21、 The lander carrying China’s first Mars rover successfully touched down on the red planet early Saturday morning Beijing Time May 15, 2021. It is the first time China has landed a probe on a planet other than Earth.
Tianwen-1, consisting of an orbiter, a lander and a rover, was launched from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site on the coast of southern China’s island province of Hainan on July 23, 2020. This is the first step in China’s planetary exploration of the solar system, with the purpose of completing orbiting, landing and roving on the red planet in one mission.
The name Tianwen, meaning “questions to Heaven”, comes from a poem written by the ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan (about 340-278 BC). China’s first Mars rover is named Zhurong after the god of fire in ancient Chinese mythology, which echoes with the Chinese name of the red planet: Huoxing (the planet of fire).
Tianwen-1 was launched via a Long March-5 rocket, China’s largest launch vehicle. Tianwen-1 has been traveling in space for nearly 10 months. It has carried out four orbital corrections and a deep-space maneuver. It had flown 475 million km and was 192 million km from Earth when it reached Mars orbit.
The craft’s plummet through the Martian atmosphere, lasting about nine minutes, was extremely complicated with no ground control, and had to be performed by the spacecraft autonomously.
“Such a challenging attempt is characterized by a succession of complex activities that must be conducted completely by the spacecraft within a very short period of time,” said Geng Yan, an official with the Lunar Exploration and Space Program Center of the CNSA. “What added to the difficulties was that we don’t know much about the Martian atmosphere, which brought a lot of uncertainties to the mission. Each step had only one chance, and the actions were closely linked. If there had been any flaw, the landing would have failed.”
【1】What is the mission of Tianwen-1?
A．To record the wind speed on Mars.
B．To accomplish three major tasks on Mars.
C．To search for aliens in the solar system.
D．To explore the atmosphere of Mars.
【2】What do the numbers in paragraph 4 mainly indicate?
A．The expense of traveling in space.
B．The surroundings of the Mars orbit.
C．The huge task of Tianwen-1.
D．The size of the Long March-5 rocket.
【3】Why was it difficult for the spacecraft to plummet?
A．It had to complete the actions independently.
B．It was too fast to be controlled.
C．It had traveled in space for a very long time.
D．It carried too many supplies.
【4】What can we know from Geng Yan’s words?
A．Landing on Mars is a very challenging move.
B．China’s attempt to explore Mars is successful.
C．People are enthusiastic about exploring the universe.
D．Tianwen-1 is essential to China’s space station program.
22、 London has just signed to be the first National Park City. Sadiq Khan, mayor of London, along with several organizations and individuals, signed the London National Park City Charter(宪章) on Monday.
London is already extremely park-like. With a large number of urban parks and waterways and 8.4 million trees, it has a lower urban density (密度) than many other major cities. It is also home to 15,000 species.
The charter aims to improve the lives and well-being of people and wildlife by improving the natural environment of the city. In practical terms, that means trying to reach the goal of turning 50% of the city into green space by 2050. That can be achieved by asking residents to change empty lots and yards into gardens, planting more trees throughout the city and even cutting holes in garden fences. Adding green roofs to existing buildings is also part of the plan,
One way to help achieve its goal is pairing development with conservation. London is expected to add some 2 million new residents to its current population by 2040, meaning it needs thousands and thousands of new homes. Home developers can play a role by surrounding new homes with parks or nature reserves.
"Inspired by the aims and values of the world’s national parks, the London National Park City is fundamentally about making life better in the capital through both small everyday things and long-term strategic thinking." says Daniel Raven-Ellison, founder of the concept.
"It's about lifting our ambitions; going further to make the city greener, healthier and wilder; improving our mental health, cleaning our air; making the city richer in wildlife: freeing children to play and meet friends outdoors again; solving the climate crisis and bring more joy to the city." He added.
Timothy Beatley, an urban planner, says countless cities have already woken up to the idea that greening and improving natural connections make urban life much better. "The basic idea is that nature in cities is not optional but absolutely essential to a happy, healthy and meaningful life." He says.
【1】What are mentioned in paragraphs 3 and 4 about the green move?
A.The conflicts caused by the charter.
B.Different voices about the move.
C.Specific ways to expand green space.
D.Challenges the move will run into.
【2】The founder and the planner mentioned both hold a(an) ___________ attitude to the charter.
A.skeptical B.critical
C.reserved D.favorable
【3】What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A.A green and meaningful life in London
B.London to be "National Park City"
C.Reasons for more green space in London
D.Green ways to make London park-like

24、Mapping Antarctica
Antarctica was on the map long before anyone ever laid eyes on it. Nearly 2,400 years ago, ancient Greek philosophers such as Aristotle believed that a great continent must exist at the bottom of the world. They though it was needed to balance out the continents at the top of the world. In the 1500s, mapmakers often included a fanciful continent they referred to as Terra Incognita(Latin for “unknown land”) at the bottom of their maps. But it was not until the 1800s -----after explorers had sighted and set foot on Antarctica----- that mapmakers got down to the business of really mapping the continent, which is one—and—a –half times rhe size of the U.S..
While the coastline could be mapped by ships sailing around the continent, it took airplanes—and later, satellites---to chart Antarctica’s vast interior(内陆). That job continues today. And it is a job that still require a mapmaker, or cartographer, to put on boots and head out into the wild.
Cole Kelleher is familiar with that. He is a cartographer with the Polar Geospatial Center(PGC), which is based at the University of Minnesota and has a staff at McMurdo Station. PGC teamed up with Google to use the company’s Trekker technology to capture images of Antarctica for the Internet giant’s popular feature, Street View. A Trekker camera, which is the size of a basketball, is set about two feet above a backpack. The camera records image in all directions. “It weighs about 50 pounds. I was out for two and a half days, hiking 10 to 12 hours each day,” says Kelleher. It was hard work, but really an incredible experience.” According to Kelleher there are plans to use the technology to create educational apps for museums.
The PGC staff at McMurdo Station provides highly specialized mapmaking services for the U.S. Antarctic Program. For one project, Kelleher used satellite images to map huge cracks in the ice. That helped a team of researchers know whether they could safely approach their field camp on snowmobiles. Another recent project was to help recover a giant, high—tech helium(氦气) balloon used to carry scientific instruments high into the atmosphere. These balloons are launched in Antarctica because there is no danger that they will hurt anyone when they fall back down to Earth. Using satellite images, Kelleher and colleagues created maps of where the balloon could be found.
Antarctica may no longer be Terra Incognita, but it still holds countless mysteries. Cartographers and the maps they make will continue to be essential in helping scientists unlock those secrets.
