一、阅读理解
A
When you open a map on your phone, you might think it is guided by the Global Positioning System (GPS) without thinking twice. However, nowadays, most of this service in China uses the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS,北斗卫星导航系统).
China started to build the BDS 30 years ago. Back in 1978, the US already started providing navigation services with its GPS. However, relying on a navigation system from another country is unsafe.
In 1994, China started to create its own navigation system, Beidou. Named after the Big Dipper constellation (北斗七星), which has guided people for centuries, the mission of the BDS was to make sure China could navigate the future on its own terms.
In 2020, after over 20 years of hard work, Beidou completed its global network. The BDS became the fourth global navigation system after the GPS of the United States, Galileo of the European Union and GLONASS of Russia.
The BDS is the first navigation satellite system to provide a global short message communication service. It means you can text others in places without phone signal (信号) or internet . For example, in February 2023,a hiker got lost in heavy snow in Inner Mongolia. He sent a text message using the BDS-powered chip in his phone and got rescued in time.
Moreover, the Beidou system plays an important role in disaster prevention and response (响应). Rescuers (救援人员) can communicate through the BDS quickly and clearly. It can also helpfarmers plant their crops better.
Wherever you are in the world, the BDS can help guide your way. As of 2023, it had provided service for over 120 countries and regions. “By 2035, China will build a positioning, navigation and timing system with the BDS at its core to provide more smart services,” Ran Chengqi, director general of the China Satellite Navigation Office, said at a news meeting in 2018.
1.When did the BDS become the fourth global navigation system?
A.1978. B.1994. C.2020. D.2023.
2.Which navigation satellite system is the first to provide a global short message communication service?

China plans to send one to three network backup satellites for the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) into space this year to improve the stability (稳定性) and usability of the constellation (星座), according to the 13th China Satellite Navigation Conference on Thursday, April 27, 2023.
Beidou is a positioning system developed by China. China is the third country in the world to have its own positioning system. With Beidou, China no longer has to depend on foreign systems. This is very important for national safety. Work on Beidou began in 1994. However, the first two Beidou satellites, were not sent into space until 2000. At present, it has 45 satellites in orbit, including 15 for BDS-2 and 30 for BDS-3. These satellites have formed a global network.
The complete Beidou will be more powerful than any other positioning system being used all over the world. Yang Changfeng is a designer of Beidou. He says that the system can notice the sway (摇摆) of a building in strong winds. Beidou has brought many advantages in our lives. Let’s take Shanghai as an example. Thousands of buses have been using Beidou. When we are waiting for a bus, we can know when it is about to come. Many smart phones have been using Beidou as well. Many people say, “Let me turn on my GPS.” “In fact, their phones are using Beidou.” jokes a salesperson in Beijing.
China will speed up the integration (融合) of BDS with new technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence and big data. It aims to build a more common, integrated, and intelligent national system of space and time by 2035.
The 3-day conference kicked off Wednesday in Beijing. More than 4, 000 experts and scholars from home and abroad in the satellite navigation field attended the conference online and offline.

