Recent decades have seen China make many scientific achievements. One of them is the development of its space program. Chinese people have gone to space while Chinese robots have landed on the moon and soon will reach Mars.
On Oct 15, 2003, the nation carried out its first manned space mission, sending Yang Liwei on a 21-hour journey around Earth in the Shenzhou V spacecraft. Chinese astronauts have traveled more than 46 million kilometers in
space and conducted more than 100 experiments. According to government plans, the nation will start putting together its first manned space station around 2020. The multi-module station, named Tiangong, or Heavenly Palace, is expected to be up and running by 2022. It's planned to have a useful life of about 15 years, says the China Academy of Space Technology.
China has launched four lunar probes (探测器) since 2007. The latest and most remarkable, the ongoing Chang'e 4 mission, is the first attempt by any nation to observe the moon's far side, which never faces Earth. In early December 2018, the Chang'e 4 robotic probe was lifted atop a Long March 3B rocket, making a soft landing on the moon's far side on Jan 3. The next step in China's lunar exploration agenda, the Chang'e 5 mission, is coming up. It will land a rover (月球车) to collect soil samples and bring them back to Earth. If the mission is successful, it will make China the third nation to bring back lunar samples, after the United States and Russia.
Now, China aims to explore deep space. Mars will be the key concentration of China's future deep-space plans. Researchers are preparing for the country's first exploratory mission to the red planet, scheduled for 2020. According to the China National Space Administration (CNSA), China's first Martian probe will look at the Martian soil, environment, atmosphere and water. In the next part of China's Mars program, a larger probe will go to the red planet around 2030,according to Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the space administration.

27、You may think that choosing to lose weight requires a lot of effort and pain.
The truth is, you can lose weight, feel healthier, and look amazing, all by doing small things every day. 【1】 When you’re ready to lose a few pounds, check out these five small everyday things you can do.
【2】
Believe it or not, the diameter of your dinner plate can have a dramatic impact on how much food you eat at any time of the day. The bigger your plate, the more you can fit on it, and the more you put into your body.
Use a Food Diary or App
It’s so easy to sit at your desk or on the couch eating up an entire bag of potato chips, or a full packet of cookies.【3】
If you keep a food diary or app outlining what you eat, how much of it, and how many calories it has, you may be more inclined to control your food intake.
Drink More Water
【4】Your body needs more water than you’re probably giving it, and you may be reading the signs all wrong. Keep a water bottle on hand, drinking water throughout the day. By doing so, you can control your appetite while also making sure your body is not lack of water.
Exercise More
It seems like a given – you exercise, you lose weight. However, it’s not only those 10-mile runs that make all the difference. 【5】 For instance, park further away at the grocery store, take the steps instead of the elevator and jog on the spot during TV ad breaks of your favorite show.

28、 Nowadays,cats and dogs are popular pets. However,when it comes to the relationship with their owners,cats are usually seen as unfriendly and distant with respect to their owners,compared with dogs. It is usual for them to be indifferent(漠不关心的)when humans call their names. Are we sure that they don't understand human voices at all?
A recent study published in the journal of Scientific Reports suggests that we've been fooled.
Japanese scientists found that cats can recognize their names if their owners regularly use them.
In the study,scientists studied 78 domestic cats. They played recordings of voices of their owners saying five words: the first four words they heard were some nouns that resembled their names while the final word they heard was just the cat's name. Then they observed the cats' responses,if there were any.
Most cats moved their ears or heads when they heard their names,while they made no response to other words which sounded seemingly like their names.
That suggested,"cats were paying attention to you,what you say and what you do,"John Bradshaw,an expert on human-animal relations at the University of Bristol,UK,told The Times.
“And cats were just as good as dogs at learning,"she added.
In the study,when people called their names,cats often connected the words with rewards,such as food or play,or with punishments such as having a bath or going to the vet. This made cats sensitive(敏感的)to words. After the cats had been called several times,they could respond to the words.
But the scientists added that while dogs have evolved to follow their owners' orders,cats have not. Although cats appear to be distant,they do have special relationships with their owners.
According to study co-author Atsuko Saito,cats have evolved not to show their emotions as a survival method. One example is illness,which they tend to hide because in the wild,no one can save them and hunters are more likely to pay attention to them, Saito explained.
However,technology may help bridge the communication gap between our feline(猫科的)friends and us. There are now mobile apps available to explain what their meows mean. So,the next time you hear "meow,meow",your cat may be telling you:“Hi,you haven't cleaned my liter box recently.”
【1】The underlined word “resembled” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by______.
A.were limited to B.were similar to
C.were different from D.were away from
【2】The cats appear distant to their human owners in that______.
A.they are not sensitive to human voices
B.they want to protect themselves from harm
C.they always connect words with punishments
D.they failing to pay attention to their surroundings
【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.It's important to communicate with cats.
B.It's difficult to understand the cats' needs.
C.Cats have a good relationship with their owners.
D.We may know cats better with the help of technology.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Cats do understand their owners. B.Cats are cleverer than dogs.
C.Cats are distant from their owners. D.Cats show respect for their owners.
29、 There are no hard and fast rules that say you must exercise in the morning to reach your weight loss or fitness goals. 【1】 Here are some tips to keep you active and ready for your nighttime workouts.
Work out Close to the Office
Ideally, you would want to wear your workout clothes under your work clothes to keep you in the mindset all day. But, if your job requires you to wear heels and a skirt or a suit and tie, this might not be reasonable. Instead, bring your workout clothes to work with you and change before you leave the office. 【2】
Plan Your Evening Meal
If you are responsible for making dinner in your household, don’t let that be an excuse to skip the gym. This is why slow-cookers were invented. 【3】 Having a meal waiting at home for you not only takes away the stress of planning a meal when you walk in the door, but it decreases the chances of you blowing your workout.
Choose a Workout for Your Mood
【4】 Consider something different, maybe the stair climber. Walk around the gym and see what attracts you, forcing yourself to take part in a workout that doesn’t attract your mood will only lead to a waste of your time.
【5】
While there are some people who can walk into the gym and just get started most people need a project. Sometime, during the day when you have a moment, make a list of the exercises you hope to accomplish.
A.Plan your workout.
B.Take a special class.
C.There are many benefits for working out at night.
D.Working out at night is a better choice for a lot of people.
E.They were designed to help people manage their time and create healthy meals.
F.The surest way to fail at a workout is to choose something you sincerely hate.
G.Place your gym bag or your clothes where you can see them all day.
