A device that weighs less than 1 kilogram is part of a mission that will allow scientists to deliver fourth generation or 4G mobile coverage to the moon in 2019。 If successful, the tiny device will provide the moon with its first ever mobile phone network。 The lunar network will support high definition streaming of video and data between the moon and the earth。 The network is part of a mission to the moon。 This is a project with the goal of landing the first privately paid for mission to the moon。 The 4G mission is set to launch from Cape Canaveral in the United States on a space X Falcon Nine Rocket in 2019。 Mission to the moon intends to establish and test the first elements of a communications network on the moon。 The scientists working on the project opted to build 4G rather than the fifth generation or 5G work。 This is because fifth generation networks are still in testing and trial phases。 This means that a 5G network may not yet be stable enough to work on the moon’s surface。
Question 1。 What are scientists planning to do?
Question 2。 Why did scientists choose to set up a 4G network in their mission?
解析:
本篇新闻难度适中,第一题类似主旨题,问到了科学家的计划,在新闻导语第一句即给出了本篇新闻的主旨内容,即在月球上安置一个可支持4G的设备。第二题是一道问原因的题目,答案即在最后两句,关键词because听得十分清晰,听到后继续等待即是答案。
