But because of the way it orbits Earth, our natural satellite shows us only one side the other is hidden from our view. No one even saw the far side until 1959, when the Soviet Luna 3 spaceship flew around for a look and sent back photos. No astronaut or spaceship went there until this December, when the China National Space Agency （CNSA） launched a 2,500-pound lander called Chang'e-4 to the southern end of the lunar far side.Chang'e-4 operated a small rover （探测车）to survey the geography there for the first time ever. By examining the geography of its landing area, Chang'e-4 could solve longstanding puzzles about the moon, including how it formed 4.5 billion years ago. Chang'e-4 also carried a very small lunar biosphere （生态圈）II containing silkworm eggs and a tiny greenhouse designed to grow potatoes in order to study the growth of the seeds on the moon.Besides Chang'e-4, China plans to launch Chang'e-5 in 2019. Its mission will be to gather moon rocks using an orbiter, a lander or collector, an ascent stage （上升器）and a capsule that will separate from the orbiter and return the rocks to the earth. With these missions, the Chinese will have shown complete mastery of flight in the space between the earth and the moon, II said Paul Spudis, an experienced lunar researcher based in Houston.CNSA has already outlined ideas for Chinese astronauts to follow the robots to the moon. Pei Zhaoyu, deputy director of CNSA's Lunar Exploration and Space Program Center, told that China plans a permanent robotic lunar station in about 10 years and suggested a human presence on the moon another decade or so after that. Spudis said China's ambitious Chang'e-4 andChang'e-5 missions should send human's plans fbr lunar return into rapid development.1、What do we know about the dark side of the moon from the first two paragraphs?A. Two western countries have taken its photos.B. It is hidden from people's view due to the earth's orbit.C , China is the first country to land a spaceship there. D. It exists because the sun never shines there.2、Why did Chang'e-4 operate a small rover?A. To study the geography of the lunar dark side.B. To grow potatoes on the moon.C. To examine the growth of eggs and seeds.D. To survey the lunar biosphere.3、Which of the following can move apart from the orbiter of Chang'e-5?A. The lander. B. The collector.C. The ascent stage. D. The capsule.4、What is Spudis's attitude to China's Chang'e-4 and Chang'e-5 missions?A. Cautious. B. Disapproving.C. Ambiguous. D. Favorable.Text 2You get anxious if there9s no wi-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power, and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you're not there. All these can be called “always on“ stress caused by smart phone addiction.For some people, smart phones have liberated them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy （自主权）in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others though, smart phones have become tyrants （暴君）in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off, relax and recharge their batteries.Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he was ignoring his family and friends in favour of his iPhone. So he developed an app Moment to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time they9re spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are breached （突破）. “Moment's goal is to promote balance in your liffe J his website explains. "Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”Dr. Christine Grant, an occupational （职业的）psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this "always on' culture are that your mind is never resting, and you're not giving your body time to recover, so you're always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.”And as the number of connected smart phones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis （瘫痪）and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. uIt actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they're controlled by it all and fell they can never escape the office,“ said Dr. Christine Grant.1、Whafs the first paragraph mainly about?A. The popularity of smart phones.B. The progress of modern technology.C. The signs of "always on” stress.D. The cause of smart phone addiction.2、Kevin Holesh developed "Moment” to.A. research how people use their mobile phonesB. help people control their use of mobile phonesC. make people love parents and friends aroundD. increase the fun of using mobile phones3、What's Dr. Christine Grant's attitude towards "always on" culture?A. Confused.B. Positive.C. Doubtful.D. Critical.4、According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means.A. we will become less productiveB. we can make a decision more quicklyC. we will be equipped with more knowledgeD we can work more effectivelyText 3Bus Tours in Washington DCThe Lights Night Tour in Washington DCDuration: 3 hours $56.33Highest-rated Night Tour in DC!
