SpaceX's Starship sees the company get closer to its reusable rocket dream On Oct 13,2024,the US-based space tech company SpaceX successfully completed its fifth test flight of Starship,a powerful rocket,in Texas,US.This brought the company one step closer to its goal of creating reusable rockets,reported AFP. The giant rocket is 12-meter-tall and it(51) (consist)of two parts,the Starship spacecraft at the top and the Super Heavy rocket(52) (attach)below.Around seven minutes after launch,the two separated about 70 kilometers above the ground.The rocket's booster flew back and gradually adjusted(53) into a standing position.Then,it began to fall,as two large mechanical arms extended from the launch tower.Like a pair of chopsticks,they"caught" the 71-meter-tall booster and brought it down to a gentle stop.Later on,the spacecraft landed in the Indian Ocean as planned. SpaceX said on its website that its engineers"spent years preparing and months testing for the booster catch attempt".During the test,teams kept checking to ensure both the booster and the tower fit"thousands"of standards(54)any attempt to return the booster was made.Had the conditions not been satisfied,it would have been redirected for a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico,as in previous tests. SpaceX was founded in 2002 with the ultimate goal of helping humans settle on the moon, Mars and beyond.The company has grown rapidly into a leader in the space industry thanks to its strategy of "fail fast,learn fast".The Starship's first few test flights failed due to problems (55) explosions or a loss of contact.SpaceX sees failures as opportunities to gather data and speed up the creation of better systems than its competitors,(56) differs from the traditional approach of identifying and planning for potential problems before a launch, (57 practiced by organizations like NASA,which can be(58)(slow),according to The Conversation.For example,NASA's Space Launch System-the rocket designed to take astronauts to the moon as part of the Artemis program-took over 10 years(59) (develop) before its first launch. Starship represents an advancement over SpaceX's earlier reusable model,Falcon 9,as Starship's reusable rockets(60) now have their tanks refilled after a quick check and get ready for the next flight again."Starship is designed to achieve reflight of its rocket booster ultimately within an hour after liftoff,"Elon Musk said on X. 扫描全能王创建 可7只 Section C Directions:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used only once.Note that there is ONE WORD MORE than you need.

British cuisine has long been stereotyped as bland,brown,and uninspiring.Dishes like fish pie,mushy peas,and summer pudding reinforce this6.British anthropologist Kate Fox attributes this reputation to historical factors,including Puritan self-denial,the Industrial Revolution's separation of people from the land,and wartime rationing(定量配给).Unlike the French or Italians,the English have often viewed a deep passion for food as 62 However,Britain's food culture has evolved.Immigration from former colonies in the mid- 20th century introduced vibrant flavors,and in recent decades,London's restaurant scene has risen to a world-class level,offering everything from Thai soup to Nigerian barbecue.This has led to a renewed appreciation for traditional British63 At the height of a globalized high-end food culture,which __small plates and intricate garnishes(装饰品)，the stark plainness of British comfort food has begun to feel ..The viral fame of"Old Dry Keith"and Burberry's partnership with Norman's Cafe,which celebrates classic greasy spoon dishes,reflecting this growing fascination.

"It's the care for 6 that's really coming into play now,"says Will Lewis,a chef who has worked at both St.John Bread and Wine and Rochelle Canteen.In 2020,he founded Willy's Pies,seeking to revive the meat pie,a centuries-old staple that had been neglected in recent decades. "People have found short cuts and so everyone has the 69that it should be cheaper rather than focusing on its quality,"he explains.He now sells pies with traditional fillings like chicken and beef,using prime 7)from grass-fed animals,as well as versions with less common stuffings,such as oxtail with oyster,a specialty of London's historic pie and mash shops.

If some of the similarities between sports and the workplace are the stuff of cliche,many of the differences are too big to be helpful.Sporting contests have the77clarity of finishing positions;most jobs78such simple benchmark.A four-year Olympic cycle79 to a contest that may last only seconds has few obvious equivalents in business.The athletes who win medals at the games are80 not just with enormous determination but also immense natural gifts.The job of managers is partly to identify such superstars,but their real task is getting the best out of a workforce whose jobs will not depend as heavily on81."

(A) The Shadow Library Berlin,1942.The air was thick with fear.The city was choked by silence.The Nazi regime had extinguished dissent ()while a quiet resistance was taking shape-not with weapons,but with words. Anna Keller,a former literature student at the University of Berlin,understood the power of books.The Nazis had declared war on free thought,reducing thousands of books to ashes in public bonfires,their flames reflecting the growing darkness of the era. After the first time Anna had witnessed such a fire of burning books,she made her decision: if the Nazis sought to erase knowledge,she would preserve it.With the help of her former professor, Herr Fischer.and a handful of like-minded intellectuals,they began to smuggle banned books into a forgotten wine cellar beneath an old bookshop.Its owner.a weary and arrogant man,had seen too many of his customers disappear in the dead of night.He understood the risks but handed Anna the key without hesitation.Shelves were packed with volumes deemed dangerous by the regime- works on philosophy,history,political theory,and poetry that spoke of liberty.The group called their refuge Die Schattenbibliothek-The Shadow Library. Every evening,they gathered to read and remember that another world had once existed- a world where ideas could flourish unchained.In that small space,whispered words became acts of rebellion.However,in a city where betrayal hid behind every corner,secrecy was fragile.One evening,as Anna left the bookstore,she noticed a man hanging around the street,his gaze lingering on her a moment too long.An informant,perhaps.The next day,a warning arrived-someone had reported“subversive(颠覆性的)activities'”at the shop..Time was running out.That night they worked quickly.Books were smuggled out in baskets,hidden in attics,and buried beneath floorboards.By dawn,the cellar stood empty,except for dust and a lingering scent of ink. The Gestapo(纳粹秘密警察)arrived hours later.They tore through the shop,.upturned shelves,interrogated Herr Fischer.But they found nothing in the shop and his answers.The books, the people,the ideas-they had slipped beyond the regime's grasp,as words so often do. Forced into hiding,Anna carried only a single book with her-a collection of Goethe's poetry.When the war had ended and the city lay in ruins,she returned to the place where the bookstore had once stood.It was gone,reduced to rubble by Allied bombs.However,in the wreckage of a broken world,she found hope.The war had sought to silence knowledge,but knowledge had endured. 86.Why did Anna build Die Schattenbibliothek? A.To protect banned books and secretly teach people how to resist the Nazi regime. B.To establish a secret library that preserves books and serves as a refuge for intellectual 9 扫描全能王创建 回只 discussion. C.To provide a hiding place for intellectuals and organize armed rebellion against the regime. D.To collect banned books as evidence for future trials against the Nazis. 87.Why did the author mention the shop owner? A.To show that he was a contributor to the library in terms of the important shelter he provided. B.To emphasize the widespread support for the resistance movement from his previous customers in Berlin. C.To highlight the risks people were willing to take to preserve knowledge during the Nazi regime. D.To illustrate that the owner was an old acquaintance of Anna Keller and her group,which made the collaboration easier. 88.In the underlined sentence,what does"interrogated"most likely mean? A.arrested B.inquired C.encountered D.attacked. 89.What is the main purpose of the passage? A.To demonstrate the inhumane acts of the Nazis and evoke readers'anger towards the Nazi regime. B.To emphasize Anna's heroic deeds,with the intention of inspiring readers to be brave in the face of adversity. C.To illustrate the impact of Nazi rule on free thought and highlight intellectual resistance. D.To analyze the historical context of Nazi's book-burning campaigns and discuss the impact on cultural development.
