21、   In ancient times, our ancestors relied on stars to guide them on a clear night. Today, we have navigational systems to help us find our way, with the latest being the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS).

The BDS is entirely built by Chinese engineers. With the launch of the last satellite from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center on June 23, the global network of 59 satellites has been completed. On July 31, Beidou started providing full-scale global services. It’s difficult to imagine the dramatic impact those satellites, orbiting the Earth, have on our daily lives.

When you unlock one of Hellobike’s bicycles, you are using the BDS. The popular bike-sharing company came out with two new bike models this year that are equipped with the positioning service. “The intelligent lock on each bike receives Beidou satellite signals and sends positioning information to the data center, which will help collect big data on the bikes and estimate users’ riding demands in advance according to the data,” Chu Yiqun, a manager of Hellobike told Xinhua News Agency. Users can also find shared bikes more accurately thanks to Beidou’s global positioning accuracy of 2.34 meters.

However, the BDS doesn’t just work one way. As the country’s largest space-based system and one of four global navigation networks, along with the United States’ GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo, Beidou adopts a unique two-way communication system, including its ability to receive messages sent by people from areas with poor communication signals. Obviously, this exclusive function isn’t designed for users to chat online. Instead, it plays a role when disasters occur and communications are blocked.

After the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, all ground-based communication facilities were interrupted. Though the first generation of Beidou could only send 120 characters in a single message at that time, communication between affected areas and rescue centers was successful. Now, Beidou’s messaging capacity has been increased to 1,200 Chinese characters in a single message. It is widely used in disaster alarms, automatic identification and information release.

As Sun Jiadong, former chief designer of the BDS said: “The application of Beidou is merely limited by imagination.”

【1】What can we know about Beidou from the passage?

A.It’s able to provide worldwide coverage for navigation.

B.Its last satellite was launched in Xichang on July 31.

C.It’s one of the five global navigation networks.

D.It’s jointly developed by Chinese and foreign engineers.

【2】Why is Hellobike mentioned in paragraph 3?

A.To present the benefits and limitations of the BDS.

B.To highlight the high positioning accuracy of the BDS.

C.To show how the BDS makes people’s daily lives easier.

D.To explain the unique way in which the BDS works.

【3】What is the function of Beidou’s two-way communication system?

A.To collect instant feedback sent by global users.

B.To allow users to chat online more conveniently.

C.To make communication more fun and efficient.

D.To help people when communication signals are weak.

【4】What do Sun Jiadong’s words in the last paragraph imply?

A.Beidou stimulates users’ imagination. B.Beidou may be more helpful than we know.

C.Beidou is currently limited in application. D.Beidou needs to be further perfected.

23、   A group of Northern Ireland schoolchildren warmed the hearts of Chinese guests on a cold December day when they performed Chinese songs. The children had rehearsed (预演)for six weeks, with the help of Mandarin (汉语)teachers from the University of Ulster's Confucius Institute (阿尔斯特大学孔子学院).

The performance on Friday, inside Belfast's elegant and historic Parliament Buildings, preceded (预备)a welcome dinner ahead of the third UK - China Regional Leaders Meeting on Saturday that was attended by more than 100 leaders from China. As trade relations between China and Northern Ireland grow, Mandarin has become more popular in the province. Friday's performance was given by children from Millburn Primary School and Grosvenor Grammar School, which both offer Mandarin lessons, thanks to the local Confucius Institute that was established in 2012. From its start five years ago, which saw two Mandarin teachers support 169 students, the University of Ulster's Confucius Institute has grown to comprise (由……构成)51 teachers and 19,000 registered students. A quarter of the institutes 161 partner primary and secondary schools have made Mandarin learning compulsory (必修) for certain age groups. And students also gain exposure to Chinese culture, including calligraphy (书法),Chinese character and music.

"Our Confucius Institute was established partly in response to existing demand from schools," said Liu Yan, director of the University of Ulster's Confucius Institute. While preparing to open the institute, her team sent out a survey to 1,241 primary and secondary schools in Northern Ireland. Around 500 responded by saying they would like to offer Mandarin lessons.

24、In the 1940s, Josephine Baker, who was a big part of the new jazz genre and culture and had a diverse group of fans, was one of the most famous women in France. The French people adored her as much as she loved France. So when World War Il threw France into great danger, she decided to do whatever she could to help the nation that had given her so much.

In 1940, when armed German troops marched into Paris, some French people established a secret alliance (同盟）,known as the French Resistance. The group worked for the defense of France by assisting the European and American armies in the fight against the Germans.

As a member of the Resistance, Baker applied herself devotedly to the cause. The tasks she took up proved to be valuable. She collected coded messages written on her sheets of music and then relayed them to other members. At the same time, taking advantage of her fame, Baker provided shelter and goods for the Resistance members. It would have been dangerous if the Germans had found them.

Baker's final task was critical. She made it her mission to entertain German politicians and army members, whom she lured (引诱）in with her promises of a good show. While pleasing them with her singing and dancing, Baker, equipped with a small notebook at these concerts, listened for and wrote down details about the war. She then sorted the details and turned in reports to the Resistance.

Some thought Baker's fame would be a problem. The Germans knew who she was, but they didn't think she was smart enough to work for the Resistance. So she could get information from the Germans easily, which helped the Resistance and the French army save lives and win the war. Baker had a big influence on the Resistance's work. When she died, the army and the French people held a special ceremony to honor her contribution.

25、For centuries, time was measured by the position of the sun with the use of sundials. Noon was recognized when the sun was the highest in the sky, and cities would set their clock by this apparent _______ time, even though some cities would often be on a slightly different time. Daylight Saving Time (DST), sometimes called summer time, was _______ to make better use of daylight. Thus, clocks are set forward one hour in the spring to move an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening and then set back one hour in the fall to return to _______ daylight.

Benjamin Franklin first conceived the idea of daylight saving during his term as an American delegate in Paris in 1784 and wrote about it _______ in his essay, “An Economical Project.” It is said that Franklin awoke early one morning and was surprised to see the sunlight at such an hour. Always the _______, Franklin believed the practice of moving the time could save on the use of candlelight, as candles were expensive at the time.

In England, builder William Willett (1857–1915) became a strong supporter for Daylight Saving Time upon noticing blinds(百叶窗) of many houses were _______ on an early sunny morning. Willet believed everyone, including himself, would appreciate longer hours of light in the evenings. In 1909, Sir Robert Pearce _______ a bill in the House of Commons to make it obligatory(义务) to _______ the clocks. A bill was drafted and introduced into Parliament several times but met with great opposition, mostly from farmers. _______, in 1925, it was decided that summer time should begin on the day following the third Saturday in April and close after the first Saturday in October.

The U.S. Congress passed the Standard Time Act of 1918 to establish standard time and _______ and set Daylight Saving Time across the continent. This act also devised(制定) five time _______ throughout the United States: Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, and Alaska. The first time zone was set on “the mean astronomical time of the seventy-fifth degree of longitude west from Greenwich” (England). In 1919, this act was abandoned.

President Roosevelt established year-round Daylight Saving Time (also called War Time) from 1942–1945. However, after this period, each state _______ its own DST, which proved to be _______ to television and radio broadcasting and transportation. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson created the Department of Transportation and signed the Uniform Time Act. As a result, the Department of Transportation was given the responsibility for the time laws. During the oil embargo(禁运) and energy crisis of the 1970s, President Richard Nixon _______ DST through the Daylight Saving Time Energy Act of 1973 to conserve energy further.
