Love it or not, flying is necessary if we want to get to a faraway destination. Taking a flight in China can be a boring experience. This is because Chinese airlines didn’t allow smartphones to be powered on during flights. However, the launch of a new Chinese satellite Shijian 13 has changed the situation. Now, many Chinese airlines allow passengers to use their smartphones freely, that is, we can finally catch up on our favorite books and songs while at 30000 feet in the air.
The communication satellite Shijian 13 can transmit (输送) 20 gigabytes (GB千兆) of data per second and cover most parts of China’s land. This makes it the most powerful communication satellite China has ever developed. In fact, Shijian 13 has a higher message capacity (容量) than the total capacity of all China’s communication satellites launched.
The powerful satellite has greatly improved the Internet, including that on fast-moving transportation vehicles such as planes and high-speed trains.
With shijian 13, people are able to get a download speed of up to 150 MBps on their smartphones. According to Zhou Zhicheng, head of the communications satellite department of the China Academy of Space Technology, the speed means it takes less than one minute to download a 1-GB movie. Watching online TV on planes and high-speed trains has come true.
But the satellite’s benefits are far greater that that. China is trying to have 22 communication satellites in the sky by 2025. Shijian 13 will be able to cover wider areas, including mountains, oceans and deserts. When people have emergencies while hiking or sailing, the satellite can help them report and ask for help. It will also help people in natural disasters.

3.Which sentence tells Shijian 13 is the most powerful communication satellite?

B. With it we can ask for help when we meet typhoons in sea.

Muriel’s home was a pleasant three-bedroomed house in a suburb（郊区） of Manchester. The family, made up of two girls and a boy, had been raised there. One had already left home, and the day was not far off when the other two would leave for London and the start of their careers.
The house now lacked for nothing. The expensive days schooling and providing for a growing family were over. The husband’s salary as an engineer provided holidays in Spain, a-year-old family car, a colour television (not rented now, thanks to a bargain offer in a January sale).
Life was good until Muriel, returning from shopping in the city centre, found she had been burgled. It was bad enough that the windows in the dining-room had been forced open and $20 in cash in the kitchen drawer stolen, but the damage aged Muriel immediately.
A booted foot had broken the television screen. House plants had been torn from their pots and threw against walls. There was a horror in the kitchen. Three fish were dead on the floor, their heads stamped and crushed（碎）. The water from the fish tank had soaked（浸泡） the fitted carpet. Kitchen drawers had been pulled out and the contents were everywhere over the floor.
It was the same story in each room. Muriel found she could not sleep. The extra sherry（雪莉酒） at night did not work. The doctor later gave her tranquilizers（镇静剂）. Finally her husband made the only decision he could. They had to sell and move from the home where they had planned to spend the rest of their lives.
The tragedy is that each year there are many thousands of Muriels.

2.What happened to the fish in the kitchen?

3.The word “burgle” means ________.
A.谋杀 B.抢劫 C.失窃 D.纵火
4.Why couldn’t Muriel sleep? ________.
A.Because she drank too much wine
B.Because her children would leave her
C.Because she wanted to move house
