Earlier this year, China achieved a new milestone (里程碑) in space research. On January 3, 2019, Chang'e﹣4 became the first lunar probe (月球探测器) in history to successfully land on the far side of the moon.

    The Earth's gravity (重力) slows the moon's rotation (自转), matching it to the speed of its orbit (公转). Therefore, the far side of the moon is almost "dark" and has never been seen. It's this sense of the unknown that makes the far side of the moon such an interesting place for scientific and space research. Being blown by solar (太阳的) winds, the far side may have the special minerals (矿物质 ). For this reason, Chang'e﹣4 will study the effect of solar winds on the lunar surface and any mineral found by the spacecraft. Chang'e﹣4 is also carrying flower seeds, potatoes and silkworm eggs to see whether life is possible on the moon. If it is, then the moon will become a possible choice for space travel in the future.

    However, research of the "dark" side isn't easy. As the far side is blocked(阻断) off from us, radio noise coming off Earth is also blocked. This is why China's relay satellite (中继卫星) Queqiao was sent up in May, 2018. Thanks to Queqiao, the communication problem between Earth and Chang'e﹣4 has been well solved.

    Power supply (电源供应) is also a challenge to the task. Chang'e﹣4 gets energy from the sun through its solar panels. As we know, a lunar day has the length (长度) of 28 Earth days. After Chang'e﹣4 was sent up on December 8, 2018, it took the probe over 20 days to orbit the moon to be in a position to be able to land in moon daylight and use its solar panels.

    Luckily, everything goes well, Chang'e﹣4 has worked on the "dark" side for over 5 months. It has sent back many photos of the far side of the moon and has been used to carry out some scientific experiments.

    The New York Times used the word " groundbreaking" to praise the task and wrote that "it will offer help to the history and development of the moon".

(1)When was Chang'e﹣4 sent up?  

A. In May, 2018.

B. On December 8, 2018.

C. On January 3, 2019.

D. The passage doesn't tell us.

(2)The main tasks of Chang'e﹣4 don't include  

A. studying if life is possible on the moon

B. studying the effect of solar winds on the lunar surface

C. solving the communication problem between Earth and other probes

D. researching any mineral found by the spacecraft

(3)The meaning of the underlined word "groundbreaking" in the last paragraph is the closest to "  ".

A. harmful

B. unpredictable

C. risky

D. pioneering

(4)According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?  

A. Chang'e﹣4 has sent back many photos of the far side of the moon.

B. A lunar day has the length of 28 Earth days.

C. China's relay satellite Queqiao was sent up in order to offer power supply to probes.

D. Chang'e﹣4 is the first lunar probe in history that has successfully landed on the "dark" side of the moon.

The population of the world continues to increase, but in some areas the population is falling.This is true in Europe and especially in Eastern Europe. In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people EVERY HOUR! Russia's population could fall by ONE THIRD by the year 2050! And in Poland (波兰)the population is also going down because people are leaving to work in other countries.

    One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle. All over Europe people, especially educated women, have a different attitude (态度)to children than their parents."I have one child and she is enough for me, "said Galina Tereschkova, a doctor from Moscow. "My husband and I both work full﹣time. We can't imagine having more than one child. "Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all. "I don't want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years, "said 19﹣year﹣old student Hana Markova from Prague. Her opinion is typical of 18﹣24 year old women everywhere in Europe.

    In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of people,usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving the country to work abroad. Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy. Even so, the population of those four countries and many other countries in West Europe is also going down.

    Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France,women now receive nearly 1,000 a month for a year if they have a third child.Austrian women receive 700 a month for three years when they have their first child.

(1)Where in the world is the population getting smaller?  

(2)How many children does Galina Tereschkova want to have?  

(3)What does Hana Markova want to do before she has children?  

(4)Why is the population in Poland going down?  

(5)How does the French government encourage people to have larger families now?

    Recently, the result of the national reading survey has been announced and it paints a brighter future for reading habits in the Internet times. Last year,21,270 men from 55 cities answered the survey. It showed that the Chinese people's reading rate increased slightly over the year before. Reading rate means the percentage of citizens regularly reading books, newspapers and digital (数字)reading materials.

    The survey shows that the daily reading time and yearly reading number of paper books,printed newspapers and magazines have dropped, while digital reading has continuously increased.Every day Chinese people use different digital devices like mobile phones, personal computers or iPads for 100.41 minutes on average (平均),15.5 percent higher than the year before.

    According to the survey, Chinese people's reading habits have changed because mobile phones provide more chances to get different kinds of reading materials on digital platforms. More than 50 percent of the Chinese people who were interviewed prefer digital reading, mostly on mobile phones.

    Another interesting result is that an increasing number of people like to listen to audiobooks(有声读物).More than 30 percent of the people who answered the survey listen to audiobooks,higher than the year before. It may have something to do with the way people go to and from work﹣many people in the countryside drive or take public transport for long hours, which leads to the greater need for audiobooks.

    People's reading habits are changing with social changes. In my opinion, the relevant authorities (相关机构) should pay attention to it and shouldn't fall behind.
