So when her teacher Andrea Smeeton received information about the national challenge, Smeeton said she immediately had one student in mind.“I knew she would love the challenge and that she would go way beyond in her search，” Smeeton said. “She immediately started researching bone density(密度) of astronauts and how to have food on Mars.”“My design will ensure the safety of the astronauts but also make sure their comfort is out of this world，” Dobek says.Dobek's design calls for building the MSS or Mars Storage Station to put the supplies in. It also includes the SGF or SelfGrowing Farm, and she details how it would work with the elements on Mars.Then there is physical and leisure activity for the astronauts under Dobek's design. A simulator (模拟装置) allows astronauts to choose their exercise machine and virtual reality environment. Rooms have circular ceilings so astronauts will be able to watch downloaded shows and even see places on Earth, such as their homes.“I want to tell other kids to follow their passions，” Dobek said. “Whatever they want to do, they should push for it and always try their best.”【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了小学生Emilia Dobek设计太空站，并赢得挑战的相关内容。

The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work.In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans，but also have enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip.Moreover，robots have no problems working for hours on end.Robots never complain，they don't require food or water，and they never need a bathroom break.Space Travel. Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space.Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are the Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars.They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars' history.36．Which column of the passage could come from?A．Education. B．Finance.C．Travel. D．Science.37．The underlined phrase “withstand” most probably means “________”．A．arise B．bear C．defeat D．diverse38．What is the writer's attitude in writing this passage?A．Negative. B．Persuasive.C．Subjective. D．Objective.39．While sending an astronaut into the space，we should consider the following except ________.A．the radiation B．the oxygenC．the diet D．the alienⅣ.单词拼写根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词，在横线上写出对应单词的正确、完整形式，每空只写一词。

Unit 4 Astronomy the science of the stars李仕才一、浏览理解。
Life can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges, setbacks(挫折) and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desires that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls(圈套) that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and what we’re seemingly able to have is the niggling(烦人的)suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it’s easier to just give up. But we’re never meant to let go of part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us —the real us. It’s the part that believes in the life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little ＂dead＂ inside because you’re dropping ＂you＂.So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck，how do we break these patterns?Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today’s challenges.While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mind — or the minds of those close to us —usually says we can’t. That isn’t a reason to stop, it’s just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. It’s all about starting simple and doing it now.Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, release from the jail of your mind and you’ll be on your way.1. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ________.A. slow down and live a simple lifeB. be careful when we choose to changeC. stick to our dreams under any circumstancesD. be content with what we already have2. What is the key to breaking the old patterns?A. To focus on every detail.B. To decide and take immediate action.C. To listen to those close to us.D. To think twice before we act.3. Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?A. Escape from your punishment.B. Realization of your dreams.C. Freedom from your tension.D. Reduction of your expectations.4. What does the author intend to tell us?A. It’s easier than we think to get what we want.B. It’s important to learn to accept sufferings in life.C. It’s impractical to change our way of thinking.D. It’s harder than we expect to follow a new course.【文章大意】本文是一篇谈论文。

课时作业14 Astronomy：the science of the stars Ⅰ.阅读理解In Los Angeles, drivers spend sixtyone hours every year stuck in traffic. These drivers know all too well how bad the traffic can be. “There're too many cars, and you can't move around a lot.”Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams. He lives more than 65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. He is always late even with the help of a navigation (导航) system.He decided to develop a program called ClearPath for that. He says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house. “What's unique is that we use a lot of data that's currently become available including traffic data, weather data, and we analyze that so that we can predict what's going to happen in front of you when you leave home.”Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just respond to current traffic conditions. With ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give the fastest route. It looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road. Professor Shahabi hopes to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities.“I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic, but now I know that Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong certainly are examples that can immediately use this.”Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have navigation systems, such as Google and Apple.1．Drivers in Los Angeles were mentioned in order to ______.A．show care for them B．introduce their lifeC．solve traffic problems D．raise the topic2．What is unique about ClearPath?A．It can use a lot of information all over the world.B．It can ensure that you will never be late for work.C．It helps drivers see clearly what happens on the road.D．It helps drivers know the road conditions ahead of time.3．The underlined word “hits” in the fourth paragraph probably means ________.A．have an accident B．get toC．turn left or right D．collect traffic data4．What's Professor Shahabi's attitude toward his invention?A．Disappointed. B．Proud.C．Optimistic. D．Worried.答案与解析1．D 写作意图题。

