Dealing with space junk
In 1957, the Space Age began with the launch of Sputnik 1, the first human-made satellite. Since then, the number of objects humans have launched into the universe has risen to the thousands. As these objects complete their missions or become inoperable(不实用的), they are left in orbit and would crash into one another, creating numerous floating pieces. Data show the number of space junk around Earth-from satellites to screws-could reach millions.
Most of the junk sits within 1, 250 miles of Earth’s surface in what is known as the low Earth orbit, home to lots of satellites, such as NASA’s Earth Observing System fleet and the International Space Station. While space is big, a crash into space junk as small as 1 centimeter can be problematic for active earth orbiters because of their dangerously fast speeds. And the possible risk can force spacecraft to be redirected, breaking pre-planned procedures like space walks. These satellites have to move out of the way of all the space junk to make sure they don’t get hit and damaged or destroyed.
One possible solution? Apply ideas of green sustainability(可持续性)to the companies and governments that do the launching, says Danielle Wood, an assistant professor of aeronautics and astronautics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The effort begins with the Space Sustainability Rating(SSR), a system that measures many aspects of launching agencies, such as crash preparedness, information sharing and future junk reductions. One company has already applied to be assessed and received a certification(证书)using SSR. The original rating was bronze, the lowest of four possible ratings.
“Our first rating was low, but in some ways, it means there’s room for improvement,” says Wood. For her, the first rating is simply the entry point for an ongoing conversation with outside companies in the space industry. A company’s rating is changeable based on their ongoing missions and efforts. The goal is for companies to increasingly shoulder the social responsibility of being major players influencing the future of space exploration and technology.
4. Which source of space junk is mentioned in the text?
A. Waste from doing experiments in space.
B. The crashes between inactive spacecraft.
C. The sudden burst of man-made satellites.
D. Waste produced by astronauts living in space.
5. What problem may space junk cause according to the author?
A. Blocking satellite services. B. Breaking one of Earth’s orbits.
C. Polluting Earth’s atmosphere. D. Affecting space exploration activities.
6. What does the SSR system mainly do?
A Design junk-free paths for spacecraft.
B. Grow green plants in the space environment.
C. Provide space junk monitoring services for governments.
D. Evaluate sustainable practices of launching organizations.
7. What is Danielle Wood’s attitude towards the first rating of SSR?
A. Worried. B. Uninterested.
C. Positive. D. Disappointed.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,主要介绍了随着人类发射到宇宙的物品的数量的增加,太空垃圾也随之增加,这会影响太空探索活动。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Since then, the number of objects humans have launched into the universe has risen to the thousands. As these objects complete their missions or become inoperable(不实用的), they are left in orbit and would crash into one another, creating numerous floating pieces.(从那时起,人类向宇宙发射的物体数量已经上升到数千个。当这些物体完成它们的任务或变得不实用时,它们会留在轨道上,并会相互碰撞,形成许多漂浮的碎片。)”可知,文章提到了失效的航天器之间的碰撞会成为太空垃圾的来源。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“And the possible risk can force spacecraft to be redirected, breaking pre-planned procedures like space walks. These satellites have to move out of the way of all the space junk to make sure they don’t get hit and damaged or destroyed.(可能的风险会迫使航天器重新定向,破坏预先计划的程序,比如太空行走。这些卫星必须避开所有太空垃圾,以确保它们不会被击中、损坏或摧毁)”可知,太空垃圾可能会影响太空探索活动。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The effort begins with the Space Sustainability Rating, a system that measures many aspects of launching agencies, such as crash preparedness, information sharing and future junk reductions.(这项工作从太空可持续性评级(Space Sustainability Rating)开始,这是一个衡量发射机构诸多方面的系统,如坠毁准备、信息共享和未来垃圾减少等)”可知,SSR系统可以用来评估发射机构的可持续实践。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Our first rating was low, but in some ways, it means there’s room for improvement,” says Wood. For her, the first rating is simply the entry point for an ongoing conversation with outside companies in the space industry. A company’s rating is changeable based on their ongoing missions and efforts. The goal is for companies to increasingly shoulder the social responsibility of being major players influencing the future of space exploration and technology.(“我们的第一次评级很低,但在某些方面,这意味着还有改进的空间,”伍德说。对她来说,第一个评级只是与太空行业外部公司进行持续对话的切入点。一个公司的评级是根据他们正在进行的任务和努力而变化的。目标是让公司越来越多地承担起社会责任,成为影响太空探索和技术未来的主要参与者)”可知,Wood认为第一次SSR评级有改进的空间,目标是让公司越来越多地承担起社会责任,因此,她对此的态度是积极的。故选C。
C
As humans, we almost always want to land the next promotion or the next big raise, or to strike it rich in some other way. Now a new study offers hope to those of us who have yet to become rich suddenly.
