes, fishermen run a piece of steel or a saw across the top of a stick, which causes a sound as the stick vibrates. Earthworms then move to the surface, much to the fishermen’s delight. 【1】What do we know about earthworms from Paragraph 2? A. They will drown in water. B. They can’t breathe in the rain. C. They breathe through skins. D. They can always live in water. 【2】Why do earthworms surface when it rains according to Dr. Lowe? A. Because they want to travel longer. B. Because there is more water inside. C. Because there are more suitable mates. D. Because there are fewer dangers on the ground. 【3】Why does the author mention the fishermen in the last paragraph? A. To show that they treat earthworms badly. B. To provide evidence of earthworms escaping. C. To explain why we seldom see earthworms now. D. To show how people's behavior affects earthworms. 【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Why earthworms surface after rain. B. All knowledge about earthworms. C. How earthworms help people. D. Why people love earthworms. |

The sun is going to expand into the orbit of Mercury according to scientific calculations, which will result in the entire Earth catching on fire. Who will save the world? This imaginative tale is at the heart of the latest Chinese sci-fi movie The Wandering Earth. Unlike many American space-themed films where the solution to a disaster Earth faces is always fleeing (逃离) the planet in spaceships, this time we’re taking the Earth with us. The film, which has made it 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 (核心) 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, 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】The main purpose of the opening paragraph is to ________. A. give a brief account of the film B. warn people of the coming threat C. explore ways to avoid the disaster D. introduce the topic of the passage 【2】The underlined phrase “a different and more ambitious idea” refers 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 unlikely to account for (解释) the success of the film? A. The rich imagination of the story. B. Hollywood-style space stores. C. The special cultural background. D. The time chosen to release the film. 【4】What is likely to be title for the passage? A. Chinese Sci-fi Catches Up B. The makers of Chinese Sci-fi C. Chinese Sci-fi Sets a New Path D. Chinese Sci-fi Challenges Hollywood |
