Earlier this year， China achieved a new milestone （里程碑） in space research． On January 3， 2019， Chang'e﹣4 became the first lunar probe （月球探测器） in history to successfully land on the far side of the moon．

    The Earth's gravity （重力） slows the moon's rotation （自转）， matching it to the speed of its orbit （公转）． Therefore， the far side of the moon is almost "dark" and has never been seen． It's this sense of the unknown that makes the far side of the moon such an interesting place for scientific and space research． Being blown by solar （太阳的） winds， the far side may have the special minerals （矿物质 ）． For this reason， Chang'e﹣4 will study the effect of solar winds on the lunar surface and any mineral found by the spacecraft． Chang'e﹣4 is also carrying flower seeds， potatoes and silkworm eggs to see whether life is possible on the moon． If it is， then the moon will become a possible choice for space travel in the future．

    However， research of the "dark" side isn't easy． As the far side is blocked（阻断） off from us， radio noise coming off Earth is also blocked． This is why China's relay satellite （中继卫星） Queqiao was sent up in May， 2018． Thanks to Queqiao， the communication problem between Earth and Chang'e﹣4 has been well solved．

    Power supply （电源供应） is also a challenge to the task． Chang'e﹣4 gets energy from the sun through its solar panels． As we know， a lunar day has the length （长度） of 28 Earth days． After Chang'e﹣4 was sent up on December 8， 2018， it took the probe over 20 days to orbit the moon to be in a position to be able to land in moon daylight and use its solar panels．

    Luckily， everything goes well， Chang'e﹣4 has worked on the "dark" side for over 5 months． It has sent back many photos of the far side of the moon and has been used to carry out some scientific experiments．

    The New York Times used the word " groundbreaking" to praise the task and wrote that "it will offer help to the history and development of the moon"．

（1）When was Chang'e﹣4 sent up？　　

A． In May， 2018．

B． On December 8， 2018．

C． On January 3， 2019．

（2）The main tasks of Chang'e﹣4 don't include　　．

A． studying if life is possible on the moon

B． studying the effect of solar winds on the lunar surface

C． solving the communication problem between Earth and other probes

D． researching any mineral found by the spacecraft

（3）The meaning of the underlined word "groundbreaking" in the last paragraph is the closest to "　　"．

C． risky

D． pioneering

One sunny afternoon， a young deer and an old deer were（1）　　 under a tree in the forest． Suddenly， in the distance， they （2）　　 some sounds of dogs' barking．

    The old deer stood up quickly． He felt nervous and （3）　　． He said to the young deer， "Be quick! It's time to find a place to hide in． The barking dogs are fierce（凶猛的） and they will （4）　　 us． "

    The young deer laughed and said， "Why should we hide from the dogs？ We are bigger and（5）　　than them． We can toss（扔）them aside with our big antlers（角）． We should fight with them bravely． "

[1] In today's world， the most successful companies are the ones who understand how important it is to make contacts（联系）around the world． However， doing business in different countries isn't simple． It is important to know the local customs and traditions of the people you are dealing with， which is the best way to impress（使…印象深刻）your hosts．

[3] In Europe or the USA， business is seldom discussed into the evening． However， it is important to be on time for a meeting． If you are ①　late　， your hosts may think you do not care． In fact， it is better to arrive at least ten minutes before the meeting starts． This way， you can show how keen（强烈的） you are to do business with them．②You will also have time to talk with your hosts before you sit down to discuss business．

[4] However， in many countries meetings may not start on time． There are many ③　reasons　for this， such as transport difficulties， unusual weather and the breakdown of cars．

Sometimes the time of day is also important． In South America and many countries in southern Europe， people have a short sleep after lunch． Therefore， if you try to arrange（安排） a meeting for

the early afternoon， you may find that not many people will ④　come　， or that your hosts will be unhappy．