Researchers from the University of Cambridge analyzed close to 77,000 financial transactions (交易) completed by 625 consumers in the UK over six months. The transactions were sorted into 59 groups that matched with different personality characteristics, such as openness to a new experience or if someone is self-controlled or easy-going. The participants were also judged as to their personality types and how happy they were with their lives. According to the study, extroverts (性格外向者) spent about S60 more a year at clubs than introverts. And people who were mindful of their health spent about $140 more a year on health and fitness than people who were less concerned with health.
Researchers then conducted a second experiment where people were given money and required to spend it in a certain way. Extroverts who were required to spend their money at a club, where they would be able to socialize, were more satisfied with their experience than introverts who were sent to clubs. And introverts who were asked to spend their cash at a bookstore were happier than extroverts who were sent to bookstores.
Some people with low incomes may not have enough extra cash to worry about whether their spending matches their personality or other goals. To be honest, having more money on hand can make life a little easier. Once the basics like food and shelter are taken care of, people may be more likely to spend the income meeting some of their other goals and needs.
When you do have extra cash, the lesson is that it pays to think carefully about what you're really trying to accomplish, according to Sandra Matz, one of the study authors. “Oftentimes we just buy stuff our friends have or that our impulsiveness (冲动) leads us to buy,” she said. “What we should do instead is ask ourselves whether spending money on a certain product will actually help us to lead the lifestyle that we want to lead.”
8. What do the results of the transactions analysis imply?
A. Extroverts make more money than introverts.
B. Spending choices reflect individual personalities.
C. British consumers exhibit daring spending behavior.
D. An individual's personality affects their level of happiness.
9. What is the purpose of the second experiment?
A. To compare extroverts’ spending habits with introverts.
B. To confirm the personality-spending satisfaction link.
C. To prove money can indeed buy happiness.
D. To observe if free money goes faster.
10. Which statement best reflects the view in Paragraph 4?
A. Personalities influence spending habits the most.
B. Low-income people are hesitant to show their needs.
C. High-income people tend to spend money impulsively.
D. Sufficient income permits personality-based spending.
11. What might Sandra Matz suggest people do?
A. Earn more money to pursue a desired lifestyle.
B. Pay attention to low-income groups.
C. Be self-aware of the spending.
D. Fulfill basic needs first.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. C

And people who were mindful of their health spent about $140 more a year on health and fitness than people who were less concerned with health.”(剑桥大学的研究人员分析了625名消费者在六个月内完成的近77,000笔交易。这些交易被分成59个与不同个性特征相匹配的组,例如对新体验的开放性或者某人是否自我控制或随和。研究人员还根据参与者的性格类型和他们对生活的满意度对他们进行了评判。根据这项研究,外向的人每年在俱乐部的花费比内向的人多60美元。关注健康的人每年在健康和健身方面的花费比不太关注健康的人多140美元。)可知,消费选择反映了个人的性格特征。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Researchers then conducted a second experiment where people were given money and required to spend it in a certain way. Extroverts who were required to spend their money at a club, where they would be able to socialize, were more satisfied with their experience than introverts who were sent to clubs. And introverts who were asked to spend their cash at a bookstore were happier than extroverts who were sent to bookstores.”(研究人员然后进行了第二次实验,人们被给予金钱并被要求以某种方式花费。在俱乐部花钱的外向者比被送到俱乐部的内向者更满意他们的体验。而被要求在书店花钱的内向者比被送到书店的外向者更快乐。)可知,第二次实验的目的是确认性格与消费满意度之间的联系。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Once the basics like food and shelter are taken care of, people may be more likely to spend the income meeting some of their other goals and needs.”(一旦食物和住所等基本生活得到照顾,人们可能更有可能将收入用于满足其他一些目标和需求)可推知,有足够的收入可以让人们根据自己的性格特征进行消费。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“What we should do instead is ask ourselves whether spending money on a certain product will actually help us to lead the lifestyle that we want to lead.”(相反,我们应该问问自己,在某种产品上花钱是否真的会帮助我们过上我们想要的生活方式。)可知,Sandra Matz建议人们意识到消费。故选C。
D
Did you know that the sun has weather? The sun’s weather, called space weather, can affect the entire solar system. The sun is continuously blowing a stream of tiny particles (颗粒) in all directions, called the solar wind, which is mostly made up of hydrogen (氢). It blows at hundreds of kilometres per second and has been blowing onto the Earth for billions of years.
