核心素养测评十六 Module 4 Sandstorms in Asia Ⅰ. 阅读理解 A China will launch two Mars missions in 2020 and 2028 as four deep space exploration missions are planned before 2030. ‎ In December this year, China’s Chang’e-4 lunar probe(空间探测器)will land in Aitken Basin of the lunar south pole region on the far side of the moon, which is a hot spot for scientific and space exploration. ‎ The fourth phase of the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program will include four missions before 2030, with a final goal to establish a research station on the Earth’s only natural satellite in the long term. ‎ The country will then launch its first Mars probe in 2020, which is expected to orbit, land and put a rover on the Red Planet in 2021, after ten months of flying. The second Mars probe is scheduled for 2028 to bring samples back to the Earth. China will also probe asteroids(小行星) and undertake an exploration mission to the Jupiter System around 2030. ‎ Li Guoping, director general of the Department of System Engineering at the China National Space Administration, said, “A new Long March 8 rocket using two 2. 25m-diameter solid-propelled boosters(助推器)is currently being researched and it will be launched in 2020. ”‎ The heavy-lift carrier rocket Long March 9 to be launched in 2028, will exceed 90 meters, and the rocket would have a core stage with a diameter of 10 meters, and be able to carry a payload of 140 tonnes into low-Earth orbit, five times that of the Long March 5, according to Li. ‎ He said, “China will strengthen its use of space technology to monitor the global climate and it plans to send into orbit two satellites. The country has also launched a program to study the probability of earthquake occurrence through electromagnetic monitoring. ”‎ Li stated, “China promotes cooperation between government and social capital 13‎ ‎ and will improve government procurement(采购) of commercial aerospace products and services. A new regulation regarding rocket launchers will be released shortly and the country supports open and shared commercial space launch sites. ”‎ ‎【文章大意】本文是一篇新闻报道。中国计划于2020年和2028年进行两项火星探测任务。‎ ‎1.

This is the world’s first case of applying 5G technology to disaster medical rescue. ‎ ‎　　According to the official Weibo account of Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital, at 1: 25 pm on 18 June, an ambulance equipped with a 5G emergency rescue system — the first of its kind in the country — carrying a medical team from Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital and engineers from China Mobile Sichuan Company and China Mobile (Chengdu) Industrial Research Institute assisting in the joint rescue efforts at Changning County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). At around 9: 30 pm, Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital launched a 5G real-time remote video consultation with its medical team on a patient admitted to Changning County Hospital of TCM for a suspected spleen rupture (脾脏破裂). ‎ ‎　　According to Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital, the 5G emergency rescue system, which puts artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (增强现实), virtual reality and drone (无人机) applications together, allows a series of medical checks including blood tests, electrocardiograms and ultrasounds (心电图和超声波) to be given to patients right away. The information can then be transferred back to the hospital in real time, which greatly saves time in rescuing patients. ‎ ‎　　The rescue system also helped a 72-year-old patient who had his bone broken in the earthquake. According to a report from Chinanews. com, a temporary ward supported by 5G technology was established at the epicenter of the disaster zone ‎ 13‎ for consultation with doctors from Chengdu, as the aged patient had a previous history of high blood pressure and cerebral infarction (脑梗塞), which made him need more careful treatment. ‎ ‎“The 5G-based network thoroughly solved the problems of poor definition and distortion (失真) of images, as well as interrupted signal transmission, ” said Li Wei, director of the emergency center of Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital. ‎ ‎【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。2019年6月17日, 四川长宁县发生地震, 四川省人民医院在全球范围内首次将5G技术用于灾难医学救援。‎ ‎5.

