A
(2024·高一下甘肃兰州期末)A home science experiment recently took the world by storm.Two teens from Toronto, in Canada, sent a Lego man rising above the Earth and captured their tiny astronaut's trip on film.
Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17, used a weather balloon to launch their plastic lego model 16 miles above the Earth.This is inside a part of Earth's atmosphere.
The two teens were inspired by a similar project performed by students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).The MIT students had launched a weather balloon with a camera into near space and taken many unusual images of the Earth.Mathew and Asad then spent four months figuring out how to launch their own spacecraft into the space.Travelling to space is expensive for NASA, but Mathew and Asad worked hard to keep their costs down.They bought much of their equipment used.In total, the project cost only $400.
“We had a lot of anxiety on launch day because there were high winds when we were going up,” Mathew told reporters.They had to pump extra helium (氦) into the balloon so that it would rise quickly and avoid being blown too far off course by the strong winds.The toy astronaut's journey lasted 97 minutes before the balloon broke and he fell back to Earth.Mathew and Asad then spent two weekends looking for their spacecraft.It had landed 76 miles away from the launch site.
The student scientists are currently finishing up their final year of high school and applying for colleges.They are also looking into more doityourself space projects.“I guess the sky is not really the limit anymore,” Mathew told reporters.“We never knew we'd get this far.It's been a lesson for us that hard work pays off.”

(2024·高一下山东济南期末)We can see the moon every day, but in fact, humans have not been able to see the true face of the moon.For example, we all view the same side of it—the near side.So why don't we ever see the far side of the moon?
The secret behind this fascinating mystery is “tidal locking (潮汐锁定)”.To better understand it, let's imagine two friends holding hands and turning around.As they turn, they always face each other because they're locked in position by their hands.Similarly, the moon is locked to Earth by tidal force, which means it takes just as long for the moon to turn about its axis (轴) as it does to go around Earth.As a result, we always see the same side of the moon from our position on Earth, while the opposite side, known as the far side or the dark side, remains hidden from view.
Now, you might be wondering why people use the term “dark side” when referring to the far side of the moon.Contrary to popular belief, the far side isn't always in darkness.Like the near side, it experiences day and night.However, since we can't observe it from Earth, it often lies in mystery, and thus it gets this name.
Although we'll never see the far side of the moon directly from Earth, humanity has found ways to explore it.Several spacecrafts have taken photos which furthered our understanding of the lunar far side.In June 2024, China's Chang'e 6 made a soft landing on the far side of the moon and sent back more closeup photos.It brought back soil and rocks collected from there, opening a new chapter in lunar exploration and enabling scientists to discover what they didn't know about the moon.
There is still so much more to explore on the lunar far side.For example, the far side of the moon is a rare and quiet place free from radio signals reflecting from our planet, which allows scientists to study space phenomena with greater clarity, making it a perfect location for studying space using radio waves.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类无法看到月球背面的原因。
5.How does the writer explain “tidal locking” in Paragraph 2?
A.By analyzing data.
B.By quoting a study.
C.By giving an example.
D.By comparing findings.
C [推理判断题。根据文章第二段可知,通过举两个朋友牵手转身过来的例子,来说明潮汐锁定。故选C。]

A.There lives unknown life.
B.It shouldn't be disturbed.
C.It is visible from Earth.
D.There is no sunlight.

A.To share a wellknown legend.
B.To explain its working principle.
C.To promote an advanced technology.
