A little boy loved to come and play with it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples... He loved the tree and the tree loved him.‎ Time went by... the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I am no longer a kid; I don’t play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I don’t have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell ‎ them. So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited. He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.‎ One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?” “Sorry, but I don’t have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.‎ Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you anymore... the only thing left is my dying roots,” the tree said with tears.‎ ‎“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied.‎ ‎“Good! Old tree root is the best place to rest. Come, Come to sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears...‎ ‎24. Why did the tree feel sad?‎ A. Because her apples were eaten. B.

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.”‎ 28. 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 ‎29．What is the fan’s attitude toward the film according to Paragraph 4?‎ A．Doubtful. B．Negative. C．Positive D．Uncaring.‎ ‎30. Which of the following does not belong to Chinese-made sci-fi film?‎ A. Shanghai Fortress B. Wandering Earth C. Pathfinder D.Avatar ‎31．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.‎ D Princess quiz time! How did Snow White survive? How did Cinderella (《灰姑娘》) leave her evil stepmother? How did Sleeping Beauty finally wake up?‎ A kind-hearted person always comes to save the princess, like a prince or a godmother. Princesses cannot protect themselves, though they are very pretty and nice. They always need the help of others.‎ However, in fact, women can’t put their life in the hands of a prince-like man. They need to work and even fight for their own happiness. The traditional image of a princess is getting out of date.‎ Recently, Disney, a company famous for its princess movies, posted the “top 10 rules for being a modern princess”. You will not find any rules related to beauty or looks. The rules focus on loyalty, honesty and other moral values. The rules say princesses need to believe in themselves and try their best to get out of trouble, instead of waiting for a prince’s help.‎ It’s not the first time Disney princesses have caught up with society’s development. In 1950, when people’s hearts were broken by World War II, Disney created Cinderella. In 1990, Princess Belle from Beauty and the Beast (《美女与野兽》) loved reading when education was a man’s special right in the past. Belle showed the improvement of women’s position in society. Now is Elsa from the film Frozen (《冰雪奇缘》), a symbol of modern princess.‎ ‎“This is brilliant—‘The top 10 rules of being a modern princess’—(it’s) about time,” a group named Confidently Mom said on social media website Twitter. Princesses are still very beautiful, but inner character is the key to being a princess.‎ ‎32．What does the story think modern women should be like?‎ A．They should turn to others for help.‎ B．They should depend on themselves for their own happiness.‎ C．They don’t need to care about their appearances.‎ D．They should depend on men to do most things.‎ ‎33．Disney’s rules for being a modern princess focus on a girl’s _____.‎ A．looks B．education C．position in society D. thought ‎34．The images were created to catch up with the society’s development except _____.‎ A．Belle B．Cinderella C．Godmother D．Elsa ‎35．What does the group Confidently Mom think of the rules?‎ A．Fantastic B．Meaningless C．Doubtful D．Social 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ We all have at least a few bad habits.
