26、 The United States space agency will send a spacecraft to explore the sun more closely than ever before on Saturday. NASA'S Parker Solar Probe(探测器)will fly through the hot solar atmosphere and come within just 6 million kilometers of the sun's surface.
The Parker Probe will get almost seven times closer to the sun than earlier spacecraft. To do this, it will fly past Venus(金星)seven times over seven years. Each pass will change the probe's orbit by providing a gravity push. It will move ever closer to the sun and straight into the corona(日冕), the sun's outermost atmosphere.
By exploring the sun's corona, scientists hope to learn why it is hundreds of times hotter than the sun's surface. They will also study what drives the solar wind.
The project was proposed in 1958, the same year NASA was established. Now, "it's becoming a reality," said project manager Andy Driesman.
The Parker spacecraft has a 2.4 meter heat shield(护罩)that is 11 centimeters thick. It is made of two carbon sheets. The front has a white coating to reflect sunlight. It is expected to shine red when it experiences the extreme solar heat. Almost everything on the spacecraft will be behind this shield to keep its scientific instruments relatively cool.
Besides, the spacecraft will also be traveling at a high speed. The probe will reach 690,000 kilometers per hour in the corona. The spacecraft will make its first flight past Venus in early October. Its first pass by the sun is expected in November.
The Parker Solar Probe is the first NASA spacecraft to be named after someone who is still alive. Eugene Parker is a 91-year-old professor at the University of Chicago. He predicted the existence of solar wind 60 years ago. He plans to be at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in the southern state of Florida to see the launch.
【1】What's the advantage of the Parker Probe compared to the earlier ones?
A.It can change the orbit by flying past the sun.
B.It can get closer to the sun and into the corona.
C.It can study the effect of solar wind.
D.It can fly through the hot solar atmosphere without protection.
【2】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Human had little achievements in exploring the sun.
B.Eugene Parker is the first one to study the sun.
C.The Parker Probe has to get close to the sun with the help of Venus.
D.Human can get close to the sun's surface within 6 million kilometers today.
【3】What can we learn about Eugene Parker?
A.He started NASA.
B.He foresaw the solar wind when he was 31.
C.He designed the Parker spacecraft.
D.He will study the sun using the Parker spacecraft.
【4】Judging from the content, the passage most probably belongs to .
A.a story book B.an advertisement
C.a science fiction D.a news report
27、 My sisters and I have a secret beach of our own. It's our magic beach. We go there most days. Not far from our house, it's just at the end of the path that runs by our house. The sand is smooth and white, and the water is clear and warm. The days are sunny.
My sisters and i are the only ones who play there. At our magic beach, we play in the sand for hours, digging and building with buckets and spades, unbeatable castles and towers. We search in the clear, warm pools, staring at starfish, crabs and tiny fish. Sometimes, we are fearsome pirates (海盗) coming ashore to bury treasure. Sometimes, we pretend that we are lost on a “lonely island”. We don't wait to be rescued. No! We rescue ourselves. Girls are tough! Girls are clever!
The best thing about our beach is that it's magical. Really magical. One night, when both my sisters and I were on the beach, something really special happened. Sparks (火花) flew out from our feet every time we moved. If we stamped hard, then big sparks flew. Blue sparks! Yellow sparks! This was magic. We knew it! The magic was everywhere. My father said that it was just little, tiny creatures that had been washed ashore. “It’s just nature, Jane,” he said. For just a moment I felt disappointed. Then I wondered how such small creatures could give so much beautiful light. “I guess that’s the best kind of magic,” I replied.
【1】Where is the magic beach?
A. On a sandy island. B. Not far from a river.
C. Near Jane’s house. D. Along the path.
【2】How do girls end their game on the “lonely island”?
A. They hide in their castles.
B. The find their own way out.
C. They ask their parents for help.
D. They wait for someone to come.
【3】What was the magic according to Jane’s father?
A. Sea sand. B. Their imagination.
C. The stars. D. Small animals.
28、 At your next meeting, wait for a pause (停顿) in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.
Among English speakers, it is probable that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our understanding of silence differs greatly across cultures.
What one culture considers a confusing or embarrassing pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of thought and respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch (荷兰语) and also in English found that when a silence in conversation lasts four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. However, another study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds—nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings.
In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don’t speak at all. It’s already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you’re repairing that failure by using words.
In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial (殖民地的) America as a crossroads of many different races (种族). When you have difference, it’s hard to reach common understanding unless you talk and there’s understandably a kind of anxiety unless people use words to establish a common life. This applies also to some extent to London.
However, when there’s more homogeneity, perhaps it’s easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’re less well know.
【1】Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation?
A.The Dutch
B.The American
C.The English
D.The Japanese
【2】What might the Japanese agree with in a conversation?
A.Speaking more gives the upper hand.
B.Speak out what you have in your mind.
C.Great minds think alike without words.
D.The shorter talking silence, the better.
【3】What can we learn from the text?
A.A four second silence in conversation is universal.
B.It’s hard for American to reach a common agreement.
C.English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakers.
D.The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appears.
【4】What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Similarity
B.Difference
C.Disagreement
D.Misunderstanding
