　　News Report 1

　　A device that weighs less than one kilogram is part of a mission that will allow [Q1] 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 [Q1] first ever mobile phone network. The lunar network will support high definition streaming of video and data between the moon and 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 9 rocket in 2019. Mission to the moon intends to establish and test the first elements of a communications network on the moon. [Q2] The scientists working on the project opted to build a 4G rather than a fifth generation or 5G network. 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?

　　【答案】Set up a mobile phone network on the moon.

　　【解析】原文中A device that weighs less than one kilogram is part of a mission that will allow scientists to deliver fourth generation or 4G mobile coverage to the moon in 2019. 及后半部分first ever mobile phone network 關鍵信息詞有提及，或者根據句意進行判斷。

　　Question 2：Why did scientists choose to set up a 4G network in their mission?

　　【答案】It is stable.

　　【解析】該題難度相對較大，原文最后The scientists working on the project opted to build a 4G rather than a fifth generation or 5G network. 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。并未直接提及4G，而是從5G 不穩定的角度進行陳述。

　　【總體評述】該新聞跟6月份考查的話題大體一致，都側重對月球進一步的科技開發。兩道題都需要各位同學有稍許的理解能力。

　　News Report 2

　　It’s responded to a fire Wednesday night at an abandoned mall in Heywood. The fire was reported at 9:26 pm at an old shopping center on Michigan Avenue near St. Mary’s Church. Six fire engines, two trucks and two chiefs responded to the scene. [Q3] Crews had the fire under control in about 45 minutes and managed to contain the fire to its point of origin. There were some people inside the building when the fire broke out but there were no reports of any injuries. Fire investigators have responded to the scene but have not yet determined the cause of the fire. Firefighters will remain on the scene until later this morning to ensure that the fire doesn’t start up again. The shopping mall had not been in use since 2002. [Q4] In 2014 City Hall developed a plan to knock down the building and replace it with affordable housing. However the plan was dropped due to lack of funds.

　　Question 3：What does the news item say about the fire?

　　【答案】No injuries were yet reported.

　　【析】原文中Crews had the fire under control in about 45 minutes and managed to contain the fire to its point of origin. There were some people inside the building when the fire broke out but there were no reports of any injuries. 關于這場火災報道的內容很多很雜，ACD選項都是根據其中斷章取義設置的干擾選項。

　　Question4：What had City Hall planned to do?

　　【答案】Pull down the deserted shopping mall.

　　【解析】原文中In 2014 City Hall developed a plan to knock down the building and replace it with affordable housing. 政府提出了拆除并改造成住宅。可見A選項無中生有C選項過度補充D選項不符合原文。

　　【總體評述】

　　此篇新聞報道了一家老商業中心發生火災的情況。考生可以預想自己應該抓住哪些重點。比如：時間，地點，現場情況，有無傷亡，消防員的情況等等。根據這些常識對題目做出預判。

　　News Report 3

　　Potato chips in Japan are being sold for 6 times their normal price. [Q5] This is after the country’s main manufacturer stopped sales due to a potato shortage. Storms and floods and its main potato growing region last year caused the worst harvest and more than 3 decades. Local media reports suggest Calbee and its main rival Koike-ya are halting almost 50 products. “We don’t know when we’ll be able to restart”, a company spokesman said. Snack lovers are panic buying and many supermarket shelves are bare. [Q6] Japanese laws limit the amount of imported potatoes that can be used in Japanese made products. Japan says fear of disease is its main reason to block fresh imports. It still only allows potatoes from selected US states. This is only at certain times and on condition that they are processed at factories based near Japanese ports. [Q7] But global warming has raised the possibility that domestic produce could be seriously affected by rare weather events more often.

　　Question 5：What problem is Japan facing?

　　【答案】Insufficient potato supply.

　　【解析】原文提及This is after the country’s main manufacturer stopped sales due to a potato shortage. 對potato shortage進行了同義替換。

　　Question 6：Why does Japan limit the import of potatoes?

　　【答案】It is afraid of the spread of disease.

　　【解析】原文明確的細節信息Japan says fear of disease is its main reason to block fresh imports。

　　Question 7：What might affect Japanese domestic produce?

　　【答案】Global warming.

　　【解析】原文最后But global warming has raised the possibility that domestic produce could be seriously affected by rare weather events more often。

　　【總體評述】該新聞側重在于時事話題，由于天氣原因對于農業產生的影響，以土豆為具體例子，用詞相對來說比較生活化。
