Loud cheers and applause broke out at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab on Monday, November 25, 2018, as the unmanned lander, called Insight, touched down on Mars, after nearly seven

years from design to launch to landing.

The great arrival of the spacecraft—designed to listen for quakes and shakes as a way to discover the Red Planet’s inner secrets, how it formed billions of years ago and, how other planets like Earth took shape—marked the eighth successful landing on Mars in Nasa’s history.

Minutes after InSight landed on the surface of Mars, the first image was sent back, showing a wide flat area as seen through a dirty camera.

The touchdown came after a nearly seven-month, 300 million-mile travel from Earth to Mars, during which the InSight spacecraft had to slow down from a speed of more than 12,000 mph. The spacecraft’s heat shelter helped the lander survive temperatures as high as 2,700℉.

Each step along the way was watched nervously at JPL, with updates delayed by the eight-minute light travel time between Earth and Mars. Mission controllers hugged each other with joy when the signals were received. “We are proud of everything that has gone on today,” they told us reporters.

The first picture of the surface of Mars was sent back to Earth by one of the MarCO nanosatellites (马可纳米卫星) that accompanied InSight during its travel to Mars. The dust from the landing made the view unclear. Pictures from it were expected to be clearer once the dust settled and the lens cover (镜头盖) was removed.

Hours later, InSight’s batteries were charging as expected. The InSight team also passed on another picture, taken by a different camera that’s fixed on the lander’s robotic arm. The view is clearer, showing the robotic arm and the seismometer, which is used to discover the actual movement of the ground.

1.What do we know about InSight lander from the passage?

A.It has landed successfully on Mars eight times.

B.It travelled all the way at the speed of 12,000 mph.

C.Mission controllers helped it survive high temperature.

D.The task of it is to find out the inner mysteries of Mars.

2.We know what Mars looks like by _______.

A.studying pictures InSight lander sends back

B.reading reports sent back by the person on Mars

C.collecting images sent back by MarCO nanosatellites

D.analyzing information the robot on InSight lander sends back

3.How did the mission controllers feel when they received signals from Insight?

A.Unconcerned. B.Worried.

C.Amazed. D.Excited.

4.The passage is most probably taken from _______.

A.a fiction novel B.a news report

Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder． The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFF SENTENCE．

Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Gumming, aged 32, laborer, last July．The jury （陪审团） reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment to the court．It was, said the Judge, a simple case．Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Gumming．When arrested, Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking．

Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour．Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, "Just don't tell my mother．"

" It happened over three years ago," Paddy said helplessly．No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do．"Just don't tell my mother," said Fee numbly （麻木地）．"And no one did! Oh,God' My poor, poor Frank!"

Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said．"Fee, pack your things．We'll go to see him．"

She half-rose before sinking back．her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead．"I can't go," she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there．"It would kill him to see me．I know him so well—his pride, his ambition．Let him bear the shame alone, it's what he wants．We've got to help him keep his secret．What good will it do him to see us?"

Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee's face, for the dying in her eyes．Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself．He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children．Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank look it away．But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank．

So he said, "Well, Fee, we won't go．But we must make sure he is taken care of．How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?"

There was no excitement in the eyes, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks．" Yes, Paddy, do that．Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out．Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know．"

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Frank was found guilty of murder because he was a professional boxer．

B．The family didn't find out what happened to Frank until three years later．

C．The jury and the judge disagreed on whether Frank had committed murder．

D．Frank didn't want his family to find out what happened because Paddy disliked him．

2.Paddy cried because he thought ______．

A．Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment

B．Frank should have told Fee what had happened

C．what had happened to Frank was killing Fee

D．Frank had always been a man of bad moral character

3.The underlined sentence "She half-rose before sinking back…" （ Paragraph 6） shows that________.

A．Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up

B．Fee didn't want to upset Paddy by visiting Frank

C．Fee couldn't leave her family to go to see Frank

D．Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish

4.Which of the following suggests that Fee was deeply shocked by what happened to Frank?

A．"Her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead．"

B．"Let him bear the shame alone, it's what he wants．"

C．"Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away．"

D．"There was no excitement in the eyes, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks．"

5.What is Frank and Paddy's probable relationship with Fee?

A．Son and brother．                                        B．Son and husband．

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

It's comforting to think if you were somehow swallowed by a whale, you'd simply hang out in his stomach until he eventually spat you out, unharmed and whole. Unfortunately, your chance of ending up in this type of situation is pretty low.

In 2012 reporter Ben Shattuck read the records at the New Bedford Whaling Museum Research Library. Despite his extensive research at one of the most comprehensive whaling archives(档案), he failed to find a single report of anyone ever being swallowed alive by a whale. He found plenty of reports of whalers who were bitten or injured by the creatures, and several who died after fighting with a whale, but none related to swallowing.

With whales' large mouths, it certainly seems possible that a whale could swallow someone whole, so why is it so unlikely? Baleen whales, or whales without teeth, are some of the largest creatures on the planet. Despite their massive size, baleen whales could never get you into their bellies thanks to their relatively small esophagus(食道). These whales are designed to eat small sea creatures, and the opening in their throat is only about as large as a baske tball, so you'd never make it that far.

But what about toothed whales? Sperm whales eat whole seals, so you could easily fit down their throats and into their stomachs. However, once you reached the first of the sperm whale's four stomachs, your journey would probably end quickly. Not only would the whale's stomach acid make quick work of you, but you'd experience a distinct lack of air on the inside. Actually, you're more likely to get eaten or injured as you try to make it past the sperm whale's sharp teeth. Plenty of whalers, have fought with sperm whales and lost their hands or lives due to these mean teeth.

1.What did Ben Shattuck's research in 2012 show?

A. Many people had been killed by whales.

B. Only a single whale had swallowed people.

C. Whales had often been injured by whalers.

D. No whales had been found swallowing people.

2.What can we learn about baleen whales in this text?

A. They have only a few teeth.

B. They like big sea creatures best.

C. They have relatively small esophagus.

D. They are the largest animals in the world.

3.What is the most likely tool for sperm whales to injure humans?

A. Their throats.

B. The four stomachs.

C. The inside of the stomach.

D. The mean teeth.

4.What may be the best tide for the text?

A. Will Whales Kill Humans?

B. Can Whales Swallow People Alive?

C. Do Whales only Eat Small Creatures?

D. How Can People Research on Whales?
