China has completed its home-grown BeiDou Navigation (导航) Satellite System (BDS) with the successful launch of two more BDS-3 satellites, 19 in all, and has started providing services to countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) since the end of 2018. The BDS, which will compete against the US’ Global Positioning System (GPS), will provide high-precision, reliable positioning, navigation and timing services anywhere in the world by the end of 2020. The Belt and Road Initiative is an ambitious effort to improve regional cooperation and connectivity in a trans-continental range. The initiative aims to strengthen infrastructure (基础设施), trade, and investment links between China and some 65 other countries. It is also expected to increase Beijing’s influence in these countries. “This is a key step for the BDS developing from a Chinese home system to a regional and then a global navigation system,” said Yang Changfeng, chief designer of the BeiDou system. China plans to launch another 11 BDS-3 satellites between the end of 2018 and 2020. China developed the BDS through a unique technological approach, contributing Chinese wisdom to the theory and construction of international satellite navigation systems. Altogether 18 BDS satellites have been sent into space in 2018, making this year the most intensive launch of the BDS satellites. They improved their work efficiency by reforming the management process. The number of satellite staff at the launch center has been reduced by nearly half, and the testing time before launch has been shortened by nearly a third. In the CAST production base in Beijing, several BDS satellites are being manufactured at the same time. They try to improve intelligent manufacturing capability, and cut down production times. Construction of the BDS-3 system has accelerated. Once the BDS is fully completed, it will be the fourth global satellite navigation system after the US GPS system, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo. India too, is building its navigational system called the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS), with an operational name of NAVIC. 【1】When can the BDS offer global services? A. In 2018. B. In 2019. C. In 2020. D. In 2025. 【2】What can the BDS do now? A. Take the place of the GPS of the USA. B. Watch anyone anywhere in the world. C. Control the Belt and Road countries. D. Serve the Belt and Road Initiative. 【3】What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The unique characters of the BDS. B. The Chinese technology of the BDS. C. The efforts of the staff of the BDS. D. The difficulties the BDS has to deal with. 【4】What can be the best title for the text? A. China’s BDS is approaching its goal step by step B. China’s BDS has become the fourth global satellite navigation system C. China’s BDS helps BRI increase Beijing’s international influence D. The unique technological approach makes China’s BDS outstanding |

Three boys were enjoying themselves in their hometown of Bovina, Mississippi. However, their lives were turned upside down when they discovered the jawbone of a Mastodon (齿乳象). Brothers Shawn and Caid Sellers and cousin Michael Mahalitc found the prehistoric bone in a piece of earth that was recently plowed (犁、耕). “I thought it was a log,” Caid said. “I tried to pick it up and it was really heavy and I saw teeth on it.” The bone weighed about 50 pounds. They eventually got the bone to their home and fitted it in their tub (浴盆), but it took their collective strength, might and a golf cart, to carry the large Mastodon bone. “They didn’t expect to find that,” Michael’s mom said. “Now that they have, I believe that they will be more aware of their surroundings and what they’re digging up when they are digging and playing.” “We’ve gotten a lot of petrified (石化的) wood and Civil War relics from the area and that’s what I thought it was,” the brothers’ mother said. “This is our first set of teeth we’ve found. So we thought it was their imagination. We were quite surprised to see that it was not their imagination.” They were exploring near the brothers’ home. Lo and behold (真想不到), they saw what they thought resembled a fossil. It was the curator of paleontology (古生物负责人) of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, George Phillips, who first identified the bone as a “very mature individual.” The Mastodon was a mammal who lived during the prehistoric times. They had long tusks and trunks, like elephants. They were clearly different from their modern-day counterparts, as well as woolly mammoths (猛犸). 【1】How did they find the jawbone of a Mastodon? A. With great efforts. B. By chance. C. Instructed by an expert. D. Through imagination. 【2】At first the brothers’ mother thought the jawbone was________. A. from people who died in the Civil War B. the bone from a very mature individual C. like a log or something D. the prehistoric bone 【3】The discovery of the jawbone of a Mastodon is important mainly because it________. A. helps people to know more about the Civil War B. teaches kids to be more aware of their surroundings C. promotes the research on more prehistoric creatures D. attracts the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science 【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the article? A. Prehistoric Bones Recently Found in Mississippi B. Not Petrified Wood Nor Civil War Relics C. First Identifying Bone as a “Very Mature Individual” D. Unexpectedly Discovering Mastodon Jawbone |
