【题目】 In many-even most-space-themed films, whenever Earth faces a disaster, the solution is always leaving the planet in spaceships. But the latest Chinese sci-fi movie,“The Wandering Earth”offers a different idea.

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 together to build a huge engine system that will push Earth away from the Sun. Instead of leaving Earth-again-this time we’re taking it with us.

This idea didn't come from nowhere. For thousands of years, Chinese people have had a special emotion at their “homeland” in their hearts and minds. One old saying is “luo ye gui gen", which means returning to one’s 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 relationship 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 film’s director, said in an interview. “Films that can really express Our cultural and spiritual core ( 精神核心) can 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 people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story: Earth goes wherever humans go, because it's our home.

1What can we know about “The Wandering Earth” from the passage?

A.It follows the latest film fashion.

B.It is based on Liu Cixin' s book.

C.It is a film copying foreign movies.

D.It offers us a new experience of watching films.

2What does Para 3 mainly talk about?

A.The suitable season when the film was screened.

B.The famous poems mentioned in the film.

C.The common points between Chinese films and foreign films.

D.The cultural background of the film.

3The makers of this film choose Feb5 to put on it probably because_________.

A.it was the Spring Festival and many people have time to see it.

B.many old people want to return to their hometown.

C.it can cause many people’s common feelings at this time.

D.Chinese people usually celebrate together on that day.

4What can we infer from Guo Fan's words?

A.American sci-fi fails to express its culture.

B.“The Wandering Earth" tells a foreign story.

C.Chinese sci-fi should have its own features.

D.Science fiction films should express certain spiritual cores.
