The 2022 FIFA World Cup kicked off，with more than 30 teams participatjye.aig.In the tournament's 92-year history，only eight countries have won：Brazil，Italy，F(xiàn)rance，Germany，Argentina，Spain，Uruguay and England.
It was the first time that the Cup had been held in the Middle East.Summer temperatures in Qatar regularly top 100 degrees，so for the safety of both athletes and audience，organizers pushed the month-long contest out to late November，when the weather is milder.
Uruguay was the first host and winner of the World Cup back in 1930.The final match played out in front of 60，000 audiences.No World Cup was held between 1938 and 1950 due to World War II.The 1950 tournament in Brazil featured separate East and West German teams.It wasn't until the 1994 World Cup that Germany look part as a unified team.West Germany won in 1954.
That 1950 Cup was also the first to feature England，despite soccer being an English invention.That year，Team USA beat England 1-0，though some British newspapers reported the result as USA 1，England 10，as editors believed the real score had a typo.Both sides believed it would be an easy win for England，and double-digit （兩位數(shù)） goals were expected.This match is considered by many as one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history.
The first women's World Cup started many decades after the men's，in 1991.That first one was held in China.Our team is so dominant that we have won half of all the World Cups to date.The women play every four years，just like the men，but not on the same schedule.The next women's World Cup will be held in 2023 in Australia and New Zealand.

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 -