①April 24, 2024 was the 9th Space Day of China and this marked the 30th year of China’s Bei Dou Satellite Navigation System (卫星导航系统) (the BDS).
②Let’s first get to know the background, steps, and meaning of developing the BDS.
③In the late 20th century, China started to explore how to develop a navigation satellite system suitable for its national conditions. The BDS has been independently developed by China to meet the needs of the country’s national safety and development.
④During that time, China gradually made a three-step plan of development: to complete the development of the BDS-1 and provide services to the whole country by the end of 2000; to complete the development of the BDS-2 and provide services to the Asia-Pacific region (亚太地区) by the end of 2012; and to complete the development of the BDS and provide services worldwide around 2020.
⑤The BDS is one of four international satellite navigation systems, along with the United States’ GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo. As the BDS joins hands with other navigation satellite systems, China will work with all other countries to make the BDS better serve the world and benefit humans. That’s the meaning of developing the BDS.
⑥The BDS have two main advantages. The other three systems have 24 satellites. China’s BDS has six more satellites. This can improve the BDS’ accuracy (精准度) in China and the Asia-Pacific region to 5 meters, compared with a 10-meter accuracy in other areas.
⑦The BDS has another advantage—the short message service. It allows users to have two-way communication. In areas that are not covered by communication signals (信号), users can send short messages, even in deserts and forests.
⑧Almost all of us have used the BDS for positioning with our smartphones. But how do our phones know where in the world. The Beidou system has been used in: we are and in which direction we are going? The satellites in space help our phones calculate our position. Besides positioning, the BDS is also widely used in our daily life.
32.Which paragraph does the picture on the left mainly support?
A.Paragraph 4. B.Paragraph 5. C.Paragraph 6. D.Paragraph 8.
33.What can we infer from the passage?
A.The BDS is the pride of China.
B.The BDS will change the education in China.
C.The BDS has been used in every field of our life.
D.There are four international satellite navigation systems.
34.What does the underlined word “calculate” probably mean according to the dictionary?
calculate /′kælkjuleɪt/ verb.
A.to form an opinion about something
B.to specially design a product or an event
C.to use numbers to find out a total number
D.to work out the results according to the information
35.What’s the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】32.D 33.A 34.D 35.A
【知识点】说明文、科学技术
【导语】本文主要介绍了有关北斗卫星导航系统开发的背景、步骤及意义。
32.推理判断题。根据图片可知,这是在介绍北斗系统用于哪些方面,结合文章第八段“The Beidou system has been used in: we are and in which direction we are going? The satellites in space help our phones calculate our position. Besides positioning, the BDS is also widely used in our daily life.”可知,第八段是讲北斗导航系统的适用范围,因此是支持第八段的内容。故选D。
33.推理判断题。根据“The other three systems have 24 satellites. China’s BDS has six more satellites. This can improve the BDS’ accuracy (精准度) in China and the Asia-Pacific region to 5 meters, compared with a 10-meter accuracy in other areas.”可知,其他三个系统拥有24颗卫星。中国的北斗卫星导航系统比其他三个导航系统还多6颗卫星。这可以将北斗系统在中国和亚太地区的精准度提高到5米,而其他地区只有10米。因此可推知,北斗卫星导航系统是中国的骄傲。故选A。
34.词义猜测题。根据“we are and in which direction we are going? The satellites in space help our phones calculate our position.”可知,卫星帮助我们的手机计算出我们的位置,因此划线单词表示“计算出”。故选D。

This makes it one of four global satellite navigation systems, along with the United States’ GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo.
China started to develop the BDS in 1994. The system came into use in 2000. After 12 years of work, it began serving the Asia-Pacific region. In 2020, with the global use of BDS-3, China has improved the system to provide users with more correct positioning services, making it a valuable tool for more industries, including transportation, agriculture, and surveying.
Now, with 59 satellites in its network, the BDS has served more than 1. 5 billion users across the world. Most mobile apps providing maps, navigation and shopping services in China already support the BDS. China’s satellite navigation industry is growing fast. Its value reached more than 500 billion yuan in 2022. That number is expected to double by 2025. In the first half year of 2023, there were about 13. 4 million new BDS devices (设备) . Nearly 60% were used in transport systems. The rest were used in communication and agriculture. The former made up about 28% and the latter 12%.
As BDS gets more popular, it is expected to play an increasingly important role in global navigation and positioning services.

This year, we celebrate 30 years since China started to build its Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS, 北斗卫星导航系统). It took its name from the Big Dipper stars, a group of seven bright stars in the sky.
In 1994, China began building the BDS, so it wouldn’t have to use navigation systems from other countries. It’s a lot safer this way. In 2020, the BDS was completed. This achievement made China the fourth to have its own navigation system after the US, Russia and the European Union.
The BDS does not just show where you are. It’s the first to let you send messages where there is no phone signal (信号). It has also played an important role in disaster prevention and response (防灾救灾). It even helps farmers in China by providing information for planting, which makes farming smarter.
The BDS is more than a system. It shows China’s ability in science and technology. Now, over 120 countries and areas are using it. Wherever you are, the BDS is there to help you find your way.

