By theend of 2025, CASIC plans to have all of the 156 satellites in operation.The Hongyun Proiect, which focuses on communication,remote sensing and navigation, can offer communicationand Internet services for China and l

14、ess-developed 3countries with reduced latency. Meanwhile, the projectcan also benefit emergency communication, sensor data collection and remote control of unmanned equipment.Currently, international maritime satellites are widely used in communications in mountainous areas and airplanes, but those

15、satellites, 36, 000 kilometers abovethe Earth, have time and signal delay as well as high cost for providing services.The small satellites sent by the Hongyun Project will hover in low orbits only hundreds of kilometers to 1, 000 kilometers above the Earth, and thus could improve the Internet access

16、. However, the low orbit satellites may face challenges in power supply, as they need more energyto reduce the influence of air-resistance compared to highorbit satellites. Experiments are needed to determinewhether solar energy alone is enough.1、According to the passage, _.A156satellites will be la

While there are certainly happy memories tied up in the wedding ring you and your spouse (配偶) purchased

20、together years ago or your teddy bear from childhood, new research finds that we typically feel calmer and experience a greater sense of well-being when we focus on a place that reminds us of happier times rather than a thing, even if it holds great value.The report, called Places That Make Us, was

21、conducted by National Trusts and Surrey Universitys researchers. Experts performed functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (磁共振成像) scans on 20 volunteers and conducted an online survey of 2,000 people to better understand this deep draw toward special places.“Working with leading researchers and

22、 academics, and using cutting-edge MRI brain technology, we examined how places affect people, how they become special, and why we feel a pull towards them,” explained Nino Strachey, head of research for the National Trust.The 20 volunteers were shown images of landscapes, houses, and other location

23、s, as well as personally meaningful objects. Measuring their brain activity, the researchers found that it was the places, as opposed to the objects, that caused the brain to get the most excited.Volunteers were also interviewed at great length two times, once at home and the other time at their spe

24、cial place. The research made discoveries that had never known before the favorite places awoke feelings of belonging, physical and emotional safety, and an intense internal pull to the place.Dr. Andy Myers weighed in on the research, saying, “For the first time we have been able to prove the physic

25、al and emotional benefits of places, far beyond any research that has been done before.”1、How was the research conducted?ABy performing MRI on 2,000 volunteers.BBy measuring the participants, brain by MRI.CBy doing rough interviews with the participants.DBy showing meaningful objects to the particip

27、one has his way to be happy.BValuable places can make people happy.CTeddy bears are best memories for children.DMeaningful objects lead to greater well-being.23（8分） Wolves strike fear into the hearts of many species, humans included. Our fear of them has brought them to the edge of dying out, as we

28、have cruelly killed them as competitors and trouble-makers. But researchers are discovering that the very fear they put into prey（被捕食者）species is exactly what helps make ecosystems（生态）healthy.Yellowstone National Park is a typical example of just how wolves can help repair an ecosystem. An October 2

29、018 study analyzed 40 years of research on large animals inside the park.“Yellowstone has benefited from the reintroduction of wolves in ways that we did not anticipate, especially the complexity of biological interactions（互动） in the park,” explained Mark Boyce, a professor in the Department of Biol

30、ogical Sciences. “We were really surprised at that and we d never have seen these responses if the park hadnt adopted ecological-process managementallowing natural ecological processes to take place with least human intervention.”After the wolves were re-introduced at Yellowstone, willow and cottonw

31、ood trees increased in number. The population of bears and bison also rose and what was once a ruling deer-wolf interaction is now more diverse.To learn more about just how wolves are beneficial, a short documentary from Quest explains how the presence of wolves influences the behavior of deer, whic

32、h eventually makes entire ecosystems more biologically diverse and healthy. In this documentary, biologist Aaron Wirsing explored why wolves and other top predators （捕食者） were needed for diverse ecosystems to develop. Using a simple video camera, Wirsing is gaining a unique view point on predator-pr

33、ey relationships and changing the way we think about wolves.The research is one more piece of evidence for why protecting these top predators is important not just for wolves as a species, but for hundreds of species at every level of an ecosystem. The fear they bring along may be the very angle tha

34、t helps save them from dying out.1、What does the underlined word “anticipate” in paragraph 3 probably mean?AExpect.BUnderstand.CNotice.DAccept.2、For what purpose was a documentary made?ATo introduce how wolves behave in the wild.BTo show how wolves benefit from ecosystems.CTo record how Aaron Wirsin

35、g observed wolves.DTo study what good wolves can do to ecosystems.3、What is the significance of the research?AIt proves wolves feed on hundreds of species.BIt helps prove the importance of protecting wolves.CIt shows the complex relationships between species.DIt provides evidence that wolves are end

36、angered animals.4、What is the main idea of the passage?AThe fear of wolves is beneficial to ecosystems.BThe fear of wolves put them in danger of disappearing.CYellowstone National Park owes its healthy ecosystems to wolves.DThe introduction of wolves in Yellowstone National Park is a success.24（8分）A

37、 recent study led by researchers from the National University of Singapore(NUS)has found a clear link between the color of a taxi and its accident rate. An analysis of 36 months of detailed taxi, driver and accident data from two fleets of yellow and blue taxis in Singapore suggested that yellow tax

38、is have fewer accidents than blue taxis. The higher visibility (能见度)of yellow makes it easier for drivers to avoid getting into accidents with yellow taxis, leading to a lower accident rate.The study was led by Prof Ho. To test whether there was a causal relationship between the color of a taxi and

39、the number of accidents the taxi had, the research team analysed data collected by the largest taxi company in Singapore. The researchers found that yellow taxis have about 6.1 fewer accidents per 1,000 taxis per month.The researchers also studied the economic effect of changing the color of the ent

40、ire fleet of taxis to yellow. The Singapore taxi company involved in the study owns about 16,700 taxis in a ratio(比例) of one yellow to three blue taxis. If a commercial decision is made to switch from blue to yellow taxis, 76.6 fewer accidents would occur per month or 917 fewer accidents per year. A

41、ssuming an average repair cost of $1,000 per car and a downtime of six days, switching the color of all taxis to yellow could produce an annual savings of $2 million.“We are eager to continue to validate(证实) the findings of our study by looking at the use of yellow in other types of public transport

42、, such as school buses. For instance, we hope to compare the accident rates of yellow school buses against other colors to find out if yellow is indeed a safer color for school buses. Besides, we are also interested to look at private-hire vehicles and do a comparison of the accident rates of vehicl

43、es that are of different colors,” explained Prof Ho.1、Why do yellow taxis result in fewer accidents?ABecause yellow can be seen more easily.BBecause yellow signals a warning of danger.CBecause drivers tend to be more careful in yellow taxis.DBecause people act more quickly in yellow surroundings.2、W

44、hats Prof Hos study based on?APhysical risks taxi passengers experience.BThe economic effect of changing taxi color.CData from Singapores largest taxi company.DPersonal reports from taxi drivers worldwide.3、What do Prof Hos words in the last paragraph suggest?ASchool buses should be painted yellow.B

45、Their findings are worth popularizing.CYellow should be widely used in public transport.DTheir study will be furthered.4、What can be the best title for the text?ACaution: yellow taxis aheadBSafer to ride in yellow taxisCWhy are yellow taxis preferred?DHow can colors help prevent accidents?25（10分） My