He created the Uncle Milton Ant Farm more than half a century ago. Today, grandchildren of the first ant colony owners are watching ants working hard on the ton Levine was not trained in the study of insects, also known as entomology. But he knew a lot about ants, and he designed an appealing way to share his knowledge.Mr Levine began his career as a maker of unusual toys after World War Ⅱ. He had returned to his birthplace in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania，after serving in the United States military.He got the idea for his future career from a business newsletter, which suggested that the best chances for jobs at the time were in toys. He decided to make toys. They understood that American society was about to change. The huge population increase known as the Baby Boom was beginning. There would be a huge demand for children's toys.One day, he saw ants parading around a swimming pool.The sight made Mr Levine remember how much he had liked watching ants as a boy on his uncle's farm. Those thoughts gave him the idea for the Uncle Milton Ant Farm.Milton Levine developed a narrow, green plastic container. The top looked like a farm, showing a farmhouse, a barn, a bridge and a windmill(风车)．Under those images was a divider that separated the ants' underground and abovegroundareas.Under that was the sand where people could watch the ants digging passageways.The first Uncle Milton Ant Farms were an immediate success.They were sold in 1956.Two years later，two million of the educational toys had been sold.Through the years the toys continued to attract antwatchers. People buy Uncle Milton Ant Farms from stores and order from websites. During his life, Mr Levine saw the sale of more than twenty million of his ant colonies.The Uncle Milton Ant Farm tells far more than how to care for the ants. For example, people receiving an Uncle Milton Ant Farm learn that the little insects are strong. Some can carry loads fifty times heavier than they are.

In some, the use of languages other than the national language is bannedin public spaces such as advertising posters. One of the first such legal provisions was the 1994 “Toubon law” in France, and the idea has been copied in many countries since then. Such efforts to govern language use are often considered as futile by language experts, who are well aware of the difficulty in controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process.It is especially difficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the “purity” of a language by law. Since the time of Shakespeare, English has continually absorbed foreign words into its own language. English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world, but that has not been a barrier to acquiring superiority and power. Another reason for the failure of many native English speakers to understand the role of the state regulation is that it has never been the AngloSaxon way of doing things. English has never had a statecontrolled authority for the language, similar, for example, to the Academic Francaise in France.The need to protect national languages is, for most western Europeans, a recent phenomenon—especially the need to ensure that English does not unnecessarily take over too many fields. Public communication, education and new ways of communication promoted by technology, may be key fields to defend.20．Neville Alexander believes that ________.A．mothertongue education is not practiced in all African countriesB．globalization has resulted in the economic failure of AfricaC．globalization has led to the rise of multilanguage trendD．lack of mothertongue education can lead to economic failure21．The underlined word “futile” (in Paragraph 2) most probably means“________”.A．workable B．practicalC．useless D．unnecessary22．Why do many Englishspeaking countries not support the language protection efforts described in the passage?A．They have a long history of taking words from other languages.B．They want their language to spread to other countries.C．They think language protection laws are ineffective.D．It reduces a language's ability to acquire international importance.23．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．English has taken over fields like public communication and education.B．Many aspects of national culture are threatened by the spread of English.C．Most language experts believe it is important to promote a national language.D．Europeans have long realized the need to protect a national language.24．The best title for the passage is “________”.A．Fighting against the rule of EnglishB．Protecting local languages and identitiesC．Globalization and multilanguage trendD．To maintain the purity of language by law课时作业(十四)Ⅰ.1.D 考查冠词。

>课时提能练(十四)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2019·长沙测评)Scientists found gravitational waves as they watched the effects of two black holes running into each other and forming a much bigger one，a century after Albert Einstein predicted that such an event would send ripples(波纹) through spacetime.Scientists“heard”the wave with the help of laser beams(激光束) sent through two pipes which form an angle of 90° between each other and are nearly 2，000 miles apart in the US.That equipment let them glimpse the nature of black holes.Together they made up the Laser Interferometer GravitationalWave Observatory(LIGO)．Gravitational waves were first observed in September 2015 and the second detection(发现) occurred three months later.The third detection，which the astronomers called GW170104，was made on January 4，2017.The astronomers believed their latest finding“provides clues about the directions in which the black holes are spinning”．“Black holes are beautifully simple.You just need two numbers to describe them completely：mass，how much they bend spacetime，and a spin，how much spacetime moves about them，”said Dr. Christopher Berry of the University of Birmingham，one of the 更多优质资料请关注公众号：诗酒叙华年researchers in the project.“But it takes lots of hard work to measure these from our data.We now have wonderful mass measurements，and are starting to uncover details about the spins of these black holes，which could give evidence for how they formed.”The researchers said their discovery added further evidence to support Einstein's general theory of relativity and confirmed the existence of previously unknown black holes.More than 1，000 scientists from the LIGO Scientific Collaboration were involved in the project along with an additional 280 researchers from the Europeanbased Virgo Collaboration.Scientists hope gravitational waves will offer a completely different view of the universe，allowing them to study events that might be hidden from traditional telescopes.“We have further confirmation of the existence of stellar(恒星的)mass black holes that are larger than 20 solar mas ses.We didn't know they existed before LIGO detected them，”MIT researcher David Shoemaker said.【语篇解读】本文是一篇科普说明文。
