A Bite of China is a serious documentary providing a unique view of Chinese as well as the relations between people and food and between people and society from the perspective of food.
The touching documentary reminds some people of their mother, and makes some realize that every grain comes from hard work. Some people see patriotism (爱国主义) in the documentary, and some consider it a great cultural export.
“It is not empty propaganda (宣传) about China’s splendid food culture. Instead, it shows the techniques used in making food and their production process as well as the lives of ordinary people, thus striking a chord (共鸣) with the audience, ”an Internet user said. The success of the documentary should be attributed to sincerity and reality.
It is said sarcastically that Americans like to shoot sci-fi films because they have no history, while Chinese like to shoot time-travel dramas to the past because they have no future. It has set people thinking. Works that are created behind closed doors and fail to reflect reality or that only focus on the luxury lives of a few people and ignore ordinary people’s desire for enough food and clothing will not touch people’s hearts, and they will be no use whether traveling to the past or the future.
A Bite of China shows that a commercial documentary promoting patriotism can be full of touching details, that the emotions of ordinary Chinese people should be exhibited even in publicizing China overseas, and that even a completely commercial program can achieve both artistic and commercial success.
“We made this documentary with our respect and love for food, ”said director Chen Xiaoqing. Being sincere is the most important thing for artists because they cannot move others unless they themselves are first moved, and cannot convince others unless they themselves are first convinced. Sincerity is the “secret” for making this documentary so popular, and every cultural creator should learn from its success.
1.What is not the feature of A Bite of China from Paragraphs 1 and 2?
A. Showing relations between people and food and between people and society.
B. Making people realize every grain comes from hard work.
C. Not only providing delicious food but also making people see patriotism.
D. Touching many mothers who can do some cooking.
2.How was Paragraph 4 written?
A. Giving an example. B. Comparing.
C. Narrating. D. Introducing.
3.What’s the secret for making this documentary so popular and successful?
A. Beauty. B. Delicious taste.
C. Interest. D. Sincerity.
4.What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Why is A Bite of China so popular?
B. Why is A Bite of China made into a film?
C. The process of making A Bite of China.
D. A Bite of China witnesses patriotism.

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
A foreign degree was once believed to be a sure path to a well-paid job. However, more and more graduates have found that this is not necessarily true.
The number of Chinese studying abroad grew at a slower rate in 2018 compared with 2017, according to a recent report released by the Ministry of Education. In 2018, 662,100 Chinese went abroad to study, up 8.83 percent from a year earlier, while the growth rate was 11.7 percent in 2017.
A major reason for the slower growth is that more and more students have realized that overseas study does not necessarily guarantee a well-paid job, reported China Daily.
According to a 2018 report by the Center for China and Globalization (CCG), about a third of graduate returnees to China earn less than 6,000 yuan a month, while 25 percent make between 6,000 and 8,000 yuan a month.
For example, Lucy Liu, a woman from Beijing, was disappointed after being interviewed by a famous film studio in Beijing. She had just finished her postgraduate (研究生) studies in documentary production at New York University in the United States.
“The pay would be 150,000 yuan for one documentary, and at best I could finish one documentary a year,” Liu told South China Morning Post.
“After spending so much on my studies, I couldn’t accept that pay,” said Liu. She spent about 1 million yuan in tuition and living expenses while studying abroad.
Worse still, it takes over four months for over 50 percent of returned students to land a job, and only 20 percent get job offers before graduation, according to Qi Bin, from Haiwei Career Services, a company that specializes in employment for returnees.
Two major reasons are that they often miss the main job-seeking season while they’re abroad and they lack internship experience, Qi told China Daily.
However, this doesn’t mean studying overseas is useless.
On the contrary, it may provide students with good language and communication skills, an independent character and a global mindset, which are important for their career development, according to Qi.
“Studying overseas cannot guarantee everything, but foreign-educated students have great potential, and at some point their break will come,” Li Qing, a researcher from CCG, told the South China Morning Post.
1.What does the report by the Ministry of Education tell us?
A.Fewer students returned to China after studying overseas in 2018.
B.The growth of Chinese students studying abroad slowed in 2018.
C.Fewer Chinese students went to foreign universities in 2018.
D.More Chinese students found good jobs after studying abroad in 2018.
2.The example of Lucy Liu proves mainly that ______.
A.an overseas degree doesn’t guarantee a good salary
B.the cost of studying abroad is too great for an ordinary family
C.foreign-educated students earn less than those who studied at home
D.it takes a long time to produce a good documentary
3.What does Qi Bin think of studying abroad?
A.It is a waste of students’ time and money.
B.It gives students better internship chances.
C.It limits the possibility of students’ getting jobs that interest them.
D.It provides students with useful skills for their career development.
4.How does Li Qing feel about the future of foreign-educated students?
A.Worried. B.Unsure. C.Positive. D.Challenged.

Earlier this year, China achieved a new milestone in space exploration. On Jan. 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. The whole process of landing lasted 12 minutes, which opened a new page in history of mankind’s space exploration.
The far side of the moon is the side that we can not see. We don’t know much about it. This landing is of great importance. The far side of the moon is an ideal place for scientific research. It may have unique minerals (矿物质）and other resources. Scientists can make clearer observations of deep space from there.
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 collected from these experiments could be used to help us build a base 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 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. China’s first Mars mission is expected to be carried out by 2020.