In our modern age, we do not think much about how our technology works. We are so used to tapping on our phone screen to get a map of our location. But how do our phones know where in the world we are and in which direction we are going? It is all thanks to the satellites in space that help our phones calculate our position. Depending on where you are around the world, your phone may be receiving data from different systems. In Europe, people have the Galileo system. In Russia, they have GLONASS. In the USA, people use GPS. China, meanwhile, has the Bei Dou Navigation Satellite System (BDS).
The BDS in operation today is more advanced than the first version (版本) of the system, which was sent into space in 2000. The present version has better technology and more satellites. The system is not finished, though. When it is completed, there will be lots of BDS satellites. In the future, those satellites will allow us to discover the position of objects with millimetre accuracy (精确度): that is ten times more accurate than GPS.
Even though more satellites are being added to the system, the BDS has already been put to use. More than 40,000 Chinese fishing boats are using the system now. These boats are very helpful in search and rescue operations (营救行动) at sea. They are able to communicate with support services on land as well as give the exact locations of ships in trouble.
The BDS is being used on land as well. Of course, it’s not hard to imagine how the system is helping the police and firefighters do their job. Agriculture is another area where there are applications for the system. Farmers are able to put the data to good use when operating smart farming equipment. For example, the BDS can be used to control driverless tractors as they turn up the fields. Farmers are also using drones (无人机) 10 check the health of crops and spread seeds over fields.
Although the BDS is of Chinese origin (起源), the developers have said that “China’s BeiDou is the world’s Bei Dou”, and they are actively developing international cooperation. Developers predict that the system will not only grow in popularity within China, but overseas as well. And when the system is complete and fully operational in the years to come, the BDS will undoubtedly bring lots of advantages to China and the rest of the world.

China has completed its BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (卫星导航系统), or BDS, becoming another one in the world with a global navigation network (全球导航网络), the other three being GPS of the US, GLONASS of Russia and Galileo of the European Union.
As the name suggests, the global navigation satellite system provides navigation and location services 24 hours a day. From what we have known so far, building a good satellite system costs a lot. Besides, the other systems have been set up. Why does China have a new one if there is nothing special?
The other three systems have 24 satellites in MEO. As the 24 satellites, China’s new global navigation satellite system BeiDou-3 also has three satellites in GEO and three in IGSO. What’s special about these six satellites is that they have a relatively fixed area of activity. This can improve BDS’accuracy (精准度) in China and the Asia Pacific to 5 meters, compared with a10-meter accuracy in other areas.
BDS has another advantage—the short message service. It allows users to have a two-way communication. In areas not covered by communication signals, BDS can make the short message service available in uninhabited areas, such as deserts, forests, mountainous and polar areas, With this service, users who are in danger can tell the rescue team (救援队) their location and condition.
As the most populous country in the world, it’s important for China to have its own global navigation satellite system to meet the needs of the country’s development.
In fact, BDS is also good business. According to the official report, China’s satellite industry has kept a 20% yearly growth since 2012. And BDS contributes (贡献) about 80% of it. Also, BDS has also created countless high-paying jobs. And with continuous improvement, it will have much more to offer in the future.
MEO: 中轨道 GEO: 地球静止同步轨道 IGSO: 倾斜地球同步轨道
47.BDS is the ________ global navigation network in the world.
A.third B.fourth C.fifth D.sixth
48.How many satellites does BeiDou-3 have in total?
A.24. B.27. C.30. D.36.