It forms when oxides of sulfur (硫) and nitrogen (氮) combine with atmospheric moisture to yield sulfuric and nitric acids, which may then be carried long distances from their source before they drop in the form of rain. The pollution may also take the form of snow or fog or fall down in dry forms. In fact, although the term“acid rain” has been in use for more than a century—it is derived from atmospheric studies that were made in the region of Manchester, England—the more accurate scientific term would be “acid deposition(沉降)”. The dry form of such deposition is just as damaging to the environment as the liquid form. ‎ The problem of acid rain originated with the Industrial Revolution, and it has ‎ 13‎ been growing ever since. Its effects have long been recognized in heavily industrialized areas. The danger of acid rain, however, has become evident only in recent decades. One large area that has been studied extensively is northern Europe, where acid rain has injured crops and forests, and threatened lives in freshwater lakes. In 1984, for example, environmental reports indicated that almost half of the trees in Germany’s Black Forest had been damaged by acid rain. The northeastern United States and eastern Canada have also been particularly affected by this form of pollution. Damage has also been detected in other areas of these countries and other regions of the world. ‎ Industrial emissions(释放) have been blamed as the major cause of acid rain. Because the chemical reactions involved in the production of acid rain in the atmosphere are complex and as yet little understood. Industries have tended to challenge such assessments and to stress the need for further studies and because of the cost of pollution reduction, governments have tended to support this attitude. ‎ ‎【文章大意】本文介绍了酸雨, 它的形成以及危害等。‎ ‎1. From the first sentence of the passage, we learn that 　　　　.  ‎ A. acid rain has caused air pollution B. acid rain has caused widespread environmental damage C. acid rain has become a much-studied subject D. acid rain travels in all directions before it rains down ‎【解析】选B。细节理解题。文章第一句的意思是: 酸雨是一种空气污染的形式, 由于它所造成的广泛的环境破坏, 目前它已成为了激烈争议的话题。由此可以得出结论: 酸雨给环境带来了大面积的破坏。只有B项符合原意。‎ ‎【误区警示】干扰选项是A。A项“酸雨引起空气污染”, 这与原文酸雨本身是一种空气污染有出入。‎ ‎2. According to the passage, acid fog 　　　　.  ‎ A. falls down when the atmosphere is moist B. is not as frequent as acid rain C. often falls in the region of Manchester, England D. is as damaging as acid rain 13‎ ‎【解析】 D。细节理解题。根据关键词acid fog 定位第一段最后一句The dry form of such deposition is just as damaging to the environment as the liquid form. 干性的酸性沉降对环境的破坏作用与液体形式的一样大。这里所说的“固态”形式指上文提到的酸雾、酸雪等。故答案为D项。‎ ‎3. The second paragraph is mainly about 　　　　.  ‎ A. the origin of acid rain B. the cause of acid rain C. the formation of acid rain D. the widespread damage of acid rain ‎【解析】选D。主旨大意题。根据上下文推断, 本段的中心句是该段的The danger of acid rain, however, has become evident only in recent decades. 然而, 酸雨的危害直到近几十年才引起人们的注意。所以这里强调的是酸雨的危害, 而非酸雨的来历、酸雨的诱因或者酸雨的形成。故答案为D项。‎ ‎4. According to the passage, governments 　　　　.  ‎ A. deny that industries cause acid rain B. admit that they are only partly responsible C. claim that they are the main sources of pollution D. think that the cause of acid rain needs further study ‎【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据题干关键词government定位最后一段to stress the need for further studies and because of the cost of pollution reduction, governments have tended to support this attitude, 由此可知, 政府认为酸雨的成因需要进一步研究。故D项为答案。‎ ‎【知识拓展】背景链接 酸雨正式的名称为酸性沉降, 是指pH值小于5. 6的雨、雪、雾、 雹等大气降水。它可分为“湿沉降”与“干沉降”两大类, 前者指的是所有气状污染物或粒状污染物, 随着雨、雪、雾或雹等降水形态而落到地面, 后者是指在不降雨的日子, 从空中降下来的灰尘所带的一些酸性物质。‎ 酸雨的危害是多方面的, 包括对人体健康、生态系统和建筑设施都有直接和潜在的危害。酸雨可使儿童免疫功能下降, 慢性咽炎、支气管哮喘发病率增加, 同时可使老人眼部、呼吸道患病率增加。‎ 13‎ 13‎
