话题5 现代科技 中国科技新生代 China has been famous around the world since ancient times. In the past, we had the Four Great Inventions. Nowadays, more inventions and creations have made China stronger and greater in the world. On May 5th, 2017, at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, China's first large homemade jet airliner(喷气式客机), the C919, took off successfully for the first time. It has taken about ten years for the scientists and researchers to make this Chinese dream come true. It's a pride of the whole nation. So far, more than 23 companies have already ordered 570 C919 planes from China. But we still have a long way to go before the C919 carries passengers by 2020. It also faces the challenge of competing with the Airbus A320 and the new Boeing B737. What's more, China is working on the new highspeed trains with the highest speed of 400 km/h. It will be ready by 2020. The new trains are expected to push area cooperation(合作) and create new business for China and foreign countries. Many countries, especially the ones in Central Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe, are planning to build highspeed rail lines or to improve their railways with the help of China. They'd like to get support in technology from China. China has made great progress in both science and technology. And it makes a great contribution to humans, too. All of these are changing the daily life of Chinese people, even of the people around the world. 1. The C919 will have a competition with ________ and the new Boeing B737.
