阅读理解

    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.

We were silently waiting on the platform(站台) in the late afternoon.There he was,my1 grandfather with his grey hair and there I was,a teenage girl in my jeans and T﹣shirt.I was wondering how I was going to get through the next two days.Why did I agree to be with my strange grandpa on the two days' train ride from our city to2

No one else wanted to be his partner along3 way since my grandfather refused to take a plane.Unlike him,I loved to fly because I wanted to get to the destinations(目的地) as4 as possible.No matter how much he 5 about the quickness of flying,my grandfather refused to book a flight,saying, "It is not just about time.It's the experience of getting there. "

With my first step onto the train,the journey was already different from 6 .The train was modern and filled with friendly travelers.We seated 7 in the dining car,where we could enjoy food and drinks while we were watching the beauty of nature passing by.Instead of listening to my own music,I listened to my grandfather talking 8 my family history that I had never had the time or patience to learn about before.For the first time I felt I 9 him.I was thankful for our time together on the train.

In this rapidly changing world,we often miss important moments.It is necessary to slow down10 listen to elders who offer a piece of their history or experience and share their feelings.Life isn't just about the destination.It's about the journey.

A 15-year-old boy named Tim Brown got lost in the mountains. However, he was safe at last thanks to his amazing survival(生存,幸存) skills. 

One day in October 2016, Tim went hiking with his group in the Magaliesberg Mountains, South Africa. At first, everything went well. But at about one o'clock in the afternoon, he lost his way and couldn't find any other people. He was afraid at first, but then he tried to calm down. He knew what to do in such a situation. 

"I should follow the river, follow the light, follow the sun and finally there will be buildings, roads and people and I could call home, " he told himself. 

Tim kept walking. Suddenly he heard some sounds and ran towards them first. But suddenly he saw some baboons(狒狒). Unluckily, one baboon scratched(抓伤)his arm. He found some water to wash the blood off the scratches and walked on. Tim just wore a pair of swimming minks

(游泳裤), so he felt very cold. He tried to keep warm by covering his body with leaves. About 22 hours later, he finally met a farmer and was able to call his mom. 

After he came back, his mom asked why he carried on walking when it got dark. The little boy said if he did that, he would see her again. Nothing could beat his love for his mom!
