　　Streaming is a technique for transferring data so that it can be processed as a steady and continuous stream. Most traditional users do not have fast 1.__________ access to download large multimedia files quickly. 2.__________， with streaming, you connect directly to the server and stream the movie or music to your computer or smart phones, meaning you can watch movies or listening to music over 3.__________ Internet connection. The big difference with streaming is that you pay to access content, rather 4.__________ actually owning it yourself.

　　The main advantage of streaming is convenience. You can have access 5.__________ thousands of movies and songs at the touch of a button. Also, by only accessing content, you don't have to worry about storage space. You'll never fill 6.__________ your hard disk with MP3s, or your bookshelf with DVDs. Streaming is good for the environment too. Streaming files uses much 7.__________ energy than creating, shipping and watching or listening to DVDs and CDs.

　　But some criticize streaming for its bad sound and image quality. A CD will probably sound a lot better than 8.__________ streamed song, and a movie on Blu­ray will look better than a streamed one too.

　　It was a modest test drive: moving forward 15 feet, turning in place 120 degrees, then backing up about 8 feet. The entire trip took about 16 minutes.

　　But for the team behind Curiosity, the six­wheeled NASA rover(探测器) that landed on Mars 17 days ago, the first tracks on Mars were an exciting milestone. “It couldn't be more important，” Peter C. Theisinger, the mission's project manager, said. “I mean, we built a rover. So unless the rover moves, we really haven't accomplished anything.”

　　Curiosity, which was launched on November 26, 2011, is to spend about a couple of years traveling through a 96­mile­wide crater(陨石坑)and up a mountain at the center of the crater, exploring for signs that early Mars could have been habitable for life.

　　But that journey of miles started a few feet away from Bradbury Landing, where Curiosity set down on Aug. 6, 2017. The spot had been named for Ray Bradbury, the author of “The Martian Chronicles” and other influential science­fiction novels. He would have turned 92 on Wednesday.

　　Recently, Curiosity has been busy with other exercises. On Sunday, the rover fired a laser instrument for the first time, hitting a rock and analyzing the atomic makeup. On Monday, it extended its arm. On Tuesday, it moved its four corner wheels in preparation for the drive.

　　“Everything has been going extremely well，” Mr. Theisinger said. So far, the only broken instrument has been a wind sensor that may have been damaged during the landing, NASA said.

　　During the next week, as more instruments are checked out, Curiosity is to head to its first destination, called Glenelg. At first, Curiosity will move only about 30 feet at a time. As its engineers gain experience, the drives will stretch to longer than the length of a football field.

　　Mr. Theisinger warned that the early successes did not ensure future ones. So far, the mission has accomplished only two of its primary goals: to launch on time and to land on Mars. “We've got a long way to go before this mission meets its full potential，” he said.

　　1. What does Peter C. Theisinger think of the test drive?

　　A. It is unimportant.

　　B. It is very important.

　　C. It ended up as a failure.

　　D. It is not smooth.

　　2. How long will Curiosity stay on Mars traveling through the crater?

　　A. About one year.

　　B. About two years.

　　C. About four years.

　　D. About five years.

　　3. Curiosity is mainly designed to ______.

　　A. search for life evidence on Mars

　　B. prepare for human landing on Mars

　　C. explore the natural resources on Mars

　　D. try out some scientific instruments

　　4. We can infer that Ray Bradbury ______.

　　A. designed the Mars rover Curiosity

　　B. is a space scientist from NASA

　　C. has just died

　　D. is an English science­fiction writer

　　5. What is Mr. Theisinger's attitude towards the mission?

　　A. Very optimistic.

　　B. Very confident.

　　C. Very disappointed.

　　D. Very cautious.

　　Ⅳ.阅读填空(每空不超过三个单词)

　　Drones are used extensively by the military. There are killer drones, attack drones, spy drones and surveillance(监视) drones used in the military. At present, the USA has some 7,000 military drones in military operation. It is predicted that by 2020, there could be as many as 30,000 in the US army. But is this a good thing?

　　First of all, what is a drone? Basically, a drone is a plane without a pilot — an “unmanned plane”. Drones can be controlled by a pre­programmed computer or a pilot in a control center.

　　Compared with piloted aircraft, drones have many advantages. Drones are cheaper to buy and easier to handle. Because there is no human pilot in the plane, they can keep military personnel out of harm's way. And they can stay in operation for much longer periods of time. Above all, they can attack the target with greater accuracy, thus greatly reducing damage to civilians and buildings.

　　Military drones have two principal uses. First, they're used for surveillance. The technology for this is known as the “Gorgon Stare” — a video capture device with nine cameras which can take in a 4­by­4 kilometers area. Drones are also used to strike targets, either buildings or people. For example, in Yemen in September 2011, a drone was used to kill a terrorist called Anwar al­Awlaki, who was accused of being organizational leader of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

　　However, military use of drones is controversial in many countries. Many people argue that drones often kill civilians by mistake. Since 2008, U. S. drone strikes in Pakistan have killed at least 67 civilians. Others think that the use of drones puts fighting wars on a similar level to video games, making it too easy and diminishing ethical(伦理) decisions.
