A

China has got very important findings into its space with great efforts, and in 2019 ,China became the first country to send a rover without astronauts to the far side of the moon.But it had to go at it alone in developing a space station, in part because it has been excluded(排除) from the International Space Station Project.The US leads that partnership with Russia, Europe, Canada and Japan but China.They will not co-operate with the Asian countries in orbit.China has had the first solid-liquid bundled(捆绑) launch vehicle and the Long March 6A rockets. China has successfully mastered a number of key new technologies such as launching the Pujiang 2 and Tiankun 2 satellites precisely into our planned orbits.This success shows that China has mastered solid-liquid bundled launch vehicle technology and has become a new member in the new generation launch vehicle family.

For the first time,our China has studied many useful technology ways to overcome many difficulties to sent the rover to the moon.These all depend on our scientists.They are working hard day and night to do lots of research by themselves.Because the scientists from other countries can’t give the knowledge to our China.So I advise our students to study harder to work for our Chinese space.I believe you can make it.

Imagine the situation. You are driving alone in a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device which uses satellites(卫星) to find the user's position(位置).A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.

GPS,which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes,or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.

There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.

Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.

26.What will you do if you are driving alone in a desert or on a mountain?

A.Ask the policemen for help.            B. Ask your parents for help.    

C. Ask your geography teacher for help.    D.Take a GPS with you.

27.What does GPS look like?

A. A small box.    B.A small present       C.A mobile phone,     D.A small plane.

28.What does the underlined word “device ”mean in Chinese?

A. 献身         B. 离婚               C.决定               D.设备

29.How many parts to the Global Positioning System？

A. Two.         B.Three.                C.Four.              D.Five.

30.What’s the best title for the passage?

A.Do you know satellites?              B. Do you know how to get out of the desert?

C. Do you know the GPS?              D. Do you know your position?

C

Man has invented four kinds of satellites. The first kind of satellites studies the geography of the earth. They are used to make maps.

The second kind of satellites is used to guide ships and planes. A ship or a plane can send a message to the satellite, and the satellite can find out .where the ship or the plane is.

The third kind studies the weather. These satellites watch clouds and strong winds moving across the earth. They warn countries to make preparations when very bad. weather is coming.

The last kind is used for communication. Telephone calls between countries can be sent by these satellites. Some can carry hundreds of calls at the same time. The call is sent to the satellite, then the satellite sends it to a station in the country and this country is being phoned. These satellites also carry pictures; they can receive and send about eight programmes at a time.

31．How many kinds of satellites has man invented?

A．Two. B．Three C．Four. D．Five
