2、 Are electric cars (电车) good for the Earth? Many of us would probably say yes. But Robert Sansone knows the answer isn't that simple. Sansone is called a natural-born engineer. It is not surprising if you know the 17-year-old has completed nearly 60 engineering projects.
A couple of years ago, Sansone watched a video about the advantages and disadvantages of electric cars. The video explained how the motors (发动机) of these cars are made. Most of them use rare-earth metals (稀土金属). These materials are very expensive. Even worse, they are often collected in ways that are harmful to the Earth. "Must we use these metals? Is there a more environmentally-friendly way?" Sansone thought. He had heard of the synchronous reluctance motor (同步电动机) before. But its performance should be improved.
Over the following year, Sansone put one design after another to the test. Things didn't go well at first. He failed fourteen times before coming up with a working model. The model is about 40% more powerful than a traditional one. And it doesn't use rare-earth metals. These efforts have helped Sansone win a big award. He took part in this year's Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (大奖赛) with his motor. It's the world's largest pre-college science competition. He stood out from more than 1,800 competitors to win first prize.
Sansone, however, isn't yet done with his invention because it is far from perfect. It is difficult to make. This means it's hard to become widely used. So Sansone has continued to improve and test his motor. Hopefully Sansone's design will completely change the electric car industry one day.(1)、How many engineering projects has Sansone completed at the age of 17?(2)、Are rare-earth metals expensive?(3)、What is the world's largest pre-college science competition?(4)、What prize did Sansone win in the science competition?(5)、Why isn't Sansone done with his invention yet? -

There will be two models of the Mengzhou spaceship. will be used to transport astronauts to the moon and the other will replace the present spaceship Shenzhou to carry astronauts Earth and the Tiangong space station. The Mengzhou spaceship will be nearly 9 long and weigh 22 tons. The Lanyue moon lander will have two basic parts—a landing part and a propulsion (推进) part, and will weigh nearly 26 tons. It carry two astronauts and a 200-kilogram rover (月球车). Now, the research and development of the Lanyue and the Mengzhou are progressing with the help of experts.

20、 阅读短文,从每小题所给的四个选项中,选出一个与短文内容相符的最佳选项。
Wuxi City in eastern China's Jiangsu Province is known as the "Home of the erhu" because it is the birthplace of many erhu masters. Looking around Wuxi, you can often hear the beautiful sound of the erhu. The erhu was called the huqin at first, a musical instrument of ethnic (种族的) groups in northern China, and it dates more than a thousand years back to the Tang Dynasty. In modern times, with the development of operas, the huqin was renamed the erhu and it slowly spread throughout China.
The erhu plays a leading role in many Chinese folk orchestras (管弦乐队) just as the violin does in Western orchestras. They are both made up of a body, a bridge, strings (弦) and a bow (弓).
The performer usually holds the erhu straightly on the leg, ▲ and pressing the strings with his fingers, while drawing the bow with his right hand. As the bow runs against the strings and touches and shakes them, beautiful music comes.
Not limited (限制) by just two strings, a good player can give the erhu amazing emotional expressions. It can present both soft, lovely songs and sad music. Sometimes it gives a human crying voice, and sometimes a great horse-running sound.
Today, as a folk instrument, the erhu has been used more widely by communicating with Western musical instruments. In many international concerts, the erhu can be seen playing with different Western instruments, such as the piano, violin and guitar. This performance form not only adds new possibilities to music creation, but also brings richer enjoyment to the listeners.
