21．（6分）Circles can be found everywhere in the natural world, but with no accurate way to measure them they are very mysterious and might never be fully understood. When you take the distance around a circle and divide it by the distance across a circle, you will always get Pi(∏). While Pi is equal to about 3.14 when rounded, it is infinitely long. With the help of computers, mathematicians have been able to calculate Pi out to over a trillion decimal(小数) places. This makes Pi puzzling, even to the most famous mathematicians.
Pi Day is celebrated globally on March 14, since the way we write this date, 3/14, looks just like Pi when rounded. In 2009, U. S. Congress voted to officially make March 14 Pi Day. Certain parts of the world—places where March 14 is written as 14/3—will instead celebrate Pi Approximation Day which takes place on July 22nd because of the result of
22/7.
Pi has appeared in movies, comics, music, and more. “In modern movies, any time the filmmaker wants to create a sense of mystery, the symbol Pi is used,” says Blatner. People also love working to memorize the digits(数位) of Pi and competing against others to see who can remember most. The Guinness World Record for reciting the most digits of Pi is held by Lu Chao of China, who successfully recited Pi to nearly 67,000 decimal places.
Above all, Pi Day is about having fun with the number, according to Blatner. People will celebrate Pi Day by eating pie and throwing pie, and with fun Pi-related games. Princeton, New Jersey holds a series of Pi-related festivities. Events this year inclu de a surprise birthday party for Albert Einstein whose birthday also falls on March 14, and a “Walk a Pi Event” where participants will walk 3.14 miles together. Just like the number itself, the possibilities for Pi Day are truly endless.
1、What makes Pi mysterious?
A．Ways to divide a circle.
B．Ways to use it when rounded.
C．Inability to write it as an expression.
D．Its plentiful decimal places.
2、Why is Pi Day celebrated in some places on July 22nd?
A．Because it is voted officially.
B．Because it was corrected originally.
C．Because the division result is approximately equal to Pi.
D．Because that day is easier to remember.
3、What is the goal of using Pi in films according to Blatner?
A．To move more viewers.
B．To call for viewers’ attention.
C．To make the films more frightening.
D．To add something mysterious to the film.
4、What can we learn from the text?
A．Lu Chao is the first Chinese to recite Pi.
B．Many states in the USA celebrate Pi day on July 22nd.
C．There are many different events to celebrate Pi Day in the world.
D．Scientists will try their best to figure out the digits of Pi thoroughly.
（8分）China has entered the cinematic space race. Wandering Earth, the country’s first blockbuster science 22．
fiction film, is on track to be one of the highest-grossing (总收入) 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.
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 of ficially 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 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 crashe
d 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 and the one-dimensional female characters — 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.”
1、Wandering Earth has become China’s ________.
A．first blockbuster sci-fi film B．highest-grossing film
C．only sci-fi film this year D．first sci-fi film to win an award
2、What is the fan’s attitude toward the film according to Paragraph 4?
A．Doubtful. B．Negative.
C．Praiseful. D．Uncaring.
3、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
