　　News Report 1

　　A device that weighs less than one kilogram is part of a mission that will allow [Q1] scientists to deliver fourth generation or 4G mobile coverage to the moon in 2019. If successful, the tiny device will provide the moon with its [Q1] first ever mobile phone network. The lunar network will support high definition streaming of video and data between the moon and earth. The network is part of a mission to the moon. This is a project with the goal of landing the first privately paid for mission to the moon. The 4G mission is set to launch from Cape Canaveral in the United States on a space X Falcon 9 rocket in 2019. Mission to the moon intends to establish and test the first elements of a communications network on the moon. [Q2] The scientists working on the project opted to build a 4G rather than a fifth generation or 5G network. 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

　　Question 1：What are scientists planning to do?

　　【答案】Set up a mobile phone network on the moon.

　　【解析】原文中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. 及后半部分first ever mobile phone network 关键信息词有提及，或者根据句意进行判断。

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

　　【答案】It is stable.

　　【解析】该题难度相对较大，原文最后The scientists working on the project opted to build a 4G rather than a fifth generation or 5G network. 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。并未直接提及4G，而是从5G 不稳定的角度进行陈述。

　　【总体评述】该新闻跟6月份考查的话题大体一致，都侧重对月球进一步的科技开发。两道题都需要各位同学有稍许的理解能力。

　　News Report 2

　　It’s responded to a fire Wednesday night at an abandoned mall in Heywood. The fire was reported at 9:26 pm at an old shopping center on Michigan Avenue near St. Mary’s Church. Six fire engines, two trucks and two chiefs responded to the scene. [Q3] Crews had the fire under control in about 45 minutes and managed to contain the fire to its point of origin. There were some people inside the building when the fire broke out but there were no reports of any injuries. Fire investigators have responded to the scene but have not yet determined the cause of the fire. Firefighters will remain on the scene until later this morning to ensure that the fire doesn’t start up again. The shopping mall had not been in use since 2002. [Q4] In 2014 City Hall developed a plan to knock down the building and replace it with affordable housing. However the plan was dropped due to lack of funds.

　　Question 3：What does the news item say about the fire?

　　【答案】No injuries were yet reported.

　　【析】原文中Crews had the fire under control in about 45 minutes and managed to contain the fire to its point of origin. There were some people inside the building when the fire broke out but there were no reports of any injuries. 关于这场火灾报道的内容很多很杂，ACD选项都是根据其中断章取义设置的干扰选项。

　　Question4：What had City Hall planned to do?

　　【答案】Pull down the deserted shopping mall.

　　【解析】原文中In 2014 City Hall developed a plan to knock down the building and replace it with affordable housing. 政府提出了拆除并改造成住宅。可见A选项无中生有C选项过度补充D选项不符合原文。

　　【总体评述】

　　此篇新闻报道了一家老商业中心发生火灾的情况。考生可以预想自己应该抓住哪些重点。比如：时间，地点，现场情况，有无伤亡，消防员的情况等等。根据这些常识对题目做出预判。

　　News Report 3

　　Potato chips in Japan are being sold for 6 times their normal price. [Q5] This is after the country’s main manufacturer stopped sales due to a potato shortage. Storms and floods and its main potato growing region last year caused the worst harvest and more than 3 decades. Local media reports suggest Calbee and its main rival Koike-ya are halting almost 50 products. “We don’t know when we’ll be able to restart”, a company spokesman said. Snack lovers are panic buying and many supermarket shelves are bare. [Q6] Japanese laws limit the amount of imported potatoes that can be used in Japanese made products. Japan says fear of disease is its main reason to block fresh imports. It still only allows potatoes from selected US states. This is only at certain times and on condition that they are processed at factories based near Japanese ports. [Q7] But global warming has raised the possibility that domestic produce could be seriously affected by rare weather events more often.

　　Question 5：What problem is Japan facing?

　　【答案】Insufficient potato supply.

　　【解析】原文提及This is after the country’s main manufacturer stopped sales due to a potato shortage. 对potato shortage进行了同义替换。

　　Question 6：Why does Japan limit the import of potatoes?

　　【答案】It is afraid of the spread of disease.

　　【解析】原文明确的细节信息Japan says fear of disease is its main reason to block fresh imports。

　　Question 7：What might affect Japanese domestic produce?

　　【答案】Global warming.

　　【解析】原文最后But global warming has raised the possibility that domestic produce could be seriously affected by rare weather events more often。

　　【总体评述】该新闻侧重在于时事话题，由于天气原因对于农业产生的影响，以土豆为具体例子，用词相对来说比较生活化。
