News 1
A device that weighs less than one 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 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 9 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 a 4G rather than a fifth generation or 5G network. 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？
一个重量不到一公斤的设备是一项任务的一部分，该任务将允许科学家在2019年向月球提供第四代或4G移动覆盖。如果成功，这个微小的设备将为月球提供有史以来第一个移动电话网络。月球网络将支持月球和地球之间的高清晰度视频和数据流式传输。该网络是登月任务的一部分。这是一个以首次私人付费登月任务为目标的项目。4G任务将于2019年用太空X猎鹰9号火箭从美国卡纳维拉尔角发射。月球任务打算建立和测试月球上通信网络的第一个要素。参与该项目的科学家选择建设4G网络，而不是第五代或5G网络。这是因为第五代网络仍处于测试和试验阶段。这意味着5G网络可能还不够稳定，不足以在月球表面工作。
问题1：科学家们计划做什么？
问题2：为什么科学家在任务中选择架设4G网络？

It‘s responded to a fire Wednesday night at an abandoned mall in Heywood. The fire was reported at 9: 26 pm 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 when the fire broke out but there were no reports of any injuries. Fire investigators have responded to the 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.

Potato chips in Japan are being sold for 6X 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. Sna ck 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？
在日本，薯片的售价是正常价格的6倍。这是在该国主要制造商因土豆短缺而停止销售之后。去年的暴风雨和洪水及其主要马铃薯种植区造成了30多年来最糟糕的收成。当地媒体报道称，Calbee及其主要竞争对手小池屋(Koike-ya)将暂停近50种产品。
“我们不知道什么时候才能重启，”一位公司发言人说。喜欢吃零食的人都在抢购，许多超市的货架上都空空如也。日本法律限制可用于日本制造产品的进口土豆数量。日本表示，对疾病的恐惧是阻止新进口的主要原因。它仍然只允许来自美国选定州的土豆。这只是在特定的时间和条件下，它们是在日本港口附近的工厂加工的。
但全球变暖增加了国内农产品可能更频繁地受到罕见天气事件严重影响的可能性。
问题5：日本面临什么问题？
问题6：日本为什么限制土豆进口？
问题7：什么可能会影响日本国内生产？
5. A) Shrinking potato farming. B)Heavy reliance on import.
C) Widespread plantdisease. D)Insufficient potato supply.
6. A) It intends to keep its traditional diet.
B) It wants to expand its own farming.
C) It is afraid of thespread of disease.
D) It is worried aboutunfair competition.
7. A) Global warming. B)Ever-rising prices.
C) Government regulation. D) Diminishinginvestment.
5.a)马铃薯种植萎缩。
b)严重依赖进口。
c)普遍存在的植物病害。
d)马铃薯供应不足。
6.a)它打算保持其传统饮食。
b)它想要扩大自己的农业。
c)害怕疾病的传播。
d)它担心不公平竞争。
7.a)全球变暖。
b)不断上涨的物价。
c)政府监管。
d)缩减投资。
Conversation 1
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 list en 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？
M：布朗先生的讲座太无聊了。
W：是的，他不是一个很令人兴奋的演讲者。但是这个主题很有趣。
M：在他的每一堂课上，我都试着听，我真的试过了。但大约10分钟后，我开始走神，注意力不集中。不过，我看你看起来挺好的。你是如何在整个小时里保持专注的呢？
W：嗯，我要做的就是让我的钢笔动起来。
M：你是什么意思？
W：这是我读到过的一种积极集中注意力的方法。集中注意力最有效的方法之一就是把事情写下来。但它必须手工完成，而不是在键盘上打字。你看，手写迫使你以一种更实际的方式参与到你正在学习的东西中。
M：那你事后会复习你的笔记吗？
W：有时会，但那并不重要。我的笔记可能有用，也可能没用，但关键是，把布兰德先生说的话写下来，我可以更容易地理解他的思路。事实上，有时我也会画一点。
M：你在课堂上画画，这能帮助我集中注意力吗？
W：是的，老实说，它对我很管用。我只是画了点小线，真的是胡说八道。在我读到的那篇
文章里也有。它可以保持头脑活跃，防止厌烦，有助于集中注意力。再说一次，关键是要认真听，同时保持笔的移动。如果我在家需要学习，我所做的就是大声朗读。它具有与手写类似的效果。它有助于以物理方式记忆信息。
问题8。这个人对布朗先生的讲座有什么看法？
问题9.这位女士在布朗先生的讲座中做什么？
问题10：为什么这位女士要在课堂上画画？
问题11：关于大声朗读，这位女士说了些什么？

