nSight spacecraft had to slow down from a speed of more than 12,000 mph. The spacecraft39。s heat shelter helped the lander survive temperatures as high as 2,700℉. Each step along the way was watched nervously at JPL, with updates delayed by the eightminute light travel time between Earth and Mars. Mission controllers hugged each other with joy when the signals were received. We are proud of everything that has gone on today, they told us reporters. The first picture of the surface of Mars was sent back to Earth by one of the MarCO nanosatellites (馬可納米衛(wèi)星) that acpanied InSight during its travel to Mars. The dust from the landing made the view unclear. Pictures from it were expected to be clearer once the dust settled and the lens cover (鏡頭蓋) was removed. Hours later, InSight39。s batteries were charging as expected. The InSight team also passed on another picture, taken by a different camera that39。s fixed on the lander39。s robotic arm. The view is clearer, showing the robotic arm and the seismometer, which is used to discover the actual movement of the ground.(1)What do we know about InSight lander from the passage? A.It has landed successfully on Mars eight times.B.It travelled all the way at the speed of 12,000 mph.C.Mission controllers helped it survive high temperature.D.The task of it is to find out the inner mysteries of Mars.(2)We know what Mars looks like by . A.studying pictures InSight lander sends backB.reading reports sent back by the person on MarsC.collecting images sent back by MarCO nanosatellitesD.analyzing information the robot on InSight lander sends back(3)How did the mission controllers feel when they received signals from Insight? A.Unconcerned.B.Worried.C.Amazed.D.Excited.(4)The passage is most probably taken from . A.a fiction novelB.a news reportC.a travel magazineD.an official statement【答案】 (1)D(2)C(3)D(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新聞報道,介紹了美國航天總局的InSight登陸和探測火星的相關(guān)情況。 (1)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中The great arrival of the spacecraft173。designed to listen for quakes and shakes as a way to discover the Red Planet39。s inner secrets,可知,設(shè)計Insight的主要目的是探測火星的內(nèi)部秘密。故選D。 (2)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的The first picture of the surface of Mars was sent back to Earth by one of the MarCO nanosatellites (馬可納米衛(wèi)星) that acpanied InSight during its travel to Mars.可知,馬克納米衛(wèi)星能夠把拍攝火星的照片傳回地球,通過照片我們就可以知道火星的外表。故選C。 (3)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“Mission controllers hugged each other with joy when the signals were received.”當(dāng)收到來自Insight的信號時,任務(wù)控制員們都高興地抱在一起,可知接收到信號時任務(wù)控制人員很高興。故選D。 (4)考查推理判斷??v觀全文可知,本文介紹了美國航天總局的Insight登陸和探測火星的相關(guān)情況,所以可以推斷出它最有可能是新聞報道。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查,是一篇新聞報道,考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細節(jié)信息。并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。9.閱讀短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。 We can take online joyful learning experiences to a new level by bining the best practices in education with inspiring handson lessons that parents and children can enjoy together. ◆◇Starting a Writer39。s Notebook June 13thJune 17th This workshop is to inspire children to see themselves as true authors.
