NASAs Opportunity rover(2*)has reached the end of its life. Initially designed to
last 90 days, and to travel only 1,000 meters, Opportunity in fact spent almost 15 years ex
loring the surface of Mars. During that time, it traveled more than 45 kilometers beyond ex-
pectation.
The last signal from Opportunity was on June 10th, 2018, when a severe global dust
storm enveloped Mars. Since then, NASA has spent eight months trying to regain communi-
cation with the rover, but had no result. On Tuesday February 12th, 2019, NASA made one
final attempt to wake Opportunity up, but it was unsuccessful
Before Opportunity was sent into space, the Mars Global Surveyor spotted what looked
like sedimentary rocks(沉积岩) from orbit in200. An Opportunity team member said,“On
the earth, sedimentary rocks preserve the history of the surface of our planet, and within that
history, the fossil record of life exists. It is reasonable to look for evidence of past life on
Mars
While the rover didnt find any actual fossils, Opportunity did provide evidence that the
environment on Mars was once much better and warmer. This answered what was the major
goal of the Opportunity rover. Opportunity identified sedimentary rocks which basically meant
the presence of water. But not everything went smoothly for Opportunity to achieve the goal
of exploration. At one point in 2005, all its six wheels were stuck in soft sand, and it tool
five weeks of hard work to get the rover out.
Opportunity was one of the most successful rovers ever. During its journey on Mars
Opportunity discovered“ Heat Shield rock”, a basketball-sized meteorite(陨石) which is
made mostly of iron and nickel. It also gave us a massive amount of photos of Mars with
hich people have done some amazing things. bodrov, a photographer, took images from
Opportunity to create a 360-degree view of Victoria Crater on Mars
Although Opportunity has reached the end, the legacy (it t)that the rover produced for
us will last a long time. With the technological development, perhaps the day is not so far off
when brave astronauts walk on the surface of Mars.
28. What do the statistics in paragraph 1 mainly show?
A Opportunity's journey on Mars came to an end.
B Opportunity was overused for more than a decade.
C Opportunitys performance was better than expected.
D. Opportunity explored Mars within the assigned time.