Conversation 2
M: Ann, where is this?
W: These photos are from the Taj Mahal in India. We went there about ten years ago for our honeymoon.
M: Was it romantic?
W: Yeah, the Taj Mahal was a very romantic place. The guide told us there is a very famous love story behind this building that all Indians learn in school. I think it was during the 1600s. And the princess at the time died while giving birth to her fourteenth child. The emperor loved the princess so much and was so sad when she died that he ordered the palace to be
built in her honor.
M: Wow. That sounds very romantic. It looks amazing.
W: Yes, it's gorgeous. It's also larger in real life than it looks in the photos. The building is very tall and there are gardens and a wall around it all. It's all built in this white stone and some walls of the building are decorated with jewels.
M: It must have been very crowded when you were there.
W: Yes, it's a very famous tourist destination so there are thousands of visitors every day. M: Was the rest of India crowded?
W: Yes, very crowded in many cities. It was sometimes so crowded that it was difficult to walk along the streets, especially through busy markets. And there are so many cars. Traffic was terrible, but the people are friendly, the culture is amazing and we had a great time.
M: What about the food?
W: Indian food is great. There are lots of different dishes to try and every region has its own special food.

M：安，这是哪里？
W：这些照片来自印度泰姬陵。我们大约十年前去那里度蜜月。
M：浪漫吗？
W：是的，泰姬陵是一个非常浪漫的地方。导游告诉我们，在这座建筑的背后有一个非常著名的爱情故事，所有的印度人都在学校里学到了这个故事。我想是在17世纪。当时的公主在生第十四个孩子的时候去世了。皇帝非常爱公主，当她去世时，他非常伤心，于是下令以她的名义建造宫殿。
M：哇。听起来很浪漫。看起来棒极了。
W：是的，非常漂亮。它在现实生活中也比照片上看起来要大。这座建筑很高，周围都是花园和一堵墙。它都建在这块白色的石头上，大楼的一些墙壁上装饰着珠宝。
M：你在那里的时候一定很拥挤。
W：是的，它是一个非常著名的旅游目的地，所以每天都有成千上万的游客。
M：印度其他地方人多吗？
W：是的，很多城市都很拥挤。它有时是如此拥挤，以至于很难沿着街道行走，特别是穿过繁忙的市场。而且有这么多车。交通很糟糕，但人们很友好，文化令人惊叹，我们度过了一段美好的时光。
M：那食物呢？
W：印度菜很好吃。有很多不同的菜肴可供品尝，每个地区都有自己的特色菜肴。

Passage 1
A Pew Research Center survey of more than 1000 Americans conducted in April 2016 finds that Americans continue to express largely positive views about the current state of their local public libraries. For instance, around three-quarters say that public libraries provide them with the resources they need. And 66% say the closing of their local public library would have a major impact on their community, although notably, just 33% say this would have a major impact on them personally or on their family.
A majority of Americans feel libraries are doing a good job of providing a safe place for people to hang out or spend time as well as opening up educational opportunities for people of all ages. And roughly half think their libraries contribute “a lot” to their communities in terms of helping spark creativity among young people and providing a trusted place for people to learn about new technologies.
As in past Pew Research Center surveys of library use, the April 2016 survey also
measured Americans' usage of and engagement with libraries. Overall, 53% of Americans age 16 and older have had some interaction with a public library in the past year – either through an in-person visit, or using a library website. Some 48% of adults specifically visited a library in the past 12 months, a modest increase from the 44% who said that in late 2015.
Q16: What do most Americans say about local public libraries?
Q17: How can local public libraries benefit young people?
Q18: What does the 2016 survey show about adult library users?
皮尤研究中心2016年4月对1,000多名美国人进行的调查发现，美国人继续对当地公共图书馆的现状大体上持正面看法。例如，约四分之三的人表示，公共图书馆为他们提供了所需的资源。66%的人表示当地公共图书馆的关闭将对他们的社区产生重大影响，但值得注意的是，只有33%的人表示这会对他们个人或家庭产生重大影响。
大多数美国人认为图书馆在为人们提供一个安全的闲逛或消磨时间的地方以及为所有年龄段的人提供教育机会方面做得很好。大约一半的人认为他们的图书馆在帮助激发年轻人的创造力和为人们提供一个值得信赖的地方学习新技术方面为他们的社区做出了“很多”贡献。
与过去皮尤研究中心(Pew Research Center)对图书馆使用情况的调查一样，2016年4月的调查还衡量了美国人对图书馆的使用情况和参与度。总体而言，在过去的一年里，53%的16岁及以上的美国人与公共图书馆有过一些互动-要么是通过面对面参观，要么是使用图书馆网站。在过去的12个月里，约有48%的成年人专门去过图书馆，比2015年末44%的人略有增加。

