Singapore A different kind of condiment is given away in abundance in this small nation. “We have unlimited, free access to chilli sauce in any fast food restaurant and any food court,” said native Joseph Lee. “We literally eat anything and everything with chilli sauce, from the iconic chicken rice to McDonald’s hamburgers.” Slovakia Tap water might be free in some countries, but true mineral water usually comes at a premium. Not so in Slovakia, where mineral springs are everywhere. “Every region has a number of mineral water sources that are open to the public and free to drink,” said Juraj Spisak, who currently lives in Brussels. “Mineral springs in Slovakia each have a particular taste. Some are more sulphuric, others are rich in manganese or iron.” While its still possible to buy water in shops, its common for residents to refill their own bottles at the local springs. Australia “Many public parks and national parks have free barbeque hot plates,” said Christopher Mardell from Adelaide. “You bring meat and whatever else you want to cook, push a button to start it up and away you go. After 20 minutes or so, they turn off automatically, so you push the button again.” All visitors have to do is keep it clean, and Mardell said most people follow this rule. In the Northern Territory, residents can enjoy a unique respite from the heat. “As the waters are croc infested, residents can cool down by using free water slides,” said Jane M, originally from England. Leanyer Recreation Park in Darwin is just one example, with three large water slides and a water playground and pool. 56. From the passage, readers are informed that ______. A. chilli sauce, free in most fast food restaurant, plays a vital role in Singaporean diets B. in Slovakia, residents often refill their own bottles at the local springs because mineral springs have a particular taste C. all visitors have access to free barbeque hot plates in Australia as far as they obey certain rule D. the three large water slides and a water playground and pool in Recreation Park in Darwin are all completely free 57. In which part of a newspaper would you most probably read the passage? A. Culture B. Travel C. Health D. Recreation B An Indian spacecraft’s first attempt to make a soft, controlled landing in the moon’s south polar region has ended in painful silence: Shortly before touchdown, the robotic lander — part of the Chandrayaan-2 mission — fell out of contact with mission control. The Indian Space Research Organization says that the spacecraft stopped communicating with Earth when it was within 1.3 miles of the lunar surface. “The Vikram descent was as planned, and normal performance was observed, up to an altitude of 2.1 kilometers,” said Kailasavadivoo Sivan, ISRO’s chairman, in a statement roughly half an hour after signal loss. “The data is being analyzed.” A successful landing would have made India just the fourth country to touch down anywhere on the lunar surface, and only the third nation to operate a robotic rover there. Nevertheless, the Chandrayaan-2 mission’s orbiter remains safely in lunar orbit, with a year-long scientific mission ahead of it. Like any voyage to a world beyond Earth, Vikram’s flight was a risky endeavor, requiring the lander to slow itself down to a near standstill, scan for surface obstacles（障碍物）by itself, and then take steps to avoid them during touchdown. The majority of attempts to land robots on the moon have ended in failure, either during launch or on the way to the surface. Following its launch on July 22, Chandrayaan-2 spent the last several weeks inching its way to the moon, ultimately entering lunar orbit on August 20. On September 2, Vikram separated from the mission’s orbiter, and the newly freed lander began a series of braking maneuvers（刹车操作）to lower its orbit and ready itself for landing. Had things proceeded without a fault, Vikram and Pragyaan — the small solar-powered rover it carried — would have set down on the moon at a latitude of about 70 degrees South, on a highland between Manzinus C and Simpelius N. This landing site was “somewhere new that we haven’t seen before, so that makes it another area for ground-truthing remote sensing data,” Clive Neal, a lunar geologist, said in an interview before the landing attempt, “It was going to certainly enhance our knowledge of what the moon is like in those areas, so it was going to be another very good place for science and exploration.” 58. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? A. India is making attempts to become the fourth country to operate a robotic rover on the moon. B. The highland between Manzinus C and Simpelius N is still mysterious to humans. C. Vikram’s flight was a risky endeavor because it demanded higher technique. D. So far, all areas of the moon haven’t been explored by humans. 59. Had all things proceeded without a fault, what were the correct order of Vikram’s landing on the moon? ①begin a series of braking maneuvers ②scan the surface obstacles ③separate from the mission’s orbiter ④lower its orbit ⑤set down on the moon ⑥take steps to avoid obstacles A