But why hasn’t it crashed into us? Actually, the Earth has a magnetic field (磁场), which causes the planet to act like a giant magnet in space and protects the Earth from the solar wind. The Earth’s magnetic field is what causes a compass to work. The magnetic field can’t be seen, but we can measure it with magnets and other scientific instruments.
The particles that make up the solar wind are made to change direction by the Earth’s magnetic field, so they mostly pass around the Barth without crashing into us. But it’s not an immaculate protection — because of the shape of the Earth’s magnetic field, close to the North and South Poles, a little bit of the solar wind can sometimes get through and crash directly into the atmosphere.
This crash happens between very tiny particles at an incredible speed. Therefore, instead of throwing off smaller pieces or exploding, the particles give off light, causing polar lights. The colors of the light tell us what type of atmospheric particle is being crashed into by the solar wind. For example, red and green are from oxygen.
What the polar lights, also known as auroras, exactly look like depends on the state of the Earth’s magnetic field and the atmosphere, but more directly depends on space weather. Sometimes the sun produces a storm, which typically will cause an impressive view of auroras only for people who live in the far north and south of the world, underneath the part of the Earth’s magnetic field that can let the solar wind through. But sometimes, a really powerful storm can cause the auroras to be visible in some other places as well.
12. What is mentioned about the magnetic field?
A. It can be measured by a compass. B. It saves the Earth from external hits.
C. It attracts the solar wind to the Earth. D. It can be seen with scientific instruments.
13. What does the underlined word “immaculate” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Perfect. B. Common. C. Impressive. D. Changeable.
14. What can be a main factor impacting the color of the polar lights?
A. The speed of the solar wind. B. The tiny colorful objects in space.
C. The shape of the Earth’s magnetic field. D. The affected particle types in the atmosphere.
15. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A. Powerful storms happen frequently on the sun.
B. Space weather may widen the Earth’s magnetic field.
C. Solar winds“ force plays a role in auroras” visible range.
D. Auroras’ appearance relies mostly on the Earth’s atmosphere.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,介绍了太阳风的构成和作用,同时解释了地球磁场在保护地球中的作用并解释了极光现象的成因。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Actually, the Earth has a magnetic field(磁场), which causes the planet to act like a giant magnet in space and protects the Earth from the solar wind. The Earth’s magnetic field is what causes a compass to work. The magnetic field can’t be seen, but we can measure it with magnets and other scientific instruments.(实际上,地球有一个磁场,它使地球在太空中像一个巨大的磁铁,保护地球免受太阳风的影响。地球磁场是指南针工作的原因。磁场是看不见的,但我们可以用磁铁和其他科学仪器来测量)”可知,磁场保护地球免受外部冲击。故选B。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第三段划线词前文“The particles that make up the solar wind are made to change direction by the Earth’s magnetic field, so they mostly pass around the Barth without crashing into us.(构成太阳风的粒子受到地球磁场的影响而改变方向,所以它们大多绕过巴斯而不会撞到我们)”及下文“because of the shape of the Earth’s magnetic field, close to the North and South Poles, a little bit of the solar wind can sometimes get through and crash directly into the atmosphere.(由于地球磁场的形状,靠近南极和北极,有时一小部分太阳风可以穿过并直接撞入大气层)”可知,磁场会阻止太阳风影响地球,但不是完美的,有时候一小部分太阳风会撞入大气层,划线词immaculate表示“完美的”,与perfect意思相近。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“The colors of the light tell us what type of atmospheric particle is being crashed into by the solar wind. For example, red and green are from oxygen.(光的颜色告诉我们被太阳风撞击的是什么类型的大气粒子。例如,红色和绿色来自氧气)”可知,影响极光颜色的主要因素是大气中受影响的粒子类型。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Sometimes the sun produces a storm, which typically will cause an impressive view of auroras only for people who live in the far north and south of the world, underneath the part of the Earth’s magnetic field that can let the solar wind through.(有时太阳会产生一场风暴,这种风暴通常只会给居住在地球极北和极南地区的人们带来令人印象深刻的极光,这些地区位于可以让太阳风通过的地球磁场之下)”可知,太阳风有时候会产生风暴,会产生极光,这些地区位于能让太阳风通过的地球磁场,由此推断,太阳风的“力量”在极光的可见范围中发挥作用。故选C。

The Meredith family lived in a small community. As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.
Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them.
One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy -his name was Bernard-had interested her very much.
“I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don't see what he can do.”
After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.”
“So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.”
For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish (完成).”
The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us? Well, we can make popcorn (爆米花), and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.”

When they got home, they made a lot of popcorn and put it in the special bags. With the popcorn, they went to Bernard’s home. They told Bernard how to sell the popcorn. Bernard and his parents were very grateful. And the Meredith family also felt very happy to help this family.
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. He took the popcorn around to the houses and sold all his popcorn. He earned a lot of money. Then, he wanted to be self-dependent. Therefore, he asked Mrs. Meredith to teach him how to make popcorn. After that, not only did he sell popcorn, but he also added cream and salt to the popcorn to make it taste better. Bernard grew up to be a remarkable man. He did not forget the help of Meredith’s family, and he also did what he could to help those in need.

Dealing with space junk
In 1957, the Space Age began with the launch of Sputnik 1, the first human-made satellite. Since then, the number of objects humans have launched into the universe has risen to the thousands. As these objects complete their missions or become inoperable(不实用的), they are left in orbit and would crash into one another, creating numerous floating pieces. Data show the number of space junk around Earth-from satellites to screws-could reach millions.
Most of the junk sits within 1, 250 miles of Earth’s surface in what is known as the low Earth orbit, home to lots of satellites, such as NASA’s Earth Observing System fleet and the International Space Station. While space is big, a crash into space junk as small as 1 centimeter can be problematic for active earth orbiters because of their dangerously fast speeds. And the possible risk can force spacecraft to be redirected, breaking pre-planned procedures like space walks. These satellites have to move out of the way of all the space junk to make sure they don’t get hit and damaged or destroyed.
One possible solution? Apply ideas of green sustainability(可持续性)to the companies and governments that do the launching, says Danielle Wood, an assistant professor of aeronautics and astronautics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The effort begins with the Space Sustainability Rating(SSR), a system that measures many aspects of launching agencies, such as crash preparedness, information sharing and future junk reductions. One company has already applied to be assessed and received a certification(证书)using SSR. The original rating was bronze, the lowest of four possible ratings.
“Our first rating was low, but in some ways, it means there’s room for improvement,” says Wood. For her, the first rating is simply the entry point for an ongoing conversation with outside companies in the space industry. A company’s rating is changeable based on their ongoing missions and efforts. The goal is for companies to increasingly shoulder the social responsibility of being major players influencing the future of space exploration and technology.

As humans, we almost always want to land the next promotion or the next big raise, or to strike it rich in some other way. Now a new study offers hope to those of us who have yet to become rich suddenly.
Researchers from the University of Cambridge analyzed close to 77,000 financial transactions (交易) completed by 625 consumers in the UK over six months. The transactions were sorted into 59 groups that matched with different personality characteristics, such as openness to a new experience or if someone is self-controlled or easy-going. The participants were also judged as to their personality types and how happy they were with their lives. According to the study, extroverts (性格外向者) spent about S60 more a year at clubs than introverts. And people who were mindful of their health spent about $140 more a year on health and fitness than people who were less concerned with health.
Researchers then conducted a second experiment where people were given money and required to spend it in a certain way. Extroverts who were required to spend their money at a club, where they would be able to socialize, were more satisfied with their experience than introverts who were sent to clubs. And introverts who were asked to spend their cash at a bookstore were happier than extroverts who were sent to bookstores.
