And it symbolizes an early step toward solving what has already been a critical issue: junk in space.“專家告訴CNN，本周進(jìn)行的這次測試被廣泛認(rèn)為是太空清潔技術(shù)的首次成功演示。它象征著解決太空垃圾這一關(guān)鍵問題的第一步?？芍疚闹黝}是“衛(wèi)星首次收集太空垃圾”。故選D。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷，詞義猜測和主旨大意四個題型的考查，是一篇科技類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。7．閱讀理解 It is the ideal way for traveler to ensure they wake up with the perfect view — a portable Ecocapsule that can be set up anywhere in the world. The eggshaped pod (獨(dú)立艙) ensures travelers can camp in the most extreme corners with all the luxury of a hotel room. Looking like something in a scifi movie, the pod is equipped with solar panels, which guarantee solar energy as its power. In this way the tiny home can let you live fortably wherever you travel. It even has its own shower and toilet, sleeping area for two, and a small kitchen. The 3,306 ib pods can be transported in a seacontainer, meaning the possibilities are endless. Bratislavabased Nice Architects are behind the extraordinary Ecocapsules and said they initially designed them for people who stay in the nature for a long time. However, it quickly became apparent that they could be opened up to the wider public and even used in urban areas to fight against high rent and placed on roofs for studio space or living quarters. The Ecocapsule can serve as a cottage, a popup hotel or even as a charging station for electric cars.The Ecocapsules could even be quickly imported for housing for emergency teams who have been quickly arranged to help with natural disasters. Described by the website as a Swiss Army knife — it packs everything you need, the selfcontained unit can sustain long periods of time without external resources. The 86 sqft pods are able to sleep two people for up to year and for those worried about a cold night39。s sleep, the Ecocapsule has a thick layer which significantly reduce heat loss. The pod is designed to cope with extreme weather conditions due to its innovative (創(chuàng)新的) design and materials used. No wonder the Nice Architects are so confident about its future and the producers are receiving heavy orders.（1）Where does the Ecocapsule get power? A.From a charging station.B.From a portable battery.C.From solar panels.D.From electric cars.（2）Whom may be the Ecocapsule initially designed for?
