the
reading
part,
a
popular
science
passage
tells
the
development
of
the
telescope
and
its
significant
impact
on
human
space
history.
The

much
of
the
universe
remains
unexpected
that
human
beings
are
still
close
to
the

1.
Why
do
you
think
people
have
always
been
interested
in
the
stars?
2.
Which
development
in
astronomy
mentioned
in
the
passage
has
made
the
greatest
impression
on
you?
3.
In
what
different
ways
do
the
two
reading
passage
in
this
unit
reflect
the
spirit
of
exploration?
Suggested
answer:
The
first
passage
is
mainly
about
the
Challenger
disaster.
Although
it
was
a
tragedy,
people
did
not
stop
exploring
space.
This
shows
that
people
will
always
seek
to
explore
space,
even
if
some
lose
their
life
in
ding
so.
The
second
passage
is
about
the
development
of
the
telescope,
and
how
it
reflects
the
desire
to
explore
the
unknown.
Unlike
the
exploration
conducted
by
astronauts
of
the
Challenger
such
as
those
in
the
Challenger,
the
exploration
in
the
second
passage
was
conducted
by
people
located
on
Earth,
at
no
personal
risk.
Nevertheless,
the
knowledge
gained
from
telescope
is
immense.
The
two
passages
show
that
there
are
different
ways
of
exploring
universe
and
of
gaining
knowledge.
Activity

Give
a
talk
about
the
quote:
The
more
we
know,
the
more
we
feel
our
ignorance;
the
more
we
feel
how
much
remains
unknown.
(Humphry
Davy)
Point
of
view
I
can
not
agree
with
the
saying
more.
Argument
Take
reading
for
example.
The
more
you
read
good
books,
the
more
shallow
you
will
feel,
and
the
less
when
you
realize
that
you
know
too
little,
you
will
actively
do
more
reading.?On
the
contrary,
those
who
have
read
fewer
books
often
think
that
they
know
a
lot,
but
they
do
not
realize
that
the
ocean
of
knowledge
is
endless.
As
the
saying
goes,
“My
life
is
limited
while
knowledge
is
infinite.”

[句式分析]
“as

为as引导的状语从句,意为“随着它被人们了解”;“thought
to
be
composed
of
subatomic
particles
invisible

ordinary

“invisible
to
ordinary
telescope”为形容词短语作定语修饰名词
subatomic
particles.

人们逐渐了解,直径天500米的圆盘望远镜被用于寻找暗物质,人们认为暗物质是由普通望远镜无法观测到的亚原子粒子组成。