一、阅读理解
A
When you open a map on your phone, you might think it is guided by the Global Positioning System (GPS) without thinking twice. However, nowadays, most of this service in China uses the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS,北斗卫星导航系统).
China started to build the BDS 30 years ago. Back in 1978, the US already started providing navigation services with its GPS. However, relying on a navigation system from another country is unsafe.
In 1994, China started to create its own navigation system, Beidou. Named after the Big Dipper constellation (北斗七星), which has guided people for centuries, the mission of the BDS was to make sure China could navigate the future on its own terms.
In 2020, after over 20 years of hard work, Beidou completed its global network. The BDS became the fourth global navigation system after the GPS of the United States, Galileo of the European Union and GLONASS of Russia.
The BDS is the first navigation satellite system to provide a global short message communication service. It means you can text others in places without phone signal (信号) or internet . For example, in February 2023,a hiker got lost in heavy snow in Inner Mongolia. He sent a text message using the BDS-powered chip in his phone and got rescued in time.
Moreover, the Beidou system plays an important role in disaster prevention and response (响应). Rescuers (救援人员) can communicate through the BDS quickly and clearly. It can also helpfarmers plant their crops better.
Wherever you are in the world, the BDS can help guide your way. As of 2023, it had provided service for over 120 countries and regions. “By 2035, China will build a positioning, navigation and timing system with the BDS at its core to provide more smart services,” Ran Chengqi, director general of the China Satellite Navigation Office, said at a news meeting in 2018.
1.When did the BDS become the fourth global navigation system?
A.1978. B.1994. C.2020. D.2023.
2.Which navigation satellite system is the first to provide a global short message communication service?
A.The BDS. B.GLONASS.
C.Galileo. D.Global Positioning System.
3.What does the underlined word “mission” mean?
A.text B.task C.tool D.tour
4.Which of the following can best help us find out the writer’s purpose?
A.Does the writer tell us the disadvantages of the BDS?
B.Does the writer introduce the BDS to us?
C.Does the writer provide us how to use the BDS?
D.Does the writer tell us the further development of the BDS?

China plans to send one to three network backup satellites for the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) into space this year to improve the stability (稳定性) and usability of the constellation (星座), according to the 13th China Satellite Navigation Conference on Thursday, April 27, 2023.
Beidou is a positioning system developed by China. China is the third country in the world to have its own positioning system. With Beidou, China no longer has to depend on foreign systems. This is very important for national safety. Work on Beidou began in 1994. However, the first two Beidou satellites, were not sent into space until 2000. At present, it has 45 satellites in orbit, including 15 for BDS-2 and 30 for BDS-3. These satellites have formed a global network.
The complete Beidou will be more powerful than any other positioning system being used all over the world. Yang Changfeng is a designer of Beidou. He says that the system can notice the sway (摇摆) of a building in strong winds. Beidou has brought many advantages in our lives. Let’s take Shanghai as an example. Thousands of buses have been using Beidou. When we are waiting for a bus, we can know when it is about to come. Many smart phones have been using Beidou as well. Many people say, “Let me turn on my GPS.” “In fact, their phones are using Beidou.” jokes a salesperson in Beijing.
China will speed up the integration (融合) of BDS with new technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence and big data. It aims to build a more common, integrated, and intelligent national system of space and time by 2035.
The 3-day conference kicked off Wednesday in Beijing. More than 4, 000 experts and scholars from home and abroad in the satellite navigation field attended the conference online and offline.

When you open a map on your phone, you might suppose it is guided by the Global Positioning System (GPS)without giving it a second thought. However, nowadays, most of this service now in China uses Beidou Navigation Satellite Systems(BDS).
China started to build the BDS thirty years ago. Back in 1978, the US already started providing navigation services with its GPS. However, depending on a navigation system from another country is not safe. In 1994, China started a journey to create its own navigation system, Beidou. Named after the Big Dipper Constellation (北斗七星) , which has guided people for centuries, the BDS was to make sure China could navigate the future on its own terms.
In 2020, after over twenty years of hard work, Beidou completed its global (全球的) network. The BDS is the first navigation satellite system to provide a global short message communication service. It means you can text messages in places without phone signal (信号) on the Internet. For example, in February 2023, a hiker got lost in heavy snow. He sent a message using the BDS-powered chip in his phone and got saved in time.
No matter where you are in the world, the BDS can help guide your way. Now in 2024, the BDS is used more widely in many fields, especially in the national electronic cars. By 2035, China will build a positioning, navigation and timing system with the BDS. This is not only the insistence on (坚持) the dream but also for the future expectations!
23.Which country does BDS belong to?
A.Britain. B.America. C.China.
24.When did China start a journey to create its own navigation system?
A.In 1978. B.In 1994. C.In 2020.
25.What does the underlined word “text” mean?

