20．The Hollywood film，"The Martian"，opens to U．S．audiences on October 2．Actor Matt Damon stars as an astronaut left alone on Mars．His crew returned to Earth thinking he had died in a windstorm．Damon's character，Mark Watney，must survive with few supplies and somehow get a message to Earth that he is alive．
The plan to release the movie this week was some lucky timing．On Monday，the U．S．space agency NASA announced it had found strong evidence of liquid water on Mars．That again raised the possibility that，with liquid water，there could be life．
NASA also took a part in the development of"The Martian"．Director Ridley Scott and Matt Damon reached out to agency officials for help to make the story as scientific as possible．
So how scientifically accurate is"The Martian"？Jeffrey Luger of Time magazine tried to answer that question．He pointed out two of the biggest falsehoods of the film．The first，Mr．Luger writes，is central to the story：a powerful，dangerous windstorm that forces the space crew to leave the planet．The very low density atmosphere of Mars，Mr．Luger argues，could not create a storm like that．Mr．Luger also has trouble with the lack of danger from radiation on Mars．He notes that the six-month trip to Mars alone would expose the astronaut to 15times more radiation than is permitted for nuclear energy workers in a year．
But Popular Science reported much realism in the details．Science writer Sarah Fecht points to Astronaut Watney's struggle to work in astronaut clothing，especially the gloves．And，an expert she spoke with said the stiff gloves are a real problem．They are very difficult to bend．
"The Martian"is receiving excellent reviews from top critics．Anne Hornaday calls it a"spirited example of how cool science can be"．Mike D'Angelo describes"The Martian"as a"celebration of our ability to solve even the most difficult problems"．

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了好莱坞电影火星人正式发布，这部电影是美国航天局推动发布的，充满了科技色彩，但是时代杂志也从中找出了许多虚假不合理的情节．
解答 32．B．细节理解题．根据文章第一段"Actor Matt Damon stars as an astronaut left alone on Mars"可知在这部电影中，演员Matt Damon演绎了一个独自离开到火星的宇航员；故选B．
33．C．细节理解题．根据文章第二段"NASA also took a part in the development of"The Martian""可知NASA参与了火星人这部电影的发展；故选C．
34．D．推理判断题．根据文章第三段"He notes that the six-month trip to Mars alone would expose the astronaut to 15times more radiation than is permitted for nuclear energy workers in a year"可知在火星生活六个月在带来人体所能接受辐射的15倍；因此火星辐射对Matt Damon没什么影响是证明这是个虚假故事的证据之一；故选D．
35．A．推理判断题．通读全文，可知火星人这部电影描述的是宇航员流浪星际在火星独自生活六个月的故事，充满了神秘科技的色彩，是一部科技大片，因此它是一部科幻电影；故选A．
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
