Question

 

China's first moon rover (月球車), Yutu, set off from the lander early on December 15, several hours after the Chang'e-3 probe (探測器) soft-landed on the moon surface.

The 140 kg six-wheeled rover touched the moon surface at 4:35 a.m., leaving deep lines on the loose moon land. This was recorded by the camera on the lander and the images were sent to the earth, according to the Beijing Aerospace Control Center. After that, the rover and lander will take photos of each other and start their own science explorations.

    Earlier this morning, engineers made final checks of the environment of the landing area and the situation of the probe. Yutu, reached its solar panel (光板) and started to drive slowly to the moon at 3:10 a.m.. It took Yutu nearly a whole hour to complete the simple task.

Chang'e-3 landed at the Bay of Rainbows on the moon, at 9:11 p.m. on December 14, making China the

third country in the world to carry out such a mission (執(zhí)行此類任務) after the United States and Russia.

In old Chinese tales, Yutu was the white pet rabbit of Chang'e’s. The name for the rover was selected following an online survey that collected several million votes from people around the world.

The rover, 1.5 meters long with its two wings folded (折疊), 1 m in width and 1.1 m in height, is a perfect robot controlled by the command center from the earth. It will face challenges including temperature differences of more than 300℃ on the moon.

Yutu will do some research and look for natural resources (資源) for three months, while the lander will conduct an exploration at the landing place for one year. Then they will have a good rest on the moon and will not be used for a long time until China’s next probe visits the moon again.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文中作者主要主要介紹了玉兔號和嫦娥三號在太空探測月球的工作過程。主要描述了玉兔和嫦娥三號的基本信息情況。

1.主旨大意題。根據短文內容可知，本文主要就是講解了玉兔探測月球的事情；故選D。

2.句子排序題。根據時間順序可以得出事件的順序。短文第四段Chang'e-3 landed at the Bay of Rainbows on the moon, at 9:11 p.m. on December 14, 可知嫦娥三號首先在月亮灣著陸；第三段Yutu, reached its solar panel (光板) and started to drive slowly to the moon at 3:10 a.m.可知，接下來玉兔號開始緩慢地向月球駛去；第二段第一句The 140 kg six-wheeled rover touched the moon surface at 4:35 a.m可知，到了上午四點三十五分140千克六輪月球車抵達月球；第二段After that, the rover and lander will take photos of each other 可知，最后月球車和著陸器會相互拍照以記錄相關數(shù)據；故答案為C。

3.詞義猜測題。根據本句內容可知，月球車的長為1.5米，高為1.1米，由此可推斷它的寬度是1米；故由此可猜測width的意思為寬度；故答案為B。

4.細節(jié)理解題。根據短文第四段making China the third country in the world to carry out such a mission (執(zhí)行此類任務) after the United States and Russia.可知，中國式僅次于美俄之后登上月球的；故A正確；根據第六段第一句The rover is a perfect robot controlled by the command center from the earth.可知B項錯誤；最后一段第一句可知，玉兔的任務周期為三個月，而月球著陸探測器的任務周期是一年，所以C項錯誤；第二段The 140 kg six-wheeled rover 可知月球車的重量是140千克，而不是嫦娥三號的重量，D項錯誤；故選A。

5.細節(jié)理解題。根據短文最后一段可知，玉兔在完成任務后直至中國下一次的探測任務之前會好好休息可知，下一次的探測任務命名可能是玉兔二號；故選B。

考點：科技類短文閱讀。
