All the students from Grade One attended the lecture, watched the astronauts’ living and working conditions and gained insight into their magical daily life and challenging routine missions.What’s more, those lucky ones even interacted with the astronauts through the video call.It was fascinating to learn about the challenges and rewards of space exploration and the important research being conducted in microgravity. The lecture won great popularity with the students, keeping their thirst for space knowledge alive and fuelling their enthusiasm for science as well.Period Four Writing Ⅰ.A 【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了10月初,在一起地球外环境执法案件中,首次对造成太空垃圾的主体处以罚款,文章还介绍了太空垃圾的危害以及处理方式。 1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The television company, Dish Network, was hit with a $125,000 fine by the United States government for failing to remove a satellite in orbit that would have risked a collision with other space equipment…”可知,Dish Network被罚款是因为未能移除轨道上的卫星,即把太空垃圾留在了轨道上。故选A。 2.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A huge amount of damage can be caused by something just a few centimetres in size, meaning that every effort must be taken to keep space as clear as possible.