阅读下面材料,在题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选择一个正确选项。
Thirty years ago, China started to build its own navigation satellite (卫星导航) system, Beidou. It took its name from the Big Dipper stars, which are the guiding light for people around the world.
In 1994, China began making the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), so it wouldn’t have to use navigation systems from other countries. It’s a lot safer this way.
In 2020, after over 20 years of hard work, Beidou completed its global (全球的) network. This achievement placed China among the group of countries and areas with their own global navigation network. The US, Russia and the European Union are the other three.
Beidou does not just show where you are. It’s also the first to let you send texts where there’s no phone signal (信号) or Internet. For example, you can use it to send messages to others in a deep mountain. The Beidou system has played an important role in disaster prevention. The BDS even helps farmers in China by providing exact information for planting and making farming wiser.
The BDS is more than a system. It shows China’s power in science and technology. Now, over 120 countries and areas are using it. Wherever you are, Beidou is there to help you find your way.

①April 24, 2024 was the 9th Space Day of China and this marked the 30th year of China’s Bei Dou Satellite Navigation System (卫星导航系统) (the BDS).
②Let’s first get to know the background, steps, and meaning of developing the BDS.
③In the late 20th century, China started to explore how to develop a navigation satellite system suitable for its national conditions. The BDS has been independently developed by China to meet the needs of the country’s national safety and development.
④During that time, China gradually made a three-step plan of development: to complete the development of the BDS-1 and provide services to the whole country by the end of 2000; to complete the development of the BDS-2 and provide services to the Asia-Pacific region (亚太地区) by the end of 2012; and to complete the development of the BDS and provide services worldwide around 2020.
⑤The BDS is one of four international satellite navigation systems, along with the United States’ GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo. As the BDS joins hands with other navigation satellite systems, China will work with all other countries to make the BDS better serve the world and benefit humans. That’s the meaning of developing the BDS.
⑥The BDS have two main advantages. The other three systems have 24 satellites. China’s BDS has six more satellites. This can improve the BDS’ accuracy (精准度) in China and the Asia-Pacific region to 5 meters, compared with a 10-meter accuracy in other areas.
⑦The BDS has another advantage—the short message service. It allows users to have two-way communication. In areas that are not covered by communication signals (信号), users can send short messages, even in deserts and forests.
⑧Almost all of us have used the BDS for positioning with our smartphones. But how do our phones know where in the world. The Beidou system has been used in: we are and in which direction we are going? The satellites in space help our phones calculate our position. Besides positioning, the BDS is also widely used in our daily life.
32.Which paragraph does the picture on the left mainly support?
A.Paragraph 4. B.Paragraph 5. C.Paragraph 6. D.Paragraph 8.
33.What can we infer from the passage?
A.The BDS is the pride of China.
B.The BDS will change the education in China.
C.The BDS has been used in every field of our life.
D.There are four international satellite navigation systems.
34.What does the underlined word “calculate” probably mean according to the dictionary?
calculate /′kælkjuleɪt/ verb.

