Ⅴ.阅读理解
Many objects in the universe are invisible, but they send radio waves. The radio telescope thus appeared, and it is considered one of the greatest inventions in the twentieth century. Reber built the world's first radio telescope in 1937. Ryle and Hewish developed radio telescope systems for the location of weak radio sources, and they shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1974.
A radio telescope is usually made up of:
◆One or more antennas(天线) to collect the radio waves. Most antennas are made in the shape of a dish to collect and reflect the radio waves to the sub reflector, in the same way as a curved(弯曲的) mirror focuses visible light to one point.
◆A receiver and amplifier to receive the radio waves from the sub reflector, and make these weak radio waves strong enough to be recorded and turned into electronic signals. To make an amplifier sensitive enough, it is usually cooled to very low temperatures (e.g. as low as 270℃).
◆A recorder to keep a record of the electronic signals. Most radio telescopes today keep the signals to the computer's memory disk for astronomers to analyse later.
Radio wavelengths are much longer than those of visible light, and the radio waves from deep space are always weak. To catch these waves, radio telescopes usually have huge antennas. The sizes of most antennas in use today are around 50 to 300 metres in diameter(直径). The antenna of FAST in Guizhou,
China, the latest and largest radio telescope in the world, is 500 metres in diameter, as large as the size of 30 football fields.
To avoid interference, and keep the telescopes sensitive, radio telescopes are built in places where there are no human radio waves or electronic signals. For example, FAST is 5 kilometres away from the closest village and 25 kilometres away from the nearest town.
Radio telescopes create pictures of the sky, not in visible light, but in radio waves. This is extremely useful, because there are objects that can't be seen, objects that we wouldn't even know were there without telescopes.
( )28.Radio telescopes help collect ________ from the universe.
A.light B.objects
C.radio waves D.visible signals
( )29.Most antennas of radio telescopes are made in the shape of a dish to________.
A.make the antennas strong enough
B.increase the number of radio waves
C.turn radio waves into electronic signals
D.focus radio waves on the sub reflector
( )30.The underlined word “interference” in the passage refers to________.
A.the noises made by villagers and animals
B.the sounds from the radios and televisions
C.the people who go to Guizhou to watch FAST work
D.the radio waves and electronic signals from humans
( )31.What have we done with the help of radio telescopes
A.We have received pictures of deep space.
B.We have discovered unknown lives in the universe.
C.We have found some unknown objects in the universe.
D.We have turned the radio waves from space into light.
答案
Ⅰ.1.having 2.developing
3.achievement(s) 4.succeeded
5.first
Ⅱ.6.gave up 7.sent into 8.went into
9.started with 10.shared, with
11.talking with 12.background
Ⅲ.13.C 句意:“琳达,欢迎来参加我们的新年聚会。这将以玛丽的一首热门歌曲开始。”“哇, 听上去太好了。我会按时到达的。”start with意为“以……开始”。
14.B
15.D 句意:“神舟五号是在2003年被送入太空的吗?”“是的。”根据句意可知应该是被动语态,所以后面需要用动词的过去分词形式。send out意为“发出”; send into意为“送入”。
16.A
17.A the ability to do sth意为“做某事的能力”。
18.C 句意:“感谢你来参加我们的班会,我们非常高兴听到你的故事。”“是我的荣幸。” thank sb for doing sth意为“因为……而感谢某人”。
19.D 句意为“亨利可以在不到五天的时间里熟知新班级和新学校,太棒了!”less than意为“少于”。
Ⅳ.20.put a lot of effort into 21.Since
22.useful, important
23.starts/begins with
24.to face, give up
25.As 26.make great achievements
27.to achieve/realise your dreams
Ⅴ.[主旨大意] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了射电望远镜的相关信息,包括射电望远镜的发明历史和工作原理,对人类研究太空所做的贡献以及安装射电望远镜的位置选择等;也介绍了现今位于中国贵州的世界上最大的射电望远镜FAST。
28.C 细节理解题。短文第一段第一、二句话说明射电望远镜产生的原因是宇宙中有些物体看不见,但发射无线电波。短文第二段第一句说明射电望远镜的天线用来收集无线电波。
29.D 细节理解题。短文第二段中的“Most antennas are made in the shape of a dish to collect and reflect the radio waves to the sub reflector…”说明把天线制成碟状是为了把无线电波聚焦到副反射器上。
30.D 推理判断题。由倒数第二段第一句中的“…where there are no human radio waves or electronic signals.”可知,画线单词译为“干扰”,指来自人类的无线电波和电子信号的干扰。
31.C 细节理解题。短文开篇说明了射电望远镜发明的目的和意义,短文最后一段进一步说明射电望远镜所做的贡献是发现宇宙中不为所知但存在的物体。
