(2024·高一下江西期末)Where is “space” exactly? This may seem like a simple question, but the answer may be more difficult than you think.
Nowadays, most countries are generally in agreement that space begins when Earth's atmosphere ends.But no one can tell where atmosphere actually ends and outer space begins.This leaves the door open for a variety of explanations until the Karman Line was recognized by international laws.The socalled Karman Line is an imaginary line 100 kilometers above Earth's surface.Once this line is crossed, the air is too thin and traditional planes would need to reach the speed of 30,564 kilometers per hour or risk falling back to Earth.According to the international laws, once pilots and aircraft cross that line, they are recognized as astronauts and spacecraft and are free to conduct space operations without concern for international borders (边境).
In the early age of space exploration, the US defined space differently and insisted that space start 19.3 kilometers below the Karman Line, since the US was confident that it would lead and remain to be the leader in the traditional aircraft industry.
Well aware that the US wanted to operate advanced spying (侦查) aircraft safely, many developing countries opposed the idea and sought to establish much higher space limits—965.6 kilometers above Earth's surface.This space limit makes things a bit difficult for every country, though.At that height, even the International Space Station and Tiangong Space Station (orbiting between 320 to 435 kilometers up), and many satellites (orbiting 869 kilometers up) would not be considered spacecraft!
In recent years, the US has been trying to determine a “safer border of space”.In 2009, it suggested that the border of space begin at 118 kilometers above Earth's surface.What was its argument this time? It said that many breakthroughs have been made in space and spying technologies by other countries!
[语篇解读]本文为一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了太空的起点在哪里的问题。
4.What is correct about the Karman Line according to the international laws?
A.It is unsafe for some countries.
B.Traditional planes should not cross it.
C.Pilots can fly freely above it.
D.It is the highest line pilots can reach.
C [细节理解题。根据文章第二段“According to the international laws, once pilots and aircraft cross that line, they are recognized as astronauts and spacecraft and are free to conduct space operations without concern for international borders (边境).”可知,根据国际法律,飞机一旦跨越了卡门线,就不用受国际边界的约束,能自由地飞行,故选C。]
5.Many less developed countries suggested that space begin at .
A.965.6 kilometers above Earth's surface
B.118 kilometers above Earth's surface
C.100 kilometers above Earth's surface
D.90.7 kilometers above Earth's surface
A [细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Well aware that the US wanted to operate advanced spying(侦查) aircraft safely, many developing countries opposed the idea and sought to establish much higher space limits—965.6 kilometers above Earth's surface.”可知,许多欠发达国家建议太空从地球表面以上965.6公里开始,故选A。]
6.What does the author most probably think of the US' suggestions?
A.Smart. B.Unfair.
C.Scientific. D.Uncreative.
B [推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知,美国因为认为其他国家在太空和间谍技术方面取得了许多突破,因此提出太空边界应始于地球表面以上118公里处,这只是为了它自己的利益出发,故可推知,作者认为美国的建议是不公平的,故选B。]
7.What is the best title for the text?
A.Where Does Space Begin Exactly?
B.How High Should the Karman Line Be?
C.How Can We Protect Our National Borders?
D.Why Does the US Want to Change the Karman Line?
A [标题归纳题。文章在第一段提出关于太空的起点在哪里的问题,后文分别介绍了不同的国家有不同的看法。由此可知,A项“太空到底从哪里开始?”为文章的最佳标题。故选A。]
