一、长征十二号运载火箭 the Long March 12 cargo rocket
新一代运载火箭长征十二号已完成各项研制工作，计划2024年在海南文昌商业发射场，完成首飞箭的发射任务。
Questions
1. Some argue that spending billions of RMB on sending a few astronauts to
the universe is a waste of money and such financial input could be spent on
something more important such as poverty alleviation or disaster relief. How
would you argue against such seemingly powerful logic?
2. Most space programs are run by national teams, with all the power a
country could mobilize. However, Elon Musk’s SpaceX is an exception. Do you
think a businessman can really succeed in this pursuit, why or why not?
二、殷墟博物馆新馆 new building of the Yinxu Museum
位于河南安阳的殷墟博物馆新馆2月26日正式开馆，这是全景式展现商文明的国家重大专题博物馆。
Questions
1. Museums are key showcases for presenting all the related aspects of
something. Imagine that if you are the head of a newly-established China
National Museum of Translation and Interpreting, what items would you want to
collect and why?
2. Suppose that you can travel back to an ancient dynasty with all of your
thinking and knowledge. Which dynasty do you want to go and why?
三、消费品以旧换新 trade-in of old consumer goods
2月23日召开的中央财经委员会第四次会议强调，实行大规模设备更新和消费品以旧换新，将有力促进投资和消费，既利当前、更利长远。
Questions
1. Some might think that second-hand products are of low quality and, more
importantly, if people don’t by newly-produced items, many manufacturers will go
bankrupt and the whole national economy will suffer. Do you agree with this
argument, why or why not?
2. What is your biggest single purchase in the past year and why did you
choose to spend such a large amount on this item?
四、民用航空器噪声污染防控 noise pollution prevention and control at civil airports
民航局、生态环境部、自然资源部、国家市场监管总局日前联合印发《民用运输机场周围区域民用航空器噪声污染防控行动方案》。
Questions
1. While urbanization gives people job opportunities as well as educational
resources, it also produces a lot of urban challenges such as traffic
congestion, heavy pollution, light and noise etc. Choose one of them and give
some suggestions for a better life in the city.
2. Some argue that compared with life in rural areas, people in cities live
closer to each other but get more estranged from their neighbors. Do you agree
with this idea? What are the reasons for this? Could you give some suggestions
for bringing people closer in cities?
五、低温雨雪冰冻灾害应急响应 emergency response to disasters induced by low temperatures,
rain, snow and freezing conditions
应急管理部于2月20日针对安徽、河南、湖北启动低温雨雪冰冻灾害四级应急响应。
Questions
1. Extreme weathers take place more frequently in these years and often
bring great damage onto people’s life. What can we do to be better prepared for
such uncertainties and what else shall we do, after such disasters happen on us,
to minimize the loss?
2. During the freezing days, the high speed trains could not function
anymore but the outdated ones, using internal combustion engines, are still
functioning. Some argue that we’d better bring those old locomotives back to
ensure the transportation capacity but some others don’t agree, saying that
reduced speed will result in decreasing efficiency of the society. What is your
opinion?