This year, we celebrate 30 years since China started to build its Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS, 北斗卫星导航系统). It took its name from the Big Dipper stars, a group of seven bright stars in the sky.
In 1994, China began building the BDS, so it wouldn’t have to use navigation systems from other countries. It’s a lot safer this way. In 2020, the BDS was completed. This achievement made China the fourth to have its own navigation system after the US, Russia and the European Union.
The BDS does not just show where you are. It’s the first to let you send messages where there is no phone signal (信号). It has also played an important role in disaster prevention and response (防灾救灾). It even helps farmers in China by providing information for planting, which makes farming smarter.
The BDS is more than a system. It shows China’s ability in science and technology. Now, over 120 countries and areas are using it. Wherever you are, the BDS is there to help you find your way.

In our modern age, we do not think much about how our technology works. We are so used to tapping on our phone screen to get a map of our location. But how do our phones know where in the world we are and in which direction we are going? It is all thanks to the satellites in space that help our phones calculate our position. Depending on where you are around the world, your phone may be receiving data from different systems. In Europe, people have the Galileo system. In Russia, they have GLONASS. In the USA, people use GPS. China, meanwhile, has the Bei Dou Navigation Satellite System (BDS).
The BDS in operation today is more advanced than the first version (版本) of the system, which was sent into space in 2000. The present version has better technology and more satellites. The system is not finished, though. When it is completed, there will be lots of BDS satellites. In the future, those satellites will allow us to discover the position of objects with millimetre accuracy (精确度): that is ten times more accurate than GPS.
Even though more satellites are being added to the system, the BDS has already been put to use. More than 40,000 Chinese fishing boats are using the system now. These boats are very helpful in search and rescue operations (营救行动) at sea. They are able to communicate with support services on land as well as give the exact locations of ships in trouble.
The BDS is being used on land as well. Of course, it’s not hard to imagine how the system is helping the police and firefighters do their job. Agriculture is another area where there are applications for the system. Farmers are able to put the data to good use when operating smart farming equipment. For example, the BDS can be used to control driverless tractors as they turn up the fields. Farmers are also using drones (无人机) 10 check the health of crops and spread seeds over fields.
Although the BDS is of Chinese origin (起源), the developers have said that “China’s BeiDou is the world’s Bei Dou”, and they are actively developing international cooperation. Developers predict that the system will not only grow in popularity within China, but overseas as well. And when the system is complete and fully operational in the years to come, the BDS will undoubtedly bring lots of advantages to China and the rest of the world.
44.What does the underlined word “calculate” probably mean according to the dictionary?
calculate /ˈkælkjuleɪt/ verb
① to solve the meaning of something
② to form an opinion about something
③ to specially design a product or an event
④ to work out the results according to the data or clues
A.① B.② C.③ D.④
45.How does the writer show the changes in the BDS in Paragraph 2?
A.By showing steps. B.By telling stories.

China has completed its BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (卫星导航系统), or BDS, becoming another one in the world with a global navigation network (全球导航网络), the other three being GPS of the US, GLONASS of Russia and Galileo of the European Union.
As the name suggests, the global navigation satellite system provides navigation and location services 24 hours a day. From what we have known so far, building a good satellite system costs a lot. Besides, the other systems have been set up. Why does China have a new one if there is nothing special?
The other three systems have 24 satellites in MEO. As the 24 satellites, China’s new global navigation satellite system BeiDou-3 also has three satellites in GEO and three in IGSO. What’s special about these six satellites is that they have a relatively fixed area of activity. This can improve BDS’accuracy (精准度) in China and the Asia Pacific to 5 meters, compared with a10-meter accuracy in other areas.
BDS has another advantage—the short message service. It allows users to have a two-way communication. In areas not covered by communication signals, BDS can make the short message service available in uninhabited areas, such as deserts, forests, mountainous and polar areas, With this service, users who are in danger can tell the rescue team (救援队) their location and condition.
As the most populous country in the world, it’s important for China to have its own global navigation satellite system to meet the needs of the country’s development.
In fact, BDS is also good business. According to the official report, China’s satellite industry has kept a 20% yearly growth since 2012. And BDS contributes (贡献) about 80% of it. Also, BDS has also created countless high-paying jobs. And with continuous improvement, it will have much more to offer in the future.
