UNIT 2 课时跟踪检测（二） 语言运用综合练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 Designing a ballistic missile (弹道式导弹) is no easy task — in fact, it takes a rocket scientist.But equally important are the teams working in the background, making it function properly. Xu Liping leads a team of propellant­processing (推进剂处理) engineers at the Xi'an Aerospace Chemical Propulsion Factory in Shaanxi Province.Every working day, Xu and his workmates deal with one of the most dangerous materials on Earth — highly explosive propellant designed for use in rocket engines. Nowadays, a large part of the work they do is automated, but the most skillful part must still be done by hand. Using small tools, they carefully clean the surfaces of the propellants.Xu and his team must also always be mindful that even the smallest mistake of the hand at the wrong moment could result in a great explosion which can destroy their whole workshop. “We must all be familiar with the propellants' characters.Our work requires an extremely high level of concentration because the things we work with are highly explosive.We also have to work together，” he said.Xu, who has been in the business for 30 years, is still considered the master, and is always called upon first when propellant for a newly developed rocket needs to be processed. The proudest moment for the team came in 2015, Xu said, when they watched on television as the important ballistic missiles they had worked on were paraded in front of Tian'anmen Square in Beijing.“In addition to professional knowledge and a sense of pride, we also have the spirit of innovation among our young people，” he said. Zhang Kangzhu, Xu's leader, said Xu's devotion to his work was an inspiration to all.He said the younger employees could learn much from Xu. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了有“大国工匠”之称的航空人徐立平。 1．What do we know about Xu Liping's work?