Some people with low incomes may not have enough extra cash to worry about whether their spending matches their personality or other goals. To be honest, having more money on hand can make life a little easier. Once the basics like food and shelter are taken care of, people may be more likely to spend the income meeting some of their other goals and needs.
When you do have extra cash, the lesson is that it pays to think carefully about what you're really trying to accomplish, according to Sandra Matz, one of the study authors. “Oftentimes we just buy stuff our friends have or that our impulsiveness (冲动) leads us to buy,” she said. “What we should do instead is ask ourselves whether spending money on a certain product will actually help us to lead the lifestyle that we want to lead.”
8. What do the results of the transactions analysis imply?
A Extroverts make more money than introverts.
B. Spending choices reflect individual personalities.
C British consumers exhibit daring spending behavior.
D. An individual's personality affects their level of happiness.
9. What is the purpose of the second experiment?
A To compare extroverts’ spending habits with introverts.
B. To confirm the personality-spending satisfaction link.
C. To prove money can indeed buy happiness.
D. To observe if free money goes faster.
10. Which statement best reflects the view in Paragraph 4?
A. Personalities influence spending habits the most.
B. Low-income people are hesitant to show their needs.
C. High-income people tend to spend money impulsively.
D Sufficient income permits personality-based spending.
11. What might Sandra Matz suggest people do?
A. Earn more money to pursue a desired lifestyle.
B. Pay attention to low-income groups.
C. Be self-aware of the spending.
D. Fulfill basic needs first.
D
Did you know that the sun has weather? The sun’s weather, called space weather, can affect the entire solar system. The sun is continuously blowing a stream of tiny particles (颗粒) in all directions, called the solar wind, which is mostly made up of hydrogen (氢). It blows at hundreds of kilometres per second and has been blowing onto the Earth for billions of years.
But why hasn’t it crashed into us? Actually, the Earth has a magnetic field (磁场), which causes the planet to act like a giant magnet in space and protects the Earth from the solar wind. The Earth’s magnetic field is what causes a compass to work. The magnetic field can’t be seen, but we can measure it with magnets and other scientific instruments.
The particles that make up the solar wind are made to change direction by the Earth’s magnetic field, so they mostly pass around the Barth without crashing into us. But it’s not an immaculate protection — because of the shape of the Earth’s magnetic field, close to the North and South Poles, a little bit of the solar wind can sometimes get through and crash directly into the atmosphere.
This crash happens between very tiny particles at an incredible speed. Therefore, instead of throwing off smaller pieces or exploding, the particles give off light, causing polar lights. The colors of the light tell us what type of atmospheric particle is being crashed into by the solar wind. For example, red and green are from oxygen.
What the polar lights, also known as auroras, exactly look like depends on the state of the Earth’s magnetic field and the atmosphere, but more directly depends on space weather. Sometimes the sun produces a storm, which typically will cause an impressive view of auroras only for people who live in the far north and south of the world, underneath the part of the Earth’s magnetic field that can let the solar wind through. But sometimes, a really powerful storm can cause the auroras to be visible in some other places as well.
12. What is mentioned about the magnetic field?
A. It can be measured by a compass. B. It saves the Earth from external hits.
C. It attracts the solar wind to the Earth. D. It can be seen with scientific instruments.
13. What does the underlined word “immaculate” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Perfect. B. Common. C. Impressive. D. Changeable.
14. What can be a main factor impacting the color of the polar lights?
A. The speed of the solar wind. B. The tiny colorful objects in space.
C. The shape of the Earth’s magnetic field. D. The affected particle types in the atmosphere.
15. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A. Powerful storms happen frequently on the sun.
B. Space weather may widen the Earth’s magnetic field.
C. Solar winds“ force plays a role in auroras” visible range.
D. Auroras’ appearance relies mostly on the Earth’s atmosphere.

The Meredith family lived in a small community. As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.
Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them.
One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy -his name was Bernard-had interested her very much.
“I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don't see what he can do.”
After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.”
“So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.”
For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish (完成).”
The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us? Well, we can make popcorn (爆米花), and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.”
