The sun is going to expand into the orbit of Mercury according to scientific calculations, which will
result in the entire Earth catching on fire. Who will save the world?
This imaginative tale is at the heart of the latest Chinese sci-fi movie The Wandering Earth. Unlike
many American space-themed films where the solution to a disaster Earth faces is always fleeing (逃离) the
planet in spaceships, this time we’re taking the Earth with us. The film, which has made it the country’s
most successful film of all time, has offered a different and more ambitious idea.
The “ambition” didn’t come from nowhere. For thousands of years, “homeland” has had a soft spot in
the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old idiom that shows a strong feeling that Chinese people
have had for their homeland is “luoyeguigen”, which means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like
fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree.
“What is Chinese sci-fi? ” Guo Fan, the film’s director, said in an interview. “A vehicle that really
expresses our cultural and spiritual core (核心) can be called Chinese sci-fi. Otherwise, we’re just
following others and telling the same Hollywood stories. ”
And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story.
The film was released 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.

D. helping Earth make its escape

A. The rich imagination of the story.
B. Hollywood-style space stories.
C. The special cultural background.
D. The time chosen to release the film.
4. What is likely to be title for the passage?

B
Traditionally, robots have been hard, made of metal and other rigid material. But a team of scientists at
Harvard University in the US has managed to build an entirely soft robot-one that draws inspiration from
an octopus(章鱼).
Described in science journal Nature, the “Octobot” could pave the way for more effective autonomous
robots that could be used in search, rescue and exploration. “The Octobot is a minimal system which may
serve as a foundation for a new generation of completely soft, autonomous robots, ”the study’s authors
wrote.
Robots built for precise, repetitive movements in a controlled environment don’t do so well on rough
terrains(地形) or in unpredictable conditions. And they aren’t especially safe around humans, because
they’re made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially dangerous to their users.
So researchers have been working on building soft robots for decades. They’ve taken inspiration from
nature, looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches, which are often made up of more flexible matter.

body, it’s still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts, such as a source of power.
“Although soft robotics is still in its early stage, it holds great promise for several applications, such as
searchandrescue operations and exploration, ”Barbara Mazzolai and Virgilio Mattoli of the Italian
Institute of Technology’s Center for MicroBioRobotics, wrote in a comment. “Soft robots might also open
up new approaches to improving wellness and the quality of life. ”
5. What’s the special feature of “Octobot”?
A. It’s soft. B. It’s made of metal.
C. It’s very small. D. It looks like an octopus.
6. What’s the disadvantage of traditional robots?
A. They’re hard to control.
B. They’re too heavy to move.
C. They can’t predict conditions.
D. They can’t behave well all the time.
7. One of the biggest challenges is to build Octobot’s ______.
A. silicone body B. complex components
C. precise movements D. flexible power source
8. What’s the possible application of “Octobot”?
A. Medical research. B. Life rescue.
C. Machine operation. D. House cleaning.
