21、China in Space

Did you know...

★ In 1956 China opened the first missile and rocket research institute?

★ Who is the first Chinese astronaut in space?

★ What is China’s first Mars rover?

The beginning of China’s space program

In 1956, China opened its first missile and rocket research institute. Qian Xuesen (1911—2009), a Chinese scientist honored as “the father of China’s space program” was the director. With great determination to build China’s own rockets, he devoted himself to China’s space program. Less than ten years later, on July 19, 1964, China launched a biology rocket “T-7A(S1)” into space with the first Chinese “astronauts”—4 big rats and 4 small rats inside it. In 1968, China opened another institute for manned space flight. But that was just the beginning.

China’s First Astronaut in Space

At 9 a.m. October 15, 2003, Yang Liwei, aboard the Shenzhou V manned spaceship, took off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, starting his long-expected trip in space. More than 20 hours later, Yang Liwei finished his last action of this trip by cutting the rope of the parachute (降落伞) and walked out of the spaceship, putting an end to Chinese people’s successful trip to space for the first time.

China’s first Mars rover

On April 24, China’s Space Day, China’s first Mars rover has been named Zhurong, announced the China National Space Administration (CNSA). On May 22, the six-wheeled solar-powered rover, looking like a blue butterfly, left the first “footprints” on the red planet. Zhurong’s first successful drive made China the second country after the United States to land and operate a rover on Mars.

Zhurong is the god of fire in ancient Chinese mythology. Literally, Zhu expresses the good wishes for humankind’s exploration of the universe. Rong means integration and cooperation, reflecting China’s vision of the peaceful use of space. The name is another example of Chinese scientific romance including Tianwen, Chang’e and Beidou, which also shows the Chinese spirit of exploration and cultural confidence, according to Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the CNSA.

C．Gentle.

D．Responsible.

【2】How many “astronauts” were inside the biology rocket “T-7A(S1)”?

22、   Italian Joseph Caspar Mezzofanti was said to have spoken more than 38 languages fluently at the time of his death in 1849, a skill that would have been useful in today's globalized economy. Unfortunately, when it comes to the high school Spanish lesson in the decades, most people nowadays have remembered that there is nothing more complex than "Donde esta la biblioteca". So we set out to uncover what's involved in learning a foreign language and which methods work best.

Some advertisements say that some language learners believe they're just a 15-minute audio tape away from becoming UN interpreters. But experts say these get-fluent-fast programs are a complete sham. "Actually, there is hardly a shortcut that can do that," says Dekeyser, a professor of second language acquisition at the University of Maryland. "The only way to learn a language is to make quite a bit of effort on a daily basis."

Many experts agree that the ideal learning method for language learners really depends on the individual. "Find the method that works for you and stick with it," says Simcott, a polyglot who has professionally worked in over 14 languages at once for the British Foreign Service. "If audio works for you, do audio. If you like taking classes, do classes. But remember to keep practicing every day."

However, not all people are created equal. Some may have talent for language learning, but it doesn't mean they can passively await fluency "Practice is an effective learning method," says Davidson. "The more time that you spend during the day speaking your second language, the better at it you're going to be."

Learning from multiple people is also a good way, especially when you are attempting to cultivate a native accent, "When you are exposed to a lot of people, you get a much better sense of what the sound of word is supposed to be." says Davidson. "You avoid exposing yourself to what could be features in one individual's speech patterns."

【1】What do the words "are a complete sham" in paragraph 2 mean?

A.Remain to be improved. B.Are completely scientific.

C.Remain to be confirmed. D.Are totally false.

【2】Which do Simcott and Davidson both attach importance to?

A.Advanced learning tools.

B.Constant practice in learning language.

C.The talent for language learning.

D.Suitable learning surroundings.

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A.It is easy to learn a foreign language for Italians.

B.It is difficult to learn Spanish for most people today.

C.Joseph Caspar Mezzofanti contributed to the development of language.

D.Joseph Caspar Mezzofanti was both an economist and a language expert.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.The importance of learning a second language.

B.Some problems faced by language learners.

C.Some views and advice on language learning.

D.The necessity for people to learn a second language.

24、A new study has found that water in the air, not just heat, is important in measuring global warming. The researchers say, when considering humidity and heat, the temperature increase is two times greater than earlier estimates.

The researchers also note, temperature by itself is not the best way to measure the effects of climate change and using temperature underestimates conditions in the tropical areas of the world.

The study was published on January 31 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The researchers team show that the energy created in extreme weather, such as storms, is related to the amount of water in the air. For this reason, they decided to use a special atmospheric measurement to show the amount of heat in an area of air. It is expressed in a scientific measurement for temperature known as degrees Kelvin.

Ramanathan is one of the writers of the study. He is a climate scientist at the University of California San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography. “There are two factors of climate change: temperature and humidity. And so far, we have measured global warming just in terms of temperature,” he says. “Warm air can hold more water than cold air. For every degree Celsius that air temperature increases, it can hold seven percent more water. When the water vapor in the air becomes liquid, it releases heat or energy. That’s why when it rains, now it pours.”

Ramanathan added that water vapor is a powerful heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere that increases climate change. From 1980 to 2019, the average world surface air temperature increased by 0.79 degrees Celsius. But when they considered energy from humidity, their temperature measurement had increased by 1.48 degrees Celsius. In the tropics, the warming was as much as 4 degrees Celsius.

Wuebbles is a climate scientist at the University of Illinois. He was not part of the study. But Wuebbles said the idea makes sense because water vapor is important in extreme rainfall. He said, “Both heat and humidity are important.”

【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The combination of water and heat decreases average surface temperature.

B．The reason why it pours is that cold air can hold more water than warm air.

C．Scientists adopt temperature degrees Kelvin as a special atmospheric measurement.

D．Scientists used both temperature and humidity to measure global warming in the past.

【2】How does Ramanathan illustrate his findings in the fifth paragraph?

A．By making comparisons.

B．By taking examples.

C．By analyzing reasons.

D．By giving definitions.

【3】What is Wuebbles’ attitude to this new study?

A．Critical.

B．Objective.

C．Skeptical.

D．Appreciative.

【4】Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?

A．Extreme Weathers Are Closely Related to Air Heat Amount

B．A New Study Focuses on Global Warming Solutions

C．Humidity Is Also Important in Measuring Climate Changes

D．Two Climate Scientists Develop a Scientific Method

A teacher said she would like to raise the child. She pointed out that she could ensure her a_good_education. A farmer offered her an_upbringing (教养) on his farm. He pointed out that living on a farm was healthy and satisfying. Others spoke, giving their reasons why it was to the child's advantage to live with them.
