When the Chinese spacecraft (航天器) Chang'e-5 returned t Earth n December 17, 2020, it brught back smething nt seen n ur planet since the 1970s: mn rck samples. This precius carg, cllected by Chang'e-5's rbtic research vehicle in the nrthwest regin f the lunar near side, is nw being studied by scientists in Beijing. The success f the latest Chinese space missin als shwcased technlgy that may be used in future years t create human settlements n Earth's near neighbur.
The returned lunar samples will “abslutely add new knwledge f the histry f the mn, particularly its vlcanes,” says Xia Lng, a planetary scientist at China University f Gesciences. The rcks sent back by Chang’e-5 “will ask us t rethink abut why and hw the mn's vlcanic histry lasted this lng,” he says.
The Chang’e-5 missin was mre than just a trip t cllect mn rcks. It was als the latest stage f a lng, planned sequence f rbtic lunar explratins by China that have grwn ever mre scientifically advanced.
The prgram began with the 2007 launch f Chang'e-1 and Chang'e-2 three years later These craft circled the mn cllecting data used t help guide Chang’e-3 and Chang'e-4, the first Chinese spacecraft t land n the mn surface, and t direct their rbtic vehicles. The rbt n Chang'e-5 was able t cllect rck and sil samples and return them t Earth. In the near future, an identical spacecraft called Chang’e-6 win attempt a sample-return missin frm the mn’s suth ple — an area f intense scientific interest-- given the large amunt f water ice present.
The mre advanced Chang’e-7 and Chang’e-8 spacecraft are als planned t land near the suth ple t carry ut analysis f the regin and test new technlgies, including detecting and btaining materials that culd be useful t-future human explrers, such as water and hydrgen, and-testing 3-D printing n the lunar surface.
The lng-term aim f the --Chang'e prgram is t establish an Internatinal Lunar Research Statin arund 2030 t supprt rbtic and, eventually, crewed missins.
28. What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?

What makes peple s special? Tl use, self-cnsciusness, language, and culture are high n the list, but in fact all f these characteristics can be fund elsewhere in the animal kingdm. Humans and apes are clse relatives, s it is perhaps nt surprising that chimpanzees use tls r that grillas (大猩猩)have a sense f fair play, even rejecting carrts (which they nrmally accept) when they see their neighbrs getting grapes. But the qualifies that we ften think f as uniquely human exist nt just n land, but in the cean as well；
Amng the invertebrates, ctpuses (八爪鱼) are knwn fr their intelligence, even exhibiting evidence f playfulness, tl use, and persnality. But these skilled predatrs live alne and cnsequently lack culture. Dlphins, n the ther hand, are large-brained, lng-living, scial-grup-based predatrs, and it is here that we find the greatest similarity t human-like culture and awareness.
Culture depends n the ability f animals t pass n things they have learned t thers. Many animals have culture in this sense, but what sets dlphins apart is what they pass n. Sme bttlense dlphins hld spnges in their muths that they use as tls t sweep fr fish hiding n the cean flr. This ability is handed dwn thrugh generatins (especially in females), with sme families -- grandmther, mther; and daughter --all feeding in this highly specialized way.
Anther characteristic that dlphins share with humans is their ability t recgnize themselves in a minr When facing a mirrr; mst animals behave as thugh they are interacting with anther individual. Even in humans, the ability t recgnize that the image in a mirrr is neself des nt ccur befre the age f 18 mnths. Dlphins nt nly recgnize themselves, but if a black mark is put n the bdy f a dlphin, it will spend extra time at the mirrr t lk at the mark.
32.The example f grillas rejecting carrts shws they_______.
A. are nt easy t fl
B.prefer fruits t vegetables
C.have a special taste fr fd
D.have an awareness f equality
33.What d ctpuses lack cmpared with dlphins?
A.Scial interactinB. Intelligence.
C. Tl using ability;D. Fun-lving spirits.
34.What makes dlphin culture special?
A.They tend t hunt in grups.
B.Their hunting skills are passed dwn.
C.Their learning envirnment is favurable.
D.Their families are typically female-cntrlled
35. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A.Dlphins enjy lking at their wn reflectin in the mirrr
B.Dlphins are as intelligent as a typical 18-mnth-ld human baby
C.Dlphins are generally regarded as the mst advanced nn-human species.
D.Dlphins’ ability t recgnize their wn reflectin is a higher-rder mental
