It has been nearly 5 years since Chang'e-4, a Chinese spacecraft, made the first soft landing on the far side of the moon at 10:26 am on 3rd January 2019. It is the first time that a spacecraft has made it. The far side is the part of the moon that always faces away from the earth.

After it landed on the ground, the spacecraft took the first photo of the"dark side"of the moon, and sent it back to the earth through the Queqiao relay satellite(中继卫星).The scientists launched the satellite into space in May, 2018.

"What we know about the far side of the moon is from orbiters (轨道飞行器), from Russia, the US, European countries, China and India,"Andrew Coates, a professor of Physics at University College London, told a reporter. China sent Chang'e-4 into space from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in December,2018. Sending a spacecraft to the far side of the moon isn't easy, because the far side is covered in craters(火山口). Some of its mountains are higher than Qomolangma, the highest mountain on the earth.

What's more, we can't see the far side because it takes the moon about 28 days to move around the earth with the same side always facing our planet. Direct communication with the earth is impossible on the far side of the moon, so communications must go through a communication satellite. That was why scientists launched the Queqiao relay satellite.

Recently, a tourist said in a video that there was no hot water on the Huangshan Mountain. Some tourists also complained(抱怨) online that they failed to get hot water for cooking instant noodles since it was banned(禁止) by the scenic area. For a time, "Why doesn't the Huangshan Scenic Area provide hot water for instant noodles?" became a hot topic on the Internet. Many people thought this rule was unreasonable.

Later, the staff of the Huangshan Scenic Area(景区) replied to the question: In order to protect the animals, plants and environment of the Huangshan Mountain, tourists are advised not to eat instant noodles in the area.

Before the rule was made, leftovers(残羹) and packaging materials from instant noodles were often found throwing in the scenic area. These seriously harm the soil and plants. In addition, animals, such as squirrels and birds, may eat these leftovers by mistake, which poses a threat(威胁) to their health.

In fact, eating instant noodles is not banned on the mountain but it is not encouraged, according to a leader of the scenic area. Actually, the ban on sales of instant noodles on the mountain was put in place in 2006.

The staff at the scenic area said, "Tourists can get hot water at the rest area in the scenic area. They are also allowed to bring their own food products such as bread and self-heating meals. For those who do not bring food, the scenic area has supermarkets and restaurants."

This action quickly received understanding and support from the public. "This is necessary. We should follow the rule while enjoying the beauty of nature," one tourist shared his opinion online. "I support the rule, and we should all play a part in protecting the environment."

 B. 阅读下面短文,然后根据括号内所给汉语意思写出单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。

Have you ever heard about "E-sticks"? People{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (很少) connect sticks with GPS. Wang Zikuan, a teenager from Shenzhen, made a big difference by inventing the walking sticks for old people. Zikuan found that old people in{#blank#}2{#/blank#} ( 日 常 的 ) lives always got hurt badly when they hit against things. But not everyone{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (知道) how to help them. Inspired by car alarm system, he built a sensor (感应器) into his walking sticks. If the stick comes within 25 cm of a wall or other things, it will sound an alarm to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (警告) the user. The stick's GPS system also allows users to be found if they get lost. 

His teacher Mr. Zhang noticed his talent and that he should take part in a{#blank#}5{#/blank#} ( 当 地 的 ) inventing competition. After trying for many times, he made it. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ( 没 有 ) doubt, he won the first place. Now the walking sticks are{#blank#}7{#/blank#} ( 广 泛 地 ) used by the old and the disabled. Many accidents are{#blank#}8{#/blank#} ( 避 免 ) with the help of the walking sticks. 

Zikuan's parents took{#blank#}9{#/blank#} ( 自 豪 ) in what he had done. In order to inspire Zikuan's creativity, his parents always encourage him to think of more{#blank#}10{#/blank#} ( 想 法 ) that are well worth considering and take him to different invention fairs.