Passage 2
A Savannah cat is a cross breed between a domestic cat and a serval, a medium-sized, large-eared wild African cat called the serval. The unusual cross became popular among breeders at the end of the 1990s, and in 2001 The International Cat Association (TICA) accepted it as a new registered breed.
The Savannahs are tall and slim, can weigh up to 9.1 kg, making them one of the largest breeds of cats that people can know. They have a spotted coat similar to that of many types of wild cat, and their ears are very large. They are also commonly compare to dogs in their loyalty. They and can also be trained to walk on a leash and to fetch. An often-noted trait characteristic of the Savannah is its jumping ability. They are known to jump on top of doors, and high cabinets.
Some can leap about 2.5 m high from a standing position. Cats are typically known for being very inquisitive, and so are the Savannahs. They often learn how to open doors and cupboards. Many Savannah cats do not fear water, and will play with even dive in water. Some owners even shower with their Savannah cats. Presenting a water bowl to a Savannah may also prove a challenge, as some will promptly begin to "bat" all the water out of the bowl until it is empty, using their front paws.
Question19: What do we learn about the Savannah cats?
Question20: What is characteristic of Savannah cats?
Question21: What do some people do with their Savannah cats?
萨凡纳猫是家猫和Seral的杂交品种，Seral是一种中型、大耳朵的非洲野猫，被称为Seral。这种不同寻常的杂交在20世纪90年代末在饲养者中很受欢迎，2001年国际猫协会(TICA)接受了它作为新的注册品种。
萨凡纳猫又高又瘦，体重可达9.1公斤，是人们所知的体型最大的猫科动物之一。它们的皮毛上有斑点，与许多种类的野猫相似，耳朵也很大。它们的忠诚度也常被拿来与狗作比较。它们还可以被训练用皮带走路和取东西。萨凡纳的一个经常被注意到的特征是它的跳跃能力。众所周知，它们会跳到门顶和高高的橱柜上。
有些人可以从站立位置跳到大约2.5米高。猫通常以好奇心著称，萨凡纳人也是如此。他们经常学习如何开门和打开橱柜。许多草原猫不怕水，甚至潜水也会玩耍。一些主人甚至用他们的萨凡纳猫洗澡。向草原赠送一个水碗也可能被证明是一个挑战，因为有些人会立即开始用前爪“击打”碗里的所有水，直到碗里的水都空了。

Passage 3
When children start school for their very first time, parents often feel a sense of excitement coupled with a touch of sadness of the end of the era. This is the start of a new adventure for children playing and interacting with new friends, sharing, taking turns and settling into a new routine. But of course, this is not the start of your child's education which in fact begun at birth. Back then, you would have been your child's most influential teachers. During this time at home, your child would have learned more than any other period in their life. During your child's first year in school, much time will be spent in learning to read. And they need to know that this is fun and worth-well. Your child will naturally copy you, so it is important that you are seeing, reading and enjoying books, newspapers and magazines rather than just absorbed in screens. Ultimately, an excellent education should be a close partnership between parents and teachers. A child's year splits fairly neatly into thirds - a third at school, a third at sleep and a third awake at home or on holiday. In respective of the quality of the school, a child's home life is of key importance. It is the determining factor of their academic success. Your child may have started on a new journey, but your work is far from finished.

这是孩子们玩耍和与新朋友互动、分享、轮流和适应新日常生活的新冒险的开始。但当然，
这并不是你孩子教育的开始，事实上，教育从出生就开始了。那时候，你们应该是你们孩子最有影响力的老师。在家里的这段时间里，你的孩子会比他们生命中的任何其他时期学到更多的东西。在你的孩子上学的第一年，很多时间将花在学习阅读上。他们需要知道这是有趣的，也是值得的。你的孩子会自然而然地模仿你，所以重要的是你要看、读和享受书籍、报纸和杂志，而不仅仅是沉浸在屏幕上。归根结底，优秀的教育应该是家长和老师之间的密切合作伙伴关系。孩子的一年相当整齐地被分成三份--三分之一在学校，三分之一在睡觉，三分之一在家里或度假时醒着。就学校的质量而言，孩子的家庭生活至关重要。这是他们取得学业成功的决定性因素。你的孩子可能已经开始了一段新的旅程，但你的工作还远远没有结束。

会成为城市发展的焦点问题。商品与服务的自由、快速流通是城市化社会的一项基本特征。逐渐扩张的城市需要更多的零售店来满足消费者的需求。 汉译英： China’s urbanization will release the full potential of domestic demand. Some economists point out that urbanization is a process that is occurring in nearly every developing city in the country. It will lead to a better quality of life for many people，and provide individuals with more job opportunities. The construction of housing and city infrastructure, in?cluding water and energy supplies, will be a focal point of urban develop?ment as more people migrate to cities. Urbanization means better access to educational and medical resources in the city. But it also predicts less use of personal vehicles and more use of public transportation.
