2022年新中考英语热点时文阅读题型专练(5)天宫1号宇宙飞船

On April 2, we said goodbye to Tiangong I, China's first space lab. According to the China Manned Space Agency（中国载人航天）, Tiangong I re-entered the Earth's atmosphere（大气层）and some of its debris（碎片）fell into the South Pacific Ocean.

There are many spacecraft（宇宙飞船）that are still in orbit（轨道）above the Earth. After finishing their trips, they will all re-enter the Earth's atmosphere like Tiangong I.

There are two types of re-entries: controlled re-entry and uncontrolled re-entry.

Some satellites and manned spacecraft come back to the Earth in a controlled re-entry. Experts calculate（计算）the path of the falling spacecraft and its speed. They can guide the spacecraft to fall in a chosen area.

Some spacecraft may have problems while in space after a certain amount of time. These spacecraft come back in an uncontrolled re-entry. It is hard to tell when and where these spacecraft will fall until the last few hours. The US space station Skylab came back partially uncontrolled in 1979. Parts of the station fell in western Australia, but no one was hurt.

During re-entry, most of the spacecraft will burn up while passing through the Earth's atmosphere. Only a small amount of the debris will reach the ground. The debris typically ends up falling into the ocean, China Daily reported.

18．The debris from Tiangong I _____.

A．fell into the South Pacific OceanB．fell in western Australia

C．fell in the central part of the USD．fell into the North Pacific Ocean

19．When the spacecraft finishes its trip, it will _____.

A．burn up and disappearB．speed up and fly back to the Earth

C．enter another orbit and stay in spaceD．re-enter the Earth's atmosphere

20．From the passage, we know there are _____types of re-entries.

A．oneB．twoC．threeD．four

21．Which of the following is TRUE about the US space station Skylab?_____

A．It came back in a controlled re-entry.

B．Some people were hurt by its debris.

C．Parts of it fell in western Australia.

D．It was directed to fall into the ocean.

22．This story most probably comes from _____.

A．a story bookB．a movie reviewC．a science magazineD．a government report

【答案】

18．A

19．D

20．B

21．C

22．C

【分析】

文章大意：本文以天宫一号为例，介绍了有些宇宙飞船在完成科学任务后返回地球时的坠落区域是可以控制的，但有些则不然。

18．细节理解题。根据“Tiangong I re-entered the Earth's atmosphere（大气层）and some of its debris（碎片）fell into the South Pacific Ocean.”可知，天宫一号的碎片掉进了南太平洋，故选A。

19．细节理解题。根据“After finishing their trips, they will all re-enter the Earth's atmosphere like Tiangong I.”可知，当宇宙飞船完成它的旅程后，它将重新进入地球的大气层，故选D。

20．细节理解题。根据“There are two types of re-entries: controlled re-entry and uncontrolled re-entry.”可知，从文章中，我们知道有两种回收类型，故选B。

21．理解判断题。根据“The US space station Skylab came back partially uncontrolled in 1979. Parts of the station fell in western Australia, but no one was hurt.”可知，美国太空实验室的部分碎片掉到了西澳大利亚，故选C。

22．文章来源题。通读全文可知，本文主要叙述了天宫一号等宇宙飞船返回的方式，属于航空航天领域的科学知识，因此应出自科学杂志，故选C。
