UNIT 2　Out of this world Section Ⅳ　Extended reading & Project & Assessment 内容索引 整体预习 1 语篇理解 2 课时精练 5 夯实双基 3 互动探究 4 整体预习 返回 ①solar system太阳系 ②a waste of浪费 ③purse n．资金，财源；钱包 原文呈现 名师圈点 Why we explore 　　In 1969，when Neil Armstrong first landed on the Moon，many people thought that soon we would be regularly visiting other planets in our solar system① and would even dare to travel beyond it．【1】This is clearly not the case.The reality is that space exploration is extremely difficult and dangerous，can take a very long time and costs a huge amount of money．【2】Some people believe that while space exploration expands our understanding of the universe，it is a waste of ② the public purse③ and does nothing to enhance the quality of our lives here on the Earth．【3】Why do we continue to explore space，then? 【1】本句为主从复合句。句中when引导时间状语从句，that引导宾语从句作动词thought的宾语。 【2】本句为主从复合句。句中that引导表语从句，从句中第二个and连接的是谓语动词。 【3】本句为主从复合句。句中that引导的宾语从句作动词believe的宾语，从句中含有while引导的让步状语从句。 ④look up 仰望；查阅；尊敬 ⑤make sense of 理解；弄懂 make sense有意义；讲得通 ⑥be fascinated by着迷于……；被……吸引 ⑦tale n．故事；讲述，叙述 原文呈现 名师圈点 　　It is in our nature to explore.From the very early days of human life on the Earth，our curiosity about the unknown has kept us adventuring into new places.We long to visit thick and wild forests，climb vast mountain ranges，and cross deep oceans.We desire to explore the furthest frontier of all—space.As Stephen Hawking once said，“Remember to look up④ at the stars and not down at your feet.Try to make sense of⑤ what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist．【4】Be curious.” That we are fascinated by⑥ the sky is evident in ancient tales⑦ from around the world，such as that of Chang'e．【5】While space exploration is a reality，we remain curious about the mysteries of the universe．【6】With each space mission comes greater insight，thus motivating us to continue along the same path of adventure. 【4】本句为主从复合句。句中两个what都引导宾语从句。 【5】本句为主从复合句。句中第一个That引导主语从句。 【6】本句为主从复合句。句中While引导让步状语从句。 ⑧make contributions to为……做出贡献 ⑨origin n．起源，起因；出身 原文呈现 名师圈点 　　The results of these space investigations have made major contributions to⑧ an understanding of the origin⑨，evolution，and likely future of the universe，such as planets，stars，and all other forms of matter and energy.Exploring space helps address fundamental questions about our place in the universe and the history of our solar system.It is through our research into space that we have confirmed that the Earth is round and that it orbits the Sun．【7】As we learn more about the universe，we may one day answer the question whether there is life on other planets．【8】 【7】本句为强调句型。其中后两个that引导并列的宾语从句，作动词confirmed的宾语。 【8】本句为主从复合句。句中As引导时间状语从句。 ⑩apply to 适用于；应用于 ⑪shuttle n．航天飞机；来往于两地之间的航班(或班车、火车) vi.频繁往来(于两地之间) ⑫set up 建立；树立 ⑬frequency n．发生率，出现率；频繁；频率 frequent adj.频繁的；时常发生的；惯常的 ⑭in order to为了 ⑮hydrogen n．氢，氢气 ⑯ rocket n．火箭；火箭武器 ⑰motive n．原因，动机，目的 原文呈现 名师圈点 　　With technologies first researched and developed for space exploration，we can solve some of the big problems facing mankind，making our lives safer and easier.One of these is earthquake shock absorbers.Shock absorbers originally applied to⑩ the space shuttle⑪ launch have also been set up⑫ in the cities with a high frequency⑬ of earthquakes in order to⑭ protect buildings and save lives.Some technologies need further research to better solve real-life problems.For example，liquid hydrogen⑮ is a clean alternative energy source that is used widely as rocket⑯ fuel，and it is likely that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will be mass-produced and launched in the near future. These scientific and technological advances can provide benefits to societies on the Earth in many areas including health，energy and information technology.This should be a strong motive⑰ for continuing to explore space. ⑱investment n．投资；投入 invest vt.& vi.投资；投入 ⑲calculate vt.计算，核算；预测 ⑳a variety of种种；各种各样的 ㉑coverage n．新闻报道；覆盖范围；信息范围 ㉒mechanic n．机械师，技工 ㉓assistant n．助理；售货员；助教 adj.助理的，副的 原文呈现 名师圈点 　　Although space exploration demands huge investment⑱，the space industry can actually bring great economic value．【9】It has been calculated⑲ that the global space economy is increasing by billions of dollars every year.At the same time，space exploration can provide a variety of⑳ career opportunities for young people.Jobs in the space industry go far beyond the astronauts that receive widespread media coverage㉑.There are many support staff on the ground，such as engineers，mechanics㉒ and research assistants㉓. 【9】本句为主从复合句。句中Although引导让步状语从句。 ㉔incredibly adv.极其，极端地；令人难以置信 原文呈现 名师圈点 　　Moreover，the amazing work these people do can provide education and inspiration for the next generation.For me personally，this is by far the biggest reason for humanity to explore space.

From the astronomical point there is no time during the year which is the best for the discovery of new comets.A search can be done at any time providing there is no bright Moon. Studies done on the discovery conditions of comets discovered before show that more comets have been discovered in the morning sky than in the evening sky.Thus the smart comet hunter should make sure that morning activity receives as much if not more attention than any evening effort. In recent times，the use of advanced CCD technology to discover objects close to the Earth will in the future greatly reduce the chances of new comets being found with small telescopes.An example of the new technology is the very successful LINEAR program operating in New Mexico.However，until a similar system is based in the southern half of the Earth there will continue to be chances for the discovery of new comets which come from the south. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了观测彗星的要领。 1．What are comet hunters advised to do? A．Look away from the Sun. B．Stay where there's bright light. C．Face the western sky in the daytime. D．Turn to the east in the early morning. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This means that searches should be put on the western sky after evening light and on the eastern sky before morning light.”可知，早晨太阳出来之前应观测东面的天空。故选D。 √ 2．What do we know about the time for the discovery of new comets? A．Days when they're close to the Earth are great chances. B．Certain fixed days are best for watching comets. C．Every day is the same if there's no bright Moon. D．Days with the Moon should never be missed. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A search can be done at any time providing there is no bright Moon.”可知，只要没有明亮的月亮，每一天都一样可以观测。故选C。 √ 3．Which of the following is a smart idea for comet hunters? A．Paying more attention in the morning than in the afternoon. B．Being equally serious both in the morning and afternoon. C．Being more relaxed in the morning than in the afternoon. D．Forming a habit of working only in the morning. 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Thus the smart comet hunter should make sure that morning activity receives as much if not more attention than any evening effort.”可知，早晚观测彗星应该投入一样的精力。故选B。 √ 4．What can be inferred about the CCD technology? A．It's similar to a telescope. B．It'll disappoint comet hunters. C．It's spreading all over the world. D．It'll make comet hunters feel lucky. 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“the use of advanced CCD technology...greatly reduce the chances of new comets being found with small telescopes”可知，CCD技术降低了彗星猎人发现新的彗星的概率，因此他们应该会感到有些失望。故选B。 √ Ⅱ.完形填空 When you lose your wallet somewhere，you can pretty much kiss that wallet and anything in it goodbye.But 20-year-old Hunter Shamatt had a 1 person watching out for him.
