Christopher Nolan's latest movie Oppenheimer has become very popular around the world. The movie tells the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer, who is 16

time, he worked with other young scientists and 21 a center for the
study of quantum physics. After World War II broke out, his life changed 22 . He made friends with Ernest Lawrence, a physicist who played an important
23 in the Manhattan Project. Then they started to do research to build
the atomic bomb together.

On a cold January morning, a man sat at a subway station in Washington DC and
started to play the violin. He played for about 45 minutes.
Three minutes went by, and a middle-aged man stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to take care of his own things.
A minute later, the violinist received his first tip: a woman threw some money without stopping, and walked away.
Only a 3-year-old boy took the music seriously, going over, sitting down and soon
losing himself in the wonderful performance. His mother wished to hurry away, but the kid kept looking at the violinist.
When he finished playing, no one noticed it. No one applauded (鼓掌).
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written,
on a violin worth 3.5 million dollars. Joshua Bell played the same music with the
same violin and the seats each cost 100 dollars at a theatre two days before.
Joshua Bell's playing in the subway station was a social experiment. It asks questions: in a common environment at a wrong hour, do we enjoy beauty? Do we stop
to make a response (反应)? If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of
the best musicians in the world playing the best music, how many other things are
we ignoring (忽视)?
( )26. What's the man's purpose of playing the violin at the subway station?
A. To make some money.

(2023山东潍坊中考改编,★★☆)
The Earth's going on a trip once again! Whether you have watched The Wan-
dering Earth (《流浪地球》) in 2019 or not, the name must be well-known to you.
Since it was China's first science fiction blockbuster(科幻大片), the cinemas were
soon so crowded when it was on. The Wandering Earth Ⅱ came out on the first day
of the Lunar New Year in 2023. It has become the newest hit.
As a prequel (前篇) to The Wandering Earth in 2019, the new movie describes the
fact that humans are in danger of dying out for some reasons. To survive, they make
different plans. Finally, they decide to build tens of thousands of huge engines on
the surface of the Earth. They plan to drive the Earth to the nearest solar system. The
movie shows how humans fight against disasters (灾难). In order to save the Earth,
a group of young people have to step forward to start a race against time for life and
death.
“The creators of The Wandering Earth Ⅱ are very similar to the characters in the
movie. Their great courage and creative spirit are the engine to push the 'planet'
of science fiction into the future,” said Liu Cixin, writer of the story The Wander-
ing Earth and the novel The Three-body Problem. “We all know that China's sci-
ence fiction still has a long way to go. Luckily, there are a group of people who are
working very hard for it.”
From The Wandering Earth four years ago to this year's prequel, director Guo Fan always hopes people can remember the idea expressed in them. Because of the love
for our homeland, we won't escape from the Earth in a spaceship, but choose to
wander with the planet at last.
根据短文内容回答下列问题。
31. Why was The Wandering Earth in 2019 so popular?
32. What does The Wandering Earth Ⅱ show us?
33. What are the creators and the characters of the movie like in Paragraph 3?

It shows us how humans fight against disasters.
Brave/Courageous and creative.
因为对自己祖国的热爱,我们不会乘坐宇宙飞船逃离地球,而是最终选择与地球一起流浪。

语篇解读 本文主要讲述了《流浪地球2》中人类在面临危险时决定在地球表
面建造数以万计的巨型发动机拯救地球的故事,故事展示了人类如何与灾难作
斗争的决心。
31. Because it was China's first science fiction blockbuster. 根据第一段第三句
可知,《流浪地球》是中国第一部科幻大片,所以很流行。
32. It shows us how humans fight against disasters. 根据第二段中“As a prequel
to The Wandering Earth in 2019...The movie shows how humans fight against disas-
ters.”可知,《流浪地球2》展示了人们如何对抗灾难的故事。
33. Brave/Courageous and creative. 根据第三段第一句和第二句可知,《流浪地
球2》的创作者与电影中的角色很相似。他们的勇气和创造精神是推动科幻小
说“星球”走向未来的引擎。故填Brave/Courageous and creative。
34. 因为对自己祖国的热爱,我们不会乘坐宇宙飞船逃离地球,而是最终选择与
地球一起流浪。
35. 开放性试题,答案符合题意即可。参考答案:(1) It is too hot for plants to grow.
