高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

China was a latecomer to space exploration, and in the movies, it has been a latecomer to science fiction, too. That is about to change. The country's first blockbuster (大片)set in space, The Wandering Earth, opens Tuesday with great expectations that it will represent the dawning of a new age in Chinese filmmaking. The film also opens with the Lunar New Year, the beginning of an official，weeklong holiday that is traditionally a peak box-office period in China. It has a limited show in the United States, Canada，Australia and New Zealand.

The Wandering Earth, shown in 3-D, takes place in a distant future in which the sun is about to expand into a red giant and destroy the Earth. The approaching danger forces the world’s engineers to make a plan to move the planet to a new solar system using giant thrusters (推进器).Things go very badly when the Earth has to pass the Jupiter, setting off desperate disturbance to save humanity from ruin.

The film comes as China reached a milestone(里程碑)in space : the landing of a probe (探测器)on the far side of the moon in January. Although decades behind Russia and the United States, China has now put astronauts in orbit and has ambitious plans to join or even lead a new age of space exploration.

''I think there is a very close connection between Chinese cinema and the nation's fortunes,'' said Sha Dan, a leader at the China Film Archive, ''When we have the ability to rescue our people abroad, we can make movies like Operation Red Sea. Only when China can enter the space age can we make works like The Wandering Earth. ''

The Wandering Earth takes for granted China's central role in future space exploration，but it also has a vision of the international teamwork necessary to deal with the threats facing the planet, a theme that runs deeply through the film.

1.What does the author think of The Wandering Earth?

A.It is a success in science-fiction films.

B.It is a hit in the oversea film markets.

C.It is the beginning of Chinese filmmaking.

D.It is only a present for the Lunar New Year.

2.What causes the Earth to wander in space?

A.A new solar system.

B.A new planet like the Earth.

C.The expanding sun in a distant future.

D.A deadly disease for people on the Earth.

3.What is reflected throughout The Wandering Earth?

A.The importance of heroes.

B.The threats from explorations.

C.The nation's power of China.

D.The international cooperation.

The desire to make explorations is born with man. Wherever his imagination goes, man also has a strong wish to go. A large part human history is connected with the exploration of the world in which we live. Again and again people have set out with surprising courage and patience to look into unknown regions and lands to see what had not yet been seen, to make known the unknown. With kites, balloons and aircraft they left the ground to pass through the lower atmosphere. Now the outer space receives their attention.

Why should man take the trouble of conquering space? It is hard to list the specific practical benefits that will result in. But one knows, from past experience in other areas, that man will surely see and discover new things in space that will increase our scientific knowledge, and this new knowledge will find its way into valuable practical uses. What we learn about man himself, from his experience in space, and from the effects of space and the space flight environment on him, will be extremely valuable. The new techniques developed to carry out the exploration of space, and to keep man alive in space, will certainly find practical uses in everyday life in some way. The areas that will benefit are manifold. They include communication, generation of power, transportation and travel, food production, materials, fuels and many others. But to say definitely just what the practical results will be is almost impossible.

A professor I have worked pretty closely with has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. It has been devastating(悲惨的) for his family and heartbreaking for his students.

What made him extraordinary was not only that he was a rising star. He had only recently collected the highest honors for young researchers at the White House. We truly admire him—as someone put it, ‘He always has a smile and a kind word for everyone.” It is very hard to find someone who is extremely intelligent should be so nice a human being.

I decided that we needed him to know our attitude and also how we are all praying for his recovery. I bought him a simple card which read, ‘Healing thoughts and wishes coming your way.” I met all the students he worked closely with and got them to sign on it. Each student in his laboratory signed and also added a message. ‘We love you so much”, ‘We miss you! We need you back here—recover soon”… These were some of the messages that were written. Most of the students were really glad we were doing this and said it was a very good idea to give it to him.

He is still undergoing intense treatment, and along with his family is trying his best to stay optimistic and hopeful. I didn’t see a trace of self-pity or sadness when I met him last week. Instead, he paid attention to every word of my presentation and asked me several questions related to my work. I was amazed at how much he gave his 100% on that day in spite of being in pain because of chemotherapy( 化疗)，he did not know if he even had another month to live. “I am trying to focus on staying positive, hoping to be back this summer,” he said.

Needless to say, I saw an expression of joy and hope on his face as he opened the card. He said he was truly touched to see the messages from the students he worked closely with.

There is one thing I learnt from last week: It is so important to tell people how much they mean to us and what an inspiration they are before it becomes too late. My professor, in spite of being too sick to teach classes, has managed to continue being a great teacher, introducing his last valuable message to us.

1.The professor was admired because _______.

A. he was very intelligent            B. he had won many honors

2.What do the underlined words “our attitude” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Our worry about his health.        B. Our pray for his health.

C. Our admiration for him.          D. Our pity for him.

3. When the writer visited the professor at hospital, what surprised him was that the professor ________.

A. was suffering form great pain          B. was still very confident

C. didn’t know he would die soon         D. still cared for others

4. Of the following statements, the writer may agree that _________.

A. the professor loves his job very much

B. few students supported the writer’s decision at first

C. the professor will go back to teach this summer

D. the professor often feels sorry for himself
