A reentry capsule(太空艙)carrying the crew —— Chen Dong,Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe —— touched down on Earth at the Dongfeng Landing Site in northwestern China's Gobi Desert after flying nine hours.This has become the first time that Chinese astronauts have returned to Earth at night,which meant low temperatures and low visibility.Many technologies were developed to make sure the Shenzhou - 14 crewed spaceship went back safely.
The temperatures can be tricky.From the moment the spaceship separated from the space station on the way home,it has to start its own thermal (熱 的) control system to keep the temperature between 17 and 25 degrees,an ideal condition for the astronauts.When the spaceship enters Earth' atmosphere,it can cause temperatures of over 1,000 degree Celsius,so the ship has a heat shield on its bottom to protect itself from the high temperature.
High efficient communication is another promise of the safe return.The ground teams including control center in Beijing,landing site and rescue teams use the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System.The rescue helicopters also have a smart system to help predict the path of the reentry capsule during landing.
When the spaceship is 10 kilometers above the ground,the three parachutes (降落傘) will open one after anojye.air.The size of the parachutes will expand from only several square meters to over 1,000 square meters,gradually reducing the spaceship speed from 200 meters per second to seven meters per second,which protects astronauts from gravity force overload. "It's like when we're driving,we need to slow down gradually, "said Rong Wei,chief designer of manned spaceship at the 5th Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group,At the same time,the engine will be ready for a soft landing.
(1)Why was Shenzhou- 14 spaceship's returning different than before? DD
A.Because the landing site is in the Desert.
B.Because there are less astronauts in Shenzhou- 14.
C.Because the returning time was put off.
D.Because it was cold and dark outside.
(2)What do we know about the temperature change in the capsule? AA
A.It was controlled to fit astronauts' condition.
B.It was the highest at the very beginning.
C.It went to the frozen point in the atmosphere.
D.It kept dropping before starting the control system.
(3)What is the purpose of using the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System? BB
A.To design the best landing spot.
B.To assure the location of the capsule.
C.To control the temperature in capsule.
D.To send orders from the capsule.
(4)What is the main idea of the last paragraph? CC
A.How the engine expanded parachutes.
B.How the gravity force influenced landing.
C.How the landing parachutes worked.
D.How astronauts controlled the landing.

1.Nuclear bombs.That's the go-to answer for incoming space objects like asteroids(小行星) and comets,as far as Hollywood is concerned.Movies like Deep Impact and Armageddon rely on nuclear weapons,delivered by stars like Bruce Willis,to save the world and deliver the drama.
But planetary defense experts say in reality,if astronomers spotted a dangerous incoming space rock,the safest and best answer might be something more subtle,like simply pushing it off course by crashing it with a small spacecraft.
That's just what NASA did on Monday evening,when a spacecraft headed straight into an asteroid called Dimorphous,which is around 7 million miles away and poses no threat to Earth.It's about 525 feel across and orbits another larger asteroid.
In images streamed as the impact neared,the egg-shaped asteroid grew in size from a little spot on screen to have its full rocky surface come quickly into focus before the signal went dead as the craft hit right on target.
Events happened exactly as engineers had planned,they said,with nothing going wrong. "As far as we can tell,our first planetary defense test was a success," said Elena Adams,the mission systems engineer,who added that scientists looked on with "both terror and joy" as the spacecraft neared its final destination.
The impact was the peak of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) ,a 7-year and more than ﹩300 million effort which launched a space vehicle in November of 2021 to perform humanity's first ever test of planetary defense technology.It will be about two months,scientists said,before they will be able to determine if the impact was enough to drive the asteroid slightly off course,probably shortening its original orbit.
NASA plans to launch an asteroid-hunting space telescope named NEO Surveyor in 2026. "We've tacked lots of space rocks,especially the larger ones that could cause extinction-level events.Thankfully,none currently threaten Earth.But many asteroids the size of Dimorphous haven't yet been discovered,and those could potentially take out a city if they came crashing down." explains Lindley Johnson,NASA's Planetary Defense Officer.
(1)How did scientists know the craft hit the asteroid successfully?
A.The signal from the craft was lost as it hit the target.
B.They recorded the whole process with a telescope.
C.The little spot on the screen suddenly disappeared.
D.They monitored the craft with satellites in space.
(2)What is the purpose of launching the spacecraft?
A.To search for evidence of alien life.
B.To end the asteroid's threat to Earth.
C.To save the world and deliver a drama.
D.To test technology for defending Earth.
(3)What can be inferred about Dimorphous?
A.It is a dangerous incoming space rock.
B.It is an egg-shaped asteroid around Earth.
C.It may orbit the same asteroid after the hit.
D.It is expected to blow up after the impact.
(4)Which statement will Lindley Johnson probably agree with?
A.Asteroids are equally destructive whatever the size.
B.NEO Surveyor is aimed to track smaller asteroids.
C.Larger asteroids will no longer threaten Earth.
D.NASA is responsible for the safety of Earth.發(fā)布:2024/12/11 2:0:1組卷:6引用:4難度:0.5 -
