News Report

参考答案：
up a mobile phone network on the
moon.
is stable.
主旨内容：
科学家们想要在月球上安置一个设备
,
这样就是史上第一次在月球上可提供移动信号，
且月球网络将
支持月球和地球之间的高清视频和数据流。
参考原文：
A device that
weighs less than 1 kilogram is part of a mission
that will allow scientists to deliver
fourth 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 the 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 space X
Falcon Nine Rocket in 2019.
Mission to the moon intends to establish and test
the first elements of
a communications
network on the moon. The scientists working on the
project opted to build 4G
rather than
the fifth generation or 5G work. This is because
fifth generation networks are still in
testing and trial phases. This means
that a 5G network may not yet be stable enough to
work on the
moon’s surface.
Question 1.
What are scientists planning to do?
Question 2. Why
did scientists choose to set up a 4G network in
their mission?

参考原文：
Firefighters responded to a
fire Wednesday night at an abandoned mall in
Heywood. The fire
was reported at 9:26
p.m. at an old shopping center on Michigan Avenue
near St. Mary’s Church.
Six fire
engines, two trucks and two chiefs responded to
the scene. Crews had the fire under control
in about 45 minutes and managed to
contain the fire to its point of origin. There
were some people
inside
the
building

fire

no
reports
of
any
injuries.
Fire
investigators

scene
but
have
not
yet
determined
the
cause
of
the
fire.
Firefighters will
remain on the scene until later this morning to
ensure that the fire doesn’t start up
again. The shopping mall had not been
in use since 2002. In 2014 City Hall developed a
plan to
knock down the building and
replace it with affordable housing. However, the
plan was dropped
due to lack of
funds.
Question 3. What does the news item say
about the fire?

主旨内容：
去年风暴和洪水及其主要的马铃薯种植区造成了最严重的收成
问题，
使得日本在因马铃
薯短缺后，
薯
片价格是正常价格的
6
倍。
且因为对疾
病的恐惧，
日本法律限制马铃薯的进口
数量，只允许来自美国选
定州的马铃薯。
参考原文：
Potato chips in Japan are
being sold for 6 times their normal price. This is
after the country’s
main manufacturer
stopped sales due to a potato shortage. Storms and
floods and its main potato
growing
region last year caused the worst harvest and more
than 3 decades. Local media reports
suggest Calbee and its main rival
Koike-ya are halting almost 50 products. “We don’t
know when
we’ll
be
able
to
restart”,
a
company
spokesman
said.
Snack
lovers
are
panic
buying
and
many
supermarket shelves are
bare. Japanese laws limit the amount of imported
potatoes that can be used
in Japanese
made products. Japan says fear of disease is its
main reason to block fresh imports. It
still only allows potatoes from
selected US states. This is only at certain times
and on condition that
they
are
processed
at
factories
based
near
Japanese
ports.
But
global
warming
has
raised
the
possibility that domestic produce could
be seriously affected by rare weather events more
often.
Question 5. What problem is Japan
facing?
Question 6. Why does Japan limit the
import of potatoes?
Question 7. What might
affect Japanese domestic produce?

长对话
Conversation
One
：
参考答案：
takes notes.
keeps her mind active.
helps her better remember what she
learns.
主旨内容：
两位学生就上课如何集中注意力进行了探讨。
女生提出在听讲时要用手记笔记，
才能够
把老师讲解的
内容记住，
并且在必要情况甚至可以画无意义的线条来使自己集中注意力；
在
家学习时需要讲知识大声读出来，这些都是通过身体来记忆知识。
参考原文：
M
：
Mr.
Brown’s lectures are so boring.
W
：
Yes, he is not a very exciting speaker.
But the subject is interesting.
M
：
During every one of his lectures, I try
to listen. I really try. But after about 10
minutes my
mind begins to wander and I
lose concentration. But I see that you seem to be
OK. How do you stay
focused through the
entire hour?
W
：
Well, what I do is keep my pen
moving.
M
：
What do you mean?
W
：
It’s a method of active concentration I
read about. One of the most effective ways to
concentrate
is to write things down.
But it has to be done by hand, not typing on a
keyboard. You see writing by
hand
forces you to actually engage with what you’re
learning in a more physical way.
M
：
Do
you review your notes afterwards then?
W
：
Sometimes, but that’s not important. My
notes may or may not be useful but the point is
that
by
writing
down
what
Mr.
Brand
says
I
can
follow
his
line
of
thinking
more
easily.
In
fact,
sometimes I draw a
little too.
M
：
You
draw in class and that helps me pay
attention?
W
：
Yes, honestly it works for me. I just
draw little lines and nonsense really. It was also
in that
article I read. It can keep the
mind active, prevent getting bored and help to
concentrate. Again the
point is to
listen hard while keeping the pen moving. If I’m
at home and I need to study what I do
is read out loud. It has a similar
effect to writing by hand. It helps memorize
information in a physical
way.
Question 8. What does the man think of
Mr. Brown’s lectures?
Question 9. What does the
woman do during Mr. Brown’s lectures?
Question 10.
Why does the woman draw in class?
Question 11.
What does the woman say about reading out
loud?
