Tiangong -- 1(or.Heavenly Palace)space module(舱)is the first step toward China’s plan to build a space station around 2020.Its launch(发射)by China has upset some countries,which are asking why China did not add on to the International Space Station that has been in place since 1998. After all, the Americans,Russians,Europeans and Japanese are using one platform to experiment in space.
Questions have also been asked about China’s final purpose in space and suggestions made that there is something as unpleasant as the theme in a James Bond movie,in which Chinese-looking enemies were at the root of some evil(邪恶的)plot to control the world.
Chinese don’t see themselves that way, and never in history have they been flag-planting settlers.Most Westerners are educated in the adventures of the great European explorers,headed by Christopher Columbus and James Cook,and followed closely by the groups of culture egotists(自大者)with a mix of guns,gold and the Bible in their hands.
In comparison,Zheng He,the great Chinese sailing master,took groups of ships to Africa and the Middle East to promote goodwill, with gifts of chinaware and art.No flags claiming(宣称) possession of distant areas.But this is strange to Western society.
In this century,it is clear that space cannot be claimed by one nation.Yet advantage of technology in space does seem to be on some minds.Former US president Ronald Reagan caused shocks and worries with his Star Wars program.So when China shot down its own satellite as a test in January 2010 there were anxieties in the West about Star Wars 1ike scenario(剧本)becoming reality in the near future.
1.The launch of Tiangong -- 1 __________.
A. is appreciated by countries like the USA and Japan
B. will bring trouble to the western countries in space
C. is part of China’s plan to set up a station in space
D. will help China be a member of the Space Station

B. to compare him to the great European explorers like Columbus
C. to indicate that he is the pride of the Chinese people
D. to show that the Chinese people are as great as other peoples

From the first use of the rocket to carry satellites into space to the setting up of space stations,human beings have achieved many successes.But there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not stop trying to progress.
The international space station is an important step we should take in space exploration.It is not only helpful but also necessary.It provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time.It is also a base for observing the earth and the universe.It could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and Mars.In a word,if we want to explore space more,the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.
As the space station costs a lot of money,it is hard for one country alone to establish one.The US seems to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone,and it has tried to do so,but not very successful.So it aggregated many other countries to work on it together.Though it is still extremely expensive,it is much cheaper than doing it alone.It is really a job that needs everyone’s effort and will benefit everyone.
But even so,the funds (资金) needed are still a big problem.As for the US,it seems that it has too many things to spend its money on.Although it is the richest country in the world,it has much debt every year.It has to try to find a balance in all these issues.
1.What is the author’s attitude towards building and developing the international space station?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful.
C. Worried. D. Reserved.
2.From Paragraph 2 we can learn that ______________.
A. the necessity of building the international space station is not realized now
B. many experiments have been done in the international space station
C. the international space station is necessary for people to explore space further
D. people have travelled to Mars from the international space station
3.Which of the following is NOT a reason for countries’cooperation in building the international space station?
A. It will benefit every participating country.
B. No country is able to build it alone.
C. It needs everyone’s effort.
D. It requires a lot of money.
4.All the following aspects about building the international space station are mentioned EXCEPT ______________.
A. difficulties B. cost
C. importance D. waste

China has entered the cinematic(电影制作的) space race. Wandering Earth, the country’s first blockbuster science fiction film, is on track to be one of the highest grossing (票房收入) films in China’s history.
The film has brought in more than 2bn yuan (£232m) in the six days since its release on February 5. So far, it is the highest-grossing film released over the holiday season, a peak time for the Chinese box office(票房收入).
Wandering Earth is based on the work of Liu Cixin, the author of the Three-Body Problem series and the first Chinese author to win a Hugo award.
“Wandering Earth fills the gap in Chinese science fiction movies. It means that China’s science fiction movies have officially set sail,” one fan of the film wrote on the review site Douban.
The film is seen by some as the dawn of Chinese sci-fi — a genre(类型;体裁) that has long been led by Hollywood. Several other Chinese-made sci-fi films are due to debut (首映) this year, including Shanghai Fortress, about an alien invasion, and Pathfinder, which follows a spaceship that has crashed on a deserted planet.
Frant Gwo, the director of Wandering Earth, said, “2019 could be remembered as year zero of Chinese science-fiction blockbusters. It is not just about one successful movie but about multiple films.”
Critics of the film have pointed out the plot holes(剧情漏洞) and cloying of sentimentality(刻意煽情) — something Wandering Earth shares with its Hollywood peers.
In response to plot criticisms about the necessity of ejecting (喷射) Earth from the solar system, Liu said: “Of course we don’t need to escape soon. That’s why it’s a movie instead of a real-life crisis.”
1.What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word?
A.非常成功的事物 B.非常成功的人
C.外星人 D.英雄人物
2.What is the fan’s attitude toward the film according to Paragraph 4?
A.Doubtful. B.Negative.
C.Positive D.Uncaring.
3.Which of the following does not belong to Chinese-made sci-fi film?
A.Shanghai Fortress B.Wandering Earth
C.Pathfinder D.Avatar
4.Which aspect do the critics think is a shortcoming of the film?
A.The theory. B.The ending.
C.The special effects. D.The plot holes.

A Spanish company Siesta&Go has opened the first public napping (小睡) space in Madrid. It promises people a quiet rest in the middle of the city’s business center.
Napping spaces are nothing new; places to rest are already set up in other big cities in the world. But the idea would appear to work well with the culture of Spain, where people traditionally take an afternoon nap, called siesta.
The Madrid nap space recently opened with 19 beds. People can use them by the minute or by the hour, and they can also choose either a private or shared room. An hour of napping inside a private room costs about $15.
Siesta &Go provides all bedding, clean nightshirts and other materials. Nippers can request to be woken up when their time is up. It also offers areas to work, with armchairs, newspapers and coffee for those not wishing to sleep.
Philip &Go is one happy customer. Marco says he gets tired during the day because of hard work. He says a siesta is the perfect way to build up energy. “I come for about 30 minutes or something like that. That is usually enough for me to be full of energy.”
While many Spanish people love their naps, others like Carlos Villarroja say they are just too busy to keep the tradition. “It’s a Spanish tradition, but I think it’s more of a legend (传说) than a tradition. Because of the lifestyle and the working hours, we have very little free time for a siesta at least during the week.”
But many health experts believe there is evidence that taking a short nap can be very good for the body and mind. Scientific studies show that taking a siesta can also prevent illness and lower blood pressure.
1.What is not allowed for customers to do?
A. Sleep for free B. Choose a private room
C. Use it as an office D. Share a room with others
2.What does Philip Marco think of the Madrid nap space?
A. Costly. B. Helpful.
C. Comfortable. D. Convenient
3.What’s Carlos Villarroja’s opinion on siestas?
A. It is not necessary to take a nap.
B. They can treat high blood pleasure.
C. People have no time to take a nap.
D. It’s not true that Spanish people like naps.
