  Question 1:What are scientists planning to do?

  Question 2:Why did scientists hoose to set up a 4G network in their mission?

  [主旨内容]

  一个不超过一千克的小型设备将能帮助科学家们实现在2019年前在月球上覆盖4G网络。该举措一旦成功,将实现在月球上初次覆盖手机移动网络的任务,支持地月之间高清视频直播和数据传递。2019年,科学家们将从美国的卡纳维拉尔角发射一枚X猎鹰9号太空火箭以实现4G任务,此举意在建立月球上的测试通信网络。从事该项目的科学家选择在月球上建立4G网络而非5G网络,因为5G网络仍在测试阶段,这意味着 5G网络可能还不够稳定,无法在月球表面上运营。

  [参考答案句]

  1.A device that weighs less than one kilogram is part of a mission that will allow scientists to deliver fourth generation or 4G mobile coverage to the moon in 2019。

  2.This is because fifth generation networks are still in testing and trial phases。 This means that a 5G network may not yet be stable enough to work on the moon’s surface。

  [参考答案句]

  Question 24: What should parents do for the success of their children’s education?

  Question 25: What does the passage say is the key factor of loinbo’s academic success?

  [主旨内容]

  孩子刚上学时,家长们的兴奋中往往掺杂着一丝丝难过。对孩子来说,这是一场新的冒险,他们要和新的小伙伴们玩耍互动,开启全新的征程。但是,上学并非孩子最早的教育。自孩子出生以来,父母就是影响力最大的启蒙老师。孩子们在家中所学的一切都将超过之后任何时期的任何教育。孩子们自然而然会模仿大人的行为举止,这将影响到他们在学校的学习行为。优秀的教育应该是家校结合。除了学校教育,孩子的家庭生活也非常重要,成为其学业成功的决定性因素。也许孩子开始新的旅程,但大人们的工作远未结束。

  [参考答案句]
