A group of college students is hoping to place a satellite powered only by water into an orbit(轨道) around the moon.
The students are from Cornell University in the state of New York. They are taking part in a competition called the Cube Quest Challenge. It is a program of NASA, the American space agency. The Cornell team is called the CisLunar Explorers. The word cislunar means “between the earth and the moon.”
The challenge is simple: to design, build and deliver “flight-qualified, small satellites.”NASA officials say the satellites must be able to perform “advanced operations near and beyond the moon.”
Ten teams are taking part in the competition. But
the CisLunar Explorer satellites are different. They are the only ones using water to power their spacecraft.
The idea for a water-powered vehicle came from Mason Peck, who works at Cornell University. He once worked as NASA?s chief technologist. He has always wanted to use something other than rockets to push spacecraft beyond earth. “A lot of the mass we send into orbit these days is in the form of rockets -- the only way we get anything into space,” he said, in a Cornell press release.“But what if we could use what?s already there? If we could do that, if we could re-fuel spacecraft while they?re already in space...”
The spacecraft is shaped like the English letter L. It measures about 30 centimeters in length, and the two pieces are connected. Water is stored in the lower part of the satellite. The sun will separate the water into two elements: hydrogen and oxygen. When one combines hydrogen and oxygen with a spark (火花), an explosion results. This provides a forward movement, known as thrust.
The CisLunar Explorer team has an unusual way to guide its spacecraft. The idea is to copy how old-time sailors used the moon, sun and stars to fix their position on the oceans. The satellite is equipped
with cameras. The cameras will take pictures of the sun, the earth and the moon and compare their positions and their sizes. Based on where the sun, moon and earth are at any given time, the CisLunar Explorers will do the mathematics to find their position.
The competition is being held in four parts. The Cornell team has been among the top three competitors during parts one and two. The winners of the third stage will be announced in about a month. The final three winners will be announced in early 2017. They will get to ride on NASA?s space launch system in early 2018.
63. The essential part of the competition “the Cube Quest Challenge” is ______. A. to launch a satellite to take awatery flight to the moon
B. to design, build and deliver a small and flight-qualifiedsatellite
C.to place a satellite powered only by water into an orbit around the moon
D. to make the satelliteperform advanced operations near and beyond the moon
64. What does Mason Peck want to do at Cornell Universityaccording to the passage? A. To stop using rockets for the sake of safety. B. To use something already in space as power. C. To try using water in space to push spacecraft.
D. To design a water-powered vehicle to push spacecraft. 65. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. there is a lot of rubbish of rockets and satellites in the orbit these days
B. a water-powered satellite will soon be sent into the orbit around the moon C. the explosion of the combination of hydrogen and oxygen provides power
D. the team members of the CisLunar Explorers are the students of Mason Peck 66. What would be the best title of the passage? A. A Spacecraft Powered by Water
B. A Water-Powered Flight to the Moon
C. A Competition for Water-Powered Satellite D. A Design of Water-Powered Space Journey
Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. He found the bacterium had a similar effect on the mice as an anti-depressive drug might B.Soil bacteria not only benefit people but also benefit animals C. Gardening can also be used as a way of treating addiction D. It?s no wonder some of us turn to gardening as a form of therapy E. Alcohol can make people behave peculiarly and dangerously in gardening F. Some experts actually believe that getting outside to dig and plant things acts as a “natural excitement” The Good of Gardening
Do you have a hobby that helps you relax and unwind? For some people, there is no better way to relieve pressure than spending time in the garden. This small private area of green space can be their place of calm.
__67__. A survey conducted by the Royal Horticultural Society, found that 82% of people in the UK said that gardening makes them happier. It also found that 70% of them, given the choice, would prefer to spend their working day in the garden with just 9% opting for an office.
For those with green fingers, the pleasure of gardening comes from getting out in the fresh air, in all weathers and communing with nature -- even if there are a few too many worms! It can also be seen as a sort of digital-detox -- time away from technology. __68__.
Dr Christopher Lowry, a neuroscientist at the University of Colorado, injected a bacterium commonly found in soil into mice to see what affection this would have on them. __69__. When we dig in soil we absorb this bacterium through our lungs or cuts in our skin, so Dr Lowry concluded that since the mice seemed happier when treated with soil bacteria, it?s likely we would be, too.
__70__. There?s evidence that recovering alcoholics who have been given the opportunity to plant, grow, and even sell their produce, have managed to stop their addictive habits. Scot Stephenson, for example, got dismissed from school and started a vocational qualification in gardening. He says, “I got my NVQ level 2 which is my first qualification and enjoyed it ever since.”
Whatever the reason, there are many therapeutic benefits to getting your hands dirty, doing some physical hard work and then watching your garden grow. Does this sound like your idea of fun?
IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Are You Ready for Your Exam?
So, it?s the exam time again -- have you done the necessary work to get good marks? Sleeping with the textbook under the pillow(枕头) in the hope that knowledge will be magically absorbed into your brain as you sleep doesn?t work. The best strategy is to space your practice out, rather than cram(死记硬背) it all together. It means hit the books early!
In an article in the British newspaper The Guardian, Tom Stafford, a lecturer in psychology at the University of Sheffield, UK, advises: “If you organize five hours of study into one hour a day, you?ll remember more than if you study for five hours on one day.”
Don?t rely on memory alone -- get pen and paper and start working. Students who can test themselves in advance will be better at getting back material from their memory and learn that material in the long run. John Dunlosky, Professor of Psychology at Kent State University in the US, suggests that “you start by reading a textbook using your favourite highlighter(荧光笔) and favourite colours, but then you go back and make flashcards of all the critical concepts and instead of just rereading those, you basically try to test yourselves on them.”
Good revision should give you confidence, but if you are still anxious, there?s no harm in indulging(放任) in a personal routine. In Japan, it seems to be a tradition for students to eat Katsudon before a test. This is a warm bowl of rice topped with egg and a deep-fried pork cutlet. The name of the dish reminds people of the word ?katsu?, meaning ?winning?.
For some students in South Korea, the key to success is not washing their hair before sitting an exam because they believe they could wash all the knowledge out of their head. And in different parts of the world there are always those who swear by their ?lucky underwear?.
The bottom line is that you need to study, sleep well on the eve of the test, eat a nutritious meal, drink plenty of water and believe that your efforts will pay off. Good luck in your exam!
