月四级英语听力真题第一套原文

News Report One

A device that weighs less than one kilogram is part of a mission that will allow

scientists

to

deliver

fourh

generation

or

4G

mobile

coverage

to

the

moon

in

2019.

If

successful,

the

tiny

device

will

provide

the

moon

with

its

first-

ever

mobile phone network. The lunar network will support high-definition streaming

of

video

and

data

between

the

moon

and

Earth.

The

network

is

part

of

a

mission to the moon. This is a project with the goal of landing the first privately

paid

for

mission

to

the

moon.

The

4G

mission

is

set

to

launch

from

Cape

Canaveral in the United States on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocketin 2019. Mission

to

the

moon

intends

to

establish

and

test

the

first

element

sofa

communications network on the moon. The scientists working on the project

opted

to

build

a

4G,

rather

than

a

fifth

generation

or

5G

network.

This

is

because

fifth

generation

networks

are

still

in

testing

and

trial

phases.

Thismeans that a 5G network may not yet be stable enough to work on the

moon' s surface.

Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.

1. What are scientists planning to do?

2. Why did scientists choose to set up a 4Gnetwork in their mission

？
