【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 Daisy, 52： 〃 I39。ve earned the new minimum wage. I39。ve been working for a pet supplier store for two years. I39。ve worked lots of overtime there and this has enabled me to pay my share of bills. The higher minimum wage means no any overtime for staff. The pany has stated clearly that it cannot afford to increase wages, so workload will now be within contracted hours only.28. What pressure is Robin confronted with？A. Getting a pay rise. B. Working overtime.C. Changing a better job. D. Living on a tight budget.29. According to Dave, what39。s the consequence of paying the minimum wage?A. Family farming39。s decline.B. Employees39。 losing job security.C. Fanners39。 refusing to pay the wages.D. Customers39。 plaint of price increase.30. Which will be the most suitable sentence to fill in the blank?A. To pay more we have to reduce working hours.B. It is a struggle to manage a store on the increased cost.C. I will have to do the same work with less time.D. I can39。t get the pay rise as I am going to retire in a few years.31. What is the interviewees39。 attitude to the new national minimum wage?A. Positive. B. Negative.C. Indifferent. D. Ambiguous.DThis year39。s hottest destination is Mars. On 23 July, China launched the Tianwen1 mission to the Red Planet — one of three spacecrafts39。 planning to head there in 2020. This is China39。s second interplanetary mission, but the first that the nation has launched on its own. The other, PhobosGrunt, was a cooperation with Russia that didn39。t make it out of Earth39。s orbit after blasting off in 2011.The new mission, called Tianwen, translated as questions to heaven consists of an orbiter, a lander and a rover, the last of which will be named via a public petition. It39。s very ambitious because it39。s a fourpart mission： there39。s the launch, getting into orbit, the landing and the rover, and every single step has to go right, says space consultant Laura Forczyk. All those steps must work on the first try, an achievement no other space program me has acplished on a Mars mission because of the difficulty of landing there.If all goes well, Tianwen1 will arrive at Mars in February 2021 and the lander and rover will touch down two or three months later. They will take pictures from the surface, measure the soil position, make radar observations of the planet39。s underground structure and observe Mars39。s magnetic field. Due to the harsh environment on Mars, the rover is expected to last about 90 Martian days. It weighs around 240 kilograms, about the same as China39。s Yutu2 rover, which is currently roaming the moon. The Chinese mission to the far side of the moon has been hugely successful, so they are building on that success now, says Forczyk.The orbiter, which will relay data from the lander and rover back to scientists on Earth, also carries a suite of scientific instruments. It has two cameras and a spectrometer （光譜儀）,which it will use to create a map of the mineral position of Mars39。s surface, as well as radar and detectors to examine particles in the Martian atmosphere. It will also look for deposits of water ice that could be helpful for future explorers.Tianwen1 won39。t be alone in Mars orbit. The United Arab Emirates has just launched its first mission to Mars, and NASA39。s Perseverance rover is set to launch on 30 July. These missions are all leaving now because Mars is at its closest point to Earth, which happens once every two years.32. Which statement is true according to the first two paragraphs?A. On 23 July, three countries launched space crafts to Mars.B. Every step of Tianwen mission can be pleted at several attempts.C. The mission, PhobosGrunt, cooperated with Russia was a great success.D. Tianwen mission shows the pioneering efforts of China39。s space exploration.33. What does the underlined word in Para. 3 mean?A. Travelling around. B. Floating past.C. Wandering aimlessly. D. Moving swiftly.34, The orbiter will do the following tasks except .A. act as a detector to examine particles on the earthB. search for a substance useful for future explorationC. send information back to the earth collected from MarsD. identify the position of minerals possibly lying on Mars 35. What will be the best title for this text?A. China39。s Successful Space ExplorationsB. China Launching Missions to MarsC. Tianwen, the Firs
