You are driving alone in a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device (装置) which uses satellites (卫星) to find the user’s position. It can find your position within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put it in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.There are three parts of the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into (安装) your car, plane,etc. The second part is a group of satellites moving around the Earth. The receiver contacts (联系) at least four of the satellites and works out its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate (精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will be like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.( ) 6.

The latest seven-part documentary offers opinions into the geographical, historical and cultural parts of what Chinese eat.Made by Chen Xiaoqing, an award-winning documentary maker, China at Your Tongue Tips is filled with different kinds of food, which tells us the beautiful process of food-making. The program is sure to attract both food experts and common viewers.Television is filled with food programs these days, especially introductions of top cooks and close looks at the wonderful cooking processes of a feast (盛宴), but how to create dishes is only one part of food culture, according to Chen.“The program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural parts about dishes, like people’s eating habits .”The surprise is that the show is not only about dishes. Every part pays attention to different people who tell stories about their adventure with food."As a saying goes, 'you are what you eat' (人如其食),'" Chen says. "Food is always connected with people. Behind the documentary, they are stories that show people's living situations and attitudes (态度). That's another part which makes it special."To get enough good stories, the production team spent three months doing researches and interviews in about 60 cities before they started shooting in (拍摄) last July. Filming lasted about nine months.China at Your Tongue Tips shows social changes while presenting food culture. For example, it shows that the elderly are in their hometowns while other members of this family work outside. In those cases, food serves as reminders of happy times.1. ___________2. ___________3. ___________4. ___________5. ___________6. ___________7. ___________8. ___________9. ___________ 10. ___________五、阅读表达(每题答案不超过8个单词)A TV program has become popular in China recently. It has made people all over China become interested in writing Chinese characters (汉字).The increasing (增加) use of computers and smart phones has left most young people hardly able to write by hand. Many of them are even unable to remember the 10,000 characters used in daily life without electronic help.CCTV started the Chinese Character Dictation Competition (汉字听写大会) to improve people’s handwriting skills. Contestants (参与者) on the show were students, but it was found that 70 % of adults in the viewers were unable to remember how to write the word “chan chu”.Because computers allow people to type characters simply by entering pinyin, they don’t need to remember how to write them. “The keyboard age has had a big influence on th e handwriting of Chinese characters.” Guan Zhengwen, who designed and directed the show said.He added that he hoped to encourage people to keep it alive as an art form.Hao Mingjian, an editor (编辑) of a magazine, putting his heart into Chinesecharact ers, said,“ Learning Chinese characters goes on throughout your life.
