China has completed its home­grown BeiDou Navigation (导航) Satellite System (BDS) with the successful launch of two more BDS­3 satellites, 19 in all, and has started providing services to countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) since the end of 2018. The BDS, which will compete against the US’ Global Positioning System (GPS), will provide high­precision, reliable positioning, navigation and timing services anywhere in the world by the end of 2020.

The Belt and Road Initiative is an ambitious effort to improve regional cooperation and connectivity in a trans­continental range. The initiative aims to strengthen infrastructure (基础设施), trade, and investment links between China and some 65 other countries. It is also expected to increase Beijing's influence in these countries.

“This is a key step for the BDS developing from a Chinese home system to a regional and then a global navigation system，” said Yang Changfeng, chief designer of the BeiDou system. China plans to launch another 11 BDS­3 satellites between the end of 2018 and 2020. China developed the BDS through a unique technological approach, contributing Chinese wisdom to the theory and construction of international satellite navigation systems.

Altogether 18 BDS satellites have been sent into space in 2018, making this year the most intensive launch of the BDS satellites. They improved their work efficiency by reforming the management process. The number of satellite staff at the launch center has been reduced by nearly half, and the testing time before launch has been shortened by nearly a third. In the CAST production base in Beijing, several BDS satellites are being manufactured at the same time. They try to improve intelligent manufacturing capability, and cut down production times. Construction of the BDS­3 system has accelerated.

Once the BDS is fully completed, it will be the fourth global satellite navigation system after the US GPS system, Russia's GLONASS and the European Union's Galileo. India too, is building its navigational system called the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS), with an operational name of NAVIC.

这是一篇说明文，介绍了中国北斗卫星导航系统正在一步一步地完成它的既定目标，并将最终成为全球第四大卫星导航系统。

4．When can the BDS offer global services?

A．In 2018.  B．In 2019.

C．In 2020.  D．In 2025.

答案：C

5．What can the BDS do now?

A．Take the place of the GPS of the USA.

B．Watch anyone anywhere in the world.

C．Control the Belt and Road countries.

D．Serve the Belt and Road Initiative.

6．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

A．The unique characters of the BDS.

B．The Chinese technology of the BDS.

C．The efforts of the staff of the BDS.

D．The difficulties the BDS has to deal with.

Sara Savick remembers one special Easter when she was nine years old. Her parents gave her a baby duckling in a yellow basket.

“Mom said later that she bought the little duck because she felt sorry for it，” recalled Sara. The people at the pet store colored the feathers pink for Easter. Sara named the duck Pinky.

Sara's mother really didn't think the baby duck would survive very long. But to her surprise, Pinky grew and got stronger and stronger. Soon, the little duckling was a healthy duck with white feathers.

“We fed Pinky oatmeal, cooked and uncooked, and small pieces of vegetables，” said Sara. Pinky lived inside the house with Sara and her family. She specially fancied taking baths with Sara. Everyone treated Pinky as a family member.

But just when everything appeared to be perfect, the night of the “talk” came. Sara's mom and dad sat her down, explaining that the best thing for Pinky was to live a normal duck life, with other ducks. It was not natural for ducks to live indoors with a family, her father told her. He added Pinky needed to swim in ponds and do all the same things that ducks in the wild do.

Sara started to cry, knowing what was going to happen. Sara's parents decided to take Pinky to a park, which was two miles away. There was a pond with a lot of other ducks. Pinky would have the chance to live a natural life and Sara could still visit her.

The big day came, Sara and her parents put Pinky in a box and drove to the park. Sara said that Pinky did not look happy; maybe Pinky was convinced that she was a human, not a duck.

答案

Paragraph 1：

Everyone was sad when they left Pinky at the pond, even Sara's father. But he tried to convince Sara that Pinky was fine. Walking towards the car, Sara looked over her shoulder and saw Pinky standing alone. The other ducks were swimming around in circles, looking at Pinky. To Sara, it seemed that they were trying to identify the strange animal. They didn't recognize Pinky as a duck. Worried about Pinky, Sara dreamed of Pinky being bullied by other ducks the whole night.

Paragraph 2：

The next morning, when looking out of the kitchen window, Sara couldn't believe her eyes! There was Pinky, happily walking around on the grass. Thrilled at what she saw, she kept asking herself, “How did she make it？” After all, it was two miles away and she managed to walk back through the city street. Incredible! But her parents drove Pinky back to the pond again regardless of her request. The following morning, there was Pinky again on the grass! Seeing Pinky again, her father, waving his arms about wildly, moved his lips without saying anything. Meanwhile, Sara, overjoyed, hugged Pinky tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks.
