Two teens from Toronto, in Canada, sent a Lego man rising above the Earth and captured their tiny astronaut39。s trip on film. Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17, used a weather balloon to launch their plastic lego model 16 miles above the Earth. This is inside a part of Earth39。s atmosphere. The two teens were inspired by a similar project performed by students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT). The MIT students had launched a weather balloon with a camera into near space and taken many unusual images of the Earth. Mathew and Asad then spend four months figuring out how to launch their own spacecraft into the space. Travelling to space is expensive for NASA, but Mathew and Asad worked hard to keep their costs down. They bought much of their equipment used and even sewed the Lego man39。s parachute by hand. In total, the project cost only$400. We had a lot of anxiety on launch day because there were high winds when we were going up, Mathew told reporters. They had to pump extra helium(氦)into the balloon so that it would rise quickly and avoid being blown too far off course by the strong winds. The toy astronaut39。s journey lasted 97 minutes before the balloon broke and he fell back to Earth. Mathew and Asad then spent two weekends looking for their spacecraft. It had landed 76miles away from the launch site. The student scientists are currently finishing up their final year of high school and applying for colleges. They are also looking into more doityourself space projects. I guess the sky is not really the limit anymore, Mathew told reporters. We never knew we39。d get this far. It39。s been a lesson for us that hard work pays off.(1)By saying took the world by storm in the first paragraph, the writer meant the experiment______________. A.destroyed the worldB.flooded the worldC.fascinated the worldD.managed the world(2)Which of the following about the students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is right? were examples for Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad. helped Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad to achieve dream. launched weather balloon together with Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad. studied with Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad in the same school.(3)How did Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad keep their costs down? sewing the weather balloon themselves. borrowing spacecraft from the MIT students. making their spacecraft by hand. using secondhand equipment.(4)What problems did Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad have on launch day? ran out of helium. wind was too strong. balloon suddenly broke. spacecraft was blown away.【答案】 (1)C(2)A(3)D(4)B 【解析】【分析】這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述兩個(gè)來自加拿大的高三學(xué)生利用氣象氣球把他們的玩具樂高人送到太空的過程和結(jié)果,并從中學(xué)到了努力終會(huì)有回報(bào)。 (1)推理判斷題。根據(jù)畫線部分后面的Two teens from Toronto, in Canada, sent a Lego man rising above the Earth and captured their tiny astronaut39。s trip on ,并且把航空之行的過程拍下來了。這是一件很了不起的事情,故推測這件事吸引了全世界的目光,即畫線部分的意思是吸引了全世界,故選C項(xiàng)。 (2)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段的The two teens were inspired by a similar project performed by students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT).可知這兩個(gè)孩子是受到了兩個(gè)麻省理工學(xué)生相似實(shí)驗(yàn)的啟發(fā),然后做了他們自己的實(shí)驗(yàn),即他們是這兩個(gè)孩子的榜樣,故選A項(xiàng)。 (3)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段的They bought much of their equipment used and even sewed the Lego man39。s parachute by hand. In total, the project cost only$,甚至自己縫制樂高人的降落傘,所以他們的總費(fèi)用才花了400美元,故選D項(xiàng)。 (4)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第五段的We had a lot of anxie
