2.A five-year-old dog named Millie is helping to keep the streets of Hereford,England,clean with her 80-year-old owner Alfie Kitson.Kitson only has to point at a bit of rubbish on the floor and say, "Put that in the bin," and Millie will do what he bids.
Millie was just eight months old when she was found abandoned in a rubbish bag tied to a tree branch in Spain,where Kitson and his family lived for 20 years.After giving her a new home,Kitson later spotted a soldier and his dog doing the trick in a park and set about trying to get Millie to do the same.
He began putting a box,of similar size to a public bin,in their Spanish garden,and bit by bit,he raised its height as she understood to drop things in the box.And luckily,the bins in Hereford were just the right size for Millie to showcase her talent when she moved to Britain with Kitson and his wife.
"Obviously,environmental concerns are a hot topic at the moment,so if we can help clear up rubbish and plastic off the street,then we're doing our bit to help," Kitson said. "We rescued her because our house felt empty without an animal.Dogs and cats are a big part of the life of anyone who loves animals.She is the family,and we are glad we can show her off to neighbors as she is really an amazing dog."
Hereford office worker Samuel Tiler regularly spots Millie working her magic in the city center.
"The first time I saw her do it,I thought I might be going mad.I thought, 'Is that really a dog tidying up people's litter?'" he said of the dog. "I just wish people could be more thoughtful as it shouldn't take a dog to clear up after them," Tiler added. "If you've got a dog taking responsibility for the environment—surely we can do the same."
(1)What does the underlined word "bids" in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Commands.
B.Promises.
C.Misses.
D.Witnesses.
(2)When did Kitson begin to teach Millie the trick?
A.Before he bought his new home in Spain.
B.When Millie was less than eight months old.
C.After he saw a man training his dog.
D.After he moved to his new home in Britain.
(3)Why did Kitson take Millie home?
A.To show off to his neighbors.
B.To guard his house.
C.To accompany him and his wife.
D.To clean up the rubbish in the park.
(4)What can we learn from Tiler's words?
A.Dogs are really friendly to humans.

C.More dogs should be trained to help keep the environment tidy.

3.An exciting landing process of Chang'e-4 lunar probe (月球探測(cè)器)was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing,Jan.3,2019.It touched down on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a.m.Beijing Time,becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon's unknown side never visible from Earth.
China's Chang'e-4 probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite that provides a communication link with ground control.The relay satellite,named Queqiao,meaning Magpie Bridge,after a Chinese legend (傳說(shuō)),was launched on May 21,2018,and became the first communication satellite operating in the halo orbit,nearly 500,000 km from the earth.It can also provide communication for probes from other countries.The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments.The maximum distance between the satellite and the Chang'e-4 probe on the far side of the moon is 79,000 km.The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth.
The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption,as the earth's and moon's gravity balances its orbital moving.While in orbit,it can "see" both the earth and the far side of the moon.
The concept of using a relay satellite in the halo orbit was first put forward by U.S.space experts in the 1960s,but was realized by Chinese space engineers.
Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids (小行星) hitting the far side of the moon.To control the cost of the Chang'e-4 probe,the relay satellite was designed to be relatively small,weighing about 400 kg.
Researchers had just 30 months to develop the satellite,putting them under high pressure.To promote public interest in space exploration,the China National Space Administration invited people to write down their wishes for lunar and space exploration,and the relay satellite carries the names of tens of thousands of participants and their messages.
(1)What do we learn from the second paragraph?
A.The relay satellite was launched on Jan.3,2019.
B.Chang'e-4 probe was the first communication satellite.
C.The relay satellite only explores the far side of the moon.
D.The relay satellite can handle data from Chang'e-4 probe.
(2)Why was the size of the relay satellite relatively small?
A.To reduce the cost as much as possible.
B.To make it circle Moon for a longer time.
C.To avoid being crashed by other satellites.
D.To follow American space experts' advice.
(3)What made researchers sufFer from great stress?
A.Few people interested in the exploration on the moon.
B.The relay satellite carrying too much equipment.
C.Their lacking enough time to develop the relay satellite.
D.People's never being optimistic about the relay satellite.
(4)What is the main idea of the text?
A.China is a new space power after the USA.
B.Chang'e-4 probe lands on Moon's far side.
C.Chinese space engineers make much progress.
D.Space exploration is a dangerous challenge.組卷:5引用:3難度:0.6

When each person on the video got too "close",they could choose to stop the video.
The results showed that the participants kept each person at a distance of 60 percent further back if they hadn't gotten enough sleep.(4)
According to lead researcher Matthew Walker,the less sleep you get,the less you want to socialize with others.In turn,other people may think you're strange and stay away from you. (5)
