同源高考阅读训练:中国火星探索的先驱等3那么2023届高考英语复习备考中国火星探索的先驱张荣桥是中国首次火星探测任务工程的总设计师,他“仰望星空,脚踏实地”, 笃信“这恰恰是社会对我们每个人的需求,是我们在社会上安身立命的途径,需要我 们立足当下,放眼未来”。IZhang Rongqiao, chief designer of China's first interplanetary endeavor (努力) the Tianwen 1 Mars mission was named by the top scientific journal Nature as one of the 10 people “who mattered in sciencen in 2021. The annual list, published on the journal's website, said that Zhang is an engineer who led uChina's first successful Mars mission, which reached the planet last year and landed a rover (漫游者) on its surface” .2Launched in July, 2020 from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan Province, the Tianwen 1 robotic probe, named after an ancient Chinese poem, traveled a total of 475 million kilometers before entering Martian orbit on Feb. 10, 2021.3After more than three months of preparations, a landing capsule released by the probe descended through the Martian atmosphere in an extremely challenging landing process and finally touched down on the planet on May 15, making China the second country, after the United States, to have successfully conducted a landing on the surface of Mars.4On May 22, the Chinese rover Zhurong became the sixth vehicle to travel on the Martian surface, following the five predecessors (前任) from the US.5Born in March, 1966 in Qimen County, Anhui Province, Zhang studied at local schools until he went to Xidian University in Shaanxi Province in 1982. In 1988, he received a bachelor's degree and was admitted as a postgraduate student by the China Academy of Space Technology in Beijing. After graduating in 1991, Zhang started his career at the academy's Beijing Institute of Satellite Information Engineering and gradually moved up through professional ranks to eventually become the institute's head. In 2004, he was named chief engineer of the Lunar Exploration Center under the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and has worked there since then. Zhang has also taken part in China's lunar exploration and high-resolution Earth observation satellite programs.Reading CheckChoose the best answers according to the textDetail1.

It can fly, stay on various surfaces, catch and carry objects, just like the mighty falcon (隼)that was used as the source of inspiration in its development.2Each leg of the SNAG has two motors, one for helping it move back and forth, and the other one for grasping. Twenty printing attempts were necessary for the robot to finally reach its current structure, but it was worth it. Now, according to researchers, the flying machine has an impressively strong and high speed clutch, being able to land and wrap its claws around a branch in about 20 milliseconds. Then the SNAG's ankles lock, and there's an accelerometer (力口速度计) on its right foot that reports that it's landed while triggering a balancing process to stabilize it.3Scientists have already conducted several tests with the robot in rural areas and on different surfaces. In all the situations, the SNAG was able to catch objects thrown by hand, such as bean bags and a tennis ball, and more.4As for the applications of the birdlike robot, the SNAG can get attached to drones and be used for search and rescue missions, wildfire monitoring, to offer just a few examples. Another great application is environmental research, with the SNAG also featuring a temperature and humidity sensor. By using a robot that can act like a bird, you can unlock new ways of studying the environment, as explained by William Roderick, a mechanical engineer and one of the researchers involved in the project. Now scientists are moving on to improving the robot's situational awareness and flight control.5This isn't the first time nature inspires groundbreaking technologies. Recently, a piece about the F-SAM micro drone was also written, which was inspired by the flight of samara (翼果) seeds, also known as "twisters" which have a special way of spinning down to the ground.Reading CheckChoose the best answers according to the textDetail 1.

We took a flight from home to Lima, Peru and from there to the small town of Iquitos which is right inside the rainforest. All my fears were transformed into wonder as I saw the rainforest for the first time. We boarded the cruise ship in the evening and after a dinner settled down for the night. The sunrise that I woke up to was a sight that I can never forget; the long winding river was ahead of me since the bedroom faced the Amazon River. Though technically we were on a cruise ship, most of our time was spent on the skiffs (4、戈ll艇) which are bigger versions of canoes.3Every morning we would be divided into batches (北匕) of 30 and loaded into the skiff boats for trips. It is rightly believed that the Amazon rainforest is a photographer's dream project. With the tropical landscape, the wildlife, and the river from great visuals around me, I felt that I had not captured enough photographs.4Some mornings were quiet and spent on the boat where we chilled out and did some bird watching. Most of the birds found in the rainforest are ones which we have never even heard of, many of which are in bright colors like parakeets. Yet another excitement in the trip was the forest trek through the winding terrains of the Amazon rainforest. The trek took us right into the forest and we got to experience the firsthand stillness of the jungle and also saw the flora and fauna there. There were a lot of medicinal plants in the forest and the guide explained that the rainforest is home to many rare species of plants.Reading CheckChoose the best answers according to the textDetail 1.
