22、A few days ago, my dad and I decided to take a day trip to the Florida Keys. I was very excited because I didn’t go anywhere over the past two years.

We started our fun trip before sunrise. While on the road, we got to see the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other.

23、   The Wandering Earth is the first sci-fi (科幻) film made in China. It earned $ 304 million in its first six days in China. It has been also popular in the US now and made more than $300 million so far.

The movie was adapted (改编) from the same-title short story by famous Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin, whose book The Three-Body Problem won the Hugo Award in 2015. The film tells a story of people on the earth moving to another planet and saving the humans against the coming destruction (破坏) of the sun.

“It’s amazing that a Chinese movie is so popular here in the United States that tickets are sold out so quickly,” Yang, an engineer in America, told Xinhua on Tuesday.

“I think the film is at the same level with Hollywood sci-fi films,” said Senny Shen, a computer engineer who had just left a movie theater on Tuesday.

“The story is not everyday Hollywood style: superhero saves the day; everyone else is there to give an applause (鼓掌). This movie brings a serious question to us: What are you going to do when facing a terrible disaster (灾难)?” wrote a user under the name CJ-53589793 on IMDB.

So far, the film has scored 7.9 out of 10 on IMDB. More than 3,000 users gave their scores. Many US movie watchers have given the movie high marks.

24、   Look at your calendar. Can you see daxue and dongzhi on it? They are jieqi. In China, there are 24 jieqis. In English, we call them the 24 solar terms. Now, not only Chinese people but also the rest of the world knows about them.

On Nov. 30, 2016, UNESCO made a decision. It added the 24 solar terms to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

About 2,000 years ago, Chinese people studied the changes of different seasons. Later, they made 24 solar terms to help people live and work. For example, it is usually snowy on xiaoxue. After lichun, the weather gets warm. People then begin to work on the farm.

Today, the 24 solar terms are still helpful in our life. Here are two examples. One is hanlu and the other is dongzhi. Did your grandma tell you “don’t show your feet after hanlu”? That’s because cold days are coming! On the day of dongzhi, your parents always cook dumplings for you. It is said that eating dumplings can protect your ears in the cold winter.

【1】How did Chinese people make 24 solar terms?

A. By studying the weather in China. B. By studying the changes of seasons.

C. By studying people’s everyday life. D. By studying people’s farm life.

【2】How many examples are given in the last paragraph?

A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.

【3】If we read the passage from a magazine, the name of the magazine might be   .

A. Chinese History B. World weather C. Eating Habits D. Medical Care

25、B)   请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为 66-75 的相应位置上。

Do you know  what  makes  you  happy?  Write  a  list  of  all  the  things  that  make  you  happy.  If  you  s【1】your time doing all these fun things, you’ll be really happy.

For most people,  fun isn’t  e【2】for real happiness. Paul Dolan wrote a book called Happiness by Design. He thinks happiness comes from both pleasure and  p【3】. If most of the things on your list are about pleasure, that is what you think makes you happy. But you also need activities with purpose.

If  you’re a student,  your “j【4】” is studying and passing exams. It’s easy to do well in subjects you like, but subjects you don’t like are less motivating ( 激 励 的 ). They’re not fun for you, but you have to studythem so you need to f【5】purpose. An “A” in a subject you hate won’t help the world. But can you be part of a study team with friends? Each person can study one part until they understand it and then teach it to the

r【6】of the group. The purpose becomes helping the team.

Go back to your list of things that make you happy. How many of them are activities that bring  purpose? Can you a【7】any more examples? Remember, some activities might bring both pleasure and purpose.

Now  you need to design a happy life.  Paul Dolan b【8】people should “decide, design, do”. First decide what brings  you pleasure and/or purpose  --- that  means your two lists. T【9】, don’t just think about these activities,  fill your life with them. For example,  you love riding a bike but n【10】have time to do it. So, ride to school or the library or the shops. Some parts of our lives are good or bad luck, but we can still design the rest to make more happiness.
