As the secnd-largest cuntry in the wrld, Canada has breathtaking landscapes, amazing scenery and abundant wildlife. During the winter mnths, the beautiful green plants get cvered in snw.

When yu lk at the extreme cnditins f the envirnment n the Mn, yu’ll understand why astrnauts have fund n signs f life. First, the climate varies sharply frm 132 °C n the equatr t between -30 °C and -50 °C at the ples. Add t that the sharp mn dust that flies abut and the lack f atmsphere t prtect yu frm slar radiatin, and it isn’t exactly a trip t the beach.
That said, initial space settlements wn’t be as cmfrtable as thse n the Earth. Tugh inflatable (可充气的) tent-like structures that culd huse the astrnauts wuld need t be prtected frm harmful radiatin. Fr pwer surces, NASA researchers are lking int slar pwer technlgy. Althugh nights n the Mn can last 334 hurs, researchers hpe t build an energy strage system t keep as much energy as pssible when the sun shines n the Mn.
One utline fr space settlement published by NASA says that average peple, nt just specially-trained astrnauts, culd ne day live n spacecraft that rbit the Earth. Given the recent breakthrughs in lwer-cst reusable space vehicles that are fueling plans fr the space turism industry, NASA predicts that such livable spacecraft culd be in existence in 50 years.
As with the lunar base, the main prblem attached t livable spacecraft is mney. Private flights int space rbit have cst $20 millin fr ne persn. In additin t the prblem f getting there, migrating t uter space means a huge risk. Humans can’t breathe freely utside f the Earth’s atmsphere, and the amunt f slar heat can kill us. We wuld have t create well-prtected areas with xygen t survive.
We’ll have a better idea in the next decade abut the pssibility f these space dreams turning int reality.
4. N signs f life are fund n the Mn because ______
A. n mn dust flies abutB. the temperature changes little
C. there isn’t enugh atmsphereD. the slar radiatin is nt strng
5. We can knw frm paragraph 2 that ______
A. n structures wuld need t be prtected
B. first space settlements will be cmfrtable enugh
C. a system is expected t be built t keep atmsphere
D. many prblems remain t be slved-with space settlement
6. What’s the main prblem that livable spacecraft face?
A. Mney.B. Curage.C. Settlement.D. Atmsphere.
7. What is this article abut?
A. Science.B. Art.C. Sprt.D. Entertainment.

It is smetimes jkingly said that yu may skip a meal a day withut any bad effect but skip using yur WeChat fr an hur and yu will feel distinctly unwell. It is an acknwledgement f the fact that the app is n lnger nly a fun tl but an essential part f life fr millins.
Launched in January 2011, this messaging, scial media and mbile payment app tday has mre than 1 billin individual users. Peple use it fr everything, frm applying fr a business license t bking a hspital appintment t keeping up with family and friends, shpping and paying bills — activities that are part and parcel f ur everyday life.
When it was first intrduced, WeChat was nly an app supprting vice, vide, picture and text messages between tw persns r amng a grup. But tday it has becme ubiquitus.
In the past, peple carried their wallet and keys with them wherever they went; tday, a smart phne with WeChat installed is all they need in daily life. Its functins like Mments and mini prgrams and the fficial WeChat accunts f gvernment agencies and cmpanies have made cmmunicatin and public services accessible and cnvenient like never befre.
WeChat is als widely used by enterprises (公司). Figures frm Tencent shw there are arund 15 millin WeChat fficial accunts, which enjy 5 billin fllwers. Mst businesses use their WeChat grups as a standard marketing kit. This has greatly reduced advertising, marketing and cmmunicatin csts.
Hwever, there are cncerns abut the dwnsides f WeChat, such as addictin amng primary schl children. Equally serius is the misuse f WeChat fr cheating r ther crimes. Hwever, it has t be kept in mind that these falluts are nt really the fault f WeChat, but due t the misuse f the app.
If we learn t temper ur use f messaging apps with prudence (谨慎) and pragmatism (实用主义), we culd be lking frward t yet new cnveniences and experience in this decade with the rapid develpment f 5G technlgy and artificial intelligence. Ultimately, the chice is urs, whether t use WeChat r any ther new inventin, wisely r wantnly (不受约束地).

The Yellw River is the cradle where China’s civilizatin first came int being. And fld cntrl and preventin have always been key t the well-being f the peple living alng it. Nw, scientists can better wrk n these issues by giving the river a digital twin.
The digital twin f the Yellw River uses varius technlgies, including big data, artificial intelligence, and the internet f things. Instruments set up alng the river cllect and transfer infrmatin t the center. Based n the infrmatin, a 3D mdel f the river is presented n the cmputer screen. It’s like the Yellw River has a twin that reflects its real cnditins.
One big breakthrugh in the river’s digital management is “smart stnes”. Accrding t Wang Qin, a lead researcher at the Infrmatin Center f Yellw River in Henan Prvince, a smart stne is a water-prf stne-shaped instrument with chips, a battery, and a signal transmitter. They are buried in imprtant dike (堤坝) lcatins t recrd and reprt the mvement f dike stnes. “Upn feeling mvement f the dike stnes, the smart stne sends an alarm t the center fr quick respnse,” Wang said.
“In the past, researchers had t learn the cnditins f the dike n the spt by themselves, putting their lives at risk,” said Zha Xia, an fficial frm the Infrmatin Center f Yellw River in Henan Prvince. “Nw the smart stnes can d this fr us, mre safely, quickly, and accurately.”
And in the sky, drnes (无人机) are flying. On the rutes designed by engineers, the drnes becme expert mnitrs f the river, lking at its dikes and fld preventin prjects. Accrding t Shen Lin frm the Yellw River Cnservancy Cmmissin, thanks t the drnes, researchers at the cmmand center can get first-hand phts and infrmatin. “Researchers then update the 3D mdel accrding t the changes the drnes reprted. The new updated mdel helps us test ur fldwater release plans in case we ever need t batten dwn the hatches (未雨绸缪),” said Shen.
Under the water and up in the sky, intelligence systems are helping t prtect the Yellw River Basin n all frnts. Accrding t the Ministry f Water Resurces, in the future, we can expect t see the cnstructin f an even mre cmprehensive digital system fr this imprtant river.
12. What is the main purpse f creating a digital twin f the Yellw River?
A. T cnduct histrical research.
B. T create a virtual turist attractin.
C. T raise public awareness f river prtectin.
D. T imprve fld cntrl and preventin effrts.
13. Hw d the smart stnes cntribute t the river’s digital gvernance?
A. They recrd water quality.
B. They imprve the river’s beauty.
C. They mnitr and reprt dike mvements.
D. They serve as markers fr imprtant lcatins.
14. What can we infer abut the drnes’ rle in the digital twin system?
A. They are mainly used t test fldwater release plans directly.
B. They prvide key infrmatin fr updating the 3D mdel.
C. They wrk independently withut fllwing preset rutes.
D. They replace the need fr n-site researchers entirely.
15. What is the text mainly abut?
A. The digital twin f the Yellw River.
B. The drnes have an imprtant influence n fld preventin.
C. Hw t cntrl and prevent fld f the Yellw River.
D. Hw t make the peple living alng the Yellw River richer.
