A new chapter opened in mankind's exploration of the moon on Thursday morning
as the first probe(航天探测器) to land on the moon's far side reached its destination
after a 26day journey.The Chang'e 4 lunar probe,representing China's latest step in
lunar investigation,landed at 10:26 am at the Von Kármán crater and then sent back
three photos of the landing site shot by cameras on the probe's lander(着陆器),marking
the world's first images taken on the surface of the far side.
One of the photos,published by the China National Space Administration,shows
the place where Chang'e 4's rover,which was named Yutu 2 on Thursday night,will be
heading to explore and survey.Thus began the first long journey to the side of the moon
that faces away from the Earth.It is meant to fulfill scientists' longheld desire to closely
observe the lesser known region.
Tidal(潮汐的) forces on Earth slow the moon's rotation to the point that the same
side always faces Earth.The other side,most of which is never visible from Earth,is the
far side of the moon.While it has been photographed by spacecraft , starting with a
Soviet probe in 1959,no probe had ever made a soft landing there,so scientists had not
been able to conduct surfacelevel observations and surveys of the region.
Wu Weiren,chief designer of China's lunar program,said in Beijing on Thursday
that the landing“was perfect”.He called the event“an important milestone for China's
space exploration”,adding that it has made a good start for future lunar exploration
efforts.
With its investigation of the far side,particularly the Von Kármán crater,the
Chang'e 4 mission will enable scientists to find out what they haven't known about the
moon and deepen their knowledge of its early history and of the solar system.

Young trees don't just grow;they develop a personality and learn more about their
environment and how they should best behave in it.They also help each other out
whenever there's trouble.
Personality,just as among people,varies among trees.Some are anxious,some
bold.On the author's land,there are three oak trees growing close together.One of the
oak trees always starts to shed its leaves two weeks earlier than the others.Since they all
experience the same temperature , the same soil and the same length of day , such
variables can't be the explanation.So what's happening?Well,this tree is simply more
careful than the others.Whoever holds on to their leaves longer can do more
photosynthesis(光合作用) and store more nutrients.However,the longer a tree keeps its
leaves,the higher the risk of injury.
Not only do trees make their own decisions,they also learn from their mistakes.A
tree,for example,keeping its leaves too long during one year will never make this
mistake again.This leads to several other conclusions:trees must notice the temperature
and the length of the day and be able to save their experiences somewhere.Obviously,
trees don't have brains,but it is thought that in the sensitive tips of their roots they keep
track of information and experiences.
But trees aren't only clever when it comes to caring for themselves.They also
support each other whenever there's trouble by giving warnings and even taking care of
sick and weak conspecifics with nutrients.For example,one time the author found a
very old tree stump.Its insides had rotted a long time ago to topsoil.But the wood on the
outside of the stump was still living.How was this possible ? Well , the stump was
nourished by its neighbors with nutrients from the root system,and had been for at least
400 years!
Why do trees do such a thing?It's simple:it's better together.Trees need the forest;
it protects them from storms , provides the right microclimate and warns them of
attacks.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了树的智慧。
5.Why does the author mention the three oak trees?
A.To illustrate trees can learn from experiences.
B.To show trees can make independent decisions.

C (2019·昆明市诊断测试)
Who're happier,men or women?Research shows it's a complex question and that
asking whether males or females are happier isn't really that helpful,because basically,
happiness is different for women and men.
Women's happiness has been declining for the past 30 years,according to recent
statistics.And research shows that women are twice as likely to experience depression
compared with men.Gender( 性 别 ) differences in depression are well confirmed and
studies have found that biological,psychological and social factors contribute to the
difference.
Early studies on gender and happiness found men and women were socialized to
express different feelings.Women are more likely to express happiness,warmth and fear,
which help with social bonding and appear more consistent with the traditional role as a
primary caregiver,while men display more anger,pride and disrespect,which are more
consistent with a protector and provider role.
Recent research suggests that these differences are not just socially , but also
genetically related.Studies have looked into these findings further and discovered that
females use more areas of the brain containing mirror neurons(镜像神经元) than males
when they process feelings.Mirror neurons allow us to experience the world from other
people's view,to understand their actions and intentions.This may explain why women
can experience deeper sadness.Women tend to experience more negative feelings,such
as more guilt,shame and to a lesser degree,embarrassment.
Psychologically it seems men and women differ in the way they process and
express feelings.With the exception of anger,women experience feelings more strongly and share their feelings more openly with others.Studies have found in particular that
women express more appreciation—which has been linked to greater happiness.This
supports the theory that women's happiness is more dependent on relationships than
men's.
