In the film, which is adapted from a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying Sun.Humans around the world work togeth

19、er to build a huge engine system that will push Earth away from the Sun. Instead of leaving Earth 一 again 一 this time were taking it with us. This idea didnt come from nowhere. For thousands of years, Chinese people have had a special emotion at their“homeland“ in their hearts and minds. One old say

20、ing is “luo ye gui gen“, which means returning to ones homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree. Or look to an ancient poem: “The season called the White Dew ( 白露) begins tonight/Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright.“ These both show the strong rel

21、ationship that Chinese people have had with their homeland. This is probably what sets “The Wandering Earth“ apart from Hollywood-style space films. “What is Chinese sci-fi?”Guo Fan. the films director, said in an interview. “Films that can really express Our cultural and spiritual core ( 精神核心) can

22、be called Chinese sci-fi. Otherwise, we re just copying others and telling the same American stories. And the makers of“The Wandering Earth“ may have chosen the best time to tell the Chinese sci-fi story. The film was screened on Feb 5, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many peop

27、s. C Nine mini cheetahs robots appeared in the field to show their athletic abilities. The four-legged machines, mini versions of the larger and heavier Cheetah 3, began with a warm-up run across the field. Though they may be similar to their predecessors(原先的事物), the new four-legged machines are muc

28、h more advanced. Weighing just nine kilograms, the robots can bend and swing their legs wide, giving them the ability to walk either right-side-up or upside down. They can also travel through uneven places at about twice the speed of an average persons walking pace and quickly right themselves if ki

29、cked to the ground and perform unbelievable 360-degree backflips(后空翻) from a standing position. Unlike the Cheetah 3, the main robots are built using cheap and easy to find parts. This means that if an arm or a motor breaks, it can be easily replaced. “If you wanted to add another arm, you could jus

30、t add three or four more of these motors,” said lead developer Benjamin Katz, “You could put these parts together, almost like Legos.” The team, which currently has ten of the four-legged machines, plans to build additional units in other university robotic labs. “A big part of why we built this rob

31、ot is that it makes it easy to experiment and just try crazy things, because the robot is very strong and doesnt break easily, and if it does break, its easy and not very expensive to fix, ” said Katz. He believes that this will enable other engineers to teach the robots different skills. “Eventuall

32、y, Im hoping that we could have a robotic dog race through an obstacle course, where each team controls a mini cheetah with different ways, and we can see which strategy is more effective. Thats how you accelerate research,” said Katz. The teams reason for developing the robots extends beyond entert

33、ainment. They hope that someday packs of “cheetahs” will assist first respondents with search and recovery missions following natural disasters like earthquakes, work alongside firefighters, and even respond to military emergencies. 28.

36、tudy suggests that todays kids can delay gratification(满足感) longer than children in the 1960s and 1980s,“ said University of Minnesota psychologist Stephanie M. Carlson.This finding stands in great contrast with the assumption by adults that todays children have less self-control than previous gener

37、ations. The original marshmallow(棉花糖) test conducted by researchers at Stanford University involved a series of experiments in which children aged between 3 and 5 years were offered one treat that they could eat immediately or a larger treat if they waited. Researchers then left the room to see how

38、long the children would wait and watched from behind a one-way mirror. Interestingly, todays adults thought that children nowadays would be more impulsive and less able to wait, Carlson found. “Our findings serve as an example of how our beliefs can be wrong and how its important to do research,” sa

39、id co-author Yuichi Shoda, PhD at the University of Washington. The researchers offered several possible explanations for why children in the 2000s waited longer than those in prior decades. They noted a statistically significant increase in IQ scores in the last several decades. Another explanation

40、 may be societys increased focus on the importance of early education, according to Carlson. The primary objective of preschool changed from largely custodial care (监护) to 3 school readiness in the 1980s. Parenting also has changed in ways that help promote the development of executive function, suc

41、h as being more supportive of childrens self-control, the researchers noted. Walter Mischel of Columbia University, who co-authored this paper, noted that “while the results indicate that the childrens ability to delay is not weakened on the marshmallow test, the findings do not speak to their willi

42、ngness to delay gratification when faced with the many temptations now available in everyday life.” 32.According to the passage, what is the adults assumption about todays children? A. They are not easy to please. B. They are less able to control themselves. C. They dont like things that are easy to

43、 get. D. They have different personalities from previous generations. 33. What does the underlined word “impulsive “ in Paragraph 3 mean? A. productiveB. considerateC. clear-mindedD. hot-headed 34. What did the researchers find about children in the 2000s? A. They are more prepared to go to school.

44、B. They are not as clever as previous generations. C. They are taught self-control only by their teachers. D. They dont need any custodial care in their early childhood. 35. What does the author want to tell readers in the last paragraph? A. Most children nowadays cant resist the temptations of ever

45、yday life. B. Children chose to delay gratification willingly in the marshmallow test. C. The test cant accurately measure childrens willingness to delay gratification. D. Childrens ability to delay gratification is weakened because there are many temptations. 第二节（共第二节（共 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空

47、e land they claim as their own, males will aggressively let out a territorial call.37. Warning calls are employed to warn other frogs of some nearby danger and are commonly heard when an attacker comes near.38.

48、ntended to scare the attacker. This scream is almost always made when the attacker succeeds in grasping the frog because, should it be greatly surprised, the attacker may release the frog, which might permit the animal to make its escape. 39, which is employed when another frog is caught hold of by

49、mistake. This regularly happens during the mating season, when male frogs eager for a mate wrongly grasp another male.
