called Halifax and the otherheaded to Vancouver on the west coast.We had a dilemma;we were left inthe middle.At the time I was still working and my job was in Ottawa.However,as we began to consider retirement we wondered where we should spendour final years.We couldnt be close to both of our children and there wasno telling when they might again relocate.For several reasons we settledin a small town on Vancouver Island.At least we were close to one ofthem.However,he had his sights set on Hollywood and,when anopportunity presented itself,he left Canada and headed south.I helpedhim move.So,there we were,and still are,in our little west coast town.Welove our little comer of paradise but we have paid a price.We have notbeen there for some important events such as the births of two of ourgrandchildren.We have missed watching each of them grow up;we havemissed the normal,noisy households that have young people in them.Ourhome,while very comfortable,is also very quiet.Every fall we travel to see the children.We usually fly,first toCalifornia to see our son Scott and spend a week or more with him tryingto catch up on everything weve missed.Then,usually in November,wemake the even longer trip east across Canada to see Travis and ourgrandchildren,who are now teenagers,actually into their twenties.Theyseldom come to visit us.The distances are just too great and it is costly.Fortunately,both our boys are doing well and our grandchildren aregrowing up straight and tall.We love all of them and we are secure in theknowledge that they love us but the reality is that

universe in search of a newhome.But as the Earth approaches the Jupiter,something goes wrong inthe system and puts it on course to crash into the planet.Therefore,countless people have come forward to face the challenge and save theEarth.The film is seen by some as the dawn of Chinese sci-fi-a field thathas long been dominated by Hollywood.China is already home to a science fiction literary scene.TheWandering Earth is based on the work of Liu Cixin,the author of TheThree-Body Problem series and the first Chinese author to win a HugoAward.The Wandering Earth fills the gap in Chinese sci-fi movies.Itmeans that Chinas sci-fi movies have officially set sail,one fan of thefilm wrote on Douban.Chinas film market is expected to overtake the US as the worldslargest by 2022,but there is

seeking swordfish（佥 i j 鱼）off the coastof California accidentally caught and killed over 100 sea turtles,andinjured many more.In 2001,the government established the PacificLeatherback Conservation Area（PLCA）,a region off the coast ofCalifornia where fishing boats arent allowed to enter from Augustthrough November.Since then,the number of turtles killed by mistakehas fallen rapidly,but a handful of animals still die from being caught infishing nets each year.And meanwhile,the once$15 million swordfishindustry has become a$2 million industry.Scientists are hoping to find a way to both protect sea turtles andother endangered creatures and help fishermen make a living.For this,many are looking at dynamic（动 态 的）ocean management to help fishingboats meet fish where they are and avoid catching other fish by mistake.The first paper to suggest that the fish that live in the open oceanshould be guarded with fluid,ever-changing zones of protection,cameout in 2000.Larry Crowder,a professor at Hopkins Marine Station,remembers reading it and thinking,Cool idea,but it will never work.In2000,scientists didnt have the computer power to cheaply test statisticalmodels or deal with satellite data quickly.They didnt have enough datadealing with fish or satellite data on ocean conditions,either.Now scientists can download satellite data of oceans in minutes,andattach satellite archival tags（档 案 标 签）to sea animals to track theirmovements.They first collect data by marking the creatures,collectingreports from fishing boats,or other tracking methods.Then they comparethat data with weather conditions,the time of year,and any other data thatcan be sensed.Finally,they can forecast where fish are likely to be.Crowder and his colleagues used the data to develop a tool calledEcoCast,which shows fishermen a daily map where there are more fishthey desire.According to statistical models,if fishers had used EcoCastduring the 2012 and 2015 fishing seasons,they could have fished in atleast 125,000 more square miles,without significant risk of hurtingturtles.12.The government hoped the PLCA and its rules c o u l d.A.prevent fishing in the PLCAB.help collect data for future researchC.protect the creatures in the area to some degreeD.make the public realize the importance of our environment13.What did Larry Crowder think of dynamic ocean management at first?A.lt was unrealistic.B.It was stupid.C.It was possible.D.It was interesting.14.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?A.An effective way to collect data.B.Some fruits in the related technology.C.A scientific method to find specific species.D.The way dynamic ocean management works.15.What should be the advantage of using EcoCast?A.It protects the marine environment from pollution.B.It reduces the risk of national economic loss.C.It prevents fishermen from getting lost while fishing.D.lt both protects ocean animals and supports fishery industry.第 二 节（共 5 小 题;每 小 题 2.5分，满 分 12.5分）阅 读 下 面 短 文，从 短 文 后 的 选
