Question

(2017湖南永州)

On Dec.28,a small satellite(卫星)was launched(发射)into space from Taiyuan,Shanxi.It was a big news for students at Beijing Bayi School.After all,they designed the satellite.

With the help of space scientists,more than 30 students built this satellite(12cm long,11cm wide and 27cm tall).This is the first satellite designed and built by middle school students in China.

This August,the school worked with the China Center For Aerospace Science and Technology International Communications(CCASTIC中国航天科技国际交流中心)and started the satellite program.It allowed space experts to teach students about basic knowledge of satellites.

After several months of hard work,students designed their own satellite.Their main achievement was the design of the satellite’s function(功能) in space.“We worked together and came up with more than 10 ideas.But after tests and experiments we settled on four,”Zhu Xun,16,told Beijing Evening News. 

Indeed,they have to consider the weight of the satellite.The satellite will stay in space more than 180 days.Its functions include taking pictures of Earth,radio communication and sending information to Earth.The students hope that the satellite can take photos of smog,typhoon(台风)and other weather conditions.

The students were divided into five groups.The group members worked closely to make satellite models“Every time we think the satellite we are designing will fly into space,we are excited and try to do experiments.”said Shen Shulang,17.They also visited the Chinese Academy Of Sciences and other organizations to get inspiration(灵感).

A. The school

B. Space scientists

C. CCASTIC

5.What’s the main idea of the passage?              

A. The first student-designed satellite was launched into space.

【解析】本文主要内容：去年12月28日，一颗小卫星在山西太原发射升空。它是北京八一学校的学生设计的。在太空科学家帮助下，30余名学生建造了这个卫星。这由中国中学生设计并建造的第一颗卫星。经过几个月的艰苦工作，学生们设计了自己的卫星。他们的主要成就是卫星在太空中的功能设计。“我们一起工作，想出了10多个想法。但是经过测试和实验，我们确定了四个功能。”16岁的朱迅告诉北京晚报。卫星将在太空停留超过180天。它的功能包括拍摄地球、无线电通信和向地球发送信息。学生们被分成五组，小组成员密切合作，他们还访问了中国科学院和其他组织，以获得灵感。

1.题意：_______________________设计了卫星。A. Students from Beijing Bayi School北京八一学校学生；B. Some space scientists一些太空科学家；C. Some space experts一些空间专家。根据第1段第2和3句It was a big news for students at Beijing Bayi School.After all,they designed the satellite.（这对北京八一学校的学生来说是个大新闻。毕竟，他们设计了卫星。）可知是学生设计了卫星，故选A。

2.题意：卫星不能________________。A. take pictures of Earth拍摄地球照片；B. send information发送信息；C. predict the information预测信息。根据第4段第3句Its functions include taking pictures of Earth, radio communication and sending information to Earth.（它的功能包括拍摄地球、无线电通信和向地球发送信息。）可知卫星不能预测信息；故选C。

3.题意：下画线短语“settled on”的汉语意思是_________________。A. 计算；B. 确定；C. 总计。根据上文和此句句意We worked together and came up with more than 10 ideas. But after tests and experiments we settled on four,（我们一起工作，想出了10多个主意，但经过试验和试验，我们确定了四个，）可以推测“settled on”的汉语意思是“确定”；选B。

4.题意：_______________帮助学生建造小卫星。A. The school学校；B. Space scientists太空科学家；C. CCASTIC中国航天科技国际交流中心。根据第2段第1句With the help of space scientists,more than 30 students built this satellite(12cm long,11cm wide and 27cm tall).可知是在太空科学家的帮助下，30多名词学生建造了小卫星。故选B。

5.题意：这篇文章的主要思想是什么？A. The first student-designed satellite was launched into space. 第一个学生设计的卫星被发射到太空；B. Space experts taught the students about the basic knowledge of satellites. 太空专家教给学生有关卫星的基本知识。C. Students visited some science organization to get inspiration. 学生参观了一些科学组织以获得灵感。本文主要讲述了由中国中学生设计并建造的第一颗卫星被发射到太空，在太空科学家帮助下，30余名学生建造了这个卫星。卫星将在太空停留超过180天。它的功能包括拍摄地球、无线电通信和向地球发送信息。根据本文主要内容可知选A。
