The goal was to communicate by radio in clear and simple English with people whose native language is not English. Experts said the goal was admirable, but the method would not work. They were proved wrong. The Special English programs quickly became some of the most popular on VOA. And they still are Forty years later, Special English continues to communicate with people who are not fluent in English. But during the years its role has expanded. It also helps people learn American English. And it provides listeners, even those who are native English speakers, with information they cannot find elsewhere Today, Special English broadcasts around the world seven days a week, five times a day. Each half-hour broadcast begin with ten minutes of the latest news followed by 20 minutes of feature programming. There is a different short feature every weekday about science. development. agriculture and environment. and on the weekend. about news events and Americar idioms. Three elements make Special English unique. It has a limited vocabulary of 15oo words. Most are simple words tha describe objects, actions or emotions. Some are more difficult. They are used for reporting world events and describing discoveries in medicine and science. Special English is written in short, simple sentences that contain only one idea. No idioms are used. And Special English is spoken at a slower pace, about two-thirds the speed of Standard English. This helps people learning English hear each word clearly. It also helps people who are English speakers understand complex subjects Through the years, Special English has become a very popular tool for teaching English, even though it was not designed as teaching program. It succeeds in helping people learn English in a non-traditional way. Individuals record the programs and play them over and over to practice their listening skills. In countries around the world.

(8 分) Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergartcn. Scicnce projects waited until the last moment. Book reports weren't written until the final threat. I've been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master's degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a 'vo-tech" student (技校学生). They're called "'motorheads"by the rest of the student body. When a secretary in my office first called him "motorhead". I was shocked."Hey, he's a good kid." I wanted to say. "And smart, really." I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don't often make school honor rolls. But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don't have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at S800 "Hey, I can fix it." said Jody. I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose My son, with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts from a junkyard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The cos was $25 instead of s8o0. Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repair to him These kids are happiest whcn doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And thcir minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders Most important, I have learned that fathers don need clones in footsteps or anywhere else My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine 1、 The author let his son repair the car because he believed that A. his son had the ability to fix it B. it would save him much time C. it wouldn't cause him any more loss D. other motorheads would come to hel 2、 What did the author realize in the end? A. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path B. It is important for one to make the honor roll C. Architects play a more important role than builders. D. Motorheads have greater ability than office workers 23.(8分) Even when you're extremely busy, you aren't using your time with 1oo% efficiency. There are gaps in everyone's schedule where they aren't doing anything important. Even if your schedule has no gaps, there is probably lots of time where you aren't working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could Why aren't you completely efficient? It's because time isn't the limiting factor. If it were the limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions. Instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate(拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day. The real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention. Energy levels limit your productivity because when you're tired, you can have ample time and still not get everything done. Your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million things that necd to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time You might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices. But even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything. The reason it's hard to "find time" isn't a lack of time. It's because you don't have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day. I first suspected time wasn't the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago. I was insanely busy, but at that time I still exercised regularly. I had daily-to-do lists with over twenty items, and I still found time to exercise. However, after a few weeks off, due to illness, I stopped exercising. I was not busy by any standards, in fact, my schedule was incredibly light. Despite this free time, I found it hard to find time to exercise. It seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone. How can I explain this odd experience? I believe you have known it 1、 If someone can't work with 1oo% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is __ A. a schedule without gaps B. breaks and distractions C. the limited time D. the limited energy 2、According to paragraph 4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can __ A. work without any rest B. focus on many things at a time C. find some more time in a day D. do some exercise regularly 3、 After a few weeks off, what was the change of the writer's life? A. He had a longer daily to-do list with over twenty items B. He stopped doing exercise because of the lack of energy. C. He found it hard to find time to exercise because he was busier D. He pushed most of the things later and later in his schedule 4、 The writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to A. prove what the real limiting factor is B. show us how busily he needs to work C. explain how important a healthy body is D. tell us what an odd experience he has 24.(8分) An exciting landing process of Chang'e-4 lunar probe (月球探测器 ) was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing, Jan. 3, 2019. It touched down on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a.m. Beijing Time, becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon's unknown side never visible from Earth China's Chang'e-4 probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite that provides a communication link with ground control. The relay satellite, named Oueqiao, meaning Magpie Bridge, after a Chinese legend (传说 ). was launched on May 21. 20l8. and became the first communication satellite operating in the halo orbit. nearly 500. ooo km from the earth. It can also provide communication for probes from other countries. The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments. The maximum distance between the satellite and the Chang'e-4 probe on the far side of the moon is 79,ooo km. The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption, as the earth's and moon's gravity balances its orbital moving. While in orbit, it can "see" both thc carth and the far side of the moon. The concept of using a relay satellite in the halo orbit was first put forward by U.S. space experts in the 196os, but was realized by Chinese space engineers Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids (小行星 ) hitting the far side of the moon. To control the cost of the Chang'e-4 probe, the relay satellite was designed to be relatively small weighing about 40o kg. Researchers had just 30 months to develop the satellite, putting them under high pressure. To promote public interest in space exploration, the China National Space Administration invited people to write down their wishes for lunar and space exploration, and the relay satellite carries the names of tens of thousands of participants and their messages. 1、What do we learn from the second paragraph?
